PETITION FOR PARDON.
To his eXcellency, Hon. E. f. Noel,
Governor of mississippi:

To his excellency, Hon. E. F. Noel,
Governor Of MisSiSSippi:
The undersigned citizens of Grenada
county, state Of Mississippi, respect
fully present this petition for the
pardon Of William Dunn, convicted at
the August term Of the circuit court
in this county il 1902 on che charge
Of rape on the person Of Patsy WOrSham
colored. We beg to make the follow
ing statements of the facts pertaining
to this case:
The defendant Vas charged with
raping the sad Patsy Worsham, who
was then ten or twelve years old, at
the home of her parents in the day
time while her parents were away
from home. There wee several other
children present at the house at tie
time, some of them older than Patsy.
| The dwelling was Immediately on the
| public road and the defendants home
was on the same farm within a half
mile Of where Patsy's parents lived.
When PatSy'S parents, Wiley and
Emma WorSham, returned home the
defendant was there and remained for
several hours and nothing whatever
was said about the affair While be was
there. The defendant has always
been a hard working and industrious
negro and one that was humble and
obedient to white people. we believe
that the whole story IA Matched up
by Wiley Worsham, Patsy's father,
who was d negro that did not possess
even the ordinary reputation Of his
race for truth and veracity, but was Il
three-fold pre- %yaricator. AND we beg
to state further, that the mother OF
Patsy will attach her signature to
this petition, as you will see below.
The defendant has maintained his
good reputation since his Incarceration
as letters of those who have had him
in custody will show. We ask that
your exceilency look over the records
and as far as available, get a full his
tory of the case, and we beg to say
that we believe that you will find that
you are warranted in giving the de-
PENDANT his liberty.
Respectfully,
b. L. HARRIS
III. j. STATEN,
and others.

The Directors Of the Grenada Bank
have been grievef to learn of the death
OF Mr.. r. X. Marders, which sad
event occurred at his home in Oak
land, Miss, or Wednesday evening,
July Sth, 1908. Mr.. Marders was
born in Virginia fiftv-six years ago.
His industry, honesty and rare good
Judgment brought their need Of re-
wared in a successful business career.
His urbanity and kindness won for
him friendships which were true and
lasting. This board had nc more

and advice were often sought and
always freely given. His twelve years
service on this Board are marked with
work honestly, efficiently and faith
fully done.
Therefore be it Resolved that we
deplore the death of so genial and
useful a co-laborer and friend. That
we commend his example in all the
walks of life as worthy Of emulation
by the youth of u country. That
those of us who knew him intimately
valued him the more highly, and that
his memory will eve linger in oul
minds as recollectiols sweet of bygone
days.
Resolved: That to his bereaved
family we extend our deepest sympa-
thy.
Resolved: That the foregoing be
spread IN u minutes. published and
a copy sent to his family.

"A Mile of Engines"

In Elkhart, Ind the New York
Central photographed Tuesday a mile
o. idle engines, 120 in number. This
picture is to be used as an argument
for raising freight rates--a step which
should logically tend to make still
more engines idle.
Meanwhile the American LocOmO-
tive Company Of Schenectady is build
ing for the Central 135 new engines to
be delivered this summer. AS they
are bigger and better engines than
the old they will probably fill a mile
and a Quarter of track when complet-
ed. Why not photograph them?
The Central, like other railroads
pressed into service to carry the phe.
nomenal traffic of the past TWO
years every old engine that would
keep the rails. Being uneconomical
in operation, these fOOtSOre veterans
were bound to be retired at the first
opportunity. They may, as piteously
stated, represent q cost" of 81, O00,-
900, but they are worth now what
they can earn as yard engines or will
bring as junk.
The way for q strong railroad like
the Central to meet slack times is to
cut its dividends. A weak railroads
proper course is 10 become strong by
passing through the water-SGueeZing
process of a receiverShip. TO WOO
back prosperity by raising The cost of
service is folly.-New York World.

In modern journalism editors must

support of their contentious. News
papers are the ever watchful guard

detectives, prosecutors and public ac-
countantS. Criminals hate newSpa-

sail them, incompetent public officials
treat them with affected ScOrn. On

BRYAN AND KERN.

The Democratic National Con
v7eEtion last weak nominated William
j Bran Ter PRESIDENT ana john w.
Nern for Nice-President.
This is Mr.. Bryan'S third nomi-
olation for the presidency, a distinction
enjoyed by but one other man in the
history Of our government, Grover
Cleveland. We regard the ticket as a
strong one and if the comments of the
Republican and independent news
papers indicate public opinion, the
Republican party. too, regards the
al5icket as a strong me. Bryan has
&)een prominently nefOre the country
glOw for more than twelve years.
There has never been the least Init
anation Of a smutty spot in either his
private or public record. He has lost
g9One Of his enthusiastic admirers and
supporters that made bis canvass Of
1896 q memorable che. And in ad-
e1ition 70 this, he has grown on the
confidence of the country. The Re
publican party is now advocating
many of his policies. He would make
the country a great and worthy Presi-
c1ent.
Kern, the nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent, is evidently q strong man and
undoubtedly holds a warm place IL
she hearts Of his home people. The
demonstration over his nomination
10y Republicans as well as Democrats
IN Indianapolis, his home, the other
>light. was an honor and q compliment
that has come to few men. He viii
evidently add much to the ticket.
The platform is all right and it is
believed that the lator vote Of the
country will be almost solid for Bryan
and Kern which means 1000, 600
votes. Let us hope and work for a
great Democratic victory.
