“TOO MUCH APPEALING,”
SITS GOVERNOR BROWN
Georgia’s Executive Con
demns Tendency to Contest
Verdicts of Trial Courts
•There la getting to be too much of
this Indiscriminate appealing to the prison
commission and the executive, over the
judgments of the courts.” said Governor
Brown Thursday morning.
"It is coming to a state of affairs that
cannot last long. When sworn officers
of justice and sworn jurors, peers of the
man on trial, find a man guilty, there
should be some very K*** l r * aßon to offer
•whert* the case is brought before the pris
on commission or is haled into this office
for retrial. The practice is getting too
general.”
In his views, emphatically expressed,
the governor was concurring exactly with
Prison Commissioner Hutchens, chairman
of the board. Chairman Hutchens had re
marked. Wednesday afternoon, that prac
tice is tending to make almost a trial
court out of the commission’s audience
room.
Governor Brosyn says conditions are
pretty much the same in this respect i«i
the other states of the union. He found
this out. he says, at the recent confer
ence of governors in 55 ashington.
executive should turn this tendency as
that conference.” says the governor, "that
executive should turn this tendency as
much as they can by upholding the trial
courts instead of reversing them."
WEBB NEGRO MUST HANG;
GOVERNOR’S THUMB DOWN
Willard Webb's last hope is gone. The
Cobb county negro, convicted and sen
tenced to die for criminal assault, will
hang, at Marietta Friday. Governor
Brown has refused to interfere in his
, case.
Wednesday afternoon the prison com
mission declined to recommend executive
clemency. Wednesday evening with their
refusal before him. Governor Brown also
declined to interfere with the course of
law. and so informed D. W. Blair, of
Marietta, one of the negro’s counsel.
Webb has been under a respite of two
weeks, which expires Friday. He will
hang then.
In refusing to interfere in the negro s
behalf. Governor Brown makes comment
* that no new evidence is adduced tending
to show Webb’s innocence; that the at
tempted alibi was heard by the jury
which convicted Webb; and that of all
the 45 sworn officers of justice, from the
grand jury that indicted Webb to the
prison commission that refused to give
him clementv, not one officer has in
dorsed the petition for executive clem

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1910.
PATRIOTS OF ‘76 ARE KNOCKED
FROM PEDESTAL BY STARK
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams, John Han
cock and Patrick Henry Called “Undesirables”—Boston
Citizens Accused of Being R ude to Redcoats
I New York World.
i BOSTON, Feb. 16.—Suppose that you
occupied a tall social pedestal because
,of the reflected glory of a revolutionary
i(1776) ancestor? Suppose that some one
'wrote a book knocking your progenitor
■from his pedeatal? Wouldn’t it make you
;mad? Well, a man in Boston is out with
a volume in which he puts what is col
loquially known as the "kibosh” on sev
eral revered patriots. The person who
has dipped his pen in vitriol to tne con
fusion of a lot of New England and Vir
ginia aristocracy is John H. Stark. His
torian Stark has carefully selected Ben
jamin Franklin, John Adams. Samuel
I Adams, John Hancock. Patrick Henry
and a few more immortals and robbed
1 them of their halos. The title of the book
is "The Loyalists of Massachusetts and
the Other Side of the American Revolu
tion."
Mr. Stark recites that Benjamin
Franklin robbed the mails and being
found out was fired from his job as post
■ master of Boston. Think of saying that
of the only man who signed four of the
' most famous documents in history—the
i declaration of independence, the treaty
alliance with France, the peace pact
Great Britain and the constitution
' f the United States—and who also
tamed the lightning and invented the
Franklin stove. In order that he may
not be charged with speaking wholly on
his nerve, Mr. Stark produces things he
has dug from the records, submitting
them as proof.
PATRICK HENRY "UNRELIABLE.
Gayly does the troubadour proceed in a
manner to make the Sons and Daugh
ters of the American Revolution boil
with rage. In singing reminiscently of the
causes leading to the casting off of the
British yoke by the galled jade, these are
his lines:
"In Virginia the revolutionary move
ment of the poor whites, or ‘crackers,’
led by Henry, was against the
i lanter aristocracy. It was only very
slowly and very deliberately that Wash
ington identified himself with the dis
nlonist cause.”
As for Patrick Henry, whose "Give me
liberty or give me death," has gone ring
ing down the corridor of time. Stark
says: "Patrick Henry was one of the
most unreliable men living. Byron called
him a forest born Demosthenes, and Jef
ferson (see Williams Jennings Bryan s
orations), wondering over his career, ex
claimed. 'Where he got that torrent of
language is inconceivable. I have fre
quently closed my eyes while he spoke
and when he was done asked myself what
he had said without being able to recol
lect a word of it.’ He had been succes
sively a storekeeper, a farmer and a
shopkeeper, but he failed In all these pur
suits and became a bankrupt at 23. Then
he studied law a few weeks and practiced
a few years. Finally he embarked on the
stormy sea of politics. One day he work
ed himself into a fine frenzy, and in a
most dramatic manner demands ‘liberty
or death’ although he had both freely at
his disposal.”
AS FOR STARK HIMSELF.
Who is this Stark? What weight has
he? Well, he was born In England, but
3 PROCEEDINGS BEGUN

