THROUGH SUPREME COURT FIRST
Columbia, April H. -Special: That
no further petition for pardon will
be presented until after the case has
gone through the Supreme Court, is
the latest development in the case of
the State against John J. Jones, of
Orangeburg. Governor Please re*
seived today a letter from W. C.
Wolfe, Fsq, of the Orangeburg law
firm of Wolfe & Berry, in which the
position of counsel for Jones was
let forth.
It had not been thought by the
Orangeburg counsel that the peti
tion for pardon from Kdgefield
would come so soon; a plea for Exec
utive clemency had not been sought
and Jones himself did not wish it.
As stated in today’s News and
Courier, a new petition was nipped
in the bud yesterday, but today’s
letter from Mr Wolfe to the Govern
or explains further the situation.
The case will be fought out in the
Supreme Court, states Mr Wolfe,
and then probably, in fact it is practi
cally certain an appeal for Executive
clemency will be made if the Sup
reme Court fails.
Jones was brought here following
his sentence and at the time it was
thought the appeal to the Court had
been abandoned, but such now ap
pears not be the case. Jven if a
petition is now presentee^Governor
Blease will not pardon Jones.

WOMAN’S DEPARTMENT
BY-
MISS H. E. MALONE
THAT WHICH IS OUR OWN.
W’hat is our most precious, our
most inalienable possession? Is it
not that in which we find the reason
of our being, and which we believe,
come what may, we can never* be
separated frjm namely, our indivi
duality? The cultivation of this
possession, which is so |>eculiarly our
share in the great estate of the
universe, ought to lie looked upon
as a sacred dutv. It is q sin against
ones owe soul to lead a life of make-
b? j?ve and of imitation.
“Insist on yourself,” says a_ wise
pie.
In reality it is our greatest glory
that we are different, every one cf
us, from everybody else. Why
should not our feeling, our thought,
our impulse to act, lie just as good
as any other persons? And la it
not reasonable to suppose that whm
we act on genuine convictKm and
impulse we shall get larger and
more direct results? Why should
we not do things in a fresh, new
way- in other words, • in our own
way?
It is because we do not look with
in, and when we do think of our-
woman addressing women—and it
is, assuredly, a much needed word
advice, for we are,.pr have been, on
the>hole. a generation of copyists.
The criticism applies to both sexes
—but it is only its application to
women that I am noting now. and
that it touches them rather sjiecif-
ically. there can be little doubt.
It is perhaps only the unusual
woman who deliberately cultivates
personality-who. as was said of the
famous Arthur Hugh Clough,
“always would do things of his own
free will, and not merely because
others did them.” The ordinary
woman exactly reverses this; and it
is her aim to find out as nearly
possible what other people are
going to think, say, and do, so that
all her own thinkings, sayings, and
doings shall conform as nearly as
possible to the general pattern.
There is no dread at. all of being
untrue to that self, the light of
whose life is the only lamp we have
to guide us- there is only the dread
of being the least bit “peculiar”-
of being different from other peo-
sevss, think too distrustfully, that
so many of as. all unwittingly, copy.
Anyone elses opinion is so much more
apt to be right than ours, her taste
so much more exquisite, her judg
ment so much sounder now this is
morbid, and at the same time we
feel deep down in our hearts that it
is not so, or if it is so, then all of
our own standards must be wrong;
but we act as if it were--and our
personal development is arrested.
It is so much easier to be imitative
tljan to be initiative!
Every woraan should ask herself
what her life means or may mean as
a peculiar and original, indeed a.
much needed contribution to the
sphere in which she moves. She
can npt le other than a nonentity
if she does not seek 1o express her
self —not only in great, but even in
the aggregate, we exert most in
fluence. But in order to do this she
must carefully cherish all that Ae
finds within herself of best and
highest; for she can not arise and
shine, if the light that is in her be-
d ark ness.
