MERCY EXTENDED TO 79 CRIMINALS Governor Blease Releases Many Convicts. 25 LIFE TERMERS RECEIVE CLEMENCY Governor Mease Breaks'All Ills For mer Records when He Turned Loose Almost Eighty Prisoners Christmas Eve. Severul from Laurens County. ?.\. Crimes of the 79. The 79 men to whom Gover nor Blease has extended execu tive clemency as a Christmas present were convicted of the following crimes: Murder (life imprisonment 17 Burglary (life imprisonment 5 Assaulting women (life im prisonment . 2 Arson (life imprisonment). . 1 Manslaughter.28 False pretense. 1 Assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature .. 4 Assault and battery with In tent to kill. 3 Bigamy. 1 Larceny of live stock . . 1 Arson (less than life impris onment' . 1 Housebreaking and carbreak ing. 7 Larceny from the person . . 1 Grand larceny. 3 Highway robbery. 1 Violating the dispensary law 1 Total.79 Columbia, . Dec. 24.?Using his power of parole and pardon, Gov. Coleman L. Blease has granted exec utive clemency to 79 convicts as his compliments of the Christmas season. Some of the pardoned and paroled convicts were serving sentences in the state penitentiary, others were on the various county chalngangs and | others had already been paroled and the pardon was granted simply in order to restore citizenship. The of fenses for which the convicts were pardoned consist, Borne of murder and others all the day down to minor crimes. The convicts were released this morning, in time to reach their homes and spend Christmas day with their relatives. Probably the most interesting case in the whole batch is that of J. Ches ter Kennedy, white, of Barnwell county, convicted of the murder of a man by the name of Ussery, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. The killing of Ussery occurred during a carnival week in Barnwell, and excited much Interest throughout the state. Two negroes arv now serving life sentences for this same offense, and one of the reasons assigned for the pardon of Kennedy Ly the governor is the difference in statements of these two negroes on their two trials nnd since, Kennedy having beer, convicted largely on their testimony. Alex Garrell, a white man, of Flor ence county, convicted In 1896, along with a woman, for the murder of a man was paroled. The woman was previously granted clemency by a for mer governor. Samuel Randolph Way, of Colum bia, who conducted a drugstore on Main street, and was convicted of ob taining money under false pretense from his wife, was pardoned. Robert Chestnut, of Orangeburg, a white man, convicted of killing a man concerning domestic relations, was paroled. Louis Cantrell and Charles M. Galnes, of Ooonee county, convicted along with Charles L. Angel, of the murder of a farmer of that county, and sontenced to life imprisonment in tho state penitentiary, were parol ed on the condition that they leave] the state within 24 hours and never return. Angel was paroled last year. A record was set in the number of persons receiving clemency at one time when Governor Donaghey, of Arkansas, exercised clemency in 360 cases last week. The number receiv ing clemency at the hands of Gov. evnor Blease this Christmas is the largest numer ever turned loose at one time in the history of the state, and is double the number turned loose at any one time by the governor heretofore. Among those pardoned or paroled, were three from Laurens county, as follows: XIpse Herbert, convicted at the De cember, 1908, term of court, for Lart iens county, of manslaughter, and sentenced to ten years' Imprisonment upon the public works or In the state penitentiary Parolo granted, during good behavior, December 21, 1912. Charley Wright Fuller, convicted at the March, 1912, term of court, for Laurens county, of highway robbery. and sentenced to one year imprison ment on the public works of Laurens county. Parole granted during good behavior, December 24, 1912. Cleve Ellison, convicted at the Jan uary, 1908, term of court for Laurens county, of manslaughter, and sen tenced to six years imprisonment, was paroled during good behavior. $15,000,000 Loss on Eggs. The loss of the farmers of the Unit ed States from bad methods of pro ducing and handling eggs is estimat ed at $45,000.000 annually. It is also estimated that fl5.000.000 of this loss is due to blood rings. Every dollar of this loss from blood rings 1b directly preventable on the farm. Blood rings are a certain stage of chick development in the egg. Heat develops the germ until it be comes a blood ring. Blood rings often develop in the nest and in an unheated room in the house during hot summer weather. Blood rings cannot be produced in the infertile egg. Blood rings are troublesome only in hot weather. Infertile eggs are laid by hens that are not allowed to run with a male bird. A study of egg fertilization should quickly convince one that the infertile egg is the quality egg; therofore, pro duce it, by removing the male birds from the flocks, and realize more mon ey for better eggs. The removal of the male birds has absolutely no in fluence on the egg production. Bales* Farmers are nrgcd to adhere strict ly to the following rules in handling their poultry and eggs: 1. Keep the nests clean, provide one nest for every four hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice daily. 3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. 4. Market the eggs at least twice a week. 5. Sell, kill, or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. The above information and rules are sent out by the United States De partment of Agriculture, and we trust that Progressive Farmer readers will heed them. Forty-five million dollars Is too big a price to pay for the careless hand ling of eggs, and all this great loss falls upon the farmer. The "cracks" and "spots" and "dirties" detract from the price of every market egg sold, except the comparatively few that gj to special customers or under the spe cial trademark of some poultryman who has made a reputation for his product. It is quite possible for every read er of The Progressive Farmer to keep clean nests for his hens to lay in. The eggs can be gathered at least once, if not twice a day. They enn be kept in a cool place?not near the kitchen stove or where Uiey will be warmed.by the sunshine?after being gathered. And in most cases, they can be marketed at least once a week in winter and twice in summer. The parcels post will help here. Another rule we might add is, that when you find an old nest full of eggs, you do not send them to market, but keep them for home use. The rule to which we wish to call special attention, however, is No. 5. You are losing money every day you let male birds run with your laying hens, unless you wish the eggs for hatching. The hen3 lay fewer eggs when the males are present, and the/se eggs do not keep as well. Get rid of surplus males and keep the others away from hens, except when eggs are needed for hatching.
