FILE APPEAL IN MuNsoN CASE.

Effort Being Made to Save Neck OF
Murderer of Clarence Weeks.
Jackson.-A case of unusual impor-
lance argued before the state supreme
court was the appeal of attorneys for
Joe Munson, the burly negro who muir
dered Clarence @. Weeks, prominent
citizen of Sunflower county, last June.
General Ethridge filed his brief for
the state and explained the circum-
stances of the case to the judges,
which showed that the young man was
atrociously murdered by the negro
without warning. Mr.. Weeks had only
had the negro, Joe Munson, in his en-
ploy a short time. He demonstrated
with him over some misdemeanor, and
was slain.
Judge Monroe McClurg, who tried
the case, stated at the time that he
believed it was an atrocious murder,
and the jury was out only three min
utes before returning a verdict OF
guilty as charged. The negro was sen
fenced to be hanged in August.

! a federal prison for the offense for
which he was held in South Carolina.
In committing to life Imprisonment
the sentence of electrocution passed on
Stake Morris, a negro, of Greenville
county, the governor said:
"Ths defendant was convicted of
killing another negro. / am naturally
against electrocuting or hanging one
negro for killing another, because, if a
man had two fine mules running loose
in a lot and one went mad and kicked
and killed the other he certainly would
not take his gun and shoot the other
mule. He would work it, and try to
get another in place of the one killed
Therefore l believe when one negro
kills another he should be put in the
penitentiary and made to work for the
state"
In keeping with his avowed deter
mination to "clean out" the state peni-
Tertiary by Aug. l, Governor Blease has
cut the number of convicts in the state
prison from 500 to about 60. Some
have been put to work on the state
roads, many have been freed outright.
Discussing his future policy in con-
nection with the criticism of his enc
mics, the governor gives expression to
these words of defiance:
Il am still doing business in room

and though it hurts some folks mighty
bad, they can't help it. and you may
rest assured that the system l have
established in South Carolina will be
followed by other governors
Governor Blease is probably the
most talked-of executive in the United
States. He has taken a stand on a
number of questions in conflict with
generally accepted theories. He has,
among other things, announced public
ly that he will not call out the military
to prevent the lynching of men guilty
of certain crimes, holding that to do so
would be to insult the womanhood of
South Carolina. The governor init
mates that he would not mind taking
a hand in a lynching bee himself In

points as proof that no consideration
except mercy moves him in behalf OF

Governor Blease's 1eniency has made
him a target for criticism in all sec
lions of the United States. In reply
to this he says:
''If my friends are pleased. am
overjoyed. If my enemies are not

Governor Blease has written his rea-
son for pardoning each man. These
show some rather unusual conclusions
He pardoned Samuel. Way, a white

Another man was pardoned because
he had been convicted on the testi-
mony of two negroes.
Another, A L. Pitman, white, of
Greenviue county, was freed when the
governor found that he had been i'm
prisoned for assault and battery on a
man who had insulted his wife. The
prosecutor ought to have been pleased
that he was not killed outright" said
the governor in this case.

him. He was freed by the governor,

NICOTINE SPRAY
FOR ROSE APHIS
Department of Agriculture Tells
How to Get Rid of These
Pests.

Rose lovers whose flowers are
blighted by the ravages OF the rose
aphis. have only themselves to blame
according to the valuable little bulle
tin Just issued by the United States de
partment of agriculture.
Careful spraying of the plants with
solutions of nicotine will remove all
danger and neither the expense nor the
trouble involved is sufficiently great to
be a real obstacle.
The rose aphis is a small insect
with a body about one-twelfth of an
inch long. The young and some adult
forms are wingless, but certain adults
develop wings from time to time. The
color varies from green to pink. By
means of its slender beak the aphis
sucks out the juices of the plant on
whose buds and unfolding leaves it
feeds. These, prevented from attain
ing their perfect form, become curled
and distorted and the beauty of the
flowers is in large measure ruined.
Moreover, the aphis secretes sweet
sticky liquid called honeydew, which
spoils the appearance of the foliage
on which it is deposited.
Application of insectides should be
made on the first appearance OF the
pest, which varies from the time that
the leaves are put forth until the buds
begin to form. Application should be
repeated as found necessary.
The best fnsecticide is 40 per cent
solution of nicotine. A convenient
recipe when there are only few
bushes to be treated calls for
teaspoonful of the nicotine solution to
two gallons of water and one-half
ounce of whale oil soap. shaved fine
and dissolved in hot water. This can
be applied when a large number of
bushes are to be treated by means OF
a compressed air sprayer or bucket
pump. When only a small number
of bushes need treating, the infested
twigs can be dipped in a pail of the
solution. The larger recipe recon-
mended by the bulletin 80 calls for one
part of 40 per cent solution to from one
thousand to two thousand parts of
water, with the addition of one pound
of whale oil soap to every so gallons
of the mixture.
