Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1926-04-01

Officers carrying out the laws OF
Georgia last Friday morning executed
two youthful murderers on the gal
lows. In prisons over the State at
this time are three other young men
awaiting fulfillment OF death SEN
fences for murder or completely In
murder
Most of us do not question this; we
are, in fact. fairly we'll convinced that,
in the present circumstances, there is
no adequate remedy for the condition
which these executions bring pointed
~ to light. But do believe that the
present circumstances should be
chaneed-that conditions should be
so altered as to make it unnecessary
for society to put lis youthful unfor-
Inmates to death for want of better
solution of the problem.
These executions take place by au-
thority of the people of Georgia. This
fact places squarely on the people OF
Georgia all of us-the responsibility
to change the conditions which bring
about murders and cause executions.
Prison wardens, sheriffs, police Of
ficers and newspaper men agree that
there are three principal causes of
murder These ara
Poverty,
ignorance,
Insanity or mental weakness of a
fY,ay rs
It seems clear that we, the people
of Georgia-some of whom applaud
executions and most Of whom reluc-
family agree they are necessary-could
do much to diminish the amount of
poverty, ignorance and mental weak
ness within our state Il am making
no comparisons; other States are just
as bad, but we can't do much about
them).
These executions, and the murders
preceding them, ought to shock all Of
us into willingness to search for
the remedy Of the condition which
produces such repugnant actions and
then to put the remedy into effect.
I would suggest three items In a
program of State improvement look
ing to this end:
/. More Paved Roads. Communi-
cation brings enlightenment to be sub
stituted for ignorance and 1t brings
prosperity to conquer poverty 1t
sends modern thought and modern,
methods coursing into quiet streams

nomination as to provide adequately
for all these enterprises through a
regular budget In this connection
the Commission is seeking to enlist
as nearly as possible every member
of every church in making regular
weekly and monthly offerings to this
general budget which is distributed
among these seven causes on per-
centages proportionate to their va
riouS needs.
Approximately $9,2O0,0O0 for these
objects was received during 1925, 1t
Is announced but inasmuch as only
$4,69G,000 of this amount was in
distributable funds some of the OBJ
jects suffered for lack OF sufficient
cash. Under the leadership Of the
Commission a definite effort is being
made to secure as much or more
money as was contributed in 1926,
but In undesignated amounts so that
each cause will get it's proportionate
share.
Receipts BY States
The receipts for 1926 through the
various state offices were as follows:
Alabama, 1852 30S.67; Arkansas
S239,33366; Di~trict of Columbia,
5000; Florida. S223665.S8; Georgia,

s73,40796, and Virginia. S946,O6605.
The remainder Of the $9.2OO,000 re-
ceived in 1925 consisted largely of
special gifts to foreign missions and
the building fund of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary.
An outstanding feature of this eff
fort of the Commission is special
cash ingatherirg Tor the month OF
April, when every one of the nearly
100000 white Baptists of the South
will be asked to make as generous
an Offering as possible TO the whole
Cooperative Program. this money TO
be distributed proportioaa.ely among
the seven general causes embraced
therein.
conyenffoa Prospects Good
In the event This April iag&ther'
ing attains the goal set for it. il
will make it possible for the various
Southwida Baptist enterprises to re-
port great relief in their financial
situation to the Southern Baptist
Convention at its session in Houston

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Deserted at the Altar" is de-
luxe edition of the play by that
name which thrilled the playgoers
of a generation ago. Percy VIII
lianls was the original producer of
this drama in the very early days
of his career in the amusement
world. He had but one theatre
at the time, the Gotham, then
known as the Brooklyn Music Hall,
which seated about 500 people. In
casting about for unusual attrac-
tions, Mr.. Williams hit upon this
stirring melodrama, and proceed
ed to put it on, with such marked
success that it ran for two years
to packed houses.
The plot, which is as full of
punch and thrill today as it was
i'm 1899, when it was first present
ed by Mr.. Williams, lends itself
admirably to perturbation, and
every effort has been made to give
IA most elaborate presentation of
"a classic of twenty years ago.
The picture, based on the famous
play by Pierce Kingsley, and the
book version by Grace Miller
White, author of "Way Down
East "From Rags to Riches"
Little Heroes of the Street" etc..
is just a simple country story, hui
man, throbbing real; happening
everywhere, yet nowhere, in the

