BOARD DIDN'T ACT
BUT GOVERNOR DID.
Atlanta, Ga., May 22. —Gover-
nor Smith has granted a pardon
to Albert Kent (colored), sen
tenced to life imprisonment in
Screven county, for the alleged
death of Spencer Mobley, a negro
farmer. Kent has served six years
of his life term.
Particular interest attaches to
this pardon tor the reason that;
the case had not been considered j
by the prison commission, though I
application for pardon had been |
presented to it. The Governor sent j
for the papers aud record ot the
case and after duly considering
t hem granted the pardon himself.
The pardon was granted upon
the statement of the former prose
cuting otlicers that Kent had I men
convicted upon testimony for the
prosecution, which, has now been
discovered to have been uncertain.
'The accused was urged to plead
guilty by his counsel upon the
statement of the wife of Mobley,
who identified Kent as her hus
band's assailant.. This witness
has recently admitted that she i
was not certain Kent was one ot j
party which shot, her husband.
This admission is made in writing.
Fearing the evidence, counsel
for Kent entered a plea of guilty,
so as to secure a recommendation
for mercy. The accused through
out the trial emphatically denied
his guilt. The petition for execu
tive clemendy was indorsed by the
prosecuting attorneys as well as
the judge, who piesided at the
trial. Kent is about 00 years of

WESLEYAN TO
ELECT PRESIDENT.
Macon, Ga.,May 24.—The most
important meeting ot the year
will lie held by the trustees of
Wesleyan Female College on May !
28, at which time the oflice of
president will be offered tosome
one. Many friends of the institu
tion, especially those living in
Macon, are anxious that the trus
tees present the first offer to Dr.
W. N. Ainsworth, now a Savan
nah pastor. That Dr. Ainsworth
will accept is firmly believed and
his Macon friends are working to
that end.
President. DuPont Guerry, who
has been at the head of Wesleyan
for several years, will resign in
order to take up his former law
practice again with Joseph 11.
Hall and Warren Roberts.
it is understood that a large
number of prominent educators
are anxious to get the office of
president, and some of them have
already written asking for the
place. Owing to the number of
men who are being considered it
can be said positively that Dr. j
Ainsworth will be offered the place
first of all. Dr. Ainsworth was
formerly pastor of the Mulberry
Street Methodist church of this!
city.
MRS. HELEN LONGSTREET,
FIRES AT MARAUDER.!
Gainesville, Ga. —Mav 20.
Mrs. Helen l). Logstreet, post
mistress of this place, shot five
times at an unknown marauder j
near her home on Green street ]
Tuesday night about 0 o’clock, |
Mrs. Longstreet’s mother, who |
lives with her at her pretty little'
home on North Green, was alone
Tuesday afternoon on the prem- 1
isos, when she noticed a strange j
man slinking about the place.
Mrs. Dortch was attracted by
his strange conduct and noticed J
that lie hung around till nearly!
dark, when Mrs. Longstreet went :
home from her oflice at the post*
oflio. Mrs. Longstreet also noticed
the trespasser and watched him.
Home time after dark she heard |
him prowling about in the lotj
near her residence and after cull
ing for explanations and receiv
ing none, she fired several shots in 1
the direction of the spot where
the tramp was last seen.
The police were notified and a
search was made but the disturber
was not located.
THE WOMAN’S HOME
COMPANION FOR JUNE.
Perhaps the most noticeable
feature of the June Woman’s
Home Companion is the wealth
of fiction. There are ten stories
in this issue—not heavy, f ps yclio
logical diagnoses ot world-worn
minds, but breezy stories of love ,
and fun that are suitable to the:
season. Among the writers in
■ this issue are Ed. Kverett Hale,
Maude Radford Warren, Cyprus
j Townsend Brady, Marion Hamil
ton Carter, Mary Hastings, Ernes
tine Wmcliell,Georgia Wood Pan
born, Frederick M. Smith, Marion ;
Hill, Annie Hamilton Donnell
and Rosa Naomi Scott.
The stones are illustrated by
prominent artists, among whom
are F. C. Yolin and John Cecil
Clay.
Naturally, much is said about :
weddings in this issue.
In addition to the lighter, joy
j ous preparations, there are some
j serious articles handling that
I most serious of subjects, marri
age. In a very clever way the
Companion demonstrates how
marriage should be a success if
conducted on a business hnsis aud
if the “Junior Partner” does her
I share. In connection with this,
; there is a particularly bright ar
ticle by Katharine Eggleston, j
pointing out some great dangers
in our present methods of teach- j
mg girls.
But the entrance into marriage J
is not neglected, and there are in j
: this issue stories of weddings, the
inexorable laws of fashion regard
ing them, and suggestions for
charming original and inexpen-
I sive weddings.
Everybody who is not being
married this month is planning
to go away for a vacation or to
; furnish a summer home. Anil for
! this part of the world there are
many practical vacation ideas —
ideas for veranda furniture, ideas
for bungalows, talks about the
ice-box, and a long list of frozen
dainties that will make the hot
test day a blessing. For the prac
tical women there is a particularly
valuable story of one woman’s
experience with bees.
The regular Fashion Depart-;
meat, Children’s Pages, Girls’
Pages and Puzzle Page are as com
plete as usu il. The Embroidery 1
Department is especially attrac-j
tive, with designs and ideas to
make fingers fly in the long sum- j
mer days.
