Give him chance for a decent start,
Before the devil his snares has flung
Or poisoned the blood of boysh heart;
Give him chance for air and sun,
For happy play with happy throng.
AS the twig is bent the trees inclined,
And ever this Selfsame truth we find
That the bad mans only grownup boy
Gone wrong!
Give him a chance in the busy game,
Give him chance for the best he knows.
You raise boy in sin and shame
And he won't be white as the driven SHOWS:
But give him the chance that he ought to have
And he'll wax manly anil fine and strong
It's the youth that's spent in rotten slum
That makes the thief and the thug and bum,
For the bad mans only grownup boy

 ID RANKIN FARM Charges Against Gathings of Mississippi Convict
 Farm Still Pending

Jackson. Miss, June 29.-(Special.-The charges filed by the attorney general against Superintendent Gathings of the penitentiary farms have not been with drawn nor have they been dismissed. Nothing in that direction will be done be- fore the board of trustees meets next week. and it. is believed all hatchets will be buried so far as the superintendent is eoncerned-the white convicts having been returned to the Rankin farm.
 Acting Governor Bilbo and Assistant At torney General Clayton, who rode horse back to the farm, eight miles and back. reported on their return that everything was moving along nicely and that the convicts seemed glad toi get back home. '' These officials were caught in a heavy rain on their return ride and were wet as drowned rats when they arrived in Jackson. General Clayton is so stiff and sore from the effects of the jaunt that he had to have his cushioned chair re- inforced for the day. Governor Bilbo rode a rough horse, but the trip seems to have done him good and he Is none the worse for wear
 Acting Governor Bilbo has granted a pardon to c. H. Volm, a white man, who was convicted nearly two years ago ir the Franklin county court on the charge of forgery. His sentence was for two years, and the pardon is to restore him tc citizenship.

WILLIAM BANKHEAD
 IS CONGRATULATED
Favorable Comment Heard on All Sides of His Speech
 Nominating Underwood

Montgomery. June 29.-(special) )-Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery. chairman of the state democratic executive commit tee, declares that the speecn of William B. Bankhead in placing the name of Oscar W. Underwood in nomination for President of the United States was one of the finest he has ever read.
 The speech of William B. Bankhead was masterly,p said Tyler Goodwin, ''and reflected credit not only upon the young orator, but upon the entire state. The speech was worthy of the subject, and think Alabamians should feel proud of the wonderful way in which Mir Bank head placed Underwood's name before the convention
 Various other complementary remarks have been heard with reference to MT Bankhead's speech, even from those who had felt that the young orator was not the man to assume so great a responsi- biity According to all who have com mented upon the subject, the speech was a clear exposition of the claims of Un- derwood for the presidency, without any exaggerating or fulsome tendencies to- wards eulogism or rhetorical effect.
