Can And Will The Baptist Do Il?

The answer is an unquallhed YES.
And this answer is given because tne
undertaking had it's beginning In the
denominational heart and conscience.
The campaign was ordered by the
unanimous vote of nearly five thousand
messengers in attendance upon the
Southern Baptist Convention at At
lanta last May 1t was the expressed
will of Southern Baptists that the
money should be raised, and southern
Baptists have ability to match tnelr
will In answer to the query can
the Baptists raise $75,000,00O." DR.. +.
Y Mullins, President of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, says:
"It is my strong conviction that we
are able to do it. My reasons are
that in numbers, in wealth. in enthu-
siasm. and in the conviction of our
people we are abundantly able to do
II Hon. E. w. Stevens, formerly
President of the Southern Baptist
|Conyention, answers: Most assuredly
we can raise it. The South was never
so prosperous, nor were it's people ever
so full of hope and enthusiasm" Dr.
George w. Mcdaniel, pastor OF the
First Baptist Church, Richmond, va
saws: Three million white Baptlsts,
enioying prosperity and living in

Baptist Seventy-Five-M Million
C.aubaion.

The Baptists of South Carolina are
definitely cooperating with the
Baptists of the South in great drive
for subscriptions for Missions, Edu-
cation, and General Benevolence, In
the sum of S75,000,000, to be raised on
a five-year plan during the eight DAYS
beginning November 30th and endlng
December 7th. South Carolina Bap-
lists have accepted as their quota In
the great drive the sum OF S5,5OO,o ,o0o.
This constitutes the largest undertak-
ing ever assumed by the denomination
in South Carolina and in the South,
but by no means too large for them to
raise with comparative ease. 1t only
requires the general enlistment OF all
the membership. This will be done
during the next four months through
an organization, which is belng per-
fected. that will reach every member
in every church throughout the state
and the South. An every-memper
canvass of every church in the Soutn
will reveal their willingness to DO
big thing and their ability to DO lar
beyond anything that has been imagln-
ed in all the past. The Baptlsts are
so numerous that no individual Will pe
called upon to do more than he has
the ability to do, yet all will do more
than they have ever done.
The big campaign was opened 1or
South Carolina in Columbia Tuesday,
July 22nd, when there were assembled
with the general organizers, the asso-
ciational organizers and publicity from
every part of the State. With but few
RECEPTIONS every association was we'll
Represented. The leaders of the Wo-
mems Missionary Societies were there
in full force and are actively parti-
cipating in the campaign. The Bap--
| tist women Of the South have agreed
to raise one-fifth of the entire sum, or
SIS, 100000. The men and women who
came together in Columbia, exhibited
an intelligent grasp upon the great
ness, the worthiness, and the necessity
of the undertaking, and these qualities
were matched by a burning enthus-
iasm to put the job over at whatso--
ever cost and in a truly great and
worthy manner.
The headquarters of the campaign
| in South Carolina are located at
lGreenville, with Drs. w. T. Derieux
and Chas. A. Jones, General Directors,

eral Palmer to recommend steps to re-
duce living costs, are engaged in an
exchange Of memoranda bearing on
the problem. The impression is out
that the committee has agreed that
steps can be taken by congress
which will alleviate the situation
at once, but it was said at Mr.. Hines
office that nothing final had been de-
cided upon. The committee has been
instructed particularly to deal with
profiteering and to suggest how law
enforcement agencies should proceed
to bring to justice men guilty of ex-
tortion through unreasonable prices.
|If any recommendation is made to
congress, 1t is believed most likely
that it will deal with sale Of the wheat
crop at market prices and the absorp-
tion by the government Of the loss be-
tween that price and s2.26 guaranteed
the farmer. Many officials have indi-
Gated that this Is the most practicable
step which would be taken and the
one most likely to have an immediate
effect. Congress is discussing the
living question and at the White House
President Wilson is said to be receiv-
ing full reports on all phases of 1t.
The senate has adopted a resolution
asking the banking committee whether
reduction of the currency imitation
would help the situation.

: The Shantuns Situation.--A settle
ment of the Shantung issue in way
satisfactory to the contending partles
is likely in the near future, according
to advices of the London Times. The
Toxic government is soon to open
negotiations with Peking. Meanwhile
the Japanese minister in Peking is ar
ranging terms while the charge daft
faires at Washington is sounding
American opinion.
Extreme American views are regu-
larly transmitted to the Toxic press
and while the papers here have not
hesitated to retort in equal spirit, i'm
pairment of American friendship is
the last thing desired in Toxic, which
wants every effect at conciliation.
That the Japanese colonies in China
are not pleased with the compromis-
ing spirit is evident in Toxic and a
meeting of citizens of Tsintan Will
urge the government to remain firm
and not make any display Of weak
ness.

