Negro Lynched
at Delhi Troops
Sent to Scene
(By Associated Frees.)

Monroe, April 25.-Company D, Of
the Louisiana National Guards, left
this morning for Delhi where serious
trouble with negroes developed last
night. One negro was lynched.
The trouble which resulted in the
lynching is attributed to the surliness
and imudence of negro flood refugees,
many of whom refuse to work since
the government began distributing
free rations.
Yesterday while negroes were play
ing a slot machine, an officer walked
up and put penny in the machine.
A negroe tried to put the officer out
and later whipped him. The negro
made threats against white people and
a crowd gathered last night, caught
and lynched him. Quiet prevailed at
Celhi at noon.

Rep. HoneycuH Admitted
to Bail in Sum of 50, 500

Jackson, Miss, April 25.-Rev. w.
M. Honeycutt, who was arrested a few
days ago charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, it being
alleged that he had stabbed Justice F.
M. Featherstone, was tried yesterday
afternoon before Justice Manship at
the City Hall.
The State was represented by Coun-
ty Attorney Taylor and City Prosecut-
ing Attorney Hallam, and offered
about dozen witnesses who gave
their versions of the deplorable affair.
The defesse, represented by R. N.
Miller, of Hazlehurst, offered no wit
nesses whatever, being content to sub
NIT its case upon the evidence given
for the state.
The story told by Mr.. Featherstone,
who took the stand, was to the effect,
that while he was sitting at dinner,
Mr.. Honeycutt came to his gate and
called him out. When he reached the
sidewalk Honeycutt said: 81 under
stand you called my boy cur"
Featherstone replied that he had.
Honeycutt remarked, "That is not
true" to which Featherstone answer
ed, THAT is a matter of opinion"
Honeycutt then demanded an apollo.

came to blows. Featherstose, who is
a small man, was knocked down and,
he says, stabbed by Honeycutt.
Featherstone stated that he believed
Honeycutt would have cut bis throat
had it not been for his little dog,
which, running up and realizing his
masters danger, attempted to bite
his assailant.
DR.. Ware, who has been attending
Featherstone, stated that he was not
yet out of danger and that his wounds
might yet prove fatal.
At the conclusion of the trial, Judge
Manship announced that he would
place Honeycutt under a bond of
$2,500, to await the action of the
grand jury. Mr.. Honeycutt failed to
make bond while at the city hall, but
was released on the recognizance of
R., N. Miller, who agreed to act as his
bondsman until today, when Honeycutt
will be able to make the required
bond

the ladder and we will find that it
is love. Love is the base, love is the
first step in our climb towards God
1t is the virtue from which spring all
virtues. Love is impelling; having it
in right measure we find no difficulty
in moving up to the rung of forgive
ness, but there must be genuine love
or we cannot forgive. Jesus teaches
that unless we forgive men their tress-
passes neither will our heavenly fa-
ther forgive our tresspasses. The
saviors example while on the cross
should be our guide in setting this
question of forgiveness Righteous
ness was the next step in the ladder.
This does not mean simply keeping
the commandments. Not that we do
no harm, but that we do all possible
good. AS Jesus says, fulfill all right
eousness. This is possible only to the
man who makes complete surrender
of his will to Gods will "Here. God
I give myself to thee, it's all that
can do"
The ascent heavenward by the way of
Christ, means love, forgiveness, right
eousness; these steps taken, we ar
rive quickly at the last rung which
is joy in the Holy Ghost Joy is the
atmosphere of heaven.
