Petitions asking for clemency on behalf of 0 W Morse, ice king and l>ank wrecker, are being sent - -to all the banks in the South by friends of the convicted man. It is true that Southern people are softhearted and easily taken in by Yankee sharps, hut it is difficult to imagine what excuse the." promoters of the pardon scheme could offer a fair-minded, law-respecting citizen for signing the petition, if he were at "all conversant with the facts of the case, as we reeail them. One of the philanthropic feats of the amiable Morse, if we re member aright, was to send ships up the Hudson river in winter to destroy the ice, in order to force i prices up in the summer, causing the poor fever-stricken children of New York's "East Side" to perish like Hits for lack of ice. . This high-handed act caused some adverse criticism at the time, hut people have short memories. Ice-king, bank wrecker and l>oodIer, Morse, defiant to the last in the face of justice, crawls and whines and cries "persecution," now that he is getting some of the punishment that has so well earned.

We hope that the report is true. Long enough time the Government has allowed the Postoffice department to compete with job printers throughout the coun try, practically putting many of them out of business so far as printing envelopes is concerned. It seems to us trtiat the Government has no more right to print stamped envelopes than it has to sell hardware or hats or shoes or any other article of merchandise in competition with private individuals, In this age of aviation the hackneyed term "sky pilot" obtains a new significance. Already the politicians arc wrangling over the spoils of office in the baby county of Dillon. A citizen v f the new county, in a letter to Attorney General Lyon, characterizes the recent primary election as "one of thev dirtiest ever held in the State," and alleges that lx)th liquor and money were freely used. These are serious charges and if founded on fact there may be a shaking up among the politicians rivaling the Senatorial inquisition in Mississippi. You never can tell what the "Atlanta spirit" will move denizens of that progressive "burg" to do next. Recently* two deacons of a fashionable Atlanta church advertised that a prize fght would l>e pulled off in the pulpit on a certain Sunday night. A tremendous crowd gathered to witness the l>out and sure enough the two deacons took their positions on the rostrum and sparred several rounds in true Marquis of Queensbury style, boxing gloves and all. They then announced from the pulpit that the contest was an advertising scheme to attract a crowd to the church! Saved From Ifts Grave.

Andrews, April 11:?Our city fathers have bought for the town of Andrews two fire machines, onefor East Andrews and one for West End; also we have our little town beautifully lighted.

The severe drouth still prevails in this section. Our farmers are despondent over this condition and fears are expressed on every hand of not being able to get the crops up. An old and respected negro, Aaron Jones,died near town on March 28. Ola' Daddy Aaron,"was well thought of by white and colored neighbors alike. He was a true and tried Democrat all of his life, having voted and stood by his party in the trying days oiMS76. He was always looked upon as hard working, honest and upright in all his dealings. This old negro left considerable property, which shows that the colored race can live hrere and be respected, as their leader, Booker Washington,has advised them in several of his addresses. Mrs u yy narreison is sun very ill here in town. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in this hour of trouble.
