The bill. he said, legislated money out of the State Treasury, There were, he said. 162 men In Alabama engaged in the business of money lending. each of whom paid a license of Sl00 a year.

MISSION OF CONVICT
TOM DOVER PARoLED TO VISIT
 SICK CHILD.
Cove nor Jelks Shows Mercy to Escambia County Prisoner Sem tence.' to Twenty Years for
 Striking His Wife.

Speeding to Mobile on a passenger train last night was Thomas J. Dower, an Ala bama convict who, through the mercy of Governor Jelks. will be present to-day at the bedside of little Mary Ellen Dover, his child. who is dying.
 Dover has given Governor Jelks his pledge of manhood that he will return to the stockade at Speigners at the expira- ton of thirty days, and resume his sen tence, twenty years of Imprisonment. im- posed upon him by an Escambia county jury for striking his wife. the mother of little Mary Ellen.
 To-day in Mobile, Mrs. Dover, whose pathetic appeal to Governor Jelks, se- cured the parole of her husband, will look into the eyes of the man who wrong ed her. To-day their tears will mingie together at the bedside of their little one, and their sorrow will be complete.
 The undoing of this once happy family was brought about through the curse of whiskey. Tom. Dover was a good citi- zen of Escambia county when he was sober. When he was drunk Tom Dower was a bad citizen. Under the influence of whiskey Tom Dower struck the mother of his child.
 This was two years ago. Tom Dowel was indicted for assaulting woman, and assault on a woman is a serious crime ir Alabama. An Escambia county jury gave Dower the full penalty of law and he. ar uncomplaining prisoner, went to Speig' ners and donned the stripes of a convict Petitions were filed many weeks ago with Governor Jelkr in the interest oi Dover. They were endorsed by Solicitor N. R. Leigh. Jr. Many petitions of this character reach the executive office. and the petition of Dower had not received consideration.
 Meanwhile little Mary Ellen Dower fel i'll of typhoid fever and her mather took her to Mobile for treatment
 A telegram reached Tom Dover fir prison at Speigners, and 1t touched his heart. It read:
 Nellie is desperately i'll. Can't you come? Mary"
 The mother. in her distress. appealed tc the father. Then Tom Dover wrote Governor Jelkt al eloquent letter. He pledged his sacred manhood that If the Governor would Tel him go to Mobile, he would return tc speigner's. He must see his child. tn. convict said. = | This letter came yesterday. By thu same mail letter came from Mrs. Dover It told of her distress, of her poverty. | The children of the poor and humble, she wrote, "are as dsar to them as ar' the childre en of the rich and powerful Mine are dearer to me because they ar all I have"
 The pathetic letter was endorsed b, Dr. Rhett Goode of Mobile, who declared that the child was desperately Ill an' might not live.
 | Governor Jelks did not hesitate. H. directed that the warden at Speigner's D. instructed to release Tom Dower in tim for him to catch an evening train; tha he be informed he was on his good be havior and that the Governor would ex pect him to return to Speigner's in thirt! days.
 The telegram was sent and Tom Dove left for Mobile last night

drift of vagrants from Georgia cities is noted. and It Is not e all unlikely that complaints about theufln the country dis tricts will increase kss vagrancy there be suppressed. The Remedy seems to lie in the organization of a police patrol somewhat upon the lines of the old patrol before the war. but modified. of course to meet changed conditions. Such a system would have a deterrent effect of greater value, perhaps. than as means of bring ing criminals to justice. It would reduce the nuinber of potential criminals. The legislative program for Southern States should be a strict vagrancy law, a rural police patrol, and provisions for putting to work and keeping at work. under State authority and for the State, the ire claimable vagrant. together with a pro- vision that committal to the penitentiary shall justify a surgical operation remov- gatlon of recognized convict stock.
