mistakes. Because OF the majority
he received last August Mr.. Blease
seems to think he Is in Office to do
as he plcases, and his avowed inten-

and to confound his enemies. Some
people call that playing politics.

ANOTHER LIFE-TERNiER FREE.
Burrill Thomas, of Hampton County,
Granted u Pardon.

Columbia, March O. Governor
Blease yesterday granted a pardon to
Burrill Thomas, whose petition was
before two Governors heretofore, and
whose original pal" was pardoned
upon Thomas's own statement.
Thomas was serving life sentence
since 1896 for murder, the case hav-
ing been sent up from Hampton
county.
In 1896 Thomas and Ben Bennett
were tried for the killing of John
Lightsey, at Varnville, on December
%, 1895.
Bennett was pardoned by Governor
McSweeney upon the statement by
Thomas that he alone was responsi-
Bile for the killing. This pardon was
given in June, 1903
In 1903 the late G. Duncan Bellin-
ger, who was solicitor at the trial,
wrote that the crime was cruel and
unmitigated homicide" and that the
statement was in the Governors Of
flee that Bennett was innocent and
that Thomas alone was responsible,
and that Bennett was pardoned upon
this statement
Also: "Unless life Imprisonment
be too severe punishment for a cow
ardly murder, cannot appreciate the
statement that Thomas has been pun
ished enough"
Governor Hayward refused to grant
a pardon to Thomas. Likewise, the
petition came before the succeeding
administration. Judge Aldrich, who
tried the case, refused, in 1908, to
recommend pardon. June 8, 1904,
Mr.. Bellinger, former solicitor, must
have changed his mind. for he then
wrote, in view Of the circumstances
then existing, he would recommend a
pardon.
Governor Blease wrote across the
back of the petition Pardon granted.
Cole l.. Blease, Governor, 3-8-11." So
Thomas will be at his old home to-
day.

PAKnoN SOUGHT FOR STRIPPING.
FOl1ner chief Taken from Tower and
Placed in Columbus Jail.

Hamilton, Ga, March 4.-Edgar
Stribling arrived in Hamilton on At
lanta and Columbus train No. 20. He
was in charge of Chief Of Police Will
liams, of Chipley, Ga, this morning,
but was Immediately carried on to
Columbus on the same train. He was
greeted by a large crowd and shook
hands with numbers Of his old friends
from the car window. He was dress
ed In his uniform and looked we'll and
hearty after his trying trip.
1T is understood that he will only
be kept in the Columbus Jail but a
very short time, as he will immedi-
ately be carried to the State farm or
some Of the State penitentiaries. Bail
was not granted him; therefore, he is
being carried to Columbus for con-
hnem"ot IN the Muscogee Jail until
urriiminH'trs can be made for his
place Cl aonfinement in one Of the

MuT Favor Pardon.
Atlanta, Aiirch 4.-That Governor
L4o"n viii grant pardon to Edgar
Stribling, the Danville chief OF police
who has been returned to Georgia,
where he escaped from lifetime
penitentiary sentence, is the belief of
many. Some believe that the Cover
nor Will take his own initiative in the
matter and grant pardon without
formal application being made to him.
Public sentiment Is strongly in ia
for of the freedom Of Danville'r chief.
Although he had been lifetime con-
vict OF Georgia since his escape he has
lived an upright life, they declare,
and Is deserving Of his liberty. There
have been many expressions by some
or Atlanta's most prominent men and
women regarding the case, and those
interviewed have all been In favor Of
the Governors granting Stripping a
pardon.
A formal petition will be presented
to the prison commission in behalf of
Stripping at very early date.
While Stripping was lodged in the
Tower awaiting his removal to the
camps, his wife, who has for fourteen
years guarded the secret Of her hus-
bands past life, lies iii in their home
In Danville, Va, from nervous pros
tration. The sympathy Of all of Dan
vile Is with the grief-stricken wife
and their ten children, who have been
left In home mortgaged and no
means OF support.
Reports from Danville say that dur
ing her whole life In that city Mrs.
STRIPPING, known there as Mrs. Nor
ris, stunned any publicity; that
neighbors would make calls upon her
which were never returned. At first
this offended them, but soon they be-
came to regard her as a bit peculiar
and never expected her to visit them
when they called upon her.

Ovid, Mich, March 9.-William
Faxon's voice was heard at his own
funeral here yesterday. While his
body lay in casket those gathered
to pay final tribute heard two
hymns by him and also heard him as
one OF trio including his son and
daughter In sacred songs.
When the mourners had gathered
in the parlor of the Faxon home in
which lay his open coffin, they were
surprised to hear his voice pealing
an anthem from behind screen of
flowers and palms.
twice the attendants at the fune-
raj service heard his voice in HYMNS
they knew were his favorites. Then
there mingled with his notes those of
his son and daughter
Three years ago, believing his life
was nearing its close. FaXon conceiv-

the time of his death he participated
regularly in the song services.

CLARK'S EARL.y HUME
Cottage Where Champ Spent His
Boyhood Days.
Democratic Leader Chose for His
Birthplace a Humble Pioneer
Cabin Located Among the
Hills of kentucky.

