Got Paid lor Beating.
We are printing in another coluirn
today a story clipped by a reader of
The Record from its issued of November
27, 1913, in which The Fee
Dee Advocate pave the particulars
' of the pardon of Joe E Hinson, eon\icted
of aggravated assault and
battery in Marlboro county, before
Hinson had begun to serve his sentence.
Hinson was a rural policeman,
who was charged "with shooting
Walter Pruitt, beating E B Barber
over the head with a pistol,
punching 0 B Moye and Mrs Moye
in the stomach with pistols while
Mrs Moye was in a delicate condi- j
tion, entering the Moves' room and
lying across their bed and child in a
otunor hofnnlinc their bed !
clothing and room and cursing and
abusing Mrs Barber, and other outrageous
conduct during a night
which he spent at the home of E B
Barber."
Hinson was tried only on one of
the indictments, convicted and his
pardon prevented further procedure.
Since this story of Hinson's pardon
was first told by The Pee Dee
Advocate and reprinted in The Columbia
Record Governor Blease has
made his report of his reasons for J
pardoning Hinson in his annual par-1
don message for 1914. Turning to!
page 172 of the "Reports and Reso-!
lutions of the General Assembly" j
for 1914, which includes the Gov-i
? i - 1-- ii
ernor s report 01 ms paruon recuru i
for 1913, we find that Hinson was)
"sentenced to serve six months upon
the public works," without the al-1
ternative of a fine.
It seems or was suggested by Governor
Blease that E B Barber, the
victim of Hinson's assault, had an
indemnity bond of some sort against
accident, maiming, or the like, from
which it would appear that he received
$700 because of the injuries
received. At least this is the ex- j
cuse Governor Blease vaguely offers:
in his report for pardoning Hinson. j
Governor Blease says:
In view of the fact that the
prosecutor received the money
above mentioned, and the defendant
having lost his position
of rural policeman on account
of the conviction, 1 think his
punishment has been more
than sufficient, and that the
prosecutor has been fully
fnr til a hpntlnor thflt He
got.
Here, then, is the proposition
coolly offered by the Governor of
South Carolina, that a rural policeman
can beat un a citizen, and if
the citizen, by reason of his injuries,
receives an indemnity from some
accident or other insurance company
the convicted man is to go free
because, in the Governor's opinion,
"the prosecutor has been fully
paid for the beating he got."
This logic, of course, eliminates
the State as a party to all criminal
prosecutions. Crimes in South Carolina
are henceforth private affairs
between the persons concerned. If
a man is set upon and beaten up
and is paid for it, it cures everything
so far as the btate is concerned.
And the man who does the beating
up is exonerated even though he
does not pay the money. He is exonerated
if his victim receives compensation
on an accident insurance
policy for which he has paid his
own money.
By the same logic, any man who
carries life insurance in South Carolina
may be murdered with perfect
impunity. If his family receive the
money on his policy they are fully
paid for the death of the husband
and father and the murderer should
go scot free.
How long is South Carolina to
have such idiotic drivelings spread
upon her records as the output of
her highest executive office??The
Columbia Record.
Seranton Sketches.
Scranton, July 28:?At the last
meeting of Scranton Council of the
Junior Order American Mechanics
the following officers were elected
to serve the ensuing term:
C E Graham, C; J M Parker, V C;
M H Anderson, Chaplain; B B Myers,
R S: I M Gamble, F S; W A
Myers, Treas; N M Graham, A R S;
S T Kirby, Con; A W Ward, Warden;
W H Rodgers, 1 S; C D Sturgeon,
0 S; E L Lynch, Trustee 18
months; S J Kirby, Deputy C; W S
Lynch, C Physician; J M Myers, Jr,
Past C.
The latter has been Councilor
SJIlL't* IX1C llidLi luiiv/n ui twvr vvuii^Ji
here about 18 months ago. In appreciation
of his services, he was
made Junior Past Councilor, and
presented with a beautifnl emblematic
pin as the gift of the Council
by Vice Councilor J M Parker in a
few well chosen words. Surprised
as he was, Mr Myers, responded
very appreciatively to the presentation.
This Council is in a growing and
prosperous condition; and the members
are looking forward for recruits
in the near future.
And yet no rain. Three weeks
ago crops looked promis,v.g indeed,
but the dry weather has parched
corn especially. IMG. _
DON'T TAKE CALOMEL
HERE'S A BETTER REMEDY.
Taking calomel is mighty risky
and oftentimes dangerous.
You ought to get along without
taking calomel yourself or giving it
to your family, when you can get a
remedy that takes its place. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an agreeable
vegetable liquid that starts the liver
to action just as surely as calomel
does. But, unlike calomel, Dodson's
Liver Tone does not stimulate the
; liver too much. It gives relief gently.
Calomel acts so strongly that it
may leave you worse than you were
at first, and calomel also sometimes
causes salivation. Dodson's Liver
TV>nt wnrk-c tppII and naver harms.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone is sold for fifty cents by Dr W
V Brockington. It always has given
such perfect satisfaction that your
money will be given back to you
with a smile if you buy a bottle and
are not perfectly satisfied with it in
every way.

Messrs B E Clarkson of Kingstree

Good Reason lor His Enthusiasm.
When a man has suffered for several
days with colic,diarrhoea or other
form of bowel complaint and is
then cured sound and well by one or
two doses of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as
is often the case, it is but natural
that he should be enthusiastic in his
praise of the remedy, and especially
is this the case of a severe attack
when life is threatened. Try it when
in need of such a remedy. It never

Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty of evidence of their worth.
W R White, S Boundary St, Manning,
S C, says: "At one time my
kidneys were so weak that I had
but little control over the kidney
secretions. I suffered constantly
from backache and pains across my
loins and mornings I was so lame
and sore that it was hard for me to
dress. If I sat down for a little
while, I had to lift myself by main
force. Nothing ever helped me until
I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They :
restored my kidneys to a normal
condition and removed all the symptoms
of complaint. I can confirm
the statement I gave some years
ago regarding Doan's Kidney Pills.
I use them occasionally and they always
help me."
