FIRAL TRIBUTE 10
MR J. M. HODGSON
PRI HERE SUNDAY
Athens and Clarke county paid
its last eartnly tribute to one of
its pioneer citizens, Mr. Joseph
M. Hodgson, at the funeral ser
vices conducted {from the Central
Presbyterian. church yesterday
afternoon at 5:00 o’clock.
The services were conducted by
Dr. S. J. Cartledge, his pastor
for twenty years, and Dr. E. L.
Hill, pastor of the First Presby
terian church and a warm friend.
Dr. Cartledge spoke principally
of Mr. Hodgson's relation to his
church, of which he was a mem
ber and the Ruling Elder. His
philanthropic spirit, his public
mindedness, and his success as =
business leader, were alluded to
by his pastor, but Mr. Hodgson's
deep devotion to his church, were
chiefly dwelt upon by Dr. Cart
ledge, who said during twenty
vears of relationship with Mr,
Hodgson as a church member, and
large supporter of religious activ
ities, he never knew him to seek
to use his position as the church’s
largest supporter, to exert any
dominance over its affairs. He
was secretary and treasurer of the
Sunday School, as well as a mem
ber of the church choir and was
a regular attendant at Sunday
School, prayer meeting and preach
ing services, said his pastor.
Dr. Hill compared Mr. Hodg
son’s life wtih a vision of Heaven
which he drew, pointing out that
it was a lifes which had reached
the heights in many places, and
could be termed a success in every
way. 2 .
Demonstrating - their attachment
and love for the man whose sudden
death last Friday caused commu
nity-wide sorrow, citizens from all
over the county attended the ser
vices, filling the main auditorium
of the church and the Sunday
School annex. Even these were
not large enough to seat the
crowd and many stood throughout
the service.
Following the funeral services
at the church the body was inter
red in Oconee cemetery. The hon
orary escort comprised the Elders
of his church, his associates on
the Board of County Commission
ers, and other county ofticials, the
Mayor and Council of Athens,
Board of Education, members of
the class of 1875 of the Univer
sity.
The active pallbearers were the
follgwing nephews of Mr. Hndg
son: E. R. Hodgson, Jr.. Harry
Hodgson, Dr. Fred G. Hodgson,
Atlanta; Joseph L. Hodgson, At
lanta; Walter B. Hodgson, Mor
ton S. Hodgson, Dr. Harold B.
Hodgson, George T. Hodgson, Jr.,
of Jacksonville; Russell Hodgson,
Roy Hodgson, Demorest, Ga.; Ru
fus J. Turner and Robert D. Mure,
Schenectady, N. Y.
Surviving Mr. Hodgson are his
wife, Mrs. Isabelle Turner Hodg
son; his daughters, Mrs. John B.
Gamble, of Athens; Mrs. Merkle
Jacobs, ‘of Philadelphia; Miss
Edith Hodgson, of Athens; and
his sons, Ralph R. Hodgson, and
Hugh L. Hodgson, of Athens;
Clifford L. Hodgson, of Boston;
and his brothers, Thomas A.
Hodgson, of West Falls Church,
Va., and George T. Hodgson and
Francis M. Hodgson of Athens.

UNITED STATES WILL
(By the Associated Press.)
Forests and farms of Atlanti's
seaboard states were spotted to
day with black patches of wide
spread fire as thousands of men
continued to combhat the roaring
menace in scores of scattered dis
tricts.
Damage already done was esti
mated in the millions and it was
feared that other millions would
be lost bhefore the flames were
quinched. The fires were attribut
ed variously to incendiarism, to
the careless tossing awgy of light
ed cigaret stubs by motorists, and
to rubbish fires, Strong winds in
many places fanned the fires and
hampered fire fighters. New Jer
sey apparentfy'”’fié% the situation in
hand after Sunday fires had caused
more than $1,000,000 damage to
property, but other states were
less fortunate.
Twenty-five fires were burning
in New York state, though blazes
which did large damage on Long
Island and Staten Island yester
day, fringing, Manhattan with fire,
were- almost entirely under con.-
trol.
In New England many fires were
checked but some still raged. In
Massachuseits, Rhode Island, and
Connecsicutt volunteers and con
scripts fought the flames in two

Club, which revived two years
ago an old custom of the town’s
flower lovers. |

ment:
“The Garden Club sponso:s
these flower shows but doés not
limit them in any way to the

The public is invited to view the

flowers is urged to enter some
thing in the show. The various
classes in which the exhibits are
to be made were listed in Fri
day and Sunday’s Banner-Herald.
Two small corrections should be
made in these classifications as
printed. Urder the head of “pe:-
ennials” one entry was omitted.
There is to be a class for “the
best collection of perennials, rot
less than three varieties.” |
“The other correction is in re
gard to the non-competitive ta
bles, which read “no competitive
tables”. There arc to be tables

gardens in Athens, and many peo

hoped by the Gardea Club that
eve_yone who can will accept this
invitation to participate in the
flower show.

