Having served One Yrar of Two-Year Sentence, Is Given Release. Raleigh, Sept. 22.—Fu1l pardon for Harvey H. Young. Rowan oonftty young man who has served nearly a | year of his two yeans on the roads for burning a barn, was ordered to day by Governor McLean. I Young, who comes of a good Rowan family, is the beneiciary of a dend judge's letter. The late Judge Benjamin F. Long, who tried and sentenced him, saw the weakness of the case nud gave the prisoner a rather Might sentence. Young, who earried water and did other work of a trusty oh the road between Mocks ville and Salisbury, interested many residents in his case. There is the greatest doubt about, bis guilt. Gov ernor McLean in part says: "Honorable B. F. Long, now de ceased, in a letter to the governor's office, states that tbe evidence in this case was entirely circumstantial and that from facts that hnu arisen since the trial clemency on the part of the ’ executive would be approved by him. The jurors who tried the ease have unanimously requested elemenpy ior the prisoner, as have many of the officials nnd n thousand or more citizens of Rowan county. "This very unusual request for' clemency is based on the fact that several barn burnings occurred in the neighborhood and especially be cause another citizen of Rowan coun ty later confessed to having burned two barns after this date and was adjudged' insane nnd sent to the state asylum for. tbe insane for the second time for this same offense. I am reliably informed that no burn ings of this nature have occurred in this section since the last named party jvae removed from the com munity. “It appears also- that the principal evidence against Young connecting him with the crime was the testi mony of a state witness, giving an automobile number corresponding with Young's, alleging that he re membered this number by merely see ing it by the roadside on one occas ion), without pretending to know the ear of Young, and at the same time admitting that he did not know his own j-iutomobile number. “In view of the peculiar circum stances surrounding this case, and especially the fact that the burnings continued after this prisoner’s re moval from the community and ceased immediately upon the re moval of another from it, and the nature of tiie evidence in the case. I have this day pardoned the prison er for the remainder of bis tem." SPEEDY TRIALS FOR THE ASHEVILLE MOB LEADERS All But Three of Alleged Twenty Leaders Held in Jail in Default of Bonds. .

The announcement followed an of- ' fieial visit of the official to the to bacco test farm of the department of ’ agriculture at Oxford, made by Mr. Graham in company with F. E.

Moss, in charge of the Ox ford farm, has made a very important discovery," said Commissioner Gra ham, “in t’aat he has found that to bacco grown with muriate of potash i ; makes just as good a yield as that - grown with sulphate of potdsh. I consider this a very important dis- j covery. as for years it was thought that sulphate of potash produced a much better product. "It will be necessary, however,” con tinued Mr. Graham, “to have tha burning process tested out before defi- | nite conclusions or recommendations i can be made. In order that- there : may be a full discussion of this prob- i lem, I shall call a meeting of farm- j ers, fertilizer people, and tobacco man- • ufacturens and ask them to consider ■ it from all standpoints in an effort to reach such conclusions as may be of benefit to all concerned. The best * interests of the tobacco farmers mu«ti| be the first point tot be taken into consideration in this matter.” The question appeared to interest | Mr. Graham extremely, and he indi cated that as soon as the water could be fully investigated and after eon- if ferences with experts, he will make ! whatever recommendations Seem prop- ’ er. i Though the barber shop private?', shaving mug is almost gone, many old- ;, time shops still have many old iudi- i victual cups that are no longer in use, 1 some of them belonging to estates and a unclaimed by their owners.
