Former Athens Man is
Endorsed for the Place
as (Successor to the
Late Senator Clay.
The letter below, sent to and pub
lished In the Augusta Herald of
very recent date, will be of more
then interest to Athene readers, since
Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall, the subject
of the communication, Is a former
Athens man and has a number of rel
atives and many friends in the Classle
City:
Stovall for the Senete.^
Augusta, (In., March 8th', 1911.
To the Editor of The Herald, Sir:
I have seen In your paper and other
papers of Georgia the fact that the
many friends of Mr. Pleasant A Sto
vall are urging his name as the prop
er one to succeed the late Senator A
S. Clay In the United States senate.
If I mistake not this selection will be
made at the next session of the Geor
gia legislature.
Would it not be well for some of
the many friends of Mr. Stovall In
this city to take tlve initiative In this
matter? As you no doubt know many
voters of Augusta are In favor of this
movement and most overy one here
will vote for him, but as yet there
hae not boen any concerted action
along thia line.
I know that Mr. 8tovall Is not seek
ing the position, for modesty Is one
of hit many virtues, but it wquld cer
tainly be an honor that bb would most
highly appreciate, and. If elected, he
would repreeent the Empire State of
the South In a manner that would re
flect credit upon the state of Georgia
and the entire South.
Mr. Stovall la a scholar, an orator,
a statesman, a legislator, a llterateur,
and a gentleman of education, cul
ture and refinement. His presence
In the halls of the .United States sen-
ate would be s reminder of the days
of yore when Georgia's voice was
heard above all and heeded by all.
Mr. Stovall la a citizen of Savan
nah, and the honored editor and own
er of one of the best papers In the
South, the Savannah Press, and his
close contact with th- politics of the
etate and the people of the state and
the press of the etate hare eminently
qualified him as a United States loc
ator. Indeed he Is prepared to don
the toga on a moment’i notice.
But Mr. Stoyall'e candidacy, If he
should be Induced to be a candidate,
would be practically Augusta's candi
date. He was bom and raised in Au-
gusts. His early education was here.
He worked here, ‘‘earned a living
here," made a name for himself here,
his people live here, and he himself
is often here Most everybody here
who is anybody knows Mr. Pleasant
A. Stovall—his most intimate friends
call him "Pleas”—and most every
body here would willingly vote for
him. Yours very truly,
O. P. TALBOTT.
Atlanta Is Forced By Fre
quent Accidents to pass
Better Law or Enforce
Old One.
Atlanta, March 14.—Numerous vio
lations of the new state automobile
law, coupled with frequent and some
times fatal accidents especially in the
cities, are stirring public sentiment,
according to all the Indications, to a
point where there Is soon going to be
a demand for both a better and more
protective law and for more strenuous
enforcement of It.
In Atlanta this feeling bns already
stirred the city council to the point of
making more stringent regulations
for the running of automobiles within
the city limits; and a special commit
tee has prepared a revision of the
auto ordinances which will be sub
mitted to council for Its action next
Monday.
In addition It Is proposed to put s
copy of the new ordinance Into the
hands or every city policeman and to
caution them that It must be enforc
ed.
Automobile oyvners are now regia-
tering with the! secretary 'of state at
the rate of about 100 a week, and he
has to date Issued 6,625 numbers, al
though he hns been Informed by deal
ers that thgre are between 8.000 and
9,000 cars operated In the state.
Only the other day a man walked
Into the office of Secretary Cook and
said he had been operating an auto
mobile tor a year, but bad no num
bers.
“Do you think I'll get In trouble?”
he asked.
“If the police bad done their duty
you certainly would have had trou
ble,” Mr. Cook replied.
'Give me a number quick," said the
man, planking down bis $2.

officers to make cases against all)

