The negro wai found under a house and was sup posed to be trying to steal chickens Diligent search tails to show an: other cause for the act. - About dark Green went to th< house of Charlie Matthews in th< Cowards neighborhood and crawle< | under it. The men were away ant V the women members of the famil: " * were alarmed. They sent for Rura Policeman G. H. Jordan who arrest ed the negro and handcuffed him Then he said that he had gone undei the house to steal chickens. Whei ^ Policeman Jordan secured Foste: Lynch's automobile to bring the ne ? gro to town and got Magistrate R FM.

Coroner J. L. Gunn was notifie< this morning to go to Cowards t< hold the inquest over the body, whicl had been left hanging in the tre< all night. The boss of the specia gang had tried at one time to cu ^ ' the body down and bury it but wa: advised not to interfere until tin coroner came.

Xo attempt has yet been made t< arrest any of the party that migh have been engaged in the attempt a lynching. Green is said to nave com* from an Indiana town and to hav< ^ borne a bad reputation, but no om has yet pointed anything definiti i > against him. The Kaiser's Social Gift. ______ That William of Germany has th? power of almost fascinating prett; much everybody with whom he come into personal touch is being mad< | clearer every day. In the qualit; ;* of impressing himself upon thosi who are permitted to see him. th< kai6er appears to be in a class b: himself among foreign potentates I The training required for the exact f ing business of being a modern kinj ' must develop tact to a high degre< [ of perfection . along with gracious ness of manner and the capacity o 1 taking an intelligent interest in j * vast number of subjects. Besides I when one occupies the loftiest socia ' position all the world looks up, an< it is within ordinary human capacit; L to speak gently when looking dowi * from a height unattainable to others But the kaiser must have mor< than the ordinary hall mark of hi training and caste, else people lik? American exchange professors wouli L not be practically a unit" in laudinj g ' him almost to the point of reverence The learned ones in this countr; R who have never enjoyed the intima cy with the German ruler that ha been vouchsafed to their travelini brethren have expressed scant respec for that potentate's ideals am methods. A large majority of then desire to see the downfall of Prus sian militarism, whereas most of th< exchange pprofessors do not mak' much effort to conceal either thei ; hope or their belief that it will tri [ umph. Of course, it is easy to say tha when an eminent teacher is takei away from his lecture room and per mitted to appro*-h almost on term of equality the German super-head master, he is flattered and moved t an extent that may permanently af ffect his judgment. It must be ; thrilling experience to talk to a mai who for so many years has contrivei to impress the world as possessed o extra-normal qualities, and who wa esteemed to be able to wield a wea pon of military and social efficienc such as the world has never seen When such a man unbends as hos to any normal man and drops a wori or two about world politics, why 4 then, the favored one had need b H an extraordinary creature ever to ge over the experience.?Richmom , Times-Dispatch.

BABBLE FOR BAXKKK. . ('leniency Extended to J. A. Black- I i 2 welder, of Lexington County. | 11 Columbia, Dec. 5.?The governor I 51 yesterday granted a parole to J. A. j L ; j Black welder, who was convicted in : fei - September, 1913, on the charge of Ii 5; violating the State banking laws, i ^ -I When Blackwelder was convicted he'f . I was sentenced to pay a fine of $ 1,- j ^ i 000 or serve one year on the Lexing- 1 ton chaingang or in the State penii tentiary. Later the governor com- A 5 muted the sentence to a fine of $500 p i or one year. | i 1 The governor paroled Blackwelder; . uppn the following condition:"Parole 1 the' said J. A. Blackwelder until E. - H. Rhame, Jr., is prosecuted and a . verdict of guilty or not guilty has r been rendered by a petit jury for his; , i (E. H. Rhame, Jr.'s) defalcation in | r the sum of $31,759.01 to the Bank - of Sumter, Sumter. S. C., of which . bank the Hon. Richard I. Manning, i was the president at the time of the _ defalcation." | r ? L Xo Sun>rLse to Lexington. ? Lexington, Dee. 6.?The parole , granted to J. A. Biackwelder, for3 mer president of and prime mover . in the organization of the Bank of | I Chapin. located in the Tich Dutch i Fork section of this county, by the governor yesterday, did not come as I; a surprise to the people of Lexington, a 51 The conditions, however, under ' ij which .Mr. Biackwelder is to be re31 lieved of serving, or complying with, i the sentence of the court, have ere- I t ated much comment. I 5 Several weeks ago the governor I a commuted the sentence of the con- p victed ex-banker to one year's im- {J . prisonment in the State penitentiary . or to pay a fine of $500 to the clerk t of court of Lexington county, on or before the first day of January, 1915. 3 Blackwelder. it is said, secured t funds from the Bank of Chapin, the t bank which he organized, while preset ident of the institution, to the e amount of nearly $5,000 in violation s of the State banking laws. His was ? said to have been the first case of the kind ever tried in the courts of South Carolina, and the attorneys interested fought the case with de- ^ termination and zeal. Appealing , e from the verdict of the Lexington county jury, the case was carried to 5 the State supreme court, which triB bunal, a few months later, handed down a decision affirming the vere diet of the circuit court. Soon after2 wards' the governor commuted the ' sentence to one year at hard labor, '* or pay a fine of $500 on or before' 1 January 1, 1915. ? Blackwelder, nevertheless, has two = B more sentences resting against him,' both growing out of the same! f charges, and both cases, is is sup-| 1 posed, are now in the supreme court. | '' at the September term of court, 1 this year, Mr. Blackwelder appeared j * in court, after the jury had been dis-; y missed, together with one of his j 1 counsel, the Hon. Robert H. Welch,! * of Columbia, and entered a plea of B guilty to both indictments. Judge s George E. Prince, of Anderson, sen-j e tenced the prisoner to serve a period i * of six months at hard labor, or in j " lieu thereof pay a fine of $500 in j !* each case. Mr. Welch /immediately! y gave notice of appeal to the higher | court. s So far as is known here, Blackwel-1 ? der has never "made good" any of; t the funds belonging to the Bank of! * Chapin, alleged to have been defal1 cated in violation of the State bank ing laws. So far as is known, tnese j i e two cases have never been heard by j | e the State suppreme court, and just; r what action, or the final outcome of j the cases will be the result is a mat-' ter of mere conjecture on the part j * of those who have watched the pro- j 11 cedure from the beginning of the: charges, which 5t the time created s widespread comment in banking circles all over the State. 0 Mr. Blackwelder is a former resi-; dent of Newberry, where he was1 a largely associated in business enter-1 a prises. At the present time, how- ( ^ ever, he is said to be a resident of ' North Carolina. s It will be recalled that the governor was the attorney for Blackwel- _ y der, and made the first motion for| l* a continuance of the trial upon the 1 ground that he had been elected ^ governor, and that he felt that in * justice to himself as well as to Mr. e Blackwelder, he had better withdraw * from the case, stating at the time J that he might be called upon to pass upon the case after he became governor.
