of ►sorrow and regret to his many
friends here. The service was con
ducted by Rev. Jno. H. Wood. It was
simple and informal in character. Af

portions of Psalms 90 and 108 and
John 14, brief talks of appreciation
were made by Messrs. J. M. Jackson,
A. G. Lamar, Claude Mayne, Mrs. Jno,
H. Wood and Rev. T. C. Buchanan.
All of those spoke in highest terms of
Rev. Moss’s unblemished character, his
kindness, his eloquence as a preacher,
his charity, and many other splendid
charaetistics. Rev. Wood then spoke
briefly of Rev. Moss as he had long
known and loved nim, of his visit to
him, a short time before Ms death, and
of the kind and loving messages that
he sent back to his friends in Winder.
The music, which was beautiful and
appropriate, was in charge of Mrs. AV.
A. Bradley. She and the quartette had
chosen three songs which were known
>to be especially loved by Brother Moss,
and tliest) were renderd with deep
feling. These were: “I Need Thee
Every Hour,” “Abide AVith Me,”
“Crossing the Bar,” sung as a solo,
“Home of the Soul” and “Sometime
AAVIi Understand.”
All of AA’inder has felt deep sadness
and regret over the untimely home

he did, the kind words he spoke, tin*
spotless life he lived among, us. will
live and bless all who knew him
through years to come.

Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 2—AVlien the
jurors, who for two days had been
trying Abe Powers on a charge of hav

scheme, entered the superior courtroom
of Fultou county yesterday afternoon
shortly after 2 o’cloek and announced
that they were ready to return a ver

prophet.
Turning to the press table, he raised
his hand and showed live entended
fingers. AA T hen he did so lie smiled,
though the smile was sickly. The next
1 moment displayed his accuracy. The
I solicitor general read the verdict. It
was that the jury had found him guilty
and that his maximum punishment was
five years, his maximum punishment
| was the same thing—and then Powers
closed his five fingers.
I Still trying to smile, and still chew
ing gum with a feverish energy that
betrayed his emotion, he stood to re
ceive his sentence. That delivered he
returned to prison and to his wife, still

implicated with the alleged wire tap

WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY DECEMBER 2, 1920.
CAN THESE THINGS
HAPPENINWINDER?
It was about this season of the year,
two years ago, that we made tlie fa
mous hike to the Rhine. The days were
bitter cold, the like of which we sel
dom experience in this Southland.
Our regiment stopped for the night
in a town about the size of Winder.
We billited our company and I sought
shelter in one of the old fashioned
stone homes. The good lady showed
me a room and tried to tell me how
glad she was that an American soldier
was to occupy the room that had long
been Inhabited by a German officer.
The Germans had taken everything
in the room that was of any value,
all the bed clothing was gone. The
mattress that was made to the bed was
all that was left.
Before my departure, I discovered
that the lady, her eight year old son,
uml her old mother were the only oc
cupants of the home, and that they
were living on a fare you would not
expect your dog to eat. They had
cabbage boiled in clear water, no meats,
and a mixture they called bread, made
of beach nut and brand.
The old grandmother, hungry and
cold, seemed cheerful and glad that the
Germans were gone. The mother was
working with anew determination
and happy over the thoughts that some
day she would be able to make a plenty
for them to eat. They made no com
plaint of being hungry, but before I
left I gave the boy a cracker, and never
will 1 forget how he seized with his
two hand the hard cracker and with
a hungry look I had never seen and
never hope to see again, he ate it
almost without looking up.
It was then that I learned from the
mother the story of how they had and
were still suffering the pangs of hun
ger. I gladly gave them the last crack
er from my pack, and when I left the
home the little boy was holding them
fast and calling out, “Long Live Amer
ica.”
As I write this I fancy I hear you
say: “If it were not so far away, I
would gladly deny myself of one meal
or a few pennies in order that this old
and liepless grandmother might at
least have plenty to eat in her lust
days. And the mother and hoy be
free from hunger and cold.
Some days ago I visited a home in
AA’inder, where lives a widowed mother
and six small children They, tot*
are hungry. The only food in the
house was a handful of meal. They,
too, are cold, the two beds wiiere
sleep the seven, have not enough
cover to keep them warm these cold
nights, to say nothing of the empty
coal bin.
To my knowledge, there are six other
families at our very door, that are
really suffering. There is not a man
or boy at either place to help furnish
substance. They did not ask for help
when 1 1 <§y had work, they are not ask
ing for it now, hut they are practically
out of work and in need.
I know you want to help—we all

Plan to Overthrow Obregon Discovered
by Federal Raids on Border
Cities—Arrests Expected
San Antonio, Texas, December I—-
Wholesale raids by department of
justice officers, conducting simultane
ously Monday at various border points,
including ElPaso, Eagle Pass, Leredo,
Brownsville and this city, netted a mass
of documentary evidence of the forma
tion on this side of the border of anew
revolutionary movement against the
Obregon government in Mexico, accod
iiig to a statement made here tonight
by W. A. Wiseman, special agent for
the department of justice.
According to Mr. Wiseman, the raids
were ordered by District Superinten
dent C. E. lireniman, with headquarters
here, and the evidence secured is being
collected in the office of the local fed
eral bureau of investigation. Depart
ment of justice agents heje are known
to be busy translating documents seized
during the raids, and a number of im
portant arrests are expected to follow.
Among the documents obtained are
several manifestos announcing the
alms and purposes of the new “refor
mista” movement, the leaders of which
are expected to he caught in the federal
dragnet now being drawn in, Mr. Wise
man said.
Lucio Blanco, former Carruncista, is

Obregon Takes Oath of Office
Mexico City, Decemberl —General Al

simple ceremony of taking tlie oath of
office marked tin* fourth time in the

executive power lias beyn transfered
peacefully. George T. Summerlin,
charge d’affairs for the United States,
was among those present at the cere
mony.
“Work Poor.”
Charles M. Schwab at one of his

Then he smiled and added: “lie’s one
