V WILL NOT HANG. Sentences Altered in the Case of Murderers by GOVERNOR HtWVARH For Qood and Siiffici>nt Reasons. Luke Gray Reprieved Until Last Day of Month and William Gibbs' Sin* tmce C? minuted Refused to Respite Marcus Within the b rdirs of South Caro Una, savs The State, three men wcrt to have been haiiR d Friday, three men to have paid the penalty of the old Mosaic law?"an eve for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." O' these three only one wsh kwulik Iruo eternity, for the others havo had their sentences altered, one temporarily, it is true. The strangest part of the Incident is that the t.vro men whose deaths have been deferred are negroes, while he who was handed was a white man. Thin is a tribute to tho State and a refutation of the slurs so often cast by alien lips upon the justice of the courts of the Palmetto commonwealth Thursday the governor on the advice of tho board c f pardons, reprieved v.ntil August'31, Luke Gray, a negro murderer of Aiken county, and com muted to life imprisonment the sentence of William Glbbs, also a mur derer, whoie crime was committed in Georgetown county. In both instances, the chief ex1 cutlve was guided by strong recommendations and the urgent advice of the board of pardons, lie declined to Interfere with the course of the law In regard to William Marcus the Oharlestou murderer. Toe change in the sentence of Gray was made because bis attorneys claim to bave mitigating circumstances which will, they are confident, luduce the parduia board to recvimmend adtf inite alteration In his sentence. The ifntthrtiMF h Q l rnnrlauorl 1 hiu wun r\nln W.i.o uu.jr at the instance of the pardon board's advice and the solicitation of various citizens of Aiken, among whom are numbered many prominent names. Two weeks' time will be given in whicn these mitigating circumstances, if there are any, are to be shown, or else the man will be hanged on the last day of the month. The governor will write the petitions that this rulling must be oomplled with and that while ne feels that Gray is a murder. er, he grants the reprieve because the man is a friendless negro and because the pardon board so recommended. Trie attorneys who assisted the solicitor are fighting any commutation. Their version of the killing is that Gray asked Clifford Woodward, a white man of Montemorencl, what he had said to Gray's wife during the mornirg hours. Gray, according to their story, said nothing and adv&noed toward the negro with his hands in the front pockets of his trousers, when the negro, backing away, killed the white man with a shotgun which he oarrled. Of course thlH statement is necessarily biased, 011 account of the position of those who make it.. The killing occurred on February 2, 19u5, and Gray was tried at the summer term of court. The negro had no at torneys, and B. F. Wyman and W. M. Smoak were appointed by the court. Son Oliver, the brother ln-law of Gray, and who was tried with him, was given a life sentence in the State prison T it* ? - - An win oe remembered that Grav Is the negro who walked l^to Governor Hey ward's ctlloe and surrendered, saying he had killed a whiie man down in Aiken. "William Glbbs,.who, it seems, killed Ned Anderson by slabbing him on April 2 of this year, has been given a good recommendation as an honest, hard working negro, and an entirely reverse oharaotur was given to Ned Anderson, colored, the nan whom he killed. M?ny prominent o" /. ms of Georgetown, Among them Mi. S. M Ward, testified avid wrote that Ander Son was a bully aud & desperado of the worst ijpe. Judge Watts recommended the altCTAtUh of the sentence io life imprLoument. Mr. Lewis O'Bryan, Glbbs' attorney, has been unceasing In his efforts to secure a change In the sentence. But Marcus bad to die. This r ur derer who so brutally slew with an U e pick a trusting woman who lived with him and who bJieved that he had no other wifo, paid for the t.wfnl deed committed on the sands by the seashore. The g. V3rnor received another telegram Thursday, purporting to be from Marcus' v ifeln Cincinnati, or rather written in lor Interest. If the telegram be hnna tide it Is only another indication of the "ruling passion." The dispatch read: Governor D. 0. Ileyward, Columbia, S. 0. Lizzie Marcus has known two days only awful plight of her husband, father of her live tots. Penniless, friendless; she could not go Immediately. Have pity, Governor. Don't deny her chanoe to say last good-bye. IIiv. Joseph Jasin, 325 Clinton. As all South Carollnans know, | there was never a more humane or feeling executive than Governor Hey* ward, but in this instance, although he and the pardon board have given the matter full consideration, he does not feel that he oould interfere.

