FORCEFUL SERMON “THOU SHALT NOT KILL” LAST SUNDAY First Baptist Pastor Preached nusually Strong Sermon At First Bap tist Church Rev. W. H. Faust preached an unus ually strong and forceful sermon Sun day morning to a large congregation at the First Baptist church on ‘Georgia Carnival of Killing , ’ from the text: “Thou Shalt not Kill." This North Georgia preacher is a fearless Crusader for truth and an un compromising contender for law and order. In his characteristic way he said “life in Georgia today is regarded entirely too cheap the restless unsettled state in following the recent world war has brought about appalling conditions everywhere, and criminality of the bas est sort is conspicuously pushing itself to the fore.” He said selfish pleasure is crowd ing righteousness from the minds of the people. Thoughtless mothers are allowing their ruddy, buxom, impres sionable daughters to attend dances and be crushed in the lecherous ain braces of old rotteneil roustabouts, whose breath smells like a hilly goat that has been feeding on wild onions, and limburger cheese, and as a result life in its highest, holiest and truest sense is stifled at its source. Fulton. Oconee. Gwinnett Barrow, Walton counties are in the midst of an unprecedented amount of crime, said the preacher. “I have lived and worked for years in Northeast Georgia, the finest people on earth compose its citizenship, yet we are blindly and thoughtlessly mov ing towards destruction. Some John the Baptist is needed to preach re spect for life.” Barrow, one of the youngest and best counties of the state, has a criminality that is deplored by all her best Chris tian citizens. “The records of the Superior, Coro ner and Justice Courts show since its organization. 17 killings. These men and women, boys and girls had their lives ended abruptly. Life to them was as sweet as it is to you and me. “Pistol toting, bootlegging, gambling, carousing* amusement seeking, swim ming humanity is plunging hellward at a terrific rate. It is high time that thoughtful God-fearing, law-abiding citizens were trying to check this fear ful flood of criminality that is sweep over our fair state. The responsibility rests upon the homes schools, courts and churches of the state and it will take the most strenuous efforts of all the forces of righteousness to carry out the will of God and close up this Carnival of killing of the bodies, minds and souls of men. The $75,000,000 Road Bond Issue. That the success of the $75,000 000 road bond issue will serve to decrease rather than increase taxation in indi vidual counties is the statement made by the Georgia Good Roads Association which points out why there should be universal support of tlie bond plan. According to the association coun ties that have already voted bonds and built their portions of the state system will have such amounts refunded to them out of their portion of the bond money. These refunds may lie used in retiring county bonds, thus reducing the county taxes. Counties that have not yet done any work on their portions of the state system will have these roads built for them by the state, out of the bond money, at no cost to the county. The bond plan seems to be growing in favor all over tlie state. COMMUNITY SINGING The large number who attended the first Community Singing at the Chris tian church last month will be delight ed to learn that another Community Sing will be held at the same place on Friday the 17th. The town’s best singers will be there, together with several from the surrounding towns in the county, and the community generally is invited to come out and take part in these meet ings. Mrs. P. A. Morgan and daughters, Rebecca and Pearl, of Birmingham, Ala., are the guests this week of the former's sister, Mrs. L. W. Collins. Ninth District Medical Society. The semi-annual meeting of the 9th District Medical Society, will meet at Toccoa next Wednesday, March 15tli, at the Stephens county court house. Dr. H. E. Crow is president, aud Dr. J. C. Bennett is secretary and treasurer. An elaborate program has been arranged. DEEP INTEREST IN CHURCH AFFAIRS Large Number of Winder Fathers and Mothers Attending Church ami Sun day School Each Sunday.—Large Baraca Class. It is indeed gratifying that a large majority of the citizenship of V inder are taking a deep interest in things worth while, and the fathers and motn ers each Sunday are straining a point to arrange their domestic affairs and accompany their children to the church services and Sunday schools of tjieir respective creeds. A comparison of class membership in Winder’s Sunday schools now with that of only a few months ago reveals the fact that some devout Christians in Winder have lifted the bushels from over their lamps that others may he attracted by the brightness and beauty of their lights. A concrete illustration of the inter est being manifested by many men of Winder is shown each Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock at the Baraca class of the Methodist church. This class has a membership of 135 and the discours es upon the Bible history and the spir itual applications of the lesson for the day by the teacher, Mrs. A. D. McCur ry, are entertaining, instructive and highly appreciated by each member of the large class. Her explanation of the Book of Jo nah last Sunday and her description of his anger at the Lord for His for givoness of the people of Nineveh and been use the worms had destroyed the gourdvine which the Lord had caused to spring up to shade the old man from the heat of the sun was very impres sive. Any man who does not attend Sunday school would enjoy the hour and will receive a hearty welcome at the Meth odist Baraca class. Reporter.

Henningham Charges That He Had Been Made the Victim ut A Band of Masked Men. Governor Thomas W. Hardwick on Wednesday began an investigation of charges made before him Wednesday morning by Rev. B. N. Henningham, a negro Methodist preacher of Winder, that he had been the victim of an at tack by masked white men last Monday night who, he charged, took him from the home of one of tlie members of his church, carried him ten miles into the country and after stripping him and flogging him, ordermt him to leave Bat row county and never to return. Henningham said he could not iden tify any of the white men but knew they were white because he could see their necks and their hands. He said all wore masks aud were clad in over alls. He said they had spoken only briefly to him and had charged that lie was preaching Catholicism in liia church. Four pustors of Atlanta negro church es accompanied Henningham to tlie governor’s office. Henningham showed credentials showing that he is a minis ter of the negro Methodist cburcb. He told the governor he had served as a minister in Georgia for live or six years Henningham is a native of Jamaica and is a British subject. He spoke witli u broad English accent aud the gov ernor said it was probably because of this accent that the people in Barrow comity thought tiiut he was preaching Catohiicism. After he had been beaten by tho masked men Henningham said lie was placed in the road and told to walk until he got out of Barrow county and was ordered to keep on going until he had lieen placed at least live counties between him an Winder. He said he walked down the road for about two miles aud took u side road which led led him hack to tho home of one of the members of bis church. He said this member’s family took care of him, washed his clothes and obtained money for him to make the trip to Atlanta. Heuning ha in suid he started work on anew church building in Winder and it wus about half completed. He said the lot wus given to the church by a prominent white mail of Winder. Governor Hardwick had his stenog rapher take down the story told by lieuniiigham aud Wednesday afternoon he sent the evidence he hud obtained to Solicitor W. O. Dean, of tlie Wea ■ tern circuit. The governor told Hemniiigham lie [could return to Winder and be would notify tlie sheriff of Barrow county to see that he got protection. Henning ham said he would first go to Ken tucky to see his Bishop before return ing to Barrow county. A .telephone call to Sheriff H. O. Gamp at Winder, tonight elicited the infor mation that the first he had heard of the uffair was what he read in an af ternoon paper. The sheriff added that he hud been told about the same time by a Barrow county negro of the affair and that he was ready to answer any call the governor might find it necessa ry to make in the matter. He said lleiuiingiiam had been in the county about u year, to the best of his recol lection, and that he remembered that the negro bad been in the Barrow jail for a short time on a misdemeanor charge filed in Rome. Sheriff Gamp asserted that he could not recall th*y exact charge, but that it had been dropped or settled and after a short time he had released the preacher. Sheriff Gamp said he had not yet heard from Governor Hardwick, who it was said at the executive offices, had sent a detailed account of Henning iiam's story to Solicitor General W. O. Dean, of the superior court of the wes tern circuit and would call on tlie sher iff for such protection. Methodist Services 10:15 A. M.
