FORMER GOVERNOR BROWN
GETS IN FRANK CASE

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 4.-The entrance
of Ex-Governor Joseph Brown into
the Frank case and Franks reply to
the eX-governor's card is attracting
vide attention in Georgia this week
and is the cause of more comment,
perhaps, than any other phase of the
celebrated case.
Governor Brown addressed a card
to the Augusta Chronicle in which he
said that he saw no room, under the
evldence, to place the crime upon
any other than Frank, even if the ne
gro Conley's evidence was thrown out
entirely. The Chronicle, in an ed-
torial, had argued that Frank should
be given life sentence in the hope
that some day evidence might arise
which might establish his innocence.
Governor Brown replied that his guilt
was already established and inquired
whether Georgia should be left free
to execute her laws until "she con-
victs Jew and that then her process
must be held up and defeated?"
From his cell in the Atlanta iaiI
Frank gave out statement denounc-
ing Browns card as a TRADE a great
er slander against the state than any
possible criticisms Of his trial. He ac-
cused Brown of trying to pay his po-
liticai debt to Solicitor Dorsey, who
supported Brown in his senatorial
campaign, at the expense of the life
of an innocent man.
, 1T is now reported that Dorsey, in
his argument before the United
States supreme court, may wage a.
attack on the. constitutional clause
that relates to the due process of. law
in the trial Of criminal cases should
this be true, he will establish a pre-
edent and if his attempt be successful
he will succeed in breaking down the
federal constitution itself.
The amendment covering the "du=
process of law" is said to have been
adopted just after the civil war pu,
ly as a measure to fit litigation IN
the reconstruction period, and it IS
argued that it is useless and unnec-
essary now. Many able lawyers have
for years held it an arbitrary rule
which hampers the state courts in
their own rights and which is dan
gerouS law to be held over the head
of honest tribunals

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Jan. 4.-The old
years, 1914, is gone and is numbered
with the passed. Always at this time
my mind reverts to the scenes
of my boyhood days, and in imagina-
tion it seems as if it was yesterday
when it passed. I have bright recol
lection of the days spent in boyhood
at the old home where | first saw the
light, and with loved ones sit around
the old hearth stone and listen ard
mingle our voices with those we love
so well. But now can see the vacant
chairs and empty cradle, and this
seems as if it was drcam-but dear
friends, | know there are many who
can imagine these same scenes. Some
times l wish I could go those days
over again, but we cannot. you know.
But we can forever keep in memory
those loved ones
| will say thanks to those who say
to me: "Still give us news, Moxv, we
like to read your letters" Now, we
sure do appreciate such words as
these.
We often hear people say when
some one dies that he or she, whoever
they be, was good fellow, but you
hardly ever hear it while he lives.
Let's spread the flowers while he lives
and don't wait until he is dead and
then say good things, it will do no
good to the dead.
Now at the beginning of the new
year let us all pass some good reso-
luton, for there is always room 70"

ty men, etc., and>valuable papers and
office furniture were almost a total
loss. A general alarm was sent IN,
which called every piece of apparatus
in the fire department, and for time,
when the water pressure was poor, it
looked as though adjoining property
was doomed. On the ground floor two
stores were badly damaged by water
and smoke. The entire fifth and sixth
floors of the building were completely
ruined, and floors below were flooded
with water. Firemen remained on the
scene until after 7 o'clock this morn

CALLS FOR MUCH DEXTERlTY
Chakri-Throwng Might Well Be Con-
sidered as an Art Rather
Than PaStimc.

In front of the mausoleum of holy
Saint-Mohamed Ghous-a fair is held
annually on the outskirts of Gwalior
lndia) town, about the middle OF the
rainy season. The most noticeable fea-
ture OF the fair is the chakri-throw. A
chakri is piece of iron something
like a spindle. over which a long piece
Of string or thread is rolled The
player throws high into the air the
iron chakri Qitcrally a roln, holding
one end OF the string in his hand, and
gives it swing and jerk in such Il
clever manner that the chakri on
coming down, rolls up the thread
again on itself. and is caught in the
hands of the thrower The art has
been deXterously practiced by a class
OF people for ages past, and some
members are so renowned that they
cut good figure at the scene. 1t is
most interesting to watch the thrower
fling the chakri up high, catch It in his
hands on return and continue sending
it up again and again till the ropd be-
comes as high as seventy feet above
the ground. There is absolutely no
spring or lever attachment in the
chakri. Nabbo is the champion
thrower.