Senator Dial comments.-Senato
Dial, on being asked by the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Columbia
State, If he cared to comment upon
the reported declaration Of Former
Governor Blease, that the ex-governor
would not enter the Democratic pri-
mary but would be q candidate in the
general election for the Seventh dis
trict congressional seat vacated by the
appointment Of A. F. Lever to the
farm loan board, said: II am not
surprised that man who was disloyal
to his country in time Of war would
desert his party in time Of peace. This
Is no time for people who love their
state and country to be agitating suf-
frage and race questions. Matters OF
greater moment deserve the best
thought Of all people and a special
responsibility rests on those who lay
claim to leadership. Blease has here
tofore succeeded in deluding or mis-
leading a large number Of good men,
but now that he stands self revealed In
his true light, / am satisfied his fo-
lowers will be but few. The people
spoke last summer. They will speak
still more plainly in the near future"

The Chicago race riots having ap-
parently subsided Friday, it was an
nounced that on Monday $4,000 negro
stockyard laborers would return to
work. During the night, however, six
blocks Of buildings inhabited largely
by foreigners, were burned to the
ground, and the decision to return the
negroes to work was reversed. The ne
groes are charged with responsibility
for the fires. People who were burn
ed out have gone into camp on the
nearby prairie. Troops are on guard.
The rioting between the whites and
negroes is said to have been started
by the stoning to death Of negro
who encroached on the white reserVa-
ton at q bathing beach. After thor
ough examination the coroner reports
that the negro was not stoned; but was
simply drowned. There were no marks
on his body. Governor Lowden OF III
nois, is of opinion that labor troubles
instead of racial animosity are at the
bottom Of the riots. The sentiment OF
most influential leaders of Chicago Is
crystalizing along the line that 1t was
a bad mistake to undertake the WORK
ing of negroes and foreigners togeth-
er. and plans are now being considered
to send the negroes back to the south

The house of representatives has
passed a bill amending the banking
laws in two particulars so as to facl-
litate the carrying of cotton and other
nom n-perishable marketable staples to
more liberal extent than has hereto
fore prevailed. Representative Steven
son, of South Carolina, a member or
the banking and currency commlttee,
introduced bills looking to this end, IN
consequence Of requests from the
South Carolina Cotton association.
The result of the agitation was that
the banking and currency committee
reported a bill, which provides tnas
drafts and bills of exchange secured
by shipping documents conveying or
securing title tu goods shipped and
including demand obligations when
secured by documents covering COM
modities in actual process OF ship
nent. and also including bankers ac-
ceptances of the kind described IN
section 13 Of the federal reserve act
shall not be considered as money
borrowed and shall not be subject
to the provision that, no one person
could borrow over 10 per cent. OF the
banks capital and surplus. Under rui-
ing by the comptroller in 1917. 1t was
held that If such drafts were held py
the bank for more than reasonable
time, awaiting the arrival of the cot
ton or other merchandise, they pc
came promissory notes and sublect
to- this 10 per cent. provision. IN
der the present method Of hand
ling cotton, this ruling tied up the
banker and shipper Of cotton ana
hampered the dealing in 1t very in
iuriously. The bill now makes 1t ap-
solutely sure that as long as the goods
are in shipment and the draft and Dill
of lading are held together, the lO
per cent. limit does not apply. In
addition to that the bill amends
the law so that farmer or merchant
may borrow on notes secured by snip
ping documents, warehouse recelpIs,
compress receipts, ETC., as much as 70
per cent. Of the capital OF the pank
providing the warehouse receipts Sc
curing the note are worth 10 per cent
above the amount Of the notes. In
other words, with q warehouse receipt
for cotton for $4,000, man can
borrow $4,000 and he can do enough
of this to take up 25 per. cent. OF
the banks capital and surplus instead
of 10 per cent. as now allowed. MT.
Stevenson was the mover OF a favor-
able report on these amendments In
the committee, and although the com
mittee Is 13 Republican and elght
Democrats, all but one member OF the
voted for the favorable re,
port and the house passed the bill
refusing to recommit by majority
of 240 votes against Az.

= Railway shopmen to the number of
100000 are voting on the question OF
a strike for wages in closer keeping
with the cost of living. Because OF
the questions raised by the threatened
strike, President Wilson asked con-
gress to forego it's proposed recess and
consider the questions first OF allow
ing an increase in railroad rates to
meet the demands of railway workers
for increased wages, and second, to
take action looking to the reducing OF
the cost of living. The shopmen, not
withstanding this proposal, went on
with its strike proposition. The strike
was commenced in Atlanta, Chicago
and other points Saturday, and on Sat
urday night it was claimed that more
than 250, 1000 shopmen were idle. The
men are demanding pay at the rate OF
S5 cents an hour for machinists and
60 cents an hour for helpers, the new
schedule to be retroactive back to jan
uary /, last. The strike is spreading
rapidly and promises to become gen.
orally effective. Unless an adjustment
is reached within the next few days,
railroad traffic will be tied up through
out the whole country.

international Labor Conference.-So
that the first meeting OF the interna-
tional labor conference created by the
Versailles treaty may be held In
Washington next october regardless Oh
whether the treaty is ratified, the
senate has unanimously adopted a
Joint resolution authorizing the presl-
dent to call such meeting but giving
no authority for American representa-
ton unless and until the treatys
ratification has been accompanied.
The action was taken after Secre-
tary Wilson, of the labor department
had told the foreign relations commit
tee that. even If the treaty were re-
iected here, its acceptancy by other
powers would validate the request II
contains that the president call the
first conference to meet here In Oc-
tober.
In committee the resolution, intro
duced by Senator Kenyon, Republican,
Iowa, was stripped of all reference to
the fact that the conference was Gre
ated under the treaty, the authorlza-
tion as finally framed merely refer
ring to IAN international labor confer
ence." Unanimous consent for con-
sideration Of the measure in the sem
ate was secured only after Chairman
Lodge had assured treaty opponents
that action in the matter could have
mo effect whatever" toward giving
assent to the treaty.
Action on the resolution by the
house Is necessary before the presl-
