wanted the school very much Now they
have it. and we hope they will do a good
part by it.
When the school can be opened, is a
matter of considerable interest now.
Dozens and scores are anxious to attend
The establishment of this school will meet
long-felt want. 1t is intensely popular
just now. Surely no one in the great

BERRY DUNCAN PARDoNED.
Autauga County Negro Freed by the
 Governor.

Governor Jelks yesterday granted a pardon to Berry Duncan, an unfortunate negro of Autauga County. The papers in the case showed that Duncan was weak minded and irresponsible.
 Duncan was serving five years sent ence, having been convicted in Novem- ber. 1901. His crime was burglary. In granting the pardon the Governor said:
 Tt appears from the papers in this case that Berry Duncan would probably not know right from wrong. Good citi- zens of Lowndes County. who have known him long time make that state ment The things stolen were of very trifiing value. I am disposed to believe that Berry was hardly legally respon- sible for the offense But if he were re- sponsible. the service for q year and half in the penitentiary for the theft of goods hardly amounting to 50 cents would seem to justify me in acceding to the request of the Board of Pardons.
