GEORCtA JUDGE
PRAISES HAYS
Humphries, of Atlanta, Com
mends His Action In Bar
ring Arbuckle Films
ATLANTA, May 2.—Will Hays,
motiorf picture arbiter, was com
mended here by Judge John D.
Humphries of thl Fulton Superior
court in his charge to the May grand
jury for banning the Roscoe Ar
buckle films from the screen.
Judge Humphries did not call
names, but referred to "a well known
movie comedian recently acquitted
of a serious offense.” L-
Judge Humphries also praised
Southeastern Conference for Bettcg
Films, which met in the city, lor its
resolutions falling for the removal of
suggestive pictures from the screen.
Vigorous enforcement of the va
grancy laws and more rigid laws re
garding “pistol toting” were asked
for by the judge. He also said ad
ditional laws should be passed call
ing for bills of sale for those who
dispose of used cars. Judge Hum
phries said that, in his opinion, this
would have much to do with breaking
up automobile thefts.
That Atlanta has passed the crest
of the crime situation was another
opinion expressed by Judge Humph
ries.
Vagrants, in the pure sense of the
term, should be given employment on
the chaingang, the judge said.
“I am not in favor of putting men
in the toils of the law when they
have made an honest effort to get
work and failed,” he told the new
grand jury, ‘I refer to potential
criminals who are shy of work. Truly
‘an idle brain is the devil’s work
shop.’ ”
With regard to the possession of
firearms Judge Humphries said he
believed public safety demanded that
all persons owning this type of
weapon should be forced to regis
ter them and be held responsible.
This, he said, should apply even to
firearms kept in private houses for
purposes of protection.
“Persons selling used cars also
should be forced to give bills of sale
for them,” the jurist said. “This will
go far toward breaking up automo
bile stealing.”
Judge Humphries likewise scored
meddling with court officials in
criminal cases.
“People with influence are con
tinually trying to sway the scales of
justice,” he said. “This has slack
ened to some degree in the past.
I strongly condemn; this practice as
being one which in time will tear
down the structure of judiciary.”

By MRS. H. J. WILLIAMS, Correspondent.
ELAVILLE, May 2. —Sunday was
a red letter day in B. Y. P. U. and
Epworth League work in this city,
j The two organizations united and
I made it a day long to be remembered
I by the vast crowd that attended the
union services. A splendid program
was rendered.
Sunday afternoon another program
was given.
Sunday evening at the Baptist
church a B. Y. P. U, play was given
which was written and conducted by
Rev. H. J. Johnson, of Oglethorpe.
The play was well rendered and elic
ited many favorable comments. Miss
Etheridge again favored the audience
with vocal selections and several
special songs were rendered by the
choir. Songs by the Sunbeam band
and primary department of the Sun
day school were especially enjoyed.
Mrs. J. S. Lightner, who had charge
of the music, is to be congratulated
on the splendid musical program giv
en. Judging from the large crowd
present at all of these services, inter
est in religious affairs in Ellaville is
certainly increasing. The young peo
ple need and appreciate the splen
did support that is being given them
by the people of Ellaville and sur
rounding country.
Monday evening the Philathea class
of the Methodist Sunday school en
tertained the Baraca class with a bar
j becue that could not be surpassed.
| This most enjoyable event was held
on the lawn in the rear of the Metho
dist church, which was brilliantly
lighted for the occasion. ’Neath the
beautiful oak trees, a long table was
placed and decorated with huge bas
kets of Dorothy Perkins roses. Trays
of deliciously prepared barbecue and j
Brunswick stew were placed on either !
side of the table, while down the cen- I
ter plates of cake of many varieties j
were placed. Col. C. R. McCrory acted i
as toastmaster, and the following •
toasts were given: To the superin-|
tendent and teachers of the Sunday
school, Miss Mattie Mae Cox; to the I
secretary cf the Sunday school, who
, has served in this capacity ever forty
years, Miss Sparrow; to the teachers
l of the Baraca class, Miss Leila Wil
liamson; to the Bahaca class, Mrs. W.

list included the teachers and officers.
These toasts were responded to by
Col. C. R. McCrory, J. T. Royal and
J. H. Statham. More than a hun
dred people were present, the guest
list including the teachers and officers
of the Sunday school and many invit
ed friends. Good fellowship abounded
and nothing occurred to mar the peas
ure of the evening. Much of the suc
cess of the ’cue was attributed to
John Wall, Osgood King and J. T.
Royal, who so deliciously prepared
and served the flavored meat.
Mrs. W. M. Wnams was on Mon
day afternoon hostess to the ladies
of the Methodist church at her lovely
home on Brodd street. Mrs. Williams’
home was' most attractive with its
decorations of pink and white roses
and pink and white sweet peas. The
color scheme of pink, and white was
also carried out in the delicious cake
and cream served. Mhtters pertain-
