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 Tried Again. Col. M. H. Boyer, of Hawkins ville, was here Monday and defend ed F. W. Shelton in a case before Mayor Wynne. Mr. Shelton was charged with the storing of intoxi cating liquors for illegal purposes. He was fined fifty dollars.

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.

Duggan entertained the lady teachers at tea last Satur day evening after which an old fashioned candy pulling was enjoy ed. The evening void of formality, was a delightful one. Those pre sent were: Misses Hines, Radcliff, Fisher, Winn and Stanford; Messrs. Porter, Wynne,Duggan,Walters and Bailey. Notice. The lit. Rev. F. F. Reese, D. I)., Bishop of Georgia, will preach and administer the sacred rite of con firmation in St. Luke’s Episcopal church, Hawkinsville Sunday, next May 22nd at 11 a. m. You arc cordially invited to be present. 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. Remus.
