And in the morning of h ve’s drerfm See all the destined ages gleam! Ex-Gov. Jos. WL Brown on Frank Case. Interview in Savannah Press. Anyone who, with an open mind, will read all the sworn testimony in the trial of L. M. Frank must he forced to concede that the negro, Jim Conley, was not tie murderer of Mary Phagan, but that the jury correctly named the real criminal, and that all the courts must be correct in upholding that ver dict. The State of Georgia and her ad ministration of justice have been per sistently maligned by people in other States who know practically nothing of the real testimony in the trial of L. M. Fr»nk. She and her laws have been challenged by public sentiment aroused upon manufactured so-tjalled evidence which has ns standing in a legal forun they have been clearly vindicated by the highest court in the world, after that court had looked "into the very heart and substance of the matter.” That great court, in its decision, un mistakably declined to aMow itself to be used as the asylum of technicalities by protecting an ascertained murderer against the demands of justice; and yet partisans of Frank tell us that that tco jrt H ci ed the case on legal t^chhi- calities!

Manufactured only by Stonecypher Drug and Chem ical Company, Westminster - - Sooth Carolina That court upheld the law against the criminal, yet there are those outside of Georgia who refuse to read the real ev idence, and who still seek to vindicate the proven criminal against the law. I have conversed about this case with many citizens of Georgia within the past few months. They are a unit in their opinion that talk by people living outside of Georgia is worthless as against evidence sworn to before the jury in Atlanta; that denunciation by newspapers in other States cannot be even considered against the judgment of ail the courts. I have no interest whatever in doing Frank a hurt, but I have a profound in terest in seeing justice administered in Georgia. I know not of my personal knowledge if Frank he the murderer of Mary Pnagan, but I know that the court which tried him and the courts which reviewed that trial have adjudged him gumy of lh<*t murder; hence, I cannot doubt that he is the murderer; and since attempts are even yet being persistently made to convince the world that Georgia, and not Frank, is the real criminal, I fear not to defend the es tablished truth. If other people have the right to choose to stand on the side of the proven murderer, it is my right, my duty and my choice to stand on the side of my State and the majesty of her laws. If they assert that it is in decorous to aigue against a man who iB immured in jail, fighting for his life, I ask : "Is it not more ind. corous for them to hand together to save from deserved punishment this man, who it ha3 been proven atrociously slew a sweet young Georgia girl when she dared defend her life and her honor from his lecherous grasp?” A marvel it is to me that the public men of Georgia have seen their State persistently and viciously lampooned by the partisans of Frank and have not had the loyalty to defend her—a mar vel that, with but few notable excep tions, the editors of her daily and week ly press have allowed this tirade of un founded abuse pgainst Georgia and her courts, and have kept thei’’ columns sealed against thfe defense which it has been their duty to make. But in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States she has received her crowning defense. Any other would henceforth be belated and practically superfluous. compromise a principle, and the Gov ernor, of all men, must so hold in mind. And I will here udd that the state ment is made in the public press that the reading of the more than one thousand pages of evidence given in the trial will require much of the time of the Prison Commission and the Governor. Per mit me to say that this should require none of their time, inasmuch as the Su preme Courts of Georgia and of the Uni ted States have read all of that evi dence, and adjudged it to justify the sentence passed upon Frank. Unless, therefore, affidavits by reputable par ties bring to the executive office new developments contravening vital points of that evidence, the Governor will usurp the function of the courts in re trying this case on that evidence. On that evidence it is undeniably res aetju- dicata. I notice in a dispatch from Indianap olis that a nation-wide movement will be inaugurated to secure 1,000,01)1) names to petitions asking that the death sentence of L. M. Frank, under conviction of murdering Mary Phagan, be commuted to life imprisonment. These identically-worded petiti -ns are to be sent to a party in Chicago, who will forward them to the Governor of Georgia. This brings to the front the questions: "Is Georgia to be ruled by her own laws, administered by her own officers in her own borders, or is she to be ruled by an irresponsible rabble in oth er States? Can the Governor of Geor gia be coerced or unduly influenced against his oath to the people of Geor gia by that irresponsible rabble in oth er States? Will he justify theclamorof that irresponsible rabble in other States against the enforcement of the law of his own State, or will he obey the Con stitution by enforcing those laws? Is not the sending of those petitions an in sult to the State of Georgia?" I, for one, am mistaken in my meas ure of the Governor of Georgia if he forgets, evades or ignores his duty in this repeatedly adjudged case. For sale by J. F. LEE DRUG Newnan. Georgia.