Senate Committee

London Naval Pact
WASHINGTON. — «#) — The |

hearings.
Chairman Haie of the latter
committee had planned to begin
hearings today with Secretary

The foreign relations commit

witness will be called, leaving the

OF REV. GREEN
Eev. H. O. Green used as a text
Sunday morning at Oconee Street
Church Deut. 6: 6-7, taking as his
theme “The Home.” “Home is the
sweetest, dearest and most sacred
place on earth. It's the sweetest
name save that of Jesus. The
birthright of every child born into
a home is religious training, but
oh! how many fail to get their
birthright. Parents, it is your
duty first to give the children
religious training. Too many of
us are depending on the preach
ers and Sunday School teachers.
I am sorry for any child that is
brought up without the influence
of a Christian father and mother.
There are many homes too poor to
have some of the convenierces of
today, some are only log huts
without sufficient things to give
comfort, but there are no homes
too poor to have family altars.”
Mr. Green gave three rules for
happiness in the home. First,
Godliness; second, Order; third,
Hospitality. He said that the
crown of the home is Godliness,
the beauty of the home is order
and the glory of the home is
Hospitality.
“Are we making Christians of
our children, or just church mem
bers?” Rev. Green asked. “You

Another Escaped Prisoner
From Clarke Is Captured
Hoke Booth Surrenders to
His Uncle, Bailiff C. A.
Scarbrough, in Madison
County This Morning.
Hoke Booth, one of the Clarke
county Dprisoners who escaped
from the jail last week and was
captured in Madison county only
to escape the second time sur
rendered to Bailiff C. A. Scar
brough, his unecle, in Madison
county this morning.
Bailiff Scarbrough brought
Booth to the Clarke county jail
where he was re-imprisoned.
Booth is the third of the pris
oners to be re-capiured. Tunney
Crowe and Roy Porterfield were
captured last week by Bailiff
Scarbrough at his home. Booth
was carried to Royston by his
uncle and escaped. The bailiff
said today Booth has been in
Madison county since his escape
and he was on the fugitive pris
oner’s trail all day yesterday. He
surrendered about 6 o’clock tnis
morning. . '.‘J““
Tunney Crowe and Roy Porter
field, after their re-capture, de
clared Booth was allowed to es
cape by his uncle, but the bailiff
emphatically denied the charge.
W. M. Walker, and 0. C.
Coope=, two federal prisoners who
escaped at the same time s
Booth, Crowe and Porterfield,
have not been rechptured.
After his release today from
the Clarke county jail under sl,-
500 bond signed by Madison
county friends, Booth said that it
was Not truc that his uncle help
ed him escape and that his uncle
owed him SSO for making whis-~
key.
Booth said he surrendered to
Bailiff Scarborough when he saw
in the newspapers in Elbert couti
ty that his uncle was being
charged with helping him escape
and that he, Booth, stole an au
tomobile in Gainesville. Booth
said Porterficld obtained the car
and brought it to where he left
Crowe and Booth on the corner in
Gainesville. Porterfield, said
Booth, claimed the car belonged
to his father. Walker and Cooper
refused to oo with them, so
Booth, Porterfield and Crowe
went to Scarborough’s home, ar
riving there about 4 o’clock the
next morning,
Booth said they tried to borrow
money from his uncle. The next
morning the bailiff took him to
town, Royston, on pretense of
going after money. Booth was
left in the car and Scarbrough
went after the Royston chief of
police. Booth escaped in the
meantime. The bailiff said his
handeuffs were /not in good work
ing order and he had no ammuni
tion. 7
Booth was charged with viola
tion of -the federal prohibition
law. He said they decided to es
cape about an hour before they
left the jail, last Tuesday morn
ing, going through a ventilator
to the roof and sliding down a
garden hose they found in the
jail which had been used to wash
out the cells. The hose was in
two pieces, making about fortv
eight feet in all.
