"PARDON FOR CAR"
Most Unusual Request Made Of Gov.
ernor Cooper.

For the first time, probably, in the
history of the state, in recent years, at
any rate, the governor has been asked
to issue pardon" for an insenSate
object.
Governor Coopcr's office is in re-
ceipt of petition for the revocation
of forfeiture of seven passenger
touring car, the joint property of the
Commercial Bank of Savannah, the
Savannah Mormon agency, an auto
mobile concern, and Jim Miltiadcs, a
citizen of Savannah. The matter prob
ably will be referred to the state board
of pardons for investigation.
II appears that Mltiades bought the
car from the Savannah Mormon
agency, making substantial paymCnt
In cash and giving paper for the bal
ance. The Commercial bank discount
cd the paper. Later Miltiadcs could
not keep up his payments, said the pc
tition, and he turned the car back to
the automobile agency for liquidation.
On June s, of this year, Henry Nc
Innin, said the petition, approached
the agency and said he could sell the
car to man at Augusta, Ga, and II
was turned over to him for this pur-
pose, averred the petition. He i'm
mcdiatcly, continued the petition,
without the knowledge or consent OF
the owners. proceeded to fit up the
car with secret compartments and
receptaclcs or whisky" and loaded
it with whisky, and, by circuitous
route, went to Georgetown, this state,
where he was arrested for transport

to plant n palm tree in New England
and expect them to thrive or even to
live. but there are distinctions much
finer than these. The live oak grows
best in the south, for instance, while
the sugar maple thrives best in the
more rigorous New England ana
Northwestern climates.
The American Forestry association
has worked out answers to every ques-
ton that can be asked about the
proper trees to plant in any section or
community, and this information Is
at the disposal of individuals or Or
ganizations undertaking a tree-plant-
ing programme. But officials OF the
forestry organization say that IL is
safe to follow the course of planting
trees which already are thriving in
the neighborhood in which the trees
are to be planted.

OLD CRIME RECALLED
Mysterious Murder in Fort Mill Dur
ina Civil War.

IL was just wondering" said day
or two ago one of the older citizens OF
Fort Mill, "how many people now liv-
ing in this community know that a
murder about which there seemed to
be a mystery that has never been
cleared up and perhaps never will be,
was committed during the Civil War
close to the spot on which the Catawba
indian monument stands in Confed-
crate park. Not many, perhaps, but it
is a fact nevertheless, says the Fort
Mill Times. Two men, one Of whom
bore the name Brezeale, the other
Baugh, drifted into the community
some time after the war started. | do
not recall how it happened that they
were not in the Confederate army.
Neither had any relatives here, so far
as was known and neither apparently
had very much business in the COM
munity. 1t was stated at the time that
both were reluctant to talk of their
past life and no one here knew whence
they came. If they had known each
other before they, began to live here,
that too was a matter which neither
discussed, but the end of their rela-
tionship led up to the belief that at
some time in life they had crossed
each others path.
"One Saturday afternoon the two
men met in the public -hitching lot,
now the site of Confederate park.
Angry words were heard to pass be-
tween them by bystanders and with"
out any threatening demonstration be-
ing made against him, BrcZeale, who
was the older man of the two, whipped
a pistol from his pocket and shot
Baugh through the heart killing him
instantly. Brezeale Immediately ran
away and that was the last ever heard
of him in Fort Mill. In those days II
was much easier to commit a crime
and escape arrest than it is now. The
body of Baugh was buried beside the
railroad track near where he was
killed"

Washington, D. c., August I'm
stead of covering the country with
the old-tashioned idea of monuments
to the heroic American dead of the
World war, strong movement Is
afoot and gaining strength for plant
ing memorial trees to honor the MEM
ory of the slain. The suggestion is
linked up with the good roads cam
paign in way, trees being planted
in hundreds 'of places along the finest
highways of the nation to make them
constant reminders of the sacrifices
made.
The American Legion is taking
leading part in cooperating with
the American Forestry association in
this work. Coupled with the beauti-
ful thought of making the trees living
monuments to the men who lost their
lives in France and on the high seas
is the aid the movement will give to
checking the deforestation OF the
United States. All memorial trees and
groves are being registered on an
honor roll kept in Washington by the
Forestry association.
/ Charlotte, Mich, has furnished an
example which those pushing the, plan
hope other tewns and cities will fol-
low. An unsightly piece of. ground IN
the town was converted into garden
spot through the work of the school
children and citizens of the town, with
the American Legion playing a
prominent part. Seven thousand
year-old white pines were planted, L.
600 hard wood trees, mostly maple
and elm; 100 black walnut 100 but
ternut, and a grove of red oaks were
placed. A memorial tablet stands in
The center of the park, noting that the
grove is a memorial to the Eaton
county men who went across and did
not come back.
70 One of the last official acts of Col
onel T. w. Galbraith, Jr., late COM
mandcr of the American Legion, before
his tragic death in an automobile ac-
cidcnt, was to plant trees at the inter-
section of the National and Dixie
highways in memory of his fallen
comrades in arms. These trees are
planted in the town Of Vandalia, OHIO.
The American Legion is now making
plans to continue the memorial trees
from this point along both highways.
These rows of trees lining the two
great roads will, it is expected, be
dedicated to Colonel Galbraith himself.
Near Canton, and not far from VAN
dalfR. tree planting soon is to be re-
sumed by an organization OF Stark
county women which bids fair to be
the leading county unit In this work.
These women, headed by Mrs. Will
liam D. Caldwell, have planted hum
drcds of trees along the Lincoln high
way. and are completing the planting
of a memorial avenue called "Presi-
dents Row." that runs from the high
way 400 yards to the tomb of the
martyred President Mckinley.
In starting the planting of "Presi-
dents Row." the trowel used by Mrs.
Harding, wife of the president, was
utilized for the first time outside of
Washington. The trowel is now in

