PANAMA BUILDING ABANDONED.
Makes Announcement Regarding En-
position at Frisco.

Columbia, Nov. 6.-The movement
for a South Carolina building at the
Panama Pacific Exposition has been
abandoned, according to an announce
ment here today by Edwin w. Rob-
ertson, chairman of the committee.
The following statement was is
sued:
I'm view of the unprecedented con-
dition of affairs in South Carolina
we find it out of the question to raise
sufficient money to put South Caro-
lima building at the Penama-Pacific
Exposition.
Your committee has used every
effort to sell the medals, and the
moving picture company has done its
best to get subscriptions without suf-
ficient success to justify further ef-
forts. We are, therefore, of necessi-
ty forced to abandon the movement y
South Carolina will not be repre-
sented at the exposition unless provi-
sion is made by the next general as
sembly. The appropriation proposed
in 1913 was voted down in the State
senate.

kind Of woman's work!
On the second night the Williston
church asked the association to re-
cede from business for the purpose
of permitting the church to ordain
deacons. 1t struck some Of the dele
gates as an innovation, but it was
heartily agreed to, since it would be
a valuable object lesson for the mes
sengers while losing none Of its sig
nificance for the local church. Things
old become new. In 1857, so read
in the history Of the body, two col
ored candidates were set apart for
the ministry at Springtown, Brother
T. J. Counts brought this matter be-
fore the body in behalf of Philadel-
phia and Friendship churches. All
ministers present were appointed a
presbytery to examine and ordain the
two candidates. They were ordained
on Sunday afternoon after preaching
by Rev. Isaac Nichols. Ordinations
are rare at associational meetings
not so much because it interferes
with the business Of the body as be-
cause the bodies have a weak inter-
est in forms and ceremonies. Since
the churches have so little Of the
ritualistic and the formal, it would
seem all the more important to have
that little done we'll and impressive
ly.
1t was a delight to greet again pas
tors j. D. Huggins, w. R. Mcmillan,
E. A. Mcdowell, w. L. Hayes, along
with many new pastors. The Barn
we'll pastors are capable and efficient
and as a whole the body is making
progress.
The womans work in the Barnwell
association has grown to be very use

tivities of the body. Bro. S. G. May

men are hearty co-workers who bring
things to pass.

that l could not remain till the end

mon was to be preached. My visit

therefore chiefly selfish, but l was

The Barnwen Association.

FOr some years Iue WTiISl loS SoF
eted a visit to Williston and the
Barnwell association. During seven
years in the early part of a ministry
that is now becoming crowded with
happy memories and Joyous antici-
pations, l was pastor at Williston
and Rosemary and went regularly to
the annual meetings OF the associa-
ton. had the pleasure Of visiting
both Williston and the Barnwell as
sociation in it's recent session there.
1t wss a surprise to see the new
church building erected few years
ago under the leadership Of DR.. w.
NJ. Jones. 1t is a combination house
suited to various congregational uses
as a workshop and place Of wor-
ship. To build such house at Will
liston is enough to distinguish the
pastorate of DR.. Jones. He Is en-
throned in the affections of the peo-
pie and is wise and effective leader,
as well as a most thoughtful pheach-
er. The kindly faces of William Mer-
ritt, w. A. B. Newsom, Mrs. Ann Mat
thews, Mrs. ]. A. Harvey, Mrs. R.
NJ. Willis, and others, though soften
ed by the twilight of approaching
age, beamed upon the visitor with
cordiality. A younger set and still
a younger set wore faces less familiar
because more changed, though In
name and feature linked with the
vanished and the vanishing elders.
1 recalled many faces of those dear
ones that have gone to join the 81
lent majority and the choir invisible.
DR.. C. C. Brown made a fine ap-
peal for aged ministers and their
widows. He was followed in pleas
ing address on education and Coker
college by DR.. Howard Lee
Jones. On alighting from the
train saw the unworried sec
retary of State missions, DR.. De-
rieux, leaving for another associa-
ton. He appeared to be happy in
his work without bearing the bur-
dens of the pastors and the churches
unnecessarily. Bro. J. B. Bozeman,
recently from Georgia, did faithful
work for Connie Maxwell orphanage,
and left with the flying squadron.
The delegates went quietly on with
their work. One gas struck with the
marvellous work done in the course
of twenty-four years by the indefa-
tigueable colporter, w. G. Brltton.
Rightly the body continues to sup
port him and his growing work.
Where in all the South can be found
another colporter who can match for
sacrifice and persistent and efficient
labors that career of Brother Brit
ton? He had on sale copies of the
history of Barnwell association, 1856
1913. l read my copy through with
interest on my way home
from Williston. Clara Johnston Hit
has rendered a rare service to the
churches in preparing this history,
and as much can be said for the pub
fishers. the Baptist Courier company.
1t is a valuable contribution towards
a history of the Baptists of the State,
as all local history is part of a
larger whole. Are there not women
in other associations who can do this

CHANGE ELECTION DATE
SENATE PASSES SWEAT BILL BY
A VOTE OF 20 TO 4.
Measure Caused a Lively Debate in
Which the Speakers Harked Back
to DAYS of RECONSTRUCTION.