Louisville, Ky.-Tn the matter On
preparation for the presidency, Abra-
ham Lincoln, in his early life enjoyed
few advantages that the Hon. Champ
Clark of Missouri did not possess.
While 1t is true Mr.. Clark was not
born in a log cabin, he did the best he
could under the circumstances and
chose for his birthplace in the Blue
grass State a humble farm cottage
among the cliffs along the Kentucky
river in Anderson county. The cot
tage was a small affair, with low cell
ings, and was constructed of rough
clapboards. 1t was the characteristic
pioneer home of the period. There
were three rooms, the bedroom, the
sitting room and the kitchen and din
ing room combined.
At the time of Clark's birth There
were no railroads in this section Of
the country, and the farmers rode on
store and postoffice for their supplies
and mail
James Beauchamp Clark, son of
James Hampton and Alethea Jane
Reauchamp Clark, was born March Z,
1850, on little farm in Anderson
county, four miles south of Louisville.
His father, John Hampton Clark
was a native Of New Jersey, and was
born where Atlantic City now stands
He was a wanderer, and after rowing
from Philadelphia to New Orleans and
up the Mississippi and the Ohio to
Louisville he finally drifted to Law
renceburg and settled there. Shortly
after arriving at Lawrenceburg he met
Alethea Beauchamp, a frail, beautiful
girl, and after an ardent Wooing they
were married. He was an educated
man, mechanical genius and an ar
dent exponent of Democratic doctrine.
John Clark, after marrying, took up
tinkering with old clocks and doing
dental work. He rode over Anderson
and Washington counties mending old
clocks and practicing dentistry and ex
pounding Democratic principles.
Mrs Clark was also well educated
for those days, having received six
years 'schooling' in convent
There were three children-Marga
ct Louise, the eldest, who died in in
fancy; James Beauchamp, known to
the political world as Champ and
Elizabeth, now Mrs. Elizabeth Clark

ness Mrs Clark died and the body was
laid to rest in the old cemetery there.
She was the first person to be buried
in the little burying ground which had
been set aside by the pioneers of An
dersOn county.
Mr. Clark was in Ill health at the
time of the death of his wife and how
to bring up the two little children was
serious problem. He found an
aged, childless couple in an adjoining
county, who, under his supervision,
took charge of Champ and his little
sister.
1t was with this aged couple that
the future Democratic leader lived IN
til he was II years old, when his faith
er moved to Mackville, where there
was a larger school and greater ad-
vantages for his children.

sources Of danger and makes provf-

generally disregarded or overlooked.
If young trees be girdled in late
spring just as growth Is beginning,
they may be successfully treated by
binding about the wounded parts 4
heavy covering Of smooth tenacious
soft clay A new bark will sometimes
form beneath the clay if the inner
bark or cambium be not entirely de-
stroyed. It is safer, however, to in
sert few long scions.
This is called 'bridge-grafting.
The sap circulation of the tree, cut off
by the wound made by the rodents, is
resumed through the sciOns which be-
come a part Of the tree-enlarging
and growing together until, in after
years, only slight enlargement or
bulge" on the trunk Of the tree thus
treated will be noticeable.
In bridge-grafting, the wounds
should be made clean and smooth
with a sharp knife and covered en-
hn
should be cut a trife longer than the
span to be bridged so that when they
are inserted their curving form will
tend to keep them firmly fixed in po-
sition. The two ends of the scions
are cut to a thin, wedge form. Incl
sions are made in the bark with u
narrow chisel-those above the wound
sloping upward and those below slop-
ing downward. Insert the sciOns firm
ly and wax heavily and securely all
wounds made in the operation, espe-
cial care being exercised to press the
wax in firmly and neatly about the
point of union of scions with the body
of the tree.
To make grating wax melt tOgeth-
err four parts (by weight) of resin

Raspberries should occupy the

not be one that will iniure the trees
Currant and gooseberry bushes

A NEW LIGHT.
Blaugas-A German invention.

For many years it has been the en-
deavor of scientific men to produce an
Illuminating and fuel gas that could be
easily transported and at the same time
give all the advantages of a city gas plant.
No one had been able to accomplish this
until Herman Blau, chemist of Ausberg,
Germany, invented the gas which has since
been named after him. After extensive
experiments a liquifed gas was produced,
that was not only easily transported, but
had many advantages over other llluml-
mating and cooking gases. 1t can be used
with the piping of any gas system and
with any kind of fixtures. AS it is sent
to the consumer in steel bottles it is cas-
lily handled, all that is required is to at
tach bottle to the piping, there's no ashes
to remove, nothing to clean, nothing to
do but turn on gas and use it. 1t Is alb
solutely the safest gas made, as it Is non
poisonous, non-asphy xiating and the least
explosive.
Another feature is the cheapness with
which it can be produced as it is made of
a by-product of petroleum and the entire
factory is run by this by-product.
A number Of prominent business men Of
st. Paul, Minnesota, have incorporated the
Northwestern Blaugas Company and OBJ
tanned exclusive rights to manufacture and
sell Blaugas in the States of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, the northern part
of Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of
Michigan. They have already received
numerous orders for gas and plants, show
ing the large demand that will come as
soon as the factory is completed. A linn
tied number of shares of preferred stock
in the company are for sale and enough
common stock will be given to make it
extremely profitable to those who write
promptly.
