Col. W. R. Chamblee Dead.
Col. W. R. Chamblee died at the home
of his mother at Pendergrass Monday
morning at 10 o’clock after an illness of
several months with consumption. The
news of his death created considerable
surprise here as no one knew he was so
near death’s door.
Col. Chamblee was welt known in
Gainesville and this section. He was
born and reared in this county and had
many friends, who are left to* mourn
his deat’~>. He was 42 years old, was a
graduate of the North Georgia Agricul
tural College of Dablonega. and was for
several years a teacher in the Gaines
ville public schools. He was quiet and
unassuming in his manner, and made
friends wherever he went.
After teaching here for several years
he went west, locating in Texas, v^jiere
he remained for a year or two after
which he returned to Gainesville, read
law under Col. H. H. Perry and was ad
mitted to the bar. .
At the time war between the United
States and Spain was declared he was
captain of the Piedmont Rifles of this
city, and was one of the first to volun
teer his services. Not having enough
mCn to form a company he and his men
were assigned to Company G., Second
Georgia regiment, of which he was
made first lieutenant. He remained
with his command until his regiment
was mustered out of service.
His health was bad when he returned
home and he went to Pendergrass to be
with his mother, and recuperate. He
has steadily declined until death re
lieved him.
* The funeral services were held at the
First Methodist church Tuesday after
noon at 4:30 o’clock, Revs. J. M. White
and-A. A. Tilly officiating. A military
escortjtook charge of the remains upon
their arrival, escorted the body to the
church and out to the cemetery. The
interment was in charge of the Masons,
an order to which he belonged.
Law Again Respited. -
Governor A. D. Candler last Tuesday
ordered another respite of two weeks in
the case of Cassius Law, now in jail
under a sentence of death. His case
was heard by the pardon board last
Saturday, but as they did not haye suf
ficient time in which to duly consider
the case another respite was requested,
and Governor Candler gave Law a lease
on life until April 12th.
Last Saturday Colonels Howard
Thompson and J. O. Adams went before
the pardon board and presented a plea
in behalf of Law. They, asked for a
commutation of the sentence to life im
prisonment on the grounds that he is a
degenerate and mentally unable to dis
tinguish. between right and wrong.
The Constitution in speaking of the
case of Law in its issue of Wednesday
says: “The plea made before the par
don board by the attorney for Law was
similar in every respect to the defense
of Robert Lewis, the slayer of Foreman
Haynes, wlio died on the 'gallows two
weeks ago. As in the former case be
fore the board the condemned man is
represented as a degenerate, with
many of the symptoms of insanity and
totally unable to distinguish between
right and wrong.
“The officials of the state who have
to deal with cases of pardon object to
the way in which attorneys for con
demned men wait until only a few days
before the law is to take its course and
then file an application for commuta
tion of sentence. In such cases it is
necessary to respite the condemned
Whether the ease is a worthy one or not
and many of the officials are of the
opinion that such practice is tampering
with justice and should not be con
tinued.”
Unless the pardon board commutes
Law’s sentence to life imprisonment or
he is given another respite he will bp
hanged Wednesday, April 12th.

the instrument in God’s hand of per
suading many souls to believe in and
accept the Lord Jesus Christ and live.

ence, prayers and hearty cooperation of
all time lovers of souls yet out of the
ark of safety. Pray that the Holy
Spirit may be with ue in convicting
power. Come over and help ns. All
