Called Off.
Owing to unavoidable circum
stances the Sunday School Con
vention which was to have been
held in Madison May 2nd and 3rd,
has been called off by President
George Haines, ot Augusta.
This convention was to have
been held in the interests of the
Sunday Schools of Clarke, Ogle¬
thorpe, Greene, Putnam, Jasper,
Walton and Oconee coun¬
ties, irrespective of denomination¬
lines.
Owing to the fact that the Geor¬
Sunday School Association has
the State into fifteen
and is holding ctnven
tious in each district this year, the
undertaking is immense, and the
work required more time than the
officers of the State Association
coitld give to the work. Hence the
convention for the 10 th district
called oil.

UNION SERVICES CLOSED.
Rev. Bachman Preached Many
Able Sermons-—Much Good
Was Accomplished.
The union, evangelistic cam
paign was brought to a close Jast
night. The meetings began Sun¬
day morning, April 9th. Rev.
Nathan Bachman, a distinguished
Presbyterian revivalist, of Sweet¬
water, Tenn., has been directing
the series of services at the Meth¬
odist church, preaching twice each
day to large congregations.
From the beginning of the meet¬
ing great interest has been mani¬
fested and splendid results ob¬
tained. About seventy-five per¬
sons, who were not church mem
hers, have signed cards saying: “I
desire, henceforth, to lead a Chris
tian life. » f These will doubtless
Connect thetnselves with the dif¬
ferent churches of the city at the
‘.rst opportunity. In signing the
cards, each one stated the church
in which membership was desired.
The sermons of Mr. Bachman
were, for the most part, directed
to professed Christians ; and even
had he not been able to reach any
outside the church, the work he
did in waking up church members
to a sense of their duty would have
been considered ample reward for
his efforts. The forcible and elo
quent manner in which he pre
senti'd the truths of the Bible will
hi. loig n.i.i.t,,. •

POSSE CHASING NEGROES.
Slayers of Cranford Are Fleeing
from Scene of Crime.
A coroner’s jury has investigated
16 * i ^ llll “ ° ! K*lsey Cranford in
Morgan county, near
i Saturday night, and warrants have
been issued for the arreft ot .lack
1 ^ ee ’ ^ ola ' e M'tch**ll, John Rus¬
sell and Ed S'aughter, four young
negroes, charging them with the
crime.
1 he negroes remained in hilling
near the scene ot the murder until
Monday night, when, upon hear¬
ing threats of lynching, they left
for other parts. Officers started
Tuesday morning in pursuit'of <h
fugitives; a large number of citi¬
zens joining in the chase.
The report that the Cranford
boys were ambushed while walking
along the puolic road proves t ,(>
have been a mistake. The killing
occurred at the house of Jack B een,
which is on the plantation of Ron
Eason, about. 2 miles from Brough¬
ton. Kelsey Cranford, in com¬
pany with his brother Walter, J. C
.
Cheney, a brother-in-law, and a
Mr. King, lute Saturday evening
went to Beeu’s house.
Been and his three associates
came out of the house ana a quar
rel ensued, when the shooting oc¬
curred.
