SOCIAL CLUBS MUST
CLOSE ON SUNDAY.
Sheriff Corley Serves Notice
on Managers?Result
of Strong Moral
Sentiment.
The two social clubs of Lexington
must close their places of business at
11:30 o'clock on Saturday night and
remain closed until 6 o'clock Monday
morning, or be closed up permanently,
if the mandate of the sheriff is to
be obeyed.
Sheriff Corley on Monday served
the.following notice on the managers
of both clubs:
"You will take notice that you are
hereby required to not let any whiskey
or beer be taken out of your club
at any time, and also to close ycur
social club every Saturday night at
11:30 o'clock sharpe, and keep the
same closed until 6 o'clock Monday
morning.
"In case you fail to comply with
this request it will be my duty as sheriff
to swear?out a warrant for vou and
have your places of business closed
permanently.
"P. H. Corley,
"Sheriff Lexington County."
This action comes as the result of a
strong moral sentiment. It is understood
that many of the members are
in favor of the Sunday observance and
the managers, it is thought, will obey
the sheriff's order to the letter.
Gave Graduate Recital.
The State, 13th May.
Last evening at the College for
Women, Miss Anna Martha Meetze
gave her graduate song recital. Miss
Meetze is a Lexington girl and is popular
both in her home town and in
Columbia, a fact evidenced by the
large audience. The programme was
quite lengthy and unusually diversified,
consisting of groups of German,
French, Italian and English songs,
which were rendered in the original
language. Miss Meetze possesses a
pleasing voice of clear bird-like quality
and sings with an ease and sureDes9
which might be surprising in a singer
of far greater experience. Every
number on the programme was rendered
in a manner highly creditable to
the young singer and to her teacher,
Miss Bancroft. The audience ex
i pressed their appreciation with gen|
erous applause and the flowers sent
I were exceptionally abundant and
beautiful.
The programme in full was as follows
:
"With Verdure Clad'' (Aaydon).
"Fruhlingslaube" (Schubert).
" "Haiden.Roslein'' (Schubert).
"Thy Beaming Eyes" Mac Dowell).
"Tell Me" Nevinj.
"My Lady" [Kiedlinger).
"Sfymphes et Sylvains" (Bamberg).
"Solveig's Song" (Grieg).
"With a Water Lilly," (Grieg).
"Du Bist Wie Eine Blume" (Schumann).
"Volksliedsehen" (Schumann).
"Le Parlate d'Amour," Faust (Gounod).
Mr. Smith Loses Dwelling
The neat little home of Mr. G. Olin
Smith, at Barr, was totally destroyed
by fire about 7 o'ciock Friday evening.
All of the contents, including a handsome
piano, went up in the flames.
It is thought that the fire originated
from a defective stove flue. The
loss is about $1,500.
Pelion School Will
Close Next Friday.
The closing exercises of the Pelion
High School will be held on next Friday
afternoon, beginning promptly at
3 o'clock. The public most cordially
invited.

S. W. STOCKMAN
PAROLED BY BLEASE
Governor Requires Him
to Abstain Entirely
From Liquor.
Columbia Record, Saturday.
In paroling, SaturjajT, S. W. Stockman
of Lexington county, who was
serving a seven years' sentence from
August, 1907, Governor Blease endorsed
the petition as follows:
"Paroled during good behavior and .
oil tne further condition that S. W. [
Stockman do not use intoxicating
liquors in any form, and upon the
further condition that any breach of
the peace on the part of S. W. Stockman
will be a forfeiture of this parole
and he shall be recommitted to serve
the remainder of the sentence. Cole
L. Blease, Governor, Columbia, May
13, 1911."
An interesting sidelight on the case
is a letter from Judge of Probate Geo.
S. Drafts of Lexington, who wrote the
Governor that he was approached by
Jacob Crim and asked to sign a petition
for the pardon of Stockman; that
again during the election he was approached
and Crim told him, "If you
do not sign they will fight you in the
election." Mr. Drafts writes that he
told him "if I had to get any office by
signing 9uch a petition I did not want
it." He does not think that Stockman
9honld be pardoned.
Governor Blease received the following
statement about the case from
Dr. H. G. Eleazer of Peak:
"I was present and heard the evidence
in the case of the State against
Sam Stockman, an old Confederate
soldier who is now wearing the stripes
as a result of conviction for killing his
son-in-law, Hampton Hartley. Had I
been on the jury the verdict would
have been different or a mistrial would
have resulted. No one asked me to
make the request for Stockman's freedom
and I do so from a sense of right,
formed on the day of his conviction.
Should opportunity afford I would
9peak. So I have spoken w7ith all the
vim of my honest soul that to continue
him in the toils?advanced in age, a
Confederate soldier and nagged to desperation
to do what he did?is almost
stealing from the grave."
At the hearing before Governor
Blease a few wreeks ago it was brought
out that Stockman had been horsewhipped.
At the time of the hearing
Governor Blease announced that he
would reduce the sentence. The pa
roling ot Stockman knocks off about
five years of the sentence.
Unfortunate Difficulty.
A very unfortunate difficulty happened
at Mooer's pond, few miles out
from Swansea, on Friday night, when
Mr. Clarence Rucker, one of the larg
est farmers in the county, was shot by
Barnie Reeder, the weapon used being
a Winchester rifle. The bullet, a 44
calibre, penetrated the ? leg below
the knee, causing a wound which necessitated
amputation. The operation
was performed bj-Dr. A. B. Knowlton,
the distinguished surgeon of Columbia,
assisted by Drs. Brooker, and Mr.
Rucker is getting along as well as
could be expected.
The trouble occured at a fishing
party and, it is said that whiskey was
the cause of it all.
Deputy Sheriff Miller responded to
the call with his accustomed promptness.
Young Reeder was placed undo*
orroof annoaror? hofrvrp TVTftorktrafo
Jefcoat, gave bond in the sum of ?1,000
and was released. Both parties are
prominent and the unfortunate difficulty
is greatly deplored.
Lexington County Gaining
Lexington county gained in the ten
years 4,776?a fine showing for a
county without a city and having no
town with as many as 2,000 inhabitants.
There are abundant signs that
Lexington is gaining in prosperity as
an agricultural county.?The State.
Prayer Meeting.
There will be prayer meeting at
Mrs. Nancy Oorley's next Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock.

The chief result of experience is clearness of view in discerning
the Fertile soil on which to plant that part of to-day's
harvest set aside for to-morrow's betterment.
The wise planting of pennies and dollars in a sayings acI
count where the growth is certain is making a virtue of necessity.
Planting therefore becomes not merely an economic virtue 1
but the sj mbol and instrument of a man's independence.
