TOLBERT IS PAROLED
CLEBURNE COUNTY MAN MUST
 NEVER DRINK LIQUOR.
Governor Touched by Pathetic AppeaI of His Wife and Six Children Was Convicted of An
 Assault.

With the touching appeal of a wife and six young children before him Governor Cunningham yesterday grasped a pen and wrote the words that freed Charles Tolbert from the walls of the penitentiary at Speigners While the Governor was touched most by tho pathetic letter written by Mrs. Tolbert, his executive conscience was satisfied by the recommendation of clemency for Tolbert. made by the Board of Pardons. supported by state ments from Solicitor c. c. Whitson and Judge John Pelham who tried the case.
 Tolbert was convicted in Cleburne County of assaulting with intent to kill Josh Ezzell. a white man, near Fruithurst. while drinking. The con- dition of the parole is that Tolbert must forever abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors.
 in granting the parole Governor Cunningham reviewed the case as fol- lows:
 This applicant for executive elem ency was convicted March Is. 1904 for assault to murder and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years. The So- licitor Hon. c. c. Whitson. after re- viewing the evidence. says that since the trial of the case he has been shown
 
 the testimony of the chief state wit ness.
 The afidavits submitted adverse to the character for truth and veracfty of the principal State witnesses are sign cd by D. P. Roberts. J NJ. Cantroll and D. w. Butram. The Solicitor rec ommends that parole be granted the applicant.
 The trial judge, Hon. John Pelham. concurs in the conclusions and recom- mendations of the Solicitor.
 The Board of Pardons recommends parole.
 Tt appears from the testimony that the defendant was under the influence of liquor at the time of the killing.
 His conduct since confinement in the penitentiary has been good.
 Therefore. let parole issue condi- toned upon good conduct and that said Charles Tolbert totally abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors" Since Tolbert was removed tu the stockade at Speigners his wife and six young children have gone there to be near him.
 Mrs. IIolbert in her distress wrote Governor Cunningham that she had been disappointed in securing work at Speigners and that she was destitute Yesterday was a happy day for Tol- bert. his wife and TItie ones. The only time father is more foolish

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


 Chicago, Jan. 14.-Extreme cold weather reduced primary receipts of wheat today nal quotations on May wheat showed gain of A Q F. Corn, oats and provisions are practically unchanged.
 Notwithstanding a slight decline at Liv- erpool the wheat market opened strong here with eMay up $ Q h to h@%, at $f.16% @l.16%. Shorts and commission houses were active bidders. but offerings for a time were comparatively light. The result was further advance in May to 1.17A 91.17ss. The strength was attributed partly to an advance in outside markets yesterday after the exchange here had closed. Among other influences that helped bring out the im- proved demand were predictions of de- crease in worlds shipments for the week. The prevailing cold weather throughout the United States was however. the chief fac tor. 1t being expected that +he extreme cold would furnish an additional check to the movement of wheat from the farms. The statistics of the day proved that these ex- pectations were not without some founda- eIS eiSh, compnreI p witS 4so 4oe year aSo Lste in the day a sharp break occurred on fairiy liberal profit taking by several influential houses.

Fall Outlook in inc South

Peace in the Far East has come to reinforce good crops and industrial ac- ti,-ity and monetary ease at home. It cannot be said that a single cloud hangs over general business in this country-certainly none except the possibility of an early frost in the corn states. Tn two weeks that dan ger will culminate, and if it be passed without material loss to the corn crop a year of activity and prosperity is as- sured to all interests.
 In the south cotton promises to com mand good prices, and in this district iron is firmly held. Confidence in the future prices of both cotton and iron is freely felt and expressed. We do not supply the world with iron because we consume at home all that the home stocks produce, and the aggregate will in the calendar year exceed twenty one million tons. We sell cotton to other countries. and all observers be- lieve the worlds demands for the sta p will push our productive capacity Unremunerative prices for cotton may never return.
 With plenty of money at command for the moving of crops, with an as sured business for the railroads up to-, if not beyond, their capacity, and with every shop, factory and mill crowded with orders, the country is fairly brim- IT, : over with hopefulness and activ- ity. The south will get her share of the good things that are embraced In the outlook, for all it's products are in good demand at good prices, and every day adds something to it's railroad mileage and industrial plants.

