the doubt as to l rank s guilt that existed in the mind of .Judge lioan,

Jn any event the performance of my duty under the
constitution Is a matter of my conscience. The responsibil
ity rests where the power is reposed. Judge Koan, with that
awful sense of responsibility which probably came over him
as he thought of that judge before whom he would shortly
appeal, calls to nie from another world to request that 1 do
that which he should have done,
i "I can endure misconstruction, abuse and condemna-
i tion, but I cannot stand the constant companionship of an
; accusing conscience w hich would remind me in every
thought that 1 as governor of Georgia failed to do what 1
thought to be right.
"There is a territory 'beyond a reasonable doubt and
absolute certainty' for which the law provides in allowing
life imprisonment instead of execution. This case has been
marked by doubt. The trial judge doubted. Two judges of
the state supreme court doubted. Two judges of the United
States supreme court doubted. One of the three prison com
juissioners doubted.

case 1 am sustaining the jury, the judge and the appellate

which is placed upon me by the state constitution."

Business Men Fail
Men fail in business because they do not know the pame.
They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business.
The reason why so many would-be fanners fail is because they
know little or nothing of the science of fanning. They think
anybody can farm and then are surprised to find that their
crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who
always has bad luck with his crops, is the man who farms by
guess and trusts to luck. If he were in the mercantile business
he would be in the hands of a receiver within a year. He is
a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a
living out of the land if he only plows and sows the seed.
An Agricultural Education
The first thing a young man who intends to go into busi
ness should do is to take a course in a business college. Here
he can become familiar with the first principles of business,
without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects
to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college,
if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a
two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by
taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil
Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very
slight cost, and the best thing about it, he does not have to
leave the farm or his work.
He can choose from the following courses:
Soil Improvement Course Cereal Culture Course
Horticultural Course Dry Fanning Course
Small Farming Course Farm Engineering Course
Soil Tillage Course
Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and
garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems.
Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You
will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in the
fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.
Send for our catalog Number 3. It will not cost you a cent.
