The Main Street
BAPTIST REVIVAL
CONGREGATION FRIDAY NIGHT
URGED TO Definite PRAYER
AND SPECIAL WORK.

A good congregation was present
last night at the Main Street Baptist
Church. Mr. Solomon urged those
present to definite prayer and special
work; select some one person and
pray and work for that one until he
or she is saved. 1t takes prayer and
work on the part of Christians to
have a revival" said he.
The text for the sermon was For
it pleases the Father that in Him
should all the fulness dwell and
through Him to reconcile all things un-
to himself, having made peace through
the blood of the cross"
The preacher said. Here is the pic
ture of the palace of peace. The foun
dation is justification. Being there
fore justified through faith we have
peace with God through our Lore
Jesus. Much more then, being now
justified by His blood, shall we bt
saved from the wrath of God.
THE foundation of salvation II
Jesus. For other foundation can nj
man lay than that is laid, which i
Jesus.
"The foundation of peace is just
fication. We have peace, not wit
:. the world not with ourselves, but wit
God.
"This peace brings reconciliation.
also brings fellowship with God an
+ man. That is partnership with tn
eternal God.
"Our natural condition is ALLEVIATE
i, from the common wrath of Isreal an
strangers from the covenants of graz
having no hope and without God in IL

"But in Christ Jesus ye that on

Lewis Dennis IS
AGAIN FUGITIVE
KINDS COUNTY DESPERATE is
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT
TO ROB A NEGRO.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 29.-Lewis Den
mis-, Kinds county's most noted des-
perado. with a record of six victims of
his deadly pistol, is again a fugitive
from justice.
The latest escapade of Dennis was
a bold attempt to rob negro near
Oakley, and during the encounter he
shot the unfortunate in the leg and
ESCAPED. The negro made vigorous
resistance, but was badly beaten over
the head by Dennis with the butt OF
his pistol. DR.. l.. B. Neal extracted
the bullet from the negro's leg, and
he will recover.
The criminal career of Dennis dates
back to 1908, when he killed his hrst
negro. Early in 1905 he shot and
killed John T. White, circuit clerk OF
the county, in a drunken brawl at
RAYMOND, was sentenced to death, Sc
cured a reversal, a second conviction
for manslaughter followed, and he was
pardoned by Gov. Noel after serving
about two years of the sentence
Last summer Dennis killed Nanny
Watson, a barber, shooting him dowT
on the town square at Raymond. Thi'
killing was provoked by the alleged
refusal of Watson to marry siste
: of Dennis who, it was claimed, h
had seduced. He was acquitted o
this crime, getting his case carried t
Madison county on change OF venue
= and playing the "unwritten law" pie
: for all it was worth.
The other victims of Dennis wer
i negroes, whom 1t is alleged that n
shot at various times, one while h
was living in Florida.
According to the evidence develope
. in an investigation of the affair I
County Attorney o. B. Taylor, the Ia

REV. A. O'BRIANT
MAY ACCEPT CALL
PASTOR OF iMMANUEL BAPTIST
is CALLED BY MOSS POINT
CHURCH..

Rev. A. L. O'Bryant has just received
a call to the Moss Point Baptist church,
which he is considering accepting.
Mr.. O'Bryant has been in Hatties-
burg for several years, during which
time and his family have endeared
themselves to large number OF
friends who will regret exceedingly tc
see them leave.
Having organized the Emmanuel Bap
uptist church, Mr.. Bryant has prose
cuted the work of that church agains
every adverse condition and thes'
have been many. For long time tn
church used canvas tent for its SCI
vices. Later the large, substantia
frame church building now used b
the congregation was built under tn
direction of Mr.. O'Bryant, whose il
: dustry and optimism made the churc
) possibility. The thing for whic
: Hattiesburg is most indebted to NJ
! O'Bryant, however, is the Mississip
5 Woman's College, for the establis
g 1<hent of which he is justly accord'
n a large measure Of praise.
e Since his name has been so inse
r, arably connected with the location

CONFERENCE TO
MEET At NATCHEz
LOCAL METHODIST PASTORS
WILL PREACH CLOSING SER
MONS OF YEAR TOMORROW.

