FREES, THEM FROM TORTURE,
TWO CONVICTS, WHO HAD BEEN
CRUELTY BEATEN, PARDONRD.
Young NegreSS Had Been Shamefully
LaShed, and Was Found in
Mems Clothes at Work.

Governor Atkinson has pardoned
two misdemeanor convicts to rescae
them from the inhuman treatment of
guards in the chaingangs in Wilkes
and Houston counties.
The information which comes direct
20 the governor from an authentic
source reveals shocking state of af
fairs in these camps, particularly the
one IN Wilkes county.
Lizzie Boatright, an eighteen-year-
old negro girl sent to the chaingapg
for six months from McDuffie county
was found working in a ditch with five
men. She had on mems clothes. wear
ing the same make of shoes, pants and
coat that the men wore and doing the
same kind Of work.
The only difference was that she US
ed short handled spade and the men
used long handled shovels. This girl
said that the guard, Bob Cannon. who
has since been tried for whipping q
convict to death, whipped her twice
with leather strap on her bare flesh
She said he made her lean over and ex-
pose herself in the presence of the male
cOnyicts and beat her with the stran
She said that when she begged him 10
take her away from the men for the
whipping he cursed her and proceeded
with the brutal work, A statement
comes to the governor through the
same channel that Cannon, while in
jail, admitted whipping the girl twice
in the manner described.
The other misdemeanor convict par
doned is Buster Tucker, confined in the
Houston county chaingang. The gov
ernor has letter from the solicitor
general of that circuit to the effect
that this boy had been numerically
beaten by a guard and that the prison
er's body is mass of sores.

GREAT FLORAL CLOCK
ROCKEFELLER'S VERY NEAT WAY
OF TELLING TIME.
Slxty-Seven Kinds of Flowers, Each
OF Which Has a Certain Hour for
Opening and Closing.

John D. Rockefeller is to have an ex-
traordinary floral novelty on tho grounds
OF his country seat on the Hudson, near
Tarrytown, N. j. The wonder is to be
clock made entirely of growing flowers
and 1t will tell the time of day with ac-
curacy. This floral clock is the sugges-
ton of Mrs. Rockefeller.
There are sxty-seven varieties of flow
ers that have certain hours for opening
and closing their petals. The design for
Mr.. Rockefeller's clock has just been
completed by an Ohio landscape garden
or who has selected the common yellow
dandelion to represent the hands These
flowers open at $50 a. m. and close at
about $3.50 p. m., and the hands will
point to the arrangement of flowers rep
resenting those figures. For other parts
of the queer timepiece the gar dener has
suggested a large number out f the
many from which a selection may be
made, and Mrs. Rockefeller will decide
which these shall be.
The yellow goats beard will be used
tor one. 1t grows in the meadows every
where, and in the poor districts of Scot
land the schools which cannot have
clocks are dismissed by it. For the 2
p. m. flower the hawkseed has been sug-
gested as the best, as it closes at that
hour to the minute. Then The snow
thistle, also common to the meadow.
closes its little white flower exactly at l
p. No. The best II a. m. plant is from
the pasture and is called the sow thistle.
1t opens at 5. a. m. and begins to cl Sc at
II, but is not completely closed before
noon.
The water lily and several other mem
bers of the lily ia nily are celebrated for
the exactness with which they open and
close each day, and there are number
of flowers common to the every day
sight that may be made 10 do duty in the
construction of the novelty that is to
contribute to the pleasure of Mr. Rookie
Teller and his friends.
From distance the clock will have
the appearance of a flower bed, but no
one will, on close inspection, mistake it
for anything other than what it is.
