'se Personally The Herald and News is he Ivery fond of shade trees and regrets b- to see them used for hitching posts, F. especially when the animals hitched ill seem to be short of feed and eat the bark off the trees. One of the beauti ful oaks in Friend. street along side hthe Methodist church lot is being rap on hdily eaten away by one or more of athese animals. We take it that it is yonly necessary to call attention to .this matter, and we are not doing it for the purpose of reporting anyone, but simply to prevent the continuance of such a depredatiot.. ry a'- ELHS LODGE. 7 on Will Hold Memorial Exercises in Opera jal House Next Sunday.

Heavy Doeket Confronts the Fal I Term, Which Convened on Non. day Morning. A heavy docket confronts the fall term of the general sessions court for Newberry county, which convened on Monday morning, with Judge Gage, of 1 Chester, presiding. A number of in-,, dictments were handed the grand jury . by Solicitor Cooper, including the in- I dictment against T. B. Felder, a full account of which appears in another column. Judge Gage delivered an ex ceptionally able charge to the grandl jury. Eph Williams and Jim Workman, colored, charged with murder, pleaded guilty to mansluaghter, under an ar rangement with the solicitor, and were sentenced to serve ten years each. They were implicated in the big negro church row near Kinards so.ue time ago. They were represented by Eu gene S. Blease, Esq. The remainder of the morning hour of court was taken up with the trial of Tom Todd, a negro prosecuted by Mr. Godfrey Harmon, the charge be ing that the negro mutilated a house and damaged it to the extent of about $30, the house being located on Mr. Harmon's place in the upper section of the county where the negro was working. The negro was represented by Eugene S. Blease, Esq. SION TAYLOR PAROLED. Son of Mrs. Josephine Taylor, Whose Little Boy Was Killed by Freight Train. "Dear Governor Blease: Can't you send my boy, Simon Taylor, home to me? Oh, how I need him now. My dear little boy has just been klled by the railroad, and my heart is sore. For God's sake, governor, send my other boy home to me." So wrote Mrs. Josephine Taylor, of West End, this city, to Gov. Blease, asking for the pardon of her son, Sim on Taylor, after the tragic death of her little 8-year-old son, J. B., who was crushed to death by a freight train at the Main street crossing of the Southern railway last week. Gov. Blease, in answer to this touch ing plea, paroled Simon Taylor, who had already served more than three years of a seven-year senten'ce, on the Saluda county' chaingang, and whose. full pardon had been recommended by, the trial judge and the solicitor after three years of the sentence had been. served. Simon Taylor, the brother of the lad who was killed here by the freight last week, is the eldest of his moth er's family of nine children, three of whom are mere tots. It was on the night of July 3, 1907,! at the home, in Saluda county, that Simon Taylor shot and killed his fath- j er, Wi'Mam Taylor, after the Iatter, so it was alleged, had attemnpted to kill the boy. William Taylor had been on an extended drunken "spree" for over two weeks, It wa.s stated. at the trial, and on the night of the tragedy reached home in an ugly humor, and after abusing several members of the family and attacking the mother, Tay lor turned his wrath upon his son, Simon, who had remonstrated with him and defended his mother. His ugly humor, resulting from the influence of whiskey, inflamed all the more by the opposition of his boy, so angered William Taylor that he at-15 temupted to shoot his son, but the lad fired first, the shot taking effect in the father's stomic-, death resuiting therefrom. Simon Taylor was arraign ed and tried at Saluda for murder, and at the September term of court for1 that county, in 1908, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to seven years on the chain gang by Judge De yore. In November 3, of that same year, Judge Devore and Solicitor Timmner mann, in a joint letter to Thurmond & Ramage, attorneys, of Saluda, stated1 that when Simon Ta,ylor ha'd serv'ed three of the seven years of his sen tence they would recommend to the governor that he be granted an un conditional pardon. The boy has served over three years. It was shown at the trial, and stat-' ed in the petition which Mrs. Josephine Taylor, of Newberry, the mother of Simon Taylor and wife of the slain man, sent the governor, that William L Taylor was addicted to the use of drink and often had abused the mem-! bers of his family while under its in fu ence. Following his death Mrs. Taylor moved from the,.home in Saluda coun ty. to Newberry, where she worked for: the support of her large famnily. The misfortune. -*ofa. the- family were increased, when, on Tuesday of last! wgjk the,., s on of this woman, .J. I E. ayTl;~r Nhool lad, whil Icross in the~ riroad track, was run over nd killed by, a train. In her sorrow nd grief, Mrs. Taylor addressed the tbove letter to GoV. Blease, praying 'or the release ot'her son from the Sa uda county chain gang. The boy's grandmother, who is the nother of the slain man, Mrs. Nancy raylor, joined in the plea to the gov rnor to release Simon Taylor from :he chain gang. She says that her on, William Taylor, abused his family tnd that the wife, Mrs. Josephine Tay or, was a good, deserving woman. It was shown that Mrs. Taylor is the nother of nine children, three of whom are dependent on her for sup ort. The parole for Simon Taylor was Issued. County Farmers' Union. The monthly meeting of the County Parmers' union will De held next Sat irday at 11 o'clock. Besides the elec ion of nfficers other matters will come ip foi consideration. J. B.
