Especial to News and Observer.)
Wilson, N. c., June 2O.-When it was
given out last night that a jury had been
sworn in the Jones murder case, and that
the taking Of evidence would begin at the
opening court this morning the subject
became the all-absorbing one. Before the
hour Of opening court a large crowd began
to gather around the court house, and
when the hour Of opening was announced
by the ringing Of the court house bell
Was taken.
After the reading of the minutes of the
previous sitting by the court Solicitor
Daniels announced that counsel for the
State would not ask for a verdict Of muir
der in the first degree against Ward, but
would ask for a verdict of murder in the
second degree against the five defendants
Morgan, Allen, Rich, Whitley and Ward.
This move on the part of States counsel
did not seem to take defendants coun-
sci by surprise, as did d similar move made
on yesterday. 1t had become evident that
the reason in making the charge against
defendants first degree was to have a
right to order a special venire and nave
the jury drawn from the box instead OF
from talesman standing around the bar.
FIRST WITNESS CALLED.
Jas. w. Taylor, County Surveyor, was
the first witness called by the State. He
testified that he was a surveyor and had
been for thirty years. He testified fur
Their that he made a plot of the Frlal
building which showed the measurements
alleys and situations around said building
at Solicitor Daniels request. The witness
went over the map and explained to the
jury the different measurements made and
their relation to the Friar building where
the killing took place.
From a suggestion of Mr.. Spruill tina
defendants counsel were making remarks
IN the presence of the jury, the court rulec
that these remarks would not be allowed
whereupon Mr.. S. A. Woodard asked Hi
Honor if Mr.. Spruill would allow the de.
PENDANTS counsel to consult among them
selves. His Honor ruled that he wa!
managing that part of the proceedings anC
that counsel for the defense would be al
lowed to consult among themselves, bu
would not be allowed to make remarks s.
that they could be heard by the jury.

of what is called the two seed doc
trine, but never understood 1t until an
old preacher defined 1t in the noun
tains of North Georgia. We claimed
that satan was not a created being,
that he was co-existent with God. That
his children were at continued warfare
with the children of light The two
seeds being at eternal enmity. There
is nothing clearer than the proposition
that in the great eternity past there
was a time when no one existed but
the infinite God He inhabited eternity
alone. No voice of angel or arch angel
broke the stiffness of his habitation.
He alone is immortal in the sense OF
having no beginning.
But this God, infinite in power, saw
fit to create angels and confer on them
the attribute of immortality. He also
made man and breathed into his nos
trils the breath of life and he became
living soul, destined to live forever
unless God, who made him, should see
fit to annihilate him and sink him back
into nonenity. Has God ever made
anything to annihilate it? VIII not
anything He has made exist in some
form forever? We know that every
thing. to say the least is indestructi-
BILE by human power. Take any parti-
Gle of matter, it is indestructible so far
as our knowledge goes. You may
chdnge ltS form, out you cannot ue-
stroy its substance.
THE materialists claims that what
we call the soul Is but function of
the brain that when the brain ceases
to act. and the circulation of the blood
ceases forever, making the soul mere
material substance Has the soul any
thing in common with the physical
brain. Every material substance has
figure-weight must occupy space. The
soul has none of these. The soul may
have its seat in the brain. but the
brain is dependent for all its power
on the thinking soul that gives 1t life,
But has the soul personal identity
after death? Suppose you were in
China tonight and should find let
ter on the street you never saw be-
fore, written in a hand you never
saw before and yet in the letter your
mother is talking to you, in. language
unmistakable. You identify soul not
mere material substance. The body is
constantly changing, it is only the
soul that perpetuates identity. There
are no theories about the souls exis-
tence."

IMMORTALITY OF SOUL
Was the Theme of Rev. Christians
Sermon at Wesley

was the Theme of Rev. Christians
Sermon at Wesley.
At Wesley Monumental Church last
night Rev. II. c. Christian preached
to large congregation, taking as his
text Luke 16:19-31.
Last Sunday night discussed The
Dangers of Riches, said Mr.. Christian.
10 night 1 will call your attention to
the great doctrine of the Immortality
of the human soul as taught by this
passage Of Scripture. There is deep
impulse to Immortality in every HUI
man life. A longing for the consumma-
ton and perpetuity of our life and
being, AS we look out upon the vast
ness of Gods great universe and let
down the plummet into the mys-
terious depths of our own spir-
itual being and then measure
the breyity of our present life,
and the pitch darkness of death and
the grave. Then comes an indescrib-
able longing to know II we shall live
again. The only source of light in Gods
word. and we turn to the Bible ia
know if we are to live again. When
the fitful life is over.
This impulse TO eternity is uni
versal with the race. Livingston and
Stanley found it in the darkest jungles
OF Africa. or course, in the absolute
there is bit one immortal being. That
being is The self-existing. uncreated
eternal God. / have heard all my life
