In Memory Mrs. W.L. Currie
Mother Currie has left us, but
oh, how I do think of her.
She was a mother to me. I
loved her so. It seems so hard
to give her up, but let us say, it’s
all for the best. She is sleeping
in the arms of Jesus.
She was a good woman, good
wife, mother and grandmother.
We often wonder why the good
ones are taken away from us,
but the Lord knoweth best.
There is a place that will be
vacant in the home, that cannot
be filled.
She leaves a heart - broken
husband, thirteen children and
two grand children. All but three
boys were at her bedside.
My heart goes out for each one
of the family. lam broken heart
ed. She was loved by every one
who knew her.
J I will never forget her sweet
■ face, which was so dear to me.

STATE CONVENTEON
SPLITS IN TWO BEADS
Atlanta. April 20.—-Two fac
tions, one of them described by
its leader as a black and tan or
ganization, and the other favor
ing white leadership, claimed
control of the republican party
of Georgia today following a
tumultuous state convention.
The party split a few minutes
after the temporary roll call of
delegates to the convention here
yesterday. The schism came
over the election of a temporary
chairman to preside over the con
vention. From then on until a
few minutes before both factions,
adjourned, the convention hall
echoed almost continuously to
the combined din of sheering,
pooing, hondclapping, shouting
and singing.
At the end of the six hour ses
sion, each faction had elected a
separate set of convention and
party officers. Each likewise
claimed control of the party and
each expressed confidence that
their faction would be given rec
ognition by the national party.
The business of both factions
was conducted simultaneously,
while pandemonium reigned in
the hall. Because of the noise,
ballots were taken by uplifting
of hands. Neither faction voted
on motions or on other business
put before the house by leaders
of the other, con'enting them
selves with singing, booing, and
yelling, to drown out the voices
of the opposition speakers.
One faction elected James W s
Arnold, of Athens, as permanent!
chairman and Ben J. Davis, At
lanta Negro, a former republican
national committeeman from
Georgia, as permanent secretary,
both for the convention and for
the republican state control com
mittee. This faction claimed
among its supporters M. O.Dun
ning, collector of customs at Sa
vannah, G. F. Flanders, of Em
anuel county, and Mamie Wil
liams, of Savannah, Negress, re
publican national committeewo
man from Georgia. Arnold said
that this faction was known as
the “regular black and tan party
—the republican organization of
Georgia.”
J. T. Rose, collector of internal
revenue in Atlanta, was named
chairman of the republican state
central committee by the other
faction. Rose, who had been
mentioned in pre convention gos
sip as the choice for chairman,
was given a place on the resolu
tions committee by the other
faction.
Roscoe Pickett of Jasper, re
tiring state chairman, was nam
ed vice chairman, assistant to
Rose, Henry C. Davis of Macon,
secretary, and Eugene Oberdorf
er of Atlanta, treasurer. Officers
of both factions are white men,
with the exception of Ben Davis.
Davis and others of his faction
protested vehemently, demand
ing a roll call. The hall was in an
uproar. Later the Davis faction
declared Arnold elected chair
man and then two men were on
the rostrum, both claiming chair
manship. Both factions then pro
ceeded with their business at the
same time, each side seeking to
drown out, by shouting and sing
ing and stamping of feet, the
voices of opposition leaders. H.
O. Lovvorn of Cirrolton, was
named temporary secretary of
the Hager-Dozier group, and
Charles Adamson of Cedartown,
was named pemanent chairman
ot the convention for the Hager
> j faction.

ferings.

which arrived yesterday morn
ing with his widow and parents,
was an escort from the Wood
man of the World, which order
the deceased was a member. The
