Lake .Tunahiska, July 11.—“ The world has reached the place where bromidic so lution of its problems ll fail to solve, aiid the mistaken idea that Christianity thinks only of the future life without any idea of preventing existing wrong conditions in society will have to go,” declared Dr. W. P. King, of Gainesville and Atlanta. Ga. He was addressing the Social serv ice conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session here. “It is a mistaken idea that the old time religion is simply a doctrine of com fort,’ he asserted. “We have reached the p'aee where Christian reason looks at the matter from the viewpoint of Christ ill au effort to interpret His mind.” __ The unassisted triple play made by Neal Ball, the Cleveland shortstop, on July lt)tli, 190!), at Cleveland, was the first undisputed play of the kind ever made in the major leagues.

Wins'Honor : - ? ■ I In and About the City NOTED PLAYERS IN STAR CAST Marguerite dc la Motte. Vie tor MacLglen and William Russell Head List. By the Press Agent. "The Beloved Brute.” which will be shown at the Concord Theatre on Mon day and Tuesday, is the story of the bud boy of the family, who draws down the curse of his dying father on his head. The cruse in this case involved punish ment for the Beloved Brute at the hands of his brother whom he had not seen for fifteen years. The picture ends happily, of course, and the hero escapes the con setpienees of the course by a lucky twist of fate. The story goes with a rush, ex cepting for some few moments when the cast seems to be resting between the, many fights which punctuate the picture. Marguerite de la Motte has the lead ing feminine role. A newcomer to the American screen, Victor MacLagien, a British star, plays the title role. He is a picturesque figure in the part. William Bussell, another athlete and physical giant, s cast ns the younger brother, ilary Alden portrays the fortune teller cf the dance hall who joins a wagon show and takes an active hand in the fate of the two brothers, gtuart Holmes ably Imndles the role of “China Jones, the villain and dance hall proprietor. The production was made by J. Stuart Blackton from the popular novoif of the same name by Kenneth Perkins. NEGRO CHARGED WITH LARCENY HELD HERE Also Is Charged With Stealing An Auto mobile From Winston-Salem.—Carried to That City. The theft of an innertnbe here fur nished officers with a elite that lead to tin* recovery of a stolen automobile, and Tansy Jones, Winston-Salem negro, is being held charged with the theft of both the tube and the car. It is alleged that Pile negro was caught in the act of stealing the tube from the Ford ear of Merle Litaker, who lives at te home of Mrs. Blume on South Union Street. When arrested the negro said nothing about needing the tube, but Sun day the officers found an abandoned ear near Five Points and it luter developed that Jones had driven the car there and apparently had gone in search of a tube when he discovered a Hat tire on the Ford. Local officers mnde full investigation and learned that the Ford Jones was driving had been stolen from Winston- Salem. Officers there were advised of the facts and they came here today for Jones. Little Rod Sehoolltou.se Products. Charlotte Observer. Billy Swink and Alex. Long were schoolmates in Concord. They were given "the rudiments” in the school managed by "Miss Helen and Miss'Lily,” and they were known as "good boys.” They nev er fought and they avoided rough work; nor were they ever called Upon to have the palms of their ha\ds warmed by the ruler. It was Paul Barringer and an other whose name we will not put, on record. ,who were popularly accepted as the shock absorbers for the school. But we were going to speak incidentally of Billy Swink and more particularly of Alex Long. Neither figured in the pa pers (o any extent during their boyhood days, but the maturity stage found them located, Swink at China Grove, to the north of Charlotte, and Long at Rock Hill, to the south. Then newspaper readers began to hear of them as cotton mill men, not as stockholders, but as builders and equippers, managers and owners. Mr. Swink developed large in terests at China Grove and at last ac counts was figuring on a million-dollar mill further up the line ill the direction of Salisbury. Coincidentally, Mr. long was developing into a cotton mill man of large consequence at Rock Hill, but he is of the sort of men who do things quietly and who do not court newspaper publicity. Last week, however, he got into the papers—a dozen or more of them. He had bought a piece of property in the city, at a price of .$20,000, and while the people were wondering what he proposed to do with it, he came forward with the informatiton. This was advanced in the shape of a deed. He had deeded the property to Rock Hill to be used for city hospital purposes. This, in eonneetion with other incidents in the life of Mr. Long in his South Carolina home, moved The Chester Reporter to bare some of his merits to the public. The Chester paper says of him, and that portion" of the public that has familiarity with his characteristics will add its endorsement— Mr. Long is a man who is blessed with unusual business acumen, and lias been successful in a measure far beyond what the average man attains; but that does not blind him to the fact that he has aduty to his fellowman, and his liberal gift for the purpose referred to is testi mony of this Diet. While Mr. Long has the means that would permit him to en gage in a life of selfish ease, it is a tribute to the man that such things have no attraction for him, and what leisure he has, or much of it, is spent in the service of the Rook Hill Evangelistic Club, of‘which he was ohe of the organ izers and most active members, the ehurcii and .kindred societies. As a cit izen and a Christian Mr. Long lias, ex ercised a profound and far-reaching in fluence in his home towq. and, his liberal gift last week to his fellow townsman is further expression, and an expression along a different line, of the deep feeling of regard that Mr. Long has for his fellowman. which has found such abun dant expression throughout his life in so many ways.
