Hughes Pardoned. Columbia, S. C., July 3.?The State board of pardons to-day acted upon a number of petitions and re- ] ported their recommendations to' ' Governor Ansel. Vincent Cook, a white man con- ' victed in Hampton county along < with Bose and Daisy Cook, of killing ] the town marshal. The sentence of the former was seven years and the I petition comes with the recommen- ] dation of the judge and solicitor. It ? is claimed that Vincent was acting I as peacemaker and therefore a par- i don is recommended. J. J. Hughes, of Bamberg, re- < ceived a sentence of six years for as- ' sault and battery with intent to kill, i it being charged that in a drunken : fit he beat his wife. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced according- 1 ly. The petition is presented by the man's wife who, together with two children, are dependent upon him for support and it also states that . the charge should have been assault , and battery. The petition being J signed by the entire community and the solicitor, the pardon is granted , after September next, when two ( years will have been served, with the . condition that he be again put in the , penitentiary if he commits the same , offense in four years. County Board Meeting. 1 The county board of commission- j ers held a regular quarterly meeting j at the court house last Monday, Supervisor Kearse and Commissioners f Bellinger and Folk being present. i Cotton weighers were elected as , follows, these being the same as last , year: , Bamberg?E. Dickinson. Olar?J. J. Brabham. , Denmark?F. B. Gibson. Ehrhardt?J. D. Carter. j Abbie Hightower and Peggy Brab- , ham were placed on the pauper list, but the application of R. B. Eaves was left over for investigation. Commissioner Folk was instructed to investigate the case. The claim of Dr. W. N. H. Folk for medical services rendered Mrs. 1 Adeline Chassereau was not paid. A number of claims were approved \ and the board adjourned. 1 ? " i I City Council Meeting. \ City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon, with Mayor Hair and Aldermen Copeland, Brabham, Free, Cooner, and Wyman present. The report 01 Uie treasurer buuwed expenditures of $964.37 during the month, and *a balance on hand 1 of $530.70. The time for paying street faxes was extended until August 1st. After that date a penalty of 25 cents will be added. i Chief of Police Hand was granted a vacation of two weeks with pay. He will visit relatives in North Caro- < lina during his rest. A resolution Was passed that an ordinance be prepared limiting the speed of automobiles to ten miles an hour within the city limits. This ordinance will be presented at the next meeting. Council has put off action on this matter, hoping that the speeding indulged in by. some would be discontinued. Pardon Kecommenaea. In recommending to Governor Ansel that he pardon J. J. Hughes, the State board of pardons says: "This defendant was tried at the Bamberg court, September, 1906, for assault and battery with intent to kill; found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor for a term of six years. The crime with which this defendant was convicted was an assault upon his wife in a drunken fit. He pleaded guilty of the charge and was sentenced as stated. The petition for pardon is signed by the solicitor and citizens of Bamberg county. Judge Gage, however, who heard the case and imposed the sentence, declines to' recommend executive clemency. From the evidence before the board it is clear that the prisoner did not intend to plead guilty of "intent to kill," but simply of the "assault and battery." This was bad enough, for the board is impressed with the thnncht. that of the many crimes against the person an assault upon the wife by the husband is one of the most heinous. If the case of the defendant alone were under consideration the board would be loath to consider with favor the prayer of the petition. The application, however, is made by the wife, who together with two infant children are largely dependent upon the personal efforts of the defendant for their daily bread. This, together with the almost unanimous approval of the community and the approval of the solicitor, has induced the board to recommend this application with favor. We would, however, deem it unfortunate that by any action of this board or of your excellency we would appear to condone such an offense. The prisoner .will have served two years of his sentence in September next, and the board would recommend that after the expiration of two years that your excellency would then grant a pardon upon the s condition that should the defendant be guilty of a like breach of peace at any time before the expiration of ! his sentence that he be returned to the penitentiary to serve the full pei riod. The board would, therefore recommend a pardon upon such conditions." | v , June Honor Roll. The following persons paid their lubscriptions to The Bamberg Herald luring the month of June.
