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 ag«* 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. NEGRO FIREMAN GETS WHIPPING. Augusta, Ga., May 20.—There! : have been acts of violence on the! ! Georgia railroad. Firemen on j j freight trains have been beaten I | and int imidated. Firemen on mail !

The road lias! . I ! also instructed its attorneys, in i instances where inter-state freight - has been interfered with, to j j proceed in the federal courts : against those responsible. At Thotnsom tonight a negro j j fireman, in response to a demon- I stratum by an angry crowd, left j his engine. The mayor there ; ; promises protection for future | trains. At Deering last night, i William Parker, a negro fireman, was called from his engine by’ a number of white men, taken be . bind a store and severely beaten. : As to the latter ca3e the railroad has offered SSOO reward for proof to convict the guilty parties.
