" s 1. The supreme court in enjoining a dozen slot machine owners and operators from setting uj\ their machines in this state said it seldom issues an injunction against law violators, leaving that to the trial courts to decide guilt, but the slot machine men have been so busily engaged in enjoining sheriffs $nd. police chiefs from seizing their machines operated in violation of law, that it will make an exception of them. Now, if they operate the machines they will be subject to fine for contempt, instead of a jury trial in the criminal court. THE THRIFT SHOP 1 I Camden.

Moriah Holds Unique Record The fcixty-sixth anniversary 1 services *>i the founding of Mt. Moriah Baptist church were held Sunday , with a large congregation attending. | The services were interspersed by old (time jubilee songs, and the chief fea(ture of the services was the nnnual address delivered by. Judge Mendel |L. Smith, of this city. In his address Judge 'Smith gave some interesting ! historical facts in connection with this church. He said: "On January 22, 1866, one hundred and four letters of-dismission -were granted to members of the First I Baptist church, white, for the purI pose of organizing the colored Baptist church, fifty^four of these were male.and fifty females. Rev. <C, O, Cory, a white missionary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society l and James Hamilton, colored, of the American Baptist Missionary iSociety instituted the church. I "In 1868 the lot upon which the present church is located was con" veyed to the organization. There were two old buildings on the site-at that time which were remodelled and which were used as the church. The present building was constructed in 1891. * "The Rev. Monroe Boykin was elected pastor at the organization of I the church and served actively until J - ** "7 " f-a May, 1901, and as emeritus until December 1, 1904, the time of his death. His son, tfo'J. W. Boykin, was elected active pastor in May, 1901, and has served the church conTlhuoualy up to this time. "The", history, of this church is unique in-aB-much-as it has had qnjjiy two pastors, father and eon, during its entire history, a period of sixtysix years. The church membership comprises some of the best colored /J citizens of the community." ' The rule of the state highway department that it will accept nothing but money orders in payment of license plate fees is being tested by D. Gordon Baiter, former state senator from Florence, who got a restraining order from a county judge front i interfering with his car bearing 1981 ' plates. He remitted cashiers checks for two new plates on time, and the - visjj department sent them back to him ^ and demanded money orders about the time the bank closed permanently. Unemployed women of Brisbane, (Jr, Australia, threaten to march,through the streets of the city nude, unless the estate minister of labor agree? to discuss their problems with them.
