September 29, 1903. “LET MY PAPA CUM HOME: I WOD ALWAYS LOVE YOU.” THERE is a Scrawled and misspelled letter lying in Governor Terrell s desk this morning and In the letter is the story of a little girl s grief. She writes, "Let my papa come home and 1 will always love you." The words are partly "printed" and partly written and seem to have cost the ”ttle fingers that fashioned them a great deal of labor. But that mattered not. for the child hopes for a pardon for her father, a conv <. serving a lifetime sentence for murder. The writer of this pathetic <to r teas little Grader Hester, of Carroll county and her father was one of the band <f men who, a number of years ago, -hot down an old negro. His name is Lant Hester and it was through his testimony that the other members of the band were convicted. 'lTtere have been several efforts to se cure a pardon for Hester on the ground that he was not directly concerned in the killing; that he confessed and (leaded guilt;. ; that tho killing was not premed itated assassination, and that his wife and children need the protection and aid of 11 husband and father. Governor Terr.-ll is interested in the case since receiving the little girls hi ter and has written her that he will ask the prison . ommission to give the matter spe< lai att: ntlon and that as soon as a report Is made to him he will take the matter up, "though,” he wrote, ' he can not pardon criminals merely because lit tle girls love and miss them." This is the child's letter, her spelling being copied verbatim: "Sept, the 29, 1903, Whitesburg, Ga Here Govenor: I am a rlton to you to beg voa to plese let my dcro popa cum home’ to me Will y<»u plt-se for the sake a pore little girl have, pltty on me.

REFUSED PAY HE DIDN’T EARN Alabama Legislator Aston ished Officials by His Un usual Action. Montgomery, Ala., October 4.—(Spe cial.)—A. T. London, one of the leading representatives from Jefferson county in the legislature, which adjourned at mid night last night, has attracted consid erable attention to himself by refusing to accept pay fur but one day, his actual service in the house, during the last half of the session. "Please kindly change the amount of this warrant from $132 to $4." said Mr. London to State Auditor Sowell, when he handed the warrant for his per diem.. "Why?” asked the auditor. "I have been absent all during the ses sion except today," said Mr. London. The state auditor attempted to argue witli Mr. London that he was entitled to bis per diem, notwithstanding his ab sence. having obtained leave of absence of the house, but Mr. London was ob durate. 1 am not entitled to pay for service not p'-rformed,” he replied, "and I shall not accept it." The auditor changed the warrant from $132 to $4, and handed it to Mr. London, wiio went across the hall and collected the smaller amount, feeling that his conscience was at ease If his pocket was lighter by SI2B. Mr. London is one of the ablest law yers of Jefferson . ounty. and is said to be worth anywhere between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO. Before the recess he had made quite a reputation by his boldness and aggressiveness and by his knowledge of parliamentary law. His aggressiveness and independence of the leaders attract ed attention to him as f possible candi date for governor, and lie had b-cn fre quently mentioned in connection with tire democratic nomination. During the recess Mr. London got in bad health and was threatened will) nervous prostration. He was adtised b) siejan to go off to the remain there for a month or six weeks. When tlte bill creating the office of slate bunk examiner was threatened with defeat, a measure in which lie was great ll interested, Mr. Ijondon, over the pro tests of his physician, left the springs and came to Montgomery on the last day and was present during the closing hours of the legislature. lie had the pleasure of seeing the bill pass finally, but after almost a death struggle, lasting several days, without opposition or without dissenting vote, SUNDAY BASEBALL IS KILLED.

