Thursday, August 10, 1899,
Governor McSweeney is to be commended
for his action in refusing to
pardon W. F. Pons, who was convicted
of bigamy in Barnwell county.
The Judge and Solicitor recommended
the pardon, but the Governor
had au opinion of his own
about the matter, and very properly
refused the application. We are glad
that he has shown the lawyers that
he is not going to be governed by
long petitions in the matter of pardons.
This power has been exercised
too freely by our executives, and
much barm has resulted from it.
* *
*
Governor McSweeney has had a
number of applications for pardons
since he went into office, and in
most cases he has wisely refused to
grant them. A move in the right
direction, and one that will win for
him many friends. This thing of
signing any petition for a pardon
is too common, many people affixing
their signatures to such papers
without knowing or inquiring any
thing about the guilt or innocence
of the party for whom a pardon is
wanted. Go ahead along the same
line, Governor. You are right,

The Horse, to quote the Devil's j

Printer scumbled down from his
high seat and took an inventory of:
the damage that had been done, the
brute was slumbering as peacefully
a? a little babe upon its mothers
breast.
The Printer examined the parted
traces, which were of very rotten
leather, and surveyed the fractured
single-tree, which was of very brit-1
tie ash wood. The Devil kicked his
i heels against the dashboaid and:
shrilly hummed the refrain of that
; old-time song, "Wait for the Wagon." |
The Printer tished a very dull
and rusty knife from his pocket and
made an at tempi at repairing the
damage. He is not much of a
Worker in Leather, however, and lie
met with exactly the success which

sy tool in the sandy road, and sa:d
things that would not look well in
print. The Devil grinned, finally
suggesting:
"Dat's right, Specks?spit her
out. Ver'll feel better fer it."
The Printer stopped suddenly,
and savagely wondered if the Knife
would enable him to rid % the world
of the
PESTIFEROUS LITTLE DEMON.
It looked as though they were not
likely soon to reach the Dark Diver,
in the liquid depths of which he
had determined to plunge his sar1
uonic traveling companion, and it
seemed to him that the world was
altogether too small for the pair to
dwell together in. It was sometime
before he found the Knife, and
when he finally did and rose with
-the Rusty Weapon clutched firmly
! in his hand, the Devil suddenly
otAnno/i Lie virlinnlmis humming" and
| Oi\.'?S?SW\? n remarked
;
j "I reckin ef we bed a pajro' trace
; chains we'd be able ter patch up ole
j Graveyard's harness, hey?"
The Printer admitted that pos>
session of the articles mentioned
would render such an event possible,
and the Devil scrambled to the
,1 ground with great nimbleness. The
Printer closed the rusty-big,Jed
I knife with a snap, and dropped it
( back into his pocket, out of the way
r of temptation.
"I know a feller that lives back
> here 'bout half a mile," continued
the Devil, waving his pudgy hand
down?or up?the road, "An' ef yer
? don't mind stayin' here by yerse'f,
I'll go back, roust him out, an' borry
| a pair."
"Devil," cried the Printer, with
great fervency, "You're an?an?
Angel of Light; The trace chainwill
prove our salvation."
"All right, den. I'll hev 'em here
d'rectly," was the Dev?I beg his
, pardon, Angel's answer, and thrust
ing his hands deep into the pockets
of his knickerbockers lie trudged off
along the sandy road whistling a
merry tune. The Printer leaned up
against the Black Wagon, and
watched his diminutive companion
until his little legs
"WHISKED HIS SMALL BODY
into the biack shadows of the early
, morn, and the only token of his
> existence was the shrill echo of his
whistle, which awoke a mockingbird
in a big oak tree beside the
road, and encouraged t lie songster to
burst into a* flood of melody, so en;
trancingly sweet that tears actually
came to the Printer's eyes, and
dimmed the glasses of his spectacles.
All his rancorous hatred, of the
; Devil vanished, and the murderous
thoughts connected with the Demon
which had been cankering in liis
r mind since the day previous, faded
i into nothingness. Ho remembered
- many little kindly ^icts which the
5 Devil had performed for him in the
5 pasr, and these recollections ren)
dered his remorse quite lachrymose
and sloppy, and caused bis mind to
drift back across the barren wastes
of Time to his own childhood and
[ mischievous Devildom in the Art

