SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
Report Of Six Months Activities Sub
mitted by Secretary Webb.

SpdrtanDurS, NOV o.-Ii e1eiiSAiAS
progress was made in the work OF the
South Carolina Sunday School Asso-
ciation for the last six morths, ac-
cording to a report submit ~ H.
D. Webb, General Secretar. IT the
semi-annual meeting of the Central
Executive Committee Tuesday after
noon. The employed workers of Ihe
association, according to this report,
have attended a total of III Sunda!
School Conventions and conferences,
at which there were present total
of 9,194 people, representing a tota;
of 1896 Sunday schools Of all de-
nominations in the State. In spite
of unusual conditions during the first
six months Of the association year,
and the quarantine caused by the in
huenza epidemic in October, the re-
port shows that more conventions
were held, more schools were reach
ed, and mre liberal financial support
was received than during the CORE
spending period Of any previous year.
Many plans for new and advanced
work along Sunday School lines
were adopted by the Central Execu-
tive Committee. It was voted to con-
duct throughout the State a Sunday
School drive on Sunday, December
1st. The South Carolina Sunday
School Association is asked to join
the ot;7 er State and provincial asso-
Citations Of the continent in promot-
ton on December 1st. The purpose IS
out the country to send a visitor to
every school to awaken it to the im-
minent need of the starving people
in Bible lands. In South Carolina
this plan has been enlarged so as to
include the holding of District Con-
vention in every district in every
county in the State, for the purpose
of arousing fresh enthusiasm in Sun
day school work. The School Vista
tin will take. place IA the morning;
and it is expected that more than g.
900 speakers in the State will be used
on this occasion. The Sunday School
Conventions will be held in the after
noon, and it is the purpose to use a
thousand people on the programs and
to reach with helpful methods Of
work more than three-fourths of the
Sunday Schools of the State.
The committee adopted an enlarged
budget, which, when raised, will en-
able the association to employ a spe-
cialist in boys work and q specialist
in rural work on full time. Accord
ing to plans outlined, this budget will
be raised by finance committee
composed of some of the leading
Christian business men in the State.
According to action Of the Central
Committee, the State Association will
during the months Of February and
March, direct the holding of County
Older Boys and Older Girls Con-
ferences for the development of lead
ership among the young people, and
will conduct Sunday School institutes
in the larger towns and cities Of the
State. Much attention will be given
to the observance of Chi'dren's
Week April 27-May 3. for emphasiz-
ing religious education for all chill
dren. The date of the next State
Convention was changed from May
6-7-S, to June 3-4-5. 1919.

SENATOR SMITH MAKES INQUIR-
les. 80
Takes up Decline in Cotton Prices
With Mr.. Baruch.

The Daily Item has received the
following statement from Senator ks
D. Smith in regard to the present
decline in the cotton market:
"Lynchburg, S. c., Nov. 4, 1913.
"1 have received numerous letters:
and telegrams concerning the present
unwarranted decline in the cottoH
market I assumed that theresWassss
none better situated than the Two
committees appointed by the govern
,ent to act in reference to the sup
Lily and distribution Of cotton, e
pecially so because on one OF the CON-
mittees were Iessrs. McFaddens
Gwathmey and Inman, with ME. sChas-
J. Brand, chief Of the Bureau OF Mar
kets, chairman. Mr.. Baruch OF the
War Industries Board, was named 20
take charge Of having these commit
tees appointed and under the gener-s
al auspices of the War Industries
board they were to act.
81 sent Mr.. Baruch on October 2As;
the following: fsss;ss
"Why was not the price Of cotton
goods revised on October 1, as sched-E
uled? The condition of the cotton
| market is demoralizing because OF the
widespread belief that government
agencies are in favor Of lower prices
eff assurance could be given. that:
the government would not attempt 70
interfere with normal market it
would go far in averting impending
disaster at once ~
ITO this inquiry on the 28th Mr.:
Baruch replied, which reply quote m m
part: The price of cotton goods was
not revised on October 1, and was so
stated because of the lack Of infor-s
nation regarding cost. You say there;
is widespread belief that government
agencies are in favor Of lower prices:
T do not see where they have gotten
any such information or belief, as, 50.
far as I know, there has never been
any expression on that. The eotton
committee meets next Tuesday and .
trust they will be able to make some.
definite and final announcement.
"On November 1 I sent the follow
ing to Mr.. Charles j. Brand:
"sCotton market declining disas-
trous1y. Farmers holding. Who is It
selling such quantities Of contracts IN
spite of the fact that spots are not

have as to reasons for present condl-
tons and who are the parties selling

"To thisI have had no reply. Now
it seems to me that, in view Of the
action Of the government and the ex-
perience of some of the men appoint
ed by the government to act for the
| government, they should know exactly
the reasons for the present conditions
, and be able to give the facts to the
public. Hence my communication TO
Messrs. Baruch and Brand. There

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove eandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need). apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your nair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.-Adv.
