ed in City.

People OF the city and county OF
Anderson will be deeply grieved ia
learn OF the death of the Rev. Oliver
}. Copeland, d.. d., which occurred
early tuesday morning in AshevilIe,
y. G., where he had been for several
months in the hope that the climate

ages OF tuberculosis. He had beer
growing steadily worse for several
weeks and friends and members of
the family were prepared for the an
nouncement of his death. The funeral
services will be held Wednesday af-
ternoon at ) O'Clock at GAINESVILLE. Ga.
after which interment will be made in
II a city. The Rev. o. l.. Martin. OF
this city, will conduct the funeral
services. 1t is probable that several
friends of the dead minister and for
mer resident of Anderson will go To
Gainesville for the funeral services.
Native of County.
DR.. Copeland 4 the son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. j. Copeland, and was born
near C%heddar, which is bet tween, Bel

tered the Baptist ministry and served
as pastor of Hopewell. Meals Creek.
Mount Bethel. Mountain Creek and
Oakdale churches for some time.
from ANDERSON he went to Waynes-
noro, Ga, where he served as pastor
!or a large congregation. 1t was dur
ing MS passionate at Waynesboro that

a handsome Dhttrnh L,,.--
compares favorably with any in the.
State of Georgia.
Served liz Atlanta.
From Waynesboru DR.. Coneland
was called to the pastorate of jackson
Hill Baptist church of Atlanta. After
serving there for some time he was
called to Gainesville, Ga. while sery-
ing the congregation of thai city n
magnificent church, costing some
thing like 10000, was erected.
n 1t was largely due to DR.. Cone
lands influence that Is was built. 1t
was while DR.. Copeland was at
Gainesville that Mercer University
conferred the degree of Doctor of Dr.
vinfty upon him. DR.. Copeland was
also elected a turstee of the .institu-
ton.
Health Failed Him.
Two or three years & failing
health compelled DR.. Copeland to
resign from the ministry. He was
given a position as land end indus
trial agent>of the Piedmont & North
ern Lines. He filled this position most
a~cceptab)y, as lie was q man of splen-'
did business ability.

age. Several years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Elma Clinkscales, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. B. C%linkscales

PARDONS

Ed D. Burton who was recent
ly convicted at LaWrenceburg
and who plead guilty to the
charge of selling examination
questions, and who was sentenc
ed to the penitentiary for moi
less than one year nor more than
two years, was pardoned by Gov
McCreary.
We know nothing about the
particulars of the case. It ap.
pears that the defendant plead
guilty, therefore there can be nc
question as to his guilt. There
is no crime greater than this
against the integrity of our
schools, and the law was enacted
for the purpose of protecting the
state from impositions of this
kind. We cannot imagine how
there could be any eXtenuating
circumstances in the case. 1t ap
pears to us that it is making
merely a joke of the law. 1t is
very rapidly coming to the point
that only those who deny then
guilt are to be prosecuted and
punished. There seems to be
an effeminate idea that when
one confesses his guilt, he must
either be granted immunity from
prosecution or if convicted there
for, he must be promptly pardon
ed. Such administration of the
law tends only to degrade it.