eaco and innocence and purity and
;oodness as when the same stars that
iow twinkled abov</the thoughtful.
Vinters head, first looked down
ipoll this now old Mother Earth,
hen a new world fresh from the
narvclous hand of God. Presently,
lowever, as the Printer sal there in
leep and soulful meditation on the
*reat mysteries of Lite and Death, a
rooster in a distant farmyard, broke
:he stillness with his defiant clarion,
The cartel was taken up and
Answered by other chanticleers; the
iwakened birds began to cnirp ana i
twitter ; there was a hum and drone j
of insect life; t.he mockingbird
sung its niatitudinal orison; the
slumbering Horse awoke Avitli a
snort of delight at being still at a
standstill, and then turned Her
head to mournfully regard the Black
Wagon j even the leaves in the big
oak tree began to rustle and whisper
to themselves, and the Printer,
raising his head, saw that the brightness
of the stars had faded out,
dimmed by that
GREATER PLANETARY GLORY
which was about to burst upon the
world. Dawn was approaching, and
a New Day was just struggling into
life.
Adown the road the printer
heard the musical clink, clinkity,
clink, clink, of the trace chains,
and presently the tiny form of the
Devil hove in sight, staggering
along through the deep sand with a
Luscious Watermelon hugged close
* "* *? - ? X
to his fraii body, ana tne trace
chains dangling about his neck?
the ends trailing along in the sand
and cutting two sinuous furrows
like the parallel trails of crawling
serpents.
"S-a-a-y!" panted the Demon,
laying the melon very tenderly at
tlie Printer's feet, and throwing of
the trace chains. "J)at wnz a hot
ole tole as sure's yore born. Wuz 1
gone long, Specks?"
"It seemed an eternity of waiting,"
answered the Printer, adding, with
a strange tenderness, born of his
late reflections, in his voice. "It
was awfully good of you to go back
all that distance in the darkness to
get these welcome chains."
"O, der chains warn't nuthin," he
answered, f'Der melon wuz what
boddered me. I spotted it when \ye
druv past, an' I wuz glad der ole
traces busted so's I cVd go back
an' swipe it."
"Devil!" admonished the Printer
sternly. "It was very wrong of you
to steal this melon, but then?" as
a sudden recollection of bis own
boyhood days flashed across his
mind, "I suppose as long as it is
here we had better eat it.'"Bet
yer life!'' was the answer,
and the Devil began to plunk the
melon with his knuckles in joyous
- - ta /iaim! nrr

THE RINDS ALONE REMAINED.
So the Printer produced his rusty
knife, and they split the melon?
which was dead ripe and deliriously
juicy?and buried their faces in the
cool, crisp red meat. The sun was
just rising when they finished their
repast. All that remained of the
melon was the rinds.
drawled the Devil, as
he wiped his mouth on the sleeve of
his jacket. "Dat wuz bully, an' no
mistake!"
Then he gathered up one of the
trace chains, and he and the Printer
geared the Horse securely to the
cross bar of the -black shafts. He
wns so actively helpful that the
Printer (mayhap recollections of the
melon had something to do with it)
felt really tender in his heart toward
the Familiar, and when they
had mounted to their seats and the
Horse had been induced to continue
the journey, lie laid his hand upon
the boy's shoulder and declared, in
his most fatherly tone:
"Devil, 1 have evidently mis
judged you in the Past. You are a
Hood Boy, and your kindness really
melts me."
"Der sun'll do wuSs en dat afore
we git ter Orangeburg," was tIn*
somewhat irrelevant response, "Pis

"JJevil I" interrupted me muter
.sharply. "Out. of my tenderness of
heart toward you I was about to
soften your name into Diavolo; but
you don't deserve it."'
"Oli, s-a a-y now, kum olf," was
the sullen answer. "I don't wanter
hear no preach in !"
And the Printer sighed, and in
his despair at not being able to do
anything?morally speaking?with a
creature *o utterly irreclaimable to
ordinary goodness, took another pull
at the jug <>f?artesian water.

