CAROLINA POPLARS.
The interest in shade trees seems TO have
manifested itself in many people by the..
having the trees pruned. This is well,
but it would be a shame TO have good
trees pruned as some of them are being
pruned by incompetent people. and the au-
thorities should have their attention called
to this butchery were it not that many of
the trees being so handled are Carolina
poplars. and il it we repossible to kill
them by this method it would be well to
permit the good work. to proceed. Vets
get rid of them. They are not desirable.
Their roots go away out from the main
trunk, and close to the surface instead OF
down. The result is that the sidewalks
are many times ruined by being turned up
from the action of their roots Then.
worse than this is the falling of the leaves
at a time when their shade is most need
ed and they become as bare as they are
now and after the frosts have stripped
other trees of their foliage. Let's plant
other trees between them and next fall
cut out the poplars.

Montgomery, June 25.-(Special
IN view of the publication in an aft
ernoon paper a story to the effect
that the governor had thrown open
doors to convicts9 the chief exec
utive issued statement this afternoon
explaining his reason for paroling
Walter Lloyd of Lowndes county and
Alex Murphy OF Monroe county. about
whom the story was written, and
charged that paper with trying to mis-
represent the facts in the two cases.
the governor declared in his state
ment that he paroled Lloyd, a negro
sentenced TO serve 40 years in prison
for the murder of another negro, be-
cause clemency was recommended by
The trial Judge, the solicitor, the war
den at Sanford, at which the negro
was serving his sentence, and by the
entire board of pardons. He said the
negro had served ~ years of his SEN
tence: that his conduct had been ex-
emplary, and that the solicitor had ex-
pressed doubt of his guilt.
Parole was issued TO Murphy, ac-
cording to the governor because it
was recommended by IL of the Jurors
the trial judge, the solicitor. the ply
scian inspector of the convict board,
by the board of pardons and by leading
citizens of the county.

SERVICE TO PENSACOLA
Another Passenger Route Promised by
December Via Kimbrough

Through service between Birming-

lieyed that the pew line of the Gulf
Florida and Alabama will have its line
built by that date to kimbrough, a
junction on the Southern.
At that point the Southern railway
Will make connection. BY traffic ar
rangement 1t will be possible for
through service to be inaugurated from
this city to Pensacola, thereby giving
Birmingham two routes to that coast
city. The Louisville and Nashville is
the only way by which Birmingham
can now reach Pensacola.
The local officials of the Southern

of the new line to imbrough SO that
connection will be possible for the
local line. When that line Is placed in
operation it is believed that the com
petition thus afforded will be very ben

remember with what resistance, what
criticism, with what systematic holding
back large body of bankers in this
country met the proposals of that reform,

passage, they recognized It's benefit and
its benefcence, and how ever since the

to carry this great reform on sensible and
