COTTON CONGRESS MEETS
Pass Resolutions Endorsing Reduc-
itOn Acreage-Against Ware
aOuSe Plan.

The cotton congress for Newberry
county met in the court house on
Thursday at II o'clock. 1t was called
to order by President C. E. Summer.
The attendance was very good all sec
tions of the county being represented
by substantial farmers. Very little
progress, however, had been made in
securing pledges to reduce acreage in
1915.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone stated that he
had made no progress in getting
pledges orin getting anyone to at
tend the meeting. Dr. G. Y. Hunter
reported good meeting September 80,
in Number 9 township. He stated
tat the sentiment was strong for a
reduction of acreage to not more than
eight acres to the mule and taat he
sentiment was equally opposed to the
Harsehouse system.
There was considerable discussion
and t.e, following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we ask the legisla-
ture to enact a law so as to reduce
the acreage in cotton for 1915 to 8
acres per mule or less.
Resolved, That we in mass meeting
express our appreciation to those
fertilizer companies and others allow
ing 10 cents for cotton in liquida-
ton of debts due them.
Resolved further, That We extend
our tanks and appreciation to those
public spirited people who lave join
ed in tie "Buy-a-Bale" movement.

WEDNESDAY DAY OF ATONEMENT
Yom Kippur, Holiest of Days in Jewish
Calendar-Was Observed Here
in Usual Way.

The day of atonement, Yom Kip
pur, TEE hottest o. the Jewish cal
endar lell this year on the Both
day of September. This festival is
ordained in Leviticus XVI 1884 and
XIII 1852. In both passages il IS
styled "a Sabbath Of Solemn Rest
The purpose Of the day of atone
ment is clearly indicated by its name.
It is intended to complete and crown
the work of the penitential season,
begun on the first Of Tishri NeW
Year,, by finally reconciling the soul
with the Almighty Implicitly trusting
in Divine forgiveness, the lsrealite
believes t1at his contrition, if it be
really sincere will atone for him,
and make him "at one once more
with his Heavenly Father. The day,
then, is devoted to supreme effort
to penitence, to mighty endeavor
after communion with the Almighty.
1t is spent in prayer and meditation.
1t is kept, too, as fast, in obe-
dience to the command given in
each of the two passages cited where
the expression "afflict his SOUL ust
be understood, as it is throughout
tie Bible, as synonymous with fast
ing.
The chief. the real aim OF the
day atonement is re ormed life.
All the external elements Of tee
DAYS observance-its worship and
>austerities-are intended to promote
this supreme purpose. They cannot
do duty for it. The act Of fasting is
partly to serve as self imposed
chastisement, and partly it has re-
flex influence. For hunger and
weakness tell upon the. conscience;
they mortify pride, break down OBJ
stinacy, cast men down before God
in humility and contrition. But fast
ing does even more than that. Talk
ing tie worshipper away from such
carnal occupations as eating and
drinking, it helps to fix his thoughts
upon the needs of the soul. 1t makes
the day denial, but also of CORES
pondingly increased spirituality.
Following are other Jewish feast
days this fall and in 1915:
Feast of Tabernacles, October 5
and 6; Feast of Taw, October 13 and
Il; Purint February 2S; Passover,
March 80 and 81; Last Passover. April
