~ JAMES B. NEVTN XVI

! If attorneys generally in Georgia
( fully understood that to make last
minute applications for respites and
clemency in capital cases, after DELHI
erately disregarGed opportunity 10 APP
pear before the Prison Commission
actually prejudiced their cases in the
executive eye and raised inevitably a
presumption Of questionable methods
in the executive mind, there doubt
less would be less OF that sort OF
thing in the State.
That Governor Slaton feels very
strongly and deeply the injustice TO
him frequently involved in these last
minute appeals, IS not doubted in the
least by those who talk with him up
on that subject from time to time.
Recently an attorney appeared be-
fore the Governor IN behalf of a
client condemned to death and asked
respite, Notwithstanding the fact
that the criminal concerned had been
under sentence OF death for two
months and his sentence affirmed. and
two meetings OF the Prison Board
had been lightly passed by without
any word as to clemency being ut
tered. And 1t is a matter Of record in
Georgia that one criminal was respit-
ed seven times by the questionable
process Of permitting Prison Board
meetings to pass and then appealing
to the Governor frantlcally at the last
minute!
When an attorney deliberately per-
~
Prison Board to pass without &C
ton. and then PUSHES to the Governor
within few days Of the proposed ex-
ecution with a petition for a respite,
the Governor not unnaturally thinks
he is being trfled with--or worse
There may be occasional extreme
cases in which these last minute APP
peals have merit, but as q rule the
Governor views them with suspicion
and merely as attempts to gain a
little further delay in execution.
Occasionally a lawyer informs the
Governor that he was "in ignorance Of
the rule" and what the Governor then
says to that lawyer never makes him
feel at all comfortable!
The Governor earnestly requests all
parties having clemency matters In
mind to obtain from the Prison Com
iHlSoion INC TuleS governing the uiS-
position of the same. He has stated
his very firm determination in the flu
ture to adhere strictly to those rules,
and not TO vary from them save in the
gravest emergencies.
The Nashville Herald Predicts that
Congressman Randall Walker will
be reelected to Congress without OPP
position" but that hardly seems pos
sible with Senator w. l.. Converse, of
Lowndes. actually in the race as an
avowed and open candidate, and with
Grover Edmondson, of Brooks, and
Judge Quincy, of Coffee. tentative

Miss Smith-now Mrs Hills the
courageous young woman who won
congratuations from all sides a little
more than a year ago when she
turned on a man who was following
her home one night and gave him in
succession a highly eloquent tongue

tirely by surprise. and a scare with
a businesslike 2-caliber revolver

simple ceremony that made them
husband and wife.
Just as though nothing out of the
ordinary had happened. Hill made a
business trip for the firm to McDon-

where she has had position as
switchboard operator for several

Hill, however could not keep the

short space of time 1t was a secret no

LOCAL WOMEN AGREE
 WITH STAGE BEAUTIES

Of all women in the world, prob ably those on the tage are most careful of the hair; and when such leading stage beauties as Ethel Barrymore, Elsie Ferguson, Nat aIie Alt, Louise Dresser, Rose Coghlan, Laurette Taylor and many others are so enthusiastic about Harmony Hair BeautifIer as to write in praise of it, that IS certainly evidence that it does just what they say it does-that is, beautifies the hair. There are many women right in this town, and men, too, who regard it as indispensable, because it makes the hair glossier and more silky, easier to dress and make stay in place. Sprinkle a lit tie on your hair each time before brushing 1t. Contains no oil; will not change color of hair, nor dark en gray hair.
 To keep hair and scalp dandruff- free and clean, use Harmony sham poo. This pure liquid shampoo gives an instantaneous rich father that immediately penetrates to every part of hair and scalp, insuring quick, thorough cleansing. Wash ed off just as quickly, the entire operation takes only a few moments. Contains nothing that can harm the hair; leaves no harshness or stick iness-
 Both preparations come in odd shaped, very oramental bottles, with sprinkler tops Harmony Hair Beauifie,r $1.OO. Harmony sham poo, soc.

TWAS THE WOMEN
GOD BLESS ENI

At the town election yesterday it was a clean sweep for the Non Partisan Union ticket and a glorious victory for the women voters of Skagway, to whom the honor of free ing the municipality from the stig- ma attached to a boss ridden and boss governed town, is entirely due,
 The affairs of the town had so long been under the domination of ]. NJ. Tanner, that it was looked upon as almost impossible to over come the subtle influence he wield- cd over what has heretofore been q majority of the voters of Skag- way, but at the polls yesterday, notwithstanding the very question able methods used by that gentle man to swell the number of votes cast in his own favor, at the ex- pense of the rest of the taxpayers ticket, his efforts were frustrated and he has been, we trust, relegat- ed for all time, so far as Skagway Is concerned, to the ranks of ordin- ary citizenship.
 The seven new members of the town council are all business men, honest, upright and fair minded, and We believe that under their supervision and management the ad- ministratiOu of the affairs of the town will be carried through in a manner satisfactory to the entire community and the best interests of all concerned.
 It is uuquestiOned that in view of the number of votes cast in his favor, that James Kennedy, man ager of the Skagway branch of the Will Clayson mercantile establish ment, will be the choice of the new council for Mayor Mr. Kennedy is a native born Alaskan, a shrewd business man, and a man against whom, neither in his public nor in his private life, can there be a single reflection cast.

WILL HAVE TO STUDY UP

Notwithstanding the fact that the eyes of practically the whole civilized world have been turned toward Alaska and the Yukon for the past sixteen or eighteen years and that the wholesale houses Of the Pacific Coast have been doing business with the merchants of the North for the same length of time, the crass ignorance oG this north ern region displayed by some or these outside shippers is almost unbelievable
 For instance, a few weeks ago We sent an order for printing ma Jerial to the American Type Found CTS Co. of Portland, Oregon, and the other day received the articles listed as Invoice of goods sold by the exporters pricr to their ship ment to Canada"
 That others in Alaska are hay ing the same experience as we had is proven by the following, taken from the KetchiEwn Miner of recent date:
 Another example of the ignOr- ance of matters Alaskan was shown in letter received by a local firm from Schwabachers in Seattle talk ing about American Alaska" as being treated one way and British Alaska some other way. One would think that a concern as close to Alaska as this one is would have better knowledge of our geo. graphy."

Purified Blood SOLVES Most of Sick ness PrObIoms

People who have been pouricing and anOinting for years and years marvel at the way Purola does the work.
 When you come to realize that the skin and flesh beneath are composed of a network of tiny blood vessels you solve the mystery.
 There are wonderful medicinal properties in Purola Syrup Sarsap- arilla compound that follow the course of the blood stream just as naturally as the most nourishing food elements.
 Thousands know it to be really remarkable remedy. It contains one ingredient, the active purpose of which is to stimulate the tissues to the healthy selection of it's own essential nutriment. And the med icinal elements of thig matchless blood purifier are just as essen tial to well-balanced health as the nutritious elements of the meats, grains, fats and sugars of our daily food" said well-known physician.
 Not only this, but if from the presence of some distributing poi son there is a local or general in- terference of nutrition to cause boils, carbuncles, abcesses and kin dred troubles, Purola Syrup Sarsap- ariIla compound, so direct the local cells that this poison Is re- jected and eliminated from their presence.
 Then, too, Purola Syrup Sarsap- uriIla compound, has such specific stimulation on these local cells as to preserve their mutual welfare and proper relative assistance to each other.
 Not one drop of minerals or drugs is used in it's preparation. Ask for Purola Syrup sarsaparilla compound, and just insist upon having it.-Keller Bros. Drug Go. Sole agents for "Purola" Remedies in Skagway.
