Rev. Hodges begged the People to
Avoid Violence.

Rev. Hodges Begged the People to
Avoid Violence.
Statesboro, Ga, Aug. ia scene
rarely, if ever, presented in a court
room was enacted here this morning
when Judge Daley convened the spe-
cial term of Bulloch county court,
for the purpose of investigating the
murder of the Hodges family, and the
trial of those against whom bill OF
indictments might be returned.
In the presence of a crowd that fill
ed the Court House to overlooking
until no more could get in, and with
every lawn covered with citizens of
the county and those from adjoining
counties, the brother of the man who
was so foully murdered together with
his entire family raised his eyes to
heaven, and while all stood in rever-
ent attention, offered a prayer to God.
He pleaded for the strength to avoid
expression of the passions that might
rage in the hearts of the excited pub
lie. He prayed that all might be Civ
en- the strength to uphold the dignity
of the law. and to recognize the high
er laws or humanity.
For FIVE minutes the man of God
appealed to the higher court for the
spirit of sound-mindedness and the
true conception OF unbiased judgment
and that the sovereign law of the
state might take due course in the
affair that had torn the hearts of
many He prayed that there might
be no violence TO the cause of right
eousness.
AT the conclusion of the prayer Rev.
Hodges, who is a member of the Texas
Conference. and formerly a native of
Bulloch county, spoke for fifteen min
utes to those assembled in the court
room. Standing just to the left of
Judge Daley he spoke rapidly and
earnestly, with no exhibition of the
terrible anguish that wrung his heart.
His features were calm and his voice
steady. Friends" he began. "after

The last speaker was Capt. Edward
S. Gay of Atlanta, Ga. Capt. Gay
said: Il do not feel that I am asked
to rejoice with you in the triumph
of your arms In the Civil War and
the defeat of the cause for which
every true Confederate soldier was
ready to sacrifice life, but we do re-
joice with you that the principles for
which the South commended, in the
Union and out of it, survived the ter
rible shock of war and apparent de-
feat and to-day we may hold these
principles in common as essential to
perpetuity of our form of government
where the rights Of all are guaranteed
and the weakness of one becomes the
strength of all in an 'indissoluble
union of indestructible states
Accepting in good faith the terms
of surrender the men of the South re-
turned to their devastated homes, and
despite the gloom of waste and want
and poverty they grded their loins for
the conflict of progress and peace and
here we are, that you may rejoice
with us, that cur countrymen of the
South have met and are meeting the
issues of the living present in man
ner worthy of their record in war;"
Capt. Gay called attention to the
great material progress in the South
ana referred also TO the fact that the
sons of the South were not laggards in
the Spanish War. In closing he pray
ed that THE day be not far distant
when it will not be necessary to dis

was suspended all day, the stores
closing at 1870. This was largely due
to the large number of people in town
who focked into the stores with no
intention of buying and only interfered
with the transaction of business. The
