Methodist Church, of Atlanta, Dr.
Young J. Allen, Methodist missionary
In Shanghai, China, and Dr. George
\V. Yarbrough, of Oxford, Saturday
were the guests of honor at a grand
neighborhood plctllc and Jollification
held at Lone Oak, Meriwether county,
and with the many happy reminders of
the former days spent In that locality
ax preachers of the gospel or as na
tives of the section, the day was,one
of Joy to all who attended. Dr. Lee,
Dr. Yarbrough and Dr. Allen were each
former residents of the district and
were brought up In the rich section
which surrounds the scene of the Jubi
lant home coming of Saturday. Dr.
I.ee was licensed to preach, and de
livered hts first sermon at Prospect
Church In Lone Oak, where Saturday's
exercises were held, and Dr. Allen left
for China while living In the vicinity
of that village. Dr. Yarbrough was
also a native of Lone Oak and preach
ed at the church for several years only
a short time ago.
The affair of Saturday was the event
of the year In Lone Oak, and for miles
around a 'stream of visitors continued,
to arrive until well after the noon hour.
Crops were forgoten for the day, the
village storekeepers closed their shops
and all, old and young, Joined in the
grand and glorious welcome to the
three sons of the village who have
won fame and distinction In their life
of Christian endeavor. The three
guests arrived In Orantvllle, the near
est railroad station to Lone Oak, Fri
day night and all three participated in
religious exercises at the Methodist
Church In that town on that evening
before a congregation which taxed the
cu[ city of the church to Its utmost.
Dr. I.ee delivered the sermon and
furnished food for though for many
days to come. '

three men together, and naturally the

profit to the guests of the occasion as
well ns to the hosts.
Drive to Lone Oak.
On Saturday morning the party was
driven 6 miles Into the country to Lone
Oak, a pretty little village of thrifty
farmer folk. The drive to Prospect
Church was filled with Interest to the
three clergymen, who for the first time
since their start on the road of life
many, many years ago, reviewed the
eld scenes of early childhood and re
counted the days when they were
young school boys trudging the many
long miles each day In an effort to get
the education which is now so easily
secured by the average young person.
At Prospect Church was gathered a
great assembly of farmers, their wives,
daughters, sons and sweethearts, all
eager to meet the famous children of
Lone Oak, and all eager for a right'
merry good time. A committee con
sisting of J. N. Hall. J. L. Pritchett, A.
0. Lee, J. B. Hopson, J.'T. Turner and
many volunteers met the visitors and
mr two hours a merry handshake and
social chat was enjoyed by not only
the distinguished guests, but by many
of the country folk, many of whom
had not met before In many years.
Rev. A. H. 8. Bugg, the present pastor
of Prospect Church, was present, and
old his share toward assuring all a
good time.
Many Visitors.
Delegations of visitors were present
from LaQrange, Newnan, Hogansvtlle,

the Presbyterian Church at Coweta;
Rev. Q. C. Andrews, of Freeman’s
Chapel; o. W. Murphy, of LaQrange;
Professor John Henry Covin, of Ho-

sonage* present were "Grandpa” J. R.
hew all, a relative of Dr. Lee, who, al
though over SO years old, and the old-
eft member of the church, attended the
picnic in his buggy which was wheeled
up dose to a window- of the little
church, where he was able to hear the
exercises of the day. Another old
member of the church and former play
mate of Dr. Allen was Robert Pow
edge, who also Joined heartily In thi
'pint of the day, and, although unable
to take an active part showed by his
presence and Jovial manner of the
pride which he took In assisting In the
fecep t | on for , he suitor*.

Neighbors were Informed and a posse

getting the negro away from the mob
and took him to Griffin. A riot almost
followed the attempt of the officers to
board the train and another crowd waa
encountered at Experiment Station; but
the officer succeeded In bringing the
prisoner to Atlanta.
The negro claims that another negro
boy named Emmet Beard Is the guilty
person and denies his own guilt on

COUNCIL'S LAW
Says Ordinance Concerning
Policemen and Liquor
Is Not Wise.
Much comment, adverse and other
wise, has been occasioned by the or
dinance passed at the last session af
council prohibiting smloonmen to sell
or give liquor to members of the police
three. The police force Is against the
ordinance to a man, and Monday morn
Ing Mayor Woodward wrote a strong
message of disapproval on the back of
the ordinance, although he did not
veto It.
Mayor Woodward declares that the
ordinance gives too much power In the
hands of one man for the offense, and
also that he Is against prohibiting the
policemen taking a drink when they are
off duty and have taken off their uni
forms.
HI* message to council reads aa fol
lows;
“I return this paper to your honor
able body without my signature of ap
proval or disapproval, not for the pur
pose of veto, but with the recommen
dation that It be re-referred to the

consideration and perfection.
It appears to me that your honorable

that this Is too arbitrary a power to be

PARTNER OF GIBSON
TELLS QUEER STORY
Ashton I* To Be a Witness
tho Probing of the
Kinan Murder.
at
By Private Lasted Wire.
Shelburne, N. If., July 28.—In
statement made here at his country
home In the White mountains, William
K. Ashton gives some of ths facts about
Attorney Burton W. Gibson’s dealings
with Mrs. Htrntnn, the mother of Mrs.
Alice Kinan, who was murdered, which
put a new and startling aspect to the
case. He will be summoned before the
grand Jury as g witness.
'I do not wish to criticise a fellow
attorney," said he. "Gibson's action
waa manifestly unfair, not altogether
to me but to our joint client, Mrs.
8tenton. As ths secret purchaser of
.. to |,£
t iro party, It was to his Interest to
t In through hts dummy at the
owest possible figure. As a matter of
fact, ths 866,000 for which Gibson ob
tained control was very much below lts
true value. I hsrl sent an expert to
examine It and 1 felt confident from
rt that It would bring at least
.it the partition sale. That the
expert's Judgment waa conservative Is
shown by the fact that Gibson had no
difficulty In finding a purchaser on the
day of the murder, which entered Into
a contract to take the property off hts
hands for 880,000.”
The statement of Ashton contradicts
many Important details ths testi
mony given by Gibson at the prelimi
nary Inquiry before Justice McDonald.
