THIRD REPRIEVE
ENDS SEPTEMBER 1

Attorney-General Daugherty trans.
mitted to President Harding yester-
day the entire record in the case OF
Henry A. Brown. convicted and SEN
fenced TO be hanged for the murder
of Harriet Kavanaugh. together with
the recommendations OF the Depart
ment of Justice.
Although no official announcement
was made at the department regard
ing the conclusions Of the Attorney
General in this case. there is reason
for believing that Mr. Daugherty has
found no ground for the Communication
of Browns sentence to life imprison-
ment.
On the contrary. it is believed by
those who have discussed the matter
with Mr. Daugherty that he has be-
come convinced OF the negro's guilt
and that he sent the papers to the
President earlier than otherwise, in
order that Mr.. Harding. might have
full opportunity to study the case for
himself before the last reprieve ex-
pires and to decide whether Brown
should or should not be hanged
1t is well understood that officials
subordinate to the Acknowledgement
entertained serious doubt as TO
Browns absolute guilt and that they
were inclined ITO the view that the
President might properly commute
the sentence TO life Imprisonment.
This was two or three weeks ago.

charity. The first impulse that al
ways comes to the heart is that of
satisfying all desires without ques-
tioning their propriety. The second
impulse, and it follows the first very
naturally, is to reject such first i'm
pulse as will jeopardize ones stand
ing in society and incur the worlds
disfavor. It b m S necessary
therefore for society to keep it's &C:
cepted standards of morality and
propriety aloft. Society must teach
it's young in no uncertain terms that
the world looks with great disfavor
upon the transgressor.
''This is all very WE'LL" say the
skeptics. "Let us preach high mo-
rality to the young and old alike, but
why this ado about faith and wor-
ship? We do not believe in the will
full God of your multitudinous sects.
We scout your claims to a life mere
after. We eschew the path of evil as
high mindedly as your most plous
and it is not from the fear OF losing
this sacred birthright. Have you an
answer to that?"
Let us pardon the skeptics their
doubts. But what Of the next mo-
ment when they doubt their own
doubts? They must not presume as
too many are wont to do that upon
human nature in general and their
own in particular, only the generous
and noble impulses are registered,
and that human goodness is innate.
Let them not forget that by their
own nature, fact which admits OF
no argument, they covet high name
for excellence in honor and goodness.
Thus, it is their care, not to jeopar-
die their good name, that causes
them unconsciously to demean
themselves with credit. Ones facul-
ties submit so mechanically to this
psychic operation that it makes gen.
crosby seem part of ones truest
and most original nature.
It is only while society's moral
and ethical standards are kept aloft
that the individual will strive, in
his effort to warrant the worlds
favor for virtuOus excellence, to
measure up to them.
Too often reason deserts the in
dividual. His will becomes an easy
prey to his passions. His baser i'm
pulses rise and threaten to break
past the levees of the civil codes. He
would carry out his resolutions OF
violence or sin but at this point his
moral and religious training send
into his bosom such fears as success
fully check his passions.
1t is not wise to destroy Mems
Faith.

ing life. What of the spirit? Width
er has it flown? There is but one
answer. 1t has been recalled to it's
Maker.
Upon this point the sage was great
ly puzzled. Here was community
of several happy souls. In their
midst were at least two evil doors
whom the loyal band had not yet
unprecedented. Would a just God
grant them equal redemption with
the virtuous? 1t did not appear
likely. 1t was then plain to him,
while escape from detection was pos
sible. that the fear of losing the
public's good will was by itself insult
ficient, not only to return his fellow
sinner to the path of Righteousness
but insufficient also to keep the rest
from straying into the paths OF
iniquity.
Now it came to pass that ere this
time conquering host had swept
down upon the people of this land
and had reduced the whole nation 10
slavery 1t was through the genius
of their present leader that the ma
ton had been delivered from this
terrible bondage. Because OF his re.
markable omplishments, many OF
which were without their range OF
understanding, his beholden follow
ers believed him to be inspired. He
caused his people to gather before
him and revealed to them the mat
ter of his late meditations. They
were inspired with hope of an after
life as result of his disclosures and
the ethical and moral laws OF the
nation took new lease on their al
fectiOns The sage, however, was
mindful of his mortality. Some sue
cessor might NEEDLE with the law.
There was only one way to forestall
this. The law which he had re-
claimed must be given to his people
as having come not from the arduous
processes of his thinking, but di-
rectly from the lips of God. Since
they believed him inspired he had
little difficulty to convince them OF
this.
No man has ever dared to pro-
claim his superiority to God and
since that day the law has stood prac-
tically unchanged.
When the infant first comes into
the world today, from all outward
manifestations it is still the same
animal that the infant was which was
born to the first human mother.
Until the child is able to receive
impressions intelligently, it develops
in the same world with the foal in
the pastures 1t is the incarnation
of pure self impulse, with no con-
seriousness that others about it have
desires which should receive its con-
sideration. In the earliest days of
our forefathers this child would
grow to maturity and old age with
little change in it's nature.
In our present civilization, the pa
rents whose natures have been cast
in the mould of modern standards,
take time by the forelock in the
training of the child. Long before
it could learn from experience the
value of the laws of mutual conces-
sion it is taught the principles OF
honor and goodness. 1t is in the
age of childhood that stolen fruits
are sweetest because it is then that
the impulses to satisfy all per-
sonal desires are first repressed.
The child, however, through fear OF
parental punishment and discipline
daily represses these impulses.

