PETITION FOR PARDON


To His Excollnncy. the Governor, and
the Honorable Pardoniny Boaro Of
the State OF Mississippi
We, the undersigned officer no
citizens Of Jones County respcc I
Is petition you that you grant unto
Jim Robinson, Of this county, 2 lCl
and complete pardon from the STATE
pcnitentiary, and assign the foilow-
ing Facts as our reasons for this pe-
titun;
Jim Robinson was sentenced TO Che
penitentiary from the first district Of
Jones county for term Of four years
for q crime which he never tried TO
cover but to which he pleaded guilty
to the court.
He was at the time Of the crime
only q years old, unsophisticated,
and thought to be unable to realize
the seriousness Of the crime.
He had up to that time never been
connected with anything questionable
having a perfect record so far as be
havior Of all sorts was concerned.
He comes Of large and respecta-
bic family. there never having been a
charge registered against one Of the
name before, and they are much
crushed in spirit by his conviction.
It is felt that he was led in this
crime by one Of strong and trained
habits at such.

People think nothing Of starting on

One thing that have noticed is
that the poorer counties have the best
roads. This shows that it is not 30
much o question Of ability as il OF
good Judgment and will. The more
wealthy counties are now trying g
catch up with their poor neighhors,
but they are long way behind, and
Il will take time and work to succeed
1 have been told that the wealthiest
and best to do counties are occupied
by farmers and that they are natur-
hlly slow to move in anything that
means progress, consequently they
vote down anything and everything
that means to go ahead. | am not
prepared to vouch for the correctness
of this statement. but It reminds me
OF some things that have heard and
seen before.
Another very remarkable thing that
surprised me was the result Of my in
ouiry about taxes. ] had an idea
that the people had taxed and bonded
themselves nearly or quite into bank
ruptcy in order TO have such fine
roads In order to satisfy myself
went to a party who lives in the very
center Of the system Of fine roads
that belt almost tine entire country,
and asked him what the tax rate was
He told me and magm my surprise
when he named an amount that was
a little less than half what we pay in
Hattiosburg. II asked how they man-
aged TO do this my answer is, don't
know. I only know that the fine, use
full and beautiful roads are here, and |
the taxes that we pay are unknown /
here.
/ firmly believe that IL would pay |
the people Of the State Of Mississippi
to send a commission down TO Florida |
and have them investigate the meth
ods Of construction in vogue here,
and the way they raise the money TO
do t.
