Dying Confection Free* Convict
After 23 Years In Prison
Chester, 111.—Jesse Lucas, who
spent almost half of his fifty years
of life in the Menard State Prison
for a murder he always said he did
not commit, was enjoying freedom
Monday as the result of a death-bed
confession of another man.
George R. Pond, a farmer who
lived near Decker, Ind., dying, con
fessed he killed Clyde Showalter, a
young stock buyer, twenty-six years
ago, and this brought release for
Lucas Sunday, after twenty-three
years as prisoner No. 401.
The Illinois Board of Pardons and
Paroles paroled Lucas to Mayor T. B.
Wri. ht. oi Alt. Carmel, 111., who met
Lucas at the penitentiary gates and
took him back to his home town.
The mayor said he would give Lucas
a job, adding: “He can make my
home his home."
Lucas’ widowed mother died three
years ago. She and her son both
were found guilty of killing Showalt
er, whose body was discovered float
ing in the Patoka River. She was
freed, at anew trial. Two witnesses,
one of them a reformatory inmate,
testified they saw Lucas and his
mother kill the stock buyer and
throw the body in the water. Lucas
said ofTn Is “framed” him to solve
the crime.
PRACTICAL COTTON RELIEF
The placing of an order for 10,-
000,000 bags by Godchaux Sugars,
Inc., a large New Orleans concern,
for the announced purpose of help
ing to boost the cotton market,
points the way for other manufact
urers to lend practical relief to an
industry upon the prosperity of
which the economic welfare of the
country is largely dependent.
Cotton is the largest single ex
port article of the United States.
Without its billion-dollar total our
imports would be greater than our
exports and American business and
commercial dominance would not ex
ist.
Therefore, it behooves every man
ufacturer in the United States to
contribute to the extent of his abili
ty to the enlarged use of cotton—
which after all, is the one panacea
which will be of permanent benefit.
There is no rhyme nor reason for
the present situation under which
cotton, field, vcbetable, and manu
factured products of all kinds are
being shipped in bagging mode of
jute, grown on cheap land and culti
vated by coolie labor in far-off India.
The elimination of jute from com
petition with cotton would mean the
taking off the market each year of a
half-million bales with a resultant
strengthening of prices. And yet
jute is allowed to enter the country
tariff free to knife a product so im
portant to the economic welfare of
every state in the Union, while high
barriers are erected to prevent en
trance of substitutes for commodi
ties that have no such general in
fluence.
Reduction in cotton production
must be effected and kept up on a
sliding scale as foreign production
grows in the years to come, but it is
equally vital that the businessmen
and manufacturers of the United
States increase consumption by
making use of it for every possible
purpose.
By so doing they will be helping
themselves as well as the grower
and spinner. Cotton occupies so
dominant a position ui our economic
scheme that unless it brings a good
price there can be no sound basis for
our national financial structure. —

GREAT COTTON PICKING
The news has reached us relative
to some unusually fine cotton picking
by some negro children of Bud
Thrasher, who lives on the plantation
of H. C. and Mrs. J. W. Snow, at
Snow’s Mill, last Wednesday, and
Mrs. Snow vouches for the truthful
ness of their achievement. One of
them, Johnelle, age 17, picked 51“
pounds; another, Willie, 15, picked
520; Julia, 13, picked 409; Jack, 11,
picked 310, and Mahlon, 9, picked
208. The five, in one day, and in a
reasonable length of time, all racing
one against the other, picked 1,966
pounds. The report accompanying
this good work is to the effect these
are industrious children and that the
white people of the community de
sired that they be given this public
acknowledgement of work well done.
—Walton News.
Hundreds of schemes are being
proposed to remedy present condi
tions, and the authors of them think
they have the “one and only,” but
the best one we know of is to grin
and bear it. That is, bear it as long
as you can hold out and grin if you
can.—Dawson News.
