Ob, Governor Blease, - Turn me aloose, * - I got no money, Bat a good excuse! ?I'm yoor friend, boss. t . - Governor Blease has withdrawn all papers from the State pardon board, and in the future will pass upon all petitions for pardon without asking nsister anybody. "I do not propose to have a conflict with any of the delegations unless i they recommend men who I know to j be my enemies.'' Thus spoke Goyer- j nor Blease in appointing the Richland county dispensary board, according to a report sent oat from Colombia. B. L. Abney, the well known Colombia lawyer who was employed by the State dispensary commission to help prosecute the alleged grafters, has received ten thousand dollars for hie services so far. We always did fcnow that Ben Abney was a powerful good lawyer., By courtesy of The State we are uble to present to our readers an excellent photograph of the steel bridge at Wyses' fcry. The State is not only a great newspaper, but it delights to accommodate the other papers, who are less fortune te in equipment. We thank The State for its kindness. It is to he r?--retted that ihe cover 4 ' ' nor has ser fit not to commission I' "Col. C. P. r -.ttlebaum, of Conway, to preside <x*r the Hory county court, after be * \ been recommended by v thechmr : istice of the supreme court. This ?

Xow that the free bridge has been tsuilt across the Saluda River there * should be?and there will be?a closer relationship between the people of the two sections. There was much talk of another bridge, with the probabil* ity of a third one, at the big picnic Saturday, and there is going to be such a howl for these bridges that they will be built, and that too before so very long. And this is as it should be. It is a sign tbat our people are not going to be outdone by other connd.1^ -Ll- - .U... W T ucs no more aoie WJ fojuy t-uese ings and privileges than is Lexington. Happily, "onr people have reached the point where they want good roads and \ ' tree bridges and are beginning to re' ^aiize that it cost money to get them. As a result we are going to have both. The supervisor is building roads at a rapid rate, and if the people will learn to have a little patience every road in the county will soon be worked. I is foolish to expect the supervisor to do impossibilities. - He capuot put the chaingaog on all of the roads at the *&2De time. Be patient; the chain^augwiil come your way bye awl bye. Pardon was Refused. ? Bichard Kennedy, of Lexington | ?eonnfcy, colored, who robbed a blind j mm of $3.S0, wa> today refold a j pardon by Gov. Bieaee.

Answer. A poor worthless eanci- | date for charity, who begs to have awl j receive part of the free lunch of this j town, set apart for regular customers, | as many thousand tramps have done j before me; How do vou expect to gain these j j privileges, | By being a man too lazy to work, J i and ashamed to beg, and under the tongue of general bad report. Where can this report be had of you ? In the police reports, inebriate asylums and cafes. Whence cauie you ? From a town in Texas called Booze. Then pou are a regular tramp, I perceive ? I am so taken and arrested wbereever I go. How do yon know you're a regular tramp ? By being often arrested and tried and never acquitted and expect to be arrested, tried and convicted again. Where were you first prepared to be a tramp? .... In a small bar-room adjoining my place ot abode. How were yon then prepared ? By being kicked and caffed around until nearly divested of my clothes, having been previously deprived of all my money and diamonds. 1 What induced you to become a tramp ? That I might travel over the land, indulging my appetite for beer, sponjging my living from the pubic. . How am I to know yon to be a tramp? By the size and laziness of my feet, by the size and color of my nose, and by signs, grips and words. What are the words ! \ Certain plausible tales that will best serve to induce the Iadv of the house to give up her cakes and pies. What are the signs ? Dirty face and hands or torn and dirty clothes. What is the grip ? A tight hold, on anything portable. Will you give me a grip ? No; get on some othe/fellow. How did you first gain admission to ! this town ? By a good long tramp at low twelve, j the time when all oolicemen are ! called from labor to refreshments. How were you received ? By a cop 0:1 tbe point of taking an eye opener. What did he do with you ? He put me in a cooler in due form. | What, was next done with you ? Conducted me around from east to west, to the court house and told to stand erect and face the judge. What did the judge say to you Heboid me to say my name, promise to obey the law, after which he ordered me to 4a1va m />w\ 4/\ In /\ l/vl" a * ^7 f V a va&c <n Deep tu uic iciu duu nuwvv cop to the place from whence I came. The cop then gave me the grip and wished me lnck on my trip; that I may never sleep ou:, go hungry or dry. Heyward County Given New Life. The Heyward county movement was given a new lease on life when Gov. h lease refused to sign the meas Eft*e passed at the last session of the general assembly which was aimed at ill-informed counties. 44 Ju my opinion the act is in conflict with the constitution and I decline to sign the same." This was the telegram addressed by the governor to I). S. Henderson, representing Aiken county and (rw. T. Jackson of Augusta, representing tiie Heyward county movement. The approving ;&f tnc act wonld. have meant a yK?ijraiuiej,t death to Keyward county. It is expected that the attorneys for r the new county movement will forma late another p**lk:o?i tor tin election j on Howard conMy. ? At The Orpheum.
