EIGHT YEARS OF PARDoNINc.
A Comparison of Records Worthy
of Comparison.

| Editor Sea Coast Echo -
About two thousand two hundred
/ convicts were pardoned during the
| four years just before the estab-
! lishment of the Mississippi Pardonlng
Board, while only about eight hun
dred have been pardoned with the
Pardon Board, which makes a diff
ference of about fourteen hundred.
During the four years just before
| the Pardon Board was established one
| thousand and fifty convicts, about SIX
hundred being life time murderers
and rapists, were pardoned out OF the
State Penitentiary and with the Par
doning Board only three hundred and
eighteen have been turned out OF the
penitentiary, which makes differ
ence of about seven hundred. These
seven hundred were either turned out
because a proper hearing and lnvestl-
cation could not be made by the Gov
ernor, being busy with other affairs
of the State, or they were granted
as result of political pressure and
obligations.
The Pardon Board cost only twelve
hundred and fifty dollars year and
the services of two men kept IN the
Penitentiary are worth at least this
much to the State; in other words,
by the misuse Of the Pardoning
Board the State lost upon its farms,
during the four years just before the
Pardon Board was established, the
services Of nearly seven hundred con-
victs which, in dollars and cents,
would amount to about fifty thousand
dollars per year. Therefore, from
financial standpoint the Pardon Board
! has saved the State at least two hun
dred thousand dollars, while it cost
only twelve hundred and fifty dollars
g year.
The greatest saving to the State,
however, is stopping the abuse of the
pardoning power and thereby causing
the people to have a.more wholesome
respect for the majesty, dignity and
enforcement of their laws, the gener-
al elevation of society and the guar
antee OF law and order among the
people of Mississippi.
Another great Advantage of the
Pardon Board is that it saves
at least half of the Governors time
which can be devoted to the greater
problems of peace, progress and de-
velopment of the State with all its
interest. Any Governor who wants
the pardoning power and knows any
thing about it must be either fool
or crook.
The objection that the Pardon Board
can only recommend is not well
founded for the reason that all Par
don Boards in nearly all the States of
vestiga6e and recommend. This is
as it tsshoilld be. The power should re-
main in the hands of the Chief Exc
the union have only the power to in
cutive of the State.
This record should convince every
sensible man IN the State of the
great worth and success of this Board
The above and foregoing facts about
the use and abuse of the pardoning
power for the last eight years are
taken from the records in the govern
or's office and can be verified by any
one who questions these statements.
SHALL THE PARDON BOARD
BE ABOLISHED? THE ABOVE
FACTS WILL CAUSE EVERY
GOOD CITIZENS TO SAY 'NO."
Very truly yours,
THEODORE G. BILBO.

COUNTY OF LEE NJ. RUSSELL.

Ala called meeting of the Board of Supervisors
Of LAFAYETTE County, Mississippi, mass meeting or
citizens and taxpayers from part of the county,
was held, which taxed the capacity OF the large
Court House in Oxford, Mississippi addresses were
made to the public meeting In regard 10
the work of the State Tax Equalization Board and the
stand taken by Lieutenant Governor Lee M Russell
regarding the retention of said Board and mention
x. made the fact that on the first Monday of the
present month an alleged meeting was held IN
the civ composed of total of sixteen persons and
that certain newspaper reports OF said alleged mass
meeting has been published in various parts OF the
State purportng convey the idea that the people

qualified to fill the office to which he aspres. We ex-
pect to give him support and feel confident that
he will receive the large majority that has always
been given him in this his home County, over all op-
ponents.
Before adjournment ut found that some
eight or nine hundred names of the voters of Lafay
ette County had been signed to this recommendation.

CRACKER JACK Is
ON FLORENCE Vein

The raise being driven by the
Cracker Jack company in territory
leased from the Florence, at a height
of IS feet is showing ore assaylng
from s26 to s31 per ton; and after
the raise has been driven twenty feet
farther drifting will be started on the
vein. The entire back of the raise
is reported to be in ore, and IL. IT,
Mcmahon, secretary and manager OF
the Cracker Jack, is well satisfied
with the result of work in the leased
block.
The raise has been extended in the
continuation OF the Rogers vein, to-
ward the surface of the stope, where
rich ore was mined during the life OF
the Rogers lease. AS the territory
above these slopes has never been
explored h~eretofor,, ne work now
being done by Manager Mcmahon is
being watched with { crest here, as
many are confident that exploration
of the vein at this point will lead to
the opening of important ore bodies.
The famous slopes of early-day
leases in Florence ground were be-
tween the 400 and 550-foot levels, and
when they expired good ore remained
above and below the workings. This
vein has been productive north OF
where the Cracker Jack company is
working, but owing to mine condi-
tons and lack of sufficient equip
ment no work was ever done at this
particular point until recently.
Operations have also been resumed
at the main Cracker Jack property,
in the northern part of the district,
where the most important work con-
sists of the sinking of a winze from
the 329-foot level.

The closing of the smelling plant at McGiI, Nevada. where the Nevada
Consolidated Mines Company, n of the Guegenheim-owned properties, is
maintained, is but the first step in the readjustment of affairs in a mining
way in Nevada, remarks the Carson City News. During wa days, when
the government guaranteed operators twenty-seven cents a pound flor
copper, the men insisted O a raise Of wages in line with the price OF the
metal, and this wa but just all around. Both the operating company and
the wage earners have profted by wa conditions. Undoubtedly the move
on the part of the company to discharge and hire men irrespective of
seniority rules ad rights is but the first excuse to make trouble in order
that the entire plant may be closed pending adjustment of copper prices
this concern made al open statement to its workmen and the world
in general, a better feeling would be found in labor circles.
