Frank's legal fight for life has taken a place among the celebrated murder cases of recent years. Seven times since this conviction in August, 1913, the lower and Supreme Courts of the Statu of Georgia refused to grant Frank a new trial or to set aside the verdict. Three times the sentence of death was passed upon him, and twice appeals were made to the United States Supreme Court, the first being unsuc cessful and the second resulting in the decision to-day. Soon after the first trial ended, the case came in for an agitation which spread all over the country. Mary I’hagan was murdered April 2(1, 1913, on a Southern holiday in ob servance of Confederate Memorial Day. Shortly afler noon of that day she wus seen to enter the pencil factory, in At lanta, where sho had been employed, and where she went to obtain wages due her. Her body was found next morn ing in the basement of the factory, with a cord tied about the neck. Loo M. Frank, a young Jew, a col lege graduate ami married, whose home had been in Brooklyn, N. Y., was superintendent, of the pencil factory. Three days after tho murder Frank wan arrested on suspicion, and on May 8 Frank and a negro watchman at the factory, Nowt Luo, were held by the coroner for the grand jury's action. Lee subsequently was released. Six teen days later Jim Conley, a negro sweeper at the factory, made a con fession to the police in which he ac cused Frank of having killed the I’ha- gan girl, and declared he had hclpod dispose of the body. Conley, who was ono of the chief witnesses for the Stale at Frank's trial, was convicted as an accessory after the murder in February, 1914, and sentenced to one year's im prisonment. He began his term last July. Frank was placed on trial in tho Superior Court, July 2.3. 1913, Judge L. S. Roan presiding. Judge Roan died March 23, 1915, in New York. A ver dict of guilty was returned August 2I>, Frank being sentenced to death. In his statement to the jury at the close of the trial Frank said he had seen Mary Phagan in his otUce in the fac tory a few minutes before the time the State contended she was murdered: that kc paid the girl her wages and that she left his ollice. The theory of the defense was that Conley, who was about the building when the girl in- tered, and who had been drinking, at tacked and killed the girl after she left Frank's office. In October, 1913, Frank's attorneys tiled a motion for new trial, alleging 103 errors in the admission of testi mony and conduct of the trial, and also charging that demonstrations by the crowd within and outside the court room during the trial had interfered with a fair verdict. Judge Roan de nied the motion and the Georgia Su preme Court affirmed his action Feb. 17, 1914. A motion for a rehearing of the uppeal was denied by the Supreme Court two weeks later. An extraordinary motion for a new- trial and a motion to set aside the ver dict were tiled simultaneously in the Supreme Court April 16, 1914. Among the grounds alleged in the motion for a new trial was that of newly-discovered evidence. The motion to set aside the verdict wus based on the ground that Frank’s Constitutional rights had been To Drive Out Malaria And Build Up The System Take the Old Standard GROVE S TASTELESS chill TONIC.

The Quinine drives out malaria, the Iron builds up the system. 50 cents violated by the trial court. His at torneys alleged that Frank had not been given a fair trial because of the ■‘spirit of mob violence that pervaded the court-room;” and also that his Con stitutional rights had been violated be cause Frank and his attorneys had been absent from the court-room, with out Frank's consent, when the verdict was returned. This absence, it was claimed, was at the request of the presiding Judge, who was quoted as saying he feared mob violrtice against Frank and his lawyers if a verdict of acquittal were returned. The extraordinary motion for a new trial was denied by the .Superior Court May fi. and the decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court Oct. 14. The Superior Court on June 6, 1914, dismissed the motion to set aside the verdict on Constitutional grounds, by sustaining the State's demurrer to the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed this action Nov. 14, 1914, and six days afterwards the Supreme Court re fused to certify a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court. To review that action, application was made first to Justice Lamar, then to Justice Holmes; and finally to the entire Supreme Court of the United States, for a writ of error. All held that the decision of tho Georgia Su preme Court could not he reviewed, be cause its action was based on grounds of procedure, namely: That the plea for setting aside the verdict should have been advanced at the time the motions for new trial were made. Application was made Dec. 19 to Judge Newman, of the Federal District Court for Northern