He had been sentenced to two years in the State Penitentiary. Two daughters of his family, who were . tried with him, were also sentenced r to terms of imprisonment, but the Judge had said that he would recommend ex outive clemency in their cases. It was learned that Governor Blease had paroled not only the two woman convicted in the case, but had paroled old Wash himself. Tnere was a petition circulated in Conway asking for executive clemency in behalf of these negroes. The old negro, who was killed, is said to have been a faithful hand, always true to his employees, and be was counted as a good negro by the while people who knew bim. Public seuliment in that section of Horry seemed to have been strong against those who were responsible fer his death, and many expressions of criticism were heard of the Governor's act in granting cltmencv ^ before these defendants had ever r been committed to the penitentiary ^ Catherine Moore, the wife of Wash Moore, is very old it is said, and the Judge sbowed a strong tendency to 1 ^ Uam f ha ibe easy \yitn ner, auu us iu UCI IIUV I sentence bad been suspended by the Judge.

D N Barron of the Clemson Collego extention works will be in charge of the train. Professor Barron states that owing to circumstances oveu which, they had no control, the date of starting the train has been delayed and it did not start out over the State until the first gf this week. Trie following announcement has been made by Mr Barron: ' Since the last notice of this traiu was given to the public another car nas been added thereto by Winthrop college. This car will be filltd with and exhibit of household conveniences and should prove quite an attraction and of educational value. It has also been'found possible to add more stock to the equipment of the live stock car so this feature will bo especially complete. "The visit of this train should be of particular interest to the boys of the various corn clubs of the state and it is expected that they will turn out in forces. Therefore, special work along the line of corn judging and cultivation will be given by Prof Napier and the train will also be accompanied by Prof C B Hadden, who is now in charge of the boys' corn club work in this state, working under the joint direction of Clemson college and the United States farm demobstration work.

One day is all the time that can be allowed at a single point and we want to urge all who can to be on hand promptly so as to get the greatest benefit out of the train possible, Sweet Home Items.

When I finished visiting the schools, I began to travel among the corn club boys and have been over about one-third of the county, hoping that within the next two or three weeks to see all the other nnres. There are more boys in the corn club this year than there were last and they seem to be full of interest anc' good rivalry. They have prepared their acre carefully and are careful about the cultivation and application of fertilizers. It is interesting to walk ovor the different acres of the boys and see how they have planted and are cultivating. No two boys are working their crops the same way. Last year the boys raised 8500 bushels, fodder, peas and experience were not counted. This year the prospects are good notwithstanding thd dry weather, aud witn average seasons, I think the boys will outstrip the yield of last year. So far I have not seen a piece of corn planted on the old stylo. I think that the corn club boys have helped to revolutionize the plan of planting corn among ihe farmers. One progressive farmer said that the boys had brought about such a change in his community that he thought that tne yield of corn would be at least 500 bushels more. S. H. Brown Wins Fight for Life.
