Plans to Meet Neeods.


 Third. Plans for meeting the needs of our church school.
 'Something of the general plans for m eeting the needs of the church has been indicated above. The change of hour of the meeting time of the school we feel will graetly aid in the type of instruction and worship that We are able to give the young people. But more than that We must devise a plan for getting. a better and more pune tual attendance at the school sessions. A plan is being now perfected that We believe will greatly aid In this besides furnishing us with some much needed missionary instruction.
 Other plans, yet in embryonic form, are being developed to bring all the other organizations of the church either directly under the organization of the church, or the church school 1 The imperative need in the protes- tant world is a better training in the knowledge of the church and it's mean ing in actual life. The Sunday service has always proved inadequate to meet this need. We feel, therefore, the need for identification of the summer months that usually entirely aban- doned to play and recreation. Not that the child should have less of play and recreation but rather that the play he does have shall be of d better type, and under direction of someone com potent to control and ad minister it. It is our firm conviction that it is feasible to organize and run, for six weeks at least. this coming summer, a day school meeting five times per week. This school should give time to play as well as work, he whole system being so arranged that the moral qualities of the child will be developed while he is Tn action. In other words the school should be the union of theory and pra ctice.
 Other plans will be presented by MT. Cook that will gite a further in- dication of just what direction our ac- tivities should take during the coming year. It would be gross oversight not to add that the plans of your pastor and his assistant are always in harmony. It has been a pleasure to work with a man so broadminded anti full ideas for the development of the church and school.
 Special mention needs to be made here of those loyal men ard women

aid to the church and encouraging the social side of church life. We began this year with $175.50 in the treasury, and have added the follow ing amounts, s175.e9 by various means previous to the first of June: October 6 through the Harvest sup Der $140:00; December by sale of useful articles with the usual 25 cent supper another $20000 was added. There have also been eight 25 cent suppers served al an average profit of s2o each. The mem bership fee is xl.00 and VIC have about seventy members
 In addition to the regular suppers noted our society served the Brother hood banquet in April, the event being q feature of the twenty fifth annl- yersary of the laying of the corner stone of the church: in May we served the dinner and supper tor the District Fpworth league convention. which was held in this church: in the sa me month the society entertained the stewards of the New Haven dis trict, and in October banquet was served for the Baraca Sunday school class.
 Our expenditures for the year have CCn as 1OtlONS
 In April the parsonage was refitted at an expense of about s260. A new carpet has been laid in the choi" gallery and the church and chapel carpets have been repaired. the work costing about s20. When the call ame from the local hospital com nittee for supplies this society re- sponded witch s27.S2 in shooting. This iod to two very pleasant afternoons in which the work of making up'' was completed. The society also gave s250 toward the previous years de- Eciency for current expenses.
 Social teas have been held each month on the afternoon of the church supper with the object of be- coming better acquainted With each other, especially with those who have more recently united with us. Our board of visitors are doing an inn pCrtant work. In a ddition to system- attic calling many of them are dis tributing quarterlies for the home de- pertinent of the Sunday school.
 Woman's Home Missionary Society.
 The report of the Woman's Home Missionary society was presented by the president, Mrs Rand. as follows:
 Our w. H. M. s has a total mem bership of S5; 73 regular members and 12 honorary members, The mem bership has been increased by l3 during the past year. The average at our meetings has been 30, and 31 of our women subscribed to the 'W oman's Home Missions" Following are our expenditures for this year:

Tragedy
Spartanburg, July Especial K. II.
Barraw, prominent drought the State
in U. C. T. cinrcles, and his little
daughter, Miss Jennie Sue, 1S years of
age, were the victims of quicksand,
when they were drowned in Pearsin's
Pond, near the Country Club, east OF
the city, this afternoon, while Mrs.
Barrow and thre little sons stood near
the edge of the water and were un-
able to give any assistance. The &C
cident occurred in small body Of
water, near which just the memers
of the Barrow family had spent the
Afternoon on a quiet family picnic.
Miss Jennie Sue Barrow had gone in
to the pond to wade, when she was
seen TO be sinking beyond her height,
and Mr.. Barrow, with his clothing on,
entered the water to go to her assis-
tance. When he approached her he
began to sink and the child disappear
ed, but in her struggles seized her fa-
ther about the neck, which carried
him below the water for moment.
His head, however, reappeared above
the water, but, imbedded in the sand
above his knees, he was never able
to extricate himself and was drowned
standing up with the top Of his head
showing above the surface of the pond.

