day that there were now between
>r ISO and 190 prisoners left in the
re penitentiary and on the State farms.
(1 Other State prisoners are working
ir on ehaingangs in various counties
ty and are in the reformatories,
t- The paroles and pardons were
?r mailed from the governor's office
Wednesday night. It is presumed
iy that all of them reached the proper
n authorities in time for the favored
is convicts to be liberated on Thanksts
giving day.
)f Since assuming office in 1911, the
s, governor has exercised executive
;o clemency in 1,430 cases. A hundred
>d or two of these were duplications,
I- prisoners having been paroled or
ie their sentences commuted and then
i. pardoned. It is conservatively es)f
timated that the governor has re'.eass
ed 1,200 convicts serving sentences
ie since he was elected.
)f The six prisoners paroled from the
)f penitentiary yesterday were: William
e Clark, alias "Rabbit." Charleston;
t- Lizzie DeLoach, Barnwell; Claude
h Blessen. Abbeville; Alexander Chaniy
bliss, alias Alexander Chalmers, MaI.
rion; John T. Crump, Dillon, and
e Harry Dean. Spartanburug. General
g Washington, Abbeville, was released
e from the Reid State farm and Daniel
e Sheppard, Beaufort, from the reforme
atorv. All of them were given a suit
!S of clothes and railroad fare each to
d their homes, the expenses being
d borne by the penitentiary. .
>f There was a slight "miscue" in
the paroling of W. T. Jones, of Union,
e convicted of murder with recommen>r
dation to mercy and sentenced to
>f life imprisonment. Jones has been
in the Union county chaingang for
if several months, the county paying
e the penitentiary a per diem for his
's services. Wednesday night the gova
ernor mailed Jones' parole to one
e of the prisoner's friends in Union.
>f Jones, however, could not be rett
leased until the penitentiary authorin
ties were notified that he had been
r- paroled, as he was still under their
control. The matter was straightened
out by a duplicate of the parole
n granted Jones being sent to the penk
itentiary yesterday,
o George Nichols, the circus em
ploy convicted of the murder of
is young Paul Williams, of Columbia,
in 1910, was at the Lexington coun=
tv chaingang under similar eondiy
tions to those under which W. T.
Jones was on the Union county chainlf
gang. c
ir John E. Hough, of Kershaw, convicted
of murder and sentenced to be
ir hanged, whose sentence was corns'
muted to life imprisonment in 1913,
is confined in the State penitentiary,
8 where, under the further commutad
tion of his sentence to five, years
d Wednesday, he has a little over three
years to serve.

t- Blue-Back Speller Wins in X. C.
e
r. The Observer found more than orlt
dinarv pleasure in the last week's is>r
sue of that twice-a-week source of
:e pleasure, the North Wilkesboro
>f Hustler, for it contained a detailed
is account of a battle royal of spellers,
11 participated in by the Wilkes county
educational association. The quese
tion at stake was whether the Bluete
back is the best speller to be adopted
d in the schools. Laymen vociferated
d that it is. while three professionals,
te all superintendents of schools, combated
the idea. But the Blue-back
;d won out, as it should have done. The
3. matter was under debate for two
l- hours and thirty minutes, and the
l- affirmative side seems to have got
y. into the sympathy c* the judges by
a playup on the moral effect of the
Blue-hack through its pages of fables,
ie as well as on its real merits as an
authority on the purely proper way
m to handle the vexatious intricacies of
the words in the English language.
3, The Blue-back always wins in spellh
ing contests; it should he an easy
winner in all discussions where its
d merits are at stake.?Charlotte Observer.
