BREATHING SPELL
IN HONDURAN WAR
inn
Ne W I* * Largos,
comm oY troops supporting'the
dictatorship of former president
Lopez Guiterrez, in Honduras, and
General Vicent Tosta, commanding
one of the revolutionary armies have
agreed upon a 48-hour armistice,
according to advices received by
Manuel Paz, acting consul general
for Honduras.
The truce is accepted as indicative
of an early settlement of political
differences which led to the uprising
although no details of the terms were
received by Mr. Daz.
The trouble in Honduras grew out
of the presidential elcetion last fall
Neither of the three candidates for
the preideticy polled enough votes
for election and when the Honduran
congress, in conformity with the law,
attempted to settle the question a
deadlock resulted. Upon the ex-i
piration of his term at midnight Jan-,
uary 31, Guitprrez immediately pro
clamed a dictatorship. General:
Tiburcio Carias, one of the president
ial candidates thereupon launched an
uprising with the object of ousting
Guiterrez and holding another elect
ion. Carias and his followers, ac
cording to latest information receiv
ed here from Honduras, now control
the greater part of the republic and
are almost within reach of Teguci
galpa, the capital.

ECHO SINGING METHODIST
CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT
Illuminated Window Again—Story
Sermon of How Peer, Hhe Nor
wegian, Had the “Great Hunger”
of His Life Satisfied.
- Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather and the large number of
sick folks in town last Sunday was a
good day at the Methodist church.
The absence of many was noted at
Sunday school and the morning ser
vice, but with the approach of spring
and the abatement of the measles
epidemic and other sickness we are
expecting a great increase in attend
ance.
At the evening service very nearly
a house full braved the cold east'
wind to see and hear “The Life, Of
Christ” illustrated with fifty beauti
ful pictures taken from events con
nected with the life of Jesus. The
large congregation gave such atten
tion that some one remarked that
one could have heard a pin drop. It 1
is certain that lasting impressions
were made. The attendance of the
children and young people was es
pecially good.
Next Sunday morning the second
sermon in the series on “The Temp
tation or Christ” will be preached at
11:30. In that temptation Christ
was carried to the pinnacle of the
temple and satan said to Him, “Oast
thyself down,” but again Christ
utterly put him to flight.
At the evening service at 7:2C lt a.
new feature will be introduced into
the services in the use of echo sing
ing of “In the Cross.” The message
of this old, old song will thus maker
a well nigh irresistible appeal. You
will not want to miss this. During!
the singing of this song the window, t
“The Rock of Ages,” will again be
illuminated, this time by the use of
the stereopticon, which wi]l make
the effect more impressive than ever.
At the evening service the sermon
will be on “The Great Hunger.”
This is the story of a Norwegiar
who had that great hunger which
all of us have and who tried to sat-,
isfy it in various ways, by knowl
edge, by travel, by success, by love,
but who finally found satisfaction in
the only way it can be found.
You will have a warm welcome at
all these services.
The Car Was Completely Wrecked.
None of the Passengers Were In
jured—Driver Arrested.
A Ford driven by J. A. Stansel, of
Atlanta, with L. W. Clark also in the
car, crashed into Homer Leather
wood’s bus near the overhead cross
ing of the Seaboard about 7 o'clock;
Sunday night.
The bus contained seven or eight
passengers, three of whom were
ladies, and had just left Lawrence
ville on its way to Atlanta, when it
met the Ford not far from the Davis
place. The impact wrecked
smaller car, and the bus wus likewise
damaged.
Sheriff Garner was called to the
scene of the accident and placed
Stansel and Clark under arrest, while
Dick Garner and another passing ear
carried the passengers on to their
destination.
It is alleged that the occppants of
the Ford were drinking and were
responsible for the collision. They
were kept in the lockup all night and
released Monday morning, when they
they agreed to return to Lawrence
ville Saturday for a full investiga
tion pf the whole affair.
The damaged bus was brought
back to town and is still out of 6om r
mission.

