HOLD CONFERENCE
AT White HOUSE
President Invites Governors to
Assemble and Discuss I'M
portant Matters.
ALL HOPE FOR MIDGETs GONE
Supreme Court Finds 1t Acted
Under Misrepresentation and
Dismisses Writ Of Error.

In a letter received here yesterday
President Roosevelt invites Governor
Swanson to attend u conference OF
Governors of the various States at the
white House on May 13, II and 15
1908, for the purpose of discussing
finland waterways, the protection OF
forests, and the prevention of the
washing away of soil. The conference
ipromises to be a most important one,
and the Governor expects q ATTEND.
The letter OF the President TO the
iGovernor concludes as follows.
The matters to be considered at
\ this conference are not confined to
4 any region or group of States, but are
4 OF vital concern to the nation as a
whole, and to all the people. These
subjects include the use and conserva-
ton of the mineral resources, the re-
sources of the land. the resources of
the waters in every part OF our ter
ritory.
In order to open discussion / shall
invite few recognized authorities to
present brief descriptions OF actual
facts and conditions. without argu-
fment, leaving the conference TO deal
with each topic as 1t may elect The
members of the Inland Waterways
Commission will be present, in order to
share with me the benefit of informa-
/ lIuI anu SuSSeSlIcII, dIlC, IL ueSlTeu, TO
set forth their provisional plans and
conclusions.
Facts which | cannot gainsay force
ME to believe that the conservation of
our natural resources is the most
weighty question now before the peo-
pie of the United States. If this Is So
the proposed conference, which is the
first Of it's kind, will be among the
most important gatherings in our his
tory in its effect upon the welfare Of
all our people En-.
that YOU will find 1t possible to be
present"
Writ Dismissed.
The Supreme Court yesterday ordered
writ of error recently granted in the
case OF George Midgets, the Alexandria
negro who is sentenced to hang for
murder. to be- dismissed, 1t having been
granted under misnpprehension.
This action shuts out the last ray
of hope for the prisoner, unless the
Governor shall act which is extremely
doubtful, as he has laid down a rule
that he will not interfere with the
findings OF courts and juries in such
cases, especially where petitions for
writs or appeals are denied by the tri-
bunal of last resort.
Negro Must Hang.
The Governor yesterday declined to
interfere in the case of John ellison,
the Madison county negro, who was
convicted of n most brutal murder,
and WHO is sentenced to hang on No
vembcr 29th. He will take up and
finally determine the case Of John
Taylor (colored), of Caroline, to-mor-
| row. Taylor Is also convicted of muir
der and sentenced to hang. Both the
prisoners appealed to the Governor to
commute their sentences to life i'm

Iecutive clemency are thought to be
very Slim

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
Juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade. Aue cured tobaccos.

Sapt. "Come along"
He was right. The approaching par

no longer, but an irresistible desire
seized me. Pointing to the corpse OF

you know; but you've been good boy
and IL we come to grief, why, hang
me, it'll save us a lot of thinking!
I'll show you how to touch them"
He cautiously closed the open chink
of the door, Then we retreated through
the house and made our way 10 tine

standing. A carriage drive swept all

Fl uE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE

FIe Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In scIlnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs OF to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews OF
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has wholesom =, stimulating,
satisfying effect on eli 7Ters. If the
kind of tobacco you are H. ewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit OF
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
