"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom MEN pronounce divine,
I find so much of "sin and blot?
' I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."
THURSDAY. DEC. 3. 1914.
The Selba^Bale Movement.
People are very much like a row
of bricks standing on end close together.
When one topples over it
hits the next, which strikes its
neighbor, and so 011 till the whole
row lies flat. Thus it is at present
in the business and financial world:
the former owes the merchant, the
merchant owes the banker, the
banker owes his correspondent, and
soon in an endless chain. When
business becomes like a stagnant
pool, with not a ripple on its surface,
every class and every occupation
suffers. But c;ist a pebble in
the form of a dollar into the stagnant
ptk)1 and the ripples extend over its
entire surface; keep up the exercise
of throwing dollars into the pool
and the waters clear up, the un- j
healthy scum of inertia disappears
and soon the waters become pure
and limpid. Every bale of cotton
sold now is a pebble cast into the
pool of business, if the proceeds be
applied to the seller's debts, just as
every pebble makes a ripple in the
lifeless dooI. One pebble does not
cause much of a ripple, hut when a
thousand or two are thrown in, the
waters Income so agitated as almost
to overflow the hanks and the stream
tarts moving.
It will be no <erious loss to the
individual who owes money to sell
a hale of cotton even at present
prices and apply the money on the j
debt he owes; whereas, if any considerable
number of those who are
holding their cotton do this, we believe
it would have a very appreciable
effect iu stimulating stagnant
trade conditions into renewed life
and activity.
People of all trades and ejasses
have very lil?erally and even enthu.
siastically supported the buy-a-bale
movement. Now, it seems nothing
more than reciprocity for the chief
recipients of this support and encouragement?the
debtor class, at
least?to sell a hale and pay their
most pre sing debt-.
The experiment is worth making,
at any rate.
The sell-a-bale movement is r;epially
supplanting the buy-a-bale
slogan. If a man owes his bale of
cotton to another and is holding it
for higher prices he is obviously unjust
to the man who trusted him.
It simply means that he is speculating
at the expense of his creditor.
Still one bale and get that much j
money in circulation, anyway.

? VIIV^J
negro nonuu mucu.
Tuesday evening just after dark,
the two neighborhoods in the Bloomingvale
section known as Hoghouse
and "Hell's Halfacre" were aroused
to a high pitch of excitement by the
shooting to death of a negro woman
named Sallie Scott, wife of James
Scott. There were no eye witnesses
to the tragedy other than the two
negro men, James Scott, husband of
the dead woman, and Ned Erown,
at whose hands the woman came to
her death, as found by the Coroner's
jury.
Brown, who is also a married man,
is a resident of "Hell's Halfacre",
while Scott lives in the Hoghouse
neighborhood. Both neighborhoods
are thickly settled by negroes, between
whom some rivalry exists.
At the inquest yesterday, held by
Coroner H U Kinder, Scott claimed
that his ife was shot by Brown
and Brow, swore that Scott did the
shooting. Sheriff Graham found a

chamber empty, which was indentified
at the inquest as belonging to
Scott. Both negroes are in jail here
to await the action of the grand
jury.
Dr Jacobs held a post mortem examination
and found that the ball
entered the woman's right breast
and coursed to the left, penetrating
the heart and lodging in the left side.

USUAL THANKSGIVING PRISON
DELIVERY-TWO RELEASED
FROM WILLIAMSBURG.
Columbia, November 25:?Over
one hundred convicts received freedom
at the hands of Governor Cole L
Blease this afternoon as a Thanksgiving
offering. The list includes
sixteen life termers, thirty-one serving
sentences for manslaughter, and
fifty-five serving terms of other
offenses, such as house-breaking and
larceny, assault and battery with intent
to kill, carrying concealed weapons,
violation of the dispensary law

law. This brings Governor Blease's
clemency record up to 1,430 pardoned,
paroled or sentences commuted
during his admistration of less than
four years. This leaves less than
one hundred prisoners in the State
penitentiary.
The most noted case in the list is
W T Jones, the Union county white
farmer, who was serving a life sentence
for the murder of his wife.
John E Hough, the Kershaw county
white man sentenced to be electrocuted
for the murder of his fatherin-law,
got his sentence commuted
to five years in the State penitentiary.
It will be recalled that the action
of the Governor in paroling Allen
Emerson of Anderson and R A
Richey of Abbeville played a prominent
part in the campaign of last
summer. Today the Governor removed
the conditions under which
Richey was paroled and paroled him
during good behavior. Emerson
was granted a full pardon and can
now return to the State to live,
fully restored to citizenship.
Buckles, Alex, white, convicted at
the fall, 1914, term of court for
Williamsburg county of violating
the dispensary law and sentenced to
pay a fine of $150 or serve six
months on public works. Paroled
during good behavior and upon the
further condition that should he
ever again be convicted of violating
the dispensary law he shall be required
to serve the remainder of the
above sentence. Parole dated No
vember 25, 1914.
Bradley, Miller, colored, convicted
at the October, 1914, term of
court for Williamsburg county, of
manslaughter, and sentenced to five
years' imprisonment upon the public
works. Paroled during good behavior,
November 25, 1914.
