HARVEY TO GRANT
HIS FIRST PAROLE
ANNOUNCES HIS INTENTION SO
THAT BOTH SIDES CAN
BE HEARD.

Governor Harvey on Monday an
nounced his intention to parole Ben
ME Carlos of Kershaw county, the
clemency to be extended Saturday
The chief magistrate made public his
intention in order that any opposi-
ton against such action may be
brought to his attention and anyone
wishing to fight the proposed parole
may have chance to do so.
Bennie Carlos, a Is year old negro
boy, was convicted of involuntary
manslaughter and sentenced by Judge
Bowman to serve two years, the least
possible time under the law. The
sentence was in November, 1921
Carlos killed Edward Brown, a cousin
about the same age as himself. Ihe
two boys were playing in the house
when the gun fired, killing Brown
Carlos said the gun had been acei-
dentally discharged and members OF
the family testified that Brown, be-
fore dying, corroborated this state
ment.
The family of Carlos appears to be
respectable, according to reports
reaching the governor, only the high
est testimonials being made in be-
half of the family.
The petition for the pardon was
recommended by the pardon board
Solicitor Spigner and Judge Bowman
It is said that the conviction was
largely on circumstantial evidence
and was due to a certain extent to
punish the young negro for careless
~ handling the gun. No criminality
appeared to be in the intent ofCarios
according to information furnished
the governor.
Carlos will be the first person te
receive a parole or pardon at the
hands of Governor Harvey since he
became governor May 20.
The governor has not been impor'
tuned by any lawyer in the case
which only came before him in the
shape of the written record and the
petition. The governor is of the
opinion that this is a case where, un
der ordinary circumstances, Carlo:
may have gotten off on the charge Of
accident and that his punishment fol-
nine months taken into consideration
with the youth and his past gooe
reputation, is ample. There may be
some circumstances which have moi
been brought to the governors at
tention and he is therefore giving
this advance notice of his purpose
in order that such opposition may
develop, if there is any opposition

THE RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT
OR MIGHTY, BUT TO THE PLODDERS
WHO is PERSISTENT AND DETERMINED WILL WIN
MANY OF THE BONUS CREDITS GIVEN THIS WEEK FOR
TWENTY.ONE DOLLARS IN BUSINESS.

Candidates in The County Record
Salesmanship Club are reminded OF
the timeworn story of the tortoise
and the hare. They will recall the
fact that Mr.. Hare got great start
and soon outdistanced Mr.. Tortoise
then he laid himself down to rest.
And Mr.. Tortoise? Well, he LOOK
ed back only when his foot was well
planted on the goal.
In a campaign of any kind, as in
a subscription campaign, it is not the
Brilliant Worker who will win; it is
the Plodder, the one who devotes
some time and thought and energy
every day to the rolling up of credits,
rather than those who Work One Day
and Rest the other six.
Some of the workers in this cam
paign Are Plodding. They do not
flat5er themselves that they have
enough Credits already to make them
selves winners, for they know that
they haven't. They do not think that
twice or three times the number they
have will be enough, for they know
they will not be. Therefore they
are not taking a chance of losing the
award they most want by letting up
for a moment, but are taxing advan-
tage OF the Bonus Credits we are
giving each week, and in all ikeli-
hood through this persistency will
make themselves Winners.
Some of the candidates, however,
are resting and have forgotten that
this week we are giving another Bon
US Credit. From August Is until
August 81, we will give 100000 Bon
us Credits for each S21.00 worth OF
business reported Candidates who
are bent on winning will earn many
of these credits.
They will also strive earnestly for
the Cash Award of $500 that will go
next week to the best worker.
The cash awarded on Tuesday OF
this week was earned by Mrs. j. L.
Minis of Kingstree, Rt. 2.
knd all, the hares and the tortoises
alike, are reminded that these Bonus
Credits that make Winners are rapid
ly decreasing in value and they are
being earned Now, by the Plodders,
these who want them most.
