CURRENT COMMENT
Pity and Envy.

There are many indications that the
agents of Charles Ponzi, modern Midas,
operated in Vermont towns with Ital-
ian populations. One of them, under
cover, undoubtedly visited Rutland and
addressed a local Italian lodge. The
members turned him down. Now they
are wondering whether they are open
TO generalization or commiseration--
whether they showed intuitive shrewd-
ness or passed up" the opportunity Of
a lifetime.

NEW InOugnC Alliance
Religious and Metaphysical Free
For All Discussion Staged at ]
Kansas City l.. :

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 1S.-A free
for-alP' discussion Of religious and
metaphysical ideas is to feature the
seventh annual congress OF the Inter
national New Thought Alliance which
meets in Kansas City tomorrow and
continues until the following Sunday.
september 26. Leaders and defega-
tions representing thirty-six different
cults from every part OF the United
States and from Canada, England,
France and Mexico, claiming over a
million followers, are expected to be
present. .... ~
The Unity School of Christianity, the
headquarters of which is located in
Kansas City, will act as host to the
gathering. = ..,,.
the congress, according to Royal
t1llmore, secretary of the Unity
SCHOOL, viii be an open discussion of
religious and meta ply sical research.
As the affiliated organizations hold
widely divergent views, it is the pur-
pose or this years gathering to slit
through a maze of conflicting theories
and attempt, through the Interchange
OF Ideas, to reach a program definite
upon essential points.
There is TO be no attempt, however.
to weld the various cults into any
tightly-bound organization. Co-ordi-
nation along principal lines is the chief
thing to be sought. Mr.. Fillmore ex-
planned. Freedom of expression Is
the first point all are agreed upon
and every element is to have its
say.
This is the first congress since the
Unity School and the Colorado College
of Divine Science, two of the largest
organizations in the movement, be-
came affiliated with the alliance. The
larger affiliation was brought about by
the elimination from the alliance last
year of some of the teachings consid-
cred by the more spiritual element as
nelng Objectionable, and by the fur
ther definite declaration upon the
part of the alliance Of the Christian
standard as principle, said Mr.. Fill
more.
This change of policy, at the last
congress, which was held at Cincin-
natl, also brought out a strongly sup
ported movement to change the name
! or the congress, as 1t was declared by
some that the name New Thought"
did not convey any particular meaning
and that name should be adopted,
consistent with the present ideals Of
the movement This subject is expect
ed TO be taken up early in the conven-
tion this year. %.
The alliance, according to Mr.. Fill
more, is a group of metaphysical
schools seeking to learn the opera
tive laws behind physical expression
ana to teach these laws and use them
to the advantage of humanity.
THE alliance does not exercise any
administrative functions over the
membership" he said, "but simply re-
quires that the members bring their
teachings up to the Christian stand
ard
THE world has never yet had real
christ movement, which gives us the
golden opportunity to have one now.

Assistant Attorney General Will
Move to Dismiss the Case
Against Mayfield -

Columbia. Sept. 2O.-Assistant At
torney General Lumpkin announced
today that he would make a motion
for the dismissal of the 'kidnappins
case by the state supreme court on
The first day of the courts fall term,
which conVeneS on October 5th. The
case has been appealed to the supreme
court, despite the fact that w. D.
Mayt1eld, Henry Z. Sandifer and Jas.
Breedin, the three Bamberg county
men charged with the kidnapping OF
TWO negro farm hands from their
homes near Wadesboro, n. c., on the
night of July 21, last, have been tried
and two Of them sentenced, the case
having come up in circuit court at
Wadesboro last Saturday. Mayfield
was fined $500, and Sandifer $3.50. but
Judgment in the case against Breedin
was suspended.
1he three men have appealed from
part of the recent order of Judge
Townsend dismissing the habeas cor
puS proceedings and freeing them.
Ih"y appeal from that part Of the
judges order which says they were
given their freedom on orders of Gov.
cooper. They contend that their free
dom came under the habeas corpus
proceedings.
The action of the three Bamberg
men IN going to North Carolina and
pleading guilty" Immediately fol-
lowing their appeal to the South Caro-
lima supreme court came as q surprise
to those who have followed the case
closely. They went to Wadesboro VOL
UNFAIRLY last week and We're tried be-
fore Judge p. A. McElroy.
Mr.. Maytield took the stand and told
of his trip to Wadesboro to get the
negroes, who, he said, owed him mon
ey when they left Eamberg county,
where they had beer in his employ.
The Bamberg men were assisted in the
arrest Of the negroes of J. F. Tice, of
Wadesboro, a constable. He admitted
that they were armed when they went
to the homes Of the negroes, but stated
that the negroes returned to South
Carolina with them willingly.
The negroes testified that Mayfield's
party gained admittance to their house
by representing themselves to be rev.
enue officers. This Maytield denied.
The negroes also denied that they re-
turned to South Carolina willingly,
but said they were handcuffed and
brought against their will.
In addition TO his fine, Mr.. Mayfeld
was required to give bond in the sum
of $1,000, for appearance at the next
term OF Ans0n county court, to show
that the cases which were brought
"A o.

out on bond, have been dismissed.
