PRICE FIXING FOR
RAW FERTILIZER

Washington, D. c., Oct. 16.-Re-
ports have reached the United States
department of agriculture lndlcat-
ing that statements have been cir
culated to the effect that the depart
ment has fixed prices for raw fer
tilizer material pursuant to con-
ference held with the producers
of such materials at Washington,
on October, 6and z. The department
announced today not only that it
has not fixed any prices as report
ed, but that, after due consideration
it has reached the conclusion that
in the circumstances, it would not
be warranted at the present time
in naming a fair profit for such raw
fertilizer mateials as sulphate of
amonia, dried blood, tankage, fish
scrap, and cottonssed meal. The de-
partment however, will continue
fully to exercise its own powers und-
er the licensing system against prof
iteering as we'll as in conjuction
with the department of justice. The
amendments to the Control Act now
pending in Congress carries a provis-
ion to the effect that any one who
violates the Act by profiteering or
| otherwise shall, upon conviction,
be fined not exceeding $4,000 or be
| imprisoned for not more than two
years, or both, Any act Of profiteer-
| ing under the law or any other vio-
lation of the law, may be prosecuted
| criminally after the licensing pro
| visions thereof are terminated by {
| formal proclamation of peace.

European mission, DIR. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur-
pose Of the commission:
when the call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in Eu-
rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which brave men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity Of the New Testa'
ment. Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such q challenge and such
responsibility.
"Of course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message Of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge Of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be

ones to hear as p1 each if we decline
to practice the gospel of compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the COM
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But il
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists have mo-
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make COM
plete success Of the Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign. 1 would therefore, as
M parting word to my brothers and
sisters OF the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion

Improvements at Pocalla.

Win the coming Of real summer
weat1.ar the season at Pocalla has
opened in full blast and the crowds
that visit this pleasure, resort every
afternoon and evening are ALREADY
as great as at the height OF the sea
son last year Those who visit Po-
Gala find that during the winter Mr.
Beck took advantage Of the opportun-
ity when he was not crowded and
busy taking cape of his patrons to
make many Improvements that add
to the attraetiveness of the place.
The lake~has. been deepened by
the erection of concrete wall entirely
encircling it. so that danger OF the
dam breaking again has been almost
entirely eliminated. Concrete retain
ing walls have also been erected
around the terraces that overlook the
lake and new walks have been laid
out The number of bath houses has
been more than doubled. with a row
Of private bath houses on the north
side of the lake which have been rent
ed to the holders of season tickets.
The greatest of all the improve
ments has been the installation of an
electric lighting plant of three hun
dred lights capacity. The plant is suf-
ficient to brilliantly illuminate the
dance hall and the picnic grounds on
the brow Of the hill and To give ample
lights for the lake and all the bath
houses, SO that bathing at night will
be as safe and delightful as in the
afternoon. In the dance hall large
and fine electric piano has beer
place and dancers can nave the
latest music at all hours of the day,
and until a reasonable hour at night
on Sunday.
Year by year Mr.. Beck has develop
ed the natural beauties and attrac-
tions until it is now one of the most
delightful places Of healthful recrea
tion in this section of the State, bu,
as much as he has done his plans
have not been completed, for he has
many other Improvements in view tha
he will make as soon as it is, practi-
cable to do SO. In the mean time the
people OF Sumter have the opporttn-
ity Of spending many hours at "a pleas
nre resort al their own doors that ha:
advantages over majority of place:
Th@v have been accustomed to ''gt
away in the Summer to visit Sum
ter people can take their summer va
cation at home and have a better tim,
at less expense then when they go t
the mountains or SeaShore.

Something About Dr.. Wright.

The Sumter Daily Item:
1 have been asked to say somethine
regarding Dr.. Frank Hall Wright who
on Sunday, June, IS, will begin Sc
ries of evanselistic meetings in the
Presbyterian Church of our city. II
gives me real pleasure TO comply with
this request. About fourteen years
ago this coming September | became
pastor Of the ptlst church OF Win
chester. KY. While there DR.. Wright
conducted series Of meetings in the
Presbyterian church of that city The
meetings lasted for three weeks.
There We're two services held each
day. One Of these in the afternoon
and the other in the evening. AS
we'll as / can remember Dr. Wright
IS a man OF medium height. AT the
time l knew him his hair and mus
tache We're black. He wore glasses
He IS a half Indian. Somebody twit-
ted him once about having 10 use
glasses and also having some trouble
with his teeth. He replied: That is
the white bloood in me. That how
ever regarding Dr. Wright in which
we are now most interested is as a
man and preacher. He is a fine Chris
tian gentleman. He is u good preach
er. He is not at all sensational He
relies upon the word OF God and the
Holy Spirit for the effectiveness Of his
message. IN the early part Of the
meeting he directs his messages large
ly, almost entirely to Christians
church members. II YOU hear him
and you are at all IN doubt as 10 Your
spiritual condition you are likely to
be made 20 feel Very uncomfortable.
After preaching for some time, along
the line indicated above he presents
the wonderful plan OF salvation with
simplicity. clearness and force. One
Of the chief charms about DR. Wright
both as a man and evangelist. is his
wonderfully sweet voice. l have
heard few sweeter tenor voices than
he has. Every time / heard him he
concluded each sermon with an ap-
propritae song. Although it has been
a long time since ! saw and heard
him some Of the songs he sang With
such marvellous sweetness and Won
dcI1ui c1CttlNChNS'N iiisoN "4NAA -
still. | remember meeting for men
one Sunday afternoono. He sang
song called My Mothers Hands.
There were few dry eyes in that
church that afternoon. There are
other songs which I heard him sing
that could mention. but 1 think L
have said enugh. No Christian in
Sumter, either for his own sake or
the interest he has in the salvation
of the unsaved. can afford TO miss
hearing him. Dr.. Wright is a deeply
spiritual man. He practices what he
preac cheS. Behind his message is
man yielded to God. If the Chris
tan people Of Sumter. regardless OF
denomination. will get this man and
his meeting on their hearts; il they
will hold him up by their prayers.
the entire community shall be blest.
| hope that the pastor Of the Pres
byterian church will feel free to call
on me and my people for any service
we may be able to render.
