DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION AT HOPEWELL
AN OCCASION OF GREAT INTEREST
Large Crowd Attendes--- Many Sunday Schools
Represented--Splendid Program Arranged
For Day--to Meet at Camp Creek Next.

The Lancaster County Interdenom-
national Sunday School Convention
net at the Hopewell Methodist
church September 8, 1915. Previous
to the meeting the church and churcn
grounds had been put in order. Sew
eral bunches OF fall flowers, placed in
the church, added to the simple
beauty of the church.
The district contains the following
schools: Antioch, Bethel, Bethle-
hem, Camp Creek. Hopewen, Oak
hill, Shiloh, Spring Hill, Union,
Unity. Tabernacle, Tirzah and Zion.
Each of the above schools was re-
presented by delegates, which was a
splendid record.
The enthusiasm of this great Sun
cay school work was shown by the
immense crowd present.
This was the second meeting of
the convention under the leadership
of our able president, Mr.. John T.
Green of Lancaster He is a man
With strong and energetic powers,
and inspires all with whom he comes
io contact. We believes he is the
right man in the right place.
After devotional exercises by Mr..
K. l.. Beatty of Lancaster, the meeting
vas called to order by the district
president, Mr.. A. C. Roweil. Mr..
Rowell was elected president of this
district at a recent meeting OF the
convention in Lancaster. The dis.
trict is indeed fortunate in securing
him as their president. He works
with never-tiring will and is always
ready to do all in his power for the
advancement OF any good work
Prof. B. H. Clyburn was elected sec
retary of this convention.
First on the program was an ad-
dress by Rev. B. F. Carson on the
subject of Church to Sunday
School"
Mr.. Carson being absent the presi-
dent appointed Mr.. John Green to
discuss the subject. Mr.. Green's talk
was forceful and full of facts. 1t con
ltained much good advice to all mem
bers of church and Sunday school
He stressed the duty as officers of the
church in relation to The Sunday
school, showing that when the Sun
Gay school falls below the mark OF its
work the officers OF the church are
largely responsible. He brought out
the fact that no Sunday school could
rise higher than its officers.
Next on the program was an ad-
dress by Mr.. W. G. Ellis, district
president OF the second district, "The
Duty of the Sunday School to the
Church" He made mention of the
fact that when all members OF a Sun
day school arise to their full duty to
this great work ii would advance
with leaps and bounds as have never
Leen heard Of before.
The three main points in this dis
cusslon were as follows:

a few cases in Moultrie and requested
Judge Highsmith to preside for him,
therefore the change was made.
Judge Thomas is one of the best
known and most prominent superior
court Judges in the state He has held
the position of Judge in his circuit for
a number of years, and has never been
opposed for the position. Before he
was elected he was solicitor Of the

Two years ago Judge Thomas was
considered probable gubernatorial
candidate, and hundreds OF his friends
in all sections of the state urged him
to enter the race, but he declined.
This year he is again being mentioned
in connection with the governorship
and is considered by many as a prob
able candidate Judge Thomas, how
ever, is not discussing the question
just at this time, but it is known that
many friends are urging him to enter
the race.

the necessity for concerted action in
every city in the country in the inter-

some attention and a whole lot of
work and thought to the subject Sec
retary Bellamy is an eloquent speaker

BASEBALL? SURE,

James Sinclair of Waycross was
among the visitors to the city yester-
day. This is the first time Mr. Sin
clair has been in Brunswick in several
months. He has just recovered from
a serious illness and has been out
west on trip, which was beneficial
to him.
What about baseball this year?'
asked Mr.. Sinclair when shaking
hands with News representative.

wick has not thought of 1t yet. and it
is doubtful If the city will have any
league ball this season; in fact 1t

last year, Is thing of the past
Don't get that ideal at ALL replied
Mr. Sinclair. 81 have been around a
great deal here of late and the people
seem to want baseball, but they re

prime movers in the organization of
the old Georgia State league, and who
has always taken a great interest in
this fast little circuit, is Of the opinion
that the league should be reorganized
this year Times are better, he says.
and as soon as the weather gets warm
people will want baseball, and there
is no reson why the old Georgia State
league cannot be reOrganized.
He thinks it should be composed of
Brunswick, Waycross, Thomasyille,
Valdosta. Bainbridge and Fitzgerald,
and is sure that such a compact league
would go through the season success
fully Mr.. Sinclair hopes to see the
fans OF these cities hold meeting
shortly and discuss the matter, paying
the debts the various cities owe in the
old FLAG. league, retaining their
franchises and reerganizing the Geor-
gia State league.