NEW TRIALDENIED
BENNARD ON
LIQUOR CHARGE
Atlanta, Ga.—J. M. Bennard,
Gwinnett county deputy sheriff, who
was convicted last week in United
States district court here of con
spiracy to violate the national prohh
ibition act sentenced to serve
two years In the federal penitenti
ary was denied a new trial by judge
Robert T. Ervin, in the same court
Tuesday.
Attoreny James A. Branch, of the
law firm of Branch ti Howard, in
dicated that the case would be car
ried to the circuit court of appeals,
3nd Judge Ervin granted a aisty
day timid limit in which the writ of
error and bill cf exception* may be
filed. He fixed Bennard’e bone at
15,000, and it was promptly made.
Bennard’s new trial plea was
based on the contention that Sheriff
E. S. Garner and Deputy Sheriff
Howard Garner, the two other Gwin
nett county officers who were placed
on trial with him under a joint in
dictment, were acquitted, and that
the fourth man named in the indict
ment, A. L. (“Red”) Tosh, had ap
peared as government witness and
would, in ell probability, be cleared
of the charge.
Ervin, in his ruling, stated
that Howard Garner has been dis
charged for lack of evidence, Sheriff
Earner had been cleared by the
ame jury that convicted Bennard,
and that Tosh, if tried and found
guilty, would, in all probability, not
get off without penalty, but that the
court would possibly exercise len
iency in its sentence.

voice over the wire. “I’m so sorry

over her golden locks, drew a new

rushing from the house she hailed

M’ADOOHAS
GOOD CHANCES
Auguste, G.., February 27, —The
chances of William G. McAdoo to
secure the Georgia delegation grow
stronger every day. The large nu
mber ui McAdoo clubs over the state
have n creased rapidly, especially
during the past week after hist boat
of ardent supporters, so enthusiastic*
ally endorsed his candidacy, aad
droves of citizens hourly seek to bu
counted among his friends.
FYom Augusta, Thomas J. Hamil
ton, editor of The Augusta Chroukiu
and chairman of the Georgia M*»
A duo committee, who headed the
Georgia delegation at the Chicago.
conveutOß on February 18th and
assured those in attendance in A
brilliant speech that Georgia, the
state of Mr. McAdno’s nativity, was
a solid unit behind his candidacy,
has issued the following statement:
' “The state of Georgia, netOSr
latent in its belief in the superiority
of its native son as the one demo*
cratic candidate for the president
of the United States who is certain
of election to that high office, has
come out stronger than ever in its
demand that the delegation from
Georgia be sent to the national
democratic convention in New York
with instructions to stand one
hundred per cent behind the candi
dacy f William G. McAdoo.
“McAdoo clubs in the state, num
bering over one hundred and with
membership of over 50,000 men and
women, are strengthening them
selves, and numbers of others are
springing up in all sections of the
state. Reports received from these
organizations are most encouragiag.
Constantly from every county come
reports of leading citizens making
enthusiastic talks in behalf of hi*
candidacy.
“Recently at Monroe, during the
noon recess of court, E. B. Weather
ly, prominent Macon attorney, de
livered a strong speech for Mr. Mc-
Adoq and was entnusisasticaily re
ceived. Previous to speaking. Mr.
Weatherly made a canvas of the
business disttrict of Monroe in com
pany with Ed. A. Caldwell, editor of
The Walton News, and was most
cordially received. He found Mc-
Adoo supporters at every turn and
■was assured that McAdoo would
carry Walton county. • *“
“This is only an instance of the
general trend of expression through
out the state. Only a few days
ago Mrs. Edgar Alexander, of At
lanta, state manager of the woman’s
headquarters of the Georgia Mo.
Adoo committee, issuer a statement
in which she declared that Mr. Mc-
Adoo was the most feared of the
democratic candidates. Mrs. Alex
ander uarssted that where Mr. Mc-
Adoo’s support was thought less
strong was where repuhlicians were
carrying n a poison campaign in
behalf of any candidate rather than
him, for, Mrs. Axelander repeats,
the republicans are afraid of Ms.
McAdoo.
“Georgians realize that William
G. McAdoo, native born Georgian
and lover of the south, will sweep
the country overwhelmigly on the
democratic ticket, and they are go
ing to call for their delegation,
whep they go to the primaries on
March 19th, to stand behind him at
