Ministers Make Flea For Condemned Men Columbia, ? >. C., May 1.?-Governor Richards yesterday heard an appeal by a delegation o? Methodist ministers for commutation to life imprisonment of the death sentence now hanging over Paul Johnson and Ray Coleman, convicted, of killing Karle Belue, Spartanburg payroll 'clerk. The ministers in their plea contended that there was no evidence of pre meditated murder. Johnson's father is the Rev. L. W. Johnson, pastor of the Simpsonville Methodist church. The Rev. Mr. Johnson is Coleman's father-in-law. Hi' did not appear with the ministers, however. Coventor Richards said he told the ^ministers he would take the matter under advisement. Heading the delegation were the Rev. Robert K. Stackhouse, presiding elder at Greenville, and the Rev. TL. Bryaon of Simpsonville. Johnson and Coleman are sentenced to die May 16. Belue was killed almost a year ago when two youths attempted to hold up his automobile as he was taking money to pay ofT employes of a textile mill near Spartanburg. Several weeks later the youths were captured. After being found guilty, their appeal to the supreme court for a new trial failed. Lancaster's Population Increases. Returns from the census enumerator show that Lancaster has a population of d.511 as compared with in 1020. an increase of approximately 17 per cent during the last ten years. The figures are for that part of Lancaster which i* incorporated and does not include the Lancaster mill village nor include the negro inhabitants who live outside the city limits. A conservative estimate of the total population that lives within a radius of a mile of the Lancaster court house is 8,000, thinks the Lancaster News.

Taylor, present efficient and popular postmaster at Kershaw, had been given the appointment for unother term by President Hoover.
