etition for ardo n

To his Excellency; James X. Vardlman
Governor of the State of Mississippi:
Your undersigned petitioners would
respectfully pray at your hands a par
don for J. MIN Smith who was convict
ed of manslaughter on March End 1906
in the Circuit Court of Lee county and
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for a term of seven years from that
date, and we present this petition be-
cause we feel that this is a case which
peculiarly calls for executive clemency.
The undisputed facts of the case are
as follows: that Smith was a constable
and deputy sheriff of Union county for
many years and was an excellent officer
and for that reason had made many
enemies in the immediate section where
the homicide occurred. That at the
time of the killing Smith had a war
rant for the arrest of one Jesse Bethea
for whose killing Smith was CONVICTED
of manslaughter and was attempting to
arrest him. On the day of the killing
Bethea while drinking pulled his pistol
and fired it and stated that MIN Smith
could not arrest him or words to that
effect. Smith went at night oyer into
Lee county from Union county with his
warrant to arrest him, and went to
Bethea's fathers house where young
Bethea lived and there the killing took
place, the testimony being conflicting
as to how it was done, the Bethea
family testifying to a state of facts
which if true made a plain case of as
sassination and the evidence of the de-
PENDANT and a friend who had gone
with him to point out the house of Be-
thea to Smith making it a plain cas- OF
self defense on the part of Smith who
thought his life in danger.
We most earnestly therefore petition
your excellency to grant to this splen.
did officer of the law an immediate
pardon.
Respectfully submitted,
J. MIN SMITH and a large number OF
others.

To Lee County Farmers.

We notice in the Farmers I'm
ion work that there is an effort
being made to get in a position
by next harvest time to wrap
our cotton in wrapping made of
the same fibre, which we will
have to acknowledge will be a
great advantage to the farmers
If they will only come together
and hold out for it. Just say to
your mill man that you are not
going to have your cotton wrap
ped in anything else but cotton
bagging, aad another thing is
the fertilizer we use ought to be
put up in nothing but cotton
bags, and good ones at that. We
should ask for what we want if
we ever expect to become indie
pendent.
Some of you good farmers,
know, will say, I'VE must not
ask for too many things and we
will come nearer getting what
we want. If | go and ask Mr..
Ginner to put my cotton up in
cotton bagging, he won't pay me
any attention; if | go to my mer-
chant who sells fertilizer or to
some factory and say, Now, |
want my fertilizer in cotton
bags he will laugh at me and
say that that can't be, that it is
impossible, or if l say, Mr.. Mer-
chant, | want my fourth cotton
sacks he would laugh me to
-scorn."
Well, yes, l suspect he would
if you or | go to him alone, but
if WE ALL come together and
say, eve want our cotton wrap
ped IN nothing but cotton bag
ging and our flour in nothing but
cotton sacks and our fertilizer
the same way" we will get
what we want.
Why should the cotton mills
refuse to make a kind of cloth
that would be suitable for wrap
ping cotton, or why should the
ginner refuse to use this goods,
and the same way about the fer
tilizer and flour?
Gentlemen, we ask that all
farmers, and more especially the
members of the Farmers Union,
think seriously over this matter,
for it is nothing but fair and
right that we should look after
our own interests. We have let
the other fellow look after it too
long for us now, and it is high
time we take hold of our own
work.
We have patronized the tim.
Der men of the north by using
their timber for barrels and the
Hawaians by using their jute
for sacks, and seemed to never
once think to patronize our
own neighbors and ourselves by
having our cotton made into
sacks to hold our flour and ferti.
lizer or to wrap our cotton or tc
sack our potatoes, oats, corn OF
anything else we wish to put uI
in sacks of any kind, and there
by use the product of our own
labor.
| think it is high time we were
waking up and seeing what there
is in store for US
God has blessed this Southland
of ours With everything that hu:
man heart could wish for and
yet we will just go dragging
along and take just whatever is
given US and not try to right the
wrongs but we are always grum-
bling because the other fellow
is doing better than we are. So
always examine yourselves be-
fore you grumble, and see who
is in fault.
Sincerely,

Southern Fruit and Truck Men
at Mercy of refrigerator Trust.

