Prayer service andchoir
 rehearsal Wednes-
 day night.
 The services of Sunday morn ing were of exceptional interest. because of the fact that at the opening of the service the Sun- day School again furnished to the church a worthy member in the person of one of its clever young men, Harold Owen. and as a closing feature of the service, the oldest members of church, T. P. McCpeight. now past 80 years of age and who has been an active elder in the Brinkley church for the past 3t years was relieved of the furthe' duties and responsibilities of the office of active elder by being elected to the honorary office of Elder Emeritus. Sunday. July 18th being the 5Oth anniversary of the marriage of Grandpa and Grandma McCreight, Pastor Thurman called attention to this fact in a most feeling manner and closed the services with an invitation to all friends of the old couple to come forward and extend them geetings. Surround ed by their children and grand children who are among our most worthy citizens. together with friends of a life time, surely their cup of blessings must have over run on this happy occasion. /

the extraordinary motion will prob
ably be made before the date set for
the hearing.
Solicitor General Dorsey left the
city for Valdosta Friday evening with
out making any comment on the
motion.
Many of the points made in the
extraordinary motion have been
known to the solicitors for some
time, and he has already collected
evidence with which to combat them
when the motion is heard before
Judge Hill
Before he left the city, the solicitor
is said to have instructed detectives
to take up detailed investigation of
the stories of the various Witnesses,
new and old, who are quoted in the
extraordinary motion.
The solicitor has the right, it is
said, to demand hearing of the
motion before April 16, the day on
which it will be formally filed with
the court and hearing before Judge
Hill begun. AS the solicitor refuses
to discuss the case in any of its
ramifications, no definite information
as to his attitude on this point can
be secured.

Atlanta, Ca, March 2S.-Leo NJ
Frank will not be hanged April II
the date set for his execution by
Judge Ben Hill. This became virtual
ly known through the disclosure O
contemplated legal maneuvers by
Franks corps of lawyers.
In the event that Judge Hills acts
unfavorably on the extraordinary
motion for a new trial and refuses
even to hear arguments, as he may
do in an extraordinary motion, and
follow this action by denying the de-
PENDANT bill of exceptions, the
judge may be mandamused by Frank S
attorneys and the case thereby car
ried for the second time to the SUI
pureme court of Georgia.
What the action of the defense will
court again denies their appeal, has
not been decided, but it is known
that the last resource, even then, will
not be exhausted.
Interest in the case sentered in
the announcement that w. J. Burns is
expected to return within the next
day or two from New York, where
certain phases of his problem carried
him a few days ago.
The extraordinary motion for a
new trial for Frank, served on the
solicitor Friday by attorneys for the
condemned man, can be amended at
any time before it is heard and as a
result any new evidence Burns may
discover will be included.

Would Make Pledge
For Prohibition Law
Tennessee Executive Committee Re
cOmmends This i'm Party
Platform.

Nashville, Tenn, March 2S.-The
Democratic party in Tennessee in the
next campaign will stand on plat
form favoring the maintenance and
enforcement of existing prohibition
laws, and the election law as it now
satnds upon the statute books. E
May 26 a candidate for supreme
Judge, to fill the vacancy made by the
ELECTION of Judge John X. Shields to
the Senate, aand now held by Judge
C. S, Williams, will be nominated.
and on the succeeding day candidates
for governor and railroad commits
sioner for Middle Tennessee will be
chosen.
when the state committee met yes
| terday there were a large number OF
fourths of the committeeman were
present, and on all sides the talk was
preservation of the temperance and
election laws as they now stand. All
around the hotel Hobbies nothing else
could be heard, and when the COM
mittee got down to business they bore
out the talk. Committees on conven-
ton procedure and resolutions were
| appointed at the morning session.
and in the afternoon, in less than so
minutes the unanimous declarations
of each committee were approved.
/ There was only one protest, and
that was from Committeeman Good
rich Of the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict, who opposed Endorsement of the
present election law. His protest
however, was Of no avail.
Action of the committee, in con-
crete form, may be said to be this:
First, conventions May 26 for judi
cial and May q for gubernatorial can
didates; second, for the maintenance
and enforcement of the present anti
LIQUOR laws and the enactment OF adj
|ditional laws necessary to make theil
enforcement more effectual, and
i third, the cutting so deep OF the
ground upon which independent Dem
j ocrats and Gov. Hooper stand thai
they will have nothing left upon which
to maintain a foothOld.