MISS GWENDOLYN WILSON
PASSES W GREAT BEYOND
News has been received in the city of
the death of Miss Gwendolyn Wilson at
her home in Luthersville. Ga. Her death
occurred Sunday morning at 9 o'clock,
following a brief illness. She was in her
25th year.
Miss Wilson is the daughter of Mr.
Mannie Wilson, and is well known in this

TWO GUY LIPSCOMBS;
ONE IS BEING SUED
Guy Ernest Lipscomb, son of W. R. !
Lipscomb. 25 Oglethorpe avenue, Is per- |
turbed for fear some of his acquain- i
tances may suppose him to be the Guy
Lipscomb against whom divorce pro-I
ceedings are pending in the superior [
court. It is simply a coincidence in
names, and the Guy Lipscomb whose
wife is seeking an annulment of tho
marriage, is of an entirely different fam
ily, according to the statement of Mr.
Guy Ernest Lipscomb.
came to this country when 9 years old.
He is the founder of several important so
cieties in Boston, including the Dorchester
Historical society. South Boston Yacht
club an da member of the New England
society.
John Adams, a sogned of the Declaration
of Independence, was if we are to heed tne
inexorable Stark, the original discoverer
of telling which way to by
putting the ear to the grounfl. "John Ad
ams." he says, "joined the disunionists
probably because he saw that if the rev
olution was successful there would be
great opportunity for advancement under
the new government. This proved to be
the case.”
"Come on, Samuel Adams, signer of the
Declaration, and get yours. You were tax
collector at Boston, were you not. Mr. Ad
ams, at a time when $5,000 was considered
a lot of dough? Yes? Well, what did you
do with it—that $5.<)00 tax money you
swiped? I now quote from a letter iw
your own handwriting, in which you con
fess to this defalcation."
Mr. Stark uses language of which the
foregoing is a free translation, and adds
that as the patriot who gave England
such a hard slap did not make good,
his sureties had to pay the $5,000. As
a co-related matter the new lexicon tor
the first families of Massaehusettts says
that B. Franklin was 67 years old when
"he stole letters from the mail,” an
inadvertency said to have cost him his
job.
CALLS HANCOCK A DEFAULTER
Passing to the next pillory, we tickle
the feet of the revered John Hancock,
who will be shown somewhat a knight
of the jimmy and dark lantern, looting
the then Harvard college. "In 1774,”
writes Mr. Stark, "John Hancock was
elected treasurer of Harvard college. In
this they considered their patriotism
more than their prudence. The amount
of college funds paid over to him was
upwards of 15,100 pounds, and, like his
friend Samuel Adams, he, too, proved to
be a defaulter. For 20 years the cor
poration begged and entreated him to
make restitution. They threatened to
prosecute him and also put his bond in
suit as Adams was, but it was all of no
avail. He turned a deaf ear to their
entreaties, and it was only after his
death in 1793 that his heirs made restitu
tion to the college, when a settlement
was made in 1795, in which the college
lost $526 interest.”
After telling that several of the signers
of the declaration of independence were
smuggles. Mr. Stark takes up with care
ful detail *he Boston mobs and the events
leading up to the revolution. In telling
of the Boston massacre he says: "The
rioters repeatedly challenged the sol
diers to fire if they dared, and the tor
rent of coarse and profane abuse poured
upon the soldiers is astonishing even <n
its echoes across the century, and would
furnish material for an appropriate In
scription on the Attucks monument."
Concerning the Boston tea party Mr.
Stark Says: "The illegal seizure of tne
tea was in a certain sense paralleled to
the so-called ‘respectable’ mob, which on
the 11th day of August, 1834, destroyed the
Charlestown convent, and a year later
nearly killed Garrison and made the
Jail his only safe place of refuge."

