WHY CARTER WAS PARDONED.

His Three Little Girls Wrote Gov
ernor Telling PitifuI Tale of Their
Condition.
Atlanta, Aug. Gov. Gambler to-day
granted a pardon solely on the strength
of a letter from three little girls,
daughters of the convict who is serv-
ing a two-years' sentence for larceny
after trust. T. H. Carter was a sew
ing machine agent, and failed to ac-
count for a few dollars collected on
the monthly installment plan. The re-
suit was his arrest, conviction and SEN
tence to two years in the penitentiary.
OF this time he has served about eight
months. Carter's three little girls are
4, and II years old, and are now liv-
ing in Athens with their grandfather,
who is a paralytic and unable to do
anything for them. Their mother died
since the father went to the peniten-
tiary and they are dependent entirely
on charity. The Governor said he new
er pardoned anybody more willingly
than he did Carter. 1t was purely an
act of mercy, he said, but he was glad
to restore the father to these helpless
little girls

customs tariff, for the purpose of pro-

of $4,000 900 and $35, OOO 900. as set forth
in the bill passed by the Senate last

siders the floating of these loans to be
an infraction of a clause in the Plat
amendment, La Discussion says:
Mr.. Squiers, the American minister,
believes it advisable to assist the Gu
ban agrichlturalist., He has alsa sad
the American government would be
pleased that the republic of Cuba
should pay its debts to the revolution
airy army by means of loan; that so
doing would greatly aid the prosper
ity of the count and that he be-
lieves Cuba to be financially capable
of the operation"