ATLANTA lively debate in
which various speakers harked back
to the days of reconstruction was
precipitated in the state senate when
the Sweat bill, changing the time of
election of governor, county officials,
members of the general assembly and
state house officials from the first
Wednesday in October to the Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
Der, came up for passage after the
third reading. The bill passed 20
to 4.
Senator ]. l.. Sweat of the Fifth,
father of the bill, offered the argu-
ment that the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November was already
the date set for the election of con-
gressmen in Georgia and that there
was no reason why the state elections
could not occur on the same day.
Anderson Advocates Change.
President ]. Randolph Anderson
left the chair to Senator w. w. Stark
of the Thirty-second and took the
floor as strong advocate of the
measure. In this day and time, he
argued, the real elections in Georgia
are the state primaries in August
and the October elections are merely
matters of form, albeit an expensive
and useless form costing each coun-
ty from $500 to $500 a day. Much
trouble and expense would be saved,
he urged, by making the state and
national election date simultaneous.
Senator Mcneil of the Twenty-sec-
ond raised the issue that the govern
ment election would interfere with
the state elections. He said he was nj
favor of the spirit of the bill, but was
doubtful of its success.
The strongest opponent of the
measure was Senator C. E. McGregor
Of the Nineteenth, who explained just
why the elections had always been
different in Georgia. Himself Con-
federate veteran, Senator McGregor
went back to the days Immediately
after the war and told how the Geor-
gia general assembly of that time set
the state and national elections on
different days in the belief that the
government at Washington would in
terfere with state elections. These
men believed in the imminence of
that danger, he declared, danger
which was still extant and which
Georgia might experience, should the
dates be made the same.

ion there WI be more souls lost
through hypocrisy than through all
the other crimes in the deca1ogue.

No will has been found. Judge

fairs in Texas, says
"In almost my last conversation

will. He seemed interested, but
apparently let the matter drop"
Ogden was reared on a farm in
Central Indiana. He and his brother,
with small sum that they were able
to raise, went to Chicago and in
vested in property just after the big
fire. He later acquired his broth
er's property interests. He still own
ed some of the original holdings that
he bought in Chicago in those early
days. He was a nephew of William

DEPRESSION IS PASSING
UNITED STATES MAINTAINS ITS
FOREIGN BUSINESS WELL.
FoOdstuff Importations Increase and
Exports Decrease. Figures Given
Out BY Secretary Redfield.


Observation-Disclosures manu-
facturers sent into the United States
the first eight months of the new
tariff system just S.S per cent more
of their finished product than they
did under the old. Secretary Red
field pointed to this as ample demon
stration that there was no ground for
fears that American factory owners
would be driven from business by the
democratic tariff.
Importations of foodstuffs showed
a large increase while foodstuff ex-
ports fell off, There was relatively
small reduction in the amount of
completed manufactures exported.
'"The figures said Secretary Red
field, show the results of the world
wide depression in commerce as mod
flied by our own shortage of food
stuffs arising from the inadequate
crops of last year, which condition
rapidly is passing away. They indi-
cate also that our competing power in
manufacturing is well sustained be-
cause at a time when our CONNER
cial rivals are eager to sell and un-
willing to buy the item of exports of
fully finished manufactures is de-
pressed relatively little and the item
of finished manufactures increases
relatively little"
In the line of finished manufact-
ures MIR. Redfield said the United
States was maintaining its foreign
business well.
''The decrease of exports of food
stuffs," the secretary added, in the
eight months, amounted to $97, 573,-
5S8, a fact sufficiently explained by
our not having the foodstuffs to sell.
The present large promise of fine
crops already has begun to alter this
situation. A further decrease appears
in manufactures for further use in
manufacturing of $3O,668,377, re-
fiecting the depressed condition of in
dustries in foreign countries"
Out of total decrease in exports
for the, eight months were $145, 703,-
$40 more than 1928, 100000 was in
foodstuffs and manufactures for fur
Their use in manufacturing.
Total imports for the eight months
were $1,288, 656,041, compared with
1926, 1865 for the same period
last year. Free merchandise for the
two periods was, respectively, $780,
.214,03S and $3.50, ,455. Total
exports were $1,64O,965, 1905 against
$1,786, ,945.
Imports for May, 1914, amounted
to 1854, 2O9,515 compared with
$133,723,713 year ago. Exports
were $161,732,619, a decrease of
1919 per cent since the previous May.

ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.
If Your Wife Hits You Don't Hit Her

If your wife uses corporal punish

Corn in One Night. Effect
i've Remedy Needed.
The Camilla Enterprise says the
army worm, which did so much dam
age in Mitchell county two years ago,
has again appeared in sections of the
county and in certain localities
threatens to do serious damage to
corn. Several farmers within few
miles of Camilla have reported the
appearance of the worm in the past
few days.
Mr.. M. H. Metcalf reports the
worms in his corn and in one place
they have eaten all the grass and
stripped the corn for two or three
feet above the ground. He has head
ed off the worms on one side by
plowing a deep furrow through his
field into which the worms fall and
are unable to get out.
Paris Green a Remedy.
The only remedy, SO far as we
know, suggested by the department
of agriculture is the use of paris
green, but this remedy is great deal
of trouble to apply when the worms
are scattered over an entire field.
Two years ago when the worms
struck Mitchell county a great deal
of damage was done. In many cases
large fields of corn were almost COM
pletely ruined. The hay crop, which
has become of considerable import
ance, was also considerably damaged.
1t seems that the worms first appear
