Colored Church Has
Picnic At New Corinth
Editor of Times-Recorder:

SbilOI VI ltS-IGCOGu6E-
Several hundred of the Sunday
school workers of the Bethesda Bap-
list church together with a number
Of other friends, spent most de-
lightful day Thursday out at New
Corinth in an old-fashoned picnic.
In spite OF the large number pres
eut tht1c v is not single act OF dis
order or unbecoming conduct on the
part of any one. All hearts seem
ed to have been atuned to spirit of
the occasion. The dinner was a real
picnic dinner-delicious, plentiful,
and free. There was no sign of the
much-talked of hard times" shown
in the baskets brought. The amuse-
ments of the occasion was varied and
interesting. There was fishing,
swimming, wood roaming, crochet,
volley ball, progressive ball, singing,
school yells, and the like, which fur
nished amusement sufficiently va
ried for all
Probably one of the most signifi-
cant features of the picnic is the
generosity Of the friends who took
the responsibility of transferring
these hundreds of people miles IN
the country and returning them to
the city. Special mention should be
made of Shiver's truck driven by
teacher Wade Savage, Rylander's big
truck handled by Charlie Brown and
Clifford Harvey and the following
automobiles: John Minyard with his
seven passenger car, DR.. Terry M.
Hart, Jesse Litsey, B. M B. Simmons,
Prof. A. T. Jackson, Wade Turner

also came from Clanton that the doe
tors car bore small monogram on
one side. A close inspection showed
where something had been sand-pa-
pared off the side of the car held
here, about where a monogram would
have been placed
The men still stick to their story
that they bought the car there from a
man whom they did not know. They
say they paid him 1925 apiece for it,
or 1880, but Kilgore, who says ne
recently spent several months at
Ensley, Ala, admits he spent three
weeks in Jail there because he could
not put up bond when arrested for
failure to pay street tax. Kilgore is
SO years old and Giles about 81.

it is one of the most remarkable, ap-
pealing and human photoplays ever
offered on the screen in Augusta
Telling the story of hypocritical
minister who uses his Office as a ser
want of God to head a gang of thieves,
it stands out as a feature so unusual
that it almost makes one gasp. De-
veloping a story of unusual power
and acted by company of unusual
ability, the drama drives home a re-
ligious moral that cannot fail to help
everyone. Without any doubt, the
company of players offers the best
acting seen in a photoplay in Augusta.

is really acted and no one individual
is given undue prominence stamps
the whole production as an epo-
chal one.
