Goveroor Smith has a Petition *n
Favor of a Good Negro
Atlanta, Ga., Inly 11.—Governor
Smith haa received a petition for
pardon ot a negro named Will Neal,
whoso ease Is one of the moat uni
que that has ever come to light.
The petition la based on the allega
tion that the negro Is too honest to
be a convict
It Is said that when the warden
one* turned the negro loose, for
getting that he waa to served an ad
ditional sentence, the negro thought
the matter over, decided that he
couldn't honestly keep his liberty
and reminded the warden of the
oversight.
The petition for tho negro’s par
don has been sent to the governor
by Judge Prince Edwards of the
Tallapoosa circuit, by whom ho was
sentenced. The Judge has every
confidence In the negro and believes
that his past record has shown that
he will, If freed, make a desirable
colored cltlsen.
He was sentenced for assault with
Intent to murder.
Mr. W: L. Convene, of Lowndes
county, offered a measure In the
house ye^erday making an annual
appropriation of »16;<I00 to the
stete normal college for South Geor
gia, to be located at Valdosta. We
believe the etete Is going to provide
for this school this year.
