PAIf,DONING POWIi Rteferring to this subject aind what The Herald and News had to say on it last week the State newspaper na:tk the following conriments: With the exc ption of his condpieti ous failure to enfore the dispensary law, no other phase of (;overnor" Mc Sweeney's adruni,tratioi hra, been opet( to criticism so inuch as his free i,e of) the pardoning power. The nuwspaper, of the State, even some very frieily to his excellency, have condemtnued hi course in this matter with inore or le severity. Itealizirg that it is not possi ble to accurately and fairly cormrmenrt on a case the details of which are not fully known, we have prceferred to say nothing rather than risk being urnjtr-t, realizing also that ant executive of h1: governor's amui3ble aLnd kirnld i-,psli Lion must find it hard to rosi,t ite touching appeals of wives and inother,. to say nothing of the biandisiiments of eloquent attorneys. In on'ly one or two Instances, therefore, where the facts happened to be known to u-, or where the injusticet ha licen patent have we passed crtit cion ipron the gov ernor's pardons. But a piaragraph recently i ppea ring in these columns referring to the policy adopted by Gov. Aycock, of North Carolina, in the ruat ter of pardon , ha, hit what is evidently a sore and touieh spot nearer horn A ftor' tuotrig what we said, the Newh erry Ileral arn.1 News says: 'Hlere follows what appeared in the Herald and News arl to which The State takes exception:' The beauty of this is that it is an editorial iii tie paper wvhomt: editor' i, the private secretary to (;ov.

It seens to us that a governor would welcome this propo-ed trelie'f, for thet granting or refu,ing of pardons eannor be a pleasant duty. It is t pity that, a big ihaily new paper like The State and the only morning piper publishitd at th' rap i tal of the State earn not ri:e ab2ovc pe1y, 'aloutlsieLs anl lislik's and dtisu,s any qu testion ont its mecr'its w itholut brinugiig in personal itiles.

We arie riot oppolsedI toi a bolar'd ofi pailrdos Its reqi ired by lthe cornsti t.ut,ion hutt really we 110 niot see ruchre good it could compjl isht becaiuse the con)rstit.ui Lion after all1 th rowts the respiontsiility for p)ardlons on the governor. We dei th ink It would 1)e a goodit th inrg to have the pectitions for prdron)s pwrinted, to geLher wvith the names of thtose wihl signedl the p)etition, and if this Is not) done at least notice that the petition i1 going to be filed sholdl 1)e pliishted. Bitt th is Is no new Idea wvith the gov ornor of Nor'th C4arolinair berause the matter has been Lw ice ptresenitedl to the. Mourth Carolina legislature. We have never undeli'rtkent to make any defense of Goy. MeSweeney's irs. of the p)ardloning p)ower' btecauise wc htave never believed It needied any and when the State newspaper rushes t( the conclusion that wvhat, we said was in any sense Intended to be a dlefernse of Gov. McSweeney It was never mtorr deluded in Its life. It was another east on the part of the State of jittirig up man of straw and knocking htrt dowr as the State is want to do. Since t,ht question of G*ov. McSweeniey has beer raisedl In this coinnectioni we can say that we have been with him now foi nearly three years arnd very intimtate ly associated andi in the matter of par dons he has always tried to find where the path of duty lcd arnd has -walkedi therein and the totuchhiig appleals of wives and mothers and the blandish' monits of oloqutent attorneys has hadl no weight in the performance of lhl duty as ho said It. Any mani who has a heart in him, and a man who has not is not fit to be governor, is obliged tc bug touched by the appeals of wives and mothers, but on the other hand Gov. M~cSweeney has held above all this the duty he owed the State and whenever he has been convinced that it, war rIght to grant the petition it has hbeen granted and when he felt it was not right it has been refused and thh course has been pursued regardless oi what The State or any other news paper may have to say on the subject, It was a matter with hisown conscience an,l his ollicial duty after careful int vt4igation of all the facts News paper criticism, friendly or unfriendly, and even the criticism of the great State newspaper itseIf hias cut no figure in the pardons which have been gi ant.ed. As a natter of fact if the records were carefully examined it will be fo nI that (Gov. M.lcweeney ha-t not imle-; freer ui of the parioning power than any of his predecessors. But lie nreecds no Ilefense along this line. AN EXPiLANATION. Some timie ago we announced In these colurtns that we would begin the pub Iication of atn afternoon daily newspaper in Newherry, and the proposed enter pri-se ,reemnedl to meet with the hearty endorse nent and co-operation of all our peoplcs. Whin we rnado this aanounce ment we had not yet made any arrange ments for getting telegraphic press dispatches, but, the announcement was made on the sipposItion that these dis patche+ cooId be gotten in Newberry ay well as in Greenville, Columbia, Spartanhr, ['lorence, and other towns where they are received by daily pa pers, and we can yet see no reason why [his should not lie so. But after some etcresponIde;ne with the various asrsoei atlm>ns which forniish these dispatches, we have nor, been able so fir to secure thtis service at, rates which are secured by papers in t.he town-i mentioned. In fact no paper couhl receive these dis pa .che s at the rates which have been olierel to us an<1 live. .\ daily paper without some te;le graph ic irews wouli be nothing ut a ithubu and it farce, and for the prtts ent at lea-,t, and for the reasons above mrtentione"d, We; will not be able to start our propoitsed daily.
