LEGISLATIVE PROBE
 MAY BE CONTINUED
Governor tc Issue Proclamation to Provide Funds if Condit-
 ions Warrant.

The auditing of the state de partments under the direction of the special legislative investigat- i've committee may not be stop- ped by the decision of the Su- preme Court yesterday, which cut off the pay of the committee members and their employees. If a proclamation Is issued by Governor Hays authorizing the issuing of vouchers to pay the expenses of the accountants, they are willing to continue their work, they said yesterday. Gov ernor Hays is in favor of having the work completed and will is- sue the proclamation if he be- lieyes he is justified in doing so, he said last night.
 No members of the committee were in Little Rock yesterday. They are expected to meet Tn Little Rock Thursday or before.
 The work Of the accountants, 1. F. Thomas and T. E. Cfess, which has gone on since the in- vestigation began, was stopped temporarily yesterday afternoon.
 Both of us had other work to do," Mir. Thomas said last night and we thought we would take it up until this matter is decided finally. Of course, we cannot afford to continue the work un- less we have some assurance we will be paid. However, if the committee desires, we will continue the work, and if the governor issues the proclamaf ion authorizing us to continue t e work, we shall do so, even though the vouchers cannot be cashed until the next legislature appropriates the money. We can finance the work and carry it on even if the payment is delayed. We will suspend the work until the committee decides what is to be done.

We bent today over a coffined
 form,
 And our tears fell softly down; We looked our last on the aged
 face
 With it's look of peace. its pat
 tent grace, And hair like a silver crown.
 Last Sunday at his home near Laneburg. Geo. w. Mum, 66 years old, died. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to the lips of friends and relativ- es. He was a noble soul. He was one of natures noblemen in it's truest sense brave, generous, manly. His was the soulof hon. or, and his friends and friend ships were sacred to him.
 Uncle George was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and was always found doing what he could to alleviate suffering humanity every where.
 He leaves a wife and three children, John B. Mum and w. N. Mum and Mrs. Randolph McGough, all living in the com. munity where they were raised He was buried in the Lanebure Cemetery, Rev. J. w. Irwin con ducted the funeral services.

Little Lois Vernata Whitten, the three and one half year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Pome- roy Whitten, died at the family home in Murfreesboro, Sunday afternoon, at 6:30 o'clock, after an illness of only a few hours with membranous croup.
 Impressive funeral services were conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon by Revs. Off, cer, Christie and Cornish, in the presence of a large concurse of sorroWing relatives and friends of the bereaved family and de- ceased, after which the little re- mains were carried to the Mur- freesboro cemetery, where they were laid to rest under a wilder ness of beautiful flowers arrang- ed by loving hands.

 wenty-siX days old when she
 yas called home. She was one f the brightest and most lov-
 ole little girls in Murfreesboro- admired. carressed and played with by everybody with whom she found it convenient to play.
 The little grave into which the weet lifeless remains were laid was one of the most beautiful ! y adorned with flowers we have yer seen, so emblematical of the sweet, pure and honored life f little Lois while she lived among us. Rev.

But Lots wife, she had a woman's curiosity, and she kept a-sayin' she wanted to look back and Lot kept atellin' her to keep her eyes to the front. Finally she took just one little peep, and then the Lord He turned her into a. great big pillar of salt that's just what He did, brethern.
 Birthstone and Fire.
 '"Then the Lord cut loose the brim- stone and fire, and he burnt up those two wicked cities"
 Throwing his coat back and clap ping his hands together. the minister shouted in rumbling bass:
 And where would God find you if H e sent Lot to look for you if He was going to burn up old St. Louis? Would He find you in the saloon? And what would He see when He looked in your icebox-a can of beer? And what would He find in your piano-'It's Long Way to Tip perary,' or a gospel song of Heaven
 And what do you do, my brethern, when the shades of night fall fast? When Venus peers upon the earth, and the gentle zephyrs stir, and the moonbeams gleam softly upon old St. Louis-you sucks a cigarette, and you drinks can of beer, instead of wor- shippin' God-now, don't you?" he demanded.
 Now, some of you good brethern go through the crowds, seek out the sinners, before God Almighty burns St. Louis up, like he did Sodom and Gomorrah-do you want to be burned up, do you want to be burned up?"
 'iNo, no, no!' came from a hum dred voices, and soon the mourners' bench was crowded with supplicants.
New Britain herald., 1915-12-20

l but he couldn't find them. He asked 1 one man:
 Say, mister, are you Christian 2 l Me a Christian? I should say not 1 I'm a gambler, that wicked man 1 answered.
 Abraham then went down a side street, where he heard ragtime play d on a piano, and asked a woman if she was righteous. She said: Say man, what do you think this is? This is the red hot district And he didn't find no righteous there. Then the Lord said if there were forty he wouldn't destroy the city; then thirty, then twenty, then ten. Abraham was bound to find at least ten righteous, so he ran through the town.
 Some of the folks laughed at that good man as he tried to save 'em, just as they laugh at ministers to- day., but the, Lord had spoken, and he was tryin' to save the wicked sinners.
 He ran into gambling den, just like they used to have in St. Louis, and said:
 "'Is there any righteous here?'
 "But they laughed at him. Gee. that fellows bughouse,' one of 'em said. But don't you think Abraham was playhouse. He knew what he was doin'. But he couldn't find the righ- teous. so he went back to his tent on the plains of Mamre, where the salu brious breezes blew.
 He went back to his tent, he went back to his tent" the minister sang, and his congregation joined in the chant.
 'Then two angels appeared to Lot as he sat in the gate of Sodom. Zephyrs were being waited pleasantly about, and all was peaceable and quiet. Old Sol had hid himself for the night, and beautious Venus had un- yelled her face to the plains Of men. And Lot took the angels in and gave them meat. And the angels told him to pack up and fly away, because God was going to burn Sodom.
 ''Lot started to get his goods ready, then he went out after his sons-in- law, but they were trif1in' fellows, just like the boys you see hanging around St. Louis poolrooms and saloons. He looked in all the, good places first, like the churches and the banks but they weren't there
 Then 10 went OOWn CO d Sa1nDlnS den, and there sat his sons-in-law playing cards.
 Up, get you out of this place, for the Lord will destroy this city, he told 'em.
 ''The crowd that was sittin' around the card table guffawed and said to one of the sons: Say, what's the mat ter with the old guy?' And one of 'em answered, 'Aw, don't pay no attention to him. He's 1ooney, he is.' And the other an swered: Go one home ole man. you've got sa tech of the heat s". And Lot went back home. kinda sorrowfu1 like, just like we ministers do when we can't get you sinners to come to church. So he and his wife packed up, just like this, and trottet off, just like this" Here he put a. large Bible over his shoulder, and trotted back and forth over the platform, while the congre- gation shouted.
