On leaving our home at "White Rock we promised legions of friends that we would let them hear from us. For the first, at least, we will ask the kind indulgence of the editor. With William and Horace, we left Alston on the 30th of March. Mrs. Lizzie Stone, who had been visiting her people in Spring Hill during the winter, was on the train with her children. Our trip took us by A6heville, N. C, MorristowD, Tenn., Mrs. Stone's home, and Bristol, Tenn.

Many of you have seen the country to Asheville and know the fine scenery of the mountains. From here on to Horristown, the scenery is in many respects wonderful. To construct a railroad through such mountains was a remarkable feat. Our train wound arouDd and across the French Broad river with the rough, rugged mountains towering almost over our heads. The river was clear as crystal and the mountains seemed to bend over to see that our dashing train did not hurt the placid stream. Unfortunately, Human greed is fast defacing nature's landscape of beauty, and on every mountain the beautiful forestry is beiog destroyed. Every now and then you pass a little saw mill and you 6ee logs being rolled down the mountains. Our country may pay for this in great freshets and dry seasons. The Pacolefc flood is an illustration of the one, and the Russian famine of some fifteen years ago illustrates the other. Well, we reached our new home in Rural Retreat on Thursday about 10:30 a. m , right side up with care. Many kind people met us at the iraic, aDd we soon felt that we were in the hands of friends. The rest of the family comes on next week, so we have not begun housekeeping yet. This is a high, rolling country and is very productive. Of this we expect to write later. This will suffice: Land sells for $100 an acre and can hardly be had at that. We will have a nice home with a kind and industrious people. Greetings to all. More anon. S. C B.

Were you April fooled, or were the distributors just fools in April? Will Wot Interfere. To Hi6 Excellency E. C. Heyward, Governor: Columbia, S C. Hereto attached is a petition to your excellency asking that a commission be appointed to examine the mental condition of Marion Parr, now under sentence of death fnr murder. Upon an examination of the petition I find that the request ; is based upon the belief of the mother that her son could not have "committed the deed for which he is comdemned to death in his senses." If that was the case it should have been set up as a defense and a jury of his country allowed to pass upon the issue. There were no developments at the trial of the case that would indicate that Parr had any other than "his senses" when the crime was committed or any other than "his senses" when the trial took place. Oq the other hand the evidence indicated that he was quite cunning in his endeavors to cover up his crime; and at his trial he stoutly denied bis guilt and told as plausible a tale, in his own behalf, as could have been devised under the circumstances. Those facts taken in consideration with the additional fact that he has since admitted his guilt convinces rrlfi nf fr.ho lorral nnrronfnooo nf V* U1 IUC jury's verdict and I am constrained to say that I cannot recommend the appointment of a commission such as is asked, when there is not even a prima facie showing of the mental derangement of Parr. To make such a recommendation upon the showing made would, to my mind, be the setting of a precedent that would be harmful to the administration of justice in South Carolina, i Respectfully, George Bell Timmerman, Solicitor of 5th Judicial Circuit. Homicide in Chester. W. E. Perry, an operative in the Wyle Cotton Mills in Chester, Bbot and instantly killed Langdon L. Boozer, manager of the mill store, on March 27th. The difficulty which led up to the killing arose over an account of $4 which Perry refused to settle. Mr. Boozer was a native Newberry county, his home being at Kinard in that county. He formerly lived this side of Prosperity. He was closely related to Mrs. Joseph Lown, who resides on the Orangery...
