backbone of the Democratic party on
the Eastern Shore. His ambition was
to be Governor, then go to the Senate.
After many setbacks he finally reach
ed the Governors mansion, but when
he bid for the senatorship the prize
was denied him by the state bosses.
In the meantime another brother,
Wilbur, now dead, aspired to go to
Congress, and he changed his politics
and ran on the Republican ticket.
After he failed of election, William,
who had never taken an active in
terest in politics, playfully told his
brothers that they knew nothing about
running for Congress and he would
teach them an object lesson. In
strongly Democratic district "BiH
Jackson" as he is Familiarity called,
secured the Republican nomination
four years ago and to the surprise of
his friends was elected. He took his
success as joke and leased his broth
ers about their failures at such an
easy game.
Bill has received a third nomination
and 1t was thought that If Elihu could
be Induced to run against him there
would be plenty of money spent in
that district and the people of that
region would be as we'll represented
by Elihu as by Bill Neither of them
pretend to be statesmen. but both are
plain, practical business men, who
have made a success of life and have
reared interesting families. Elihu's
declination is explained by one of his
political supporters, who said:
"Elihu Jackson don't have to eat
chawed-over meat"

TEARS BROUGHT TO EYES OF
MANY BY EVANGELIST.
To Conquer Sin Requires the Touch
of Love, He Said.

To Conquer Sin Requires the Touch
of Love, He Said.
Although it is not customary to hold
religious services on Saturday night,
quite a large congregation gathered at
the tent last night. Rev. Mr. Ledbet-
ter selected as a text: Brethren, if a
man be overtaken in a fault, We which
are spiritual restore such an one in
the spirit of Weakness, considering thy
self lest thou be also tempted"
The discourse pointed out the
potency and power of love over human
lives. The recital of numerous eX-
periences where drunkards, gamblers,
harlots and the degraded had been i'm
pressed, won and saved, brought tears
to the eyes of many.
ITO reach this old sin-stricken world"
said the preacher, you can't do II
by attacks, charges and violent state
ments. 1t requires the touch of love,
the word of kindness, the look of SYM
pathy. Before these things the hardest
heart will be touched, the most stub
born will be reached. This old world
is dying for sympathy"
There will be services this afternoon
at o'clock, and $50 tonight.
In a few days the tent will be re-
moved to another section of the city,
this being a part of the work enter
pr1sed by the Methodist Union. 1t is
planned to have these special services
in every section of the city.

Cumberland, has been ordered by the
chief of engineers to report to Col
Quinn and return for work in this dis
trict. At present it is working in the
Delaware river. to which place it was

the boat at Fernandina, made by the
representative from that district, and
ny leading citizens. that the dredge
was obtained. II will be used to re-
store the channel at Fernandina,
which is badly impaired.

CAPT. J. A. HUTTON REPORTS
TO ADJUTANT GENERAL
Tells of Movement of Guards From
Time Alarm Was Sounded.

Tells of Movement of Guards From
Time Alarm Was Sounded.
Capt. ]. a. Hutton, commanding of
hcer of the Guards when they assem-
oled Tuesday for the trip to States
ooro. has prepared a statement which
he has forwarded to the Adjutant Gen
eral in which the movements of the
Guards are fully explained.
The report was dated Aug. II, and
says, in part:
AT 1920 p. m, Savannah city time.
the military call agreed on by the, First
Infantry was sounded. 1 at once re-
paired to the Guards Armory, and not
having been advised of the cause of
the alarm, endeavored to get into COM
munication by telephone with Lieut.
COL Grayson, commanding the First
Infantry.
Finding that impossible, I went in
person to the First Regiment Armory
TO see Col. Grayson in reference to
the cause of the alarm, and to ascer-
tain what orders he had. He stated
that Capt. Hitch had reported that he
was unable to control the situation at
Statesboro, was in danger of being
oVerpowered and asked for immediate
reinforcement. He stated he had re-
ceived orders to take as many men as
possible to Statesboro at once.
L asked Col Grayson if the men at
his command were sufficient, and If he
needed the assistance of the First
Heavy Artillery. He replied that he
did not think he had sufficient men,
and requested that 1 have such mem
bers of the Heavy Artillery as had re-
sponded to the call put on service uni
forms and hold themselves in readi-
ness, as he thought it would be neces-
sary to procure the assistance of a
company of the First Heavy Artillery.
Il returned to the armory and ad-
vised the other officers of the battalion
OF Col. Graysons request, and prepara-
lions were Immediately made to COM
ply Herewith. Shortly afterwards
received a message from Col. Grayson,
lnqulring how many men We're ready
for duty. 1 informed him that 1 at
that time had seventy-ffve men. In a
short while he sent back word for us
to join the First Infantry in the Park
Extension, at Hall and Drayton
streets."
After missing the special train, Capt
Hutton telephoned to the Governor
office, and was referred to Inspector
General Obear, who ordered him to
wait at the station for orders. Hear
ing of the work of the mob, the men
were ordered to the armory. On a
roll call it was found that 10 officers
and 121 men were present for duty.

Utah Missionaries Have Been Hold
ing Services in the City.
Macon, Aug. 2O.-Public protest is to
be made against allowing certain Nor
mon missionaries to continue holding
services in this city. There are at least
half a dozen representatives. of the
Utah church here, and it is stated
that they have made in the neighbor-
hood of fifty converts. They have held
street meetings unmolested for the past
two weeks.
The agitation has been started by
Rev. w. N. Ainsworth of the Mulberry
Street Methodist Church. who an
nounces that he will preach against
them tomorrow night. 1t is under
stood that he is now working toward
having them expelled from the city on
the ground that their doctrines are
pernicious. No one seems able to state
just where the missionaries are living,
and the careful manner in which they
have concealed the real doctrine which
they were advocating has thrown the
people here off their guard.
