BENNET CONYERS HONORED.
Mr. J. Bennett Conyers, who this
J ear completed his course at the Uni
versity, had the honor of represent
ing the Demosthenian Literary So
c!ety at the anniversary exercises
which were held in Athens, Saturday
night:
The rival society, Phi Kappa, was
represented by Clark Howell, Jr., of
Atlanta, and both speeches were splen
did efforts.
Mr. Conyers’ subject was "The Ob
-1 nations of an Education and a Plea
Mr Men,” and his conclusion was:
“The world needs educated men,
strong men, men of ingenuity, to take
charge of the affairs of state and of
the nation, and of the welfare of man
hind in general. Men of such greater
'muds are absolutely necessary, in
' rder to hold up the standard of the
"orld and to instill into posterity the
desire for knowledge and the thirst
for wisdom. The age in which we live
so far in advance of the past ages
that the child of 15 years old knows
things that were entirely unknown to
too wisest men of the olden times.
"The demand of the times is for men
of brains, men of thought, men of
character, men of genius. The course
•M an education in future years must
on to turn out men for the state, not
toon for themselves alone, but men
strong enough not to think for them
selves alone, but to think for others.”
Tuesday being St. Mathias' Day,
here was a celebration of the holv
communion at the Episcopalian church

“HOME PARER FOR HOME PEOPLE”
CARTERSVILLE, GA., FEBRUARY 2(i, 1914
SUPREME COURT
REFUSES REHEARING
Frank, Under Sentence of
Death, Loses Chance to
Have Case Re-argued.
Atlanta. Ga., February 25. — M.
Frank Wednesday was denied a re
hearing before the Supreme Court of
Georgia on his appeal from the decis
ion of Judge L. S. Roan, who last Oc
tober refused him anew trial. The
vote of the Supreme Court justice
was unanimous.
Frank's attorneys, Luther Z. Ros
ser and Reuben R. Arnold, went into
immediate conference to determine
their next step, which is expected t
to an extraordinary motion filed in'
the court of Judge Ben Hill a Jung
for anew trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence.
Mr. Rosser was not ready to say
Wednesday when this motion would
h.> submitted.
Tt will be based in part on the sen
sational statement of Dr. H. F. Har
rs, made six months after the close
of Frank’s trial, that the hair found
on a lathe on the second floor of th.
pencil factory was not Mary PhaganL
hair; the repudiation of his testimony
by the negro Albert McKnight, and the
charges of Mrs. Mima Formby tha
her affidavit against Frank was a
“irame-up.”
Ten days is required for the dec s
ion of the Supreme Court, rendered
a week ago Tuesday, to become the
opinion of the lower court. Solicitor
Dorsey plans to ask for the resentenc
ing of Frank within a day or two
after the remittitur is sent down by
th- Supreme Court. He will sue out
a writ of habeas corpus to bring Frank
tetore Judge Hill, and - then will ask
that the death penalty be renewed.
The immediate filing of an extraor
dinary motion for anew trial will
have the effect of delaying, at least
for the present, this action on the
part of the solicitor.
High Court’s Ruling.
The Supreme Court's ruling read:
Frank versus State.
On motion for a rehearing.
The motion for anew trial contain
t>'! 103 grounds. To have discussed
each of them separately would 'have
unduly prolonged an opinion already
necessarily of considerable length
So likewise to deal with each of the
grounds of the application for a re
hearing in detail would serve no use
nil purpose. Suffice it to say that the
natter set out in the motion for a re
hearing was not overlooked in making
the decision, but was carefully con
sidered and passed upon, though ak
r- r them were not discussed at length
While the difference of opinion among
| the members of the court as to cer
tain questions, which appears from
ti e opinion and the dissenting opin
ion, still exists, the court is unani
| mens in overruling the application for
j a rehearing,
i .Motion overruled.
G. L. ALLISON DIES

died Wednesday night after an Lines ;
of mere than a year.

injuries last year which doubtless
brought about his death. He has b e i
a great sufferer ever since his acci
dent but the bravery and fortitude
shown was a marvel to all who knew
the intensity of his pain while the
ki ldness, courtesy and consideration
mr all who volunteered to aid him in

and manhood.