|CLARKE PRAISES
PRESENT TAX Law
By Associated Press,

! Owensbboro, KY, Sept. I'll
! The classified tax law adopted in
j Kentucky in 1917 has brought out
/, about one billion dollars worth OIL
property not heretofore assessed
and has reduced taxes on real es-
tate while increa sing the total Of
taxes collected for state uses, p.
| N. Clarke, Secretary of the Ken
I lucky Tax Reform Association.
told the annual convention of the
County Judges Association at its
! first session here today.
"The classified tax law adopted
in Kentucky in 1917 has brought
out formerly omitted and under
valued personal property to the
extent of about one billion dollars
) and has enabled reduction in the
state tax rate of thirty-seven and
! one-half per cent" Mr.. Clarke
told the Judges. Real estate
which formerly paid four-hftfs OF
the taxes is now paying only a
little more than one-half and
] while the state revenue from
/ taxes has increased 100000 in
the past four years the taxes on
real estate and live stock are only
| ten per cent more than in 1917
under the old law, while personal
| property is now paying the other
ninety per cent.
THAT taxes are higher is due
to the increased assessments OF
property which the old law prov
ides shall be uniformly at the fair
cash value. and the state tax
commission is endeavoring 10,
| equalize assessments in accord
ance with the law. Another re-
son for higher taxes is because OF
| the retention of the old tax rates
in counties and cites where they
| have been retained or increased
/ in the face of increased assess
! mentS.
The assessment of property
for county taxation in 1917 was
! $922,OOO,OOO, while property now
| subject to county taxes is assess
ed at 81 .5OO.OOO,COO. County rev.

MODEL AERIAL HIGHWAY
WILL Be BUILT IN EAST
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 26.-America's
first model aerial highway will be
constructed early this year, the U. S.
Air Service declared today.
The airway will connect Washing
ton and Dayton, Ohio, this statement
said, and will be provided with land
ing fields at 15-minute flight inter-
walls. The fields all will be equipped
with radio control stations, night
navigation aids, housing and main
tenance equipment-accommodation
that will make general travel over
the route safer, the announcement
said, than auto touring by road.
The primary purpose Of the airway
will be to demonstrate the value of
such routes not only for commercial
use but for national defense, and to
test whether they should be subject
to federal interstate legislation rather
than state control.
Being without authority to pur-
chase ground for landing fields, the
Air Service is cooperating with local
chambers of commerce apd private
companies to organize the first route,
it was said. Nearly a hundred land
ing fields not part of Air Service
property already are charted.

N0NPARTISANS
KEEP Up FIGHT
Independents and Leaguers
Mix for Biggest Political
Fight of North Dakota
(By United Press)

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 26.-Nonparti-
san league officials today took up the
gauntlet thrown down by their OPP
ponents yesterday. They forecasted
a political fight this summer such as
North Dakota has never seen. The
move of the Independents to recall
Governor Frazier, Acknowledgement
Lemke and Agricultural Commission
or Hagen was met with a decision that
a recall referendum would involve
every state official.
\ "No one will be allowed to sit on
the fence in this fight" leaguers an
nounced. Leaders said that they are
preparing to raise $15O,OOO to finance
a campaign. They have already pick
ed a slogan. Summer Fallow and
Fight" will be the cry of the farmer
leaguers, they said. An election cam
not be held before June.
Independents opposed to the Mont
partisan administration planned to
introduce laws to take the industrial
commission out of the hands of the
governor and attorney general and
place the secretary of state and the
state treasurer on the commission
with the commissioner of agriculture.
Another law would restrain and
greatly limit the State Bank of North
Dakota, created by the league to fl
nance statc-owned industries. Others
would establish rural credit system
and make changes in election proce-
dure.
The Independents stated that the
signatures of two-thirds of the voters
at the general election last fall would
be necessary to stage recall. Only
10000, however, would be required
to the vote on the new laws. The
Nonpartisans are confident that their
opponents will not be able to secure
enough signatures to affect recall.
However, Independents predicted the
same with the Nonpartisans in stag
ing a recall Of their own.
