their sentence of three years and' 1
one year, respectively in the Peni-|
- . tentiary to-day, having been oon-j
victed of breach of trust in connee-'1
tion with the funds of the defunct
Seminole Securities Company, the
amount involved being $55,000.
Garlington and Young's hope of (
executive interferences with their
sentences was blasted yesterday i

declined to interfere with the judg--|
ment of the Courts.
Bench Warrant Issued.
A bench warrant for their ar-;
rest has been issued by the *
clerk of Court and turned over to
the Sheriff who stated to ,
The News and Courier represents-1 j
tive that Garlington and Young j
are at Laurens and that they will
arrive Thursday morning and sur-1
render themselves. * :
"Prom the showing made before
me and from the petitions present-.
ed," says Gov. Blease, "I do not t
see that I now have sufficient
grounds upon which to modify or
set aside the judgment of the *
'4 Courts by granting either a com- *
mutation or pardon to the defend- 1 j
ants.
"However, if later on satisfactory , 1
evidence of their innocence should |
be presented, I will exercise such j |
clemency as I think is just and
proper. I feel very sorry indeed
for the parents of these youngf
men; they have my heartfelt sym-1
pathy and 1 firmly believe that
there arc others connected with
the matter who should be punished,
but the fact of the guilt of others
does not justify me in undoing
. what has been done by the Courts'
in this case, and, in dismissing the
petition. It is my hope that for
their good name and that of their I
parents the defendants will do >
later what, in my - opinion, they .
should have done at the time of
their trial ? make a full and op^
en statement of their transactions ^
in this matter and in doing so at- *
tempt to shield none."

Soldier Collects $7.84 of Bill for*

-* Los Angeles, Dec. 2. ? "Pay an
allowance, $7.04; subsistence short
pa^d, $1.50; deduction for clothing, p
70 cents." Thus reads the bill which y
has just been paid by Uncle Sam to 4
A. O. Garlock, of Kscondido, fifty
^ears after it was presented.
The account between the Govern- j|
ment and Mr. Garlock grew fromC
the service of Mr. Garlock in the
Forty-second Illinois Infantry, in
which he enlisted from Dekalb county,
and in which he served as first.
and second lieutenant during the
Civil War.
At the close of the conflict Lieutenant
Garlock found that the Gov-; 1
g ernment was indebted to him to the
sum of $8.54. It appears that Up- i'
cle Sam did not consider the claim I ?
pt outlawed, even though a half cen-1(
tury old. The claim bears the date I
of August 4, 1861. Fifty years to i 1
a day from the contracting of the ' (
debt a draft was drawn in favor of
Mr. Garlock for $7.84.
A Mighty Hunter. ,
When a man more than 90 years
' old can not only endure the exertion
and exposure of a deer hunt, I
but can bring down a buck at 1
topbrting distance with his own |
rifle, he is deserving of more than !
local celebrity. Mr. J. p. uidsou, or! t
Bennettsville has done the general |
frateflhity of sportsmen a service !
by recounting a recent exploit of!
a doughty Marlboro hunter, past j <l
fourscore and ten, Mr. Edmund j
McQueen and Col. J. N. Drake have
been indulging in a "camp hunt" c
on Waccamaw and Sampit. One of ?
the bucks brought back, in order
that portions of venison might be 11
sent to friends at home, was killed c
by Mr. McQueen and Mr. Gibson ^
says in theP ee Dee Advocate:
"Mr. McQueen is more than 90
years of age, yet he can see the
sight on his trusted rifle as well as ?
\ he could 60 years ago, and when a .
buck goes leaping within one hun- .
dred yards of this Scotch deer hunter
his meat belongs to Uncle Ed." _

