CONVICTS WHO MADE GOOD.
AS, q Railroad Man Once Notorious
Burglar Earns $4,000 Year.

~A~SOo~
Two interesting things are shown
by the records on file with the pardon
clerk at the State capitol. One is
that there are many men in the great
State of New York going through
life with sinister past known neither
to their wives nor children. The
other is that men sent to prison for
penal offenses can live down their
evil ways and become useful and re-
spected citizens.
Most remarkable cases of this kind
came to the attention, of the officials
during the closing days of the ad-
ministration of Governor White.
Names are not made public. 1t has
always been the custom to shield
from publicity such persons as sought
to have their citizenship restored, on
the theory that publication might do
them much harm by branding them
as convicts.
Scores of applications for restora-
ton were made to Governor White,
and quite a few of them were grant
ed. The most remarkable came from
a man who is now prominent rail-
way man in the employ of the Penn
sylvania railroad. He earns a salary
of $4,000 a year and lives in fine
style with his family. His petition to
be restored to the full rights Of citi-
zenship was endorsed by lawyer Of
prominence, who declared that be
and the petitioner himself were the
only living persons who knew that
"the petitioner was at one time a
burglar of considerable reputation" "
In the papers it was explained that
the man served a term in prison for
burglary, but that after getting out
he resolved to "brace up and be a
man." He went to a part of the
country where he was not known
and studied engineering. None of
his associates and no member of his
family knew anything concerning
his dark past. Like practically all
others who seek citizenship years
after being deprived of it, this man
grew tired of making excuses to his
wife and children for not voting.
Another case which attracted con-
siderable attention was that of a
Brooklyn business man who was sent
to prison for robbery in 1872. He
reformed, married, and now has a
family of grown-up children. His
sons last fall expressed surprise that
their father did not vote, and his
explanation was a lame one. To the
officials here he said that he had al
ways feared to swear in his vote lest
some one who remembered the 1872
case would challenge him and ex-
pose his dark secret, which has al
ways been kept from his wife and
children. His application to be re-
stored to the rights Of an American
citizen was granted, as was that of
the Pennsylvania railway man.

South Carolina could not do bet
ter thing than spend a little money
in cooperating with the railroads in
bringing good people from the West
to occupy our idle lands. Thousands
of them are ready to come if they
only knew where to come. The State

Governor Blease talks about econ

This is all right as far as it goes

that of the colleges. If he will speci-

words would have some weight, but
the people expect him to point q
remedy and not merely criticise.

BYRON FARMS MAKE
THEIR FINANCIAL REPORT
Total Value of Products Rails
ed on the Farms Was $16,-
84O.25

The 1910 financial statement of the
byron farms, of Dooly county, which
are used as experimental farms by the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road, has Just been made public by the
Industrial department of the road, The
statement shows that the total valua-
ton of products raised on the farms for
the harvest year amounts to S16,S4O25.
The total acreage Of the farm amounts
to 1909
Among the items shown as products
of the farm are the following: S,6lS
bushels oats; II bales cotton; 1868
bushes corn, 1S,493 pounds pork, "a head
of cattle; four varieties of hay, dairy
products, garden truck and pecan nuts
The products sold during the year
amounted to $11,31S.50, while the pro-
ducts on hand. including cattle hogs,
seed, stock feed and fertilizer, amount
to $5.521.75.
One farm, consisting of 6S 1-2 acres,
operated by A. E. Thompson, produced
s3,4SS, or over $50 per acre. In addt-
ton to his cotton, hay, potatoes. corn
fodder and dairy products, Mr.. Thomp-
son raised a good supply OF sugar cane,
honey, scuppernong grapes, peanuts, ap-
pies, peaches, chickens, eggs, vegetables,
and other produce to supply more than
an abundance for his family of ten. He
has reserved for another year a good
herd of cattle and hogs and the indlca-
lions are that he will kill much larger
amount of pork in 1911 than he did In
1910,
Diversification of the crops is one of
the features of the Byron farms mat
makes them yield larger harvest than
those of other sections, Mr.. Byron says.

ard variety which has been grown for
some years in your community and given
good results is an excellent sort to use
and can probably be relied upon as well
as any of the prolific or newer varieties
brought in from some distance away.
Planting in your 4-foot rows is about
right, and if you leave the stalks six
inches in the row you will need to culti-
vate and fertilize extremely well, as the
number of stalks per acre will be consid-
erably above the standard which is re-
garded as best for Georgia Conditions.
SECOND CROP IRISH POTATOES.
u. S. B., Logansville, Ga, writes: l am
thinking of trying alate patch of Irish
potatoes What variety would suit best
for this climate and when should they be
planted? Would stable manure and cot
ton seed meal make a good fertilizer for
them? The land is gray sandy and is in
wheat this year.
Quite a number of Irish potatoes may
be grown SUCCESSFULLY in Georgia. Prob
ably the favorites are Red Bliss, irish
Cobbler, Beautw of Hebron, Burbank and
Early Rose The best seed to plant for
second crop potatoes is that secured from
the first crop, and as rule, whole pota-
toes had best be planted. The time OF
planting will vary from the latter part OF
July to the first week in August in your
locality You will probably ind some
difficulty in securing good viable seed,
and there is often difficulty in securing a
stand because of the dry weather. How
ever, second crop potatoes are raised with
considerable success by many gardeners
and on a large scale in some sections of
the south; and it is a profitable crop
wherever succeeded with, and oneN can
afford to put some time and effort into
securing a stand.
Stable manure would probably be bet
ter to use under the first crop rather than
the second crop. There is some tendency
owing to the climatic and seasonal con-
ditions to cause the potatoes planted to
rot and the stable manure owing to its
heating qualities would tend to raise the
temperature somewhat and might accent
uate this trouble if used in the middle of
the summer. 1t is considered good prac-
tiee to plant the second crop ofNIrish po-
tatoes right after the first crop, the stable
manure being used under the first crop
and commercial fertilizer under the Sec
ond. A good formula to use would be 500
to 1000 pounds of 10-4-S 1t may be APP
planting but should not come in direct
contact with the seed.
