A reAvEsN ON JUSTICE.

In Georgia the friends OF proml-
nent man convicted of attempting 10

man has TO wear stripes and work on
the State roads for one year. the
prisoner was arrested on the charge
of masquerading as an old negress'

Alternating to outrage her. jury
heard the evidence, found him guilty
and sentenced him TO one year III
prison at hard labor. The strange
part OF 1t all is how a jury that would
return a verdict of guilty could ar
rive at the degree of punishment. IL
the man was innocent 1t was 4 shame
to, charge him with such a revolving
offense and he should have been Bet
free at the earliest possible moment.
On the other hand. If he was guilty
at all, no wretched negro that ever
was hanged to a tree or burned at the
stake deserved death more than ne
The board OF pardons recommend
ed that the sentence Of the prisoner
be committed from year at hard Ia
Tor TO year on the State farm. the
state of his health being the ground
given for the action.
Fortunately. Governor "Joe" Brown
declined to prove the recommends
-tion. Had the governor granted n
pardon. those unfamiliar with the evil
dence in the case. at least. could not
have blamed him. for it would nave
been taken for granted that he con-
sidered the prisoner innocent. But
to have committed the sentence under
such circumstances would have been
a more dsgraceful travesty on justice
than the verdict OF the jury Itself.

About one third of all the associa-

is to advance the cause Of the Chris

learn that of the total of nearly half