IRISH POTATOES
PAY IN TERRELL
20-Acre Field Yields
$135 Per Acre.
Cars Shipped

DAWSON, June 8.-That Irish po-
tatoes can be grown successfully Tor
market IN u errell county has been
proven on the farm OF Claud A
hatcher, about seven miles northwest
Of Dawson. From a second big crop
this season has been gathered and
shipped two cars OF the 'spuds, each
car averaging about 900 bushels, or
2UO 3-busfIels bags. MIR. S. ID. Hatch
er, VINO has charge of the farm, states
that about $50 bushels, or One-fOurth
OF car, is yet to be shipped, which
will be the last for this season. The
Hatcher farm has about twenty acres
in 'spuds" this year, which wnl yield
about /, 400 bushels, an average Of
70 bushels per acre. These potatoes
sell for about So per bushel, and at
the above figures the crop this sea-
son will yield approximately $1,000
an average of $135 per acre.
Not only has growing of potatoes
proven profitable to Mr. Hatcher,
but alfalfa also has been successful
ly grown for market on the same
farm, forty acres being given over to
this weed. The second crop has been
cut this season, and the average
yield has been about 1900 pounds
to the acre. This, too, is bringing
a good price, two cars already hav-
ing been shipped, and large amount
about ready for harvesting.

Some Interesting
Things You 'llFind
atCarnegieLibrary


Have you read "Main Street." by
Sinclair Lewis? If not, you have
missed the most talked-about, writ
ten-about book of the year. Arthur
Maurice, in an article entitled ::Au-
thors and Best Sells" which appears
in the June number of the Worlds
Work, tell US that everything has
been said about main Street" ex-
cept no one has suggested that it
has not been adequately advertised.
Much of this advertising is indiscreet.
A diplomat is quoted as saying that
the trouble in Europe is that "Eu-
rope thinks OF the United States in
terms of Wall Street and not in terms
OF Main Street"
1t is a wonderfully interesting ar
ticle that Mr.. Maurice has written
and it tells some very remarkable
things about the best sellers. he be-
gins by saying that one hundred
years ago the best selling novelist
in England was Sir Walter Scott,
and in America, he adds, that Wash
ington Irving and James Fenlmore
Cooper bore the same stigma a cen
tury ago. j.:
All the best sellers of any literary
repute are listed by Mr.. Maurice and
it is significant that the names of
Zane Grey and Ethel Dell are con-
spicu0usly absent.
Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of
Paradise" and Floyd Dell's Moon
Calg," are classed with main Street.
But you must read this article for
yourself. 1t is illustrated and the
fortunes that the authors amassed
overnight are fabulous. One en-
enlargement to the apostle of good
literature lies in the preference for
history and biography as shown by
popular vote of the Christmas book
buyers. Fiction, strange to say,
ranked fifth instead of first.
Other articles in this number OF
the Worlds Work are can Interview
With Charles E. Hughes" The Chau
tauquas, An American Achievement,
The Men Who Standardized Automo-
bile Parts, which is romance of
automobile manufacturers.
But to go back to the best sellers
it is a real joy to renew acqualnt-
ance wit hour old favorites, many of
them new favorites as well and still
selling merrily on.
The Century Magazine has a new
dress which is a splendid imitation OF
leather, and the first story in the
current number is by Sinclair Lewis,
ga Post Mortem Murder"

for very late paintings, cuttings from
vines will give a few more potatoes
than will draws or slips. This may
be explained by the fact that vine
cuttings produce cluster of pota-
toes from two or more nodes of the
part set while the plant forms only
one cluster, and neither has time to
become crowded or reach full de-
velopment. Another advantage de-
rived from the use of vine cuttings is
the production of potatoes nearly
free from disease. The much dread
ed "black rot" of sweet potatoes lives
largely on the roots of the plants.
Thus when vine cuttings are used,
and planted on noninfected soil, that
is soil which has not grown sweet
potatoes for several years, the dis
ease is largely eliminated"

Time To Set Sweet
Potatoes For Best Yield

The Georgia Experiment Station,
H. P. Stanley, director, has issued
the following Bulletin;
Few of our field garden crops can
be planted over so long period with
such satisfactory results as the sweet
potato.
"A number of experiments have
been conducted at the Georgia EX-
pertinent Station to determine at just
what time of the year to set sweet
potato plants to produce the largest
Yields. Seasonal conditions varied
the yields from year to year. But
the paintings extending over a num-
Der of years showed that the best
Yields were made by plants set from
about the middle of May until the
18th of June. 1t was observed fur
Their. however, that profitable crops
could be made from plants set as
late as the 5th of July.
"Where a full crop of sweet po-
tatoes has not been planted the crop
NAV follow small grain, as oats,
wheat and rye, with very satisfactory
results. Usually about this time OF
the year there is an accumulation
of some stable manure on most farms.
This may be applied in the drill at
the rate of about ten two-horse wag-
on loads per acre and supplemented
with commercial fertilizers at the
rate of about 800 pounds per acre.
A fertilizer approXimatlng an go
will be good for this purpose, how
ever, almost any remnant OF a FER
tilizer mixture which may be on hand
will serve.

gia Experiment Station show that

REDUCING FLOW ID
 LOWER GAS BILLS

Because the new by-product gas IS lighter than the old gas and more ,an come in given space. the by-product gas has been found by many to increase their gas bill.
 \ A mechanical department official of she Birmingham Light and Power com pany says the company is giving com plaints about high pressure gas consid- eration as fast as possible, considering the large number of people using gas.
 The attention consists simply in the ad- justment of each particular stove to suit the case in hand. The adjustment is made by regulating a small valve that let's in the gas. This will be necessary in many cases, owing to the fact that the old pressure of about 9 pounds now raised to more than 1e0 pounds. and still coming through the same spaces. makes a waste. However, the officials say. :he complaints are very few and that most people seem to be pleased with the new gas and consider the change in the pres sure as one for the better.
