At Blairsville First
Monday in October

GAINESVILLE, Ga, Sept. 19.-The
question of trying the Crawleys again
is up to Judge J. 3. Jones, and ne
'Union county. At one time, he con-
sidered a change of venue. from
Union to Hall, but after a full in
vestigation the judge thinks he can

new trial by the supreme court be-
cause one of the jurors was a rela-
man. The last trial exhausted all

added and the judge thinks that out
of this number a jury may be Sc
Iected. The trial will begin in Blairs-
vile on the first Monday in October.
There are ten murder cases on the
Union county docket, and the judge

IRISH DAHL EIREANN
HOLDS FULL MEETING

Inv
DUBLIN, Sept. 19.-CBy the Asso-
ciated Press) 1.-The dali cabinet held
full meeting this afternoon lasting
an hour Michael Collins, minister
of finance, and Charles Burgess
minister of defense, left the meeting
early A communication to the press
regarding the session is expected to-
night.
The dali cream met to deliberate
on the situation brought about by
| the latest note sent to Dublin by
Prime Minister Lloyd George. TINS
communication was received Sun
day at an hour that prevented the
Irish republican cabinet from con-
sidering it before today.
Readiness to meet Mr.. DeValera or
other delegates from the Sim Fem
''in the capacity of the chosen spokes-
men for southern Ireland" was eX-
pressed by the prime minister, but
he refused to confer with them as
Representatives of a sovereign and
independent state" Mr.. Lloyd George
declared that the section of the Sim
Fein note dispatched on September
II which was construed as placing
the Irish delegates on par with
ENJOYS from separate power must
be withdrawn before conference
was possible. He pointed out that
when Mr.. DeValera went to London
to begin conversations as to a basis
for settlement Of the Irish problem
he was received as the chosen leader
of the great majority in southern
Ireland" and that Mr.. DaValera ac-
cepted this designation.
After Mr.. DeValera on Saturday
dispatched telegram to Mr.. Lloyd
George stating that the Sim Fein
bad accepted the prime minister's in
vitation to the Inverness conference,
but had merely detailed the position
he and his colleagues were maintain
ing, it was believed the way had been
prepared for a continuation of the
negotiations with the British gov
eminent. Yesterdays note from the
prime minister, however, made it evil
dent that Mr.. Lloyd George was in
sistent in demanding q clear declara-
ZION IndC lr6ldnQ ndQ not renowned
her allegiance to the British crown.
The note of September IL, to Sec
ton Of which the prime minister
took exception, was approved by q
unanimous vote taken by the dali
cream. 1t would appear, therefore,
that another session of that body
must be called for the purpose of
main tanning the position assumed in
that note, Or drafting a new commu-
nication which woS5!!-I- in some way,
meet the views of the prime min
lister.
Desmond Fitzgerald, minister of
propaganda, when asked today az to
when a reply probably would be SEM
to Mr.. Lloyd George, said he could
give no information on that point.
1t is suggested in some quartets
that Mr.. DeValera may be content to
leave the situation as it stands and
discontinue the correspondence.
There seems to be general agreement
that the paragraph in the September
II note to which Mr.. Lloyd George
objects, could not be withdrawn with
out the consent of the dali cream,
which approved it.

WHEN We DIE.

What happens to when die? What does it
feel like, pass Of this earthly life and enter
the unknown beyond?
An interesting answer from a group OF
psychologists. Their observations are that in the
dying hour the sense Of smell is first to fail Then.
in order the dying person loses taste. sight touch
hearing
Thus the five senses pass Outwardly. death seems
TO have taken place.
But how about the sixth sense-consciousness
Many medical men believe that the brain is con-
scious. sometimes much as 20 minutes after the
five senses are gone.
Every one has heard OF people who had visions
OF angels. music and food OF bright light in the
moment OF passing from the material world
Why fear death? Life is only a Journey death
only change. The ancients contemplated death
without fear, and met it with indifference
They acceFted it inevitable. hence never raised
affairs 1t they did things that might change
-m.sfortune fever volcanic eruptions or the god
OF rain.
They realize that there was use in appealing
TO death, the Great Adventure.
An exceptional story IS told by Rev G. Maurice
Elliot English clergyman His wife was H. Doctors
agreed that operation was necessary. though it
might not save her.
Says Rev. Elliot I'm our distress we both
prayed God that He send an angel 10 guide
us Our prayer was answered One night the angel
and told us that my wife could be cured with
out an operation. We were overtoyed and made an
appointment with The angel at the Brighton rail-
way station where he promised TO lead us to a
doctor that could help"
Elots story Is that ne and his wife Travelled 20
Brighton, found the angel awaiting them. and were
directed 20 hotel where they met an eminent
physician from London. who said that no operation
was necessary Mrs. Elliot has completely recovered
her health.
This a remarkable story. II emphasizes that
many and women OF IN abiding faith and with
a definite idea OF the hereafter SIN live in this
year 1921.
