His Preaching Standing before an audience of probably three thousand, Rev.

It was a powerful, soul-3tirrint story and one that gripped his hear ers. He spoke as man inspired and at ths close of the sermon, at the in vitation a great many of the vast throng poured to the front to grip the speaker's hand. There was .noth ng of the sensational about Mr. Mc Lendon last night, he used no catch phrases and what few gestures, he used only emphasized the point he was making. : . One of the 'features of the night service was the; singing by the col ored people,-who delightfully enter tained the folks- with two selections. Their harmony was wonderful. It is hoped that they will sing again. It may be said that the interest, in the -meeting is increasing daily and it now looks like New Bern will have a real revival of religion. There will be services thia afternoon at' 3 o'clock and tonight at ,7:30 o'clock. Mfs McLenddnJp sermon ""was in part as follows;; , Fjalms 66:ie.

I waited awhile, but they didn't how up, I siid, well that meeting is the biggest thing in town r f-nd I'll go over and round them up. I went over to the tent and took a sit away back in the rear, I don't think I heard a word the preacher said.

I would cfcs my eyes and his face- wodld stand out there before me, would try to see wmetUng else, and his voice wou'd ring through my ears. "Young man, a man that looks like you and has :he appearance that you have the devil is doing dirt with h'm in this jountry." I was nervous and restless t couldn't sleep, and I would say to nysclf what is the matter with nie. Sut down in my heart I knew. I said 'f God will forgive me for going to ihat meeting I'll never go to another. bout 1 o'clock I got up and went to ifce closet and took a good, strong tracer cut of a bottle of Three Feath-, rs. but it didn't touch the spct.

ERION HARDWICK IS NEXT - GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA In Run-Off Primary" , He Wins .Over State Attorney Gener al Clifford Walker . ATLANTA, GaV Oct. 6. Thomas W. Hardwick,, former United States senator from-Georgia, who was de feated for re-election in his last race by Wm.-,J. Harrjsv was nominated for governor of Georgia today in a run off primary against Clifford Walker, the state attorney general, winning Oy a substantial majority. Tne issue was cieany denned on the league of nations. Mr, Hardwick stood steadfastly against the league, while his opponent ran on a platform of adherence to the same. In the first primary,, four eeks ago, Mr. Hard-1 wick led in a ' three-cornered race, lacking only one county of winning a clear majority. Both his opponents were for the league of nations and the Wilson administratoin. Under the Georgia primary law, a run-off pri mary is netssary in case no candi date receives a majority" of tha county united vote. Mr. Hardwick, in . the former race,' received a substantial plurality of the popular vote, but not a majority."?' - t Mr. Hardwick had the support of Thomas E. Watson, who was nomi nated for United States senator in the first primary. Both were bitterly attacked ;for their opposition of the covenant of the league -Of nations. Mr, Hardwick s defeat for re-election for senator was ascribed to -his antag onistic attitude tot the administration. The nomination of Mr. Hardwick gives Georgia a junior senator and a chief executive who are opposed to the league of nations and who have been outspoken in their opposition to many features of the democratic ad ministration. The nomination in this state is equivalent to an election, as the republican party puts no ticket in the field.
