FINE TRIBUTE
AIDRECTOR BY
BISHOP REESE
Calvary Congregation
Also Applauded For
Support and LOYALTY

A fine tribute was paid to Rev.
J. B. Lawrence, rector of Calvary
Episcopal Church here, and his loyal
congregation by Bishop F. F. Reese,
of Savannah, bishop of Georgia, at
the Easter services in the new
church, the first occasion on which
the recently completed edifice had
been used. The bishop was in charge
OF the services, and a large crowd
attended, the church being filled
almost to capacity.
The bishop explained to the con-
gregatlon early in the service that,
wh7ie the building could not be dedi-
Gated at this time, not being yet
debt-free the significance of the oc-
caslon could not pass unnoticed.
we cannot give away something
that does not belong to u.s." said he,
"and therefore we cannot give this
church to God until it is wholly ours
to give. But Il Is to be used for
public worship until that time, and
1t is not uniting that proper sig
nIflcance be given to its opening and
it be dedicated far as possible to
God. And so it is we'll to have a civil
service at this time, the spiritual
service to come later.
Il deeply admire and appreciate
the industry, persistence and faith of
your rector.-uzhAe may blush if he
sees fit at what am saying. l
have known him long time, first as
deacon and as assistant in my
church. For a time | was called
away from Georgia, and when / re-
turned | found him in charge of this
church. You know that it is due to
his persistence, ambition, purpose
and plan that this church stands here
today. But he couldn't have accom-
plished it except for the loyalty of
you people. And so l congrs tulate
you as your bishop upon your liber-
atty and generosity and f ithful
support of your rector in this ccom-
plishment. i do so as your bishop
because my interests are deep, per-
&onal and direct in every church in
~the diocese, and | am proud of your
showing here.
of course, many of you were
deeply attached to the old church. 1t
is filled with sacred memories, which
| can understand, that making the
giving up of it hard. That is the
fate of every one old enough to have
memories. But we must move on
with the time and the progressive
development of Gods kingdom, and
it seems to me that the time had
come when Calvary Church must
needs have a new building. So let
us go cn with faith and trust that
God is moving on to ~eater things
in the future than in past"
The bishop followed with an ex-
traordinary sermon-such a sermon
as appeals to thinking men and wo-
ment and does not depend upon SEN
timentalism to carry it. 1t was an
Easter sermon, and held the congre-

Men are not cornstalks; they are

WILLIAMS WIFE is NIECE
OE AMERICUS ATTORNEY.

Mrs. John S. Williams, wife of the
farmer accused of peonage and MUIR
der of his negro farm hands in JAS
per county, is niece of HaA.T. Lane,
Americus lawyer and city attorney,
being the daughter of his half broth
err. This brother was much Older
than Mr.. Lane, having served as a
captain in the War Between the
States, whereas Mr.. Lane was born
after the war.
Mr.. Lane was reared at Monticello,
near the scene of the multiple mur-
ders, but left thirty or more years
ago and has not kept closely in touch
with affairs or people there since.
he is acquainted with Williams, hav-
ing known him as a young man. He
says the charges and developments
are a great surprise to him, as Will
liams has always impressed him as
a mild hammered man, although
shrewd in business. The Williams
have thirteen children, he says, the
eldest of whom is a practicing physi-
clan at McDonough. The next
three, all boys, have been mentioned
in dispatches in connection with the
case, warrants having been drawn
for them, although they had not been
connected directly with the crimes,
and the remainder are younger
children, all living at home.
Mr.. Lane expressed a sense of hu-
initiation and regret, not only at the
family connection involved, but be-
cause of the stigma cast by the de.
velopments upon the good name OF
his old home community and upon
his state.
He has been requested to come to
Monticello to assist in the defense,
but has been physically indisposed
and has thus far declined to have
anv part in the case.

MERE could be no filter setting
for n story of love and tragedv
By SIR WALTER SCOTT


">HERE could be no filter setting
for story of love and tragedy
than that afforded by the court
of England during the reign Of Eliza
| beth.
! IL was the heyday of gorgeous cos
tuning and an age saturated with the
occult. Everyone patronized the as
trologers and the alchemists. The
queen coupled with the dignity and
strength Of the monarch the foibles OF
the weak. IL was her policy 10 play
one favorite against another and there
by secure the working OF her own
strong will but she often gave way TO
furious temper and she was most sus-
ceptible 20 flattery. She was forever
undecided between her duty 10 her sub
jects and her attachment TO Robert
Dudley, the earl Of Leicester, whom, IL
was commonly reported, she real
ly intended 10 marry, for he was a
courtier par excellence, and his ambi-
tion TO share the throne overpowered
every other purpose OF his life. He
had, however. been secretly welded 10
Amy Robsart, and so, 10 further his
chances TO be king. he consorted with
one Richard varney, and plotted the
murder OF his wife. which was accom-
plished at Abingdon manor.
These threads of fact, with many
others OF fancy, Scott wove into the
fabric of "Kenilworth."
The story opens at an inn kept by
one Gosling, whose nephew, Michael
Lambourne, a staggering drunkard,
returns after years of absence and
finds that Tony Foster. an old crony.
who lighted the fires when Latimer and
Ridley were burned. is keeping guard
over beautiful woman at Cumnor
mansion. Lambourne gains admission
there, accompanied by Tressilian. a
knight OF peerless character, who is In
search OF her TO whom ne has been be-
trothed and who has been lured away
from her fathers house. Lambourne |
becomes an accompllce In crime with |
Foster. and TressilIan meets the mys-
terious lady, who proves TO be none
other than Amy Robsart. for II was she J
who was his promised bride.
He tries 10 persuade her 10 return
10 her father, but In vain, and, In at
tempting TO escape from the premises
he meets Richard varney, master of
horse TO Leicester, shrewd calculat-
Ing villain, who is constant spur TO
the earl's ambition TO be king.
Tressilian naturally concludes that
Amy is this fellows mistress and.
drawing his sword, overcomes and
would have slain him but for the time
" arrival Of Lambourne, when he was
obliged 20 fee, and, knowing the
queens interest in such affairs, he re-
solves TO obtain her Intervention In

And here Scott makes use OF a su-
bent Of the age. Tressillan's
horse loses a shoe and a blacksmith
,annot be found until an imp OF a boy
