is that of Lum Greer, an aged negro
of Butts county, who is under =
twelve months sentence for sell
liquor, and who is asking for a fine
instead. This old negro's petition
was drawn up for him by j. Threat
Moore, a well known lawyer of Jack
sen, and ex-member of the general
assembly. Mr. Moore sets out that
Lum is IA years old; that he served
three years in the Confederate army;
that he has always voted the Demo-
cratic ticket; that Notwithstanding
anamendment has been adopted to
the federal constitution sbolishin :
slavery, old Lum continues to serve
his white master, and finally that
Lum is afflicted with tuberculosis
Rrights' disease, stomach trouble and
few other ailments which would
result in his death if he were sent
t. the changing or the state farm.
The prison commission felt COM
passion for old Lum and recon-
mended that his sentence be commut-
