Rev. R. W. Thiot Preached
Strong Sermon Last Night on
"Sin.”
Rev. R, W. Thiot preached to a good
slxed congregation last night on "Sin.”
He said that when a man commits
sins God finds him and punishes him
He said that man always tries to hide
hts sin. That it Is often the ease that
men get Into the church to hide their
sins; that they might hide their sin
from men, but that they could not
hide them from God. Adam tried to
hide himself; David and Arhan tried
to hide their etna, and Saul condoned
his sin, but God always found them
out and punished them, he said. He
said that no matter how small the sin
might be In one's sight nor how secret
it might he that God was going to put
Ills finger on It.
Mr. Thiot Is conducting hts own
meeting and the Holy Spirit la there
In power. Meetings are held every

OE M NEGROES
Probably Over 100 Indians
Killed in Race Riot. Wierd
Story From Quatemala.
New Orleans. —The United Fruit
Co., today W3K attempting to confirm
by wireless a strange story of a race
riot on one of Its plantations in Guan
temala, in which it is reported 64 ne
groes an I prabably 100 Indians were
killed, i-'moulderlng race hatred of
the native Indiat’s for negroes, in
flamed by one of the negroes win
ning the Indian girl, Nazada. from he'
father at dice and his refusal to sell
her hack to a native is reported to
have caused the trouble.
The negro, Clarence Williams, hart
been employed on the Teuahuena
farm, one o; the United Fruit planta
tions In the Montagna River district
according to the story, and had In
curred the hatred of many of the In
dians because of his success with
dice.
As the story goes, Christofo Zurello,
a half breed Loss of a neighboring
farm, had wanted Nazada asa wife
for his son and was Incensed when
h'> learned that she had become the
property of the negro. Zurello offer
ed the negro thirty pesos for the girl.
Mutilated With Knives.
The negro refused. Soon after
Williams left for his work Saturday,
May 9th. three men appeared at the
shanty. A few hours later he found
his Indian girl tied to a nearby tree
and mutilated with knives. Just be
fore she died she told him that Zurel
lo, a peon named Pedro and a half
breed had assailed her. He sought
out these three. It Is declared, and
killed them.
That night fighting started between
the negroes and Indians and was kept
up for many days. According to the
story of the bodies of sixty-four ne
groes were found. Just ht*v many
Indians were killed probably never
will be known.
DORSEY AND THE
GOVERNORSHIP
Protest Being Made Against
Injecting the Leo Frank Case
Into Politics.
Atlanta, Ga. —A state-wiri* protest Is
being mad* against a movement which
is unaer way In Atlanta to put Hugh
Dorsey in the gubernatorial face and
mane the Mary Phagan murder case a
political Issue in the coming primary.
Strong politic:)l voices are also raised
against It here in Mr. Dorsey’s home
community, and present Indications are
that in the face of this feeling Mr. Dor
sey's proposed candidacy may not ma
terialize.
The point is marie that if Mr. Dorsey
runs at all, he would have to run on the
Frank case as a platform, since he has
nevtA- taken any part in the public or
political !1f« of the state and is known
to the public at large purely and solely
through his connection with this single
case as solicitor general and prosecuting
attorney.
To Inject the Frank case Into politics.
It Is believed by many people here, would
he harmful to the welfare of Georgia,
hurting the state at home and In the
eyes of the world. How widely that opin
ion is concurred in In other' sections of
Georgia may be Judged from the tone
of the press.
Says the Washington, Georgia, Report
er. with its usual conservatism, “we
have great respect for Hugh Dorsey as
a lawyer, but we fall to see where his
conviction of Leo Frank In any way
qualifies him for the governorship."
The Macon News, under a title “po
litical Accidents." says, "Dorsey may be,
but he has not yet r**oven himself a
big man. He has never taken a big
part In the public life of the state In
a political sense he has been created by
series of unusual circumstances. The
Frank case alone has made h m.”
“We must by all means keep the
Frank case out of the gubernatorial
race." says the Savannah Press
"It would he unfortunate In many*
ways for Mr Dorsey to become a can
didate for governor Just now." says the
Athens Banner. "It would he unfortunate
for him and for the state."
Continue Contempt Case.

OUIAAET LOST TO
ENGIISRJOUTH
Open Golf Champion of U. S.
Defeated With Ease By Boy
Player, Tubbs.
Sandwich, England.—Francis Oui
met, open golf championship of the
United States was eliminated as a
contender for the British amateur
championship toady. He was defeat
ed with apparent ease by “Young”
Tubbs, a hoy player from a nearby
course at I.ittlestone-on-Sea.
Ouimet got into difficulties on the
fourth hole, taking seven strokes,
while Tubbs made it in a clean four.
The Englishman was never in danger
thereafter At the turn Ouimet was
one down and Tubbs finished the
with 2 up. The card:
Out—
Ouimet 554 744 535—42
Tubbs 554 443 555—40
In—
Ouimet 554 455 355—41—83
Tubbs 453 545 464—40—80
The defeat of Ouimet cast a gloom
over the American contingent but the
cloud was partially dispersed shortly
afterwards by the brilliant victories
of Frederick Herreshoff, New York,
and Harold Webber, Toledo. Herres
hoff beat J. R. Platt, of the Royal
North Devon Club, 4 up and 3 to play.
Webber beat K. M. Karlisle, of Su
ningdale, 7 up and 6 to play.
Arthur G. L/ockwood, of Massachu
setts, was beaten by 2 up and one to
play by Mr Hayward, of Ealing.
Harold H. Hilton, holder of the
British amateur championship, beat
Robert Harris, of Acton, England, by
2 up and 1 to r lay in the third round
Harris was the runner up to Hilton
last year.
Evans Wins.
Sandwich, Eng.—Chas. W. Evans,
Jr., of Chicago, won his match in the
third round, defeating H. VV. Scott,
3 up and 2 to play.
Weak on ths Green.
Sandwich, Eng.—The defeat of the
young American open champion
proved as great a sensation as had
that of Jerome D. Travers, American
amateur champion. It had been
thought that Ouimet would have no
difficulty in disposing of the com
paratively unknown and youthful
Tubbs.
Ouimet’* weakness on the green
proved his undoing. On several oc
casions he was short of the hole and
he occasionally overran it. Sometimes
he missed easy putts. At the last hole
he failed to get down a three foot
put.
Herreshoff. after a weak start in
his match had little difficulty in dis
posing of J. R. Platt by four up and
two to play.
Harold Weber completely outclassed
