Late tonight Hoch consented to an interview, and throughout the conyer- sation he stoutly insisted that he was an innocent man. He was calm, in fact about the calmest man in the room at the time. When asked if he had any confession to make, or whether he would reveal his identity before he died, Hoch replied:
 As to confessing anything. have nothing to confess, except bigamy, and that I have already confessed. My identity will not reveal. I will keep that secret like man, and 1t will go to the grave with me. !

Springfield, H., July 27.-Regarding the case against Johann Hoch, who is to be hanged tomorrow, 1t was ascer- tained at the governors office to-day that the governor refrained from inter fering because Hoch was granted a re- prieve of five and a half weeks, from June 21, in which to present his case to the supreme court, but failed to present any errors, in fact or law, to the jus tices of the court or to the governor, except by telephone. The state attor- ney's office of Cook county assured the governor that the case was tried with care for the rights of the defendant, and that the only point raised by Hoch is the right of a woman whom he mar ried to testify against him. The state proved that Hoch was married to an- other woman from whom he was never divorced when he married the woman who testified against him. And as the supreme court has decided against the point raised by the defendant the gov ernor felt that he was not justified in granting further extension of time, especially since Hoch's crime was so atrocious.

Oh, my dear friends, you who are
letting miserable misunderstanding
run on from year to year; you who
are keeping wretched quarrels alive
because YOU cannot quite make up
your mind that now is the day to
sacrifice your pride and kill them;
you who are passing them sullenly
upon the street, not speaking to
them out of some silly spite, and yet
knowing that it would fill you with
shame and remorse if you heard that
one of those men were dead tomor-

your neighbor starve till you hear
that he is dying of starvation; or let
ting your friends heart ache for a
word of appreciation or sympathy,
which you mean to give some day-if
you could know and see, and feel all

another chance to do.

Mr.. ?. Anthony, organizer for the
American Society of Equity in Pitt
sylvania County, has issued All invi-
tation to the Interstate Tobacco
Growers Association and to llinde-
pendent tobacco growers of the
bright belt section to meet THAI socie-
ty at their convention to be held at
Owenboro, Ky, on October 18th.
An attempt will be made at this
meeting to regulate the price of to-
bacco and the cooperation of every
farmer is asked to that end.
Mr.. Anthony, in his invitation to
the Virginia and North Carolina
farmers recites the fact that this sec
ton grows too much fine tobacco to
sit idly by ard let their crop take
care of itself. He states that the
farmers who have patronized Dam
vile, the largest loose leaf tobacco
market i'll the world, for the past
year have lost more than Il million
dollars by not obtaining the prices
scheduled by the American Society of
Equity. He urges the assistance of
the farmers in making legislation
which will protect the planter OF the
staple crop.

Young Men Wanted.

Every Young man in this cOmmnn-

street corners. from the lOafing rem
devious, from the idlers promenade;
turn your steps into the highway OF
noble aim and earnest work. There
are prizes enough for every successful
worker. crowns enough for every
honorable head that grows through
the smoke OF conflict to victory.
There is within the young man an
upspringing OF lofty sentiment which
though there are obstacles to be sur
mounted and difficulties to be van

poses and cxertiOn. he may crown

But why do SO few young men OF
