Atlanta, April 22: In denying the
application for pardon filed by Thom-
as Edgar STRIPPING. former police
chief of Danville Va, under sentence
of life imprisonment for the murder
of VIM. j. Cornett, Governor Brown,
tonight. eXcOriateS the 'unwritten
law" which Stripping plead in justifi-
cation of his act. as euphemism pre-
senting, when unmasked, the hideous
feature of anarchy" One of the
most dangerous evils menacing our
institutions is lawlessness." declares
the governor. The mob executing in
wild disorder it's victim and the indi-
vidual wreaking his own revenge for
wrongs real or imaginary, the man or
interest treating with contempt the
laws of the land and trusting to gold
or influence for safety, are striking
manifestations of this spirit of law
lessness." While expressing profound
sympathy for Stripling's family and
high respect for the impulses which
prompted his friends to apply for a
pardon for him, Governor Brown says
that sympathy and personal friend
ship have no right to supplant an
oath bound duty to execute the laws
of Georgia. Above the rolling tide
and Obscurng fog of sympathetic
pleas and emotions we cannot fail to
see the rock of the record which shows
that Thomas Edgar STRIPPING, by a
Jury of his peers, was convicted of the
murder of a fellowman," continues the
governor, that he afterward violated
a second law Of Georgia by breaking
iail and fleeing to another state, and
that, enmeshed in the complications of
his crime, his own brother -in-law.

tentiary within which he was confined
at hard labor, until through doubts as
to his guilt he was set free on recon-

The Rev. T. {. Gebauer, pas
tor pro tenn of the Main Street,
and the Southern Presbyterian
churches of this city had a rough
census taken on Sunday last of
the number of people who were
in attendance at the various
churches, the results of which
are of interest to all.
1t appears that there were 81
people present at the Presbyter-
ian church, of which 25 were
males. The Baptist congrega-
ton was estimated at 100, of
which rs were men and boys.
The Methodist had ISL
people present Of which 61
were as males.
1t seems. therefore, that about
four hundred people, or perhaps
about one fourth of the white
population of Marion, were out
at church on Sunday; and, as is
so often the case, the women
outranked the men in point of
numbers in attendance upon
public worship.
1t is gratifying, however, to
know that there is a marked and
growing interest being mani
tested in church-going on the
part of our men, and one of our
city pastors recently made the
remark that he had noticed a
great improvement in this re-
pect in his own congregation
during the last few months. We
sincerely hope that this improve
ment will continue, and that our
church services will all become
centers of great interest to
everybody.

RUBBER FROM soYA BEANS.

According to a Frankfort publ
cation a German patent has been Sc
cured for the manufacture from the
soya bean of a product to take the
place of rubber. The process con-
sists in the reduction of the oil Of
the soya bean to a thick, tough liquid
through tho addition Of nitric acid,
After further treatment with aka
loid solutions the mixture is heated
to $50 degrees, giving a tough, high
ly elastic product similar to rubber,
which can be vulcanized by the same
process as rubber.
Numerous attempts have been
made in the past to manufacture ar
tifcial rubber and processes which in
the laboratory gave excellent result;
have been found impracticable OF
account of high cost. Whether Thu
latest method will be successful re
mains to be proved.
