MR. DE HASS SPOKE OF ZIONISM
TO LARGE CROWD LAST NIGHT
Interesting Exercises at the Metropolitan Hall
Drew Large Crowd.
Under the auspices of the Schoshanas
Zion Society, Mr. J. deHass delivered
a most interesting lecture on Zionism
at the Metropolitan Hall last night to
a large audience.
Miss Annie Marcus, president of the
society, presided during the exercises,
which were opened with the Zion
hymn. Miss Lebenthal read an in
teresting paper on Zionism. Miss Ida
Bluestein read a paper of welcome,
and Mr. George Tunkle, of Augusta,
introduced the speaker.
Mr. J. De Haas delivered an enthusi
astic and earnest address on the moral
forces which had called the Zionist
movement into existence. Beginning
with a description of the difficulties
which Moses had incurred in the exo
dus from Egypt, the lecturer admitted
that the urgency of the present move
ment was due to Jewish misery all
over the Old World. That it expressed
the general Jewish discontent.
In Egypt the wail went up in Goshen,
ibut to-day Israel cries in all the lands
of the Diaspora. Thus Zionism wishes
to end, to cure. But this movement
baa been started by Jews, who are
moved by the sentiment ex
pressed by George Eliot in "Daniel
Veronda,” who feel the pulse heal of
their Jewish nationality, and who set
out to re-make a national existence
with the old Jewish praying cloth as
a flag protecting the Jewish people.
A great brotherhood had been found
ed, a brotherhood without secrets or
mystery, which, by existence, had
spread hope and light in the poorest

Six years ago I had a severe attack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up
in bed for six months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be
gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my joints were so swollen and pain
ful that I could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could not
move knee or foot. I was-getting discour

Jewish home in Russia, and he ap
pealed to ail Jews to forget their in
ternal differences, their sectarian in
terests and join this brotherhood. The
Zionist seeks to save the Jews, to
make a future for the Jews, so that
the people who have to maintain the
religion will be alive to do their
work. Until they are on an ad
mitted level with the other peoples
they cannot perform the mission
they lay claim to. And if in the lack
of saving their people they have to risk
anything individually which is
doubtful —that will only be a little
towards balancing history and keeping
up the tradition of martyrdom which
their ancestors suffered in order that
they might be there.
At the conclusion of Mr. deHass’ lec
ture the ladies' quartette rendered a
number and at the conclusion of the
exercises a reception was held at the
residence of Dr. R. Courshon.
During yesterday Mr. deHass was
the recipient of much attention at the
hands of the local Zionists. He was
taken in charge by a committee and
shown around the city. A visit was
paid to Thunderbolt, where refresh
ments were served. Upon their return
to the city the members of the party
were photographed.
This morning Mr. deHass will ad
dress the Council of Jewish Women’s
Mission School. He will dine with Rev.
George Solomon, and during the after
noon will be taken for a drive around
the city by Alderman Garfunkel. He
will leave to-morrow morning for
Augusta.
To-night at 8 o’clock Mr. deHass will
speak to the congregation B. B. Jacob,
at its synagogue.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 6. 1904.
ANOTHER PHASE
OF OSSABAW FEUD
FOR MURDEROUS ASSAULT
S. S. SASSER INDICTED BY SI PK.
RIOK COI'RT GRAM* JIRV.
Charged With Shooting at Henry
Mickler With Intent to Kill—Cane
Only Another Chase of Case Tried
at La*t Term of Conrt—Mickler
Wan Then on Trial—Two Other In
dictment* Retnrned at Pint Ses
sion of Grand .fury.
Another chapter at least is to be
added to the history of the feuds of
the Ossabaw Island residents, the first
step in that direction having been
taken yesterday, when the Superior
Court grand jury indicted S. S. Sasser
on a charge of assaulting Henry Mick
ler with intent to murder.
The indictment reads that the of
fense was committed on Oct. 3, with
a rifle, setting forth that Sasser fir
ed at Mickler with the intent to kill
him, having malice aforethought. A
plea of not guilty will, of course, be
entered and the case go to trial, prob
ably next week.
This shooting is only another phase
of the same case that was tried be
fore Judge Cann at the October term
of the court. At that time Mickler
was on trial charged with murderous
ly assaulting Sasser. The evidence
was conflicting and the jury, after con
siderable deliberation, returned a ver
dict of not guilty.
One of the features of the trial was
•the statement of the defendant, a
statement characterized by bitterness
and hale. He stated that he had tried
to deal with the man, but failed, and
that it was a "God’s pity that I miss
ed him, for it would have been a
good riddance to the community.”
Shortly after this trial the compro
mise decree was reached which seem
ed to point to a peaceable settlement
of the troubles on the island. Lit
tle things have occurred, however,
since that time that have fanned the
smouldering hate into a flame, and
now Mickler will attempt to convict
Sasser of a serious charge.
Circumstance* of the Case.
The circumstances of the case, as
brought out at the last trial, are some
what hard to determine, owing to the
conflicting character of the evidence
submitted. The uncontradicted facts,
however, are that Sasser was going up,
the river in his boat and
pass a point along shore on which were
Mickler and some other members of
the Larissey crowd.
Both sideh began firing and the
question to be determined is as to
which fired first. Mickler claims that
Sasser opened the leaden argument,
and that he replied in self-defense. Sas
ser claims he was first fired upon with
out warning and that then Mickler dis
appeared in the tali marsh grass. He
himself then fired into the grass at the
point where Mickler had disappeared.
Twiggs & Oliver will appear for Sas
ser and the solicitor general for the
state. Col. Robert L. Colding will ap
pear In behalf of Mickler.
Two Other Indictments.
Two other indictments were returned
by the grand jury at its first session.
One was against Joe Miller and James
Brown, charging them with burglary.
John F. McAvoy and B. Pedro were
indicted for assault with intent to mur
der, committed on J. W. Buckley. It
is charged that a knife was used and
that Buckley was badly cut.
In the case of Frank Wade, charged
with burglary, no bill was returned.
The grand jury for the December
term is composed of Messrs. George J.
Mills, foreman; F. X. Douglas, A. A.
Aveilhe, George S. Haines, George H.

