The Hen Greet Oien Air Performers Delighted Atlanta Audiences. Many of our readers who are look ing forward with pleasant anticipa tion to the Ben Greet Players per formances of As You Like It for the afternoon performance and A Mid summer Night's Dream ror the nights performance on tne lawn at tiie Gov ernor's Mansion, will be pleased to read the criticism whlca appeared In the Atlanta Journal following two of their plays at Cox College. It says: ( ' "The Ben Greet Players In 'A Mid summer Night's Dream,' delighted a large audience Monday night in their second of a series or open air plays on the Cox College campus. The at mosphere, which inappropriately had a tinge or midwinter in it, did not prevent the enjoyment or a very cap able rendition of the lightest and most fanciful or Shakespeare's plays. The spectators merely tucked their Teet under them and drew their wraps closer aoout them and stayed on, unwilling to miss any or the mis chievous antics or Puck or the rude efforts or Bottom and his fellow play ers. A stage built under the trees and garlanded with foliage, yet possess ing the facilities of electric lignting, presented an appropriate and effect ive setting of woodland scenes. The play was shortened to a con siderable extent and a great deal of modern fooling was introduced into the -mechanics' tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe. The characters of Wall and Moonshine were highly ludicrous and Trtisbe , with her Salome en trances and Pyramus in his death scene reached the height of farcical acting.' : The woodland plays of the Ben Greet actors are unusual as they are delightful."

CONFERENCE WORK Methodists on Record Against Whiskey Shipping Pass Resolution Deploring Shipping of Whiskey Into Dry .Territory and Ask For Law Prohibiting Inter state Shipments Fraternal Mes senger fitmi Negro Church Talks. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Asheville, N. C, Marcii 12 The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, today adopted a resolution deploring the present status of the law allowing interstate shipment of whiskey into "dry" territory and calling upon congress speedily to pass the pend ing Eller-Curtiss bill to prohibit such shipments. Rev. G. C. Pennon, D.D., fraternal messenger from the African Metho dist Episcopal Zion Church, address ed the conference. "Improvement of the negro race," he declared, "can only come through Chrlstianization or the negro race." This work can best be done by the negro preachers and educators, he declared. He urged the ten men t owners to construct better tenement houses ror the negroes, as he attrib utd the great death rate or city ne groes to the unsanitary dwellings. The conrerence referred a resolu tion pledging co-operation in the work in Africa to the committee on church relations and a favorable re port is expected, Monday, 10 a. m.", was tiie time set for election or bishops and other connectional officers. The laymen's committee reported favorably upon a memorial asking that the representa tion in the annual conference be in creased to include one lay delegate from each pastorate charge. This went to the calendar. ' TICKETS FDR VETERANS. ; It Is Suggested That Street Railway Sell School Ticket to Old Soldiers.' , To The Evening Times: Would it not be a graceful act on the part or the street car people to sell the "old soldiers" street, car . I .. I . n, tin, aomA fata wlllph ttlAV are sold to scaool children and teach ers? ... r - I have never heard tho old fellows complain, they are or the uncomplaln ing kind, but they are a long way from up town, and they are not as young as when they stepped ;aily and gladly forth to fiht the battles of tao soutu.i But this I do know, "that they often walk one way. and rine. back because they .have only one fare, and when they wish to take a trip to town, to church, or on business, they have to start early, because they are feeble and can't walk as last as they used to when taey belonged to the 'foot cavalry."' . Not one of them has said a word to me about this,' but in talking with a friend about one of these faithful old God-beloved brethren, I learned that he had to leave tae Home about 4:30 p. m. to get to 8 o'clock service. He walks out and rides back. The other way he couldn't get back In time for "taps." And so the thought came to me that if the street car officials only knew they would do what it will take no areument to convince them is right and at once give the old sol diers the same privileges enjoyed by. all school teachers, school officers' and scholars, white and colored, in this township. These grand old fellows are not begging, nor am I begging for them. True, none of them are overburden ed with worldly wealth, but they are just as proud and their spirits just as lofty as in the days of '661, and I am simply suggesting something, which if acted on, would. I believe, . be appreciated by the old soldiers and the poblic and their rriends. A. H. YEARBY.
