Charley Jones Pardoned.
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

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

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

and eighty-five thousand applications
for pensions have been received.