Georgia, for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging Frank had been convicted without due process of law; that the trial court had lost jurisdiction over him during the trial because it was "dominated by a mob hostile to the prisoner,” and that Frank had been absent from the court-room when the verdict was returned. Two days later Judge Newman refused the writ of habeas corpus, holding that to grat t it would mean that n Federal Court should review the action of the Stute Courts in a manner not warranted by the laws of tho country, and that, too, after the Supreme Court of the United States had decided no Federal question remained for consideration in the case. Judge Newman also refused to issue a certificate of "probable cause" for appeal to the Supreme Court, but it was issued by Justice Unmar Dec. 28, and the case came to tho Supreme Court for review of Judge Newman's action, argument being made last February. On April 19 tho United States Su preme Court handed down an opinion sustaining Judgo Newman’s ruling and dismissing the case. Frank's lawyers then tiled a petition with the State Har den Board asking for a commutation of tho death sentence to life imprisonment, which is now pending. If the State Par don Board reaches a decision before the third Wednesday in June the petition for commutation of sentence will come before Gov. Slaton; if after that date it will come before Gov. Harris. NEWNAN'S REPLY Newnau Accepts tho Evidence and Many Newnan Readers Will Profit by it. Which is the more weighty proof— a few words from a Newnan resident, whom we know and respect, or vol umes from strangers in distant towns? There can be only one reply. Mrs. W. H. Sewell, Spence Ave. Newnan, says: "I suffered so from my hack that 1 could not get up when 1 whs down. 1 was always in misery and was so sore and lame that 1 could not do any work. I got up in the morn ing feeling more tired than the night before. Headaches nearly drove me mad and the kidney secretions caused me much annoyance. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from J. F. l.ee nrug Co., and they relieved the pains in my back and put mv kidneys in good order.

Appomattox finds the United States again with a Southern-born President. The present Chief-Justice of the United States Supreme Court was a pri- j vat" soldier in the Confederate army, and sitting beside him on the bench is an Associate Justice who was a captain in t he Union army. The Secretary of the Navy and the I Postmaster-General are from States that seceded an l s 61. The Secretary I of the Treasury and the Speaker of the ! House of Representatives were born in i Blave. States. The majority leader of the House is from the South, and the man who has just relinquished the majority leadership to enter the Sen ate is from a State among the first to leave the Union. Never did the wounds of a great civil war heal so rapidly as, did the wounds of the American conilict, and never did such terrible wounds leave so few scars. Everywhere throughout the country Robert E. Lee is recognized as the ideal of soldier-chivalry, without fear and without reproach. Everywhere Ulysses S. Grant is regarded as the em bodiment of democracy in war. It is possible that Lord Bryce was right when he said that a higher states manship might have averted the Civil War; but the reunited country, that followed so closely upon this great con flict, was the supreme expression of the political wisdom of the American peo ple. When the South accepted the result the hand of the North was stayed. Vast armies were immediately reabsorbed into the civil life of the country. The sound political instincts of the people rejected the radical pro posals to "make treason odious" by sending to prison or to the gallows men who had participated in the rebellion. Organized bloodshed ended with the war itself, and the radicalism that pur posed to follow war with a reign of terror was cheated of its prey. Appomattox decided slavery and secession; but it decided more. It de cided, in the words of Lincoln, "that among freedmen there can be no suc cessful appeal from the ballot to the bullet.” That is the immortal lesson of the Civil War. Upon that principle rests the whole structure of democracy and free institutions—upon it rests the Republic. Who Runs the Paper ? Dalian Now Era. In a neighboring county a clergyman took the editor of the local paper to task because the editor accepted a cer tain advertising contract. The good man forgot that for years the editor had given freely of his space to help the church; had printed columns of no tices of services, meetings, suppers, entertainments and lectures, all free. In donating this space the editor had given more than the equivalent of cash. He had given publicity, and thus had done more to support the church and pay the minister’s salary than any three members of the church had done. An editor