Brains, Meats and Dairy
Products Shows Heavy
Increase Over Feb
ruary 1910.
Washington, D. C. March 13.—Feb
ruary exportations of farm products
show a marked increase when com
pared with those of the corresponding
month last year, according to figures
Just received by the Bureau of Sta
tistics, Department of Commerce and
Labor. Corn, wheat, flour, other
breadstuffs, and meat and dairy pro
ducts all show a very large increase
in February, 1911, compared with Feb
ruary, 1910. The quantity of corn ex
ported In February, 1911, was practl
rally 10 3-4 million bushels, against
. 1-2 million in February of last year;
of wheat 1 1-3 million bushels, against
1 million a year age; of flour 839
thousand barrels, against 523 thou
sand in February, 1910; meat and
dairy products 10 3-4 million dollars
In value, against 9 3-4 million one
year ago; and cotton, 410 million
pounds, against 169 million pounds In
the coresponding month of last year.
In the 8 months ending with February
corn exports show also a large in
crease, being for that period 35 3-4
million bushels against 22 1-2 million
In the. corresponding period a year
earlier. Wheat exports, however,
show a marked decline, being In the
1911 period 18 1-3 million bushels,
bgainst 38 1-3 million In the corre
sponding period of 1910. The outward
movement of flour in the 1911 pe
riod is about the same as a year ago,
while other breadstuffs, show a total
export of 0 1-2 million dollars In val
ue In the 1911 period, against 4 1-2
million In the corresponding period of
the prior year. Meat and dairy prod-
ducts exported inthe 1911 period dif
fer but a little from those of 1910:
and cotton exports aggregated 501
million dollars In value In the 1911

ILLINOIS ICE DEALERS MEET.
Rock Island, III., March 14.—The
annual convention of the Illinois Ice
Peelers’ association met in this city
today with members present from
Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, Rock
ford and numerous other cities
throughout the etate.
there has scarcely a case been made.
Mr. Cook says he has himself seen
frequent violations of the law right
here In Atlanta. Autos are run at
night without headlights; numbers
are put In the wrong place and can
not be see,: at night; nutolsts round
curves and cross bridges without ever
slackening their speed, though the
law says they must reduce to tlx
miles an hour; cars are sold or ex
changed, ’hud the new owner falls to
register or procure a new number.
Only the other day a horse was kill
ed by an automobile in South Georgia,
and tha number having been secured.
Inquiry was made at the office of tbs
secretary of state as to the owner of
tbe car. The name In which the num
ber stood wax given and a claim was
made against the man for the loss of
tbe horse.
“Why I sold that car three months
ago,” he aafd.
However, be gave the name of the
party who had purchased it and the
man responsible tor tne accident was
found.
It Is stated a number of amend
ments to the law will be urged at the
coming session of tbe general assem
bly, and In addition some measure
will be asked to provide for the law’e
better enforcement.