Rate Rising Hapidiy

Not only are these four classes paid
much more literally than other en-
ployes, but the figures show that
their rate Of wages has been rising
more rapidly than that Of any other
classes.
In 1914 the Interstate Commerce
Commissions report showed the num-
ber Of railroad employees for the en-
tire country to be 1,710,2s6. Out Of
this number there were 62,021 en-
gineers, 64,s59 flremen, 4S,201 con-
ductors, and 138,S09 other trainmen;
a total of 311 800, or Just about one
sixth of the entire number.
At that same date, the number Of
trackmen, exclusive Of foremen, was
S37,451. That is, the number Of COM
mon laborers on the section was
greater than the entire roll Of en-.
gineers, fremen, conductors, and
brakemen. Yet this huge army Of
trackmen was working for an aver
age wage Of $1.5S per day, while en-
gineers were getting $500, flremen
were getting $2.13, conductors were
getting $4.39, and other trainmen
were getting $3.04. These figures are
the commissions averages for the en-.
tire country.
Condition Bettered
Largely because they are the best
organized classes or railway workers
and have been unramitting in their
demands for better wages, these four
classes have succeeded in lettering
their condition rapidly and regularly,
at the expense of the other classes,
which are not so highly organized.
The trainmen, whenever they insist
on a wage increase, have, on their
side, the tremendously potent argu-
ment that II they don't get what they
ask, they can walk out and tie up the
whole railroad system. No other
class of employees could do this, be-
cause no other Is so instantly indis-
pensable.
How effectively the 1our favored
classes have used their power Is
shown by the cold figures. In the
ten years from 1903 to 1912, inclusive.
the salaries of general officers in
creased an average Of II per cent.
In that same ten-year period the
salaries of engineers increased "a
per cent.
During those same ten years the
wages of general office clerks increas-
ed 13 per cent, while the wages OF
firemen increased 80 per cent.
During those same ten years the
wages Of telegraph operators and dis.
patchers increased IA per cent, while
those Of trainmen other than conduc-
tors increased 36 per cent.

BEST PAID men
ARE NOW ASKING
FOR HIGHER PAY
Government Officials Fail To Find Any
Justice In Demands Of Train Ser.
vice Employees.
BY Judson c. WellIver In The Wash.
lneton Tlmes.

Administrative and legislative au-
thorities in Washington are taking a
distinctly different views Of the pres
ent effort Of railway trainmen to
compel an advancement IN tnsT
wages, from any that has been taKen
on former occasions.
1t Is very apparent that the case
for the employees seeking hgner
wages is viewed with less arniaolllty
than ordinarily. In legislative CIT
cles there has recently been serious
talk of legislation to prohibit strikes
by employees Of interstate carriers
and to provide procedure for com'
pulsory arbitration.
The impression has gained good
deal of ground, that certain favored
classes of employees have for d long
time been systematically aggreeatins
to themselves most Of the increases
in wages.
Highest Paid Class OF Men
On behalf Of the enginemen and
trainmen who are making the de-
mand for a large wage increase, 1t Ia
urged that the higher cost OF living
iustifies their demand. Yet these
men, the engineers, firemen, conduo.
tors and brakemen, are the highest
paid classes Of railroad labor. The
question being asked why an engineer
getting an average wage In 1913 OF
s5.Qe, should require an increase
while traokmen, who were getting
s1.5s per day, should be left out?
Again, the average wage OF conduc-
tors in 1918 is shown by the statistics
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to have been $4.39 per day. At
the same time, telegraph operators
and dispatchers were getting an aver
age wage of $2.52 per day.
II the increased cost OF living Tor
the s4.3s conductor necessitates
large increase in his compensation.
where does the $3.50 dispatcher come
In?
No demand is being urged on be-
half of the operators and dispatchers,
and some Of the railroads have lately
been intimating vigorously that II
big additional burden must be laid
on their labor funds they would like
to give the benefit to the poorer paid
classes of employees.
The truth Of the whole business s
that, as q whole, the railroad en-
ployes of the country are not very
highly paid as compared to other peo.
pie. A few classes Of railroad men
are paid very high wages. The most
fortunate of all these classes are the
engineers, fremen, conductors and