TOMORROW
East Lynne Is Best
Known Play of Ages


It is doubtful if any stage play
ever has been shown to more peo-
pie or in more cities and towns
than East Lynne which William
Fox has put on the screen under
the direction of Emmett Flynn, and
which shows at the Strand Theatre
tomorrow This perennial favorite
has been in the repertoire of every
stock company for the last two
generations. it has played on
Broadway, New York, Podunk
Crossing and Hog Eye, Texas; it
has thrilled the social elite as well
as the gallery god in nearly every
country on the globe.
Why?
Because the story of East
Lynne" is one that never gets out
of-date. It doesn't depend for its
appeal on the passing fad or fancy
of the moment. It doesn't deal
with "votes for women or .'the
flapper problem" or whose hootch
and why" no, it isn't the sort Of
play that dies out when the par
lticular popular complex of the
moment gives way to another.
For the story of EAST Lynne
is based on intense love interest,
on the devotion and self-sacrifice
of a woman for her ideal land
what more universal and lasting
appeal need a picture or a play
have than those elements?
True, there is a tragic note Il
East Lynne" But that Is one OF
the reasons the play has lived
these decades in the hearts OF
theatre-goers. Audiences like
lpathos; the most successful plays
and books deal plentifully in the
more serious, even tragic, sides Of
life. Yet there must be leaven
ling Of humor to afford relief from
what otherwise would be too de
pressing an atmosphere Of gloom
| So East Lynne" is rounded out
with its humorous situations
mingled appropriately with tn,
more somber vein Of the MAR
story. It is d picture that leaves
IA lasting impression on the min,
land heart.
Because such story demanded

Versatility Is
Her Middle Name
TopAY.

AS a rule, a motion picture act
ress is either a Coincidence or q
portrayer of dramatic roles. A
player who can play farce and big
emotional roles with the same
vigor and reality in indeed rare
which perhaps accounts for the
popularity of Ethel Shannon, This
vivaci0us little actress is as pop
ulaF with motion picture producers
"a she Is with fans chiefly because
q her remarkable versatility.
When she plays farce, you cannot
imagine her In a dramatic role and
when you see her in straight
part, the farcical person who ronp-
ed and made merry is transform
ed into a player Of great emotion
al strength. Probably the reason
for this, aside from natural talent,
which after all is three-fourths of
the story, is the fact that Miss
Shannon has had q splendid train
ing on the legitimate stage with
such experts as E. II. Sothern and
Maude Adams. She came to the
screen young in years but vet
eran in experience and so it was
not long before she had obtained
the recognition which her talent
and work deserved.
Having scored big personal
success in the two Christie farces.
''Charley's Aunt" and "Stop Flirt-
ine,p Miss Shannon once more will
be seen in a straight role in "The
Phantom Express" the Royal pic
ture which shows at the Monroe
Theatre today. This is a railroad
story with a new twist and gives
Miss Shannon an opportunity to
combine emotional action with
deft touches of humor. 1t is a
role for which she is particularly
suited and It is said that she does
some of the best work of her
career in this picture.

CURRENT MOST USED

In the United States more than
96 per cent of all electricity used
is what is known as alternating
current and the other four per
;ent is direct current. The devel-
opment of the alternating current
recalls the work of Edward D,
Adams, recently awarded the John
Fritz medal of outstanding accom-
plishment in the field of hydro
electric development, He was
forced at one time to take stand
in favor of alternating current for
commercial use against such men
as Edison and Lord Kelvin.
