Southern Baptist
Educators Divided
On Seminary Question

DANFILLE, Va, March ga di-
vision has arisen in the ranks of
southern Baptist educators on the
question of building a three-million-
dollar seminary in southern terri
tory, according to the Rev. J. M.
Shelburne, D. D., chairman of the
commission appointed to make rec
concentrations on the subject at the
next annual convention.
DR.. Shelburne returned today
from conferences with leading Bap-
fist educators and ministers in sew
eral southern states. He said he
found one group IN favor of estab,
fishing the seminary while another
deemed the expenditure at this time
imprudent and favored strengthen
ing the chairs of religious educa'
ton in Baptist institutions already
in operation.
DR.. Shelburne said it was prob
able his committee would make no
definite recommendation to the con.
Vention.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

is a still on every branch in the
county" 1 am privileged to say.
just here, that this lawlessness is
disgracing the, state of Georgia. The
stills are being raided constantly,
The bootleggers are continually
brought to trail-and the fines are
so light that the people who are be-
hing these men are willing to pay
the fines and continue pursuing the
trade in booze. The idea prevails
all over this section-and 1 am told
in other sections-that this making
of illicit liquor is not apparently
checked at all.
The government seems to be per-
fectly helpless before the methods of
these bootleggers who are carrying
on the business. Where one is
caught. dozens get by with it, 1t is
mean stuff-and will burn out the
bottom of the copper still in due
time, much more the stomach of a
human being. 1t goes without say
ing that better plans must be en-
ployed and more law-abiding officials
put in charge of the suppression.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Here comes boy from the "Volun-
teer STATE" begging for admittance
into your happy circle. have been
a silent reader of the Letter Box
for several years and l sure do like
to read the letters of the cousins
in The Journal.
L live among the ~ of East Ten
nessee, near the town of Greeneville,
which was once the home of Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson, and where hrs
body now lies buried. Greeneville
is one of the largest tobacco markets
in this part of the country.
I wonder what you all are doing
this cold night. I am sitting by the
fire and studying my lessons for
tomorrow. go to schooi at Cedar
Creek and am in the eleventh grade.
How do you cousins like to play
basketball? I do and think it is
great sport. 1t . furnishes a great
amount of exercise which we need
to make our bodies healthy and
strong. I am fond of reading good
books.
Who has my birthday, February
%? I will leave my age for you to
guess, it is between seventeen and
twenty.
Any of the cousins who care to,
write to me, do so and l will assure
you an answer. Your new cousin,

Liquor Gang Killing, !
Theory in Flonda's
New Murder Mystery

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 81.
The theory that an unidentified man.
whose body was found Friday after
noon on the banks of Cedar creek,
several miles from Jacksonville, had
run afou1 Of moonshiners, and had
been slain by them was advanced
last night by county officers.
The body, with a knife wound in
both sides of the neck, was discov-
cred by two cancers. No weapon
was found and the fact that $3.50
and a watch were in the pockets
caused the theories of suicide and
murder for robbery to be discarded.
The man apparently had been dead
two or three days.

DEAR CHILDREN:

DEAR CHILDREN:
hope you had a very happy East
er, and that your days was full of sun
shine; that if you had new spring
dress you wore it and enjoyed it;
that if you did not, you were big
enough in spirit to go right along
to church and not mind a bit.
1t is mighty nice to have new
toys for Easter, but that is not the
main though for the season. If we
will let our minds dwell on the great
promise of the Resurrection, every
thing will seem so wonderful, and
the future so bright that the matter
of clothes will count but little.
Can't we get close together here,
our own band of cousins, and prom
Use ourselves in our hearts that we
will make ourselves worthy of the
suffering that our dear Lord bore
that we might be saved. While we
are young is the time to take ac-
count of our souls.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA,

Seek Pardon for Priest Life
Prisoner at States Prison

1t is understood that petitions are
being circulated for signers who are
interested in the pardon of Willis
NJ. Priest of Milo, who was SEN
fenced for life in the States prison
for the murder Of George Herbert,
which occurred in 1915. While there
are many in the county who are in
favor CT the pardon, there are many
others who are bitterly against It.
The murder, as the State claimed it
was at the time of the trial, was one
of the most cruel in the history of the
county, and although the defence put
up a strong argument on the grounds
of selft defense, they were unable to
break down the strong case as pre-
scented by James Hudson. who was
county attorneys at the time.
The crime was committed March
16, 1915, in the camp of the old her
nit Herbert at Schoodick lake, and
I the State claimed that the motive
was robbery, but that 1t terminated
into murder. The State claimed that
