Banty Tim (1913)
On the street of a little Tennessee town a mob is attacking Banty Tim, a hunchback negro, with the intent of driving him out of the community. To the rescue of the poor black comes Tilman Joy, a Union soldier. He places himself in front of Tim and commands the mob to fall back. Two or three times the mob press forward, but Tilman demands that they hear his story. It was at the battle of Vicksburg Heights that he, Tilman Joy, was wounded. Presently he saw a crippled form crawling on hands and knees toward him; it was Banty Tim, who in the past had received some kindness at the hands of Joy. Tim raised the body of the helpless soldier upon his back and with the rebel bullets flying all around him reached the Union lines with his burden. The negro hunchback had saved the soldier's life, and as Joy tells the tale to the infuriated mob reaction takes place. They press upon Banty Tim and in turns grasp his black hands and with many expressions of good wishes resolve that he is a man and a brother and henceforth a good citizen of Spunky Point.
