Governors Call for
Prayer Hit by Pastor

Atlanta, Sept. 14.-The use of a
states official seal to tell the people
when and how to pray is violation
of the fundamental principles of
Americanism and Christianity, DR.. M.
Ashby Jones, pastor of Ponce De
Leon Avenue Baptist Church, de-
clared in a sermon delivered last
night and published today. Jones
referred to the proclamation Cover
nor Walker issued, calling upon citi-
zens throughout the state to unite
in praying for break in the drought.
Prayers were delivered yesterday
and during the afternoon a heavy
rain fell here and elsewhere in the
South. He interpreted the proclama-
ton as meaning God had made a
mistake in causing the drought over
sections of the state and that He
must be invoked to correct the error
in conformance with the advice of
the Governor and persons who pc
titioned him to issue the document.

Will Celebrate $685.
Anniversary judaism

True to tradition, as recorded in Lee
viticus xx:24-25 and Numbersx-i, the
Jews of the world will celebrate the
1886 anniversary of the conversion
of Abraham to the ideal of one God,
upon which the leading religions of
the world today have based their
hope for a natural life. Judaism is
the oldest religion, recognizing a spi-
ritual God and had its birth with the
sacrificial offering of Isaac as record
ed in the old Testament. With some
slight changes and additions in ritu-
ais, the day has ben kept holy by the
Jews of the world and will be OBJ
served here by the closing of the
stores, operated by the Jewish mer-
chants, who will spend the day in
nearby cities, where Temples have
been established. Another holy day,
the day of Atonement, will be observ-
ed on Monday, September %, when
all of their stores will again be clos
ed. The day of Atonement is the
Hottest of Jewish Holidays, when
strict abstinence of food and drink
is made obligatory on the adult men,
bers of the Jewish faith.

MRS. LIZZIE MCCORMACK

The death of Mrs. Lizzie McCor-
mack occurred at her home on West
Pine street Friday evening. For sew
eral DAYS her condition was seen to
be more serious and two nurses were
in attendance till the end came. This
sad and lonely death followed many
wears of loneliness and suffering, the
most of which was spent in this same
home where she breathed her last.
Though for several years following
the death of her estimable husband,
VIM. Mccormack, in 1921, she made
an extended visit to her sisters in
Dayton, Ohio. For many years the
unfortunate woman has been bent
and tortured with rheumatism which
has kept her in a wheel chair and has
made her recluse and almost hostile
to human fellowship, especially since
the death of her devoted husband, OF
whom she was ever the object of
tender and patient care.
She was formerly an active worker
: in the Rebecca lodge and in early life
sustained a membership with the Bap-
fist church.
The couple were childless, though
one or more children may survive OF
Mr.. Mccormack previous marriage.
No relatives were called and brief
funeral service was conducted at her
home before the remains were
shipped to Ohio where they will be
inferred by the side of her husband.
Rev. C. R. Ware of the First M. E..
church officiated at the services and
quartet choir included Mrs. II. ..
Owens. Miss Myrtis Corley, Mr.. 1. N.
Frev and Mr.. Burr Stokoe. Mr.. Burr
Stokoe had charge of all arrange
ments, being the executor of the VIM.
Nc ormack estate and the very help
, full and considerable adviser of Mrs.
Me- ormack throughout her widow

LEE BROTHERS HAVE
EXCELLENT MENAGERIE
Will Show in Fitzgerald on Septem'
Der "a.

The remarkablea nd complete col
lection of trained wild animal actors,
comprising the most important spe-
cimens of zoology,a ssembled in the
wild beasts performance of Lee
Brothers Wild Animal Show, which
will exhibit in Fitzgerald on Septem
Der "a, has never been equaled in the
history of the world. No corner of
| the globe has ben considere too re-
mote to make this collection the most
unique on earth.
Chief among these wonderful crea-
lures is a hybrid lion-tiger, mag
inficent animal Of feline grace and
terrible power, with al the peculiari-
ties of both lion and tiger, but wear
! ing the tigers stripes upon the lions
skin. One of the most important
groups is composed Of two lions,
three Bengal tigers, with India leo
pards, two pumas, two enormous Po-
lear bears, and the singular hybrid
lion-tiger. Here, too, we are con-
fronted with the incredible spectacle
| of six different species and the afore-
mentioned remarkable inter1mixture
of two of them, each naturally the
instructive, implacable foe of the
others, and some them hitherto con-
sidered by the best masters of zoool-
ogy as wholly untamable, performing
together in colossal stell-girt arena,
which absolutely insures the safety
| of the public, there bearing toward
their trainer and one another being
as amiable and considerate as char
acterizes the intercourse of an as
semblage of human beings at So
soal function.
Imperceptibly directed by a single
trainer and of seemingly happy &C
cord and eager unity, these formerly
dreaded kings and queens of the
seething jungle, the bowling wilder
mes of the remote, inaccessible frozen
wilds of the poles build their sky
scraping pyramids, balance with skill
rivaling that of the human acrobat
upon barrels, play rollicking games
of see-saw; with courteous consider
alton for the luxurious comforts of
their masters form soft living couch
es of themselves and invite his con-
fidence by opening their terrible
blood-red mouths for the temporary
insertion of his trusting head.
1t would require pages to tell in
advance all the startling novelties in
troduced in Lee Brothes Wild Animal
Show, which, besides the many train
ed wild animal featuresfi has domes-
tics animals, vastly superior to any
organization now travelling.

Oscar Mars Surrenders
To His Brother

Oscar Mars, charged with the MUIR
der of his wife, whom he is alleged
to have shot to death in the evening
of July 26th, when riding in a car
with neighhors, surrendered to his
brother, when he had been located
by j. w. Scarboro, at cotton mill in
Monticello, Ark. Mars made his es-
cape again from his new location, ac-
cording to a wire received from the
City Marshal, shortly before the Mon
ticello officers went to the mill to
arrest him. 1t is thought Mars be-
gan to realize that he could not make
getaway and wired to his brother,
employed at the cotton here, to come
and meet him, as he would surrender
to him. 1t is said that this will Sc
cure for his brother the $500 reward
offered by Governor Walker for his
arrest and delivery to Sheriff Dormi-
ney. The two arrived in the city in
the car taken from here by Mars,
which he probably left somewhere
en- route and where his brother prob
ably met him to accompany him back
here.
Mars will be tried at the October
term of superior court here. Mr..
Scarboro received the congratulations
of many of the citizens for his valu-
able services in locating Mars, al
though the money reward may go to
his brother for the actual delivery
of the man.