earlier. Cattle, hogs and sheep form
the sole class showing a decline In
both the month of February and the
eight months ending with February,
the value thereof exported in Feb
ruary, 1911, being 824 thousand dol
lars, against 1 1-3 million In February,
1910, and in the eight months ending
with February, 1911, 7 million dollars,
against 10 1-2 million in tbe corre
sponding period of the preceding year.
One notable feature of the recent
exports of breadstuffs Is that the val
ue of com exported is far In excess
at that of wheat, being In the month
of February, 1911, 5 2-3 million dol
lars, against a little over 1 million
dollars' worth of wheat, and 3 3-4
million dollars' worth of flour. For
the 8 months' period, however, ex
ports of wheat and flour In combina
lion are larger in value than corn
exports, the value of wheat exported
in fhe eight months ending February,
1911, being 17 million dollars, and of
flour, 32 3-4 Alllion while the value
or corn exported is 19 3-4 million.
While the exportation of wheat dur
ing the eight months ending Febru
ary, 1911, has been much less than
that of the corresponding period last
year, and far below the annual aver-
age of the past decade, the figures
will not make tbe lowest record of
cur exports of that article. The to
tal exports- In the 8 months ending
February, 1911, are 18 1-3 million
■bushels, and In the single month of
February, 1 1-3 million, indicating that
for the fiscal year ending Jnne 30,
1911, the total will range between 20
and 30 million bushels, while the ex
ports of wheat in the fiscal year 1900,
following the very short crop of 1904,
amounted to only 4 1-3 million bush
els, the lowest record of wheat ex
port! In many years. It seems prob
able, however, that the exports of tbe
Ascii year 1911 will, with the single
exception of 1905, be smaller than In
any year since 18(9, when the total
was 17 1-2 million bushels.
TWO SIS
Stripling Case Which Has
Attracted Wide Attention
Now Showing Up
“Other Side.”
One bottle or box of Ane shoe pol
ish with every dollar Job of shoe work
done at my shop. No. 120 Clayton Bt.
Phone 1010. Max M. Hubert tf
Atlanta, March 14.—While there
there does not appear to have been
any widespread slackening in the
public sympathy throughout the state
in behalf of Thomas Edgar Stripling,
the former Danville. Va.. chief of po
lice who was recently brought back
to the state as an escaped convict
with a life sentence for murder com
mitted in Harris county fourteen
years ago, the interesting develop
ment of the protest and opposition to
the granting of clemency, gives as
surrance of one of the most sensa
tional hearings that has ever come
before the prison commission
"Hear the other side." says the wid-
ow of the man who was killed. She
has since remarried and is now Mrs.
G. M. Nelson of Chipley; she was
Mrs. William J. Cornett.
Why should he enjoy freedom and
family, she asks, and leave the widow,
children, and aged father and mother
of the murdered man the only one* to
suffer?
This question is going to be put up
to the prison commission when
comes to hear the case, and the other
side will be presented by Cornett'
family and friends.
For a tlmq It looked as If Stripling
would have easy sailing in securing
his liberty; the sympathy 'aroused for
him after fourteen years of ntonement
Is having its effect, and petition after
petition Is being circulated urging
executive clemency, while half a doz
en of these petitions bearing some
2,000 signatures, have already reached
Governor Brown.
In addition to tills the governor hn«
received hundreds of letters from
prominent citizens all over the state
as well as from other states, asking
him to exercise clemency In Strip
lings' case.
There have also come to the gov
ernor a few letters and qiumerous
newspaper clippings from the Dan
ville Register and from papers
Roanoke and Richmond, taking the
other side of the case, and stating
there was no reason why Stripling
should be pardoned.
He is too high strung, too quick on
the trigger, they say, and they point
out that he has killed two men while
going under the name of R. S. Mor
ris In Danville. One of these men he
killed before he became chief of po
lice, the other while chief, and the
newspaper accounts from tbe hostile
papers take the view that both of
these killings could have been avoid
ed. However, he was acquitted In
both Instances.
From accounts' too, It appears there
is some politics In the case. The hos
tile Virginia newspapers declare It
extremyly doubtful that a majority of
the citizens of Danville would sign a
petition for Stripling's pardon.
Stripling was known as the "pro.
hlbltlon” chief of police. He Is nn
advocate of prohibition and of course
the opponents of that policy have
fought him; perhaps, too, many of
them would like to see him held here
In Georgia and made to serve his sen
tence. • W
Governor Brown has not even read
any of the letters or petitions In tbe
case which must pass Arst through
tl)e prison commission. For this res.
son be Is, of course, referring all pe
titions and papers.connected with the
case to that body In its capacity at
pardon board.
The prison commission has set no
time for hearing the case, but It Is
quite probable It will be taken np at
the next meeting which will be held
Tuesday, April 4. There Is no reason
why It should not come up then, un
less some valid rason for a contin
uance Is presented by one side or the
other.
In the meantime Stripling remains
in. Jail In Columbus not having been
sent to the penitentiary. Disposition
of him rests with the prison commis
sion, it is stated, and If he were sent
tovthe penitentiary now,, it would be
to the state priaon farm hear Mll-
ledgevllle, since It would be impossi
ble to put him at work In a road
camp on account of his lame leg.
That lame leg was the result of a
fracture sustained In stopping a pair
of runaway horses, through ffhlch. It
It said, several lives were probably
saved.
On the other band, Mrs. Nelson,
Cornett’s widow. In her statement,
say* or Intimates that Stripling took
part In the lynching of a negro in
Columbus many yean ago.
It will be seen, therefore, that
everything, both to bis credit, and
discredit. Is being brought to light
Mrs. Nelson says tbe killing of
Cornett was assassination, that be
was shot down from- ambush. Strip
ling and hla friend* declare he shot
Cornett because of an Insult to a
woman member of hit family.
It will be seen that the case la
replete with sensational details, alio?
which will, no doubt, be brought out
on tbe hearing before the prison com.
mission. Everything conspires to
make It one of the most sensational
cases that has ever come before the
pardon board and the governor.
POULTRY SHOW
Suggestion of Mrs. Upson
in Letter to the Press
Meeting With Much
Endorsement.
Tbe Banner is glad to contribute its
influence to the movement for a great
poultry show here In the coming fall.
There have been many expressions
of endorsement and co-operation with
Mrs. L. L. Upson, one of the most
enthusiastic chicken fanciers in the
section and state, whose recent let-
ter published In the Clarke county
Courier and The Banner attracted at
tention. She suggested the holding
of a great fair here and the prior or
ganization of a county association un
der the regular rules of the larger
association. Chicken raisers
Gainesville, Commerce, Winder, Jef
ferson, Lexington, Madison, Washing
ton and many other points nearby
have already expressed their inten
tlon of entering fowls if the poultry
show is held this fall in Athens,
this connection the following commu-
ideation will be of interest:
For the Show Sure.
Editor Banner:—It is with pleasure
I read the article of Mrs. L. 7* Upson
suggesting a poultry show for Athens
this fall. 1 had intended calling the
attention of the Banner to such
movement and ask that you would
give, not only the poultry breeders,
hut the citizens at large an oppor
tunity to discuss a poultry show for
Athens: but Mrs. Upson, her ability
re-lnforced by her experience, has
gone into the details ably and now
only remains to follow up her sugges
lions and have this show. Atlanta
and other progressive cities have
realized the benefits of such shows,
and why not Athens, too? I have
wondered why Athens has never tak
en up this matter. Her citizens, as
sisted by your magnificent paper, have
done other things and have reaped
hnd are still reaping the rewards that
'come from such movements, it Is not,
therefore, for the poultrymen alone to
work 6ut the details and secure this
show but the chamber of commerce
could render its aid and the citizens
of Athens in general should help It
afong. Very few people realize what
a poultry show means and not one
person In a thousand (except in local
Itles where poultry shows are held)
knows to what extent the breeding of
fine poultry exists. There are a num
ber of fanciers. If you are a mind to
call them that In Oconee county.
Among them Mr. M. C. Griffith, Buff
Plymouth Rocks: E. P. Johnson
Rhode Island Reds: A. W. Ashford
Barred Plymouth Rocks; A. C. Jack-
son, While Plymouth Rocks; B.
Overby, Bronze Turkeys and Guineas
C. W. Chandler, Rhole island Rtds
F. R. Booth, Pit Games. No doubt
there are as many more whom 1 don’t
recall Just now. And I believe the
majorlty-of these will Join this move
ment even If they do not exhibit
stock.
Now, Mr. Editor, don't let this tiling
stop where It Is but boost It along. I
suggest that Mrs. Upson appoint
committee and I nominate her chair
man to consider ways and means for
organization and at some proper date
call a meeting to enroll members and
perfect the organization of tbe asso
ciation. .Yours truly,
A. W. MEADOWS.

