MAYORS MONDAY MATINEE SALE OF CHURCH ENJONED
COURT STOPS SALE OF METHO-
DIST HOUSE OF WORSHIP.
Parties Who Have Ancestors Buried
at ChiCkaSaWhatchee Church Be-
gin Legal Proceedings.

The sale of the old Methodist
church at Chickasawhatchee, which
was advertised for April 23rd, did
not occur.
The church was moved to SaSser
some time ago, and by order of the
conference of the, Sasser circuit the
old building at Chickasawhatchee
and several acres of land We're or
dered to be sold, the proceeds to be
applied to the building of a new
church at Sasser, two miles away.
Through their attorney, H. A.
Wilkinson, several citizens-G. S.
Crowell, Edgar Todd, c. G. Lewis,
Joe Stevens and C. C. Lunday-filed
a petition in the superior court pray
ing that the sale of the church and
land be enjoined, and Judge Worrill
granted a temporary restraining or
der citing the representatives OF the
church to appear before him in Cutb-
bert on the morning of May 9th and
show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent,
The petitioners allege that part of
the land has been and is now being
nsed as a cemetery and that each
has relatives buried therein-among
whom is the father and mother of
one of them-and that said cemetery,
which is now being maintained by
the community, cannot be sold with
out rendering it inaccessible.
The petitioners further set forth
the allegation that the church and
property have been held for fifty
years by the trustees of the Metho-
dist church at Chickasawhatchee I'M
der a deed from w. H. Crawford
which provides that when said site
ceased to be used for church purposes
the title should revert to the estate
of the grantor, and that its sale
would be a diversion from the pur-
pose of the original grant and the
appropriation of the proceeds Tor
other purposes stipulated in the orig
inal conveyance.
1t is also charged that the sale
of the property would not only inter-
fere with the use of the cemetery by
the petitioners, but would be a pri-
vate injury as we'll as a public wrong
and thereby destroy the easement
now held by the public at large.
The petition has raised an inter
esting question, and the case will nc
doubt be carried through all the
courts before it is settled.

Dawson Saturday morning with exer-
cises appropriate to the occasion, the
programme having been arranged by
Mary Brantley Chapter of Daughters
of the Confederacy
At $50 o'clock a reception was
held in the county court room in
honor of the orator of the day, Hon.
Lucien L. knight of Atlanta, where
he had the pleasure Of meeting a
number of confederate veterans, the
members of Mary Brantley chapter
and many county and city officials
and citizens generally. During
the reception the Bronwood band,
which furnished music for the occa-
sion, gave a concert in the lobby of
the court house, which was much en-
joyed
Mr.. M. J. Yeomans, as master OF
ceremonies, called the audience to
order at 10 o'clock, when the open
ing prayer was offered by Rev c. A.
Jackson. The band played Dixie,
after which several hundred of the
public school children were marched
into the auditorium and sang "The
Sunny South" A beautiful Tecita
ton was rendered by Miss Wray
Hass. A quartette composed of Mrs.
]. A. Shields, Mrs w. H. Feagle, Mrs.
w. C. Wallace and Mrs. w. D. Pas

Memorial actresses ever heard in
Dawson. The speaker in eloquent
words paid glowing tribute to the
veterans who stood the trials of war,
and to the women of the confederacy,
who won the admiration of the whole
world. Mr.. Knight held the large au-
dience at rapt attention during the
delivery of his entire address.
At the conclusion of Mr. Knights
address Mr.. J. w. F. Lowrey paid
tender tribute to Mrs. B. H. Hood
for the noble work she has done in

regret that Mrs Hood could not at
tend the exercises.

SENDING nE NEw MAR SIGNAL

A generation ago every clock in the land
was supposed to stand at noon when the
sun passed the meridian of that particu-
lar place, or rather at the average time of
its passing.
Noon continually Travelled around the
earth, visiting each part of our zone
every day. When 1t was noon In Chi
cago 1t was later than noon at every
point further west. even If IN the next
village. The difference was four min
utes for every degree of longitude Since
a degree of longitude becomes longer the
nearer we approach the equator the diff
ference was about five seconds per mile,
east and west, at the northernmost edge
of the country and less than four seconds
per mile in southern Florida. This 10
cal mean time is still gwen in the house
hold alnanacs, for sunrise, sunset, etc.
AS long as men did not travel rapidly
such a complication did not cause serious
inconvenience. But as soon as railroads
commenced traversing the country great
confusion began to result The Bostonian
visiting New York would find his watch

than twenty-four hours long. But it is an
easy matter, by aid of the national al
manac, to always learn the corresponding
hour, minute, second and fraction of a
second in mean solar time" which latter
is kept by our clocks and watches. This
''mean solar time is kept by another
wonderfully accurate clock of the OBJ
servatory. The mean solar day" of
twenty-four hours is the average or mean
of all the varying solar or sun DAYS of the
year. This second clock, telling of these
full twenty-four-h hour sun days, is being
constantly corrected by the star clock,
which, in turn. as we saw, is constantly
corrected from the stars by the observer
with his eye at the telescope and his hand
on the electric button.
This solar timepiece is the standard
clock by which the standard time of the
nation is licked off. 1t separates one from
another our years. days, hours. minutes
and seconds. 1t tells the midnight reveler

To raise money for the equipment

supplied 5000 miles of the line with TIM
signals and demonstrated to the nations
astronomers how standard time could
be supplied to the country. The Ameri-
can Railway Association finally persuaded
Congress to appropriate for a free DIS
tribution of standard time to all persons
from the old Naval Observatory. and late
in 1888 this system went into effect. The
country had to be divided into time belts

Our calendar is kept straight in another
department of the Naval Observatory-the
national time Office. Here our years,
days, minutes and seconds are officially
carved out. Computers with great pre-
cision mark to the exact fraction of q
second the time when each year begins,
carefully divide It into days. hours. min
utes and seconds and finally mark off Its
precise ending. They do not pay any at
tention to the sun in this work, for the
positions of that heavenly body vary too
greatly from day to day. by reason of the
changing motion of earth upon her orbit.
But there are certain stars which can
always be depended upon to cross the

the time required by the earth in making
