The lynching occurred at the scene of the murder, more than 2,000 persons from several counties witnessing or taking part, according to witnesses. After being tortured with a slow fire for 16 minutes, the mob loosened the trace chains that held Atkins to a pine tree and placed his seared body in the Aiiddle of the main highway. He was conscious, crying in pain. The mob demanded to know if there were others connected with the murder. Atkins, it was said, named John Henry Tarver, another young negro boy who he said was the only other person connected with it. He had previously connected his brother with the case. Members of the mob raised his body again, fastened it to the pine tree, in an upright position, rekindled the fire at the base of the tree and then stood off giving those in the crowd opportunity to fire shots into the body. Undertakers who obtained the body following the lynching say that more than 200 shots entered the charred body. Immediately after completing the lynching the mob set out to find Tarver, determined on lynching him if he can be found. The roads in this section were choked with automobiles, more than 300 cara being at the scene of the lynching. To Take Special Course Dr. W. H.

ACTION TAKEN BY CONVENTION Jacksonville, Fla., May 18 (By the Associated Press).?The Southern Baptist convention today instructed its education board to provide text books on science "free from erroneous statements on evolution/' admitted women to membership on its boards and Its legislative committees and adopted resolutions congratulating President Harding and Secretary Hughes for their work at th? Washington arms conference and their influence toward international peace. The greater part of the day was given over to reports on home education and foreign missions, both of which showed increased growth. In the afternoon missionaries on leave told of their experiences and the evening session was devoted chiefly to presentation of the 46 young men and women who have just been assigned to foreign missions. Adoption of the recommendation regarding evolution does not mean, it was said by officers, that belief on that subject will be made a test of' orthodoxy, and Dr. Hugh I. Moore,Nashville, senior recording secretary, explained that it "might be possible" that some members believe that God chose to create man through evolution and theistic evolution, Presi-J dent E. Y. Mullins of Louisville, who is also head of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, gave an offhand opinion that no test of orthodoxy was intended. Efforts to "rightly" relate science to the Bible" were asked in the report of the education ~e ?v:.u 1 wvoiu, uuin ui which were uuupieu. The recommendation presented by the; Rev. J. W. Gillon of Mayfield, Ky,, chairman, termed Darwin's theory of evolution "not science at all, but just theory." It declared that "in view of the fact that the claim is being constantly, and without justification made that textbooks can not be found for the departmenta of science free from erroneous statements with reference to evolution, that our education board begin at once to seek fpz Christian scientists, who will prepare text-books for all departments or science which will rightly. relate science to the Bible and set fortfe the fact- that th? the neatest meti " or sclent H*^~*pudialSr Darwinism, except as an unproven working hypothesis. This, of course, means that it is not science at all, but theory." Praise for President Harding and Secretary Hughes was given in the following resolutions presented by the Rev. Henry Allen Tupper ofl Washington: "We, the members of the Southern Baptist convention in session at Jacksonville, May, 18, 1922, desire to express our high appreciation of these services of our Baptist brethren, Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, and Charles E. Hughes, secretary of state, in connection with the recent conferences on limitation of armament and the influence exerted by them in the interest of the international peace."

TWO DEFENDANTS TELL OF KILLING With Ira Harrison's confession, involving himself, Treece and Jefford;, heard during the morning and Glenn Treece on the stand, admitting piece by piece under cross-examination his participation in the crime, the Jeffords-Harrison-Treece trial was brought to a temporary halt at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by forced recess due to the illness of a member of the jury. Court will be reconvened at 9:30 o'clock this mornihg, with Treece still facing cross-examination and Jeffords expected to take the stand in reply to the direct accusations made by Harrison and Treece that he was the originator and ring leader in the plot to slay J. C. Ar nette, Jeffords' partner and Harrison's and Treece's employer, who was killed at the filling station Tuesday a week ago. The case Is expected to reach the jury today. All persons were searched for weapons by officers before being admitted to the court room yesterday. The closing incidents yesterday furnished the most dramatic scenes of the three day trial. Treece, under the fire of Solicitor Spigner's questions, had abandoned his original story of his being the blind dupe of Jeffords In the crime and bit by bit was admitting his guilt. Suddenly W. M. Taylor of Blythewood, one of the jurors, interrupted the cross-examination to ask to be excused and a short recess was ordered and the jury led from the room. Mrs. David S. Treece. mother of Treece, who had previously testified in her boy's defense, had broken into tears as admission after admission was elicited from Treece by the solicitor. As the jury passed out of the court room Mrs. Treece broke down completely and was carried out of the room, exclaiming hysterically over and over again, "My boy? my boy. He's all I have." Treece's two sisters and his brother-in-law, who had also listened through the cross-examination, were crying. Treece, himself, was noticeably nervous during the cross-examination. The illness of Juror Taylor was then announced and the court adjourned for the day, Mr. Taylor being to take a walk together and the hour of the reconvening of the court was set for 9:30 o'clock this morning, when, if the condition of Mr. Taylor permits, the trial will be resumed. Physicians who treated him last night were of the opinion that he would be able to attend the sessions of the court today and no undue delay in the case is therefore anticipated. The jury yesterday for the first tinrve in the trial heard a full and detailed story of the plot and crime in the confession of Harrison. Treece's final story, made under cross-examination, agrees with Harrison's version in practically every detail that Treece by his own confessions, could have been cognizant of. And for the first time yesterday the. jury heard the story of the crime from a person who admitted participation in it, the entire case for the state being based up until yesterday upon the portions of the story as recalled by officers. The day also revealed the first direct accusation against Jeffords, who, both Harrison and Treece claimed, suggested the crime to them and directed them in the commission of it. Jeffords according to officers' testimony, in like manner places the blame upon one of the others, saying, "I was overpersuaded." Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. J. Homer Crawford announce the birth of a son, May 19th, to be called J. Homer, Jr. Green Street Revival Received the following telegram from Evangelist E. O. Hobbs yesterday: "Leaving about five.
