Sheriff Corley Serves Notice on Managers?Result of Strong Moral Sentiment. The two social clubs of Lexington must close their places of business at 11:30 o'clock on Saturday night and remain closed until 6 o'clock Monday morning, or be closed up permanently, if the mandate of the sheriff is to be obeyed. Sheriff Corley on Monday served the.following notice on the managers of both clubs: "You will take notice that you are hereby required to not let any whiskey or beer be taken out of your club at any time, and also to close ycur social club every Saturday night at 11:30 o'clock sharpe, and keep the same closed until 6 o'clock Monday morning. "In case you fail to comply with this request it will be my duty as sheriff to swear?out a warrant for vou and have your places of business closed permanently. "P. H. Corley, "Sheriff Lexington County." This action comes as the result of a strong moral sentiment. It is understood that many of the members are in favor of the Sunday observance and the managers, it is thought, will obey the sheriff's order to the letter. Gave Graduate Recital. The State, 13th May. Last evening at the College for Women, Miss Anna Martha Meetze gave her graduate song recital. Miss Meetze is a Lexington girl and is popular both in her home town and in Columbia, a fact evidenced by the large audience. The programme was quite lengthy and unusually diversified, consisting of groups of German, French, Italian and English songs, which were rendered in the original language. Miss Meetze possesses a pleasing voice of clear bird-like quality and sings with an ease and sureDes9 which might be surprising in a singer of far greater experience. Every number on the programme was rendered in a manner highly creditable to the young singer and to her teacher, Miss Bancroft. The audience ex i pressed their appreciation with gen| erous applause and the flowers sent I were exceptionally abundant and beautiful. The programme in full was as follows : "With Verdure Clad'' (Aaydon). "Fruhlingslaube" (Schubert). " "Haiden.Roslein'' (Schubert). "Thy Beaming Eyes" Mac Dowell). "Tell Me" Nevinj. "My Lady" [Kiedlinger). "Sfymphes et Sylvains" (Bamberg). "Solveig's Song" (Grieg). "With a Water Lilly," (Grieg). "Du Bist Wie Eine Blume" (Schumann). "Volksliedsehen" (Schumann). "Le Parlate d'Amour," Faust (Gounod). Mr. Smith Loses Dwelling The neat little home of Mr. G. Olin Smith, at Barr, was totally destroyed by fire about 7 o'ciock Friday evening. All of the contents, including a handsome piano, went up in the flames. It is thought that the fire originated from a defective stove flue. The loss is about $1,500.

In paroling, SaturjajT, S. W. Stockman of Lexington county, who was serving a seven years' sentence from August, 1907, Governor Blease endorsed the petition as follows: "Paroled during good behavior and . oil tne further condition that S. W. [ Stockman do not use intoxicating liquors in any form, and upon the further condition that any breach of the peace on the part of S. W. Stockman will be a forfeiture of this parole and he shall be recommitted to serve the remainder of the sentence. Cole L. Blease, Governor, Columbia, May 13, 1911." An interesting sidelight on the case is a letter from Judge of Probate Geo. S. Drafts of Lexington, who wrote the Governor that he was approached by Jacob Crim and asked to sign a petition for the pardon of Stockman; that again during the election he was approached and Crim told him, "If you do not sign they will fight you in the election." Mr. Drafts writes that he told him "if I had to get any office by signing 9uch a petition I did not want it." He does not think that Stockman 9honld be pardoned. Governor Blease received the following statement about the case from Dr. H. G. Eleazer of Peak: "I was present and heard the evidence in the case of the State against Sam Stockman, an old Confederate soldier who is now wearing the stripes as a result of conviction for killing his son-in-law, Hampton Hartley. Had I been on the jury the verdict would have been different or a mistrial would have resulted. No one asked me to make the request for Stockman's freedom and I do so from a sense of right, formed on the day of his conviction. Should opportunity afford I would 9peak. So I have spoken w7ith all the vim of my honest soul that to continue him in the toils?advanced in age, a Confederate soldier and nagged to desperation to do what he did?is almost stealing from the grave." At the hearing before Governor Blease a few wreeks ago it was brought out that Stockman had been horsewhipped. At the time of the hearing Governor Blease announced that he would reduce the sentence. The pa roling ot Stockman knocks off about five years of the sentence. Unfortunate Difficulty. A very unfortunate difficulty happened at Mooer's pond, few miles out from Swansea, on Friday night, when Mr. Clarence Rucker, one of the larg est farmers in the county, was shot by Barnie Reeder, the weapon used being a Winchester rifle. The bullet, a 44 calibre, penetrated the ? leg below the knee, causing a wound which necessitated amputation. The operation was performed bj-Dr. A. B. Knowlton, the distinguished surgeon of Columbia, assisted by Drs. Brooker, and Mr. Rucker is getting along as well as could be expected. The trouble occured at a fishing party and, it is said that whiskey was the cause of it all. Deputy Sheriff Miller responded to the call with his accustomed promptness. Young Reeder was placed undo* orroof annoaror? hofrvrp TVTftorktrafo Jefcoat, gave bond in the sum of ?1,000 and was released. Both parties are prominent and the unfortunate difficulty is greatly deplored. Lexington County Gaining Lexington county gained in the ten years 4,776?a fine showing for a county without a city and having no town with as many as 2,000 inhabitants. There are abundant signs that Lexington is gaining in prosperity as an agricultural county.?The State. Prayer Meeting.
