After nearly three years of hold
ing services in the Sumter county
court house and in the dining room
of the new edifice, the First Meth
odist church of Americas will hold
its first service Sunday morning at
l / o'clock in the completed audito-
rum of its magnificent church,
with Rev. John M. Cutler, pastor,
delivering the sermon.
In order to celebrate the com
pletion of the auditorium in be-
fitting manner, the pastor and the
board of deacons have designated
the week of September Is to 20,
inclusive, as "Home Coming Week."
when each evening, with the excep-
ton of Monday, a former pastor of
the First church will deliver a ser.
mon. Member of the various con-
gregations in Americas have been
invited to attend the services dur
ing the week.
On Monday night at Z 80 Dr..
Chas. Sheldon, of Atlanta, city or
ganist of Atlanta; organist and
choir master of the First Presbyter-
ian church; organist and music di.
rector of the Jewish Temple; con
cert organist for w. S. B., Atlanta
radio station; ex dean of the Geor-
gia chapter of the American Guild
Organists and state president OF
the National Association of Organ

DR.. Sheldon, who is well known

ganist of the south, being both d
recital organist and composer.

day afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock Pro-
fessor Mcneil, former organist of
the First Methodist church and who
resided here for a number of years,

beloved by the Americas people and
it is expected this service will be
one Of the most largely attended.
Since the burning of the First
Methodist church in the fall of 1922
the congregation, inspired by the
untiring efforts of their pastor,
Rev. Cutler, have contributed uu-
ceasingly to the erection of new
church and as a result have one Of
the most beautiful and modern
plants in the South.
The church was constructed un
der difficulties. A scarcity of la.
Dor and damages done to the fin
ished walls by the heavy rains of
last winter retarding the completion
of the edifice nearly a year. Al
the time the walls were so badly
damaged a mass meeting of the
members of the church was he'd
and sufficient money was subscrib-
ed to repair the damage. Time af-
ter time the members have been
called on for contributions and each
time found them ready and willing
to do their bit.

John G. Crouch, 50, believes he is

Crouch was born on a farm in

miles from Springfield, Ill. As a

TWO COUNTIES TO
PROSECUTE NOEL

MONTCLAIR, N. j., Sept. o.
Authorities in two counties today
were preparing to prosecute Harri-
son w. Noel, 20, former insane
asylum inmate, who confessed to
kidnapping and murdeing six-year-
old Mary DAILY, on four major
charges on the assumption that he
is sane until proven otherwise.
Indictments in Essex county for
the murder Of RaH ;ond Pierce, ne
gro taxicab driver, and for the kid
naping will be sought soon.
A formal charge of numbering
Mary was made against Noel by
Passaic county authorities at New
ark A charge of atrocious assault
on John Sandin, whom Noel is al
legged to have shot in the head when
Sandin sought to save Mary DAILY,
is being withheld pending action by
Essex county officials. In record
er's court Monday, Noel pleaded not
guilty to the murder of Pierce,
whom he had told police he killed
Pierce to get an automobile for the
abduction.
In charging Noel with the child's
murder, Passiac county Prosecutor
DevOe said:
81 do not expect to place Noel in
this county as the Essex county au-
thorities have prior claim to him
and it is likely that by the time the
Pierce murder charge is disposed of
it will be unnecessary to bring him
to trial here"
An official autopsy on the body
of Mary resulted that in addition to
the two bullet wounds in the head
and neck, the little girls skull had
been crushed and her back broken.
The youths father, Dix w. Noel,
prominent lawyer, was in confer
ence in New York last night with
attorneys.
Mary was buried Tuesday in Holy
Name cemetery, Jersey City.
The money saved by not enjoying
life is wasted.
Too much money will make man
unhappy because he can't get it.

HICKSON AND WIFE. HEAD
PSYCHOPATHIC SCHOOL
Ninety Per Cent of Crime At
tributed to Some Form of
Mental DEBILITY

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-The nsv-
biologist and the policeman make a
battery against criminals which ex.
perts anticipate eventually will ro-
duce outlaws TO a no-hit game in
American cities.
Through the Psychopathic Labor
atory Of the Municipal Court Of
Chicago, in charge of DR.. VIM. :;
dickson, widely known criminal
psychologist, and his wife, the old.
line, hard-shelled criminologist
whose faith was in brass knucklcs
and the hangman's rope gradually is
being replaced by opponents of q
new dispensation, who regard crime
as an effect of psychic Irregularities
and work for its eradication through
science rather than shotguns and
sentences.
The laboratory is a branch of the
Municipal Court, which is unique as
the largest court in the world. In
1924 there went on this courts
docket $4,000 civil and 225,0o0
criminal cases for the consideration
of its 81 justices.
Here are the conclusions DR..
Hickson draws from his eleven years
experience in the laboratory:
G) Mental debility is the pr
mary factor in crime, and the elm
nation Of the criminal is problem
more in psychology than in the ef-
ficient administration of thousands
of police with quick trigger fingers.
(2) Virtually all criminals are
short-changed on mental equipment
o1 emotional stability.
t3) In reference to the number
of offenses, 90 per cent of the crime
in Chicago is attributable to some
form of mental debility, usually not
apparent to laymen.
az In more than 80 per cent Of
the criminally inclined mental
weakIings, the delinquency is mani.
tested before the period Of adde's
cense.
(5) Crime could be completely
wiped out in one generation by
properly caring for youths Of Grim
inal inclinations.
(6) A large majority of persons
convicted Of major crimes, such as
murder, robbery and assault, have
been in court previously, some
many times, for some minor of
Tense. In most cases they have been
fined, sentenced to short terms, OF
put on probation only to return
soon to face some more serious
charge.
~ Punishment is not deter
rant to crime in the eyes of most
criminals
t8) Criminal inclinations in men
tai wcallings is a dominant impulse
quite as irresistible as the healthy
social impulses of normal individ-
uals, and the criminal, because Of
his debility, does not regard punish
ment as retribution, but merely as
a conspiracy Of society to rob him
of his right to self-expression.
t9) The degree Of viciousness
and brutality in revolving crimes is
in a fixed relation to the degree
and nature Of the mental derange-
ment.
