TELLS GRADUATES WHY
‘SHOULD OBEY GOD'S WILL
Macon, June s—Rev. Henry Alford
Porter, pastor of the Second Baptist
church, of Atlanta, delivered the an
nual commencement sermon to the
students of Mercer university yester
day morning at the First Baptist
church, choosing as his text: “The
things that are seen are temporal;
things that are unseen are eternal,”
and his subject, “The Tllingi That
Last.”
The church was filled to capacity
and hundreds listened with interest
as the preacher explained_ why men
should obey the word of God and why
they should live for the external or
“the things that last,” instead of for
the life on earth or the things that
do not last.
Before and after the sermon an ex
ceptional musical pregram was carried
out.
Mr. Porter is one of the most wide
ly known ministers of the south, and
is well known also for his eloquence
and forcefulness of speech.

iNCENDIARY FIRES NEARLY
<x/ROUBLED, REFORFG'JOYNER
Atlanta, June s.—State Fire Inspec
tor W. R. Joyner, in his annual re
port to the ,insurance departmenti
submitted today, shows that during
the year just ended there has been
nearly twice as many incendiary fires
in Georgia as during the previous,year.
He says: .
“As state fire inspector, I have, dur
ing the year 1915, made 101 investi
gations of suspicious fires as against
60 during the year 1914. I have had
a number of persons arrested, charg
ing them with arson. Six have been
convicted on that charge and are now
serving time in the penitentiary, and
twenty-five other true bills have been
returned by grand juries over the
state, and are now in the hands of
proper officials for trials in the near
future. Most of the accused parties
are out under bond, but several are in
jail.”

SCHOOL HEAD RESIGNS
BECAUSE OF FRICTION
Thomasville, June 4.—Superinten
dent James A. Duncan, of the Thom
asville public schools, has sent to the
hoard of education his resignation, to
take effect at once. This came as a
sruprise to the public and is Tegretted.
He gave as his reason friction between
himself and a majority of the bhoard
members.
1t had been known that one or two
members opposed the superintendent
in some of his measures, but as the
majority were with him as well as the
general public, it was hoped that any
trouble would be obviated. During
the four years that Mr. Duncan has
been superintendent, the scheol has
been raised from a class 2 school to
a class 1 and i 3 on the southern list
of accredited school§.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1916.
H. W. MILLER DIDN'T HAVE USE
OF RIGHT ARM FOR YEARS—
GAINS 13 POUNDS ON TANLAC.
“I am 70 years old and hadn't been
able to strike a lick of work for over
14 years until I got to, taking, this
Tanlac medicine,” said Mr. H. W. Mil
ler, at Jacobs’ Pharmacy, Saturday.
“Fcurteen years ago I had a terrible
spell of typhoid fever and since that
time I hadn’t been able to use my right
arm to do any good. It felt weak and
and numb and I had no strength in it,
but I didn’t get Tanlac for this trou
ble, as I had not idea I would ever be
able to use it again.
" “I bought it for kidney trouble, rheu
matism and pains in my back. Well,
it relieved me of these troubles alright,
but, strange to say it helped my arm,
too. Yes sir, it has actually made my
arm so much better that I can now do
a lot of work—something I hadn’t
been able to do in these years. I don’t
know how to account for it but that's
what actually happened, and all myl
neighbors who have known me for
years will tell you the same thing.
“Going back to my old trouble, I
suffered a great deal from my back
and joints, and was so nervous all the
time I couldn’t sleep much. Some
times I would get so nervous and
strung-up that the least noise would
almost make me jump out of bed be-!
“ore I could control myself. ]
“My stomach: was all out of shape,
too, and I couldn’t eat to do any good.
Nothing seemed to taste right, and I
got so finally I would have vomiting
spells after trying to eat. To tell you
the truth I was in a mighty bad fix and
was just getting weaker and weaker
all the time. I don't feel that way
now and after taking only three bot
tles of Tanlac, I have gained 13 pounds
‘n weight, besides my stomach feels
just Hke I'had a,pew one put in, and
I eat and sleep | 'L like a school boy.
The rheumatic piins are all gone, and
1 am feeling beftdr and stronger in ev
ery way. ’%I :
“It has helpefi_ e wife, too. She is
noW on her seconfl bottle, and it is do
irg;;ffi’er more goodl than anything she
has tried in ye She was in almost
asibad a fix as il was and it has re
lieved her of ailments she has had for
a long time. Beth of us think there
is nothing toomfl to say about Tan

bodyj-is talking 3 out it.”

FATE OF “FRATS” RESTS
i WITH ERCER TRUSTEES
Macon, June 5-~—The much discuss
ad question of whether or not Greek
letler societies shall be ousted from
Mercer university, as demanded by the
non-fraternity men, will probably be‘
determined at the meeting of the hoard
of trustees of the university. The trus
tees have been instructed by the Bap
¢ist convention of Georgia to inves
tigate the matter and report as to the
best course to pursue.
The sessions of the trustees will be
behind closed doors and the only infor
mation obtainable about what trans
pires will be what the trustees care to
give out. It is understood that repre
sentatives of both sides of the ques
tion will be called before the trustees
to give their views.
‘During the past week a so-called com
promise drawn up by the faculty was
submitted to the student body at chap
el meeting, and later at a meeting of
the non-fraternity organization the
compromise measurc was unanimous
ty rejected on the ground that the is
sues were evaded and the compromise
was in reality not a compromise at all.
