A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with are kept in such
condition furnish efficient service Where the
of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require . thorough overeauling occa-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year, and that at least
experienced telephone man assist in this work The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec
ton experiencing trouble with their service we
will appreciate their talking the matter with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.

The Cordova daily times., 1915-06-21
(By Associated Press)

ATLANTA, June 21. - Governor Slaton today commuted the death sen tence of Leo Frank to life imprison- ment. Public feeling throughout the state is running high over the action of the governor, and to prevent any possible attempt on the life of the prisoner, Frank was yesterday taken secretly to the state farm at Milledge- vile.
 This is the concluding chapter of one of the greatest "causes celebre" in the annals of American criminal Jurisprudence, and ends a nation wide fight to save the life of the condemned man. The case has been before the supreme court of Georgia three times, and twice before the Supreme Court of the United States In every case the courts have decided against the condemned man, and held that his sensational conviction was legal
 Frank was tried for the murder of Mary Phagan. a 16year-old girl, who was found murdered in a pencil fac tory of which Frank was superin- tendent. The chief evidence againt Frank was given by a negro, who

M0BS RI0TING IN ATLANTA GEORGIA
IURDERER FRANK IS SAVED FROM DEATH BY HANGING

ATLANTA, June 21.-The disorders in this city over the action of Governor Slaton in committing the sentence of Leo Frank are increasing and there is a possibility that the state militia will be called out to preserve the peace. This afternoon over 2,000 persons gathered at a pub lie meeting at the state house grounds and after listening to many speakers condemnihg the action of the executive, passed strong resolu- tions protesting against the commu- tation, and violently attacking the governor.
 After adopting the resolutions, the crowd marched to the center of the business district carrying bannars, in flammatory in nature. The mob in creased in numbers until several thousands were in the parade, and it finally turned its steps towards the city hall, where a near riot occurred this morning. The governors name was hooted at every opportunity, and despite the commands of the police to peacefully disperse, the mob. at the insistence of it's leaders continued its demonstrations.

VOLCANO ERUPTS IN MIDDLE OF

TOXIC, June 2l.-A terrifying volcanic eruption occurred at sea off the south coast of Japan two days ago. A huge pillar of fire arose from the waves accompanied by a dense cloud Of smoke Huge rocks and lava rained into the sea. and the water for miles around became red and boiling with heavy clouds of steam. At night the sea in the vicinity of the eruption was as bright as day, with the light from the pillar of flame. A tidal wave struck many of the steamers in the vicinity but none of them were harmed. Yesterday the eruption was still on, and was accompanied by a heavy earthquake shock. which was felt throughout the empire, damag- ing many houses in this city. No lives were lost through the shock, although the property damage is great

 When the news of the communication became public. crowds gathered in front of the city hall, and the leaders of the mob made impassloned ad- dresses criticizing the action of the governor, and claiming that hence forth the virtue of a white woman would not be safe in this state. The police had much difficulty in dspers- ing the people, and a riot was almost started when an officer attempted to arrest man who had assaulted him. The crowd surged around the police man and tried to rescue the prisoner but the officers charged the mob with their drawn clubs and succeeded in landing the man in the police station. It is reported that a big delegation is coming to this city from Marietta, the home of the dead girl, and the police fear that serious disorders will result when they arrive. Excitement through out the city is at fever heat, and talk Is rampant that an attempt will be made to take Frank by force and hang him.

NEGRO I R US I ' BURNS BODY
 OF WOMAN

JOLIET, H., June 21.-Joseph Campbell. a negro prisoner in the state penitentiary here, is being held in solitary confinement here, pending an investigation into the death of Mrs, Edward Allen, whose burned body was found on blazing bed yesterday. Mrs. Allen was the wife of the warden of the prion and was a former comic opera star.
 Campbell was trusty, and has always borne a good reputation but circumstantial evidence so far dis covered tends strongly to show that he murdered the woman. It is sug- gested that the dead woman was violated, and that Campbell killed her afterwards, and tried to cover up all traces of his offense by burning the body. The remains are almost un- recognizable, and 1t is feared that an autopsy will not show how the death occurred.
The Cordova daily times., 1915-06-21

testified that he assisted Frank in doing away with the remains of the the girl. The testimony of the negro has been violently attacked by the friends of Frank, who contended that the negro was the real murderer and was trying to shield himself by plac- ing the onus on Frank. Frank is a Jew, and race feeling entered largely into the case and his fellow religion ists have been the prime movers in the effort to get his sentence com muted.
 Governor Slaton made a statement giving the reason for his action in saving the life of the prisoner. He said q would be a murderer if I allowed this man to hang. My action in committing his sentence kills my chances in a political way in this state, and means that I must live in obscurity for the rest of my days. Despite that I cannot act contrary to my own conscience, and although the Georgia Prison Commission refused to recommend that the sentence be commuted, I have done my duty be- fore God, and my heart Is easy. would rather be condemned to earn
