A PURIFIED JAIL.
Jailor Xorris With Dustcloth in Hand
Has Wrought Wonder?.
Tho public ear has been so tortured
by accounts of a pestiferous condi?
tion of affairs at the jail that it will
na doubt be a positive relief to have
a favorable report from a represent?
ative of the Civic League, who has re?
cently inspected the institution.
The hour was early in the day,
Monday, nevertheless, the building
and premises would not have suffer?
ed in a comparison with others in the
city. Jailor Norris, dustcloth in '.'and,
and filled with just pride at the as?
pect of his domain, assisted the
health officer in showing the visitor
around. The air was redolent of dis?
infectants and there was abundant
evidence of the unstinted use of soap
and water. A judicious touch of paint
had done wonders. A garnishing of
lime had been bestowed wherever
needed. Cobwebs had been swept
down and rubbish carted off-every?
thing was putting its best foot fore?
most; even a discarded stove in the
backyard made a pathetic appeal for
approval by a brave display of pol?
ish. The dismal tone' in the picture
being the poor wretch Henderson,
who lay huddled in his bed clothes.
It may not be amiss to remark since
it is so sadly lacking, that whatever
thre is of aid and comfort in religion
should find its fullest scope inside a
prison's wall. v Also, that the occa?
sional bestowal of a little reading
matter could not be construed into a
desire to make things unduly pleas?
ant for the erring.

JOHN HENDERSON RESPITED.
Reprieve Granted the Condemned
Man Until His Counsel Can Appear
Before the Board of Pardons.
Thursday in the county jail, John
Henderson gratefully received the
news that Governor Heyward had fa?
vorably considered his petition for
a commutation of sentence, recently
presented by his counsel, Geo" D.
Levy, Esq., and that he had been res?
pited until January 18th, 1907, in.or?
der that his counsel might have an
opportunity to appear before the
Board of Pardons, and lay before that
body the grounds upon which the
commutation of sentence from death
to imprisonment is asked.
Kicked by His Horse.
Bishopville, Nov. 30.-Mr. John
Tallon of Lynchburg happened to a
very bad accident while in town to?
day, in that he was kicked by his
horse and struck in the face. The
wound is not fatal, but is a very pain?
ful one. His horse became frightened
at some unknown thing and suddenly
kicked and struck the young man in
the face, cutting his face real badly.
Medical attention was immediately
given the young man and he is now
resting as weil as could be expected
under the circumstances at the home
of his uncle, J. B. Tallon.
New York, Dec. 1.-After a court?
ship of a little over a week, carried on
during an automobile trip, Miss Ma?
bel Taliaferro, "Lovey Mary," of the
"Mrs. Wiggs Cabbage Patch" produc?
tion, who is a southern girl, was mar?
ried last night to Frederick Thomp?

ager.

When Buying' a Fence
The weight per rod and size of wire must be
taken into consideration ; also the CONSTRUC

Heavy wires and the best galvanizing ar$
always used on the AMERICAN, and the quan?

The HINGE JOINT on the American allows
for CONTRACTION and EXPANSION, to with
stand sudden and severe pressure from contact
with animals, without bendings stays, the fence
springing back to place the instant pressure
is removed.
