SEVERAL SERVICES
 AT OHIO STREET
Rev. NermiliiOn, the Evangelist, Will Conduct Several Services Today His Sermon Last Night.

Rev. Nermillion began his service at the Ohio street Baptist church last night by requesting the people to pray for the success of the meetings of to- day His lesson was the story of the rich man and Lazarus
 The speaker showed that this poor beggar lay at this rich mans gate suffering from loathsome disease, that he very likely received nourish- ment from this rich mans servants till he died, and that, if he was bur jed at all, it was very humble. On the other hand he showed that this rich man had many friends that ne fared far more sumptuously than the r-ch men of our western country. Tn these two ways the two men ended their lives here on earth.
 Then he reversed the canvas and showed the picture painted of them after death. On the one hand Taz- arus, the poor beggar, who had lived among the dogs while here on earth is seen in Abraham's bosom, enjoying the many blessings of heaven itself. He had left world of homeless pov- erty and afflictions to take up home for eternity with the rich old patriot Abraham. On the other hand the rich man is seen in torment, being tor mented by a guilty conscience and a memory which is constantly remind ing him of the many sinful things he dsd while on earth. There gathered about him are the friends which can exist only in he'll. He maintained that this man did not go to torment because he had mistreated Lazarus, for very likely he had treated Laza- rus kindly; he went there because he had not repented of his sins while here on earth; he had spent his time in having a good time just like many of us in this day Rev. Vermillion urged those in his congregation not to go on like this rich man and neg feet the most important thing con- cernln2 their own souls. When the invitation was given one man came forward anXiously asking an interest m the prayers and several others seemed much concerned in the mat ter.
 Services were announced for this at II o'clock. Mems meeting for 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon and services at 7:3O D. m. Everybody in vited. The ordinance of baptism will be administered after services.

 1900 ACRES IN RICE
Largest Cotton Planter in this Section to Enter the Rice Growing Business Next Year ss,.~~~~+.e,.

John AlxGracic. who has more than seven t}Dusand acres of 4fine cotton land inFcultivation in this county and
 who is the largest individual cotton
 planter in this section of the conn try. will plant about LOO acres in rice next year and is highly pleased with the successful experiments made in this country, during this year by rice growers. He was in the city Saturday and stated that fifteen hun dred acres of his extensive holdings are naturally adapted for rice produr- tion, as the land>i is black land similar to that upon which large rice crops have been made in this county His year. The land is not good for cottoa raising, MT. Oracle states, as the 5f- teen hundred acres only yielded 200 bales of cotton this year. Should tie experiments of MT. Oracle the com Ing season prove successful he will probably enlarge the rice farm two years hence. Mr. Oracle believes there is 2 great future in rice grnw- ing in this state and has givevn the subject much study in the past few months. He reports that he has ginn- ed more than a thousand bales of cot- ton on his place already this year. but declares that his crop vii fall short of last years yield.

great, the fearful, injustice the sem
ators might do by their vote today.
In closing the explanation of his vote
Senator Longley said:
IF this resolution is adopted then
be 1T known to the people of Geor-
gla that S. G. McLendon, an limo
cent and honOred Georgian, elected
by the people railroad commissioner.
has been degraded without having
violated the law, dishonored by the
senate of Georgia, deprived of his
office because he dared to stand by
his oath, and because he differed
with the governor. If he made mis-
takes it is not disputed the mistakes
were honest. Without a scintilla of
evidence tending to show his motives
were other than an earnest purpose
to be fair and just to the people, and
talr and just to the railroads; with
out the right given him to plead his
cause before the men who tried him:
crucified to satisfy a partisan political
clamor; made a scapegoat to bear
away the sins of his enemies, the
reasons given for his suspension

before any respectable court in the
land. No senator has claimed he
violated the law; that he was cor
rupt, or that his character is tar
nished, or that he is incompetent,
but the spirit of the cry against
him has seemed to be: Let his
blood be upon us and our children.
He will appeal from the decision
of this tribunal to the honest-hearted
men of Georgia, who will vindicate
him as they have indicated his pre-
decessor. AS sure as justice is eter-
nal so sure will his vindication come.

Wrong today is on the throne;
Yet the scaffold sways the future,

Senator Griffith said:
/ The people rule in Georgia, bless
God, and the time is coming just as

that they will have something to say
on tOdays proceedings in this body. "
