The State is the poorer for his passing. Peace bo to his SOUl.?Gaffney Ledger. Rebuke for Please. The verdict of guilty returned by the jury in United States Hist riet Court last evening against the Pal mers and Belchor is a distinct rebuke for Governor Please. who pardoned those people after they had served a short time for their crime. As is known J. 11. Palmer, Charles; II. Palmer, his son. Lou Bolchor, his daughter, and Robert Belcher, Ills j grandson, were tried in the state court at Walhalla for the murder of W. P. F. Corhln, a revenue ofllcor. All four weil- convicted. .?. B. Pal mer was sentenced to servo six years in the penitentiary, Lou Bclchbr eight years. Charles Palmer seven years and Robert Belcher lite. .1. p. Palmer's sentence was suspended be cause of his old OgO. Qovornor Please last year commut ed the sentences of Lou Bolchor and Charles P. Palmer from eight and sev en years respectively to twenty-two months, which time they have served. As soon as this action was taken by the Qovornor, the Federal government took the matter up, being unwilling to see those who had a hand in the slay ing of a federal ofllclnl get off so lightly by reason of the action of a governor. And now these parties have been convicted in the Federal court and will have to serve their sentences any way. That twelve men of the state decided they had not been punished sufficiently Is a rebuke for Mr. Please. The question naturally arises: Have all of his pardons been granted as carelessly as this one? If It were possible for twelve men to pass upon each of the pardons granted by the chief executive how many of them would be approved? As we sec it the action taken by the Federal government in this ense. which was exceedingly unusual, was a rebuke to the governor and the ver dict of twelve citizens of the state that these people had not been sufficiently punished was an ever greater one.?

The ladies of the city served the annual dinner to the old veterans of the county in the Traynham Guards armory Saturday. A large number of the old soldiers were here, probably about eighty, and a pleasant day was had of it. The ladies had prepared a very bountiful dinner, to which was done full justice by the entire "com mand". Because some of the Clinton veterans were delayed on account of a wreck, the dinner was not served until about one o'clock. Hut after the good things were put before them and the dinner over, a vote of thanks was given the ladies, the rebel yell be ing given to add zest to the thanks. During the afternoon the soldiers gathered at various peaces In the court house and discussed the old times. A few stories and a few songs were sung. A feature of the afternoon was the singing of Veteran John B. Jones, his favorite piece being "Richmond's a Hard Road to Travel." Towards evening the veterans left for their homes to return again on Memorial Day, May 10th. Leveret! Furniture Co.

To own something which everyone else recognizes as supremely desireablc helps mightily to make life better worth living. Ownership of a motor car confers a distinction of this sort. But the distinction is in finitely greater when that motor car belongs to a family that has class, reputation, history. To own a champion motot car should be the aim of every wise buyer. It's pleasant to know that a champion motor car is not necessarily an expensive one. You can buy an F-M-F "30'' for $1100 or a Flanders "20" for $800. Kach is the champion of its class. The motoring world is still ringing with the marvelous feat of the three K-M-F "30" cars that ninished one, two, thrccn in the Tideman Trophy race at savannah?the biggest event of the year for cars of that class. The setting of nine new world's marks for the smaller class by the Flanders "20" at Indianapolis is a speed feat unique in the season's records. More convincing still is the satisfactory service these cars arc doing in the haflds of more than 50,000 owners, all over the world. An E-M-F- "30" or Flanders "20" is the sort of car its owner likes to talk about. Studebaker Corporation Detroit, Michigan SWYOERT & TEAQUE, Agents, Laurens, S. C.
