A press dispatch from Richmond, Va., dated Dec. 3rd, says: Gov. Cole Jj. Blease of South Caro llna sorved notice to the governors' conference this afternoon that lynchers of negro assailants of white women in this State would go unpunished. Oov. Dlease warmly defended his use of the pardoning power as well us declaring that In 22 months he had pardoned or pa roled approximately 400 persons and that ho hoped this nuihber at the end of tho scoond term would be 800. Gov. Blouse justified tho use he had made of his pardoning power, he said, by conditions ho had found iii penal Institutions in the State. "I walked through the peniten tiary of South Carolina," he said, "and found it a tuberculosis Insti tution where Door devils wero dv-i ing at their tasks, making money for other people; poor devils who had 110 choice but to stand and work or take the lash. Jut^L the other day Jim Roberts, a nfcgro from Charleston, stopped the as I wus walking through and respectfully asked permission to speak to me. He told me that he had been kept in Jail for 2 2 years for stealing a $27 watch. "I said: 'If you are telling me the truth you will eat your Christ mas dinner with folks at home.' He .said: 'Governor, I have (no folks/ Then I replied, 'You will eat it away from here.' And he will. Another negro had served 11 years and seven months for stealing $9. A judge wrote me that he had sen tenced to death a man wlien ho did not believe the man had been con victed beyond a. reasonable doubt. Another wrote mo that he sentenced to death a man who he did not be lieve should be put to death. He did not believe it at the time, nor does he believe it now. "Those are the en'otfs -of injus tice I am trying to right with my power to pardon. 1 am proud of my "record."

I "How did tin' H?*d Ctosb ('hrlst inus Heal originate?" is a quoetlon that is biding uskod by many .dur ing this holiday bouboh when mil lions of these stickers uro being sold all over tho United StatOB. To Jacob HUb, tho well-known bo cial worker of Now York, and to MIbb Nmlly 1*. Dispell, the energetic Bocrctary of tho Delaware Red Cross, Jointly bolong tho honor of originating our American Hod Cross Christ uian Seal. In 1909 Mr. HUb* Interest was aroused by tho receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a letter Trom Norway, llo pub lished an article about this queer looking Htamp In the Outlook, and BUggOsted some possible ubob for it In this country. Miss lllssoll at once saw an opportunity hero and prepared a stamp, from the salo of which her Society realized |3,000 for tuberculosis work. So impress ed was she with this success that sho Induced tho American Rod Cross to tako up tho salo In 1908 on a national basis. With very little or ganlzntlon and with hardly any at tempt at careful advertising, the Halo that year brought -in, neverthe less, ovt-r $135,000 for auti-tubercu IohIh work In various part's of the United States. In 1909, with more thorough organization, the Bale was increased to $230,000, and In 19 10 to noarly $310,000. Last year tlu? Bale Increased to over $330,000, or 33,000,000 seals. While our own Ited Cross Seal dates back only four years, "char ity stamps," from which this idea originally sprung, go back to 1862, when "sanitary fair stamps" wore first used in Boston to Becure money for the care Of soldiers wounded duving the Civil War. Nearly $1,-' Ct'u.ooo was raised in this way dur ing tho >ears 1.862 to 1865. After the war this method of rhising money was discontinued in this country for a generation, although it found vogue in Portugal, Switzer land, Austria, Prance, Spain, Den mark, Norway, Rusla, Sweden and other European countries. There aro now. hundreds of different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty being used in 'Austria for children's hos pitals alone. Stamps or seals were first used to get money for the anti-tubercu losis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. It was from one of these stamps that Jacob Kiis and Miss Bissell received their ideas for our own Red Cross Christmas Seal. PERSONAL MENTION?
