One day there came into the big
reception room a woman. | shall
never forget her sweet, sad face Her
husband had murdered a helpless
girl with whom he had become in
fatuated. Five bullets had been
fired into her body. He was wild
fellow, and a man who knew him
well had said to me ii he were put
into the penitentiary he would
brain a guard and make his escape.
He was to be hanged the next Fri
day and this wife, whom he had dis
honored, had come to plead for his
life.
There was absolutely no ground
for clemency-no more than there
would be in the case of the murderer
of Mary Phagan.
And yet there stood the gentle
creature whose pure, sweet heart
was bleeding, and there the Governor
who must crush her last, faint hopes
of saving the man with whom she
had stood at the altar. Do you
think, my friend, that you would
like to stand between a wife's pray
ers and the gallows? | saw the
strong face of the Governor and it's
agony. l saw the woman wipe
away her tears.
God pity us all, even Governors,
for they too must pass through the
fiery furnace of duty and will as
long as the fierce tumult of passion
RACES in human breasts and the
stern law demands its penalty.
Speaking about pardons l don't
mind if tell about Governor Smiths
last night in office after his defeat
in 1908.
AS is well known, he is an indie
fatigable worker. His last full day,
which | believe was a Friday, found
the floor of his private office abso-
lutely covered with pardon papers
not simply the applications, but the
evidence, the court records in the
cases.
1t was task for Hercules. Supper
time came. He never stopped. Ten
o'clock, and he was still working
Eleven and he was still porting over
records.
Midnight came and Atlanta for the
most part was in slumber. The con-
victs had been asleep for hours, the
unknown, the friendless, the misera-
BILE fellows chained to the walls were
in their hunks while the Governor
of the State was rushing through
their appeals, lest the noon of the
next day should find him powerless
to do them justice tempered with
mercy.
A while after midnight tired and
sleepy | left the capitol and as I
walked down Hunter street | looked
toward the room where the light was
! still burning and saw the figure of
the Governor at his desk and the
next day another secretary told me
he was there until two in the morn

victs who could mean no more to

II is supposed he will fill the engage
ment, although he failed to fill an
engagement in Albany Monday. Mr..
Dorsey went to the South Georgia
Metropolis to deliver an address but
there was no crowd to hear him and
the speech was called off Promi-
nont citizens of Albany took him
automobile riding until the time for

Mr.. Dorsey's speeches have not
created the interest that was expect
Cd. He had quite a large crowd at
Gainesville where his first speech
W as made but the attendance has de-
creased with each succeeding ora
non. 1t takes him two hours and
Icrty minutes to say what he has to
say and as his voice is not strong
not many can hear him. The speech
deals almost entirely with the guber-
1atorial campaigns of Senator Smith
and issues that have long been dis
posed of. He says President Wilson
ought to throw Senator Smith over
beard but on that point the Solicitor
General and the President had not
agreed up to the hour of going to
press.

Col. Chas H Griffin has with
drawn from the race. At first it
looked like a contest between Mr..
Dabbs and Col Griffin, but when
Mr.. Perkerson announced the situa-
ton became such that several well
Known citizens held a conference to
consider what should be done. The
result was the withdrawal of Col.
Griffin, whose card appears in this
