An unknown person attempted to cnfer the home of Mr. G. L. Best last Monday night about 8 o'clock. All t'je members of the family were ab sent at a corn shucking at the home f a neighbor, except Mrs. Best and several Bmall children. The person ux.iCe several attempts to enter at tne two front doors which were locked on the Inside. Mrs. Best asked several times who was there and what was wanted but did not get an answer. She then went to another part of the house and got a double-barreled gun and fired a heavily charged shell through the door near the top. She succeeded in frightening the person away. It is thought that the persons object in trying to enter the house was to search for money. Mr. Best had re ceived the rent from one of his plantations that day and it is sup posed tha't the would-be-crimlnal knew of the money being paid that day and also of the absence of Mr. Best from home. Mr. and 'Mrs. Davis Rhyne and children 'were the guests Sunday of their daughter, Mrs. J. C. Pasour. Miss Edna Clemmer Is on the .sick list at this writing.

Prominent Georgia Statesman Ex pires Suddenly at Atlanta Was Serving His Third Term in the Seuute. An Associated Press dispatch sent out from Atlanta Sunday says that United States Senator Alexander Stephens Clay of Georgia died at the Robertson sanitarium there Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock after an ex tended illness. His death was as peaceful as It was sudden. He had been talking witk his son Herbert a few minutes whes he suddenly ceased speaking and fell back with a gasp. According to physicians Senator Clay's death resulted from dilation of the heart, superinduced by arter ial sclerosis. The Senator has been ill for nearly a year and came to the sanitarium here on November 1st to take a rest cure. Senator flay was 57 years old and was serving his third term in the I'nited States Senate. He is surviv al I y his wife, live sons and a .Inuuhler, besides his parents. Mr. a:x! Mrs. W. .1. Clay, of Cobb county. As a statesman Senator Clay was noted fir his unswerving honesty, his loyalty and industry. As a mem ber f ihe committees on postoflices and pnMroad"?, manufacture, wom an's suffrage, coast and insular sur veys, roast defences and public bui'dings and grounds, he had his hands full, lie was never known to shirk committee work. "It is less spectacular than mak ing speeches on the floor, but that Is where the real work is done," he would often say to friends who urg ed him to give up some of the hard labor. The Senator had served in the Senate continuously for 14 years, having been elected In 1 896 to suc ceed the Hob. John B. Gordon. He was chairman of the committee on woman suffrage and a member of seven other committees, Including the Important committee on appro priations and postoffices and post roads. Week of Prayer.

There were 26 witnesses against Parker. He waiv ed preliminary examination and was held for trial at the next term of Gaston Superior Court, his bond be ing fixed at $200. Last Wednesday Jim White, who conducted a near beer saloon in the same section, was indicted on the same charge. The case was compromised by White agreeing to close up his establish ment and quit the business, which he did. And many a man's reputation for i.oiiegty is due to his having put a lrtn t''Tipfation that diJn't tempt. era and salesmen of mill machinery and supplies, and any others who are sufficiently interested to attend and pay their membership fee.

RAISING LARGE FUNDS. Rev. John It. Stewart, Treasurer of SuMTtumuute Fund of Southern Melhodiot Cliurvh, I'reuclies Twice ut Muiu Street Church Is IOngeg ed hi lUiKlnic Five Million Dollar Fund for Worn-Out Ministers. Rev. John R. Stewart, of Nash ville, Tenn., one of the connectlonal officers of the Southern Methodist Church, having in charge the super annuate endowment fund, preached twice at Main Street Methodist church Sunday, delighting the con gregations both morning and even ing with excellent discourses. Mr. Stewart spent Saturday, Sunday and yesterday here with his cousin, Mrs. James W. Atkins, leaving this morn ing for Athens, Ga., to attend the an nual session of the North Georgia Conference. Last week he attended the annual session of the Virginia Conference at Richmond. At the morning service 'Mr. Stew art spoke principally on the endow ment fund lor superannuated min isters, of which lie is treasurer, and to the raising of which his entire time is devoted. His recital of the hardships endured by the itinerant Methodist preacher, his great part iu the upbuilding of Christian civi lization and of tacts which show how inadequate are the provisions made for his support after he has reached the age when he is no lon ger capable oi rendering service to the church and to his country, made a deep impression upon his hearers. The object of the General Confer ence of the Southern Methodist Church in creating this important branch of work was to raise a fund of $5,000,000 as an endowment fund, the proceeds from which are to be used in paying the superan nuated preachers, their widows and children. So far the work has pro gressed with satisfactory results and Mr. Stewart is meeting with much encouragement. Last week the Vir ginia Conference, in session at Rich mond, followed the lead of a num ber of other conferences, among them the Western North Carolina Conference, and levied an assess ment of one per cent of the salaries paid to the pastors for this purpose. This week the matter will be pre sented to the North Georgia Confer ence at Athens and later in the week to the Memphis Conference which meets at Paducah, Ky. The speaker's remarks were based on the text "As ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so to them." In connection with a gen eral discussion of the subject he took occasion to tell his bearers of the marvelous work which the itin erant "Methodist preachers have ac compllshed, the majority of them giving their lives, their energy, their all and receiving In return therefor a mere living, often a scant one at that, and coming down to old age without adequate provision for their temporal wants. He recited numer ous Instances of the privations and poverty which many of these. noble men suffer In silence, too modest to make their needs known. The con gregation was greatly impressed with Mr. Stewart's presentation of this great subject and his discourse will no doubt bear fruit. At night Mr. Stewart took as his text, "I have come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abundantly." His sermon was a strong and impressive presenta tion of his subject and was heard with interest and pleasure by the congregation.
