Vests third-hand heart bid was, Of

North, glancing fondly At all his hoonr
cards, promptly doubled. When South
responded with . spade, North jumped
to a game enthusiastically . slight
overbid.
Careful play by declarer plus some
help by East were needed to make the
contract. West opened his doubleton
diamond. Declarer won with dummy's
king and led the queen Of hearts. He
planned to trump one heart in dummy
and discard . club on dummy's fourth
diamond. East now made the mistake
Of covering with the king. Had he
ducked, West would have won the trick
and played his other diamond and the
hand would then have been defeated,
since declarer. in order to prevent a
run, would have had to draw four
rounds Of trumps.
As 1t was, East, after winning the
first heart lead, returned heart and
West then played his other diamond.
Declarer refused the finesse, entered
his hand with the club ace and
trumped his remaining heart. He
then drew four rounds Of trumps, then
presented East with 4 diamond trick.

Charlie Speapes for AMP L. G.
(alias SAM Goodman calmly re-
ceived the sentence here Saturday
to die in the electric chair at the
state penitentiary at p. m. on
July 90 for the staying of Lew

City plantation owner.
Goodman who attended the State
Colored college at Orsngeburgi
is we'll known in this section. He
was convicted Thursday after a
speedy trial following an intense
search that lasted several days
bfore he was captured.
He surrendered to three white
farmrs q few days ago, and stated
that he shot Eliose Graham, a
Negro woman employed ON the
plantation, because she had re-
ported to Singletary that he was
not doing his share of work and
he tfeard that I would be order
ed off the plantation and would
lose my share of crops on about
20 acres of tobacco, cotton ard
corn lands" Goodman said that
after killing the woman, he shot
the plantation owner in self-de-
fense, as he was hiding in the
loft of Singetsry's barn when the
owrar entered armed with a
double -barrelled shot gun.
H said he fired his single-bar-
elled shot gun into Singletary's
gun, leaped from the rear win'-
dow and fled into the swamps
where he remained in hiding for
ten days. Goodman also stated, II
could have killed many men
while they were searching for me
in the swamps, but it was moi
my desire to do so. | made friends
with the bloodhounds many times,
and they followed me around like
puppies. At one time hound was
standing right in front of bush
behind which I was hiding when
the owner anne up ad called him
away"
The time is usually left to the
warden after the date is set, and
most executions occur early

the time for 5 p. m.

No one can gainsay that Joe
Louis met the greatest test in his
career in the most fortnight,
courageous and decisive manner
possible. There is no longer any

reasonable doubt that statement
of Christ the head of the Church,
imply exclusion or to turn men,
ber cut of the Church. Tell me
what Sin or evil can d Church
member do, or be guilty of that
would cause the present day
Churches to exclude him from the
Church. Baptist Churches use to
take in p. member for what he said
and turn him out for what sin he
committed. But now as a rule, we
dent turn them out regardless
to what sin they are guilty of,
or what offense they may COM
nit. Hence our Churches are like
the 'Dead Sea" have an outlet but
no outget. To rid our Churches of
sin and corruption there must be
an outlet in the Churches. That is
every Church exercise a strict,
instructive, and corrective disci-
plipe in tn Church. Lift up, and
teach the Scripture Standard of
righteousness, that God have set
for the Churches and have the
members to respect and obey
them by excluding from the,
Churches. Whenever our churches
exercise the courage, and the
faith in God, and begin to exclude
from their membership sinful, cor
rupted, ,and Unworthy members
from the church. God will bless
the church, and they will have the
presence Of the Tiune personality
Of God, and influnce over men.
Nowadays, Church members, and
preachers are saying, Let US not
correct this or that member for
their sinful way of living it will
tear the church up, and hinder
our money. The truth is the ma
jcrity of our churches should be
torn up and started over Tread

Manners
of the
Moment

IT'S always blow to a hostess
when some one steps into her par
lor and asks, as her opening curtain
line, May use your phone?" But
on the whole the hostess wouldn't
mind, except that it strikes her as
very odd that a person. hasn't trans
acted what business she had before
she arrived at the party. But when
the guest sits down placidly and says,
Long distance, please" the hostess
oringes. She had probably Just de-
cided yesterday to cut down on her
telephone bills.
Anyone knows that isn't quite fair
Yet what does anyone do about it?
Well, think it's time rules were
drawn up. It's game that can get
beyond control without rules. And
I'd say, first, that guests should try
to get their telephoning sdone before
they 60 calling. I'd say, second, that
If they have to telephone from their
friends homes they should wait for
a little time after they have arrived
before. asking for the privilege. And
Id say, third, that if thy must make
out-of-town calls they should leave
the cost of the call lying on the tele-
phone table without more ado. If
you ask hostess about paying, she'll
pooh, pooh you. And then she'll re-
sent you badly all the rest of the
month. But if you just leave the
money by the phone, that's that, and
she won't be able to do anything
about it. After all telephone bill is
one OF LIES minor tragedies.
