Jailor Xorris With Dustcloth in Hand Has Wrought Wonder?. Tho public ear has been so tortured by accounts of a pestiferous condi? tion of affairs at the jail that it will na doubt be a positive relief to have a favorable report from a represent? ative of the Civic League, who has re? cently inspected the institution. The hour was early in the day, Monday, nevertheless, the building and premises would not have suffer? ed in a comparison with others in the city. Jailor Norris, dustcloth in '.'and, and filled with just pride at the as? pect of his domain, assisted the health officer in showing the visitor around. The air was redolent of dis? infectants and there was abundant evidence of the unstinted use of soap and water. A judicious touch of paint had done wonders. A garnishing of lime had been bestowed wherever needed. Cobwebs had been swept down and rubbish carted off-every? thing was putting its best foot fore? most; even a discarded stove in the backyard made a pathetic appeal for approval by a brave display of pol? ish. The dismal tone' in the picture being the poor wretch Henderson, who lay huddled in his bed clothes. It may not be amiss to remark since it is so sadly lacking, that whatever thre is of aid and comfort in religion should find its fullest scope inside a prison's wall. v Also, that the occa? sional bestowal of a little reading matter could not be construed into a desire to make things unduly pleas? ant for the erring. Civic League. JOHN HENDERSON RESPITED. Reprieve Granted the Condemned Man Until His Counsel Can Appear Before the Board of Pardons. Thursday in the county jail, John Henderson gratefully received the news that Governor Heyward had fa? vorably considered his petition for a commutation of sentence, recently presented by his counsel, Geo" D. Levy, Esq., and that he had been res? pited until January 18th, 1907, in.or? der that his counsel might have an opportunity to appear before the Board of Pardons, and lay before that body the grounds upon which the commutation of sentence from death to imprisonment is asked. Kicked by His Horse. Bishopville, Nov. 30.-Mr. John Tallon of Lynchburg happened to a very bad accident while in town to? day, in that he was kicked by his horse and struck in the face.

Medical attention was immediately given the young man and he is now resting as weil as could be expected under the circumstances at the home of his uncle, J. B. Tallon.
