REVIVAL MEETING CLOSES
IN MILL DISTRICT
Young Collegian as Evangelist.

Young collegian as Evangelist.
The Methodist Church of the mill
district has been carrying on a two
weeks revival meeting, which closed
Wednesday night. Rev. J. N. Isom,
pastor of the church, expressed en-
tire satisfaction with the spirit and
consequence of the meeting. Some
forty or fifty results marked the eff
fectiveness of the evangelist's ap-
peal, young Carl Griffith of Wofford
College, doing the preaching. Rev.
J.. L. Daniel was present at several
OF the services and thus lent it his
support.
Mr.. Griffith is a nephew of Rev.
j. H. Banner, who conducted the
evangelistic services at Mr.. Daniels
church recently. A tall, athletic
young man with rufled black hair
and aggressive nose, he looked any
thing but like a minister, when we
went to see him at Mr.. Purdy's.
His story sounds like the fiction
of Horatio Alger. In the ups and
downs of life, he laughingly assured
US that the downs had predominated,
so far as he was concerned. Mr..
Griffith is paying his way through
Wofford College, where he is in a
Junior. At the present time, he
holds enough revival meetings in
the summer vacation practically to
dccoInpuSu CnlS.
The young evangelist was born in
David County, North Carolina,
twenty-five years ago. At an early
age he felt the call to the ministry,
even before being converted. His
conversion, he assured us, was mere
ly1the specialization of a previous
determination to precah. This step
was taken three years ago and al
most Immediately he entered upon
hisscareer. Asked where he had
attneded school, Mr.. Griffith said
that he had spent two years in The
Textile Industrial Institute of Spar
tanburg. 81 want you to be sure to

mention that school," he said, "be.
cause I want its reputation to grow.
It is one of the grandest little schools
on earth" Of course, such a strong
statement as this aroused our curl.
osity. Why was it such a fine
school? One reason we had already
begun to suspect. On the young
mans watch fob hung a gold medal
and it was marked, ct. I. Ora.
tory" But the chief reason lay in
the opportunities the school offered
to the poor boy. For there he can
get work in the school mill or shops
and thereby pay his way through a
literary course. After attending
the Institute, Mr.. Griffith spent a
year in Asberry College Of Ken,
lucky, and then entered Wofford as
a Sophomore.
The meeting in Abbeville has been
a very successful one. Sunday ser.
vices wer especially fine, the altar
being crowded with repentent per.
sons. On Monday night we had the
pleasure of being present and were
very much impressed. The singing
was lively and voluminous. The
words, "Great day of His WRATH" in
Rev. 20:11 were chosen as key to
the message. Many days have ap,
peared great in our eyes, but God
has spoken of them and not condo.
scended to so term them: not even
the day of creation or of the flood
or of the resurrection. But God has
called one day great and one alone
namely, the day of his judgment
And it is indeed great. The number
of people involved, the revelation
promised, and the very fact that il
is coming when least expected, all
contribute to this end. Moreover
it, Of all days, is Gods day. And
there shall be joy on the right hand
and eternal dispair on the left hand
After the sermon, which was deliv'
cred whit dignifed earnestness
three young ladies came forward
and were received.
Mr.. Griffith left Immediately fol
lowing the meeting for his home ir
Pelzer, s. c., where he will rest uI
for a few days before entering hi
next meeting. We wish him great
success in the service, which he viii
enter this fall, and also in his flu
ture ministerial career. 1t was in
deed a pleasure to meet him.

DANGEROUS M
SHOWN TO BE FALSE

Columbia-Reports in circulation
10 the effect that Food Administration
officials had stated no further con-
servation Of wheat was necessary have
been nailed as unfouded in q telegram
received by William Elliott, State food
administrator, from Herbert Hoover.
"No statement Of this character has
ever been issued" says Mr.. Hoover,
and the federal food administrator
then states frankly the exact situation
which emphasizes the absolute nsces.
stty of even greater conservation OF
wheat than the American people have
yet prxoticed. For that reason the ap-
peal was recently made to the Amert.
can people, through the churches, BY
Nj. Hoover, asking that every ono
who possibly cal do so discontinue
eating wheat or wheat products In any
form until the next harvest.
It Is, stated IN Mr.. Hoover's tOle'
gram that American supplies Of wheat
until the next harvest allow a home
consumption OF not more than QUE
khird of normal, II America L. to NOM
tain allied supplies-that is, the send
Ing of wheat to Europe, as tlis coun-
try Is pledged to do.
At the beginning Of May, there were
IN farmers hands and in storage in
America about $4,000, 900 bushels Of
wheat, which will have to carry the
American people for approximately
three months, until the new crop
comes In. Americas normal consump-
ton for three months would be no.
o00, 900 bushels, not allowing the Allies
anything.

.A READY MARKET
FOR CANNED GOODS
Home Canned Products VIII
be Given Preference Over
Maryland and Virginia Pack
by Large Concerns.

Columbia.-A ready market has
been developed In South Carolina for
all home-canned fruits and vegetables
that will be put up during the COM
Ing canning season in excess OF do.
nestle needs. This announcement has
been made by the Conservation and
Production Division Of the Food Ad.
ministrstion, which has been work
Ing on the problem Of marketing OF
home-canned products for the past
two months. A number Of the lead
ing Wholesale grooers and jobbers Of
tho State have not only expressed
their willingness to buy home-canned
fruits and vegetables properly pre-
pared for commercial use, but viii
give the home-canned product the
preference over Maryland and Vir-
ginia packed goods.
The Food Administration has on
Ale the requirements Of several large
concerns and has been asked to ind
the canned products to supply their
needs. Thousands Of cans Of fruits
and vegetables can be readily sold,
but the packers will be required, as q
matter of course, to conform to Ger
tain trade rules-
In the first place, the price must be
In conformity with that for which
Maryland and Virginia packed goods
can be bought
Canned products should not be Of
fered for the wholesale trade except
In large lots. It Ii suggested that
farmers and others who desire to put
upfruits and vegetables for the market
form marketing agencies, in order that
their product may be handled in larg-
ef lots to a greater advantage.
The grades must be uniform and
certain standards maintained. The
canned product must Of course be put
up in uniform cases, and the cans uni.
formly labelled.
Contracts for. fall deliveries should
10 made now or In the very near
future.
Canning clubs, community clubs or
marketing agencies with large guam
titles Of canned fruits and vegetables
to offer for sale should write the Food
Administration, Conservation and Pro-
tuction Division, at Columbia, stating
what they have to Offer vt the present
time or what they viii have to deliver
IN tbs fan, stating the price desired
and all information. .
The Food Administration will make
no purchases or sales, but 1t may serve
90. q connecting link to bring the pack
srs and tho dealers together.
A. has already been announced,
there will be plenty Of cans and jars
a1ailable for homo Gamers during the
coming season. Communities that are
not supplied should report 10 the Food
Administration at Columbia, and mer-
chants Will be put in touch with
sources Of supply upon request. At
tractfve stock labels can bs bought

Packers Of fruits and vegetables
should remember that they cannot ex-
