It advocates the latest and best methods of Sunday- school work, and stands only for those interests that are common to Sunday- schools of all denominations. The plans and methods suggested by this associa tion are practicable for all Sunday- schools, as they do not touch on church doctrines. The work is by way of sug gestion, not by authority; therefore it helps many, hinders none. The object is helpful and brotherly co-operation, not organic union.

Several policemen surrounded Mrs. Frank and her friends and refused to allow any one near enough to converse with them. The body was taken from the under taking establishment where it had lain since late this afternoon, surrounded by thirty policemen. They guarded the wagon bearing it until it was placed on the train, and then watched the car un til the train depurted. si.aton bitterly denounces mob. San Francisco, Aug 17. —FormerGov. John M. Slaton, of Georgia, who com muted the sentence of Leo M. Frank, and who is here visiting the exposition, was informed this morning that Frank had been lynched. “The act. was a consummate outran e, ” said Mr. Slaton, “and every man engag ed in the lynching should be hanged, fer he is an assassin. Such an act is contrary to the civilization of Georgia, and one which every good citizen will condemn. I could use no language too condemnatory. 1 believe the Governor of Georgia will use all the power of the State to punish the malefactors who disgraced the civilization of Georgia. Their act was one of cowurdice, which belongs alone to the as assin. I am shocked and horrified beyond expres sion. Any man who approves of this mob of murderers is unworthy to bo a Georgian. Any man or newspaper which condones this offense ought to be driven out of the State. But the con duct of this miserable mob of assassins is the conduct of the same sort who shoot people from behind a fence or murder a woman from a cowardly hesrt.” Mr. and Mrs. Slaton in about a week will go to San Diego to visit the Pan- ama-California Exposition, and after wards will return to their home in Geor- gia, “Ofcouise, I’m not afraid to return to Georgia,” he said. “This act of lynching Leo Frank is not that of the good people of my State. It's the act of a few criminals. I’m going to spend the rest of my life in Georgia. < I’ll be back home by the middle of Septem ber.” WHAT TOM WATKON HAYS. Thos. E. Watson, of Thomson, gave out the following statement yesterday— “Leo Frank was given a fair trial be fore an honest jury and a just Judge. He was convicted on the evidence of more than forty white witnesses. The most damning testimony against him wns given by his own employees before they even suapected that he was the guilty man. “His own wife, knowing him to he the criminal, refused to go to Bee him for three weeks after he was put in jail. He made a statement to the jury consuming an entire day, and then re fused to allow the Slate to cross-exam ine hirn. “His motion for a new trial was care fully considered, and then denied. The Supreme Court of Georgia reviewed the evidence and pronounced it sufficient to support the verdict. An extraordinary motion for new trial was overruled as possessing no merit. “The Supreme Court of the United States was appealed to, and this high est of l ribunals decided that the State of Georgia had not denied Leo Frank any legal right. Then the Prison Com mission refused to recommend a com mutation, and the case went to the Governor. “His commutation was an absolute nullity. The people rose and carried into effect the legal sentence.” Unclaimed Letters. The following list of unclaimed let ters will be sent to the Division of Dead Letters, if not called for within two weeks: W. C. Arnold, C. B Amis, M. F. Beavers, Mrs. Belle Riggers, W. J.

Bexley and others had charge of the ’cue, and they hud it in abundance. In the art of cook ing and preparing the meals and stew one would have to partakeof it to know of their proficiency in this line. About 400 people were on the grounds. The beautiful grove at Mr. Scott’s was sup plied with seats for the ladies and chil dren, while the men and boys roamed at will. Don’t think I have ever seen a more jovial or sociable crowd gathered together. Everybody seemed to be having a good time, and helping his neighbor to have a good time also. Af ter all had eaten arid talked to their heart’s content, our able farm demon strator, Mr. J. H. Blackwell, wan called on for a talk. He gave a good talk along the line of diversifying crops, and how to conserve and build up our lands. He showed how such methods could he used to pull us out of the i “hard times” that we are now talking so much about, und I think everyone went home with the determination to be a better farmer, a better father, a better molher, a better citizen, and a better neighbor.