Thomas Bailey. Seventeen years ago
this fall he left hit home and mother,
then Mrs. Hunnlcutt, he went to Flor

the lady he had been boarding with.
All she could tell of him was he had

his room for a month, he was golns
down to the wharf to get work. Noth
ing more was ever heard from him.
Several pictures and letters of bis
were brought back to hla mother, who
has all these years given him up a*
dead. Now she baa also received a
letter from him, saying be was still
under treatment at the hospital at

‘UfiUSTA IS AFTER
CADEHNCAMPENI
Fund Being Raised By Alumni
to Secure the University
Cadets.j —
(From Augusta Chronicle.)
The Augusta Alumni of the Uni
versity of Georgia are responding
well to the Invitation of the Chamber
of Commerce to contribute to the
fund to secure for Augusta the en
campment of the University alumni
next month. One hundred and thirty-
live dollars has been subscribed by
the Alumni, and a number have not
jet been heard from. The secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, who
has taken up the matter, feels conff-
dent that Auguste can secure this
encampment, which will put the ca
dets here during Memorial week and
have them here for the musical festi
val. It will take more than 1500 to
get the encampment here, and nearly
one-fourth of this has been raised. A
sysematic canvass will be made Mon
day by Mr. Hafns, Mr. Welgle and Mr.
M. Slusky. All of these young men
are Intensely interested in the Uni
versltr, and are working splendidly to
Set the'encampment here. Just at
this time when Augusta is trying to
link its medical college more closely
in association with the University,
it Is believed that the coming of the
cadets will be a good advertisement
for Augusta.
The appropriation by the state for
the encampment is so little that It
pays but little of the expenses, and
it is necessary for Augusta to raise
the rest of the amount, and the Cham
her of Commerce believes that the
pride In the University among the
alumni Is sufficient to warrant them
bring called upon in this cause.
The following are the subscribers
to date, with the amounts they have
agreed to pay on or before April 15,
It enough is realized to put Augusta
in the bidding for the encampment
