AFTER TWENTY YEARS
A Convict Returned to His Cell Nolun-
tariy-Was Converted.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 3o.-After a
week in prison, Henry Baker, whose
conscience led him to abandon the re-
spectability he had achieved and to sur
render. expresses no regret for his de-
cision to come back to Tennessee and
serve out the sentence from which he
escaped twenty years ago.
Since he escaped the prison here he
has been leading an upright life. and has
prospered as farmer near Gadsden,
Ala. His decision to come back and get
this prison sentence off his mind was
prompted by the fear that some day he
would be apprehended and brought
back He now has family and he did
not wish to have his mistake of youth
hanging over him as a menace to the
peace and happiness of his family at
son1e future date.
The offense for which he was sent to
the penitentiary from Decatur county
was wearing mask in violation of the
huklux law and OF attempting TO rob.
AT that time Baker was only 10 years
old and married
Not long ago he became converted
and joined church. He is so sincere
in his desire to lead a better life that he
insists upon clearing his own record
There is movement already on foot
not started by Baker. but by the people
of Nashville impressed by his strange
story, to obtain a pardon for him. He
did not come here expecting clemency,
and before leaving home arranged his
affairs for long absence, expecting to
serve the nine remaining years Of his
ten-year sentence

THREE KINDS
Of Democrats i'll Congress as CLASSIC
by Representative Ransdell.

The Picayune's Washington, D. |.
correspondent in a report of reeert da

lana today made the following statenienl

on the ways and means committee TO
the Sixty-sccond Congress. to be select
cd at the caucus on January 1g:
There arc three schools of thought
on the tariff in the Democratic party,
and il would be most unwise I'd select
representatives of only one idea as mems
bers of our great political committee. A
few are free traders: some adtocate
free raw materials with a revenue duty
on manufactured articles, and many
favor tariff for revenue so graded as
to impose moderate rate of duty OH III
inportations.
The central idea of the Denver plat
form was that the Dingley tariff was
full of iniquities and should be reduced
to a revenue basis We are pledged to
carry out that principle and must do so
iii good faith or suffer the consequences.
The Republicans tried last year but
failed in toto; the people repudiated the
Payne-Aldrieh tariff overwhelmingly
and look to us for relief
How shall it be given The first step
IS to select wise, conservative, broad
gauged men for the committee on ways
and means. Our party stands for the
people in every section of the Republic
and their respective interests greatly diff
fer What suits the manufacturer of
may be very distasteful
to the farmer and the raw material pro-
ducer OF Georgia, and in order to pro-
duce that concord and concert necessary
to future success all sections and all
lhree schools should be represented on

'ther policy would be fraught with great
langer to the party We must have har-
nony and unionism in our ranks, sanity

wise legislation and convince the coun-
ry that our party is worthy to be en-
listed with the supreme power so long

THE NEW YEAR.

The Old Year with its bitter regrets
its disappointments, stranded hopes ant
ambitions, is gone and If possible let al
these be forgotten. At least, if these
will crowd at times on the mind, strive
10 dissipate the gloom.
However. there are memories which
are sacred and which are linked TO the
grave The voices that cheered lovingly
are silent forever to this world, but their
sweetness may be recalled tenderly and
lovingly
There is not home without its va
cant chair; there is not home which at
Christmas tide and on the advent of the
New Year is without its pathetic syru-
pathy when there is recalled the figure
of those we hope to meet again.
This faculty Of the mind to recall our
loved one is a God-given blessing to
mankind; yet we should not repine, nor
grope in the shadows of melancholy
OF the Old Year there should be a
heartfelt eherishing of all that which is
bright .and btissful
As We journey onward to the end of
life it Is comforting to reflect that our
griefs, after ALL are mellowed by sun
shine and that our joys are greater than
our sorrows.
As we stand on the brink OF the New
Year, we may, fipuratively, venture into
a piercing into the future. but FORUM
ateiy, in vain. If we could read or know
the future, life would scarcely be worth
the living Indeed, with the fullest rev.
erence we should appreciate this impos-
sibility ordained by an all wise Provi-

If we can not know the future, we are
blessed with Hope, that endowment |
which fortifes man and leads him on to
overcome all obstacles and finally in
reaching his goal, when he shall have
lived his hope to be again with his loved
ones TO part no more
AS we stand on the brink of the New
