NOT A WHITE WOMAN CONVICT
Governor vardaman PardOns the Only
One in the Mississippi Peniten-
tiary. Touched BY Her Plea.

There is not white woman convict
in the Mississippi penitentiary, with
its 400 prisoners serving sentences
imposed upon them by the judges,
carrying out the laws of the land. The
doors of the penitentiary opened to
the only white woman convict, when
Governor Vardaman issued a par
don to Lena Wilkinson and gave her
back her liberty which was taken from
her nine years ago.
Executive clemency was extended to
the woman by Governor Vardaman
just as soon as the petition for her
pardon reached the Office of the chief
magistrate of the state. Governor
Vardaman is chivalrous in his regard
for the white women of Mississippi
his beautiful tributes to them are
famed-and was naturally touched at
the idea of white woman being in the
penitentiary with hardened criminals,
whose hearts were never SOftened by
gentle thrOb, whose souls were never
strengthened by a noble thought,
wearing the felon's stripes, and so
when the petition or her release came
it received prompt action, and the pa
pers were signed as soon as the gov
ernor could investigate the merits of
the case.
Lena Wilkinson, who bears the dis
tinction of being the last white woman
in the Mississippi penitentiary, and
the only one within its dark walls in
a number of years, was convicted on
the charge of infanticide.

SENTENCED TO IA YEARS.
Negro of Montgomery Will Be Very
Old Man When His Term Expires.

If Frank Smith, negro of Mont
gomery should ~live to complete his
sentence in the penitentiary he will
be 1876 years old. Smith gained an
infamous reputation around Mont
gomery, by his several attempts at
criminal assault in one of which he
was successful. The recent grand jury
found two indictments againS him.
Last Wednesday one of the cases
was tried and in short order the jury
gave him a sentence of 40 years.
In the city court the next morning
the second case against him came up
for consideration. This case had
some points of extreme gravity, and
Smith had profted by the experience
in the other case. Valuing his neck
very previously he entered into an
agreement with the solicitor whereby
he was to plead guilty to the charge
and receive the light sentence OF ~
years. He is now - years old, which
figures added to the sum of both SEN
fences will put him at the ripe old age
of 169 years when he gets out. He
does not begin serving his SO year
sentence until his forty-tve year SEN
tence expires. OF course If he behaves
himself he can reap the beneht OF
the good time law and get few years
taken off his servitude for the state.
It is said that he feels extremely
grateful to get off without the ADJUST
ment of the moose in the vicinity OF
his bronchial tubes.

Toilers of the Land Would Get Back
Something from Favored Glass.

oOtleCnluS from EdfOrSu OAesSS'
The senate committee on agriculture
and forestry has favorably reported
the bill introduced by Senator Lat
inner, known as the good roads bill
and which carries an appropriation
of 1924, 900, 900, to be available in three
annual installments of $4,000, 900, for
road construction in connection with
state cooperation, the state to do the
work of construction and pay half the
cost, the government paying the other
half. The New York Tribune evidently
sees much in this measure to command
its favor, for it says:
whether, under all the circum-
stances, the bill is adapted to the
purpose in view must be decided by
congress, but that there is government
coordination of effort in giving the
country a system of good roads does
not need argument. Every dollar
economically expended in such work
will pay big interest in increased
facilities of exchange and added com
fort and happiness to the people.
There does not seem to be any proba-
bility, however, that the bill will ever
get through congress this session, or
the next, but it is only question OF
time when paternal government will
take it up and make it law. There is
no doubt that the scheme, if properly
administered, would give the country
better roads and greatly benefit the
people of the rural districts, but the
cost would be tremendous, and the
1924, 900, 900 appropriated at the be-
ginning would be mere trile com
pared to the sums that would be called
for as the work and the years go on.
However, the fact cannot be disputed
that the toilers of the land would get
back something of what has been
taken from them by means of legis-
lation for the benefit of the favored
classes"

BABY SLEEPS OUT OF DOORS.
No Matter How Cold Health Specialist
Leaves Little One on Front Porch.

