A hearing was held before the
Recorder at Hamlet last Friday
morning in the Milliken homi-
eide case. After hearing the
evidence the Recorder dismissed
the case and released the two
Millikens and Jim Smith.

a few minutes later, Mrs Mill
ken told him that MCGEE had
started into the house at her with
a brick and that she had fired.
A few days after the homicide,
the two Millikens and a young
white man, James Smith, were
ARRESTED, charged with the kill
ing. The hearing before the Re
corder followed, and all three
were discharged. AS to whether
anything further will develop,
and any Grand Jury investiga-
ton, is not yet known.

and H. S. Boggan for Smith.
VIM. Pittman and Wade Sanders

1t was expected that the Nc
Lendon revival would draw big
crowds, but this expectation was
surpassed in the attendance on
the opening service last Sunday
afternoon. The huge tent was
practically filled, despite the
sweltering heat. Fully 1000 peo,
pie were massed to hear the
great revivalist launch his stir
ring message on "Revivals."
The tent is pitched on the
square between Robertson and
LeGrand streets. Nearby is the
Everett park, and on the edge of
this park has been erected a
small tent, in which are cots,
wash basins, mirrows, water and
adjoining is a toilet. This has
been put up for the convenience
and comfort of the women who
attend the revival. They can
bring their babies there and rest.
Each of the Rocking ham
churches will take turn about in
looking after this tent.
A good job was made inselect-
ing a site for the big tent and in
preparing the ground. 1t was
graded so that a gentle slope was
secured, affording every seat a
clear view of the platform. Be-
hind the platform is a stage seat