says something like this: : The gods
at the outset divided man into men
that they might be helpful to himself,
as the hand is divided into fingers to
better to serve its end. Human life
today is but one great hand stretched
out aover the earth, and the different
races of men are but the different
finger parts and members of that
hand, and the hand is indebted to it's
fingers; cannot do it's work or be it,
self without them, and the different
races of men are the finger parts, and
if one race or finger on this hui
man hand is wounded and crippled
and hurt, the whole human race is
crippled, wounded, hurt and cannot do
it's work and cannot be itself"
January 2T will be observed in
Brunswick by the sale of American
flags. Free-will contributions can be
sent to julius Levy, local treasurer.

AARON WILLIAMS CHARGED
WITH KILLING WALTER
NEWMAN XMAS NIGHT.
ALL OF TESTIMONY is IN
Negro, in His Statement, Says
He Stabbed Newman in De-
fense of Half Brother-Te esti-
mony Is Contradictory.

Aaron Williams, who on Christmas
night stabbed and killed Walter New
man, will in all probability know his
fate today. The negro may get a
death sentence, he may be convicted
of murder with a recommendation
which would mean life imprison-
ment; he may be convicted of man
slaughter, if the judge includes this in
his charge to the jury, or he may be
acquitted altogether. All of these
things, it seems, are likely.
The evidence introduced during the
trial of the negro yesterday was con-
Trajectory and as far as the case has
progressed, it is question of which
the jury will believe. that for the state
or for defense. The states witnesses,
some five or six in all, testified pret-
ty well the same thing; tnat Williams,
without any prOVOcation whatever,
stabbed Ne w1nttfr;; thft--the dead man
and Herbert Bridges, half brother
of Williams, were in dispute and that
Williams approached Newman from
the oar and stabbed him.
The testimony for the defense We s
different and, while all of the witness
es did not submit the same testimony,
still they swore that Newman was at
tempting to shoot Bridges when Viii
liams intervened that he had either
pulled or reached for his revolver, and
that he had it in his hand when he
was stabbed.
The prisoner himself, in his state
ment, claimed that he stabbed New
man in defense of his brother, Bridges.
That as he approached the two ne,
groes, who were quarreling, Newman
pulled his revolver and was just about
to shoot when he rushed in and stab
bed Newman. So it will be seen the
jury has considerable evidence to
sift
After the statement of the defendant
jury until this morning, instructing
them not to discuss any feature Of the
case. The arguments will begin this
morning and the case will go to the
jury before noon. Williams is repre-
sented by Attorney J. T. Powell, while
Solicitor Thomas is assisted in the
prosecution by F. M. Scarlet.
The jury in the case is composed of
the following: B. T. Brown, Allen
Dubberly, C. C. Crofton, H. S. Red
dick, c. G. Holmes, Geo. e. Smith, r.
c. Brown, J. G. Pittman, G. b. Dan

JEWISH RELIEF DAY TO
BE OBSERVED IN CITY
American Flags to Be Sold Here
for War Sufferers.

President Wilson, by proclamation
addressed to the people of the United
States, set Thursday January 81 as
Jewish Relief day for sufferers of the
war. The following extract from an ad-
dress at a mass meeting in Carnegie
hall, in New York, by Protestant
Episcopal Bishop David H. Green, one
OF the speakers for the afternoon,
shows the broad humanitarian feeling
the world has for war sufferers, and
the starving, suffering Jews on the
other side of the seas will be material

waited by the generous contributions
that will be made relief day:

Jew and now | say again in this, his

the Jew
But beyond all that, and higher per
haps than all that, it is humanitys
debt. Some one has said that human
