MACE GIDDENS
TO BE HANGED
Negro Who Resisted Re
turn To Georgia
Convicted
SYLVESTER, Feb. 19.—Mace
Giddens, the former Sumter county
negro, who was on trial here for
twi days in the Worth Superior
court for slaying Deputy Sheriff W.
P. Giddens, at Doles, will pay the
death penalty for ths crinie, a jury
handing down a verdict of guilty of
first degree murder against the ne
gro at a late hour Friday night.
Judge Robert Eve, of the Tifton
M circuit presiding, announced that he
would impose sentence on Giddens
Monday morning.
Giddens is the negro who resisted
extradition from Indiana when ar
rested there recently, but who was
delivered to Georgia officers after
Governor McCrary, of Indiana, had
sent a commissioner here to investi
gate law and order conditions, the
negro having pleaded danger of
lynching.
The trial was attended by more
than 1,000 spectators, the majority
being white. Giddens’ plea is that
he shot the officer when the latter
entered his house because he thought
that there was a mob outside to lynch
him. The officer sought to arrest
Giddens on a warrant charging dis
turbing public worship.
Here’s a picture that’s different—
different, only in location, for the
story is laid in South America. It’s
just a pleasing, simple little story,
with no great, big problems, but a
delightful little yarn of a New York
“flapper,” who in .pursuit of “some
thing different,” went to visit an old
friend, away down in Central Amer
ica, where she innocently enough be
comes embroiled in one of those
“two-cent revolutions,” is captured
and held as a spy by Don Mariano
Caldron, a brother of the president of
this 5-cent republic.
Now, had Alicia been in a more
humble from of mind, she doubtless
would have welcomed her captivity,
for Dan Mariano was a most* thrill
ing looking chap. But it pleases
Alicia to be very haughty and digni
fied and Dpn Mariano is very proud
. and haughty—and he laughs at Ali
cia when she tries to bribe him with
a kiss whereupon !?he disguises
herself in a native costume and tries
to escape.
It ’s all very light and frivolous,
but charmingly done. The settings,
which represent the home of Dob
Mariano and of Don Luis, his “bo
som enemy,” are entirely adequate.
* The little “flapper’s” name is
" Alicia Lee, played by Constance Bin
ney; Don Mariano is portrayed by
Ward Crane; Lucy Fox, Crane Wil
bur and Gertrude Hillman, are the
other members of the cast in this
Realart picture, shown at the Alca
zar Monday only.
Miss Binney is very pretty and
very • smart-looking in her “Ameri
can” clothes, and down-right charm
ing in the black lace Spanish cos
tume.
TWO WOMEN, ONE ROGUE
A REVOLUTION AND
A YANKEE HERO
Spain, the blossom land of pas
sion. Spain, the fiery flower land
or romance! Spain, the fascinating,
blazing, beautiful, exotic! To that
sunny land of scarlet and gold Re
gie Harding followed his wilful Am
erican Beauty. But she spruned his
love!
A bold and reckless rogue had
strummed his guitar and she had fal
len hard for his songs and his Span
ish mustache. She thought she .had
found real romance at last, and when
a Spanish siren, with flying heels
and flashing eyes, drew a stiletto in
jealous rage, she was thrilled.
And because two women loved one
rogue, a revolutionary plot did not
go according to schefiule. True, the

’ Dr. T, D. Ellis, of Macon, who
’ has been conducting a two-weeks
| teries of evangelistic meetings at the
; I r t Methodist church in Americus,
j left early Saturday morning for Ma
i con, where he will open a similar
i series at his own church, the Mu!
: berry Methodist, in that city today.
He was accompanied by the three
I Wisdom sisters, who sang during the
i services here and who will perform
a like Service during the Macon meet
ings.
The meetings here were pronounc
’ cd by leading members and others
: here to have been the most sar
i reaching in influence ever held in this
I church. Although there were only 41
! accessions to the church, the meet
' ings were not particularly directed
; toward bringing about con versions,
the preaching being largely devoted
to the church members themselves
Many members who have been par
tially active, or almost wholly inac
tive, took on new life and again be
came peronal workers in the church,
The whole community, as well as the
First Methodist church, has felt the
effects of the meetings.
