To ASK PARDON
Of GOV. SMITH
Trends Of Stripping Think He viii
be Kinder Than Brown

Atlanta. July 31.-In the newt
week or so lawyers for Edgar Strip
ling will make another appeal for ex
ecutiye leniency for their client, who
is now serving his life sentence in
the Georgia penitentiary for the MUIR
der of w. j. Cornett. fifteen years
ago, a few months before he made
his escape from prison and went TO
Danville, Va, where he became chief
of police.
II Is the belief OF his lawyers that
Governor Smith will be more inclin-
ed to look with favor on the petition
than was his predecessor, Governor
Brown, who turned il down after the
prison commission had passed favor.
ably upon the application. The fact
that the prison commission had seen
fit to recommend pardon on ac-
count of Stripling's good record as a
citizen since his escape, will play,
they believe, strong part in any
action that Governor Smith may
take.
Mrs. Howard Durham, sister of
Stripping. and the woman on whose
account the killing is claimed to
have been committed, was in the city
last week, and made two attempts to
see Governor Smith. Her trouble in
egtting an audience grew cut of the
fact that the legislature IS in SEES
sion, and Governor Smith is very
bnsily occupied with matters OF state.
The legislature will adjourn in
about two weeks. however, and Gov
ernor Smith will be at liberty for the
other duties of his Office, since he has
decided NOT to go to Washington uu-
til December.
II is understood that Mrs. Durham
has been given an engagement, and
will return to Atlanta this week TO
see Governor Smith about the
matter.
Striplilg's health has been very
poor. and this will be another one
of the reasons urged for his liberia
ton. The application will be bitter
" fought. as was the case at the
FIRST hearing.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON,

whether it is customary to acknowI-
edge Valentine postcards? 1 do not
know, and I am so anxious to do the
courteous thing"
So a young person wrote to me a
few weeks ago.
answered her to the best of my
ability, but I confess 1 could not help
smiling at that last sentence You
see it didn't seem possible to me that
do the courteous thing" could have
closing a stamp, to say rothing of a
self addressed stamped envelope.
She has many brothers and sisters
in this lack of courtesy. Almost daily
some epistle comes to me asking help
or information or advice, and omit
ting to do the decent thing by supply
ing me with the vehicle in which to
send what is wanted.
It seems to me rather like going
over to borrow something of a neigh
Dor, and not only expecting her to
supply the molasses and milk, but nom
chalantly announcing that you didn't
see fit to bring a cup and that she
will have to supply that, too.
Only in the case of a stamp, it is a
gift, not loan, that's asked.
Yes, 1 know two cents is a very
little matter
But a hundred two cents is more,
and a thousand two cents means a
good deal to most of us
incidentally you might be interested
to know that I do not supply the