Lost Ills Faith.

T am losing my old-tine faith in At- lanta mosquitoes" said the ex-Atlantlan yesterday. Heretofore have considered all Atlanta mosquitoes innocent culex, but the physician members of the Atlanta board of health, Drs. Strickler, Vaughan, Wolff and Browner, admit that stego- myias mingle freely with my cherished culex, and they preferred to see Atlanta, for safety's sake, quarantine against in- fected districts. They were voted down by Mayor Woodward and the civilian members of the board
 And my friend, Dr. Willis Westmore- land. president of the Georgia state board of health. went before the Atlanta board Of health. and told the members of 1t that Atlanta harbors stegomyias There Is no question about that, he said,> and they should either kill all the mosquitoes or else they should quarantine against such places as Pensacola. The local board, he went on to say, could not afford to act upon the surrnise that the fever would not spread So talked Dr. Vest moreland to the city board. and he de- stroyed my faith in the mosquitoes of my native town.''

Tomorrow at AsheviIIe.

The Southern Cotton association is to meet at Asheville, N. O., tomorrow and the avowed object of the meeting Is to name a minimum price for the new crop. The Hoadley syndicate, claiming to hold today 500,000 bales of the old crop, proposes to take on one million bales of the new crop at price to be named by the cotton associa- tion tomorrow. A classified check for million dollars Is to be deposited with President Haryie Jordan as evi- dence of the good faith of the syndi- cate.
 The Hoadley pool is essentially a Wall street pool to bull cotton, and there are some who believe 1t can and will put up the price of cotton. It is based on the belief that the crop will not exceed 1O,5OO,0O0 bales, and crop of that size should in the estimation of the pool command 121a cents. The withdrawal of 100000 bales from the market is expected to enable the pro ducers to command for the remainder of the crop the price to be named at Asheville tomorrow.
 This is a pretty scheme on paper, but corners" in cotton are proverbial- Iy uncertain. They generally burn the fingers of those engaged in them. The consumer and some of the middlemen at least are not apt to pull evenly and truly in harness with the farmer who grew the cotton. However, the Jor- dan-Hoadley scheme is to be attempt er. That it will be able to name prices beyonl the action of the market is highly improbable, but no one on the producing side of the problem will ob- feet to its efforts to render the price of the crop stable and satisfactory.

Increase in Confederate Pensions.

Tn accordance with an act of the last session of the legislature Cover nor Jelks has added $100,00O to the funds available on October 1 in the payment of pensions to the Confeder- ate veterans. The fund for 1905 will thus be brought up to $470,00, as against SSS5,O0O last year. The fund has been increased nearly one-third.
 The old veterans deserve every cent of it. and more in addition, and per hans the next legislature will see way to bring the fund up to the Geor- gia standard. Georgia pays her veter- ans about $S00,000 year, and the Alabama pension fund would have to be increased one-half in order to bring it up to the Georgia level.
 At the best the state pensions are small alongside the federal pensions.
 In the last fiscal year $142,000,, ,00O was disbursed to federal pensioners, of which sum about three millions was taken by the custom house and inter- nal revenue routes from Alabama con sumers. Comparatively little of the three millions is returned to this state. This, however, does not relate to the pensions this state Loyalty pays to it's veterans This state is full of prosperity, and in the few remaining years that the veterans will be with us 1t will certainly be possible to in crease the annual payments to a fig ure that will bring to them in their last years needful comforts of life.

No Cause for Alarm.

