BOOST, SCOUTS! DON'T KNOCK

If you think your troop the best,
Tell 'em sol
If you'd have it lead the rest,
Help it grow!
When there's anything to do
Let the others count on you,
You'll feel bully when it's through,
Don't you know?
If you're used to giving knocks,
Change your style,
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For a while.
Let the other person roast,
Shun him as you would ghost,
Meet his hammer with boast
And a smile
A real live earnest scouts smile.

DORSEY TO be
ASKED TO FREE
LAST RAWLINS

ATLANTA, Nov. 29.-An appeal
for a pardon for Milton Rawlins, the
only one of the members of that fami-
" now in the state penitentiary as a
result of the murder of the Carter
children several years ago, is to be
made next week by Attorney John
R. Cooper, of Macon, who, has han
died the case from the beginning
Mr.. Cooper has written Governor
Dorsey asking to be heard and giving
his reasons why he thinks Rawlins
should be granted a pardon.
Among other things the attorney
saws Rawlins has been in the peniten-
tiary fourteen years and has made a
model prisoner; that his brothers
Jesse and Leonard Rawlins, were
pardoned several years ago and have
made excellent citizens; that he be-
lieves in the innocence of the Raw
Inns boys; that Judge Mitchell, who
tried the case, has asked that he be
pardoned and several petitions and
letters of recommendation have been
secured.
The history of the Rawlins case is
familiar to most Georgians. 1t has
been before the Supreme Court of
Georgia three times and before the
United States Supreme Court twice
]. G. Rawlins, the father Of the three
boys, paid the penalty for the crime
when he was hanged, his three sons
being sent to the penitentiary, the
death sentences which were, passed
on Milton and Jesse later being COM
muted to life Imprisonment. In No
vember, 1910, Hoke Smith, then gov
ernor of Georgia, pardoned the two
younger boys.
After the conviction of Rawlins
and his three sons and the case had
been carried to the highest court in
the land and affirmed, an extraordi-
nary motion for new trial was made
based on a confession of the father
of the boys that he had hired Alf
Moore, a negro, to kill old man Car
ter and that the boys had nothing to
do with the murder of the Carter
children. The motion came too late
to do any good in the courts of Geor-
gia. This confession will be used
in the argument before Governor
Dorsey as one of the grounds on
which the governor would be justified
in granting a pardon.
