cases were correct and in accord with
justice, Governor Brown declined to
heed the recommendations of the
prison commission, and let the SEN
fences stand just as they were passed
by the courts
1t is an index as to what may be
expected in matters of this character
during Governor Browns administra-
ton. That it will be a source of en-
enlargement to the law-abiding and
to the courts charged with the ad-
ministration of the law cannot be
questioned.
Clemency cannot be bought with
political influence; pardons will be
granted or denied only in accordance
with the justice of the case.
Judging by the numerous letters
and kilograms which Governor Brown
has received congratulating him up
on his action in these two cases
nothing which he has done during
his entire political career has SO
him in statewide pub
lie opinion.

JUDGE MARTIN LUTHER ELLIS.
Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Adopts
Resolutions ON His Death.


On July IA, 1909, an allwise and
mercifuI Father in His boundless
wisdom saw fit to call from earth
to Heaven our friend and brother,
Judge Martin Luther Ellis. Brother
Ellis was born August 5, 1868, be-
ing nearly forty-six years of age at
the time of his death.
He was unassuming and gentle in
disposition. His sunny smile and
CHEEKY spirit will long be remem-
bered by all who came in contact
with him. Brother Ellis was justice
of the peace of his district, and filled
that office with great credit. He had
the confidence of all who knew him.
In all relations of life, as husband,
father and friend, he exemplified a
pure christian character, and often
by his silence as by his upright con-
versation, persuaded all that he was
a child of God.
Sister Ellis and family, while it is
true
"a precious one from you has gone,
A voice you loved is still,
A place is vacant in your home
Which never can be filed.
"Yet God, in His wisdom, hath re-
called
The boon His love hath given,
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
eve know you are sad and lonely
now,
But to Divine decree we must bow,
For Gods grace is sufficient for all
Who will on Him at all times call"
Dear Father, lead us to that blessed
place
Where tears shall no more each
other trace
There our Savior and loved ones we
shall meet,
And our stay together shall be
long and sweet"
Whereas, it has pleased our Heav-
emily Father to remove from our
midst Brother NJ. L. Ellis, we offer
the following resolutions:
LIST. That we bow with humility
before this sad dispensation of Prov
idence, feeling that though we see
through a glass darkly," yet we know
He doeth all things we'll"
2nd. That we, as a church, have
sustained a painful loss, as he was
consistent member of the same.
3rd. That we extend to the sor-
rowing family our heartfelt sympa-
thy.
4th. That copy of this be spread
on the clerks books in memory of
our brother.
5th. That a copy of these resolu-
lions be furnished to the bereaved
family and to The Dawson News for
publication.

ATLANTA.-In two cases upon
which he was called to act last
week Governor Brown has given evil
dence of a determination not to be
swayed from his duty to the state
by political influences.
Practically every one of the dozen
or more prominent and influential
citizens of Thomas county and that
section of southwest Georgia who APP
peared before him to urge executive
clemency for William H. Mitchell,
convicted of assault and battery upon
Miss Lucille Linton and sentenced to
serve twelve months on the chain
gang, was his political friend.
Of course the application for elem
ency was in no sense based upon
that fact; but the governor knew
they were all his political and per-
sonal friends, and his adverse decis-
ion was made the harder to him by
the fact of such knowledge. Yet he
performed the duty unhesitatingly as
disagreeable as it was, and declined
to interfere with the sentence of the
court.
Following close upon the Mitchell
case Governor Browns decision also
not to interfere with the sentence of
the court in the case of Olin Pharr,
former cashier of the Citizens Bank
of McRae, who is serving four
years sentence for the embezzlement
of SIS, 700, has served to entrench
him still further in the public esti-
nation among those who believe
that the law should be enforced re-
CARELESS of conditions and influences.
Those who presented Pharr's APP
peal for Communication of sentence
were likewise political friends of
Governor Brown, but the governor
took the view that he could not af-
ford to pardon after fifteen months
service q man convicted of stealing
$4,000.
What an encouragement to en-
bezziers such a pardon would bel"
Governor Brown said in discussing
the case.
There are plenty of men who
would be glad to serve time in the
penitentiary at the rate of $1,000 a
month, and l verify believe it would
prove an inducer. ent to some to steal
all they could, hide it away and,
after a few months Imprisonment,
come out to enjoy their ill-gotten
gains"
The governor did not propose at
least to make the executive a party
to any such get-rich-quick schemes
as pardons in cases of this class
might encourage.
He did not leave the inference that
he thought any such thing as this
had been done in the Pnarr case;
Pharr may not have profited one
cent from the money he took he
may have had the unquestioned in
tention to make restitution when pos
sible. Still there might be in such
a pardon, if granted, encouragement
to others who would take a chance
of getting away with the cash.
Not with an attitude of hostility,
but simply because he believed the
sentences of the courts in these two

1T is rumored that warrants for

it is alleged-have been issued, but
if they have been served we have
been unable to ascertain the fact.
The warrants, if issued have not
