Cashier Pharr
Must Serve Term.
Governor Brown Refuses to Grant
Clemency in Case of Bank
Cashier ‘Defaulter .
Atlanta, Ga., May 15 —For the
second time within a year Governor
Brown declined to grant clemency
in the case of Olin Pharr, the de
faulting bank cashier, of Mcßae,
Georgia.
Pliarr has served two years of a
four years’ sentence for embezzling
$15,000 from the bank of Mcßae.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear upon the governor to grant
him a parole. Pharr is a man of
excellent family and has powerful
friends in Telfair and adjoining
countses
In declining a parole the gover
nor said in part:
“It was shown in the trial of the
case that Pharr had embezzled
$15,000 from the bank. He was
originally indicted on eight counts,
on any of which he might have
received a sentence of seven years.
He was tried on one, and got a
sentence of four years, which, in my
opinion was remarkably light.
“It seems to me that to liberate a
man after he had served only two
years of a sentence for such a crime,
would be only to invite repetitions
of like offenses. This, I cannot, as
governor of the state, sworn hr exe
cute the law, conscientiously do.”
F. W. Shelton

Col. M. H. Boyer, of Hawkins
ville, was here Monday and defend

case was appealled to the Council

May 31st.

An Interesting Arti
cle from Route 4.
Very few people make any kick
on a little newspaper notoriety; in
fact we all rather enjoy this way of
coming before the public. What is
the use to have anything good and
not tell it to others. A person can
be what you call smart, but what
does it amount to unless some one
else finds it out. A doctor might
be able to cure rheumatism or tub
erculosis, but if he sits quietly by
and says nothing, what is his infor
mation worth? And where does his
fame come in? I believe in talking
out in “meetin.” Blow your horn,
and the people will look your way:
raise a dust, a big dust, and the
next thing the community will start
an investigation to learn the cause.
Printers ink has made thousands
of men because public attention
was turned that way. Enterprises
both public and private are largely
shaped and influenced by the people
talking for it, and this is invariably
initiated by the press.
Every man, woman and child can
tell you something about Enrico
Caruso, whose name has been to
every fireside through the newspap
ers. His name is known to the
four corners of the world. So it is
with Agrinaldo, Teddy, William
Jennings, Ben Tillman, Tom Wat
son and so on down the line. Make
a fuss and tongues will do the rest.
A man can accomplish anything
within the scope of human possibili
ty. If he has the gray matter back
of a determination to win, success is
his, you simply can’t check the on
ward progress of a man who stands
out to land on top —No sir, you
can’t. Notice an energetic man will
you! Take note of his movements
—Look at his eye and you will dis
cover that it is going toward the top
rung of the ladder and right there
you will find him. The more you
kick and cuff him, the “worser” he
gets.
When I opened up on this letter,
I had in mind the Evergreen com
munity taking'in a radius of six
or eight miles. In my next it is
my purpose to draw a contrast be
tween social conditions now and
twelve or fifteen years back, compare
ttte prices of land now and then.
Take in the dominant and ruling
faotor on the farm, show the won
derfully improved conditions in
every feature .contributing to an ideal
country community.
Y@g, we are going to bring this

nence it deserves. But we are rath
er handicapped in our efforts by
our constant companion, old man
Sambo, who is mighty fogy in some
of his notions. He sticks to his old
time ways and a mogul couldn’t
side-track him —For instance, he
contends that if you plant corn on
the dark of the moon, you will get
fodder and no corn; that if you
plant beans ou the increase of the
moon, it requires little or no meat
to season them —Now you can ima
gine what a hopeless task it is to lock
horns with Sambo to “argufy” any
subject. We write what we believe
and he can go to the “dickens”
with his old moon notions.