His duty is to Georgia and her laws, and the people expect him to he big enough, brave enough and true enough to discharge that duty unflinchingly. The June Bride. Louiflville Col rier-Journal. What is less rare than a bride in June? Then, if ever, come perfect wedding days! The bride’s month is one of roses — and nature is garbed as carefully and as richly in Kentucky as a Tasmanian February. The intuitive knowledge of brides that they will look best in em blematic white against a background of June opulence of color is, perhaps, the -eason for the popularity of the month as the time of weddings. In June the "song of the wind in the rippling wheat” is beard, and “the lilt of the brook under rock and vine." The honey bees which were tipsy upon the nectar of locust blossoms in May are divinely drunk on the red clover, buz zing a merry bacchanale to the glory of peace and plenty. The mocking bird has become a busy hausfrau, teaching a nestful of downy babes table manners and the difference be tween ferocious and edible insects, and the rudiments of the art of music which is as far as the end of the rainbow be yond the great composers and the so- called song-birds of opera. The muz zles of the gray squirrels are dyed with mulberry juice as if dipped in wine; the young rabbits are growing fat upon a banquet that outdoes a thousandfold the feast of the loaves and fishes. June—the month when nature’s re newal and the earth’s bounty are most in evidence—is an appropriate month for marriages. Let those who are American brides this June be properly thankful that theirs is a country in which there is harmony between hu mankind and nature, and where peace far sturdier than Europe has ever known, even in the absence of any definite prophecy or prospect of war, guards the homes of the nation. The June brides of Europe this year will be war brides, the din of battle in their ears, the fear of death in their hearts -mothers-to-be of orphans. Mrs. Evans was making a call on Mrs. Francis, and they were enjoying a chat about some of their neighbors. “MrB.

Repoit of Civic League, 1914-1915. In making my report of the work done hy the Newnan Civic League I shall begin with the financial part of it, this being the least part of our w irk this year. In fact, in the beginning of our work after the summer vacation we considered the question of making money or not making it, nnd it was de cided that it would make us decidedly unpopular to stress the money side of our work this year; so, for that reason, little effort was made to replenish our treasuries; but from the sale of a car load of wu-le paper, the proceeds of our chrysanthemum show, dues, and a gift or two, we have gotten together $350. As we hud a balance in each of the different treasuries, we have been able to spend about $100, and still have a balance to our credit. Our club is more like a city federa tion than one club. The chairman of each section of the work is virtually a president, and she manages her work with her committee just as though that committee was the club itself, and it is only as we give monthly or quarterly reports that one section knows what the other has done. In this way each committee has a specific work. Thus, the work of the parks committee this year has been to keep the two parks mowed, free from papers und trash, and to cultivate the shrubs and trees. One park, which is near the union sta tion, was presented last year with a pa vilion by the Newnan Club of Atlanta. This was dedicated in June. The At lanta club came down for the occasion and were entertained hy our club for the day. The settlement work has pride in its library, over a hundred books having been added to those already on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year. Some of these were bought with funds raised by this committee; others have been given by friends of the work. We have a class of 18 girls doing hand em broidery and 15 learning plain sewing. Window boxes have been given to this school, and a number of records have been bought for the grafonola. We have a splendid literary section, composed of 18 members. We meet every alternate Tuesday morning, and have this year studied Southern litera ture. The Chrysanthemum Club, under the auspices of the league, was a grand suc cess. Mr. Wachendorf, of Atlanta, who judged the flowers, said that he had never seen finer ones anywhere. It was an occasion long to be remembered. Friends came from all of the surround ing towns, which added much to the so cial feature of the show. Clean-up week was duly observed hy our town, under the direction of the sanitary section. So much has been said about when to clean up, how to clean up, and why clean up, that it is an old song. The chairman of this sec tion had her work thoroughly organ ized. The work in the main part of the town was very much as it has been; but this year the mill settlement was more thoroughly cleaned than usual, and then the committee asked that the city wagons go into the two negro quarters the week af.er regular clean up week. The request was granted, and then letters wete written to the colored preachers asking that they urge their congregations to respond to our request. It was susprising to see the good results, and our sanitary chief said that the negroes had made a most thorough job of it, and lime was scat tered everywhere. Our committee for the schools bought quite a number of outdoor athletic games, added a few conveniences, and bought records and needles for the graphophone. The executive board held several im portant meetings during last summer, while the club was taking a