NORTHERN PAPERS
Strong ON FRANK
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2O.-Leadine
New York newspapers of Wednesday
morning, with their first editorial ex-
preston on the lynching of Leo NJ.
Frank, sold for as much as twenty-five
cents apiece on the Atlanta streets to-
day, in spite of the fact that several
hundred extra copies had been order
ed in advance by the newsstands.
The editorial of the "Times" was
perhaps, the one that occasioned most
comment. 1t was of a startling and
to some extent unexpected nature. Iu
substance it said that Georgia could
not afford to announce to the world
the identity of the men who hanged
Frank. If these lynchers did, as some
commended, represent the true spirit of
the people of Georgia, said the Times,
they should be held up to public
honor by the state. If they did not
represent the spirit and wishes of the
people of Georgia, they should be pun
ished as murderers. The Times, so
far as it was concerned, did not believe
that the action represented this state
in the true light, and suspended any
words of criticism or condemnation
directed toward the state or the peo-
pie. 1t proposed to wait and see what
Georgia was going to do about it.
Other New York newspapers were
less logical in their expressions and
held Georgia up to scorn as if by the
Frank lynching the whole state had
lapsed into condition of violence and
barbarism.

THIS PREACHER
GREAT SP|ELER
WHILE SLEEPING
CAN PREACH ONLY WHEN SLEEP.
ING SOUNDLY

Americas possesses a full compile
ment of colored preachers, with val
liant host of others upon the waiting
list to fill any possible vacancy, an
among them are some of the best in
the race in the state. But these ex-
pound the scriptures with eyes wide
open and in that respect differ rad;.
cally from the tactics of a recent par
sonic parsonage imported here from
Saluda, S. c., and who breaches only
when asleep.
According to common useage, only
the congregation is supposed to sleep
but this new automatic pilot of the
skies usurps that right and the dea.
cons and elders remain awake in sheer
amazement at the finished exhortations
Of this slumbering Senegambian who
shores, shouts and exhorts by turns.
The story is absolutely true and is
vouched for by Americas people who
have watched this victim of a strange
malady which impels him TO preach
only when asleep.
I~
Americas recently from South Caro-
lima, where his sleeping and preaching
propensities are we'll known. He works
upon farm here, but at night, upon
his regular preaching dates, he falls
in deep slumber and proceeds to open
up his valves sermonic. He takes a
regular text and breaches from it with
all the earnestness of one drawing
$105O per week from a too critical
congregation.
Awe stricken, crowds of colorei
friends gather about him and hear the
| sermon. The only difference from this
program and that at the church is
that the regular collection is omitted
to the detriment Of he slumbering par
| son. His words of wisdom oftimes
strike body blow and put the con-
gregation to shouting in the most or
thodox style. Many have joined the
church under influence of his SER
mons.
Rev, Browns career is most re-
markable and his dual propensities of
preaching while asleep will doubtless
battle scientists who have studied his
case carefully.

MAJOR WALTON.

Along with a wide circle, Tazewell
people mourn the death of that splen-
did citizen and gentleman, Major
Samuel Walton. In more ways than
one he was closely allied with Taze-
well, and his passing is deeply la
mented. He was always bright, cheer
full, sensible and optimistic; a gentle
man of culture and dignity, whom it
was pleasure to know We grieve
to think that he has gone from among
us, and that we shall see his face no
more.
The roads and great bridges he has
built, and better still, the boys and
girls he has educated and helped to
success in business, remain monu-
ments to his memory.

A FANS SPRING SONG.

We care naught for war in Europe.
Nor the muss in Mexico.
Hard t ines" talk to us sounds silly
Even dancing now seems slow,
But the training camps late gossip,
Is the thing which hits us right.
Johnson's twirling in his Id form,
Cleveland's ready for the fight.
We don't care hang cause Turkey
Has been most wiped off the map,
And for those queer scraps in Cuba,
We don't give a single rap;
But we're glad to know that jackson
Is just clouting 'em mile.
And that Matty's good as ever,
That Ty Cobb still steals in style,
All this talk about corruption,
And Bill Bryan's newest wheeze,
May be fine Tor politicians,
But the fans they fail to please,
What we want to know is whether
Old Hands Wagner still is fit,
If Joe Wood can get 'em over,
And Ed Collins still can hit.