TROOPS MANEUVERING IN KENTUCKY. West Point, Ky., September 28.—The troops were astir early, first call being Sounded at 4:30 o’clock tills morning. At roll call the line officers made a rigid in spection of each man's cartridge belt to make sure that no ball cartridges had crept in among the blank ones already I ui-'l. Then the commandi rs, having re ceived their instructions and breakfast having been eaten, 2.400 of the regular soldiers: divided into bodies. Equal ; strength went swinging out across the i country in the crisp, invigorating air to begin their maneuvers. After a day spent in maneuvering among the hills, the first of the mimio batties ended with an apparent ad vantage In favor of tho "brown" army. The conditions prevailing were those gov erning the proper employment of advance and rear guard by the armies. | Tit'' problem for the day, as announced | by Colonel Wagner, chief umpire, was as : follows: The blue army, having been de i seated by the brown army, fell back on ■ Louisville, its base point. Here it se cured heavy reinforcements and turned on the brown army, which began to retreat toward its base at Nashville. The ad vance guard of the blue army was ex pected to cripple tin* rear guard of the brown. The actual clashes were not numerous, being largely confined to the brushes be tween flankers. Colonel Morton had swiftly dispos’d of his brown cavalrymen <■: a point re he- was able to threaten tlte blue column, commanded by <'olom 1 W. 'i’.

Tlte brown horsemen took advantage of tlte ground so well that they were able to threaten either of the blue columns with a superior force JUd yet maintain a superior defensive position.’ Tlte maneuv ers ended late in the afternoon with trivial losses m "killed'' and captured on either side. The chief incident of tlte day was the capture of Captain Mitchell, of the signal corps, and a small detachment of his mon by a troop of the Seventh cavalry. Playing War Game in Kentucky. Camp Young. West I’olnt, Ky., Octo ber 2.—The lateness of the arrival of portions of several of the militia regi ments caused considerable modification of today's programme after the troops had taken the field. Instead of spending the whole day in advance guard move ments, as intended at the start, it was decided to rvlurn after five Indiana bat talions and tlte greater part of the Third brigade, composed of Michigan troops, bad been given a brief period of work, the Indiana troops in extended order and the Michigan infantry in close order. Tho officers of the state troops spent a portion of the afternoon inspecting the intrenchnteiHs thrown up by the regular troops on Thursday. Tlte engineer officers in charge of the work had provided spec imens of the light earthworks known to modern warfarq. The commissary offi cers of the militia also had a period of in struction from two regular officers on “methods of administration in the sub sistence department." A lecture for all officers on "The Subsistence of Armies" was given this evening. The Michigan brigade spent a strenuous afternoon at skirmish drill. The chief business of the day was Hie discussion of the results of the maneu vers of Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day. Colonel Arthur Wagner, chief um pire, and the writer of many standard works on tactics, presented a detailed critical report covering every phase of the three movements, but no decision was an nounced as to tliu points scored. Th-'e were numerous "contests" hinging on tlte rules of the game, the "Blues," for instance, claiming that in Wednes day's attack on their outpost, the volume of their lire was sufficient to put a "Brown" battalion of infantry and dis mounted cavalry out of action, while the "Browns" persisted in their attack and captured a pollion of the "Blue” left center. The stubbornness of the pawns In the game of war in refusing to "die" or stay "dead" is responsible for much of the trouble of the umpires. All the militia regiments mounted guard for the first time this evening, and henceforth there will be a 'tightening of the bonds of discipline. Eight troops of the Seventh cavalry and two troops each of the Second and Fourth cavalry mat 'lied out to the open country and bi•> oua ck'.■' 7 miles from the. established camp, to gr-t an early start for the maneuvers tomorrow.

ATLANTA DEEPLY STIRRED ST DETAILS OF CRIME The negro murderer who drove a dag ger Into the heart of Foliceman ’.lans C. Drasbaclt Saturday night is still at large. Although four or live arrests ha\ b'-'.-n made, the police are now cer tain that the man they want, has not been caught. There are some good clews, however, to work upon, and it is believed file assassin will be behind the bars before many more hours have come and gone. No more foul murder was ever com mitted in the city than that which took tlte life of Officer Drasbaclt. The police man was on duty in full uniform. He attested a negro for violating the law.