summer rest. The most important was to peti tion the City Council to pass a chicken ordinance, which was done. Later we had this, along with a few other ordi nances, printed on dodgers and sent to the home of every resident in town. Our Junior League work, under the direction of the vice-president, has been better organized than heretofore. This year we made our first attempt to have monthly programmes in the schools. The teachers responded beautifully as a rule, and with their co operation the exercises were made more attractive each month, until we thought best to give way for the final examinations and the closing exercises of the schools. The membership of the Junior League numbers 575. The work we planned to do at the cemetery would have cost quite a lot of money, so, owing to the tinancial de pression, we gave it up for the present, but hope to take it up again later. I’ve tried to give briefly the most im portant of our efforts, and in closing my report wish to thank my officers for so faithfully holding up my hands; my board for its ready response to my per sistent calling; and each member for her help, even though it was just a kind word in the seclusion of her home. Keopectfully submitted, Mrs. G. W. St. John, President Newnan Civic League. Heavy Losses to Insurance Inves tors in Georgia. Atlanta, Ga. p May 31.— A se-ioua local situation has been brought to light in connection with the compilation of tigu-es showing astonishing losses which stockholders, investors and poli cyholders have sustained in connection with life insurance companies organiz ed in this State. The rec ird of the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company, Atlanta, shows a loss to investors in capital stock of $666,700. The American Life and Annuity Company of Atlanta, loss by issuance of income certificates, $145,550. Rome Insurance Company. Rome, loss to stockholders, (estimated,) $600,- 000. National Assurance Company, At lanta, loss to certificate heldera, (es timated,) $425,000. State Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, Rome, loss to income certificate holders, $1,500,000. Great Southern Accident and Fi- dslity Company. Atlanta, loss to stock holders about $225,000. Equitable Casualty Company, At lanta, $250,000. Atlantic States Life Insurance Company, Augusta, (estima’ed,) $65,- 000. Empire Life Insurance Company, Atlanta, (estimated,) $1,500,000. Cherokee Life Insurance Company, Rome, loss to income certificate-holders on exchange for stock, $1,300,000. Georgia Life Company, Macon, loss about $600,000 Nobody has been asked to account for these startling losses, and the public generally is beginning to wonder where the blame should he placed. The ques tion has naturally arisen as to what hae happened to the interests of the policy holders, how much they have lost, who has safeguarded their interests and looked after their welfare. The question has come up, too, of how much rightful reserve may have been diverted to pay court costs and legnl fees in cases that could have been prevented. It is said, too, that many policyholders who have sought to ex ercise the loan privilege under their contracts have met with flit refusal. There are two sections in the Code of Georgia which bear on life insurance activities. The Act of 11)12, page 125, says: “Any directors, officers, agents or employees of any company who wil fully and knowingly subscribes, makes or concurs in making any annual or other statement required by law con taining any material statement which is false, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. It shall be the duty of the insurance commissioner to report all such misrepresentations and false statements to the solicitor-general of the circuit in which they occur.” In the Acts of 1913, section 2, it says in substance that no one connected with an insurance company shall re ceive premiums after the concern is in solvent. It provides that no official shall iaBue a policy or benefit certificate, or aid in reinstating an unhealthy per son, with intent to defraud. John H. Reynolds, president of the First National Bank, is one of the men who has had the pleasure of living to see vindicated a principle which he ad vocated years ago, and he is naturally happy about it. Back in 1895, at the session of the Georgia Bankers' Asso ciation, he urged that no intoxicants be served at the annual banquets—and was laughed at for his attitude. After a lapse of twenty years sentiment has changed, and this year—in Savannah, of all placeB—the association went on record as favoring "dry” banquets in the future. The world has learned that booze does not harmonize with business and is not necessary to good fellowship. — Rome Tribune-Herald.

A NEWNAN INTERVIEW. Mr. Jennings Tells His Experience. The following brief account of an in terview with a Newnan man over four years ago, and its secquel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen; H. W. Jennings, machinist, 78 Mur ray Btreet, Newnan, says; "Forseveral years I had been subject to attacks of kidney complaint. They came on me after any exposure or wh in I got cold. At such times my kidneys were irregu lar in action and my hack pained and ached and made it hard for tne to do any work. Since learning of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I never suffer an attack hut what they relieve every symptom of the complaint." (Statement given Feb. 20, 1911.) Over four years later Mr. Jennings said; “I have had no occasion to use Doan’s Kidney Pills for some time. They cured me of a very severe case of kidney complaint.” Price 50c., at all dealers.
