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 a 10:30 a. m.

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 WEDNESDAY NIGHT. G. L. Allison, son of M. A. Allison, died Wednesday night after an Lines ; of mere than a year. Mr. Allison was a voting man and vhile in the employ of the L. &.

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 DEATH OF MR.

Rea’ Heir ad. 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.