A health specialist living in Duluth
believes that sleeping out of doors, no
matter what the temperature may be,
is conducive to health, strength and
long life. He is trying it on his baby,
aged Is months. He puts the child on
the porch in basket if the thermOm-
eter is at zero. Meanwhile he wraps
himself up in double blankets, inside
the house, and snoozes away. The
authorities are considering whether or
not they shall take hold of the matter.
1t would be poetic justice if they were
to make him sleep outside and send
the baby to bed like other children.

Newspaper Knows of an Extensive
Farmer Who Will Let Staple Alone.

From the Albany Herald.
The Herald knows of at least one
farmer whose annual operations are
on an extensive scale who will not
plant a single row of cotton in 1905.
He says he can not afford to gamble
on cotton possibilities when there ex-
lists the certainty of substantial profit
in other crops. He will put many
acres in corn, oats, peas, potatoes,
COOLERS, sugar cane and melons, and
will harvest a valuable hay crop. I'm

average price of not less than ten
cents per pound he will realize greater
profit on his years operations than
farmers who cultivate broad fields OF
cotton and pay big bills for fertilizers,

hauled from place to place. This
treatment, which quadruples the life
OF soft wood tie, has opened up a
supply which will meet the demand
for some years. But shortage is
distinctly in sight and some broader
plans must be undertaken. The
only remedy Is tree planting and
forest management.
1t is very doubtful, however, if
any railroad will ever be able to
plant trees in sufficient number to
secure its entire supply of cross-ties;
but the planting experiments made
by the railroads will tend to stlmu-
late land owners holding land along
the right of way to plant their waste
or unproductive lands with trees
which will produce tie timber and
thus furnish the railroad with sup
ply of ties in the future.
The annual tie consumption of
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone is
about $3.50, 900 ties, to produce
which about l2, 800 acres must be
cut.
In many cases the question of the
production for the railroads will un-
doubtedly be solved by the proper
management of existing tracts of
forest land which the roads now
own or may acquire rather than by
an extensive scheme of forest plant
ing.
The Forest Service several years
ago began study of the forest
: plantations which had been made in
this country and as result of this
study scheme of corporation with
land owners and others was devised
whereby the Forest Service gives
practical assistance and advice in
, establishing commercial plantations.

TO PLANT NEW FORESTS.
Guy E. Mitchell of the National IT.
rigation Association Writes on
Necessity Of Tree Planting.

Necessity Of Tree Planting.
In the old days wood was burned
by the engines Of the Galena and
Chicago Union railroad. the parent
company Of the present Chicago and
Northwestern system. At one of
the annual meetings of this parent
company, President Van Nortwick
announced to the stockholders that
he had bought certain woodland at
Elgin, Illinois, now little more than
a suburb of Chicago and that he
felt like congratulating thecompany
that this wood tract would forever
secure sufficient fuel for the COM
pany's locomotives. Some years
after, when the Chicago and North
western was perfected, the attention
of one of the officers was called to
President Van Nortwick's statement.
This officer made rapid computa-
tion, which showed that the Elgin
woodland would not furnish kind
ling wood enough for the roads
locomotives for even single year.
Which suggests the fact that the
annual consumption of railroad ties
alone in the United States is l2O,-
900, 900, or fully one-sixth of the
total cut of timber. In addition to
this there are vast drains upon the
forest for telegraph and telephone
poles and for cross arms, and for
timbers for railroad constructlo on.
AT the present rate of forest de-
struction the United States within
forty years will be absolutely de-
nuded of merchantable timber.
Railroad companies have given a
good deal of consideration to lum-
ber supplies In late years; the spectre
of a timber famine is prominently
before them, and it is recognized
apparition. Ten years ago only the
soundest ties were accepted; seconds
and thirds were promptly thrown
out by the purchasing agents. To-
day these are all utilized. A few
years ago red oak, black oak, beech,
gums, pines and other soft woods
were considered useless.
These woods are now being pur.
chased in great quantities and treat
ed with creosote and other preserva-
tives for ties, poles and cross-arms.
Whole trains are loaded with sticks
to be treated and bodily run into
great retorts. Hot steam is admit
ted into the retort for several hours
and then vacuum is drawn, the
heat being kept above the boiling
point. At the end of the vacuum.
but without destroying the vacuum,
the creosote, from an elevated tank,
is admitted into the retort until it is
full. Pressure is then applied until