Kentyre.
lj So many things are happening
around Kentyre this week, we are
* like the "old woman who lived in
a shoe," we have so much news we
L don't know whet to do.
} Of course everybody enjoyed the
annual ingathering picnic at Kentyre
church on Thursday evening,
though the day was rather cold.
Every year cotton seed is distributed
amoug the people of the Pee Dee
and Kentyre churches. Each family
plants a quarter of an acre,
1 which they call their "missionary
patch." Before T hanksglving the
cotton is gathered, ginned and
weighed, and at the picnic a prize
is given to the one who makes the
most cotton. Then all of the cotton
is given for missionary purposes
This idea was originated by Rev. J.
A. Wilson, some eight or ten years
ago and its growth shows the fertility
of the seed sown. This year
' Kentyre and Pee Dee churches raised
3,718 pounds of cotton for missionary
work. Kentyre raised 2,'
724 pounds, and Pee Dee 994
) pounds. Mr. R. B. McEachern got
551 pounds from his patch and won
the prize in the Kentyre congregation.
Mr. P. B. Sellers, of Dillon,
delivered this prize, a handsome
silver sugar bowl and twelve silver
tea spoons. Mr. P. M. Stuart won
the prize , which was the same as
Kentyre's, for Pee Dee and Mr.
McNeill, of FHorence, delivered it.

I Dr. Harvey is experimenting on
i an ideal engine to haul his car*van.
Speed is not essential, but he wisht
es sufficient power to pull the three,
cars up any hill, and oyer any
stretches of bad roads that the par!
ty may encounter.
The engine under consideration is
a four-cilinder engine of the revolving
type?that is, the cylinders
t will revolve about the crank shaft,
thus forming at the same time :
fan and a fly wheel to cool themselves,
thus doing away with the
; usual heavy fly wheel and water
cooling system. This will both
lighten the engine and give an additional
supply of power.

savings of Jack Simpson, of Aitken,
Minn., amounting to $2,565, securely
hidden from burglars, were reduc
ed to pulp by hungry rats and mice,
and in a letter received by President
Taft he appealed for the re- j
demption of the pulverized fragments
by the Federal treasury. Tlis
wealth, accumulated to buy a farm,
Simpson explains, was placed in a(
box and deposited between the upstairs
floor and ceiling. No human
being disturbed it. but when he
took it from its hiding place he
found it had been reduced to dust
by the -avages of rodents.
The resident has referred the
matter to the treasury department
for investigation.

SOMK OI,l> AM) ACTIVK MKN.
In His Travels Judge Koiv .\l?-ets
With Seme Old Men of Wonder*fid
Vitality.
Judge Jno. A. Fore, who has
been traveling through Dillon, .Marion
and Robeson counties recently,
tells The Herald of some very
old men he met during his travels
Over in Marion county lives Mr.
Mitchell Powers, who is 80 years
old. One naturally thinks of Mr.
Powers as an aged and decrepit
|old man hobbling around with the
assistance of crutches, but such is
not the case. In a sense Mr. Powers
is still a young man as he
walks around without the aid of
crutch or stick. Another aged gentleman
Judge Fore met in Marion
is ('apt. Matthew Stanley. ('apt.
Stanley has passed his Sdth birthday,
but lie is still an active man,
both mentally and physically. He
is one of the few suriiving veterans
of the Mexican war. Although
long since past his three score and
ten ("apt. Star.li y knows and can
recite more local history than any
half dozen men in Dillon or Marion
counties. lie remembers incidents
that happened 70 years ago
with a distinctness that is truly remarkable.
Most men who reach the allotted
three score and ten feel that their
day of usefulness is ended, but
such is not the ease with Mr. John
Spivey, another very aged man who
lives in Robeson, and whom Judge
Fore had the pleasure of meeting
on his travels. Mr. Spivey has
reaelied the remarkable age of 93
years, and is still an active man.
When Judge Fore drove up to his
home Mr. Spivey was engaged in
the rather strenuous work of tossing
corn into a barn. He is still
hale and hearty and if outward appearances
count for anything the
indications are that he has many
years of active life before him. Mr.
Thomas Ttritt. of Dillon mnrH?a ?
grand daughter of Mr. Spivey.
Another well preserved old gentlemen
whom the Judge met is Mr.
Galtley, who lives near Rowland.
Mr. Gaitley is 87 years old, but he
wears his age so easily that he
would be taken for a man many
years younger. Neither has Mr.
Gaitley lost interest in life. His
mind and body are still active, and
he takes a deeper Interest in human
affairs than most men a score
of years his junior. Mr. Gaitley is
the father of Mr. Jule Gaitley, of
IMllon. '
The active life led by these very
aged gentlemen is conclusive proof
that Dr. Osier is wrong when he
lays that a man should retire at
SO, and then be cloloroformed at
SO. 1
Mr. J. G. Regan has rented out
lis farm several miles east of Dill>n
and will move to town about the
first of the year. 1
