Governor Glenn on request of attorneys for Nathaniel Mitchell of Bertie county, having been sentenced to be hanged on the 22nd,foxJhe murder of his wife and af terwards burning her body, has grant el an additional respite to February 13th. This is in order to give oppor tunity for the condemned man's coun sel to lay further testimony! before the Governor. Defendant's counsel pleads with the Governor that he will appoint a committee of three experts to look into the case and to report as to Mitchell's sanity. ' ' I Governor Glenn said that while he feels sure the negro was possessed of sufficient intelligence to know; right from wrong, he will grant this respite ramer man to uuce away the me ot a man unadvisably.

Smith of Petersburg, Va., will be made this morning. It is expected that the case will go to the jury before noon. The evidence so far adduced seems to place the burden on the defendant Lillistcn, ' and nearly all onlookers are of the opinion that Clark was not directly a party to the alleged murder.

Before the American Fbrest Congress at Washington, January 17th, President I Geo. T. Winston of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, presented the following reasons for the establishment of the Appala chian Forest Reservation. . - 1. To do justice to the South and promote national sentiment. The United States own 60 forest re serves, of 80 million acres, . worth- 200 miHion dollars. Not one is in the South. The proposed Appalachian Reserve will contain four million acres and cost ten million dollars. Has not the time come for the South to receive from the national goverment some recognition besides taxation? 2. To complete and crown the sys tem of national forest reserves. - ! Every mountain system west of the Mississippi Riv r contains a forest re serve. The Appalachain Mountains, extending from Pennsylvania to Ala bama, ere from every point of view, the most important mountain system on the continent. 3. To preserve a health and ' pleas ure resort for 60,000,000 people. The, Appalachain Forest reserve is located in seven States with 13,000,000 inhabitants and is within 24 hours of 60,000,000 people. 4. . To preserve water power and maintain a steady stream flow. 'Over one miHion horse power yet re mains to be developed in this region, provided a steady stream flow can be maintained. To do this, the forests must be preserved. 5. To preserve' the mountain soil from denudation and the Piedmont soil from flood and destruction. .Over 200. square miles of soil is an nually washed into rivers, not to con sider the destruction of crops, houses and animals. Forest conservation will prevent increase of, and wish refores tation will diminish, this tremendous lOSS. : '' ; 6. To maintain a supply of wood for manufactures, 7. To maintain a perpetual lumber supply of building purposes, J. no railroads alone are consuming annually ovcrrme million acres of for ests. Without forest conservation the supply will soon be exhausted, 8. To preserve forever the head wa ters of many rivers. In the Appalachian Mountains rise vary many great rivefs flowing through very many great Slates, whose waters, for power, for commerce, for health, for water supply to cities, and for food fishes should be guarded with the ut most care from contamination 'and di- minuation, 9. For Flora and Fauna and Natural Bjauty, Before the ruthless hand of mammon and all consuming spirit of gain let the Appalachain Forest Keserve stand in violate forever, with its matchless flora and fauna, a modern Paradise of 'Nature, where weary and degenerate I mortals may go lor aH ages to rest on the bossom of Mother Earth and be- come again children of the real Golden Age.

Interesting j . fttatoment For : Newspaper : j Publishers. Two Pardons f C-"'od And (-"our Refuted. ; : Raleigh, Jan. 13. 'In the puzzli a case of Robert H. Lilliston, of Norfolk, va., and Harry Clark, of Missouri, twU fair fakirs tried for the killing of Chas. G. Smith, of Petersburg, Va. , in Ral eigh, at the close of fair week, the jury reached a verdict this . morning, Clark being acquitted, Lilliston being found guilty of murder in the second degree. - An appeal will be taken by Lilliston, and other cases are brought against Clark for an assault with dead ly weapon, which will be disposed of at once. ' The circumstances attending upon the killing of the man Smith wore of an uncertain nature and the closest at tention to all details has been given in the prbgress of the trial by the court, lawyers and spectators. Judge George W. Ward, in his charge to the jury, entered with great care into every shade of each detail, stating with de- Bniteness and clear cut lines the law in' the matter, at the same time empha sizing that sometimes disregarded feat ure of the law, the killing of an inno cent bystander, , when such assaults have been committed, the assailants showing malice or apparently free of malice. Contestants and all interest ed parties pronounce the judge's charge to be one of absolute fairness and great force. The verdict was not announced until the opening of the court this morning as no verdict could be ar rived at until nearly midnight., Beyond the hearing of the Harnett Supply Company case this closes the dockev for the present term, and Judge Ward will leave' the city today. He will sit next week at Goldsboro. .' Commissioner M. B. Varner of the Bureau of Labor and Printing gave out a statement concerning : newspapers in North Carolina that will be of inter est to publishers all over the State and also to the reading public. The com parison of the reports for 1901 and 1905 shows that there are now published in North Carolina a smaller number of newspapers than in 1901, yet the circu lation has increased 19 per' cent over that year. ' Governor Gltjnn issued pardons to Frank Hooper, a negro of Wayne coun ty, and states in this case: "Prisoner was convicted at October term of 1898 of larceny of twenty dollars and sen tenced to ten years in the penitentiary. Under our present law no such sen tence could be pronounced. The judge and solicitor now Congressman Pou in the strongest terms recommend this pardon. To me the sentence seems ex cessive. The defendant has been a trusty in the penitentiary for years and has a clean record. He is pardoned conditionally, provided he remain of good behavior ar.d is sober and indus trious." This case is one of interest, since the negro, who has been profici ent in a great many ways about the penitentiary, will be retained as a spec ial servant there by reason of his faith fulness in the di8chargejomany du ties.
