GOV. JOSEPH M. BROWN MAKES
NEW FULE WHICH MUST BE
FOLLOWED,
PARDONS TAKE MUCH TIME
Notice of Application for Pardon Must
.. Be Posted .on, Bulletin Board.of
County Court House.
la 3 N-o 5P Rl “TAflanta(
- Hereafterwhen--any convict 4n' thé
Georgia penitentiary wants a pardon
he will be required to have posted
on the bulletin board at the court
house in the county in which he was
convicted, thirty days in advance of
his application to’ the prison commis
sion, notice of: the fact that such ap
plcation is to-be made. g -
This is a new ruling” which Gover
nor Brown has decided upon concur
rently with entering the executive of
fice, and the purpose of it is to give
notite to any. persons who may de
sire “to oppose such application and
present the other side of the case.
Possibly there has not been a sin
gle governor who has not granted ex
ecutive clemency in certain cases in
which he would not have done so, if
he had been in possession of all the
facts in"the case, and frequently the
failure to get them in such cases is
due to the fact that those who might
oppose the application are not aware
that it is being considered.
“This requirement,” Governor
Brown said, ‘“will impose no undue
hardship upon any applicant for ex
ecutive clemency, if he is worthy of
it. Such a notice can be placed on
the court house bulletin board with
out expense, and it will give notice
to. any one concerned who -may de
site to be’heard and to present the
other side of the case. In that way
only can all the facts be brought out.
land a just determination of a case
'be reached.”
. Governor Brown also stated that he
did not consider the pardon power
was granted for the purpose merely
of réviewing the evidence presented
to the courts and their action upon
-it; that in his opinion pardons should
only be granted in cases in connec
tion with which new and favorable
evidence was presented to the exec
utive, which the jury could not have
heard, or in case of certain develop
ments subsequent to trial and con
viction.
The governor is also of the opinion
that herctofore the executive has
been required to give too much time
to the <eonsideration of pardon mat
ters, taking up the time of the office
which should be given to other im
portant subjects in which the people
of the state are interested.
In addition to requiring the posting
of a 30 days’ notice at the court
house, he will endeavor to arrange
with the prison commission to devote
two days each month to the consider
ation of applications for executive
clemency: and immediately following
he will give two days to the work and‘
will not attend to pardon or parole
matters at.any other time,
In this way Governor Qr’own be
lieves the pardon business™ can be
greatly expedited, and sufficient time
will thereby be given it to insure jus
tice in every case brought to the at
tention of the commission and the ex
ecutive.
Commission Needs Funds.
. The railroad commission will at the
June. session of the legislature ask an
appropriation of SIO,OOO per annum
to be used in making expert apprais
als of the property and expert audits
of the earnings of public service cor
porations under its jurisdiction, when
increases or reductions in rates are
asked, or stock and bon¢ issues are
submitted for approval.
‘The commission - will stronglx urge
the growing importance of and the
absolute necessity for such apprais
als and audits, in order that it may
discharge its duties with exactness
In very few cases can an entire
body of reasonable and just rates be
prescribed without definite informa
tion. First, as to the fair value of
the property devoted to the public
use; and
_ Second, as to the gross earnings,
operating expenses and net earnings,
under the rates against which com
plaint is made.
Actual appraisals and audits made
by experts of the commission’s solu
tion and working only under its direc
tion—complete, non-partisan and by
compeient men—are the only means
of securing accurate and necessary
information.
The same information is needed on
application for stock and bond ap
provals. Without such, as is now the
case, the commission must accept the
ex parte estimates furnished by ef
gineers -in the employ of the appli-|
Many Candidates.
When the legislature came to At
lanta to inaugurate Governor Brown
it left a trail of candidates for state
house offices and other political jobs
somewhat over a mile long, and more
are daily falling in line.
Aside from the offices of comptrol
ler general, state ireavurer, secretary
of state and judgeships of the appel
late and supreme court, in which the
incumbents will have but little oppo
sition for re-election, the state house
offices promise a warm campaign.

GEORGIA NEWS NOTES.
Quitman.—Estimates vary as to the
total amount of cotton remaining un
picked in the rßooks county fields and
picked in the Brooks county fields and
Barney section it is said nearly fifty
bales of cotton are still in the fields;
and in other places fields that would
yield nearly a bale to the acre have
not been picked at all. It is certain
there has been a considerable loss
from this source, due partly to the
bad weather during the picking sea
son and partly to the scarcity of reli
able farm labor. The problem of la
bor was the supreme one with farm
ers in this section.
Waycross.—Sol. J. W. Bennett, who
is associate counsel for Dr. W. J.
McNaughton, the Swainsbore physi
cian now in jail at Savannah, under
sentence of death for the murder of
Fred Flanders, says that Doctor Mec-
Naughton is far from being a hanged
man. “Doctor McNaughton is not
guilty of murder,”-said Colonel Ben
nett. “The new evidence which .we
have is of considerable importance,
and under all the circumstances that
will come out in the application for
a mew trial, we believe that it will
be granted and our client cleared.
Rome.—Proposed interurban trolley,
line known as Chattanooga-Rome-At
known as the Chattanoofa-Rome-At
lanta, has passed beyond the stage of
speculation, and developments are fol
lowing rapidly. The incorporators or
the road will apply next week to the
commissioners of the city of Chatta
nooga for a franchise, Affairs have
already progressed far enough to in
sure the granting of the permit to use
the city's streets. There was some
doubt as to whether or ont the com
mission would be willing to grant the
franchise because of the number of
car tracks on certain business
streets.
~ Savannah.—There seems to be a
' possibility that Savannah will again
'be controlled by the Sunday “biue
law,” as the result of a resolution
made by city council following a peti
tion from a number of ‘local dealers,
requesting the enforcement of the or
dinance governin gthe sale of goods
on Sunday. Council instructed the
police to enforce the law; but it was
discovered that the line is so closely
drawn that it is a hard proposition.
The ordinance permits the sale of
drugs, cigars, newspapers and soda
‘'water, but forbids the sale of fruits.
Waycross.—The county commission
ers of Ware have decided to put hard
surfaces on all highways throughout
the county, having completed the prep
aration of preparing routes for the
various roads in the county. The
foundation for a splendid System has
been nished, all grading, stumpage,
bridge work and-other details getting
careful attention, Sand-clay material
is being used on the road northwest
of Waycross toward the Coffee county
line, and will be placed on the Jack
sonville road shortly.
. Lexington.—The cotton markets of
Oglethorpe county are very busy as
a result of the 10-cent mark that cot
ton reached recently, @8 a number
were holding for this price and very.

of Sweden, who was over here on a
visit. There is a big Swedish employ

street, and the sign is spelled in Swed
ish fashion:
‘Helpj wanted.’
“I asked Neilsen what in the world
that extra ‘)’ was doing at the end of
the word, especially as, even in Swed
ish, it is not pronounced.
“‘Oh, it is just there, I supose,
said Neilsen.
“‘But now that you don’t pronounce
the letter why don’t you people drop
it altogether? It looks so silly to have
a letter there you don’t pronounce.’
“Well,’ said Neilsen, ‘I suppose we
keep it there for the same reason
you hang on to the “p” in pneu
monia.’ ”—New York Herald. .