NATURE’S GIFT FROM THE SUNNY
SOUTH
During the Civil War. cotton growing was
so profitable that it is said tbe natives of
India purchased silver plow-shares with
j which to till the cotton fields. Yet, under the
< stimulus of highest prices. India could raise
I only three million bales: the South produces
over twelve million bales each year. It
i will be seen therefore that in this product
: of nature, tbe South stands supreme.
' Not less important is the oil of tbe Cotton
seed which, when refined, ranks in purity and
wholesomeness with the choicest olive oil
and. in the form of Cottolene, yields a cook
ing fat superior to lard.
Cottolene is vegetable—so pure, wholesome,
economical and efficient, that it is truly one
jt Nature’s best gifts from the South.

Market Reports
NEW YORK. Feb. 17. lb* cotton market
open<>d steady at unchanged prices to an ad
vance of 5 isiiuts. which was not a full re
sponse to relatively firm cables, and soon sc.t<i
off to a net loss of 5 to 10 points under over
night selling orders, a t-newsl of local hear
pressure and general liquidation, 'there was a
little foreign buying on the call, but the •!►•-
mand from thi.-. source was restricted by the
poor cable service, and beyond covering by
shorts on n scale down there appeared to be .o
support.
Below 14.E0 for May spot houses became
buyers, and after selling at 14.45 for that posi
tion. with the active months generally showing
a net loss of about 11 to 14 points, the market
rallied on this demand and covering. I’he fact
that spot people were willing to buy below 'ne
14’Jc level seemd to check aggtessive selling
for short account and prices during the isle
forenoon were steadier, with the market at
midday holding within 3 to 5 points of last
night's close. •
Estimated receipis at the ports today, 11.000
bales, against 24,557 hales last week and IZ»®D
bales last year. For the week, 85,000 bales,
against 87,779 bales last week and 142,140 bales
iast rear.
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 1,031 bales,
against 3.922 bales last year.
Tho rally to about 14.5 for May was followed
by wnewed weakness during the early after
n<>o* unrer continued liquidation, while hnyer*
on tbe earlier break dithdrew their support on
the advance. Prices eased off a little, wtth
the active months selling at a net lonss of about
12SH6 points before there was a renewal of
spot house buying and while tbe market re
covered 8 or 10 points of. the loss the undertone
showed Htle improvement".
In the last hour the cotton market firmed
on covering with prices 3 to 15 points net
higher.

COTTON OPINIONS
Argo. Jester A Co.: Lack of Interest tn the
article and uncertainty regarding the new crop
and tbe spot situation do not promise well t >r
any siistalced advance, and it looks as if the
market would have to seek a still lower level
before purchases will again become advisable.
Edward Moyse & Co.: The continued liqulda
firm has given rise to a belief that the mg |
longs are getting tired of their May deal, and )
have been qiilctlv slipping out.
Dick Br<s. & Co.: The stubbornness of the
southern holders Is becoming less and less ft a ,
bullish factor, as It Is believed that the situa :
tion would be much improved if the south sold ,
cotton more freely and thus permitted the raw •
material to pass into coua-jiuption instead ■t •
forc’ng the mills to buy on a hand-to-nioutu |
basis st prices that are In most cases highly t
unprofitable.

HAYWARD k CLARK S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 17.—Liverpool
advices continue bullish and the market
. show’s resistance to decline on spot condi
(lions. Market differences are steadily
widening to a point where cotton can be
moved on a reasonable basis on Liver
pool futures, a condition which will bring >
spot demand to our side. Pessimism rules
in the contract market on our side. Open
ing about unchanged, prices broke 20
points in the first hour to 14.65 for May
on news o f labor troubles in the northern
mill districts which may lead to a gen
eral strike. The trade situation and the
(supply situation do not warrant a declie , i
in cotton, but it must be admitted that u
there is no bull defense e whatever at
present, and bear forces in the north can
put it down with little effort. The bull
ish rights of cotton, based on the gen- !
eral deficiency in supply this season,- are
bound to again assert themselves.
What little long interest there was has
been liquidated this week, and the market
is short. Any attempt to cover causes
sharp upturns. May jumped from 14.60. to
14.74 on short covering, but such gains -
receive no bull backing and short sell|ng
sets in on the slightest weakness n New
•York. Bad weather prevents spot.business
.here here today, but it is known that
Europe accepted a good offers over
night. —|
