Jefferson County White Man Sent Up For Grand Larceny Subject of Governor Cunningham
 Clemency.

Governor Cunningham yesterday is- sued parole to Walter Jones of Jeffer- son County, serving a fifteen months sentence for larceny. Jones was par doned upon the petition of the court officers and a large number of citizens of Jefferson County, who entertained some doubt as to his guilt.
 The Governor said in granting the parole: This applicant for pardon was convicted of grand larceny in De- ccmber, 1903. His short time will ex- pire in November, 1904. His conduct has been good since his confinement Tn tho penitentiary. From the evidence in the case there Is a reasonable doubt as as his guilt it being established that he was in the State of Ohio a few days before and a few days after the date of the larceny.
 The Trial Judge, the Assistant So- l1citor and the Pardoning Board re- commend Executive clemency. A large number of citizens testify to the help less condition of his wife and three small children who are in destitute cir cumstances, Therefore, let parole is sue dependent upon his future good conduct"
 Soness wife and three small chill drcn were at the Capitol Friday. They went before the Governor and pleaded for mercy to the husband and flIther.

MOBILE CHAPTER.

The Mobile Chapter. U. D. C., held its regular monthly meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Only routine work was done. The members of the chapter were greatly interested in the reports of the delegates who attended the annual con Yention of the Alabama division held m Greensboro. We look forward with much pleasure to entertaining the di- vision next year in Mobile.
 A letter from Gen. Stephen D. Lee was read. asking that contributions of flowers be sent to Columbus. Ohio, to decorate the graves of Confederate dead there. The chapter decided it best to send a contribution of money to purchase design, as flowers sent such a distance would probably be much wlthered.
