'Physicians hold Little Hope. Greenville, Dec. 18.-Petitions have been circulated in Greenville with the ahn of appealing to Governor Manning to grant a parole or pardon to George W. Tidwell, who is serving a sentence of seven. years in the state peniten tiary for manslaughter. lie was twice convicted of manslaughter when tried for the murder of 1:nntett Walk er, having appealed to the Supreme court from the verdict of the first trial. lie has already served about a year in the penitentiary. Tidwell has been desperately ill, according to a story in the Columbia State. Ills condition Saturday night and several dlays last week entertained little hope for his recovery. While a goodly number of signa tures were aflixed to the petition to be presented to Governor Manning for a pardon it is understood that certain otlicials connected with the state are not, at present, in synmpathy with any move that may be started to secure clenency for the Clinton traveling man. Tidwell was first tried for murder in the sessions court at Greenville, in May, 1914, two months after young Walker was shot to death at the Caroina mill office, he was convicted of Inanslaughter and sentenced by Judge .ioe Mauldin to twelve years im prisonmnent. Attorneys gave notice o an appeal, and in the mneanwhilc (;or ernor Blease comnInuted Tidwell's sen tence to seven years. The Supreme court ordered a new trial on the ground that certair testimony offered by the prosecution relative to Tid well's wife was irrevelant, as the Tid well womnan did not testify. A year later, Tidwell was tried again in the samne court aid the Jury this time found hin guilty of man slaughter, but recomnmnended him to the Iercy of the court. A sentence of seven years was Ilnposed. While another notice of appeal was pending Tidwell was out on bond in the sum of $10,000 which has been justified by citizens of Laurens and Clinton. lie was later sought for oni a charge of violating the Mann white slave act and was arrested at Biloxi, Mississippi, after William C. Woods had been detained on a sililar charge. Mrs. Tidwell was held for complicity and as a witness in the cases against both Tidwell and also Woods. Woods was convicted and was given a light sentence, while Tidwell entered a plea I of guilty, it was reported and later withdrew this plea and was acquitted. lie was then turned over to South Car olina authorities and was brought back to Greenvil1e al, then taken to the penitentiary at Colurnbia.-News.

The authoress is iterested in a va cnition school, for which she brings over from New York a traiiied teacer, a suggestive enterprise along the line of village Iuiprovemnent. The school is conditeted at the village library and in Quillcote barn, which, by the way, is quite the iost wonderful pIlace about Quillcote, the writer's country home. here barn dances are held at which Mrs. Wiggin herself calls out the or ders for the "square lan'es" and also in the barn authors' readings and musi cals are given (luring the summek-.

There is mutting here, bright cre tonne hangings at the wind.ows, a big closet for working tables and iaterials and eighteen or twenty simail chairs, the elder chilidren ilowing over into the adjoining library roon, since they are big enough (with sonie swinging of short legs) to occupy seats illtendedl for their elders.

In Guilleote barn on Thursday after noons there Is i gathering of the clans for singinlg, games, marching and tra ditional folk plays, all thei under the direction of the trained teacher. "If village imnprovemnent begis any where," so Mrs. Wiggin says to casual visitors, "it certainly begins at the be ginning. If this village Is to live at all or hold its own an1d thrive It will do so by force of these budding citizens.
