FATHER PflRDONED BY GOVERNOR CANDLER, OF GEORGIA. Three Little Girls of T, H. Clark Write the Governor in His Behalf and Get His Release. A letter written by three little girls in Athens, Aged 12, 8 and 3 years, secured the full and uncondi tional pardon of their father, T. H. Clark, who wns serving a sentence in the penitentiary for larceny after trust. Governor Candler received the let ter several weeks ago, and the chief executive was greatly touched by the pitiful appeal of the little chil dren, who addressed him asDearMr. Governor, and told of how they were living with their grandfather in Ath ens since the conviction of their par ent, that their grandfather was par alyzed, that they wanted to go to school and had no clothes to wear and if they could get their father back they would be able to be in school and play with the other chil dren. The governor did not wait a single minute after reading the letter but hurried to the office of the prison commission where he asked for the record of Clark. As the letter was written from Clarke county the chief executive was under the im pression . that the man was con victed in that county. Inves tigation sO'evealed the - fact, how ever, that vvj man was sent for two years from Fulton county, and the governor made further inquiry. He found that Clark had been an agent for a sewing machine company, working on commission, and when he .elitled with the firm he was a few dollars short, and had no money to make gwcl his shortage. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest, and when iried he admitted that he had used the monoy but not with the intention .to defraud. He was found guilty and sentenced to two years. His wife and three chil dren were left alnstost destitute m. Atlanta and a few weeks later his wife died, leaving the children all alone. Their grandfather, who lived in Athens, eaiae for them., however, and since the death -of their mother they have lived with him. But the little ones were not satisfied. They had been told that the governor could release their father from the chaingang if he would and the oldest child wrote the governor a long letter detailing in a childish wa y al 1 the circumstances. "When I read that letter," said the governor Thursday, "tears came to my eyes. I pictured those young children up in Athens, without a mother, with a grandfather who was paralyzed and with their own father in the penitentiary. I believe that appeal from those children would have melted a heart of stone, and I determined if possible that I would pardon Clark. r On investigation I fouad that I could do so, and now he. is a free man." - Rain and tisvc bo effect Barnes trea with Karek ess Oil. silts the damp. keeps the lea tn er son ana pli able, dutches do not Dreasv ,?

The question of granting a fran chise to the Southern Bell Telephone ChKipany came up before a meeting of the Board of Aldermen Monday when it was decided to postpone the matter until the superintendent of the company should arrive here, which would only be a few days. The Board have been willing to grant the company a franchise for both a local and long distance ex change, provided the local exchange would be put in in two years from the date the franchise was granted, and with the further proviso that the long distance exchange should be put in within ninety days. This does not seem to please the phone people and in the meantime they will not come into the city, but will strike across the corporate limits in the Southern part of town-and pro ceed on to Raleigh. They promise to lay all wires on business streets under ground if permitted to enter the city and will allow the city the use of conduits and poles for the fire alarm system. The force of work men who are putting Up the poles from Wilmington here have reached the corporate limits of this city to day and have turned in the direction of Raleigh. The proposition to open up the vacant space in the cemetery front ing Elm street for burial lots was last night laid ' on the table and it was further agreed to table 4 the resolution to purchase the ad joining property of Mr. I. B. Fon ville, on which it was intended .to erect a lodge and a chapel. When further extension of the cemetery is needed it will be made in a southern direction. SEVERE STORM. Lightning Struck the Roman CathT olic Church. A very evere electric storm pass ted over this city about 3 o'clock Friday , morning which disturbed the restful lumbers of the majority of the popu lation. The lightning flashed almost (Continuously, with blinding bright ness, and the thunder roared with deafening ferocity. In the presence of .uch seemingly reckless playful ness of so powerful an instrument of destruction the nerves of strong men gave way while the goddess of sleep took her flight out of the window. Amcfng the damage reported ' is the partial destruction of the bell tower of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church. The large wooden cross which stood with outstretched arms on the pinacle of the tower was hurl ed to the ground some distance away. Families living in the vicinity dis tinctly heard the cracking sound when the church was struck and al so heard the dull thud when the cross struck the ground. - People were soon calling to each other to find out where the damage was done and to find out if any person was in jured. Not until the storm cleared away was it learned what had hap pened. A number of people have visited the church this morning. Splinters from the bell tower are scattered over the street. , The cross has been taken up and carried inside the church. - Dizzy? Then your liver Un't acting well.

Lecture at Clilcnso Uni versity, Favored tle Consolidation of All Lines In die United Stntes. Pletx. For Pooling'. Consolidation of all the railway lines of the country under the control of a single corporation, either private or public, was advanced by Vice Presi dent Paul Morton of the Santa Fe system the other evening as the ulti mate solution of the weighty trans portation problems that are at present vexing the business world. This, Mr. Morton declared, is the re sult toward which the large railway systems, driven by the legal restric tions on pooling, which work against their business interests, are now rap idly tending. He imparted these views on the sub ject in a lecture on "Some Railway Problems," delivered before the stu dents and faculty of the University of Chicago in Cobb hall, Chicago, says the New York Journal. Whether the ownership of the con solidated lines would remain in the hands of private individuals or be tak en over by the national government Mr. Morton expressed himself as un able to foretell, but that consolidation itself was bound " to come in the near future he stated as certain from pres-, ent conditions in the railway world and the underlying tendencies of mod ern industrial progress. . "The best minds of the business world are engaged today," said Mr. Morton, in working out plans for the further consolidation of industrial op erations under great corporations. The game tendency Is at work In the rail way world. "Under the present laws there Is a great deal of unlawful pooling done in secret, and it is remarkable that there Is not more. "I see only three solutions to the problems whfch are at present vexing the railroad world. These are: "First. Legalizing of legitimate pool ing. "Second. Unification of ownership of all the railway systems. "Third. Government ownership and management. "I have always been In favor of le gitimate pooling. Its absence, as I say. Is at present hastening the consolida tion of interests between the different railroads. Personally I view the eola tion of unity of ownership as much bet ter than legalized pooling, and I do not see any harm that would ensue from a consolidation of all the railway in terests of the country under a Binglt private management. "A. vast amount of money could be saved under such a system of control, and the railroad management would certainly give a part of this gain to the public In the shape of lower rates and better service." STRANGE BUT TRUE. Confederate History Which Develops Strange Coincidence. - . Capt. D. J. Broadhurst,' Golds boro's popular City Clerk, has just returned from Mt. Olive, where he went to attend the annual reunion of Company E, 20th N. C. Regiment of the Confederate Veterans. He re ports that the reunion was unusually pleasant this year, and also reports a circumstance in connection with the company's history which de serves notice as being somewhat pe culiar. At the reunion last year at Faison Mr. B. B. Carr was appointed company historian, which position he has filled admirably and has fur nished some interesting data. His sketch of the company , developed the fact that there were seven sets of brothers in the company and in the seven sets there were three brothers from each family. Out of the three brothers from each fireside who went to the front in defense . of the coun try's honor two of , each set were slain in battle or died from disease and only one returned. This was the case in every instance and is consid ered remarkable- This "interesting fact had never developed ; until the history of the - company was put to gether.