Tn discussing the case of yellow sacola the Atlanta Journal says:
 But there Is no cause for alarm and no danger of an epidemic. For if science can be said to have ever demonstrated one fact for a surety. 1t is that the disease called yellow jack cannot spread in the climate of Atlanta. If five hundred cases were to be shipped into the town tomor- row, the disease would run It's course up- on the infected persons and there would be no more danger to the citizens of Att lanta in general than if they were camped upon the rocks of Labrador. In the his tory of former epdemics numerous suf- ferers from the disease have succeeded in entering this town, some of them have died here with 1t, but in no single in- stance has yellow fever been communi- cated In this climate
 It is to be hoped this belief is we'll founded, and yet Atlanta is not so far north as Quebec, an inland city in which yellow fever once became cpl demic.
 Dr. H. F. Harris, the secretary of the Georgia state board of health, re- sides in Atlanta, where he practices medicine. He says the stegomyia mosquitoes are to be found in Atlanta. He further stated that he was bitten by one in his office in Atlanta last week.
 Unless the Journal can prove that the Atlanta stegomyias are under strict discipline or have given bond against the transmission of yellow fe- yer it is not easy to accept It's Labra- dorian theory. Stegomyias are steg- omyias wherever they are found, and it will bother the Journal to explain how 1t happens that Atlanta has one kind of stegomyias and the rest of the country another kind.
 The truth is Atlanta should obey the orders of the Georgia state board of health. The state board orders the larger towns within its jurisdiction to quarantine against infected cities, and it threatens in case of refusal on the part of any town to take charge Of health matters in 1t for the purpose of declaring a quarantine against infect ed points, the expense to be borne by the town thus protected. Atlanta re- fuses to quarantine against infected places and the state board may act

OUR MOTHER.

By John Greeleaf Whittier. I call the old time back: I bring these
 lays To thee, in memory of the summer days When, by our native streams and forest
 ways, We dreamed them over; while the rivu-
 let made Songs of their own, and the great pine
 trees laid On warm noon lights the masses of their
 shade. And she was with us. living o'er again Her life in ours, despite of years and
 pain The autumn's brightness after later rain. Beautiful in her holy peace, as one Who stands, at evening, when the work
 Is done, Glorihed in the setting of the sunl Her memory makes our common land.
 scape seem Fairer than any of which painters dream Lights the brown hills and sings in every
 stream; For she whose speech was always truths
 pure gold Heard, not unpleased, it's simple legends
 told. And loved with us the beautiful and old.

BREAKS WORLDS RECORD.
Leveson Raises Two Ten-Pound Dumb
 Bells 5000 Times.

Chicago, September 4.-By raising two compound dumbel1s 5000 consecutive times Henry Leveson of this city broke the worlds record In a trial yesterday. The test of endurance was witnessed by sev- eral hundred spectators. Leveson's time for the new record was five hours and forty-one minutes, and during the long grind his strength was kept up by nour- ishment given him at frequent intervals by an attendant
 He finished comparatively fresh and made the last 1000 lifts in thirty-six minutes. The former record was made in 1870 by Pennock of Philadelphia, who raised the weights s431 times. Pennock. however, lifted from the shoulders up while Leveson in the record just estab- lished lifted from the arms length up and down. On March 8, 1898, Leveson accom- plished 45O0 lifts in two hours and forty nine minutes.
 The dumbells used were officially weighed prior to the test and were found to be slightly over twenty pounds. Walter P. Steffens officiated as referee and time keeper.

STAMINA OF THE ENGLISH
 DUE TO DRINKING BEER

why cooked vegetables have not the same effect as rev vegetables is largely owing to the fact that the water in which veg etables have been boiled, and which con tains the chief salines of vegetables, has been thrown away. The proper way to cook vegetables, if you want to retain their curative value, is to retain the water in which they are cooked or to steam them without water do not look upon potatoes as at all good vegetable. as they are liable to disease themselves.
 "I am quite at once with Dr. Russell that the cure of consumption rests on in- creasing the digestive capacity and i'm proving its nutrition. There Is, how ever. further point-and on this probably temperance people may misunderstood me, but I am bound to say it-I look upon liquor of grains as one of the most irn- portant causes of the stamina of the English people; that is to say, the beer of old England
 "To my mind 1t is not in the alcohol in beer, but in it's salts, which are ob- tained from barley, wherein consists the merit of the beverage There are two things which I consider very valuable in promoting the growth or the English race. One has been beer and the other has been the old English dish of fur menty," made of barley corn.
