The following petition, given herewith in part, which was sworn tc^ was as follows: "That he was on the first day' of % July, 1913, arrested and carried before Jas. H. Fowles, magistrate, charg-; ed with failure to pay his commutation tax. '"That upon his arraignment he entered a plea of guilty. "That this plea having been accepted by the court, a sentence of thirty days, at hard labor upon the public roads, was given him without the al'ternative of a fine. "That your petitioner is and has always been a peaceful and law abiding citizen of the county of Richland, and during his life has accumulated means and property, and his failure to pay was purely an oversight and upon being arrested frankly admitted his mistake and guilt." , "The constitution of the State of South Carolina, in my opinion," says the governor, "clearly provides that ' & magistrate can fine a man not more than one hundred dollars or thirty days in prison, and he most assuredly Las no right to sentence a man to serv-e without the alternative of a fine, and for that reason, the defendant was granted a full and free pardon on July 8th, 1913." r > Brewington, Ernest T., (white).?

FATHER AND SON IN FATAL PISTOL DUEL FORMER LIES DEAD AS RESULT OF FAMILY TROUBLE. John Dobson Receives Four Bullet TFounds From Pistol oi Son in Pickens County Tragedy. ! Anderson, Juiy s.?in a pistoi auei on the Pelzer plantation, just across the Pickens county line, John Dobson, a white farmer, was killed and his 13-year-old son, Roy, was probably fatally shot. The duel was between John. Dobson and his 17-yearold son, Will Dobson, and occurred at the Dobson home. It seems that John Dobson was ov erbearing toward ins wife and that they quarrelled on Sunday. Afterwards he left home, going to Pendleton. Dobson returned to his home late yesterday and again quarrelled with his wife, it is said. She sent to the field for Will Dobson, who, it i? said, went in the house, and secured his pistol. The father had his pistol in his hand, and some say that he was the first to ?re. \yith Dobson fired five times, four bullets striking his father, who fell; in a heap on the ground. One of the bullets from John Dobson's pistol hit Roy Dobson, who was in the house shielding his mother.

Account From Greenville. Greenville, July 8.?John Dobson, a farmer living about a mile from Central, in Pickens county, died about 2 o'clock this morning from wounds received in a pistol duel yesterday evening with his lT-year-old son, who had it is said, attempted to save his mother from abuse at the hands of her husband. The shoDting occurred about sundown yesterday at the Dobson farm. A 12-year-old son of Dobson, who was standing by, was struck accidentally by a bullet from his father's pistol and is today lying at the point of death in a hospital in Anderson. Will Dobson, the boy who shot his father, immediately went to Pickens, where he surrendered to the sheriff and was placed in jail. He hay made no statement. The tragedy is said to be the culmination of a period of domestic infelicity between Dobson and "his wife lasting over several years. During this time, Dobson, it is said, had severely abused his wife on many occasions. Trouble of this kind occurred only a j few days ago, reports stated, ana tne boys had warned the father that it must not occur again. Yesterday afternoon Will Dobson was in the field at work, and hearing | trouble at the house, rushed to the defence of his mother. Both he and his father had r&. elvers and a number of shots were exchanged, the father, it ie declared, firing first. Young Dobson fired six shots, four of which took effect. The Toot Code.
