The regular election for a mayor and six aldermen to serve for the next two years was also ordered. J. D. Copeland, Jr., F. W. Free, and G. 0. Simmons will be managers for both elections.

Last week the board of pardons recommended that the governor issue a pardon to Charley Jones, who was an accomplice in the killing of Elijah Norman, and no doubt Governor Ansel will comply with the recommendation of the board. It will be remembered that some time in the year 1901 Bragg Jones went up in the third story of the cotton mill and shot Elijah Norman to death. Norman was at his work when he was killed. Charley Jones accompanied his brother Bragg and was found guilty of being an accomplice. Bragg was sentenced .to imprisonment of ten years and Charley seven years. They were carried to Columbia in July, 1901, so Charley will have served nearly six years of his sentence. The application for a pardon for I Charles Zissett wasa gain continued nwlot. oilr\xxj thp attnrnpv for the I Ui V1UV1 W Ml?V f? VMV petitioner to furnish a copy of the testimony taken at the trial. Tried to Escape. The negro Dock Nelson, who is confined in jail under sentence of death, was caught up with by Sheriff Hunter in an attempt to file his way to liberty. While things were quiet Sunday afternoon the Sheriffs wife heard a noise and called his attention to it. He sent his deputy, Mr. Simms Hunter, up-stairs to investigate, who slipped off his shoes and crept noiselessly up the steps. When he arrived at the door the negro was seen busily engaged in trying to file away one of the iron bars to a window, using a small hand saw file. When detected he said he was glad r?onorVi+- nnH atrmned him. WiCJ IXOU V^.v. , but what caused him to be so glad is not known. He freely talked about the filing, saying he intended to file enough bars away to get out of the window. He was also chained to the floor, but the chain was long enough for n im to walk around the room and reach the door and windows. He said the file was given him by a negro who was confined in jail some time ago. It was a small wornout affair, and it would have taken him a long time to get out with such an instrument. He had been at work for some time, as the Sheriff's wife had been hearing the filing noise for a week or more. We went over to see what Nelson had accomplished, and he talked to us freely. The sheriff has shortened his chain so he cannot move around the room, and a steel cage will now be provided for his safe keeping. We told Nelson he was very foolish to attempt to get out with such a faulty tool; that he had little or no chance of success, and now the Sheriff would of necessity have to be more strict with him. He said he knew it and wished he had not tried to get away. We told him he had at least a year yet to live, and he seemed pleased at the information. Nelson -- 1,*?;i IS MIC uiliv pnouiid Ill jau. In the room recently occupied by the young white man, who was sent to the penitentiary at the recent term of court for robbing the store of Dr. J. S. Matthews at Denmark, we were shown some writing on the window with soap which Nelson did before his departure. He wrote very complimentary of the sheriff, and said that a man's best frieild was the dollar; when his money was gone his friends were gone. He had one window nearly covered with nice things about the sheriff and his friends going back on him. It seems he had about $400 when he got to running with the crowd who got him into trouble, and they must have spent it for him or helped him to spend it. \ Box Gets Liberty The board of pardons last week recommended a pardon to H. C. Box, the white man who was sent up from Hampton in 1903 for seven years for manslaughter. Box has a peculiar history. He is a very old man and a cripple. The homicide for which he was tried took place at Tillman, in Hampton county, in front of the Baptist church there and was the result of a row with W. J. McReary, . n<l>A nroo Ull/ul RaV ftfl tllP first WI1V WCVO 1V111CU. UUA) U<1 - sentence, appealed to the supreme court, and when that body decided against him he voluntarily came to Columbia to begin his sentence. He did not, however, bring with him his commitment papers and was compelled to wait a day before he could enter the penitentiary. The pardon was recommended by the solicitor and the county delegation and officials, it being stated that Box was in very bad health and now a helpless cripple.?The State. The number of those who were just ready for a pension seems to be very large. The last congress passed a bill providing that every man who received an honorable discharge after three months service in the Mexican or civil war may receive a pension of $12 a month at the age of sixty-two, $15 a month at the age of ??J? ^ ? ? mJ ?OA n mnnfli oftflf V*Q Sixty-iive, cUlU tptAJ a uivuui oxbvi uv is seventy.
