' Hail, Glorious Day.”
The cantata proper is divided into
three parts. In part T the Resurrec
tion is foreshadowed, the verse being

* the empty sepulchre, where the women
came with loving hands, bringing
spices to anoint their Lord, and find
the empty tomb.

Lord is proclaimed and the songs of
victory over death and the glory of

SAM SMALL MADE
SPEECH Al COURT
HOUSE SATURDAY
Sam W. Small, the newspaper man,
the preacher and the temperance ora
tor, in accordance with advance notice
ppoke in the court house in this city
Saturday afternoon.
A fair audience greeted him and
paid marked attention to his red hot
shots at the demon rum and the whis
key traffic. His theme was “law and
order in Georgia,” and to say he handl
ed his subject in a masterful manner
would but faintly express it.
Taking up the question of “personal
liberty,” Dr. Small handled it in a
most unusual manner. With the bit
terest and most telling sort of sar
casm, he convincingly disputed the
right of any man’s “personal rights.”
to sell liquor to the detriment of his
fellow man.
As to State Rights.
State’s rights was one of the main
issues that brought about secession,
the speaker declared. Yet, today, the
people of the South were the most
ardent for national prohibition. The
(reason for this lies in the fact that no
matter how stringent a prohibition law
is passed by any state of the Union,
Uncle Sam will continue to sell cit
izens of those states internal revenue
license and also permit interstate
'Shipment of liquor.
National Prohibition Sure-
National prohibition by 1920 is the
belief of Dr. Small, who says the anti
liquor ranks in Congress are growing
larger and larger every year, with the
outlook bright for a clean sweep* for
this question before the close of the
present decade.
Dr. G. W. Eichelberger, who is ex
ecutive secretary of the Georgia Anti-
Saloon League, is accompanying Dr.
Small on this tour of the state. He
preceded Dr. Small and briefly out
lined the work of the State organiza
tion, and told of the magnificent work
it has accomplished since its re-org
anization, some eighteen months ago.
The speakers were introduced by
Dr. J. A. Thomas, pastor of the First
Methodist church, in his usual happy
manner.
NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER
ON RYLANDER FARM
Lige Clark killed Frank Hayes Fri
day night. The crime was committed
on the Rylander-Allen farm about four
miles from the city. Both were ne
groes, and the news of the killing
was brought to the city and reported
to Sheriff Harvey by Frank Barker,
overseer of the farm.
Sheriff Harvey and Deputy Bob
Price were soon on the scene, and in a
short time had the murderer in cus
tody and soon lodged in the county
jail.
The cause of the crime is not
known, but the actual killing seems to
have been without provocation.
U.S. NOTE IS IN

quests for further information on cer
tain points, according: to the Lokal

MEXICAN STRIFE
IN BALANCE FOR
TURN DE AFFAIRS
EL PASO, Tex.,. April 22. —A troop
train left Juarez today with several
hundred Carranza troops, for Casas
Grandes, which Mexican officials said
were sent to replace troops sent to
Madere.
Pending a report from General Scott
v. ho is now at San Antonio, to the war
department, there is lull in the alarm
ists’ ranks. These now admit that
Villa's prestige has been broken.
The alleged spread of the Felix Diaz
revolutionary movement in northern
Mexico is now attracting considerable
attention, and the frequent movement
of Carranza troops is believed to have
a bearing on this statement. It is re
* ported here that efforts have been
i made to tamper with the loyalty of
| Carranza commanders.
Troops to Be Withdrawn.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 22.—Ear
ly today it was said Secretary Baker
I should have a report from General
j Hugh L. Scott before night, and this
! report may assist the administration
to decide what to do with the expedl
. tion now in Mexico.
General Scott conferred with Fun
ston and many lesser army officers un
til late last night. The difficulties sur
rounding the sending of supplies to
Pershing's column and other matter
were outlined to the chief of staff and
new’ routing of communications dis
cussed. The battle of Parral was also
reviewed at legnth.
The pursuit of Villa remained prac
tically at a standstill all day Friday,
ard the impression is gainging
strength at army headquarters hce
that the troops wil soon be ordered
withdrawn.

make it compulsory for every man at

reason the local company is anxious
to secure a number of recruits and
bring them within the law.
