Tc a body who reads, thinks and tries to keep abreast of the times it does seem like executive clemency is being dished out entirely too freely in this state, which does not tend to diminish ^mob violence, but on the other hand to offer excuse for law? lessness. Just get a little petition started and soon it increases in size and rapidity like one of these little summer clouds. Half the people in this country would sign their death warrant if presented to them, and, doubtless, not ask a question. This is a dangerous practice. Juries often sit on cases for. hours, yes, for days, and after much deliberation and hard .effort to reach ' a just verdict, when they do reach an agreement, whether for acquittal or conviction, they are severely censured. If they find the defendant guilty, it matters not of the terribleness of the crime, three times j out of five a big petition soon starts setting forth all manner of excuses, reasons, justifications and false swear? ing, and just grounds for pardon or commutation of sentence and execu? tive clemency follows, as a matter of fact. Money tells the tale. Xow, why censure a- jury? Think of Hoyt Hayes' brutal murder. Watch him a little later. STATEBURG.

After the close of the school that evening Miss Lottie Wienges, principal of the school held the exercises in McLeod's.Ch apel, and by eight o'clock the church was well filled with the parents of the school and visiting friends. The exercises consisted of ! debates, compositions, and recitations, and were very creditable to both scholars and principal The foliow I ing pupils received prizes. 1st Marion Reames for preparing ! and reading the best paper on a cotton ? question in debate 2d Jimmie Griggs for having re ! ceived the greatest number of head j marks in his spelling class.. 3d Gilbert Flowers Young for the best composition on "Longfellow." 4th Elizabeth Reames and Rosa Mc?

J Youne the Chairman of the Board of Trustees presented the prizes in his usual style, adding much fun and amusement to the occasion by his witty remarks as be presented each successful com? petitor with his cr her prize, I and after all was over a vote of thanks was voted Miss Wienges for her un? told effort? in adding so much pleasure and enjoyment to all present. ' The picnic given to St. Matthews school which bas been previously mentioned came off today. The morn? ing dawned cloudy and threatened rain, but about ten o'clock the bright sunshine made its appearance gladden ing the heart of many a little child. The picuikers begau to gather by 12 m , from all quarters, some in car? riages some in tjgiiies anis?me in wagons and soon the schoW house srove was; well filled. The little ones lost no time in commencing tbeir carnes of amusement. First the ?cbcoi had a vote for a Queen of the picnic sod Elizabeth Reames *as elected Queen.

Rembert, S. C., May 9.-We have had excessive rains in this section for the past week and very little plow work has been done. Cotton chop? ping is in .full blast and young grass is matting the cotton beds. Today the. sun is shining and we trust good weather from now on will enable the farmers to get straight and catch up with their work. Corn is looking well, but the stands in the bottom lands have been eaten up by the bud worms and it will be June before good stands can be se? cured. Oats have improved very much since the rains have set in and a fair average crop will be made with no disaster. The health of the community is very good at this time, but Mr. W. J. Young is on the sick list and could not attend court in Sumter this week as juryman, but sent his physician's certificate to excuse him. Mr. H. C. McLeod has been quite sick, but I am glad to report him improving. Miss - Manola Cauthen, of Sumt?r, attended the school picnic here last Saturday. Miss Lottie Wienges left Rembert on yesterday to spend her vacation at home with her parents near Charleston. We have a remarkable old lady in this community-she is the oldest liv? ing person here-a Mrs. Sallie Brown, widow of Jack Brown, who has been dead 30 years. This old lady is 107 years of age and is quite active and all of her faculties seem to be well preserved. DURANT. Durant, S. C., May 2.-There was a neighborhood picnic near Mr. Willie Gaillard's home on last Saturday. The weather looked threatening in the morning, which no doubt prevented many from attending.

The town was considerably excited last week over a case of small pox that had broken out among the hands employed by Mr. John W. Davis in building the dwelling of Mrs. Levy. Drs. Jennings and Wilkinson pro? nounced it a genuine c&se and upon their suggestion the board of health ordered the negro house quarantined and it has been strictly guarded ever since. Xo other case has developed so far and since the board has order? ed everybody not vaccinated to do so at once. We hope there will be ho other case of it.-Bishopville Vindi? cator. Wnated-applications from other counties for the convicts of Claren? don's county chaingang. The institu? tion is too expensive for the service sc small a number can render. If no ap? plications come in, we would suggest to the commissioners to consult their attorney and ascertain if what few convicts they now have, cannot be sent to the penitentiary, so that some of the expense can be cut down, and also suggest to our Representatives in the legislature to provide at the next session some law which will pre? vent in the future such a condition as we have now, if the law does not al? ready provide for it.-Manning Times.

Columbia, May 8.-The Sumter county pension roll for the new year embraces 138 names and is one of the shortest in the state. Spartanburg has all the counties beaten with a list of over 700. In 1904 Sumter's list was 140. The list by classes and the amount each pensioner will receive follows: Class A., 5; $96.00. Class B., 3; $72.00. Class C., No. 1, 2; $48.00. Class C., No. 2, 73; $15.50. . Class C., No. 3, S; $48.00. Class C., No. 4, 47; $15.50. The check for distribution among the petitioners will b? forwarded to the Sumter clerk of cou~t in about a week accompanied by a list of the pension? ers. The state board believes that the list from practically every county in the state contains the names of a number who have no right to be on the lists has adopted a resolution asking the papers to publish their county lists a's an assistance to purg? ing them. It will be recalled in the case of Anderson which has a list this year of 477, that her delegation to the last legislature was one of the most insist? ent upon important changes in the pension law. Representative Prince put in a bill to do away with the pres? ent appropriation of $200,000 for pen? sions and relieve state finances by re? quiring each county to take care of its own pensioners by a levy of one mill, the county veteran associations to distribute the amounts so raised according to to rules and regulations which they should see proper to adopt.
