woryxfnr for HarIan.

Prominent men in Pensacola and in other cities of the South, as well as the North and East, are working to secure executive clemency for Manager W. S. Harlan, of the Jackson Lumber Company, at Lockhart. who, unless a pardon Is granted him, will have to serve eighteen months in the Federal prison at Atlanta and in addition pay a fine of $5,000.
 That everything possible will be done to secure pardon for Mr. Harlan goes without saying. as he Is one of the most prominent and wealthy lum- bermen of the South, and his family one of the most honored in the coun- try, his uncle being one of the Su- preme Court Justices of the United States. In addition to being manager of the Jackson Lumber Company, which numbers among its stockholders men prominent in political and busi- ness world, MT. Harlan is himself a heavy holder of stock in the concern.
 The fine of s5,000 would be readily paid if the prison sentence is commut- ed. as well as the heavy fines of the four other men connected with the company, who are also to serve from thirteen to eighteen months in the At lanta prison.
