Columbia, .July 29.?Governor Oltn
I). Johnston disclosed today that he
had declined to consider an appeal
for clemency for Geneva Kngllsh,
Serving a year's sentence In the Florence
county Jail for complicity In the
$114,000 robbery of the Palmetto Htate
bank, Of Isike City, September 6, 19H4.
lie made public a letter from the
twenty two-year old wife of Frank
Kngllsh, Klven twenty-live years In
connection with the robbery, which
usked the governor If he would "show
leniency" if she "could prove to you
In u petition that I was innocent of
the crime of which I am convicted."
"I have never been In trouble before
ami my people have always been
law abiding Citizens/' the letter said.
It explained that a sister had Informed
Mrs. Kngllsh that a Dallas,
Texas, firm with which she suld she
formerly had been employed assured
her of a Job " If I could get a parole
or pardon."
Mrs. Kngllsh said In the letter her
father was 74 years of age and In

much to go home and be of what service
1 could to him the few duys he
has left."
"I am <iulte an expense to th<4

A reply to the letter from the governor's
secretary, Roy A. Powell, said

convicted in April of this yeur.

in the tavern where he could warm
himself," run a story on the edltoriul
page of the Boston Dally Globe. "He
cried out the order, 'Half a peck of
oysters In the shell for my horse!'
"All the fireplace crowd rushed out
to see the horse eat oysters. But
they soon came back and told him his
horse would not eat the oysters.
" 'Won't he?' asked Franklin, now
comfortably seated by the fire. 'Bring
1 them in and I'll eat them myself.' "

Motor Party Hurt
In Mountain Fall
- - - '.40
Word comes from Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd Reaver, former Camden residents,
now located at Greenville, that
all of a motor party were more or
less hurt last week, when the Beaver
car skidded on a mountain road near
Greenville.
Mrs. Beaver Is confined to her home
suffering from two broken ribs; Mr.
Beaver had several stitches taken In
one arm. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, parents
of Mr. Floyd Beaver were In the
car. The latter was only bruised,
but the former had bis nose fractured
and a fractured rib.
The car turned on Its side and
struck a pole carrying a high voltage
wire, which wire Is said to h&Tn rested
on the rubber tircB in the amashup,
causing an insolation which In all
probability kept the party from being
electrocuted.

Innocence

Ben B. Laska, dapper defender of
kidnapers, received ten years today
for conspiracy in the $200,000 abduction
of Charles F. Urochel, oil millionaire.
Lanka, whose conviction was hailed
by the government as a victory in
the drive against lawyers who defend
kidnapers, protested tearfully. An
appeal was filed Immediately.
"Ten years," he cried. "They gave
me ten years for taking a fee to defend
a man; they stood me up like
I was a common criminal, instead ol
an attorney who has practiced hie profession
twenty-seven years.
"It's awful . . . terrible ... to
treat an Innocent man like that"

Throwing Pop
Bottles At Fame
jlabe Ruth, whose name is on U?e
lips of millions, is guest editorial
writer in the American Magazine this
month, if he ever wroto an editorial
before, we do not know it, but whalJ
be writes is uo true to human nature
and ?o tersely put, it is worth reproducing
in purl;
"Fame is u spotlight one minute
and a bull's eye the next. The people
who cheer loudest when you succeed
are those who throp pop hottles the
hardest when you fail. The crowd
begins by overrating you. When you
dou't live up to Its exaggerated opinion
of you, It underrates you. Nobody
would be famous If people didn't go
to such extremes. Loud cheers make
heroes. Pop bottles make martyrs.
Why can't people be sensible and take
a mau just for what he is? If we
really uuderstand a man, we do not
worship him and we do not abuse
him.
"It's all very well to be known all
over the world. It pays big dividends.
But dividends alone won't make a
man happy. I know, because I've
spent them. I think it lb better to
be known well by a few good friends
?trusted and liked and respected by
them In spite of all of one's weaknesses
and short-comings?than to be
cheered on every continent by people
who think you're great. A famous
man alwuys feels as If he were living
under false pretenses, that sooner or
later he will be found out and showered
with pop bottles.
"I've heard people say that the
trouble with the world is that we
haven't enough great leaders. 1 think
we haven't enough great followers..
1 have stood side by side with great
thinkers?surgeons, engineers, economists,
men who deserve a great folowing?and
have heard the crowd
cheer me Instead. In each case most
of the crowd didn't know the names
of my companions and didn't care.
That has happened in public gatherings
which had nothing to do with
baseball."
That's the way of us Americans.
We idolize fame one day, we throw
pop bottles at it the next. Mr. Itoosevelt
was elected president by the
greatest majority in a generation or
so of choosing Presidents. Now we
are throwing pop bottles at him because
he muffs a ball now and then.
We do it; you do it. It's our nature
to worship fame one day and crucify
it the next.?Cleveland Star.
No Credit
June Wifey?What do they muttn by
"anti-trust bills," dearest?
Dearest?They must mean the bills
that the grocer makes us pay in cash
because we have no credit.
Governor General Murphy of Hawaii
has vetoed a bill which would havs
permitted the release of many of the
i o.OOO lepers at the Culion Island colony.
Cs4good cigarette, too s
needs Jda/ance
And that's why the tobaccos in
Chesterfield are carefully balanced
one against the other . . . not too
much of one ? not too little of
another.
We take the right amounts of
the right kinds of four types of
tobacco ? Bright, Burley, Maryland
and Turkish.
It is this balancing of tobaccos
that makes Chesterfields milder
and makes them taste better.

Don't Procrastinate
The definition of Procrastinate is "to put off until
a further time." Procrastination has been referred
to as "the thief of time," but when applied to the regular
servicing of your automobile it is actually "the
thief of Dollars and Cents," when the moving parts
become worn from lack of lubrication. Let us service
your car regularly.

Kids Of Elloree
Strong For Goats
Elloree, July 29.?"Every boy should
have a goat," is an old adage that has
struck the youthful element of Elloree
like an epidemic this summer.
Every few days it is announced by
some Joyful little boy that he is going
to get a goat, too. This announcement
is quite an achievement on the
part of the youngster, for it is always
preceded by days of untiring pleading
to gain such a permission from
doubtful parents.
The goats of almost any hue and
color are carefully rigged up in strikeingly
original harness made by the
various little owners and are hitched
to wagons that are Just as original
which are also manufactured by the
little boys. A ride on the familiar
goat wagon is a Joy of a life time
Judging from the expressions on the
faces of those who participate. These
goats are driven daily on the streets
of Elloree and in such refreshing glee
that many a person standing by voices
the wish in his heart that he were a
boy with a goat again.
One little Negro boy haB an ever
coveted team of goats that he drives
to his wagon, and needless to say,
this little dark skinned fellow rates
in his own estimation as well as in
the eyes of his playmates. Goats are
in many of the carefully shrubbed
yards of Elloree now, and it is- rumored
that orders are in for several others.
The "goat age" in.. the life of
a real American boy is said to be
roughly estimated at the ages from
when the boy begins to walk to about
twelve years. During this age if a
boy voices a desire for a goat, someone
is sure to remark with wisdom
tried and true: "Every boy should
have a goat."
