played the old schoolmaster young
again and fixed his thought upon life
that never grows old.
Indeed, the flute player hos even en-
couraged the schoolmaster to begin
teaching again. The scholars are his
grandchildren. They are not having
u hard time, for they sing on their way
to lessons. They are not unhappy
scholars, for one Of them threw kiss
to the last Christmas moon. Last
summer another of them became a
poetess and composed the following
appreciation Of nature:
Above the Argonne Forest
A Star is shining fair;
Its gentle beams awaken
The young men sleeping there
Again in songs of angels
The birth of Christ is told
The young men go to greet Him
With richer gifts than gold.
The flute player is setting this to
music. This scholar has already
learned to write, She has proved that
by producing an invitation to one Of
the school sessions in this form:
Dear Aunt Fanny: AT
Please come Friday, itvoa can; and
If you can't cans, don't come.
She is not flatterer, however, when
she said one Cay "GvAnlssa, you lou's

images before him, he looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had so

for the land that Is beyond the stars.
but not before she had placed in his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon its side.
At the time he had not fully noted
the significance of the happy urchin
In the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi-
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re-
membered melody, then with some new
adventure in the world of harmony,
he seemed to be waiting for the recog-
milton and appreciation that he knew
would come. A steadfast and invet-
crate optimist, he played on; to weari-
ness and loneliness he played hope
full song; forbidding detection and de-
spair. he became prophet of better
days to come. In solitude and useless
ness he was as an only but changeless
friend. To him the old man turned as
to an oracle. Poverty had taken one
after the other of his possessions, but
had never been able to separate him
from this merry genius, this incorrig-
bly, persistent promiser.

aged fortune is likely to admire it and

Industrious hope Of TIE flute player.

OF ALL the Christmas gifts Of past
- years but one remained. 1t seemed
surrounded by charm that was all
its own and, that was as unaffected
by the atmosphere of the bare and
dingy room as light in dark place.
The old schoolmaster took it up, looked
lovingly upon it and replaced 1t upon
the shelf. Then, advancing to the
window, he looked out upon the lighted
star in the church steeple that was
proclaiming Christ's birthday and lis
tened to the shouts of the merrymak-
ers In the streets as they rose upon
the snowy wind.

WANTED SILVER SERVICE
Byrnes Introduces Bill for Daughters
of American Revolution

Washington, Dec. 1.-Represen-
tative Byrnes today introduced, at
the request of officers of the South
Carolina Daughters of the American
Revolution, a bill designating that
organization for preservation and dis
play in their building at Charleston
the silver service formerly used upon
the battleship South Carolina. This
silver service has recently been
loaned to Governor Harvey and by
him placed in the custody Of the
DAUGHTERS of the American Revo-
luton in South Carolina. But there
is no law authorizing the Secretary
of the Navy to make such loan and
at any time the Governor may be
called upon to return it. The Byrnes
bill will place the silver service in
the permanent keeping Of the South
Carolina Daughters.

"Lost" Prisoner

years under a sentence of death, will
today be a free man. His sentence OF
death in the electric chair was COM
muted to serve seven years imprison-
ment by Governor Harvey at 5:45 o =
clock yesterday afternoon and at 3
o'clock the governor suspended the
remainder fthe seven year sentence
during good BEHAVIOR
Brannum is "the lost prisoner,
having been confined in the peniten-
tiary for more than four years with
out action ON his alleged appeal to the
supreme court. However, his pa
thence was we'll rewarded yesterday
afternoon as today he will be re-
leased a free man if the papers are
forwarded to the prison by the COVER
nor's office. Technically he was free
at 6 O'Clock last night, but remained
in prison for the night as "a guest,
as expressed by a visitor at the gov
nor's Office.
Appeal Never Completed.
The negro was convicted of attempt
ed criminal assault in Orangeburg
county in 1918. He was sentenced to
die in October, 1918, but his attor-
ney, appointed by the court, A. j..
Hydrick, now solicitor gave notice
of intention to appeal to the supreme
court. The appeal was never COM
pleted and the case was apparently
FORGOTTEN until agitation was started
this year to have some action taken.
Petitions were sent the governor ask
ing clemency and those familiar with
the case strongly urged the chief exc
cutive to grant Brannum pardon or
parole.
Governor Harvey has been con-
sidering the case for long time and
is convinced that the death sentence
was a miscarriage of justice.
Considerable thought was given to
the wording of the communication and
the suspension of the sentence as a
result of the recent decision Of the
supreme court in the Grover Crooks
case. The governor was determined to
suspend the sentence in such way
that in the future should Brannum
violate the law the chief executive OF
the state would have the power to
revoke the parole and cause the ne
gro to serve the three years.
Wording of Papers
In committing the sentence to seven
years, the governor included the four
years Brannum has been detained at
the penitentiary. With that provision
in the communication the suspended
sentence was for little less than
three years.
The wording of the commutation
was as follows: "Commute the death
sentence imposed upon David Bran
mum to a term of seven years impris-
onment, the said seven years to in
clude the time Brannum has been
held in the penitentiary." The sus-
pended sentence was worded as fol-
lows: Suspend the fulillment Of the
,o;,dor of tho centance of David
Brannum. during good behavior, the
governor to solely determine the COM
pliance or noncompliance with the
above stipulation. The State, Sat-
urday.
