THE Governor Pardous Atkins.

Governor Lee yesterday granted pardon
10 John W. Atkins, who WAS IN September
last convicted In the Hastings Court Of en-
bezzling funds OF the Pamunkey Tribe OF
Red Men, OF which order be was treasurer,
and sentenced to two years in the peniten-
tIaTy.
The Governor bad the petition, which was
signed 10y Judge Atkins, who presided at
the trial; Judge Witt, who prosecuted the
case; CommOnweSl Attorney Spots
wood, all Of the jury. seyeuty-two members
OF the tribe, aud many citizens, under con-
sidCration for several weeks.
The pardon was carried to the penitentary
by Rev. DR.. II. u. Kerr, and Mr. Atkins was
at once released and went 10 hlS home on
Venable street, where the meeting between
himself and family was one OF Joy.
The of nee OF which Atkins was c0n-
vIcted in old times would have been simply
called breach OF trust" and he would
not have been prosecuted, but our present
statute was framed to meet such cases and
makes them ielOuies. in this Instance the
accused wss plgn we'll known In the COM
munity, was a merchant in fair standing, pnd
on his trial was able 10 prove good cha
racier, and when convicted hundreds OF
people sought to secure executive clemency
for him. and that II has been granted meets
with general approval.

Additional signatures TO the Bust
ness-Nen's pledge

The anti-coupon movement Is approaching
unanimity IA business circles here. The
csnyassers for signatures meet with very few
refusais indeed. The people recognize that
the life OF the state IL at stake, and 10 refuse
TO belp her In her extremity would be cruel
and unpatrioiic indeed. Both parties OF
Virginia have resolved over and over sgaln
that TO increase taxes Is impossible and that
the only settlement OF the debt that can be
made IS on the basis OF the Riddlebereer
bill. The British creditors vii! not iusd
their bonds as long as they can sell their
coupons at good price. When the tax
payers decline TO buy coupons the market
therefore is destroyed, and then the State
will get all her taxes in money instead OF in
coupons. This money she needs and must
have II she Is 10 keep up her government
and public institutions. For all these rea-
sons citizens Of Richmond are cheeriulIy

say four cents per box for each coming
year, until nearly an exclusion point be
reached. By such system Southern fruit
would be in abundance to supply all de-
mands, and no shock produced by the
change, and thus stimulus would be
given to such industry, which would work
wonders in this portion of the State. So,
too, should the same protection be given
by bonus or otherwise to sugar and to
every kind of American industry. Home.
industries for our own citizens, as far as
possible, and the keeping OF our money
among us is our true American policy.
With such a policy fairly established in
all the Southern States, who could esti-
mate their future gains? Their success
and unequaled prosperity would be as
sured. No part of our country could
excel them. They have all the elements
of untold wealth within their borders.
Nature has done her part for them with
lavish prodigality, now let their citizens
do theirs, and the work is done which
shall and will secure unequaled success
and prosperity to all these sunny States.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT
Rice for Stock Food.

About the first of May, 1888, planted
three pints of upland rice, on about one
fourth acre of pine land. Had raised a
crop of Irish potatoes on the land the
same season, which may have left some
fertilizer for the rice. Ny rows were three
feet apart. Put six or eight grains of
rice to the hill, about one foot apart.
| raised three one-horse wagon loads, or
about three months supply for one horse.
1t grew five feet high, with heads eight or
ten inches long, we'll filed with grain.
My horse and COW eat it greedily.
| cultivated it as | would any other
crop, merely keeping it clean. Had
planted little earlier, could have made
two crops. Next to crab-grass think it
the cheapest food we can raise. AS all
land won't grow crab-grass large enough
for hay, would recommend upland rice.
[ am to make two sowings this year, one
in March, the other in May. Fellow
farmers, let us raise our forage this year
and not have to buy it. M. HI. M.
