STRIPPING CASE

Atlanta, Ca, April GA mass of
correspondence and petitions con.
fronted the Georgia pardon commis-
sion when II met today to consider
the application for a pardon for Edgar
Stripping, the Danville, Va, police
chief who was arrested recently and
returned TO the State to serve a life
term for murder committed fourteen

In the case was evidenced by the fact
that the petitions for Stripling's par
don came from many sections of the

ed letters from many influential per.

the alleged crime was committed,
from Danville, where Stripping, under
the name Of X. e. Morris, was a re-
spected citizen up to the time of his
recent arrest, and from various points
In North Carolina where he worked
after his escape from prison and UP
to the time of his removal to Danville.
The application for the pardon, how
ever, is not without opposition. An
urgent appeal that Stripping be re-
turned to prison to serve his sentence
has been received from the relatives
and friends of w. ). Cornett, who
fell a victim to Stripling's bullet or.
Sept. 4, 1897. At his trial, Stripping
confessed to shooting Cornett, declar-
ing the latter had insulted his wife
and sister. He was sentenced to life
imprisonment. While waiting for
transfer to the penitentiary he made
his escape and had been at liberty
more than fourteen years when he
was arrested few weeks ago. After
his escape Stripping was Joined by his
wife and three children. He now has
ten children.

Putney Farm Uses Traction Engine.

\ traction engine has come out Of the
west like q Young LOChmvar to capture
the hearts OF the New England farmers
and convert them 10 the western methods
Of blowing by machinery. The first OF these
modern agricultural machines seen in this
section is at present being used in blowing
the big meadow Of the LOOMS brothers at
East Putncy.
The meadow is Just across the Connect.
cut river, and can be seen pl1inly by pas
scngers on the Fitchhurg division Of the
Boston & Maine The first good sight Of
the meadow is obtained after leaving the
Ncstmoreland station, going northward,
Here in this meadow a regulation lG.horse-
power traction engine, the same type as
those in use on western farms is employed
as motive power in the operation Of
ploughs.
As the machine operates from one end
of the meadow 20 the other. a column OF
smoke streaming from its stack, it attracts
general attention
The LOOMS brothers obtained the ma
chine az an experiment and contemplate
purchasing it for use in this section, beiiev'
ing that its value can easily be proven to
the agriculturists Of Vermont and New
Hampshire.
There are many uses to which the trac-
ton can be put. 1t is useful not only IN
blowing. but can be hitehed up to saw and
used as power in reducing the winter sup
ply Of cord wood to stove lengths. IL can
also be pressed into service in narrowing,
threshing grain. digging bitches, and as
motor power for hauling grain to market.
In fact. the modern traction engine is an
almost indispensable factor in successful
farming Cheshire Republican.

With which the songs of birds to hear
And eyes to see the sun.
I'm glad I m me.
NV hearts aglee
That some one fair is mine.
I IN glad for children everywhere,
And merry voices on the air,
And hearts that intertwine.

Has come to tread upon my toes,
I've found relief ahead.
I'm glad that

Still pleasing to my sight,
And that as I walk on my way
I still can eat three meals a day
With hearty appetite.
