Flynt, Atlanta: At the rqgular Sunday morning service, Aug. 23, 1908, there was brought to the attention of the Jackson Methodist church the question of the present convict lease system; whereupon, the congregation en tered its emphatic protest against the present lease system as un just and unrighteous, and wholly out of keeping with the dignity, the wisdom and the compassion of a Christian commonwealth, and urged by unanimous voice that the stain be speedily re moved from our State. At the same time and place at tention was called to the fact that our prohibition law is being flagrantly violated and defeated through the licensing of the man ufacture and sale of so-called “near beer.” And since the Governor has called the legislature in extra ordinary session to consider these measures, therefore, be it Resolved, Ist. That we earn estly request our senator and representative, the Honorable J. J. Flynt and S. M. Mays to lend their influence toward the abol ishment of the present lease system, and secure such pro vision for our convicts as will comport with the wisdom and compassion of a great Christian commonwealth. 2. We urge upon our senator and representative to use all their powers to guard the present prohibition law; and to further strengthen that law by the en actment of such legislation as will prohibit the manufacture and sale of “near beer.” 3. That these resolutions be duly forwarded to our senator and representative, and be pub lished in our county papers. S. P. Wiggins, Pastor. J. W. Crum, J. L. Lyons, Committee. ALL DAY SINGING.

GILES GETS TWO YEARS; MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL “Involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act” was the verdict returned against Searcy Giles charged with the murder of Elbert Thompson. Judge Reagan passed sentence of two years in the penitentiary. Motion for anew trial is pend ing and will be heard in Decem ber. Giles is out on bond. The defense was represented by Threatt Moore, Y. A. Wright and A. W. Lane, of Macon. Both sides fought hard for the verdict, but the trial was conducted in such a manner to arouse as little bitterness of feeling as possible which usually accomp anies such cases. Four murder cases are dock eted for the adjourned term. NOTICE.