The Mississippi annual conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South will convene at Natchez, Wed
nesday morning, Dec. 3. The three
pastors of the Methodist churches in
this city will preach their closing SER
mons for the current year tomorrow
and they will all leave not later than
| Tuesday for the conference. AS this
is the first year with the pastors Rev.
Charles w. Crisler, Rev. Geo. H. Gal
loway and Rev. w. S. Harrison, there
is no consideration of any changes
so far as is known, and it is more than
probable all three pastors will be re
turned to their respective appoint
ments in this city.
This being the first year for the Rev
George H. Thompson, the presiding
) elder of the Hattiesburg district,
is highly probable that he will ais
be re-appointed to, the same work 70
another year.
/ Though under the law of the Meth'
S dist Church a preacher has to be al

l. ference, the same preacher may be a

Sm,th Pardon Petition
Filed With Coz. Brewer

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 29.-Although
the petition for pardon of c. G. Smith,
former chairman of the state prison
board, convicted of grating In con-
nection with an automobile sale to
the state, and given a five-year peni-
tentiary sentence, was filed in the
Governors office yesterday, 1t is
doubtful whether Gov. Brewer will
give it formal consideration until the
Supreme Court passes on Smiths ap
peal to that tribunal.
There is a legal doubt as to the
right of the Governor to issue a par
don while an appeal is pending, and
even If this doubt did not exist, Gov
Brewer would be very much disin
clined to pass on the case until afte

in the Tombs.
Tolman, many times tried. but until
this time always acquitted. was
charged with usury by Carl schick, a
clerk. Mr.. Schick, on the occasion of
his parents golden wedding, went to
one of Tolman's offices and borrowed
$40, giving his note for SIS. He was
forced to pay 200 per cent interest.
The transaction was made with a wo-
man clerk.
| Tolman, who is said to have owned
more than sixty such loan offices in
various parts of the country, declared
at the trial that he knew nothing OF
the loan. He said that he had sold
his business some time before, and he
appeared confident of acquittal all
through the trial The appeal was
Il made Immediately following the sen
tence.
The judges of the court of specia
sessions declared at the time of Tol
mans trial that he was one of thu
worst types of usurers who had eve
appeared before them, and stated tha
they were sorry that the law did no
enable them to punish him more Sc
4 verely than with a sentence of 81
months.

It has been reviewed BY the Supreme
Court.
Close personal friends Of the Gov
ernor declare that If he interferes with
the verdict of the court it will be on
grounds other than the contention that
Smith was not guilty Of criminal
wrong. In other words, 1t will have
to be shown that Smiths physical
condition is such that he would not
long survive close confinement or hard
labor. In the application for the bail
the contention was made that the for
mer prison board chairman is afflicted
with tuberculosis in incipient form
Should this be conclusively proven to
the Governor, there is some probabili'
ty of a pardon being granted, other
wise, in event Of Supreme Court al
firmance, Smith will have to serve MS
: sentence.

Rahaao Commits Suicide.

Mexico City, Nov. 29.-Like Gen.
Jose Gonzales Sales after the battle Oh
Rellano in March, 1912, Gen. Antonio
Rabago. Military Governor of the state
of Tamaulipas, killed himself after
losing Victoria, the capital. The sui
eide of General Rabago is not admitted
by the government, but the news Is
contained in a telegram to relatives
here who do not question it's authen-
ticity.
General Rabago, as Military Cover
nor. was responsible for the garrison
when Victoria was attacked by the
rebels on November II.
It was not until Friday that local
newspapers published any intimation
that Victoria had been captured Gen.
eral Rabago, it was stated, had evacu-
ated the city.
Among the incidents connected with
the capture of Victoria, one is related
of the execution of Capt. Tomas ia
mez. He was told that his life would
be spared if he foreswore the govern
ment.. He refused and was given an
hour for meditation. When the hou'
had ELAPSED he asked to be taken be
fore the man who had ordered his ex
ecution. He embraced the militar!
Judge. assuring him that he cherished
no resentment, and then marshed Il
. the place Of execution. -
There he distributed among the Ill
ing SQUAD all but one of package o
cigarettes. This he lighted himsel
and signalled to the officer in con
. mand to give the order to fire.
