GOVERNOR HARDWICK

GOVERNOR HARDWICK is
not going to please us all at
all times; we shall likely differ
with him frequently in policies and
Judgments as will others. But as
he sets out on course aimed to
solve the difficulties which now
involve our state, to simplify gov
eminent, to lift citizenship, to
promote our peace, and to re-
trleve our good name he will find
US lined up on his side, instead of
sinking among the silent slack
Frs, or arrayed against him.
Calm consideration of his abil-
ity, his opportunity and his incen-
tive leads the Times-Recorder to
predict that Governor Hardwick
will go down in the history of
Georgia not only as an able and a
good governor, but as a great gov
ernor. Given the generous sup
port of all people as is his due. he
will come nearer making a great
governor than if his hands are tied
by factional opposition and zeal
Gus controversies within our state
borders.

MODERN MINISTERS

A Reason For Luke-Warm Re-
ligion, Says DR.. Thomas At
Ecumenical Conference
(By ,Associated Press)

(By Associated PreSs)
London, Sept 14EModern min
isters are. trained as mere sales
men" instead of Christian apOst-
les and that is one reason why
the people generally have luke
warm attitude toward religion,
declared the Rev. DR.. 5. Ladd
Thomas, OF Chicago, i'll All address
here today before the Ecumcnical
Methodist Conference The speak
er said he saw "a real peril in the
effort Of denomination leaders to
force the ministry into d narrow
and mechanical scheme whose di-
rect aim is to produce the largest
immediate revenue.
Poorly attended churches all
over the land bear witness to the
peoples indifference toward in
stitutional religion said DR..
Thomas. "Full churches are the
exception rather than the rule. 1t
is the empty church which starcs
us in the face and more elo-
qucntly than words speaks OF the
attitude OF that large group OF
people who nave rejected institu-
tional religion as something un
necessary in their lives.
They arc pleasure mad; they
have a mania ior matcrialistic in
diligence, while their belief in the
modern church as the representa-
tive of God and the Ambassador
of Christ does not express itself.
The real problem the speaker
indicated, ''is how to vitalize the
church so that she may authori-
atively and convincingly persuade
men of their divine inheritance
and the mission of sacriiicial ser
vice" Asserting that the "aver-
age artisan lacks confidence i'll
the church as the champion of the
square deal, he continued:
This Indifference has arisen
from misconception OF God. 4
wrong teaching Of God, a wrong
teaching OF the church and wrong
teaching Of the Christian life. In
many of the critical hours OF his
tory the church has failed to i'm
press the world with an authori-
tative message-which would
bring light into the dark hours on
the subject of war. the relations
of capital AMI labor and other vi
tai questions which have been
battling the mindse of NEIL"
"Prophets and priests" DR..
Thomas said, mus "challcngc
the people with a gospel that will
restore confidence in the church.

world The church must not lor-
| get her social message but she
must also remember that Chris
tianity is a religion OF the indi

LINCOLN ADDS
100000 POUNDS

Stanford, Ky, Sept. Thames
n. kehoe, Maysville banker, far
ner, and tobacco grower, Mon
day, told a large crowd@of Lincoln
county tobacco raisers i'll meet
ing at the court house, that they
had an opportunity by standing
together to obtain so cents a
pound for their tobacco, but that
if they stuck to the old method
of dumping their tobacco on the
market. they might expect no
better price than they obtained
last year.
Two hundred thousand pounds
of tobacco were pledged after the
meeting, the total for Lincoln
county now being 95O,OOO.
The meeting was enlivened by
a tilt between Mr.. Kehoe and Col
l. Nj. Dunn, who opposes the new
marketing plan. Colonel Dunn
is a warehouseman, and when Mr.
Kehoe made reference to certain
practices alleged to be followed
by buyers at some points in the
Estate, Col. Dunn made haste te
; say that it wasn't in this section
of the state, but in another, which
he named.
The audience cheered Mr.. Ke
hoes retort that neither Colone
Dunn nor himelf could be sure O
protecting his business from sucl
methods If the old system of mar;
keting prevailed.

went into the record and it is be-
lieved the defense will make use

Another fact brought out by
Mrs. Delmont's testimony was
that Miss Rappe died without
knowing what was the matter
with her. Over and over again,
as death was closing in ,on her.
the girl kept repeating:
I'm terribly hurt; I'm dying
he did it to me"
Efforts to get her to say what
had happened were without avail.
"Oh. | don't know, | don't
know" she moaned.
Arbucklc kept his eyes upon
the witness throughout the tcsti-
mony.
Mrs. DelmOnt finished her tes-
timony at noon. .Arbuckle took
more than usual interest when.
toward the close of the session,
Coroner DIR. +. B. w. Leland
asked the witness:
"How do YOU happen to re-
member what happened if you
had SO many drinks of whisky" :"
"My memory is always good"
she answered.
When the inquest was resumed
in the afternoon. Ira O.. FortlOuis.
Il salesman, took the stand. He
testified that he was present at
the party but left before Arbucklc
is supposed to have gone into a
bedroom with Miss Rappc.

to return to Los Angeles. He
was not present he said, during
the alleged attack. but came back
later and saw Miss Rape upon
the bed, apparently very i'll.
Scmnachcr also testified that
he visited Miss Rappc the day
following the party and she said
to him:
Roscoe hurt, r. --,.-- 81.
He said he did not hear the
screaming testified to by Mrs.
belmont and was surprised when
he heard the full details Of the
party from Mrs. belmont the
next day.
Prohibition officers announced
that they intended to question
Arbucl<le and the hotel manage
