it's maitainance was to insure each road having on it's own rails at al times the exacr number of cars owned by it. h attempting to ac- complish this the organization has miserably failed, chiefly because t had nc power to penalize the roads for disobeying it's order beyond tae established rate of daily rental. When all roads were short of cars no road would give up any Of them when told to do so by the pool man. agement.
 The project of having the clear ing house keep a record of the in- terchange of all cars and collect the rental due each road has failed because all the big companies have insisted on keeping their own re- cords of their cars and making tho collection due them.

TO BOOST
 LUMBER PRICES

Jacksonville, Fla, July 31.-In an attempt to boost lumber prices t~en- ty-seven of the plants identified with the Georgia-Florida Sawmill assocI- alton will shut down tomorrow for period Of one month, and seven addi- tional mills will suspend operations for the month of September. It is possible that the restriction Of the output may be continued for longer time if the desired results are not accomplished. The mill men alege that the high price demanded for timber is not commensurate with the present market price of lumber and that to continue operations would in yolye a heavy loss. It is expected that similar action will be taken by other southeastern yellow pine lumber manufacturers.

tation of the law permits of plea of the 'unwritten law" there are few cases in which 1t is madn where it does not prevail. striking instance of this was brought out yesterday when J. D. Williams, who slew a man who had invaded the sanctity of his home. was given an unconditional pardon by Governor Conner.
 Four unfortunates who have spent many torturous days in the State pen itentiary were objects of Governor comer's leniency yesterday when he exercised his pardoning power, and they no doubt appreciate more than ever the old adage, ITO err Is human, to forgive divine"
 Williams, who was sent up for life. two brothers sent up for ten years each and a boy inflicted with epilepsy. came under the merciful ministration of the Governor.
 J. D. williams, the life prisoner. who was given an unconditional par don was sent up from Bibb county in 1899, on charge of murder, his vic tim being Thomas Nicholson. Williams shot and killed Nicholson under cir cumstances which are basis for a plea of the "unwritten law"
 Recommendations for pardon were made by the trial judge, the prose- cutting solicitor and a large number or good citizens of Bibb county After carefully considering the matter Gov ernor Conner signed the pardon with this endorsement:

NO STEPS TO STATUE
GOVERNOR HAS NOT ACTED IN
 MATTER AS YET.
No Action Towards Erecting Monument To Jefferson Davis in Front of Cnp- itoI Buildings, As Authorised
 By Legislature.

No steps have been taken by Govern or Conner yet towards the work of ar ranging for the placing of the statue of Jefferson Davis on the Capitol grounds, In accordance with the bill passed by the recent Legislature, making contin- gent appropriation of $25,000 for this purpose. Governor Conner said yester- day that he would probably take the matter up on his return to the Capitol from his vacation.
 The demands made upon the time of t.-e Governor has not permitted him to give the matter any attention whatso- ever, but the general outline of the plans so far are to appoint Comis- sion to arrange the details of the in- stallation.
 The Governor will investigate the ad- visibility of appointing this Commis- sion immediately and making a draft upon the treasury for the amount of money needed. If in his judgment the finances of the State are in such condi- toin as to warrant the expenditure Of the amount of money needed, he will probably appoint the Commission at once and have 1t proceed with the work.

years. The murder was committed in the defense of his wife and home. II is questionable if justice did not mis- carry in his conviction"
 The two brothers pardoned are James and Isaac Paradise, who were sent up from Jackson county in 1902 for the murder of George Towers. They were sentenced to serve ten years each, after having remained in jail nearly two years.
 The records show that these two boys lived a short distance from Tow CTS. and following a difficulty between the father of the two boys and Towers on Saturday afternoon, an encounter took place between the three, as the two brothers were crossing a field owned by Towers. An argument en- sued and the evidence was that Towers started towards the boys with hoe. whereupon one of them shot him.
 During their confinement at the State prison the conduct of the two prison CTS has ben exemplary. One of them was in charge of the pack of track hounds and the other was trusty line- man, Petitions from the trial judge. the prosecuting solicitor and many prominent citizens were forwarded to the Governor. They are restored to full citizenship.
 The fourth prisoner, sent up for twelve years from Montgomery coun- ty, was William Caffey. who was pa- rolled in charge of his father pending his future good behavior. Caffey was sent up at the age of seventeen years on conviction of robbery.
 He is an epileptic and has served four and half years of his sentence.

 A rousing mass meeting was held at the Court House yesterday and plans were perfected for securing a high school for Centreville under the recent ly enacted law by wrich the State will maintain such schools in majority of the counties.
 The meeting was presided over by Judge J. l.. Savage. Representative men from this and adjoining precincts were present and the consensus of opinion was that the school should and would be located at Centerville. the conditions for such an institution at this place being ideal in every respect
 Much enthusiasm was manifested over the advantages which would ac- crue to the community, in obtaining the school. and when the subscription was presented one half the necessary amount was subscribed In a few minutes.
 A committee on finance was ap- pointed who will secure the remainder of the funds, and another committed to select the site for the school.
 It is not believed here that the Governor will wait long before setting aside the appro- ion for this pur- pose and when the location of the school is taken up by the authorities the claims presented by Centre will not be disregarded.
