MElHODISTS HOLD EPOCHAL CEREMONY
 AT JASPER SUNDAY
Bishop Cannon and Other Notable Clergy and Lay Folk Attend Related Laying of
 Church Cornerstone

Jasper, April 3.-(special. )--Meth- isdfsts had charge of Jasper today and one of the greatest religious events sn the history of Walker county was the result
 The occasion was twoford, but pri- marily, about 2,50O people gathered in the big new s175,OoO church--prob- ably the finest in north Alabama-to witness the ceremonials attached to the delayed laying of the cornerstone,
 As further attraction, addresses upon the church's s33.00o,00 education al movement campaign, were made by bishop James Cannon or Birmingham and Judge W. w. Brandon of Tusca- loosa The addresses upon the eduea- tional movement were made during the early afternoon and promptly followed by the cornerstone services
 These cereTnoniaIs were presided over in obediance to Methodist ritual by Bishop Cannon. Rev. J. M. McCluskey. present pastor; Rev. w. w. Scott, pre-. siding elder pr. Branscomb. editor of the Christian Advocate, Birming ham, and Rev. j. T. Morris, Birming ham, and also a former pastor of the Jasper church, were among the mo- table ministers in attendance.
 The deed conveying title from the building committee was presented by l.. E. Musgrove, chairman Of the com mittee, to Judge J. ". Shepherd. chair man of the board of trustees, and placed in the cornerstone. R. If. Pal mer presented the membership roster of about $50 names and Judge U. ".

been so mirth- provoking in any previous production, the story which is unfolded contains more real heart throbs than many picture that has built up repu- tations for emotional actresses.
 Charlie Is himself, but he has iRject- ed himself into a story of heart inter est that has seldom been equaled. The synopsis of it sounds rather trite, for 1t starts with the abandonment of her baby by the woman who has been wronged. Charlie finds the baby and raises him to boyhood The typical Chaplinesque meth ods of raising the Kid are responsible for good part of the humor with which the piece abounds while his pitiable whifn- sical procedure to gain the child's love dampened many an eye. The dramatic climax of the film comes with Chaplin s losing fight, and the Kids despair when the law separates them, buA- this is fol- lowed so closely by bit of comedy which, perhaps, is the best of the piece, in which Charlie rescues him after a chase over roof tops, that people laughed the Jumps right out of their throats.
 If you love comedy you cannot afford to miss seeing The Kid and if you en- joy being held enthralled in the grip of pathos there is a treat awaiting after you get into the theatre where it is showing"

GEORGIA PEONAGE LARGELY WITHIN
 DEMAND OF LAW
Federal Agent Who Inyesti- gates Scores of Cases, Says Stringent Money Market
 Increases Complaints
By Associated ,.ress

Atlanta, April s.-Viheent Hughes. head of the bureau of investigation of the fed. eral department of justice here, issued the following statement tonight regard. rlg peonage conditions in Georgia:
 This office receives and investigates every complaint of peonase arising ia the territory comprising almost the whole state of Georgia The bulk of our work now is on peonage complaints and there are more of these than all other cases combined We find ourselves handicapped in handling many of these complaints because the law Is not broad enough.
 The technical crime of peonage is only committed when involuntary servi- tGde exists on basis of debts. and many negroes are held in sefvitud. through fear and other coercion, per- haps more so than for debt, On basis of geographical origin of complaints we receive, should say that peonage in Georgia is not wide spread in the sense of being state wide.
 Tn judging from the complaints we receive a far greater part of Georgia is free from the practice which seems to center in two or three sore spots where social conditions are less ad. vanced.
 Most of the beonage victims are coun- try negroes. In the case of Williams who got his negroes from city stockades however. we find a difference, both In the class and in the fact that they were day laberers, for the majority of com plaints we have investigated are cases of tenant farmers. These men are work ing on an arrangement by which the land owner supplies mules, cotton seed, tools l fn- ..-t<l t1,4 fIttf. ing labor and receiving from quarter to a half of the crop,
 The tenants usually buy food at the tenant commissaries. I have no hesita- ton in saying that the number of com rlaints reaching us concerning negroes of this class has increased markedly lately 1 believe that the condition of the cot ton market has something to do withtit, for with most of the farmers holding last years crop the temptation is to avoid paying out money is very strong. while at the same time they need labor.
 My impression is that the bulk of Georgia white residents are guiltless of intentional violations of the peonage law, just IS my experience leads me to believe that the bulk of white citizens are whole heartedly back of our efforts to stamp out peonage
 That attempts are sometimes made to hinder or block our investigations prove nothing but the fact that local condi- tions favor peonage. We expect them and in long run they canont greatly hinder us.
 Through investigations by our agents have found Newton county to be free of peonage. We have received splendid support from the county officials of Newton county in the investigation we have made and we feel that the linking of the name of Newton county with peonage charges does the citizens of tha, county an injustice"
