Fight Expected Suits of
Macon Church Folk,

MACON. July 4.-The elders of the
First Christian Church have framed
a report 10 be submitted to the con-
gregation on Sunday morning in re-
gard to the charge that Mrs. Effie l.
Lester, the secretary of the Ladies
Aid Society, has been too friendly
with Professor Frank NJ. Charlton,
the choir leader. This charge is made
by Mrs. ]. w. Jenkins and Mrs. Alma
Armstrong, and is supported by testi-
mony of Mr. Jenkins and his grown
son, Rufus.
1t is regarded as certain that the
elders report will exonerate Mrs. Les
ter and Professor Charlton of any
wrongdoing and urge that the congre-
CATION continue confidence in them
and thereby further establish the vim
dication.
That this will be followed by action
in the courts by both Professor
Charlton and Mr.. Lester there is
hardly any doubt. In anticipation of
being sued for libel or prosecuted for
SANDER, Mrs. Jenkins has engaged At
torney Julian Urquhart to represent
her. He states that not only will Mrs.
Jenkins contend that she heard Pro-
lessor Charlton make an appointment
over the telephone to be at Mrs. Les
ter's home on the night of June 5,
while her husband was away, at
O'Clock, and that Professor Charlton
was chased out of the premises, but
that her son, Rufus, pursued him five
blocks, and in Tattnall Square Park
had hand-to-h hand encounter with
the music instructor.

Controversy Precipitated in State Convention
by Ruling on Payments in Advance.

A warm controversy was precipi-
tated into the tenth annual conven-
ton Of the Rural Letter Carriers As
sociation Of Georgia, in session at the
Kimball House, when the question of
membership termination came up.
Virtually every carrier paid his
dues Friday morning, a long recess
having been taken for the purpose.
Receipts given out covered the year
ending with the present convention,
but a large and determined number
of carriers insisted they should cover
a year from July T. the date of pay
ment. 1t is generally understood the
constitution and bylaws committee
will submit a ruling that dues paid
are to be considered as In advance,
instead of for the preceding year, as
at present. The submission of this
report was made Friday afternoon.
