THE REVIVAL At TRACY
Close Of A Most Successful Series
Of Meetings.

The revival meeting which has been
going on for the past three weeks, in
the Methodist church at Tracy, closed
Wednesday evening. The meeting
has been one of the greatest the COM
munity has ever had. Seventy-eight
people were converted during the
meeting The pastor, T. ]. Petit,
who lives at $40 North C street, and
is taking work at Penn college, has
had practically full charge of the
meeting He was assisted during the
fore part of the meeting by gospel
team from Penn college. The last
two weeks of the meeting he has had
no outside help. The local talent
have rendered very acceptable assist
ance Andrew RouZe has led the
singing. Miss Dora Gladson, a tai
ented Tracy vocalist, has rendered
splendid assistance by her solo work,
Most of the time an orchestra of sew
eral pieces was present and greatly
enliyened the musical features of the
meeting. The pastor did all the
preaching. He preached the plain
gospel of salvation. He did not
mince matters at any time. No one
was spared. AS result the church
is enjoying a greater spirit OF har-
mony among it's members than it has
for years past. Fully two-thirds of
the converts will unite with the Tracy
church. Many converts were from
other places and will join their re-
spective church where they live.
The church building which seats
about 80 people, has been packed
each night for the last two weeks, with
audiences ranging anywhere from $50
to 400 people.
| A movement has been launched.
with very bright prospects for a new
parsonage, to cost approximately ST.,
| 500
| The whole community Is happy
about the splendid outcome OF this re-
yiyal.

"a years 2 months and 20 days.
The deceased CAME to Iowa with
his parents in 1910 when he was 10

a farm in Henry county. Here he
lived for eight years when he went
to Mt. Pleasant to learn the trade OF
a blacksmith and remained there four

waste of ink and paper.
This is Georgia's case: and Georgia means
to control it.
DON'T FORGET THE MASS OF TIE PEOPLE.
We have never sought to dictate to other
States: other States must be given to under
stand, once 151l<I foreuer. THAT THEY CAN
Nor DICTAT'E TO US.
Governor! The corridor of the Capitol
may buzz with hirclings, talking for Frank;
and the lobbics Of hotels may hum, with
cheap strikers for Leo frank.
But don't forget the sunny fields Where
red-handed and red-necled Gcorglans are
following the mule down the furrow don't
forget the old red hills, where Georgians are
at work. rs their fathers were, digging an
honest living out of the ground; don't forget
the hamlet and the village, that dot the map,
from river to river. ard from mountain to
sea; don't forget the old mothers who have
grieyed with Mary Pha2an;s mother; nor the
staiwart men whose breasts have ached for
the little fatholiess girl, e;ea5 on the field Of
honor!
Don't forget that ten thousand ten thous-
and men have had their eyes on Mary Pha-
gan's innocent blood lying there, in damning
spots, at Leo Franks door; and that these
strong men-some with daughters, and some
with grand daughters felt the blood
run cold IN their veins, at the thought that,
what Leo Frank did to the little Phagan girl,
some other lustful beast might do to these
idols Of their own hearts.
Don't forget that when the night comes
down on village, and hamlet, and country
home, all over Georgia, the honest, law-abid-
ing, Godfearing people, tired as they are
from the long days work, talk about this
Frank case. and about the superhuman efforts
that have been In operation for nearly two
years, to save this one New York Jew from
the gallows-two years during which GEN.
tiles, Of Georgia blood and birth, haze BEEN
hanged, without raising ripple of excite
ment among the harlots of Southern and
Northern journalism.
Governor This factitious clamor will soon
die away. The financed hurly- burly will be
heard no more.
But there is one thing that will not die
aWay-one thing that will live with us. to the
end of time.
If our system of law, and of legal ascer-
tainment Of guilt, and of legal punishment
for guilt, stands mistaken against the attacks
Of the Big Money Brigades, the glory of that
triumph of the Law, will abide with US, ever
more.
If we fail of our duty, and allow outside
dictation to trample our Code into the mire,
the shame will cling to us, as long as the
record of Celebrated Cases is remembered.
