KTTTT'NrHj-R 238 Broad Street, ROME, GA. DR. ROBINS VINDICATED. His Character Passed Almost U nanimously at the Conference. Dalton, Nov. 28 —The Robins matter came up in conference this morning. His character passed after a just and beautiful tribute to his worth and manfulness. As to his book the conference dis claimed it as being a Methodist utterance and reaffirmed adhesion to the doctrines on depravity and regeneration hitherto held by the church. The following resolutions were passed with only about half a doz en dissenting voices: ‘ Whereas, the Rev. J. B. Robins, D. D., a member of this conference, has published a book entitled “The Family a Necessity of Civilization,” in which he stated that the doc trine of total degravity which has been understood to mean the teach ing of our seventh article, is un worthy of belief, and has further said that children are >orn pure and needed no new nature, save that which comes to a sinless be ing, and that Jesus Christ needed regeneration as am other child needed it, and that He was regen erated. saying there was but one way for Him to get in the kingdom of God, and that was to be born into it; and, “Whereas. Dr. Robins has declar ed in the public prints that in neither of these utterances did h design to attack any of our arti cles; therefore, as his character for truthfulness and sincerity is unimpeached : therefore be it "Resolved. That his character do now pass, but as this action, may be misunderst* >d. Resolved by this conference ’ That it heartily reaffirms its belief in the seventh article of our relig ion and repudiates all teaching of i childhood purity in conflict with it; that it does not believe in any sense that our Lord Jesus Christ I needed regeneration: that it be lieves He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, was born immaculate and lived without sin to His ascen- I sion.” This resolution was signed by George G. Smith, Walker Lewis, W. P. Lovejoy and W. F. Cook. This resolution settled the case to the satisfaction of nearly every member of the conference. Dr. Robins bore himself through this ordeal with manliness and ! grace. CENTRE POST. Mr. A. J. Sims is moving to the old homestead of Amsie Price. Rev. T. B.

The famous bloodhound, Jude, the property of Policeman Perry Phipps, of Chattanooga, was killed one night last week by a negro des perado, Monroe Ivey, who has been terrorizing the people of Rossville for some weeks. Last Wednesday night Ivey made an attempt to murder Depu ty Sheriff Dobbs. A posse of men started in pursuit, and the dog Judb was put on the trail. The negro made his escape, and his pursuers finally went back to Chat tanooga thinking the dog was with them. Later it was learned that she had followed Ivey to his home near Rossville where he killed the dog by beating her in the head with a club/ The dog was the most famous one in all this section of country and had rendered the officers of Chattanooga most valuable service in running down a number of no torious criminals.

His counship gave Mr. Hegerty quite a hard fight before being captured and lacerated his arms terribly, mak ing five ugly wounds—three on his right arm and two on his left. This is said to be the first white coon ever seen in that section, and is pronounced by scientists to be a freak. Mr. Hegerty has his coon housed safely in a wire cage, and is thinking seriously of presenting it to the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D. C., as one of the curiosities of Murray county, Ga., where coons are numerous.” All persons are hereby warned not to hunt or otherwise trespass gi our enclosed lands, under penalty of the law.
