TO KISS HIS DYING BABY,
STRIPPING Is Sent Homo for One Single
Sud Hour.
(Atlanta Journal, 22d.)

In order that he may kiss his dy-
ing baby before tho littln one
brcathes it's last. Thos. Edgar Strip
ling has been taken from the prison
farm to Columbus, Ga, to-day, un-
der heavy guard, and will be permit
ted to spend an hour or two with his
unhappy wife and family.
The necessary orders we're signed
early Tuesday morning by Governor
Slaton, with the concurrence OF
Chairman Dawson, OF the prison
commission.
The action was tho result Of a
heart-rending letter received Mon
day by the Governor from Mrs. Strip
ling. She told how she and her ten
children had suffered actual destitu-
tion since the husband and father
had been taken from them, and that
her distress had now been rendered
almsot unbearable by the approach
ing death Of one Of her little ones.
In the name Of humanity she beg
ged the Governor, if he could not see
his way clear to sign pardon or
parole, at least to accord her hus-
band the privilege OF returning home,
If only for a moment, for last look
upon the face OF their dying child.
The Governor and Mr.. Dawson
were profoundly touched by the let
ter and decided at once to grant the
request. AS a necessary precaution
Stripping Is accompanied by two
guards, who are instructed not to
take the slightest chances with their
prisoner.
Thomas Edgar Stripping killed
william Conct. in Harris county,
years ago and was convicted Of muir
der. Shortly after beginning to serve
his life sentence, he escaped, and dis
appeared. After a decade, or more.
he was located in Danville. Va,
whore he had become chief of police
and was highly regarded citizen.
He was brought back to Georgia. The
whole South watched the outcome of
the appeal for pardon. The pardon
was recommended by the prison
commission, but was turned down by
Governor Brown. and Stripping went
back to prison. Governor Smith took
no action in the Stripping pardon ap-
peal. and Governor SIaton will take
none.

Lad of Eight Dies on Rail.

Na"la"ry, Nov. 23.-Auuther
tragedy was added to the long list Of
casualties in the Ncwbcrry railroad
yards in the past few years, when an
eight-year-old white lad was ground
beneath the trucks OF a freight train
at the Main street crossing, Just
north OF the union passenger station,
Tuesday afternoon. The victim was
little }. B. Taylor, son of Mrs. Jose
phi2e Taylor, OF the Newberry cot
ton mills village. The lad had been
sent from his home in the mill VIII
lage to the city to purchase a spool
OF thread. AS he was crossins the
Southern railroad tracks at Main
street string Of freight cars on the
track of the Southern railway were
nit by shifting engine and knocked
against the little boy. 1t appears
from the testimony at the coroner's
inquest that the engine had been
swltchig down near the overhead
bridge, on Boundary street, and that
coming on up towards the O'Neall
street crossing, a switch ahead of It
was thrown by a brakeman, without
the knowledge Of the engineer. The
engineer proceeded, thinking he had
clear track, but the switch having
been thrown, the engine crossed over
TO the house track, and hit the string
or cars standing there, resulting in
the death Of the little boy. Tho
BODY was horribly mangled. The
train was Southern freight No. 65.

Do you ever feel that you simply
can't go any further-that you must
have rest from that lame and aching
back--relief from the constant, dead
tired feeling-freedom from those
stabbing, darting pains? Likely
your kidneys are worn and tired and
need help. The kidneys work night
and day, removing uric acid from the
blood and other waste created by
exercise Of strength and energy.
Naturally a life Of unusual activity
doubles the duties Of the kidneys and

So far hath he removed our trans

He remembereth that we are dust,
AS for man, his days are as grass
AS flower Of the field, so he -four

For the wind passeth over it, and
1t is gone:
And the place thereof shall know

But the mercy Of the Lord Is from

To such as keep his covenant:
And to those that remember his
commandments to do them.

And his kingdom ruleth over all.
