corn to the acre because that is the
United States record for the past ten
years. Don't stop at % bushels, the
average farm value of which for the

ASKED FOR
ERSTWHILE ROMEO
Friends Of Clarence Lee, Sent Up From
Rankin county, Seek His
p Freedom.

jackson, July ga petition bearing
the signatures Of 600 of the leading
citizens of Rankin county has been
presented to Governor Brewer asking
that a pardon be granted to Clarence
Lee, son of prominent family in that
county, who is serving a five year SEN
tence in the penitentiary for shooting
with intent to kill.
The case is one of very unusual
character. Lee was violently in love
with young school teacher in Frank
lin county, who rejected his suit, de-
spite the fact that he wooed with a
Romeo-like ardor. One afternoon,
while going home from school in com.
pany with two small boys, she was
fired upon from ambush. The bullets
went wide of their mark, but the lady
declared that she saw Lee in the
bushes while the leaden pellets were
whistling about her, and on this testi
mony the young man was convicted
in spite of his vehement protestationi
of innocence.
The evidence was conflicting at th'
lower court trial as to whether Le'
had quit the school teacher, or sh'
had quit him. At any rate, the erst

CALIFORNIA TO INVADE EAST.

San Francisco, July 25.-California
has planned a great invasion of East
ern tennis courts this season. Nc
Loughlin has already left for the East
and following him will be Thomas G.
Bundy and several western stars who
have never twinkled on eastern tennis
courts, but who, it is predicted, will
dazzle beholders. Foremost among
the Californians who are to furnish
surprises are Harold H. Braly, Charles
B. Hooper and Ward Dawson. The
latter is the junior champion of Cali
fornia, and bearing in mind the fact
that Williams, the eastern champion
is only twenty, it will be interesting to
see whether the east or west leads In
young blood. The drawing card fol
the eastern events is the expected ar
rival of Andre H. Colbert, the French
champion, to enter the championship
at Newport next month. The Unitet
States will want as many defender
as possible to keep the national it'll
at home, and the west predicts tina
any of the men that it is sending cas-
will keep Gobert's hands full.

NJ Williams, who persuaded them to
first phone the girls mother and ac-
quaint her with their Intention.
The consent coming as it did at the
last moment marely prevented the
wedding from being a gretna green af
fair. The young couple had conLem-
plated matrimony for a year or more
bur as the bride was still in school and
quite young the parents objected and
at one time forbade the young man
to continue his attentions. In the
meantime Mr.. Hinton moved to Ash
burn, and as absence makes the
heart grow fonder" the couple consid-
cred life uncomfortable while apart.
Immediately after the ceremony at
which the bride wore her school dress,
the two went to the Prince home for
her clothes and later left for their flu
ture home in Ashburn.
