“Old Time Religion” Not Enough.
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 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.

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.
