CRUSADE AGAINST SIN Religious Wave Strikes Winder and His Satanic Majesty Gets Busy in Attempt to Muddy the Waters. Winder has been in the midst of a religious warming up for the past two weeks. Evangelist Yiolett has been con ducting a series of revival services at tin* Christian church, hurling tin words of the Holy Bible at sinful men, preacning Jesus Christ and Him crucified, repentance and bap tism for remission of sins and there after an every-day consistent Chris tian lift*. He is making it quite plain that all sinners look alike to him —the church member must un cover his lamp and let it shine and the sheep which have wandered further from the fold must repent and seek salvation to entertain a hope of joining the celestial choir in beulah land. The great boog-a-boo of the mode of baptism has not been raised dur ing the entire series of meetings, and we have not heard a sermon preached which could not have been delivered from any pulpit in the town, but the old devil has be come uncomfortable, and when Rev. W. T Ilunnicutt announced his subject for last Sunday morning as “Methodism and What It Stands For,” his Satanic majesty gathered his long-tongued gossips to his bosom and whispered, “We’ve played our cards well,” but lo and behold he only heard a recital of what the great army of Methodists have done and are doing to save sinners and evangelize the world. From their pulpits so far the preachers are fighting sin and plead ing with sinners, and we care not from whence it comes, the scatter ing of discord and gossip is born of the devil, and those guilty thereof a.re in danger of that terrible pro fession, Mat. 7:23, “I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Mr. W. E. O’Neil spent Monday in Union City. M rs. F. W. Bondurant is visiting friends in Atlanta. Miss Runette Westcott, of Macon, is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. H. Toole.

SCKIEE, THEY SWORE TALSELY. Judge C. 11. Brand, <>f Athens, was in t! e city today, and at D o’clock received a plea of guility from Messrs. A. B. Evans and W. B. Hunt, who has been incarcera ted in tilt- Walton county jail for several weeks for the serious crime ■of perjurv, having testified falsely in the ease of the State vs Olin M. Thompson, charged with the mur der of J. 11. Bowen. The minimum sentence of four years in the penitentiary was passed by the judge, and at an early date the prisoners will begin their time of servitude. B. F. Towler, charged with per jury, being able to make the icquired Ixmd, will not be tried until the August term of Walton Superior court, at which time it is expected that other developments of interest pertaining to this case will be brought to light. Both Hunt and Evans stated in open court that they had been over persuaded to swear falsely. Hunt said he had heed paid. Evans stat ed that lie had been promised pay, hut they hadn't yet paid him. It is feared by some that this is an end of this perjury investigation. It seems that the people will not he satisfied without a full investiga tion. —Walton News.

The Young Matrons’ Club which has recently Ixn-n organized, and which holds its meetings semi monthly, was entertained delight fully by Mrs. O. M.

After spending an hour very pleasantly over dainty needle-work, the guests were seated for a game of hearts at small tables placed at sociable intervals from each other.

FEARFUL DAMAGE DONE By Recent Cyclone - Death and De struction Strewn in Its Wake— Narrow Escapes Near Winder. Tn the cyclone that passed over Georgia Friday night, thirty-four lives were claimed, nearly a hun dred persons injured, and thousands of dollars in property completely swept away. All told, nine counties suffered heavily. They are Bartow, Hall, Haralson, Carroll, Polk, Dougherty, and Chatham. The.losses in Haralson, Polk and Dougherty were by far the largest. 1 he reported killed in Georgia is as follows: In and near Buchan an, Haralson county, 1:5; in Ce dartown, [Folk county, 12; in and near Albany, Dougherty, 6; near Clarksville, 2; at Bowden, 1; at Gainesville, 1. The complete list of injured is not known, but from all accounts it will amount to 100. The clyclone did not confine it self to any one section, but came in a wide path from Bartow county, on the north, to Thomas county, on the south. It finally disappeared into the Atlantic ocean at Savannah, after causing serious damage in Chatham county. It is impossible to estimate the property losses. Savannah alone reports nearly $lOO,OOO. That how ever, is small compared to the de vastation in the other cities. The greatest number of dead and injured is reported from Horn Lake, Miss. Here eighteen persons were killed. So fur as can be assertain ed the casualties in Tennessee were sixty-seven killed and seventy-eight injured; Arkansas, fourteen killed and many injured and Alabama and Mississippi added a large number to the list of dead. NEAR WINDER. Although no lives were lost in this immediate section a number of miraculous escapes from death were made. The home of Mr. Nick Parker, who lives about three miles from Winder, on the Jackson and Gwinnett county line, was com pletely blown from its foundations, leaving he and his wife and a fam ily of seven children unharmed on the floor of the sitting room. The remainder of the house and out- buildings were carried away, and, it is said, hams and sides of meat were found in a field some two hun dred yards from where the smoke house originally stood- The home of Mr. LaFayette Jones, of Chandler’s district, Jackson coun ty, was carried away by the storm. When the storm approached Mr. Jones gathered his wife and baby and ran and jumped into a near-by ditch- In a few minutes thereafter his house was raised from its foun dations and scattered over the adja cent field. Damage to outbuildings was also done on the places of Messrs. J. C. Patrick, Bud Jones, Milton Barrett, Jack Jones and Mr. Willbanks. On the planta tion of Dr. L. W. Hodges, near Oak Grove, residence and outbuildings were destroyed. The cyclone was preceded in this section by a terrific hailstorm. A basket full of the stones werebrought to Winder from Mulberry which were as large as hens eggs when they arrived here- NO 7
