Boys in Court for Throwing Kisses to Girls During Worship Service, July 3, 1926

Throwing Kisses During Services Rather Dangerous

Spartanburg, S.C., July 2—Throwing kisses at young women in churches landed three boys in the magistrate’s court this week.

The youngsters, Arnold Mills, Horace Atkins and Percy Johnson, are alleged to have disturbed public worship at Mount Zion Free Will Baptist Church near Inman by throwing kisses at some of the girls in the building while the pastor was engaged in prayer. The girls, it is said, returned the kisses, but no court action was taken against them.
