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)(

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.

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. Waking at midght,
speaking a few words, she
eut calmly to sleep again, and
bat was the sorrow aud anguish
! her loving husband to find,
hen he awoke next morning, her
mr form cold in death. Her
ndor heart had ceased to throb,
ir faithful spirit had taken its
ght to its homo beyond the stars
bile her family slumbered. No

saves a devoted husband and

Never was there a more loving
dfe nor a more tender mother
ian sho. Her remains were
uried at Liberty Hill Baptist
hurch on the evening of the 2th
ist., in the presence of about two
mndred people. Surely, there
Fas never a more pathetic scene
han that sorrowing husband,
ritb his little children around him
reeping, as the clods were coverQg
their deaiest one from sight.
