C~lergyman's Remarks on Hill
PrOwess of Car Excites
Congregation.

How a minister, unconsciously stress
sed the capability of a certain make
Of automobile to such an extent, in
one of his sermons, at Mystic, Conn,
near Hartford, that it aroused more
interest than any previous sermon in
a long time, is related in a report re-
ceived at the factory from the Hart
ford Hupmobile dealer.
The report goes On to explain that
the minister, who drives a small light
car. is a regular customer at the deal
ar's garage.
Between New London and Mystic is
a hill known as Fort hill, and the dealer
states that every time the minister's
1T was a good car" but often it
failed and then 1T was poor mechani-
cal work in the garage" which was re-
spOnsible.
One day the dealer, more or less ex-
asperated over the minister's refernce
to Door garage work. said 10 the cler-
gyman: How would you like to ride
in a car that will climb Fort hill; one
that will start at the bottom in high
and go over the top at 40 miles an
hour"
The invitation having been accepted.
a demonstration ensued.
. On the following Sunday, the minis
ter preached from the text: I'VE dis
believe: we are made to believe. and
we believe"
And in the course Of the sermon he
found occasion to refer to the auto
mobile incident in this wise: There
is an automobile dealer in our city
who told me certain facts about a GER
tain car; among his statements was
one to the effect that it would climb
Fort hill from a standing start and go
over the top at 40 miles an hour in
high gear. /, as a result of past ex-
perience, could not refrain from dis
believing that statement. But | was
taken up the hill in the car and made
to believe. ! now believe in the man
and in the car Then, he continued
to point out that a demonstration of
fact is convincing in all things; told
how nonbelievers are converted, made
to believe. and then became devout
followers of the faith.
The next Friday the clergyman re-
lated to the dealer the happenings
after the delivery of the sermon.
'On Monday morning. a man came
to me and wanted to know the name
of that car" he said. "Wednesday
night at prayer meeting, five or six
people asked the same question. Fri
ady, four more Of my friends came to
me seeking the same information. In
short. | have been preaching in this
vicinity for several years and this was
the first time that such interest has
been created in any of my sermons
here. 1t all goes TO show the tremend-
u interest Of the public in anything
pertaining to automobile performance

DON'T USE NEW TIRE AS SPARE

II is a mistake to carry new tires
as spares. The epidemic of tire steal
ing that prevails throughout the
country has demonstrated the avidity
of tire thieves for tires that have
never been used and can be disposed
of as new. A new tire naturally brings
q much higher price than one that
shows wear. Motorists whose new
spares have been stolen with unfail-
ing regularity should remember that
they have been offering tempting bait
to the thieves. The sensible thing to
do. says the United States Tire COM
pany. is to use a new tire for a few
hundred miles before using it as a
snare.

MISSIONARY SOCIETIES
TO MEET JOINTLY MONDAY

The Hortense Tinsley Billy Study
class will not have its regular meet
ing Monday afternoon, but instead
the members have been invited to
join with the congregation of CAL
vary church on that afternoon to hear
splendid lecture by Archdeacon
Drane, a returned missionary, who
will address the missionary societies
of Americas on the work being done
in the foreign fields.
All the missionary societies of the
community are cordially invited to
hear the lecture, which will be in
formative as well as interesting.
With all the various societies hav-
ing studied during the past year
many books on foreign mission field
work and having heard lectures at
the missionary conventions which
have been held in the southwestern
district, Archdeacon Drane's subject
holds double interest, in that he will
speak along lines which have been
discussed and studied.

9CARS0F HOGS
BRING SlO,OOOIN
FARMERS SALE
7O9 Animals Weighed In AT | 80
With More coming-Swift
Is Buyer

The biggest sale of hogs in Sum
fer county since the cooperative mar
keting plan was introduced three
wears ago by George o. Marshall,
county agent, took plase in Americas
today when approximately $4,000
worth of fat market stock was dis
posed of. At / 80 o'clock 700 hogs
had been delivered at the sale pen
on the Central of Georgia track on
Spring street and more were coming.
AT that time it was stated that nine
ears would be required to accommo-
date the shipment. Seyenty-five
farmers had brought in stock at that
hour, coming from many parts of
Sumter county and even from the
near sections of Schley and Marion
counties. The hogs graded high, av-
eraging better than 200 pounds each,
and many of them running over 400
pounds. Very few animals grading
below 1870 pounds were brought in.
The buyer of the lot was Swift &
Co., for its Moultrie packing plant.
The big supply resulted from the an
nouncement that all that were
brought in would be bought at guar
anteed price, which was mot pub
licly announced, but which was de-
clared to be very satisfactory.

Horses have been supplanted by
the telephone, as well as by the auto
mobile. Millions of readers of
"Black Beauty" the tremendously
popular Autobiography of Horse, -
by Anna Sewell, will remember Johns
wild ride ON Black Beauty to summon
, the doctor when Mrs. Gordon was at
the point of death. The physician
would be called by telephone today.
Yet, with "the passing of the
horse" from many fields Of former
service, since Anna Sewell wrote her
wonderful book more than forty
years ago, mans noblest friend"
still holds firm place in the heart
Of humanity, and "Black Beauty
holds eighth place among the worlds
most popular books.
In preparing the motion picture
version, to visualize "Black Beauty"
as Vitagraph all star special produe-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. George Randolph
Chester labored long and earnestly to
insure the faithful and accurate pres
entation of Anna Seweli's story, as
she wrote it, on the screen.

vocating the desirability of early

In the picture play, as in the story,
Squire Gordon, Jessie Gordon, Harry
Blomefield and all the other humans
in the book, appear in the dress of the
I early seventies, the period in which
the action was laid. There are no
telephones, no electric lights, no auto
mobiles. In this respect, as in all
others, the picture version has been
kept true to the story as told by Anna
Sewell.
Without in any way encroaching
upon the original BLACK Beauty
story, the Chesters have added the
thrilling human romance, going on in
doors which Black Beauty was living
i'll the outdoor story. The result is
one of the most appealing picture
dramas ever produced.