being a vast improvement over the
old thoroughfare, for it is high and

trille rough and hunmiocky), and.
crossing the Kdisto river, were on
the soil of a foreign county.
The Orangeburg roads are not the
best in the world, and the Bosses'Fast
Horse was pa'nruliy slow. As they
proceeded, the Sun, growing hotter
ev-.-ry minute, climbed steadily up
the eastern slope of heaven's dome,
and the Printer made fr queiit hut
ineffectual thirst-assuaging requisitions
up >n the jug of?artesian water.
It was haif past nine o'clock
when they entered the suburbs of
Orangeburg I'iiy, anil had '.he
Horse nearly frightened into ? Fast

cars which ply up)ii the street

how the Forms had withstood the

charge of the Fa.it ilorse and the
Black "Wagon, but the latter had
immediately deserted his post and
was devouring with greedy eyes the
photographs of some rather scantily
dressed "cigarette girls" in the window
of a cigar store 011 the other
side of the street.
The Ilorse, left to Herself, and
no doubt remembering Her Owner's
parting injunction about the "twelve
ears of corn, and all the hay and

straight toward the open doors of u

A Letter From Dr. Drown.
j Mr. Editor:?Will it surprise
you if I keep my proni'se ? Be thou
I then surprised.
It gives me unbounded pleasure
! to be able to state that Sumter is
still here. Your going away?your
liegira, so to speak?gave us quite a
shock, and for a time things were
confused and unsettled; but reaction
has set in, and the wheels of
empire now work without a jar.
The dispensary is still opened daily,
the mayor keeps up his diurnal
matinee, the bank collectors still
oppress the poor, and all things remain
as they were from the foundation
of the world. In fact, things
are a little more so than they used
to be. Our city fathers are paving
Main street with rocks and stones,
some of our citizens are erecting
new homes, and the big cotton compress
plant is occupying the whole
! lower end of the city. Kailroad
tracks belt us in on all sides, and a
man cannot now get out of Sumter
with ease without running over a
freight engine and a string of cars.
They tell me this is a sign of enter
prise. I guess it must be so. If the
Filipinos ever attack this town, we
can easily surround it with freight
trains, and so construct^ barricade
against the swarthy foe,
I still pay my visits to the "place
from which you went out from."
The vase is broken, but the scent of
the roses and other things hangs
around it still. The "other things"
I need not name in this communication.
.Vou will recall them in hours
of silent meditation. Your old
place is now occupied by a new man.
lie is somewhat an improvement on
the old order of things, and wears
his honors gracefully. Y?Ur little
brother >yilh the sweet auburn hair
still roams the streets daily, playing
with the boys and eating too much
dirt, I think'. I have tearfully admonished
him against this evil
practice; but all to no avail. "Dry
Joe" has gone into mourning since
you left, and declares that he is lamenting
your early demise. I am
sure he thinks you are dead. You
may rejoice to know ch^t there are
teai-s here over your early grave.
I am strongly thinking of becoming
an adjunct editor of some county
paper, and here and now I offer
my services to you. I am certain I
can furnish the reading matter in

expend my genius for nothing.
Even uow, as you know by a sad experience,
there is too much unrewarded
genius in this sublunary
sphere. I cannot afford to aid and
abet in the crushing out of the main
forces of the world. I am willing
to furnish any amount of genius, if
you, or some other editor with less
sense, will furnish the due and constant
reward, Please put this notice
in some prominent place in your paper,
and authorize those in need to
draw 02 nip for all they can use.
You must be diligent to maintain
an upright walk in your new home.
Bamberg used to be a part of Barnwell,
and Barnwell, in my younger
days, was the hub of the world. I can
remember the time when I felt like
shedding tears whenever I saw a man
who did not live in the county of
Barnwell, In those days, there
weie none others than "first families"
in all that section. Every man
was a nobleman, and every woman a
princess. The boys, also, were all
blue-blooded, and could sow down
more devilment to tils acre thou

them are in the pulpits, some in the

jails. But their bioou was bine, and
