MoSweeny is a kind hearted man. He is honest, and trie 4 to do his duty; hut it is evident that he has a mistaken idea on the subject of granting pardons. Yesterday morning The Herald said that a pardon had been granted to Thackston, of Greenville, the man who was conv icted after slaying his second victim \V? Mi,?u..? -< ? ? -i-i * .. v om hi n l l Li <11 linn CIlkUOI'lllG trials in which all of the evidence is fully presented and fairly commented upon l>v learned counsel for the state and for the defence and an impartial jury has returned a verdictof guiltv, that the man convicted and sentenced, ought to be made to perform the sentence which the court has imposed. When the pardoning power was entrusted to the governor it was never contemlated that lie would allow his symphathies to be worked upon. It was never contemplated that he would exercise this power ! to set aside the verdict of a jury unless evidence was produced made ! There is not the slightest doubt (to show that some mistake had been) in the world as to Kzoll I Thaekston'a guilt. He does not deny it. That being the case, we ask in all seriousness, what right has the Governor to pardon a man who has been duly convicted with no evidence that would tend in the least to arous* a doubt as to the justness of his sentence. The governor of the state ought not to be placed in the position of ^ the piteous of the wives and the daughters and the sisters of those i who have been convicted of crime. It ought not to he possible for the governor If) issue 11 pardon merely ' because being kind hearted he has allowed his sympathies to be work, ed upon. The law ought speed I y k to he changed ? Spartanburg Herald. ( _ wi 1 i The Richland board of control referred to the state board of directors the tpiestion whether | porters could be employed at the dispensaries and paid out of the ^ profits. The state board referred j the matter back to the county board to decide whether porters arc necessary. l ins, of course, means that porters msv be thus employed and paid whenever the hoard of control decides that thov are necessary. The di?pens-iics i f in Columhia have heen employing porters. We suppose their duties are to carry around and deliver liquors. It. will ho necessary only to 'phone or write orders This is a long wav from the original * s hill as it passed the legislature, j' One by one the restrictions are being brushed away, and the liquor truflic is rapidly settling to ,r its normal level. The next step? 1 and for anything we know, this 11 I step has already In on taken will ho for the porters to bring hack ; orders to the dispensaries. From ( this to soliciting orders will h* ! * , i . hut a fraction of a step.
