Zt'iimh Moblej Pardoned o On receiving the following lettor from Judge Watts on Thnrs- P day Gov. McSwceney, pardoned Zunnah Mobloy, u nogro sentenced to life imprisonment from this countv in 1894. The letter ex plains why the pardon should have been granted: Lancaster, S. C., March 95, 1902. E Hon. M. B. McSwceney, Governor of South GSarolina?Dear Sir; At the March term of Court ^ for this county iu 1894 one Zannah Mobley was convicted of com- ^ mon law buiglary and sentenced ^ by me to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. There was no * doubt but what he broke into a ^ dwelling house, but the occupants were all absent from the house h< two or three clays, and while they w were absent the home was broken O in, but there was seme doubt as l< to whether it was broken into in the night time. Uotb the solicitor ni and myself were greatly surprised w that the jury did hot recommend w him te mercy, so 1 ceuld hare some dircretion in sentencing hire w for a term ef years, not less than live. So the solicitor said when te he had served seven or eight h< he would recommend his pardon flj asd 1 agreed te recommend it al w so. Unfortunately the theu aolic- w itor, the Hon. M. J. Hough, died |e 1 believe in ltyh, and nothing qV has been done. 1 happened to w remember my promise and new write and earnestly request your Excellency to pardon him. He ? had no lawyer and seemed friendleas. 1 write this letter in the interest of rnercv and justice and ()j to carry out an agreement made ^ with my old and respected friend, ^ Solicitor Hough. Yours truly, ^ R. C. Watts. l)( [For The Ledger, b Tribute te Mr. O. Floyd trow a Comrade in War. c' h Mr. Iditor: - Kindly give we ^ space in your valuable paper for u a short tribute to tne memory of my esteemed friend and brother 81 soldier of the Confederate army, w Mr. O. Floyd, who peacefully fell b on sleep last Saturday night, about 10 o'clock. He was one w of the purest, and one of the tl moat popular citizens who ever b lived in Kershaw. As a demon- c stratien of this fact, he was chosen 11 the first Intendent of the town, h and, cenld have been the last had v he dsired. He never aspired to tt any oifice but, with great re- v luctance yielded to the wishes of v his friends, and was elected, and ii re-elected every time, without \ opposition. 1 have known him b 45 years. I knew him as a fine v boot maker; I knew him as a c private citizen and farmer; i knew ( him as a Confederate soldier, and c a better one was not in Co. C, t "Hampton" Legion, Gary's f Cavalry Brigade, of which we I both wore members. He never a had an , enemy in the cempauy ii and the officers ef the company c all held bins in highest esteem, a Mr. Floyd'e horse was shot from p under him, while gallantly per- t 1 forming his duty as courier to t Col. Logan, in the battle at Kid- ? ley's shops, in old Virginia, pretty soon after he lost his fine aiVmal, the Colonel roceived a 1 very painful wound in the shoul. i der, and he and Mr. Floyd had to retire from the battle field?one with a painful wound, and the other without a horse. Mr. Floyd's death leaves living 1 only three members of the com- j panv, viz: Messrs. Richard Robinson, C. O. Horton and W. S. (J Horton. He was a good husband, u kind father, and a citizen whose place j will not be filled soon in the town f Kershaw. Now, for his fnmily I would ray that He who doth the ravens *ed, unci providently enters for 10 sparrow, may console and aujfurt them. A brother soldier, C C.

Of all the mysterious things rnt God does for us in this world io lutung or u motner away from homo of little children is the one ling hardest to comprehend. The subject of this writing had ?urt disease for some time, but as able to be up and walk some, n the night of the 7th of March, )02, she went to bed seomiugly i well as usual.
