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. Her doughter-in-law, MRS.

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. : j While the Hager group had a committee out to draft r«com- Number 9 FUNERAL OF NATHAN J.