New York, Larch 81. Straw
berries and co'ery arriving here
from the South are in unusually
poor condition, owing, it is said,
to the manipulations of the re-
frigerator car combine, which is
part and parcel of the Beef Trust.
Commission men allege that there
are now on the docks here twen-
ty-five cars of the California cell
berry which, owing to delay in
transit and to Inadequate refrig-
Grafton, ought 10 be seized by the
Department of Health. A large
consignment OF over-ripe straw
berries arrived yesterday from
Florida and had 10 be sold as low
as S1.25 a crate, less than four
cents a quart. Cabbage from
South Carolina is being delivered
here by the refrigerator combine
in such bad condition that it was
sold yesterday al 40 to so cents a
crate.
The refrigerator car combine
recently Withdrew, it is said,
many of it's &C. T. IT." cold stor-
age cars from the freight service
between here and the South and
is substituting Armour cars,
which have ice tanks at both
ends but none on top. 1t is
charged many of the cars reach
New York without any ice in
their bunkers.
The refrigerator car combine
also raised the freight rate last
week by adding fifty crates to
the former minimum number
which every car must contain be-
fore the railroad would move it.
The new regulation, commission
men say, puts more crates in a
car than can be refrigerated
properly.
The combine is said to be evad-
ing the Interstate Commerce
Commission law, which requires
the railroads to give every ship
per proper shipping facilities.
The Beef Trust is said to be get
ting around this by allowing a
person, usually a big shipper ora
big commission merchant, to
charter a car and keep it at any
station in the South until it is
loaded by the one to whom it
was chartered.
If the car had been chartered
by a New York commission mer-
chant he will not put in it stuff
not consigned to him. A grower
who wishes to ship to some other
commission man must either char
ter another car or send his per-
ishable products by express,
where they are often roughly
handled, and reach New York in
the day time instead Of at night.
Southern peach growers last year
lost more than 81, 900, 900 because
the railroads hadn't cars enough.
The Beef Trusts refrigerator car
combine is alleged to be charging
a profit on the ice it used in the
cars, contrary to it's agreement. |
The Atlantic Coast line has cut
off it's pickup freight trains.
This cuts out shipments from the
smaller stations and tends to put
the growing Of truck in the
hands of a few rich farmers. i
Southern growers. and New
York commission men are arrang-
ing to make a united complaint
to the international Commerce
Commissions. N. O. Picayune.

WORTH ALL OF MISSOURI
Six Miles of Manhattan Assessed for
Immense Sum.

New York, Aug. 26.-In his report
to the mayor the president of the tax
board, Lawson Purdy, makes this in
teresting comment en- the land values
of the city:
1.-The value of land today in New
York city is SO enormous that 1t is
hard to realize Its amount without
some comparisons. The assessed value
of land alone, exclusive of improve
ments, in the city of New York is
greater than the assessed value OF all
the real estate, improvements includ-
ed, in the state of Pennsylvania and
nearly twice as great as the value of
all the real estate, improvements in
cluded, in the state of New York out
side the city The assessed value OF
the land for six square miles OF Man
haitian in the neighborhood OF Central
Park, Is greater than the assessed
value of all the real estate in the state
of Missouri"

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
Some Improvement Shown on the
Stock Exchange.

New York, Aug 26.-The most Sc
rious conditions of the previous week
in the stock market have given way
to better tone and a marked diminu-
tion of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence of further liquidation, but the
public utterances of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations of political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There is threatened
stringency, not only at home, but in
most of the worlds money markets.
The tightness of money precipitated
another commercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made on bases well in excess of nor
nal rates, and the banks are safe
guarding their reserves in anticipation
OF crop demands.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 26.-The At

to an official statement issued by Sec
retary Loeb at the direction of Presi-

The statement was made following a

"A conference between President
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the

son, chief of the bureau of navigation
and Rear Admiral Evans, commander
Of the Atlantic fleet, was held to de-

with the fleets going to the Pacific.
"The feet will consist of sixteen
battleships and will start some time

of Magellan and up to San Francisco
and probably will also visit Puget

COST OF OPERATING ROAD
Figures Brought Out at Southern Rail-
way Hearing.

Washington, Aug. 26.-With some
slight assistance in the form of guesses
by Vice President Spencer of the
Southern Railway Speaker Justice of
the North Carolina legislature comput-
ed that it cost only $5437 TO operate
passenger train Of two coaches and
baggage car on the North Carolina
railroad from Goldsboro TO Greensboro,
distance of 134 miles. BY the same
method of deduction the speaker cal
culated that the revenues from this
train could amount to $500 and that
the difference would be the profit to
the railroad He took the position
that in this manner the cost of opera
tion and the revenues of the Southern
Railway system could be computed to
refute the testimony previously given
by Mr.. Spencer that it cost an average
OF $1.03 per train mile to operate a
passenger train in the state and that
the revenues from the train would
average S1.25 per train mile, including
mail and express. This was the fea-
ture of the days hearing in the North
Carolina rate case before Special Mas
ter Walter A. Montgomery, appointed
by Federal Judge Pritchard to take
evidence.
