Ob, Governor Blease,
- Turn me aloose,
* - I got no money,
Bat a good excuse!
?I'm yoor friend, boss.
t . -
Governor Blease has withdrawn all
papers from the State pardon board,
and in the future will pass upon all
petitions for pardon without asking
nsister anybody.
"I do not propose to have a conflict
with any of the delegations unless i
they recommend men who I know to j
be my enemies.'' Thus spoke Goyer- j
nor Blease in appointing the Richland
county dispensary board, according to
a report sent oat from Colombia.
B. L. Abney, the well known Colombia
lawyer who was employed by
the State dispensary commission to
help prosecute the alleged grafters,
has received ten thousand dollars for
hie services so far. We always did
fcnow that Ben Abney was a powerful
good lawyer.,
By courtesy of The State we are
uble to present to our readers an excellent
photograph of the steel bridge
at Wyses' fcry. The State is not only
a great newspaper, but it delights
to accommodate the other papers,
who are less fortune te in equipment.
We thank The State for its kindness.
It is to he r?--retted that ihe cover
4 ' '
nor has ser fit not to commission
I' "Col. C. P. r -.ttlebaum, of Conway,
to preside <x*r the Hory county court,
after be * \ been recommended by
v thechmr : istice of the supreme court.
This ? '*' ?n on the part of the governor
h - H;ost the taxpayer of Hory a
* rable sum of money, and that
is xrhat) hurts. .
Xow that the free bridge has been
tsuilt across the Saluda River there
* should be?and there will be?a closer
relationship between the people of the
two sections. There was much talk
of another bridge, with the probabil*
ity of a third one, at the big picnic
Saturday, and there is going to be
such a howl for these bridges that
they will be built, and that too before
so very long. And this is as it should
be. It is a sign tbat our people are
not going to be outdone by other connd.1^
-Ll- - .U... W T
ucs no more aoie WJ fojuy t-uese
ings and privileges than is Lexington.
Happily, "onr people have reached the
point where they want good roads and
\ ' tree bridges and are beginning to re'
^aiize that it cost money to get them.
As a result we are going to have both.
The supervisor is building roads at a
rapid rate, and if the people will learn
to have a little patience every road in
the county will soon be worked. I
is foolish to expect the supervisor to
do impossibilities. - He capuot put the
chaingaog on all of the roads at the
*&2De time. Be patient; the chain^augwiil
come your way bye awl bye.
Pardon was Refused.

A Tramp's Ritual.
Question: Who comes here ?
Answer. A poor worthless eanci- |
date for charity, who begs to have awl j
receive part of the free lunch of this j
town, set apart for regular customers, |
as many thousand tramps have done j
before me;
How do vou expect to gain these j
j privileges,
| By being a man too lazy to work, J
i and ashamed to beg, and under the
tongue of general bad report.
Where can this report be had of you ?
In the police reports, inebriate asylums
and cafes.
Whence cauie you ?
From a town in Texas called Booze.
Then pou are a regular tramp, I perceive
?
I am so taken and arrested wbereever
I go.
How do yon know you're a regular
tramp ?
By being often arrested and tried
and never acquitted and expect to be
arrested, tried and convicted again.
Where were you first prepared to be
a tramp? ....
In a small bar-room adjoining my
place ot abode.
How were yon then prepared ?
By being kicked and caffed around
until nearly divested of my clothes,
having been previously deprived of
all my money and diamonds.
1 What induced you to become a
tramp ?
That I might travel over the land,
indulging my appetite for beer, sponjging
my living from the pubic.
. How am I to know yon to be a
tramp?
By the size and laziness of my feet,
by the size and color of my nose, and
by signs, grips and words.
What are the words !
\
Certain plausible tales that will best
serve to induce the Iadv of the house
to give up her cakes and pies.
What are the signs ?
Dirty face and hands or torn and
dirty clothes.
What is the grip ?
A tight hold, on anything portable.
Will you give me a grip ?
No; get on some othe/fellow.
How did you first gain admission to !
this town ?
By a good long tramp at low twelve, j
the time when all oolicemen are !
called from labor to refreshments.
How were you received ?
By a cop 0:1 tbe point of taking an
eye opener.
What did he do with you ?
He put me in a cooler in due form. |
What, was next done with you ?
Conducted me around from east to
west, to the court house and told to
stand erect and face the judge. What
did the judge say to you Heboid me
to say my name, promise to obey the
law, after which he ordered me to
4a1va m />w\ 4/\ In /\ l/vl" a * ^7 f V a
va&c <n Deep tu uic iciu duu nuwvv
cop to the place from whence I came.
The cop then gave me the grip and
wished me lnck on my trip; that I
may never sleep ou:, go hungry or
dry.
Heyward County Given
New Life.
The Heyward county movement
was given a new lease on life when
Gov. h lease refused to sign the meas
Eft*e passed at the last session of the
general assembly which was aimed at
ill-informed counties.
44 Ju my opinion the act is in conflict
with the constitution and I decline to
sign the same."
This was the telegram addressed by
the governor to I). S. Henderson,
representing Aiken county and (rw.
T. Jackson of Augusta, representing
tiie Heyward county movement.
The approving ;&f tnc act wonld.
have meant a yK?ijraiuiej,t death to Keyward
county.
It is expected that the attorneys for r
the new county movement will forma
late another p**lk:o?i tor tin election j
on Howard conMy.
