THAT PINCH SNOW

It VS. Is Years Ago Instead of 10
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
The citizen who says "the 12-inch
snow was 10 years ago., is in error.
It was 10 years ago. 1t began fall
ing on Saturday morning, Feb. 18th,
1899, and continued till Tuesday p.
m, with strong gale from the
northwest, the thermometer falling
when it reached near zero. The snow
was fine and coarse and drifted two
or three feet deep in places. The old
folks said it was the coolest wealth
er seen since 1857, when there was
another big snow similar to this.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices aext fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, 80 high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

WILL SEE HIS KIND
AFTER MANY TEARS
Jesse Pomeroy, Long Solitary Prison
er, in Massachusetts, Gets Re-
lief in Company.

Boston, Jan. 25-Jesse Pomero!
who mas been for Al years in solitary
confinement in the State prison at
Charlestown, was granted equal priv
ileges with other prisoners by the
State executive council today. Con-
victed of murder at Is years Old, Pom
eroy two years later was locked up
in a cell lighted from a window III
the ceiling so that he might not gaze
On his fellow men. He was exercised
apart from other prisoners anI
barred as far as possible from hu-
man companionship. Two years ago
the sentence was enforced less vigo1-
ously to accord with modern ideas OF
prison reform.
Now, at the age Of 81 years. Pome-
roy will move into a cell where ne
can see passersby, will be allowed to
exercise with other prisoners, sit with
them at the church services and al
the prison entertainments and will
be given such light work in the pris-
on shops as his somewhat enfeebled
health will permit.
Pomsroy was convicted of the bru-
tai murder of two children, after a
series of degenerate acts which had
terrorized the South Boston and Dor
chester districts OF this city. He was
sentenced to be hanged, but because
of his youth the sentence was com,
muted to solitary Imprisonment fol
life On September Z, 1876, he was
placed in his solitary cell at the
Charles street Jail.
But he did not drop out of the
public eye. Reports of sensational
attempts to escape, carried through
with patient ingenuity rarely found
outside of fiction, became public a,
frequent intervals His mother, unit
her death, two years ago, never re,
laXed her efforts 10 secure his pardon
and was allowed to visit her son reg.
ularly.
When Pomeroy began his sentence
he was poorly educated. Now he CAL
read in seven languages and at tbs
age of 81 is studying Arabic. His las
known attempt to escape was foul
years ago. Since then he has beer
diligently studying law as it bears
on his case. Beyond his attempts t
break through steel and brick to free
dom, he has been on the whole, his
keepers say, quiet and model pris
oner.
