TUBEROULiOSIS I>AY. ?Groat National Movement Set For First Week in December. Churches, schools, labor unions, fraternal orders and other organiza tions to the number of 200,000 at least will be asked to join the anti tuberculosis 'workers of the coun try in the pbservance of the Fourth National Tuberculosis Day, which ha been designated for December 7th, according to an announceement is sued'today by the National Associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. . The movement will be furthered ttoruput the country by more than 1,000 anii-tuberculosis societies wor ing thru various state organizations and The National Association. Per sonal appeals will be made to cler gymen, school principals and lead ers of various organizations urging them to set aside a definite time during the week preceding or the week following December 7th, for a lecture on tuberculosis. Last year over 60,000 churches gave attention to this subject on Tuberculosis Day. It is hoped this year to swell the number of church es to 100,000 and to urge similar ac tion besides in a large number of the schools and other societies. The Tuberculosis Day Campaign will be this year during the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale. It is planned to urge the churches of the county to take a definite part, in this move ment. The observance of Tuberculosis Day was endorsed last year by Pres ident Taft, Cardinal Farlejy, Colonel Roosevelt and many other prominent churchmen and public officials. "Proclamations calling upen the people to observe this day were is sued by governors of more than a dozen states and by the mayors of a considerable number of cities. i it. \ \ii MVKp <;ru/n. ?i/U'l' Twtiily - Nine I )uy n FttlHOllM Trial to KimI, 11 " uy Atlanta, ( lu. , Aug. 25? At 4: bit o'GfW'k tUib utieruoon tiio Jury iu the nthf of I .i ii M. Frank, on triul for the murder of Mary 1'hagan, found the defendant guilty. No re commendations were made by the jury. Judge Roan's charge to the jury, delivered immediately after he had oer-ruled a motion of the defense for a miHtrial, wan terse and direct. During the trial much stress was Disced by both tildes on the ques tlon of Frank's character. Judge Hoan charged the Jury that while evidence of the defendant's good rep* utatlon previous to the death of Ma ry i'hagan wan to be considered pos sibly as creating a doubt of his guilt, such evidence would not suf fice to clear him if, in ^he opinion of the Jury, other evidence was suf ficient to show that he had commit ted the crime charged against* htm. Frank showed no visible signs of emotion when he was Informed tha ho had been found guilty. The fac tory superintendent's wife was with the prisoner when the message was delivered and she collapsed. More than an hour before Frank was notified, the Jury's verdict of, murder In the first degree was re ceived with a noisy demonstration by the crowd, estimated at more than 2,000 persons which had as sembled outside the court house. All spectators were excluded from the coyrt room before the verdict was announced. By agreement of coun sel the prisoner was permitted to remain in his cell at the county Jail. Only lawyers, court officials and newspaper men heard the ver dict. After listening to the presentation of evidence, and argument of counsel for more than four weeks the Jury retired at 12:47 o'clock this after noon when Judge Roan concluded his charge. Shortly after 4 o'clock It was announced that a verdict had been reached but it was nearly 5 o'clock before the jury returned to the court room. As the news was flashed to the crowd outside there was loud cheer ing. Mounted policemen rode thru the crowd in an e/fort to disperse It but the demonstration continued unabated. Solicitor Dorsey, who conducted the prosecution was the first per son to leave the court room. As he stepped Into the street he was lifted to the shoulders of several men and carried thru the shouting crowd. On account of the demonstration Judge Roan announced that he would not sentence the prisoner un til tomorrow and possibly later. The Judge was also cheered when he left the court room. Counsel for the defendant announced that a motion for a new trial would be made Immediately. Mary Phagan's body was found in the basement of the National pencil factory early on the morning of tl\e 27th of Aprils She had previously been employed at the factory, and had gone there at noon on April 26 for a small amount of wages due her. Near her body were found two notes, on which were scrawled accu sations against a ''long, black ne gro." Newt Lee, negro night watchman of the factory, who found the body was immediately^, arrested on suspi cion. Suptv Frank and several oth er persons connected with the plant, were detained ' several days later. Among these was James Conley, ne gro sweeper. After an exhaustive coroner's in vestigation, *Frank and Lee were bound over tothe grand jury. Frank was indicted for murder on May 24. ( Lee is still held in jail, as is James Conley. Frank's trial began July 28. The State built a basis of circumstantial evidence and then called James Con ley tot he stand to give the only di rect testimony against the defend ant. Conley swore he bad stood ad guard outside the factory office while Frank was closeted with the girl who had come for her pay and later helped Frank carry the body to the basement. The negro also told a revolting story of other al leged incidents at the factory office, charging the defendant with degen eracy. / : Late in the trial the defendant made a statement denying any knowledge of the crime. Frank asserted to friends who vis ited him in his cell:, "I am as in nocent now as I was a year ago." His appearance and general demean^ or remained as impassive as through out -the trial. Rabbi David Marx is quoted as saying: "I am stunned. I cannot believe it. I know he is innocent. I know he is incapable of such a crim I ask the public to suspend final judgment until an appeal for a new trial is made."* "" To Hang October IO. Atlanta, Aug. 26. ? Judge Roan today sentenced Leo Frank, con victed of the murder of Mary Pha gan to be hanged on October 10th. Frank received the sentenco stoi cally. Luther Rosser, the defense attorney, immediately moved for a now trial. He declared that if the motion is denied he will carry the case to the supreme court of Geor gia- - - r* ? . ProtenU His InnocHir#. Judge Roan set October 4 for the date for hearing arguments for the defense on the motion new trial. Only thirty person* were present when sentence was passed on Frank. He declared hi* Inno cence just before the judge sentenc ed him. WOKRS TO SPIvhK. Iluw Many of TIu*m< Coulfj ^)i?'

