Blease Is Right.
Governor Blease has no doubt
pardoned some convicts who
should not have been pardoned;
'but he certainly pardoned others
who were undergoing cruel or
unjust nunishnient. If we are
not in error, he pardoned a ne
.gro who had served seventeen
months on a five-year sentence
for stealing a cow.
It is stated that he pardoned a
negro who had been sentenced
to hard labor for years for
"stealing $7 from a blind man."
It is not stated where the learn
ed judge found law against
"4stealing $7 from a blind man."
As far as we know there is no
such-law.
And he pardoned John Black,
who had been convicted of some
participation with the state in
some of its whisky transactions.
As a rule, we believe, the prin
cipal in a crime, says the Abbe
ville Press and Banner, is
equally guilty with the agent.
The state hasn't been convicted.
We believe the state, through
its officers or agents, was the
chief conspirator, and yet only
its agents are prosecuted. Is
the state of South Carolina more
honest than its agents or part
Joust
The Macon Telegraph is right
after the Hartwell Sin for say
ing that the Tlegraph used the
word "thri" in one of its arti

a la Roosevelt, has about played
out, and if it hiisn't it ought to.
-Athens Banner. Still, some
of omy best educated folks can't
get "thru" their compositions
any other way, jocosely (?) re
imarks the Augusta Chronicle.
Considerable talk has been
indulged in to the effect that
Blease wants more power. His
enemies are very jealous of the
governor's power, but if what
ever adlditional power is given
him be used in the interest of
the people, we don't belIeve that
the people will care how much
power the governor has. As be
tween Blease' s power, used in
behalf of the people, and that
same power lodged wvith the
legislature, and used against the
people, it is easy to guess which
the "common" people would
Can One Person be Guilty of Con.
spiracy?
John Black, who was convict
ed at Chester, on the charge of
having conspired wvith others to
defraud the state, and sentenced
to-serve in the penitentiary for a
period of five years, pending ap.
peal, has had his sentence com
muted to pay a fine of $2,000.
We expect to see a great fuss
kicked up by the newspapers
about the action of the governor
in this case, but when we take
-Into consideration the facts that
the same jury which convicted
Black acquitted the pai-ties in
dicted with him, one, of whom
was a citizen of Chester, it has
the appearance that Black was
made a scapegoat of, and con
victed to gratify a certain
elamor.
There is 1no doubt the state
was pilfered, and punishment
'should have overtaken the culi
prits, but we never did think it
fair to convict Black, and let the
-men go free Wvhom it is chaiged
he conspired with to swindle the
state.
There is one thing sure, if
Black did the things he was
charged and convicted of, he
couldsnot have conspired with
-himself, for to 'engage in a con
person.
The other members of the Ois
pensarT boaled, and a liquor
agent whose home is at the
place of trial,' were charged
along with Black, yet Black was i
convicted and the others came
off with certificates of good
character.
Black may be as guilty as the
jury said, but it is impossible for
him to be guilty by himself,
therefore if the other conspirit
ors must be set free with a dec
laration of.innocence, th,' the
state ought not complairn at
having to accept a fine from the
man whose misfortune was to
have been, selected for punish
ment -Manning Times.
City Election,
Last week the political situa
tion in Pickens was perturbed
somewhat, when opposition was
suddenly manifested to a ticket
that was suggested, and before
"nominations" closed there were
four distinct tickets in the field
for aldermen, wiih only two
candidates for the mayor's
place. Saturday evening repre
sentatives of all tickets got to
gether and agreed to just use
one ticket with the names of all
candidates thereon, and after
eliminating the doublets for
aldermanic honors, the ticket
was agreed on and voted for as
follows:
FOR MAYOR.
J. I. Ashmore.....41
Sam B. Craig......74
FOR ALDERMEN:
J. N. Hallum......70
L. F. Robinson.........48
J. P. Hyde............43
C. E. Robinson.........52
Wayne Mauldin........59
Jas. M. Gantt.........76
J, L. Valley....... ......77
G. R. Hendricks,.......70
R. L. Hames......80
W. T. Jeanes.........23
J. F. Harris........29
M. C. Smith........43
There were 115 votes cast.
There are six aldermen, and
the six getting the highest
number of votes cast were de
clared to be elected. There were
some mighty good men defeat
ed and the personnel of the
ticket elected1 is good1 and every
body appears satisfied with the
result.
It is up to the new council to
give Pickens a safe, conservative
and business administration and
to push the old town forward.
It is in Rood shape financially,
and can be kept that way under
an economical administoation,
which, wve believe, these repre
sentative citizens will give.

A Taxiess Town
Here is an article from the
knsonIa (Conn.) Evening Sen
:Inel, which is as suggestive to
spartanburg as it is to any other
)lace:
"A news report states that
F'armington, Maine, finds it un
iecessarv to levy any taxes this
rear, and has accordingly voted
;o skip that ordeal. 'This highly
prosperous state of municipal
affairs is said to have b'Wen
brought about through the-city's
3ystem of waterworks, which
have proved great money earn
ers. Considering that some
twenty-five years or more ago
Farmington was fire-swept and
its entire business section wiped
out and its churches, banks,
county jail and private enter
prises swallowed by the flames,
its present achievement in-pros
perity is surprising.
"It suggests the possibility of
so adjusting municipal affairs
that a city may not only do
away occasionally with taxa
tion, but all of the time, and
pay dividends into the bargain.
That is, not only have its water
works pay dividends, but its
ligting and heating plants; make
its public franchises pay all they
are worth; make street railways
which occupy the middle of the
streets-the most valuable land
in the town-pay handsomely
for the privilege; make tele
phone and telegraph companies
pay adequately for stringing
overhead or underground wires.
In short, apply the principle of
private business to public enter
prise. Under such changes as
these, would it be impossible to
have a diyidend-paying city?
"The idea, of course, is com
munistic, and the public-in the
long run would pay the bills,
but in these days of tax-ridden,
debt-burdened cities, is it any
wonder a man casts about him
for a way out? We would like
to hear more about the road
Farmington,- Maine, his trav
eled; in order to arrive at a ypar
of no taxation."
This is no joke. It can be and
ought to be done. The people
of every town and city have a
right to expect to see it done.
It is entirely practicable .to have
a "taxless town." But it can
only be done by using and sell
ing what is -now thrown away,
