DEATH STRIKES
CLOSE TO ALTAR.
Well Known Methodist Minister,
is Suddenly Stricken at Mon¬
roe Baptist Church.
Monore, Ga., September 17.—
(Special.) \\ bile sitting in a pew
so close to the alter that he could
have reached out and touched it,
the Rev. William F. Robinson,
pastor of the Methodist church,
of Mouroe, Ga., died suddenly this
morning in the Baptist church at
Monroe.
The peculiary tragic death of the
Rev. Mr. Robinson, attended as it
was by such unusual circumstances,
caused widespread sorrow and com¬
ment.
The Rev. Mr. Robinson was well
known all over Georgia, and the
details of his death will be read
with sorrowful interest by the
thousands who knew him.
Mr. Robinson had been ill for
two weeks, This morning lie
thought he was sufficiently recov¬
ered to occupy his pulpit in the
Monroe Methodist church. When
he had arrived at the church and
was about to announce his 9ermon,
Mr. Robinson realized, however,
that he was too ill to preach, and
telling his congregation of his
condition, dismissed them. Mr.
Robinson still not realizing how ill
he was, when he left his church
with his wife, said to her that he
would go to the Baptist and hear
the sermon there.
Mr. Robinson, upon entering the
Baptist church, left his wife, and
accepting the invitation of the
usher, took a seat closer to the pul¬
pit than the one Mrs. Robinson
had chosen.
WAS PREPARING TO PRAY.
The first hymns had been sung,
the pastor was preparing to offer
the opening prayer, the congrega¬
tion were in the act of kneeling,
when some one noticed that Mr.
Robinson, who was among the first
to bow his head, was looking
strangely pale. Those near Mr.
Robinson hastened to him imme¬
diately, but just as the aged miu
ister’s head touched the rail of the
pew in front of him, he gasped and
died.
Telegrams were sent to the Rev.
Walter Robinson, a son of the
dead minister, who has charge of
the Methodist church of Cornelia,
Ga., to Mr. Charles Robinson, an¬
other son in this city, and to Mrs
Robert Hobdy, a daughter, also of
this city, notifying them of the
sudden death of their father.
WAS GREATLY BELOVED*
Mr. Robinson was greatly be¬
loved by every one who knew him,
and for years had been prominent
in the affairs of the North Georgia
conference of the Methodist
church. Indeod, as an Atlantian
who knew him, said last night,
"He was like the Disciple John,
always tiying to keep down strife
and troublo.”
Mr. Robinson was about sixty
married .
five years of age. He was
u early life to Miss Tudie Stone,
of Oxford, Ga. Of this union
three children were born. They
were Mrs. Mary Hobdy and Charles
Robinson, of this city, and the
Rev. Walter Robinson, of Corne
lia, Ga., who, like his father, en
tered the ministry cf tho Metho
dist church early in life.
Besides the widow and children,
Mr. Robinson is survived by his
brother, Mr. Robinson, of Jackson,
Ga., and a sister-in-law, Mrs. H.
E. \V. Palmer, of this cit conduc ?- ed
The funeral wdl be
from Mr. Robinson’s late churcli
in Monroe, Ga. The interment will
take place Tuesday in Oxford, Ga.

SUPERIOR COURT CONVENES.
Both Civil and Criminal Dockets
JVery Heavy—Court Will
Last Two Weeks.
Newton Superior Court was call¬
ed to order Monday morning at
9:30 by Judge L. S. Roan. Solici¬
tor Howard, Stenographer Nichols,
Clerk Davis and Sheriff Hay were
all on hand and promptly assisted
in expediting business.
1 he first business was to empati
nell the grand jury. Judge J. W.
Branham was elected foreman and
R. R. Fowler clerk. Mr. H. H.
Armstrong was delegated bailiff to
the grand jury.
The following men were sworn
in as grand jurois:
J. W. Branham, foreman, J. B.
Epps, S. R. Ellington, T. G.
Aiken, G. T. Smith, R. R. Fowler
W. B. Livingston, G. Q. Livings¬
ton, W. R. King, T. T. Sullivan,
J. B. Davis, Jr., E. L. Jackson, S.
S. Starr, M. C. Davis, A. J. Bel¬
cher, C. U. Skinner, J. C. Stewart
W. M. Hoard, I. W. Meador, O.
P. McCord, W. E. Harwell, A. S.
Floyd, W. P. Odum.
After the election of a foreman
Judge Roan began his charge and
i for an hour and a half the jury
and spectators listened to one of
the clearest, ablest and most forci¬
ble charges that Ilis Honor has
delivered from the bench.
The charge covered everything
that comes under the jurisdiction
of the grand jury and doubtless
they will be greatly aided in their
deliberations by the law and infor¬
mation as given them by Hi»
Honor. Judge Roan laid particu¬
lar stress upon the importance the
grand jury sustained to the com¬
munity and counseled them to keep
their deliberations secret.
H. H. Armstrong, J. R. Dobbs,
A. Willson, Samps Aiken, T. F.
Maddox and J. C. Nixon were
sworn in as court bailiffs.
For the first time in several
years more than one week will be
required to dispose of the civil and
criminal business. Both the civil
and criminal dockets are heavy,
the civil owing to heavy suits in
lands and contests over wills; the
criminal because of five murder
cases and a number of misdemea
nors.
