We have planned 10 have a "Work Day" offering in favor of the Epworth Orphanage, on Oct. the 20th, inst. WVe desire to have as many people as will to donate their earnings of that day to the support of the Orphanage. There are thousands of men and women, boys and girls, who could -well afford to give the earnings of one day to the support of a cause so worthy and deserving as that of providing for the more than one hundred fatherless little ones placed under the care of the Methodist church in South Carolina, for support and training. It will be a small matter to the individual to make this contribution, but the gifts of the many will aggregate a helpful sum for the care of the orphans. Let some one be appointed in every community to take charge of the Iofferings and remit to us, but if prefierable the individual may send his own offering. WVe hope. the chidreni throughout the state wil] be encouraged to take an active part in this matter, and that all the friends of thle Orphans will co-operate with Ius in making the day a success.

McDowell, For Comittee. WILL NOT HANG. Sentence For Hoyt Hayes Commuted To Life Term-Governor Heyward's Statement. Hoyt Hayes will not be hanged. Gov. Heyward has commuted his sentence to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary. This action was based principally on the decision of an expert examiner of questioned handwriting. Hayes had been can victed of having kilied his wife, and the evidence was purely circumstan tial, with nothing to show motive, and for that reason it appealed to the governor that there might be cause for doubt; the statement of the ex pert increases that feeling of doubt to such an extent that Gav. Heyward is unwilling to see the man suffer the death penalty. On the other hand he does not grant an unconditional par don for that reason that there are so many circumstances unfavorable to the accused that a commutation of sentence seems to him to be the only alternative. The whole question seemed to rest on the truth or falsity of the state ment that the note signed by the dead woman had been written by her. State held it was forgery. Governor Heyward submitted the matter to an expert of international reputation and then came to his decision. The gay ernor's statement, in part, was as fol lows: "The state claims that this note was tive for the crime. The defense re lied upon the theory that the deceas ed committed suicide and a not was produced, claimed by the defense to be in her handwriting. This note reads as follows: " 'LULA " ' am treated well by Hoyt but I Ihad rather die than to have the pain and sickness of motherhood, there fore I write to let von knowv I did "The state claims that this not was a forgery by defendant. produced by~ imju in order to~ furnish the foiuda tion of a defense. "The questionl then. whe. wrote this note. was a most material circumt stance to be considered in this case. Tes~timiony of local experts was had at herathe hepeodrneof such evi dence being in favor of the geinees of the paper. Realizing this to be a most material point in e as I set all the written exhibits used on trial to Mr. David N. Car valho of New York the most promi nent expert examiner of questioned handwriting. inks and paper in Amer ica, with the request that he render an opinion. After keeping the papers several days he returned them with his report. "Mr. Calvalho is entirely disinter ested and while his opinion was not tested by examination in .court, it shows that the state may have erred in charging the defendant with for gery, in order to conceal his crimt. This presents a case where there is a strong possibility that the circum stances now showing the defendant's guilt may, in the future, be explained away. I cannot bring myself to au thorize the infliction of the death sen tence, which would now and forever prevent any correction of the mis take, should these circumstances be explained.
