Petition for Pardon.

Honorable Earl Brewer, Governor,
jackson, Miss:
We, the undersigned petitioners. re-
specially petition you to release from
confinement in the penitentiary Willie
Fowler, convicted on a plea of guilty in
the August term of the Grenada county
circuit court, 1912, and sentenced to
serve a term of two years in the state
penitentiary. We state without hesi-
tation that we believe the young man,
scarcely twenty years of age, to be
wholly unconscious of the nature of the
crime, on account of his mental inca
pacity. Further: We deem that his
stay in confinement the length of time
already to be sufficient punishment for
the crime charged-larceny, under the
peculiar circumstances of the occasion
of the asportatioD.
Trusting that you will exercise your
executive clemency in his case and as
surfing you that such mercy will not
prove misplaced, we are,
Respectfully,
w. A. Oliver,
T. R. Gordon.

Some Panama Canal Figures.

nails and docks, the total for canal ex-
cavation proper by the 1912 estimate is

has been caused, mainly, by lessening
the slope of the sides of the canal to
guard against caving. This has in
creased the top canal width from $40 tc

SOME FIN4WCIERIVG

The Greenwood Enterprise of last week publishes an itemized
statement of the receipts and expenditures of Lehore county for the
year 1912, which shows that the board of supervisors of that county
issued warrants for last year amounting to sos ,26666, while the re-
ceipts from taxes were only s94,3oSco. The floating indebtedness
of the county is given at SI26ooOOO and the board of supervisors
of that county are now advertising for a loan of SIoo,ooooo.
The Enterprise observes that mo wonder county warrants are
on the bum and not good to pay ever your taxes except common
county, While the figures show that the supervisors of that county
have been doing some hnanciering," yet what they have done is
being repeated on a smaller scale in almost every county in the
state, and the thoughtful. calculating man can but say, "What will be
the end" The people of Lehore county have seemed to pride
themselves on being plungers, but there must be a reckoning day for
everything, for we reap what we SOW" in business IS well as in NOR
ais and religion.

The deposing and the killing of President Madero of Mexico
shows a horrible state of affairs in that country. He was deposed
and arrested by a traitor who succeeded to the presidency. That re-
public is in a bad way, no matter which element is in authority.
President Taft has acted wisely in keeping hands off. 1t is not the
business of this government to shoot twentieth century civilization
and christianity into the people of other countries. We have already
overdone that sort of a job in the acquisition and the retention of
the PHILIPPINES.

President Taft has not shown any of the 'sore toe" spirit since
his defeat, and will retire from office with the genuine respect and
love of his countrymen, His failures as President may very prop
erly be attributed to the goodness of his nature and to his inability
to see into the schemes which those who have been pillaging the
government put over" him.

annually about what the county is now spending and with that
amount of money road building could be made permanent.

in refusing new trial.
Judge Loofbourow had just begun
the formality Of sentencing Hill when
Attorney Schuldcr interposed q motion
for arrest of judgment pending nm ap-

called for arguments on the motion, and
Attorney Schuldcr proceeded to remark
that Judge Lootbourow, in private con

given him to understand that he dld not
think conviction could be obtained,
and had let ii be known that there was
grave doubt as to whether the case
should be allowed to go to the jury at

marks along the same line, but was
promptly halted by the court, who
warned him that he was bordering dan.
