Of this number about three-fourths were relea under paroles and the rest were given full pardons or had their j tances commuted. These Agu were compiled this morning ftoa; records 1? the office of lt. M. Town, Secretary of State. With nearly 1,200 to his credit Governor Blease seems to ht\-' beaten the mark he set ror himsi At the annual conference of Gov nora in Richmond, Va., in the fall 1912 Goveruo" Blease, in boast!, of his pardon record, which was over 400, said that he hoped to make t number 800 by the end of his seco term. With a little less than a yea of that second term gone the Go? ernor's pardoning record has reach nearly 1,200. There is much speculation beinir Indulged in as to the effect the par doning record is going to have >i the Governor's race for the Unit- I States Senate. He stated after re-election in 1912 that he v a proud of Iiis pardon record and tl he considered the i>eople had en doned it by re-electing him o\ . former Chief Justice Ira B. Jon Since that time 600 more prison* have been freed and there is ev? indication that the pardoning record will again bc one of the main issn. In the campaign for the Unit States Sonate this summer.

There are on 186 prisoners loft in the penitential of whom just 150 are men. The are in addition some 5 7 prisone employed on the State farms, but I is stated that this is much less than the number necessary to work tl farms and operations will have to I. greatly curtailed. Should the Go ernor carry out his intention to d' populate the penitentiary there w be no prisoners left to work on tl" State farms.

They are not retained in the soil, so that the rains leach them out and the crop is cheated out of its most essential element of plant food. The safest and best preventive against leaching is the MORRIS BRANDS. They are ammoniated solely and entirely with high grade packing house tankage and blood and are so guaranteed on e ery bag. As one of our customers says of them: As for shed tiing, your goods prevent it; aa they do their beat work after fha nitrogen in other fertilizers has gone.99 The difference in cost is so little, and the difference in yield so great that the rich only can afford NOT to use them. The MORRIS BRANDS are conceded by all who have used them to be the cheap est fertilizers on the market. You can exercise true economy only by insisting on getting thain regardless of price.