TAX RETURNS
151 BE MADE
Citizens Warned Against
Failure to Return Proper
ty Before May 1 st.
Important to the tax payers is the
knowledge that they must make thei' -
fa' returns this year promptly tc the
tax receiver.
Heretofore tax payers have been al
lowed a longer length of time within
v* Inch to make their tax return . and
(.veil then the tax receiver has been
lenient in as many instances as hr
cod’d possibly be and yet perform the
duties of his office. But now the order
changeth.
By the new tax law all persons must
make their state and county tax re
turns to the tax receiver in proper
form by the first day of May r* th“
year for which taxes are being return
ed. Not only is this so, but if the tax
payer fails to make his return by such
date he is automatically doubly as
sessed and the tax receiver has no
discretion in the premises concern
ing it whatever.
In other words, if the tax payer fails
to make his return by May first he
will be compelled to pay taxer, on
double the amount of property he owns
returns for taxation.
It is well 'that the people of the
county bear this in mind and The
k T’ibune wants every tax paying citi
:eu in Bartow county to understand
I taut the law is now such that if a tax
paver fails to make his return by May
first, he will be doubly assessed and
will have no one to blame for it but
himself for the reason that th? tax
ii-ceiver could not help him even
F.oigh he desired to do so.
The tax receiver keeps standing in
Tiie columns of The Tribune an ad
• •••‘iisenient showing where he will
V from now no until the close ot the
set for his receiving returns, it
will be both convenient for the tax
paver and the tax receiver as well to
bear these dates in mind or to refer
to them constantly so that he can
keep in touch with the movements of
the tax receiver. It will be better sti'
it ihe tax payer would prepare his
tax return at once and hand it m t .
the tax receiver at the first opportu
nity. This will save all possibility of
being doubly assessed and consequent
costs, and even though anv other au
thority does nave the right to reduce
it, it would take time and trouble and
perhaps the employment of a lawyer
to do it, and time and lawyers are
both sometimes expensive.
The tax receiver, W. T. Pittaru, is
coil g his duty in the premises and is
seeking to let everybody know the
terms of the law so that none of his
constituents will suffer any loss by
reason of tlie change in the iiiw

Stanley West, of Valdosta, one of t!he
test-known men in the state, to fill
the unexpired term of the late Senator
A. O. Bacon, whose death occurred in
Washington, February 14.
Present at the time Governor Slator
made his announcement were the rep
resentatives of the three local papers

governor; Charles Davis, state ganm;
warden; A. H. Ulm, executive secre
tary, and Tom Conner, registration
clerk.
Colonel West was at the Winecoff
hotel and was told of the appointment
by telephone.
Governor Slaton did not write anv

saw that the newspapers were all rep
resented and spoke one word:
‘•West!”
In an instant the news traveled
throughout the capitol find was flash
ed to all parts of the city by telephone.
Commencing on the appointment,
Governor Slaton said:
“It was only a moment ago that y

u i to five minutes ago I was free to
change my mind. I had told no one
of my intention.”
Colonel West was naturally grati
fied when he heard the news of hi
-appointment.
HON. W. A. DODD
HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED.
Representative W. A. Dodd, of Bar
J tow county, is in Atlanta for a day
j so on business.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon Mr. Dodd io be
a candidate to succeed himself, but
so far he has not said definitely what
he will do. If he runs again, he will be
elected without opposition.
Bn far as the members o& the pres
ent house are concerned, it wdl be
the unanimous hope that Mr. Dodd
come back. He is one of the qu.eter
men of the legislature, blit one of t ie
g( Utiinely influential. He is thorough

FRANCIS E. WILLARD
MEMORIAL SERVICE
Interesting Service was held
at Presbyterian Church
Sunday Evening,
An interesting memorial service i'i
honor of Francis E. Willard was held
at the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening. An exceedingly large audi
ence assembled to do honor to the
memory "of Miss Willard and the ad
dresses and music were of the highest
order.
Dr. G. L. L. Gordon delivered an ad
dress in which he paid fine tribute to
Miss Williard, having known her in
I'te and greatly valued her wo ; k in
the cause of temperance. He referred
b. the pending proposal to so amend
t.ie American constitution as to pro
hibit the sale of liquors throughout
tiie United States, its territories and
colonies. This amendment to be adopt
ed requires a favorable action of the
legislatures of three-fourths of the
states. The amendment was proposed
by Hon. Richard Pierson Hobson, of
Alabama. Dr. Gordon considered this
proposal as itself a great monument
1 > the memory of Miss Williard.
Mrs. Lem Gilreath followed with an
address which was largely a personal
tribute to and biography of Miss Wil
li.id’s life. Mrs. Gilreath beautifully
portrayed the young life, the school
life and the mature life of Miss Wil
lard. Her choice of language and her
manner of delivery and treatment of
her subject was of the highest order
and won the admiration and held the
ii terest of all present throughout her
speech. She presented Miss Willard
as an ordinary and average young
girl with the same average inclina
t'ous, but who upon being made to
s*.e life in its largeness, so developed
her own so as to cause her to be o!
service to the entire civilized world
and to have won personally the ad
i . ration of kings and queens as well
as those of every other station in life.
Rev. W. T. Hunnicntt then explain
ed the purpose of an offering which
v as collected.
The choir rendered a number c f '
beautiful and appropriate hymns and
.A r. John A. Miller and Mrs. A. S
Dickey sang solos with rare sweet
ness and power.
These memorial services in honor
of Miss Willard are held througbou
tae land annually and themselves
show what a hold on the people and
how w'ell her work in behalf of tem
perance is regarded.
