MURDER STOPS DOMINO CAME Jefferson Watson Is AssaSsinated.
 ,-.c E SHOT FROM A WINDOW Players Blow Out Lamp Fearing
 Second Bullet. The Police Last Night Arrested Alfred Fraser. . Negro and Charge. Him With the Murder of

While playing dominoes with several other negroes in the old road house on the Washington Ferry road, Jefferson Watson was shot to death early Sun day morning. The bullet that killed the man. was fired by person stand ing outside the house. Whether 1t was intended for Watson or not. those who were present say they do not know. Al they say. is that while they were playing. bullet was dred through the window. which struck Watson in the head. He bent over tho table, the witnesses say, falling for ward and his arms dropped to his sides, a moment later he slipped to the floor.
 The negroes were so surprised by the murder and were so scared, a bullet might follow the first, for one of them, they put the light and dropped to the floor themselves beside the dead man. After while they 'phoned to the police. but the search Sunday morning was fruitless.
 Continuing the search the police last night were led to suspect Albert Fras. CT, a negro. to be the guilty person and Chief Taylor. Captain Smith and 1Ofi- cers Hammond and Marshall went out to hunt for him. They found Fraser in a hodse near the scene of the kill ing and brought him to the police sta ton, When examined Fraser denied all knowledge of the killing.

SPRY AT 6a
Keeps Well and Active on Postum.

Postum does one good because it is made of clean hard wheat and contains no drug or other harmful substance.
 My husband always had his coffee twice a day-thought he could not do without IT," writes New York wo- man. About twelve years ago he be- gan to have bad spells.
 His head felt queer, was dizzy and sick at his stomach. The doctor would came, and prescribe for billiousness but medicines gave no permanent re- lief.
 Tn a short time the same old spells would return. This went on for years, until we dreaded these spells and fear ed he would become an invalid
 "A friend to whom we told this ex- perience said it was coffee. He had been the same way and stopped drink ing coffee and got we'll by change to well-made Postum.
 He told us to be sure to make IL right, according to directions on pack age. Now we like Postum as well as coffee, and I can't remember when my husband has had a sick day.
 "Those bad spells are thing of the past. He Is sixtyfour. works every day and Is as spry as boy. We have been using Postum a year and a half and are glad to have delicious drink which does not injure us as coffee did"

awakening" Mr.. Way is thorough
'ly alive to his work, to its import
ance, and to the responsibility attach
ed to it. He discussed a number OF
points some Of which were, 1.-The
organized Sunday School move
ment," "Interest and efficiency in
Bible study" "securing methods
of management and teaching, =" "Per-
fecting Sunday School literature and
equipment,'' "Of linking the home
to the church, "Increasing at
tendance on all church service, - "Of
extending the benefits of the Sunday
School to every man, woman and
child" "Of securing the conversion
Of schools and developing them in
Christian service." Of some Of the
methods towards accomplishing good
results along these lines he mentioned
the cradle roll, the home department.,
grading, teacher training, Internation-
al Bible reading department, statls-
tics, home visitation. And still fur
ther along this line he talked and it
was indeed deeply instructive. The
spirituality Of the man impreSses ev-
ervone with what he says, and he has
complete control over his listeners.
Mr.. Way was followed by Miss
Grace ". Vandiver. State superln-
tendent Of the elementary department.
Miss Vandiver is one Of the best
workers in the Sunday School depart
ment, having been teacher Of elo-
cution in one Of the colleges in the
State, and being naturally gifted IN
holding the attention Of her hearers
she has much advantage in presenting
her themes. At the morning service
she discussed "The men and women
of the future, what shall they be?'

gram to discuss "What the church
owes to the Sunday School," but not
being present, Rev. Edward Fulen-
wider was called upon, and although
unexpected to him, he made exceed
ingly appropriate remarks and sug-
gestions on this subject, stating that
to him the church and the Sunday
School were one.
Mr.. James F. Epting gave the re-
port Of the State convention, and al
though exceedingly brief, it was to the
point and was. one Of the most en-
joyable talks Of the morning.
At the close Of the morning service
everybody was invited to repair to the
grove on the side Of the church, where
"a table 80 feet long had been erected,
which was almost groaning' under
the weight Of good things prepared
by the gracious ladies Of the Smyrna
congregation and others in the imme-
diate neighborhood.
At two O'Clock Dr--Jones called the
people into the church and devotional
exercises were conducted by him. Miss

out many helpful suggestions. This
was followed by a discussion Of

niment. In the afternoon Miss Green
also delighted the congregation with
another solo, Zone sweetly solemn
thought.
After the devotional exercises were
tover DR.. E. c. Jones took the chair
and presided with much ease over the
entire deliberations Of the day. Ev-
ervone spoke in high words Of praise
Of the manner in which DR.. Jones con-
Quoted the convention.
Mr.. John H. Wicker, the efficient
secretary Of the county convention
was present. and under his manage
ment the enrolment and organization
only consumed a short while. although
this being an important part Of the
work. sufficient time had to be Gwen
to this routine business. In this con-
pection is given the list Of delegates
who responded to roll call the first
dav. Others doubtless came in on
Thursday. Rev. Mr.. Sheely led in
PRAYER and the address Of welcome
was made by Miss Chappell in a few
we'll chosen words, and in such a sin
cere manner that everyone felt the
words came from the heart. Dr. Jones
responded to this welcome.
