PLEA IS MADE
FOR CLEMENCY
Cases of Rawlings and Negro Be¬
fore Prison Commission.
A BIT OF NEW EVIDENCE
Alf Moore Saved Life of Mrs. Carter.
O.d Man Rawlings Makes Another
Sensational Statement.
The attorneys who represented Alt
Moore in his trial at Valdosta, Ga.,
last summer for complicity in the
murdoi o£ the Carter children are
interesting themselves in an endeavor
to have his sentence commuted to life
imprisonment instead of being hang¬
ed. There appears to be a strong
■sentiment among the people of the
county and section in the negro’s be¬
half. it is contended that if he had
net freely confessed his part in the
tragedy that it would have been im¬
possible to have convicted his co
conspirators, J. G. Rawlings and his
sons, or to have ever learned the
truth of the crime. Moore has claini
-ed, and it was not disproven, that he
saved the life of Mrs. Carter by
knocking up the gun as Jesse Raw¬
lings leveled the weapon to shoot her
and that he aid not kill or attempt
to kill either of the children, having
become frightened and run away soon
after the children were shot.
Petitions are now being circulated
in various parts of the county asking
the prison commission to commute
the sentence.
Petitions are also being numerously
signed asking a commutation of the
■sentences of the Rawling boys. Very
few people want the boys hanged,
mainly on account of their youth
and of the general belief that they
were dominated by their father in the
commission of the crime with which
they are charged.
The elder Rawlings issued a state¬
ment Friday in which he vigorously
denied that he had ever said that he
wanted his boys to hang with him,
as has been so generally reported. He
contends that his boys are innocent,
but .knowing lbf> AcbivejMW
would be thrown around them, and
the life they would have to live aa
convicts, he feels that he would rather
see them dead than to know they
had to go to the penitentiary for life.
He says that his wife and daughters
discovered that he had hired Alf
Moore before his sons knew
anything about the contem¬
plated crime, and that his daughter
Le'.ia went into her brother Milton’s
room after he had gone to bed on the
night of the tragedy and told the boy
the first he knew of it.
DEPUTIES RUN GAUNTLET.
South Carolina Officers Have Strenuous
Time Saving Negro From Mob.1
After running the gauntlet of an
armed and determined mob, Deputies
Reuben Jacobs and E. E. Morris of
Barnwell, S. C., reached Savannah,
Ga., Friday from Barnwell county,
with John Sims, a colored prisoner,
who had been shot through the body.
Sims was being carried to Augusta
and thence to Columbia.
The negro was arrested at Black
vllle, Friday morning, for turkey
stealing and for throwing bricks at
a Mrs. Bussee. When Mrs. Bussee dis¬
covered Sims trying to catch the tur¬
keys he commenced cursing her and
throwing stones at her and she sought
safety by crawling under a bouse. Ai»
thur Dcwett overtook the negro, and
•when the latter showed fight Dewett
shot him through the right side. The
negro’s wound was dressed and he
was placed aboard the train for Barn¬
well. An excited mob was in waiting
and Sheriff Creech and several dep¬
uties were having trouble in keeping
them back.
As the train slowed up, Sheriff
Creech jumped aboard and held the
mob at bay until the doors to the car
In which the prisoner was confined
was locked. Inside the car were sev¬
eral deputies with double-barreled
shotguns.
The throttle was opened wide and
the train sped out of Barnwell with
several members of the mol) still
clinging to the platform. Some of
these stayed on the train until the
next stop.

‘One Dose Convinces.’
The condition of the patient remains un¬
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in a few
days a stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Fills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their vioIent,action results in an unnat¬
ural movement of the bowels and it is nec¬
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.
Why ORINO is different.
Orino Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs. Other prepar¬
ations act upon the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. It can very read¬
ily bo seen that a preparation that does
not act upon all of the digestive organs