school training work, was introduced,
and in a pleasant, practical manner,
represented the claims of his great
work. Mr. Hamill travels and writes
in the interest of the more thorough
equipment of Sunday-school teachers.
There is a patriotism in the South, he
said, that fires the hearts of every
boy and girl. This fire is well nigh
kindled in them at birth; it is drilled
into' them through their studies in the
schools. lam glad that this is so. Why
can’t we have a spiritual patriotism
moving the hearts of the thousands of
young people of our church. This is
what we need. This is what we must
have.

ing at least two exits to contemplated

of God that has saved us from fear
ful loss of life at this point.”

The Conference A**e**nient*.
Speaking of the difference of opinion
existing between two brethren as to
how the conference was to make the
several assessments on the districts, the
Bishop, by way of caution, said:
“Brethren, you need to take time just
at this point. There is more dynamite
here than at any other point in our
proceedings. Take time to equitably
and intelligently make these appor
tionments."
Rev. H. P. Myers presented the re
port of the Committee on the Wesleyan
Memorial Hospital, to be erected in
Atlanta. It is proposed to have the
churches throughout Georgia make a
Christmas Day offering to this insti
tution. The report was adopted. Ex
horting the use of Christmas Day for
this purpose, the Bishop remarked:
“Some of us are afraid to hold serv
ice on Christmas Day, for fear we
will be like other churches. Let us
make no mistake at this point. Use
every day that you can for God.”
Rev. W. N. Ainsworth, chairman of
the Epworth League Board, submitted
the result of their work.
Under the call, “Where shall the next
conference be held?" Statesboro, Quit
man, Valdosta, Waycross, Moultrie and
Americus asked for it. Americus was
selected by a large majority and the
vote was finally made unanimous.
Rev. C. R. Jenkins, a young minis
ter, who has been in the active ranks,
has accepted the chair of mental phi
losophy In Wesleyan Female College.
