Can't Use its Convicts
-
Lancaster Abolished Chaingang <
When Supply of Prisoners wan
Small and is Now Not Prepared
to lie establish It.
<
1 Special to News and Courier. I
Lancaster, March 25.?The (
board of county commissioners
met here yesterday for the purpose
of considering the question 4
of re-establishing tho chaingnng, 1
which was abolished a year or so *
ugo for lack of convicts to keep it (
up. Since that lime the occasion 1
ul prisoners sentenced to labor on '
the public works of tho county, '
who wore unable to pay the tine
alternative, havs been hired out
to tho Chester authorities. '
The sentencing by the court this (
week of quite a number of con.
vieted patties to tho chain gang, 1
the most of them for two years, 1
prompledthe commissioners totake 1
up the mutter of putting the sys- *
tern in operation again, using the *
convicts now available as a nucleus 4
i
I hereof. Hut several difficulties |1
confronted the board when it bo..j4
gnu to look into the subject yes--'
terday. *
In the first place, the /act that 4
tho county will have no money 1
this year, which can be used to 1
pay the expenses of maintaining *
a chain gang stared the commissioners
in tho faco. In estimat- *
ing the umount of funds likely to 1
bo needed for this yoar's current *
expenses, no allowance was made '
for operating a chuin gang, and 8
no provision, therefore, was made ^
in the tux levy by tho Legislature ^
for such considerable item of ex- '
pense, which amounted the last '
year the gang was worked in iho *
county, to about $2,400.
In tho second place, the board
finds Hint in ull probability it will
lack something over $2,000 of
making ends meet this year, any- ^
- ay, to say nothing about the ^
chnir.gang business. Tho pros t
pective deficit is duo to the fact *
that the Legislature ut its last *
session made an increase in the *
e
salaries of the county officers und
m igistrates amounting altogether
to $1,250 but made no provision
for tho payment of such in
crease by raising the county levy,
and to the further fact that the ^
expenses of the Skipper trial will e
exceed by something like $ 1,000, s
its estimated cost. C
With these facts before them u
the commissioners, at their meet- j
iog yesterday, had about conciud- t
ed not to establish the chain gang r
again, hut to continue to hire the r
convicts to Chester, when, upon .
calling up tho Chester supervisor
over tho phone, they learned that
it was very doubtful whether that *
county could use any more of 1
Lancaster's convicts. Tho board, [
therefore, adiourned without tak
ing any action in ttio matter.
Other counties will be written to e
at once, with the view of placing
the convicts elsewhere. In the y
meantime they will be put to
work on one of the public roads
near town, commencing Monday
morning.

An Unknown Man Died in My*- (_
teroui, Manner. Sl
Spartanburg, March 28.?A
white man, about 35 or 40 years a
of age, died under peculiar circnmstanccs
before doylight this it
morning in the lodging apurtments L
of Mr Morris' building on Mag- "
nolia street. His name is D. L
Pesotta or D. Pixotto, according t?
to the information at hand, which
is meagio. He was engaged in (i
the picture enlarging business. *
Yesterday he drank excessively h
throughout the day, and about 4 e:
o'clock left his lodging place to ti
walk up street. He returned in P
the evening with a black bruise ?
over his left eye, and in stumb- C(
ling in the piazza of the building a<
to go up the stairway to his room,
fell backward, bleeding at the
ears, mouth and wound over the ^
eye. He lingered in thie uncon- D(
scious condition for hours, receiv- v<
ing medical attention, and died ^
about 3 o'clock this morning.
At the inquest held today, witnesses
testified that on returning 8(
from town Pixotto told them he

about some money and a portrait
and that the man struck bim in
the face Tho verdict was that
bis death was due to concussion of |
tho brain, which might have been
caused either by a blow near the
left eye or a fall. The mystery <
is who struck the blow, or bow
was the man injured. A supposition
is that he was staggering
drunk and fell on the cement pav- i
ing before reaching his lodging *
house, the hard cement cutting the
bruise near tbe eye.

Death of Miss Mildred Lee.
Officially Announced by Gen.

tephon D. Leo, commanding the
Inited Confederate Veterans, islied
the following orders today:
"A feeling of sorrow, deep
nd profound, will enter every
autbern home this mornig when
, is learned that Miss Mildred
jee, the youngest child of our
nmortal chieftain, Robert E.
?ee, died suddenly in this citr yessrday.
' Gifted by nature v?ith a wonerful
mind, the liberal education
rbich her idolized father gave
er, improved and broadened by
xtensive travel and close observaon,
set her apart as an ideal reresentuti/o
of the womanhood
t the south, and her queenly and
Biirteous bearing called for the
jmiration of all who were so formate
as to know her. She was
Bvoted to the old Boldiers of the
onfederate armies, and was
Bver so nappy as when in con*
arsation with one of them, or
liking to others of the glorious
Beds of our boys. Her untimely

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine
has been so successful in
curing these brain-wrecking
diseases that there is every
reason to believe that even the
most hopeless cases can be
benefited, if not fully restored.
We will be pleased to refer
any one thus afflicted to many
who now en)oy the blessing of
health, after years of hopeless
suffering.
"I have a eon that had brain fever
when two years old, followed by fits of
the worst type, and he was pronounced
Incurable. I spent hundreds of dollars
for him. without reUef. After about
Afteen years he became so bad that we
sent him to Lonicllff hospital for the
insane, at Loaansport, lnd. He was
there nearly three years, but he continued
to grow worse, so we brought
him home July SO. 1902, in an awful
condition. He had lost his mind almost
entirely. He hardly knew one of the
family; could mot even Had his bed;
was a total wreck. He had from ft to
10 fits a day. We were urged to try
Dr. Miles' Nervine, and before the first
bottle was used, we could see a change
for the better. We bave given It to
mm ever Bince, ana ne bu baa but
two very light spells since last August,
1903, and then ne was not well other
ways. We pronounoe him cured, as he
can work and go anywhere. It any one
wishes to ask any questions concerning
this, they are at liberty to do so."
