suffer.

LUTHERAN SYNOD
/ TO PAY PRESIDENT
People of Little Mountain Thanked
for Hospitality in Entertain
ing Delegates.

The State.
, Little Mountain, Nov. 7.-What
promises to be one of the best ses-
sions of the South Carolina Luth-
eran synod ever held came to close
Thursday night at Little Mountain
Several departures Of unusual I'M
nortance marked the business OF the
session.
i One venture away from the time
honored custom was the election OF
a salaried president. The retiring
president, the Rev. H. j. Black OF
Charleston, was unanimously chosen
to this important position.
| Mr.. Black has proved himself a
! good officer and has managed the
affairs of the office in an efficient
manner.
The work of the Office requires
that the president give his whole time
to the work and therefore denies to
him the work of any local pastorate.
The recent development of the
work of the Lutheran church in this
state put too great a burden on a
pastor who must also have the over
sight of his own parish.
Other officers of synod elected
were: DIR. H. A. Mccullough, vice
president, the Rev. C. j. Shealy,
secretary; W. A. Counts, treasurer,
A. H. Kohn of Columbia was elect
ed treasurer of the 100000 educa-
ton fund.
The campaign for benevolence in
all the churches was enthusiastically
indorsed. Doubling all past benev-
olences is the plan Of the campaign.
w. A. Hentske of Columbia is man.
ager of the campaign in the synod.
He is enthusiastic over the outlook
notwithstanding the funds so recently
raised by the churches. He says the
people are ready to go forward IN
this larger work and realize the ne
cessity of aggressive work of the
Christian religion in the unsettled
condition of the world.
A vote of thanks was given the
people of Little Mountain for their
hospitality in entertaining synod.
Under the leadership of their pastor,
the Rev. J. J. Long, the Lutherans
here have a beautiful and substantial
brick church and are doing effective

TWO MILLION BALES COTTON
TO BE RETIRED FROM MARKET
American Cotton Association Decides
Upon the Measures as Part of Cen
eral Campaign for Reasonable
Prices.

Columbia, Nov. 5-Two million
bales of good grade cotton from
the present crop will be retired from
the market by the American Cotton
Association, according to a state
ment issued by J. Skottowe Wanna
maker, president Of the association,
issued here today.
The plan adopted by the associa-
ton is to transfer to the designated
banks, warehouse receipts for specl-
fed amounts of good grade cotton.
This cotton is to be held in trust until
such time as the association decides
that prices justify the cotton being
placed upon the market.
Mr.. Wannamaker declares that IN
the unanimous opinion of experts Of
the association based upon supply
and demand and the price Of the
manufactured product, the price OF
cotton should be far above present
prices and that the plan of retiring
the two million bales had been hit
upon as offering the best opportunity
for stabilizing the price.
The statement issued by Mr.. Wan
namaker announcing the intention OF
the association following in part:
"The experts of the American Cot
ton Association after a careful inves-
tigation of supply and demand, the
price of the manufactured product
and the price Of other commodities
have unanimously recommended that
that the association retire two mil
lion bales of good grade cotton from
the present crop The plans which
were recommended and which have
been adopted call on the member
ship of each State to voluntarily
transfer to designated banks ware
house receipts for specified amounts
sof good grade cotton. This cotton
lis to be held in trust until such time
as the dSSOCldGiOA uSSio1o eiAe"e P1ASSS
justify the cotton being placed upon
the market. 1t is the unanimous de-
cision of our experts that on account
Of the enormous demand for raw
cotton and the great shortage it will
not be necessary to carry this cotton
longer than the summer of 1920.
Responses being received from
various sections Of the belt show
ready compliance on the part OF the
membership of the association. Each
State is urged to report the amount
of cotton set aside under this
arrangement to the president of the
American Cotton Association. The
amount of cotton already pledged in
dicates that this plan will not only be
fully approved but that an amount
far in excess OF. the amount request
ed will be taken entirely off the
market.

TALKS ABOUT SUGAR
Correspondent Discusses Buying of
Other Commodity Also.

The State.
Suffering under the high cost Of
living, shall we become subjected to
unsympathetic imposition?
That I may make myself under
stood I cite the fact that to get a
limited quantity Of sugar, at high
price, the people are forced to buy
some other commodity whether they
want it or not.
The people through the agency of
the city council give license to the
individual, firm or corporation to do
la legitimate business under their
protection through legally constitut-
ed agencies. No license is granted
any business concern to take ad-
vantage of the populace.
AS 1 understand, the United States
government endeavors to equitably
arrange as to the distribution and
calculates as to the apportionment

himself in calculating the demand
apportions as to the requirements of
the trade and the stock under his
control, but he attaches "a rider
| (a]low me) requiring that some other
purchase be made in conjunction;
need it or not. The dealer has no
right under his license to force his
customers to make a purchase other
/ than they desire. "How can you
help it," What redress have the
people? I note-that in Richmond,
Va, the court has decreed that sach
practice is illegal and the district
! attorney has warned that prosecution
will be instituted should the practice
continue. Why are we not protected
by those whom we elect to look after

PERMANENT EXPOSITION.
Plans Include Thousand-Acre Trac
Contiguous to Washington.

NNeS W "
Editor The Washington Herald:
To further a permanent interna-
tional exposition. under government
control, to be located at our Ma
tional Capital. the following COM
mittee is proposed for conducting
such initial steps as are necessary
for the project:
The presidents of the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
Board of Trade, Louis P. Brownlow,
chairman of the District OF Colum-
bia Board of Commissioners; Hon.
John Barrett. president of the Pan
American Union; Robert N. Harper,
president of the District of Colum-
bia Chamber of Commerce; Walter
A. Brown. president of the District
Of Columbia Board of Trade; Theo-
dore W. Noyes, editor of the Wash
ington Evening Star; Edward B. Nc
Lean. editor-president of the Wash
ington Post; Arthur Brisbane, editor
of the Washington Times; Clinton
T. Brainard. president and editor OF
The Washington Herald; Lindsay s.
Perkins. Frank M. Low. H A. Seay
and Mrs. John B. Henderson.
The time is propitious for the
quick establishment of this interna-
tional institution in that destructive
legislation has been world wide on
nf r1yor nd Str l..
islation is now the order of the day
not only for promoting friendly in
ternational commercial relations and
normal conditions but in the in
terest of a permanent peace.
This committee will ask the CO.
operation and approval of the gov
ernors of each State of the Union
also the presidents of the chambers
of commerce of our larger cities fol
petitioning Congress to cloose and
purchase a tract of land consisting
of at least 1000 acres contiguous to
the city of Washington, to subdivide
II in proper form subject to the ap-
proval of the United States Art
Commission, the Congress also tc
present to each State of the Union
and such foreign countries as are
willing to join in the exposition
project an acre or more of land on
which each may erect, at it's own ex-
pense and maintenance, a building
or buildings suitable to special
needs.
As our country has now more thar
ever become of world wide import
ance 1t is averred that an exposition
of a permanent character would not
only be of great educational value
but the most convenient and effec-
tive way of promoting world trade
also it is felt that such a permanent
exposition could only be established
and permanently conducted by our
national government.