has but two sources of in come, his subscription list and his space. Yet, in this case, when he sold his space he lost a subscriber. Of course, no one need subscribe to a pa per unless he wishes to do so, but no subscriber should want to dictate to the editor as to what he should publish. Many editors will not accept certain lines of advertising. Other editors can not afford, perhaps, to be so independ ent. Business conditions often govern these matters. A rich and prosperous Philadelphia weekly of national circulation for years declined the advertisements of cigar ette manufacturers. Business has fall en off lately for many of tho big maga- z nes. Now that paper is accepting cigarette advertising. Perhaps the ed itor needs the money, and who shall blame him if he sells his space to the American Tobacco Co.? Collier’s too, I we hear, is letting down the bars, just a little. That’s all right. Let them down a little further, so long as fakirs and grafters and swindlers are kept out. No one can run a paper to please everyone, be that big or little. It is tho editor's paper, and it is his living. He is the one who should judge what should and should not be published in its columns. A Cure for Sour Stomach. Mrs. Wm. M. Thompson, of Battle Creek, Mich., writes: “1 have been troubled with indigestion, sour stomach and bad breath. After taking two bot tles of Chamberlain's Tablets I am well. These tablets are splendid—none better. For sale by all dealers. Sufferer—"I have a terrible tooth ache and want something to cure it." Friend—"Now, you don't need any medicine. 1 had a toothache yesterday and 1 went home and my loving wile kissed me and so consoled me that the pain passed away. Why don't you try the same?" Sufferer—“I think I will. Is your wife at home now?" Resolutions in Memory of Mrs. L. M Smith. The entire section about Liberty | Christian church was shocked by the' news that Mrs. Susie Smith had died j suddenly at her home of heart failure on Sunday morning. March 7. She had been in failing health for several years, suffering greatly at times; hut retired ; the evening before her death in her usual cheerful spirits, not complaining of any pain. In the passing of Mrs. Smith one of the links is severed that bound a typical Christian family together. Her devo- i tion to her husband was unabating ; the J mutual affection between mother and j the eight married children was admira ble; while her lovable disposition won for her the abiding friendship of all who knew her. Her whole life was spent in this vicinity. She was former ly Miss Susie Brown, daughter of the late J. R. T. Brown, a faithful Baptist minister, who was also well-known throughout this section. She was horn Aug. 5, 1355, and was married to Dr. L. M. Smith Nov. 5, 1877, who sur vives her. She united with the Chris tian church in her young womanhood, and remained a devoted worker until the last. Although a sufferer f< r years, she was alwavs in her place n the church when at all possible. Many persons can testify to her faithfulness to the church, as well as to the good impression made upon their hearts and lives by coming in contact with this good Christian woman. When the women of the church gather in their labors of love her vacant seat will re mind them of one who was faithful, earnest and full of the spirit of de votion, and no doubt her absence wil cause her memory to be a benediction to the Christian workers of our church. Therefore, be it resolved— 1. That the husband has lost a de voted companion, the children a kind and affectionate mother, and the church a devout Christian worker. 2. That we bow in humble submis sion to the will of the all-wise Father, who, in His wisdom, saw fit to call her from us. 3. That a copy of this memorial be published in The Newnan Herald, and be furnished also to the bereaved fami ly. Mrs. T. M. Hyde, Miss Rubie Jones, Miss Annie Mae Hyde, Committee. Stomach Trouble Cured. Mrs. H. G. Cleveland, Arnold, Pa., writes: "For sometime I suffered from stomach trouble. I would have sour stomach and feel bloated after eating. Nothing benefited me until I got Cham berlain’s Tablets. After taking two bottles of them I was cured.” For sale by all dealers.

THIS WOMAN WAS VERY UNHAPPY Physically and Mentally Worn Out—Tells How Nervous and Crying Spells Were Ended by Vinof. Monmouth, Ill.:—“I was weak, worn- out and nervous. I had no appetite and was getting so thin and discouraged, one day I just broke down and cried when a friend came in and asked me what was the matter. I told of my condition and how nothing I took seemed to do me any good. Vinol was suggested. I got a bottle and before it was half gone I could eat and sleep well. I continued its use and now my friends say I look ten years younger, and I am well, healthy and strong. I wish I could induce every tired-out, worn-out, nervous woman to take Vinol.”—Mrs. Harriet Gale, Monmouth, Ill.
