An order .signed by Governor
Thomas (J. Mcla*od wax received by
.Superintendent S. If. Miekle of tl?c?
road force* of Kc.rxhuw County for
the release of .John T. Melton, tried
and convicted at the February term
of court before Judge J. K. Henry on
a charge of manslaughter.
Melton stubbed Lo death 1.eland Andemon,
a white youth, in u pasture
near Cahsatt, during the progress of
a gambling game. The defense at
the time offered no testirnoriy, relyirig
on the stale to prove its case.
Judge Henry sentenced Melton to
serve from ten to twenty years. |Je
bad not served more than ten months
when his order foi release came.
The Chronicle has been unable to
learn it a petition was circulated, or
if the judge, jurors and solicitor recommended
a pat don. The order from
the governor reads as follows: "Now,
know ye, that for diver# good causes
and consideration me hereunto mov-'
ing, 1 have thought fit to suspend,
and by these presents do .suspend, during
good behavior, the said sentence
of John T. Mcitbn."
Not Surprising
In the opinion of The V orkville KnqHirer,
there is nothing surprising in
the death of I {lease's Weekly published
by Wilton F Hall of Anderson.
There was simply po field lor it. Senator
Hlea.se, Mr. Hall, the publisher,
has stated repeatedly, bad no financial
interest in the publication. He
vca- merely "con' rihuting editor."
Bleai'V "Weekly somehow never did
appeal In the advot ti.-crx, cither national
or local. It would appear that
in thr South Carolina journalistic
field there i.< no place for a weel.'y
newspaper devoted prin tpul'y to politics.
If memory serves correctly,
only one was ever made to go in t'n
South. That 'vtwn Tiiiii Watson's "JefIer.sonian.'
lie put his whole heart
ami mi ml in thn'. Colo Mioase, brilliant
a.- he i s % evidently didn't give
much time and thought to "Hlea-e'o

Mr. Hrisbane's editorials are pub- 1
lished as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of his
views arid conclusions.
If, as a big income taxpayer, you'
had prcpured smiles for the $500,-!
000,000 it fund, change your gm iles ' ?
liars.
The $250,000,000 will not he refunded.
Congn-s thinks the money would j
he hotter in the Pork Barrel than in
the pockets of payers'.
There is. demand for more public
buildings.
And there is the harm Block. It
says that if government has money
to huin, it should spend some on solving
farm problems, and cotton men
want help to hold up cotton.
Santa t'laus is not coming- with
his $250,000,000 hag to the big taxpayers
this year.
Captain Mubbutt, manager , of
Dempsey's training says the champion
fighter was drugged with jioison in
his coffee. That is possible. Prizelighting
is not 100 percent ethical.
But there is a drug successful
prize-fighters absorb after they get
I the championship that is potent, apart
from chemistry. Its ingredients include:
Too much money, self-induli
gcnce, flattery. They all take these
i drugs and are all beaten by them in
the end. And then there is Father
'l ime; he drugs and knocks out all '>f
us.
While this richest country, whim
.-olemuly believes that it won the war,
trios t<> fly and can't, the defeated
German nation goes as far ahead of
us in engineering as it was in chemistry
before the war started.
A German engineer is at work on
a super plane to carry 10,000 horsepower
engines, ten propellors, 120
passenger*, a crew of twenty-five and
cross the Atlantic in thirty-six hours.
Merely hearing about that makes
n- dizzy in this country.
Investigation of watchmen on Long
Island grade crossings found eighteen
of them asleep. Fourteen "watchers"
are found peaceably slumbering on

The best is the raised or sunken
