UNIQUE PARDON
Continued From Page One,

Both factions have employed able
attorneys, and a bitter fight will be
made, relatives of the dead man being
determined to prevent pardons if pos.
sible
One unique phase of the case is
that Nathan White, who fred the fatal
shot, received a sentance of only ten
year, while the other brother, viii
White, who, according to the theory
of the defense, had his life in danger
at the moment his brother fred, was
sent up for life. A third participant
In the tragedy, Henry Danny, was tried
In the circuit court of Lafayette coun.
ty on change of venue and ecquitted.
Another odd phase of the case is
that the pardon petition is signed by
Judge J. p. Boothe, of Lexington, for
mer circuit Judge in the district, who
asserts that he presided at the trial
when the two brothers were convicted,
yet the Supreme Court appeal record
shows that Judge Roane was the pre-
siding Judge.

JACKSON CITIZENS
WONT PAY FOR
PROGRESS
20. BOX RENTERS REFUSE TO
COME ACROSS WITH RAISE
IN RENTALS.

Jackson. July 11-Uncle Sam has
repudiated a solemn contract in rails
ing the box rental at the jackson post
office twenty-per cent. At least, this
is the way patrons of the Office view
It, and they are showing the resent
ment by cancelling box rentals and in
structing that hereafter their mail be
delivered by carrier.
During the first week of the current
month the postmaster collected box
rents for the ensuing quarter, it being
the invicIate requirement that such
rentals be paid in advance. On yes
terday box holders were given sum.
mary notice that they must fork over
more cash, amounting to from rs to 50
cents each.
In explanation of this advance it is
set forth that Jacksons postal receipts
per annum have passed the 100000
mark, and the postoffice schedule
makes an advance in box rentals nee
e5sary.
This, OF course, is in accordance with
the postal regulations, but patrons
are unable t see why the advance
should apply to the current quarter,
after they have already settled in adj
vance with Uncle Sam, the fiscal year
showing Jackson's postal receipts end
ed on June Both, and one the same date
the new quarter for box rentals COM
'menced, but It seems manifestly I'M
fair to tax patrons for something that
the postoffice officials might have an
ticipated, or ought to have known, be-
fore the new rental notices we're is
sued
Owing to the numerous cancellations
by indignant partons, it is doubtful
whether box rentals for the ensuing
quarter will equal those of former
quarter. despite the advance of twenty
1--we per cent.