Careless Proofreading. We have jUBt glanced through a few of our exchanges to see what they call their humorous column. In onejt is called "In a Lighter Vein" in another "Bits of Humor," and in a third "'May Cause a Smile." Many of the bits of humor that cause a smile are met with in a newspaper office, sometimes in copy that is not written in a lighter vein. These are due to unfortunate slips itfpe. The majority of these do not get beyond th?f watchful eye of the proofreader. "Spreading a few weeks in the mountains" may have been ?true of the newly married cou ple on their bridal tour, but the copy only said that they were spend ing a few weeks in the mountains. Neheiniah as "a man who prayed and lied" does notappear so well as when we turn to the copy and read j "the man who prayed and tried." "She^wore his gown" was a far cry from the "The work has grown." Occasionally one of these errors gets by the proofreader and, it may be true, amuses the reader but mor tifies., the author. An editorial was written a few years ago on the "La bors Abundant" of one of our mis sionaries, but what was written ap peared under the head of "'Saloons Abundant." There is a stock joke of a veteran of the War Between the States, who was like some oth er men in that he was fona of his dram. He was visiting in the West and the local editor attempted to say something nice about him, but an "o" got in where "a" should have been and the veteran was of fended and the editor humbled be cause the notice referred to the for mer as a "bottle scarred veteran." The next week' an effort was made to correct the error and this is what appeared, "A battle scared vet eran." ? Associate Reformed Presbyr terian. Winnsoro Taken Two. ? Winnsoro took two out of the three games of ball played here last week. The first was won by a large score and Manager Geisen heiiner strengthened his team so that Tue8day's game was a pretty ex hlbitlon Of ball, going to Camden by a close score. The, last game com menced prettily, neither team scor ing in the first inning, but went to lhe .bfld In the second inning, ? the visitors piling up six runs in this Inning owng to several glaring er rors on the part of a Camden player. Mr. A. L. Geisenheimer worked hard for the succcss of the series and succeeded in getting a fai.*l> good attendance at all the games As it was the first games of the season the fans enjoyed the sport and we are hoping other games will be arranged before the season 1s too far gone. Robbed Postofflce. An automobile with two of. the penitentiaryy'a blood hounds passed thru Camden 8unday morning, en route t oLynchburg in I^ee county. They _were- to be. put on the trail of . the thief who broke into the postofflce at that place. The build ing was entered about 2 a. m. Sun day and robbed of twenty dollars in cash.

The first stop will bo tho Cunu dlan National Exposition, which will bo hold at Toronto, August Mrd to September Hth. Then the car will douhlo buck und the exhibit will bo displayed ut various fuirs in Now York State, und the New Mnland States, until November 1st* , The exhibit consists of sixty-threo gluss Jura of fruits und vegetables; seventeen gluss Jars of grain, pea nntH, peas, rice, etc.; fifteen glass Jara of pecan nuts; Georgia and Florida cane syrup; Jhreo large cuse of gruin in straw, forage grasses, tobacco, corn; p^anutn and miscella neous porducts; grape fruit, pineap ples. wutermelona, sugar cane; twen ty small bales of different kinds of hay growu in the' South; cocounuta; u small bale of cotton; cotton on the stalk; sweet potatoes;' corn on the stalk, showing the prolific va rieties with four to six ears to the stalk. A groat deal of time wua consum ed in getting the veryy best pro ducts grown in the South, and much, time wuh consumed in prepuring and putting up this exhibit in tin at tractive manner. ; A fact which tho Southern farmer should be proud of is that this ex ceptional exhibit, was secured from regular farms and not a single item from an experimental farm. In addition to their regular "Na- 1 tion'a Garden Spot!' booklet, they prepared a very handsome booklet containing twfenty-five bountiful ag ricultural und horticultural views along the Atlantic Coast Line, es pecially for distribution on this trip. The exhibit is in charge of two experienced men who will take spe cial pains to explain the exhibit and the conditions in the South to all visitors. We think this kind of advertising should certainly attract settlers to this unexcelled country if they can be attracted. Oil Charge of Hurglary.
