GOOD KEEPING APPLES

THE proof of the pudding Is the
eating thereof" and among other
things this applies to apples.
In a conversation that the editor OF
The Enquirer had with Mr.. E. c.
Falls, who lives near Piedmont
springs, one day last October. there
came up the subject Of apples, and
reference was made to the fact that
there was a belief common to a great
many people hat because Of climatic
conditions or other reasons not salts
factorily explainable, this York coun-
ty locality would not produce an ap-
pie that would keep through the win
ter in a sound condition except In the
form of a preserve of ONE kind.
Mr.. Falls laughed at the idea as alb
surd, said that he had for years been
raising apples that could be depended
upon to keep beautifully through the
winter, and to prove what he said. Of
fered to bring the editor some speci-
mems which, If handled according to
his instructions, would solve all re-
naming doubts along hat line. The

- The sinking of the United States
submarine F-4, in OF close outside OF
the harbor Of Honolulu, has been a
subject of distressing concern
throughout the United States since
last Thursday. The boat, with q crew
of 81 men, in command of Lieut.. Al
fred EIDE, of Reno, Nevada, went out
for a practice cruise on Thursday
morning, and Of her failure to arrive
back at her dock at the expected hour
on Thursday afternoon serious appre-
hension developed rapidly. Search
was commenced without delay. All
available ships were put to dragging
the harbor and the immediate outly-
ing waters. On Friday n Of the
searching vessel reported 1t had found
the missing craft at the bottom Of the
harbor at a depth Of about so fath-
oms-300 feet. Later a hold was Sc
cured with graphing irons, and a
huge crane was brought into requtsi-
ton. News went out Friday hat the
sunken vessel was being raised; but
on Sunday came the information that
as 1t was about half way to h sur
face the chains slipped and 1t went
back to the bottom. All hope had Tor
the lives Of the crew had been given
up on the theory that twenty-four
hours was as long as human life could
be sustained In such a craft when
submerged. It was also believed that
because of the tremendous water
pressure at a depth Of so fathoms, the
plates Of the submarine would have
caved In and it would be full Of water.
On yesterday came the information
that the supposed submarine was only
an old anchor hat had once probably
belonged to the Oregon, and 1t was
thought that the F-4 had been locat-
ed just without the harbor entrance,
and that the vicinity was being
dragged by numerous tugs and other
vessels, which were criss-crossing In
such a way as to thoroughly scour the
sea.

BIBLE SOCIETY MEETS

There was a large gathering Of
Yorkville people in Trinity Methodist
church Sunday evening on account of
the annual meeting Of the York County
Bible society. Devotional services were
conducted by Revs ]. H. Machen, ]. L.
Oates, Henry Stokes and DR.. E. E.
Gillespie.
DIR. q. T. Cody Of Greenville, editor
Of the Baptist Courier, was the princi-
pal speaker Of the evening, taking as
his subject the Relation Of Christ to
the Bible" He deplored the present
day tendency to put the Bible along
with other books and said that such
tendency could be checked only by
building up a new faith in Jesus
Christ. The Word Of God, he said, Ia
backed by Jesus. Let men believe
that Christ died and 1t will be impos-
sible for them to forsake the great
Book.
ITO my mind. there car be no doubt
of the divinity Of Christ" DR.. Cody
declared. His words, his works, his
influence, his powerful enemies and
the apostolic faith in him declare him
the Son Of God. Although 1000 years
have elapsed since he lived, though
the minds Of men have been improved
In every direction, the greatest OF
scholars have not been able to find n
iota Of error in the words delivered by
him so long ago"
DR.. Cody declared that the rapid
progress being made throughout the
world by the teachings Of Christ was
but another testimony Of h genuine
ness Of Christ and predicted that the
time would soon come when the Bible,
Christ's word, would be more rever-
enced and there would be a greater de-
mand for the Book Of books.
Following DR.. Cody's address, Messrs.
George w. Brown, A. T. Hart, Dr. D.
L. Shieder, w. E. Ferguson and M. L.
Carroll were appointed a committee
to solicit membership from among the
audience for the ensuing year and the
committee reported fifty EIGHT men,
bers and a collection Of about $50.
The following were named as the ex-
ecutive committee Of the society for the
ensuing year: s. c. Wood, Presby-
terrain; ]. 8. Brice, Associate Reformed
Presbyterian; ". B. Moore, Episcopal;
Geo. W. Brown, Baptist; R. E.. Mont
gomery, Methodist.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, DR.. E E.
Gillespie; vice presidents, Revs. ]. L.
Oates, Henry Stokes, T. T. Walsh, J.
H. Machen; secretary. 8. c. Wood; de-
positary and treasurer, A. T. Hart.
The report Of Dr.. D.. L. Shieder, de.
positary during the past year showed
that Bibles valued at $3.50 had been
sold during the year. A cash balance
of 1924 was reported in the bank and
stock valued at $3.50 was reported on
hand.
Rev. ]. L. Oates read a fitting tribute
to the late s. M. McNeel, treasurer OF
the society and the same was adopted
by a rising vote Of the audience. DR..
q. T. Cody was elected a life member
Of the association by reclamation.
The First National bank is to be the
depository for the society in future. A
handsome book cas- has been pur-
chased and stationed in a pen in the
bank. The society intends adding a
number Of new volumes to the Bibles
already on hand.

In a recent editorial, the Columbia
made inquiry why the preach
ers did not offer more special prayers
for the editors. Several Of the papers
took the matter up, some quite seri-
ously and others with more or less
levity, and the Record has felt con-
strained to explain that it's remark
grew out Of random thoughts that
no idea Of complaint, reproach
the like. There was no intention
to criticize the ministry or prompt 1t
to it's duty. In passing, we beg to
say in the first place, that we believe
that all the ministers whose prayers
are worth anything are already being
up in behalf Of the editors. and
the editors will help matters very ma
terially if they frequently and faith
fully offer up prayers on their own &C
count.

banks, when money demands begin to
grow this summer. Apparently this Is
not to be permitted on account OF the
very indefinite provisions of m Fed
eral reserve act on the question OF re-
demptions. The act says that two
a after it's passage the national
banks may retire their circulation and
sell their government bonds which are
now deposited with the treasury to Sc
cure such circulation. In another Sec
ton Of the act it Is stated that the re-
serve banks may issue circulation by
the deposit Of government bonds
which they own. The question was
raised as to whether the reserve banks
may ssue circulation based on govern
ment bonds owned. The opinion was ex-
pressed hat the reserve banks might
technically issue such circulation at
the present time, but 1t would be best
for the Federal reserve board not to
permit them to do it until the end OF
the two-year limit, because such was
the clear intent Of the act.
