The daily papers last Sunday norning announced that on the lay before, Gov. Blease granted yardons and paroles (which neans pardoned on condition) o thirty prisoners in the peni ntiarv and jails of the State. From The State, of the 24th, ;he following is taken: "Briefly stated, there were 11 Life prisoners freed. Nine of hese prisoners were convicted Af murder. One was convicted on the charge of burglary and arceny, and the other on the charge of arson. Seven were convicted on the charge of man slaughter, the sentences ranging from 5 to 26years. Several had been convicted on minor charg es, and one was pardoned to re store citizenship. Of the eleven lifetime prison ers, Samuel Reep, the Chester county wife slayer. is the most known. He was convicted in November, 1899, for killing iis young wife while she slept in his home. The case at that time attracted a great deal of attention, and public sentiment was against the man. He has served twelve years of a life term. The parole was granted during good behavior. The governor assumed office January 17, and si.ace that time he has granted clemency in 318 cases-137 pardons and 131 pa paroles. Taking the estimate of statis ticians of $500 for a conviction, this means that the feature of the clemency record has cost South Carolina $158,500. The governor, soon after en tering office, dispensed with the pardon board, and announced that in the future he would- de cide all cases of clemency." Among those pardoned were two from this county-Frank Bailey and W. L. Manly. Frank Bailey was convicted September,, 1886, before Judge Hudson, of burglary and larce ny. .The original record in the Clerk's office could not be found and it is not known whether he is white or colored, or whose house he was charged with hav S urglarized. The Sessions al gives his name, the of charged, the witnesses - ie jury. The witnesses him were, Richmiond Ov. .Mrs. Anna Owens, I. N. Coo~k :Ad W. C. Owens; and he w a tried -the follo wing jury: M. A. Boggs, foreman; T. H. McWhorter, R A. Hester, Sea b'rn Keith, A. J. H. Day, S. P. Freeman,-,J . Clayton, T. ~i~e~~.Norrs,' William ~. endricks and Si las Hinkle. .Bailey was sentenced for life. Manly was convicted at the February term, this year, before Judge Gage, for breaking jail, injurmng public property, and sentenced to 18 months in the penitentiary. He was paroled during good behavior. Reduce the Acreage. The plan which seems to be most popular and feasible to help the farmer out of his pres nt predicament and to prevent a repetition next year, is to re 10''e'~i6 acreage. This plan was adopted a few days ago by a large representative gathering f farmers and business men in New Orleans. Tzie plan, briefly stated is that Earmers all over the South be' asked to reduce their cotton acreage by at least 25 per cent. A pledge to this effect is signed by each farmer. It is proposed to have a county organization in each county which shall take active and immediate steps to ecure the signature of every Earmer to stich a pledge. This is a good plan for present relief, but it will not accomplish permanent benefits unless ad bered to year after year- If the Earmers will reduce their acre age 25 per cent. next year, it will help the price of the present rop, very little of which, how ver, we fear, is in the hands of ~armers. It is certain that )lan will not help those who help most, for they have - The reduction in acreage also help prices next viear,. what about the year. aftfer? she next crop be reduced and prices advance 12 to 14 cents aet fall, will it not stimulate he farmers to increase the fol owing year, and, with reasona ble conditions, bring about the same state of affairs that now 3xist?