John lt*ndolr\ the great rival of the im mortal Kmtuokian, was equally hap py before his constituents, nearly all of whom were slaveholding farmers.

The greatest of all tlie teachers, he "who spskj as never man spake," drew nearly all of his Imagery and storels from farm life. Ho was reared on a farm and knew all about the simple agriculture 0? people and period, which consisted largely of grape growing, Interspersed with a few cereals and small herds of goats and sheep. Tnus we tiod the parables and notable savings oolored with allusions to the shepherd, the vineyard, the lost sheep, the husbandman, the 11 wers vnd trees peculiar to Pales Lino.

It was to the multitude on the 1.111 side from a boat that had been pusher tlT the shoro that the celebrated parable of the sower was delivered. Probably as he talked a farmer was sowing the grain jn full sight of the speake; and the people. IIow natural, therefore, to lift forth a hand toward him and say: "Heboid, a sower went fortl to sow." Simply, easily and natural ly, the thoughts of the hearers were led up from what was commonplace and everyday to what was new ann eternal. Jesus recognized that all o life Is a parable. When we consider the marvelous application made o! the simple peasant life of Galilee, wt are constrained to winder wnat teachings he would draw from the complex civilization of today. IIow electricity, wireless telegraphy, steam and the modern city, with Its wonderful buildings, wtuld be made eloquent with his teachings of the higher things of the spirit. It is the otlloe of the parable to Invest the material with tht spiritual meaning, but no imagery h so suitable for this purpose as that drawn from rural sceues and the surr jundlnKft of farm life. The fate of .he sow,, graia teaches an agricultu ral as wr]i as a moral lesson.

The Charleston Pont say* last week a party of railroad men from tht Southern railway went down to Cole's Island, a smMi strip of land near Kt&wah Islann. for a marooning trip.

Danncr Immediately called for help and Mr. Fritz Diers, a car in speetor for the Southern, who was fishing in a boat nearby, sprang to ids assistance. It was a peculiar oolrcldence, hut just as Mr. Diors j imped from his boat Into toe stream the porpoise darled undor him. It was very large and Mr Dlers landed pump < n h's back The sight was uighly ludicrous. Mr. Dlers sooofctd along at a fvst clip through the water seated on the hack of the porpoise, whose body cuu.d be plainly seen. Had the occasion been less serious, the speclaturs would have been re minded of the story of Arlon, the fa mous old Greek musician. According lo the legends of the ancients, Arlon was on a voyage lo Corinth when thi ivorlclous seamen determined to slay him, but the god Apollo warned him In a dream. So ho played on his lute and a number of dolphins, or porp its ea, charmed by the sweet music, aa-jemblcd round the vessel. Arlon leaped on the back of oDe of then and was carried safely to Corinth. Mr. D ers, however, was not desir ous of proving the delights of porpoise transportation, tie had no iota of making a journey on the back of a iolphln, ho he slid into the water at soon as he could collect his faculties Cupfc. Danner, during this time, was in a dangerous condition. He was almost drowned when help came, to him and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was taken from the water and revived. lie is still quite unwell and unable to be at his work. The clay before, Thursday, wltnessed another adventure that almost terminated seriously. Bai j mln Hernandez, a 15 year old boy, the son of the owner of Cole's Island, Mr. R >bert F. Ilernandtz, was swimming in the oreek alone. Mr. Charles E. M.lll^an was tisuing from a whan that is used as a river landing for small craft. Suddenly Mr. MUllgan heard young Ilernanoi z shout "Shark 1 shark ! Save me P Hi jumped in the water for the boy and the shatk turned from the larl and mane for him.

They are dispensary counties. In Saluda county he addressed a crowd of about half the above number and he saw 25 or 30 drunk men and he was "told that there was enough blind tiger liquor in the bushes to make the balance drunk.