'IF PRACTICALLY DONE SUBSOILING WILL PAY Editor Constitution: Just for a. “start -1 er” it is next to an impossibility to do I a practical job of subsoiling the old way. ■ We mean by the old way. to turn the soil witli one team and follow in the same furrow with another team. Yes, it is next to an impossibility. It is often the case that a farmer will trv to subsoil when the soil Is in condi tion to turn, but th" subsoil, clay, or hard pan. as you may call it. is too dry and hard to be pulled witli an ordinary team and an ordinary ~p!ow will not penetrate it. We have seen this witK our own eyes and know whereof we speak. The depth with plows is more overrat' d than anything else on the farm, a large class of farmers will tell yon that they are plowing 6 and 8 inches deep, when if you will put Hie rule to it yon will y e that they are not averaging 4 inches deep Just so in subsoiling. Win-re tin • ' tempt to do If. They will, to save the cost of a good subsoil plow, use a scooter or some other makeshift, which bos not the proper S"t. and iias not the weight to hold it down. With this kind of a plow set on the point tfiey will p ill their team hard and tell you that they are yjbsoil ing "just as deep as their team <’nn p ill it." If tlte hard pan Is very dry if you will put the rule to it yon will see they .ire subsoiling I to 2 Inches and often not more than one-half inch deep. When tile hard pan is very dry to split it is next to splitting .a brick. To make any success at tills kind of subsoiling it is worse than folly to attempt it witli a Scooter or an i inferior subsoil plow. For subsoiling to pay the hard pan must be broken through. In a recent issue of a noted agricultural journal the editor says: "Any good plow will do to subsoil with. A steel scooter long and sharp with an ax temper is as good as any." There may be some farmers who will believe this, but 1 will say just here, a good subsoil plow that is properly con structed, with tho proper set, strength and weight is as far superior to a scooter for a subsoil plow as a dirk is to a dog knife in a bull fight. These two troubles: the hard subsoil or hard pan and trying to subsoil with a scooter or an inf' riot subsoil plow have caused many a farmer to say "subsoiling does not pay.” These troubles are not all that the farmer has to contend with to subsoil Hie old way. Alter a Wet spell tho soil 1 will first get dry enough to plow, but l the subsoil will be too wet. and to sub- I soil it too wet is much worse than not Ito subsoil it at all. We have seen this ■ tested; it won't do. Another trouble in subsoiling lite old way Ls it tikes two I teams to do the work and.it takes a long 1 time to do a little job. Now you <an seo i that it is next to an impossibility to do 1 a practical job of subsoiling the old way. | Mr. Editor, the above difficulties may i have caused you to say that subsoiling ! does not pay. Deep turning when the i soil is shallow throws too much clay on ■ top. This has been tested; it Won't do. I Shallow turning and deep subsoiling ' when the land is in condition and not I wet will do. It will keep land from wash -1 Ing and losing the fertility it. has. It | will let in the sunshine and air and deep i en the freeze, will increase the J production of the •nd. If you hear a farmer say That deep plowing dees not pay. You tell him I will bet He plowed his land too wet Now let us look at it and consider it i In a practical way, and you will see that I subsoiling, when practically done, Is very 1 simple and easy, and done in less time than it will take to turn land broadcast without subsoiling it. The mod" for doing this subsoiling is known as Mallory's mode for preparin'" land. The Constitution, and all the lead ing papers of t his er.nn’j lute,, pu.blish ' ed this mode and it is pretty well known i By this mode the subsoiling is done I only when tlte subsoil is in condition. If j it is too hard you have time to wait for it to rain and get soft, if it is too wet I you have time to wait for it to get dry. | By Hits mode all winter rains are held on the land, and each row gets its own share. It will absolutely keep land from washing. By this mode all turning and subsoiling is done with one team. In short, this mode is the only "successful. practical, cheap and easy way to subsoil. ! '. i hold wittier ruins and to keep land i from washing." We are getting scores of letters from I farmers all over the country who state I that by this mode they arc keeping their i land fiom washing and are getting bet- I ter results from their land, some claim an increcs il yield of 50 per cent; others | claim to have, doubled the yield. : if subsoiling practically done does not i pay farmers, then these farmers are sad i ly mistaken.
