BAPTIST CONVENTION
TO MEET EARLIER

Greenville, Aug. 9.-On account
of the fact that the Baptist campaign
to raise rs million dollars in the
South, and five and half millionS
in South Carolina, will take place
Nov. 80 to Dec. Z, the South Caro-
lima State Baptist convention will
hold it's annual meeting about a
month earlier than the date formerly
announced for the 1919 seGs:on.
At recent Meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the convention,
decision was taken 20 mold the 1919
convention or Nov. 10, instead CT
later, in December This convention
will meet at the First Baptist church
in Columbia. S. C. While a great
deal of the organization and prepar-
alton for the great campaign will
have been completed by that time,
the Forthcoming drive will be one of
the foremost subjects before the
Baptists of the State at this annual
convention, and the sessions are ex>'
pected to give a. tremendous stim-
ulus to the 8-day money-raising
drives. c. B. Bobo, Of Laurens, a
priminent South Carolina Baptist, is
president of the convention.
y On account of the change in date
of the convention, the books of all
the convention boards will close on
October 80 this year a month earlier
than formerly. All of the associations
of the State must hold their annual
meetings prior to this date. This
will necessitate a change in the
dates of some associational meetings
which have been set for November.
The Baptist women Of the State
will play an important part in the
Forthcoming campaign. Mr.. J. R.
Fizer, Of Columbia, who is State or
ganizer for the Woman's Missionary
Union, and Mrs. J. D. Chapman, of
Townsville, president of the State
w. NJ. U. and Vice-president Tor
South Carolina in the w. NJ. U. of
the Southern Baptist convention, are
members of the campaign council for
the Baptist rs million campaign.

RESULT OF THE ALFALFA
CLOVER CAMPAIGN
Campaign Conducted During Thurs
day and Friday by County Agent
Mills Very Successful.

The alfalfa-clover campaign dur
ing Thursday and Friday, conducted
by County Agent T. M. Mills with
the assistance of Mr.. A. A. Nc
Keown, district agent Of Rock Hill,
S. c., was very successful. Thirty
men agreed to SOW alfalfa this fall
and agreed to purchase their seed
comparatively through the Rock Hill
Alfalfa association which has been
very successful in getting good, pure
seed.
Orders were also taken for ITS
tons ground lime rock to be shipped
comparatively and delivered to the
farmers, most of which will be used
on land preparatory to sowing al
falfa.
Alfalfa is one of the very best of
the legume crops, both for hay and
gazing and with the proper prepar-
sicn aad fertilization of the soil
il can be successfully grown in
Newberry county.
We are glad to see that the farm
ers are making start TO grow some
si4alfa.
If others wish to join in this CO.
c~eratt::ve shipment of seed and
ground lime rock they will please
rott:;fy County Agent T. NJ. Mills
within the next few days.
The following is the LIST Of the
farmers who had agreed to go into
tie Alfalfa growing under the plan
outlined up to Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Mills will not be able to take on
many more. These will plant about
an acre on the average, some plant
ing only half an acre and some
more, but the plan is to have each
one plant at least one acre. This is
another one of the many good things
being done by Mr.. Mills to help the
farmer.

SHORT CAMPAIGN
FOR STATE MEMORIAL

Columia, Aug. 10.-On Septem-
ber 29th last year, South Carolina
troops in the immortal Thirtieth
(Old Hickory Division smashed the
heretofore impregnable Hindenberg
line and hastened that which be-
came inevitable when the United
States entered the war against
Germany. On November 18th
the arnistice was signed. This
year, on September 29th, first ami
versary Of the smashing of the Hin
denburg line, the campaign to raise
a fund to erect memorial to South
Carolina soldiers and sailors who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
Great War for human liberty and
for the preservation Of civilization
will open. 1t will close on November
18th, first anniversary of the sign
ing OF, the armistice.
These dates with their signifi
canoe for all Americans, and the
first with particular significance for
the people Of this State, were decid-
ed upon by the South Carolina Me-
mortal Commission, meeting in Co.
lumbia July 3Oth. The fund to be
raised is 100000, to which will be
added 100000 appropriated by the
legislature at the last session, max
ing half a million dollars for fit
ting memorial to South Cardinals
hero sons.
At the meeting of the memorial
commission a petition from a num-
Der of physicians, asking that the
plans for the form the memorial
shall take, was changed and that
instead of a temple hospital be
built, was received and carefully
considered, but since the statute un-
der which the commission was Gre
ated and which appropriates $100,
900 toward the memorial, the COM
was powerless to alter the
plans as previously announced. 1t
was decided to proceed with tie cam
paign for funds according to the
original plan.
The work of organization is now
proceeding. The campaign will be
conducted along the lines of the sew
eral Liberty Loan drives. Chair
men will be appointed in each coun-
ty. These will be asked to complete
their county organizations of work
ers in time for the opening of the
campaign. The quotas of the sew
eral counties will be announced in
the near future.

MINERS ARE AFTER
BETHLEHENS7
President Keeney Sends
Wires to Dept. of JUS
tice Asking Decision.

Following the alleged effort of tina
Bethlehem Steel Corporation TO have
the miners renounce. their uni0n at tho
operation they recently purchased in
Monongalia and Preston counties, c.
F. Keeney, Charleston, president o!
District II, United Mine Workers, to-
day wired the United States Depart
ment of Justice AID President Vii,
sons commiss On investigating mine
conditions. Both we're asked for a
decision and fICM what can be gath.
cred the affair is at a standstill until
this decision is received.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation
some months ago acquired the coal
holdings of the Elkins Coal and Coke
company at Bretz, Masontown and 9TH
er points in Monongalia- and Preston
counties and several weeks ago post
ed notices to the effect that the mines
would be worked on the open shop"
plan. 1t was learned today that 175
miners out of the 1890 to 1000 min
ers were locked out and the miners
appear sore over the transaction and
the probabilities are that the greater
number will cease work.
Union officials claim that the min
ers were practically forced to re-
nounce their union or cease work and
that it in effect corresponds to a
lockout" They claim that the steel
corporation has failed to live up to
the mandates OF the government in
that it failed to respect the existing
contract with the United Mine Work
ers. AS this labor disturbance CORE
spends to lockout district II will
finance the miners who have been so
affected.
President Keeney and brace Of or
GAMERS were in the Easontown sec
tion on Tuesday and they say tltay
cautioned the men not to ask any OF
the coal miners to stop work, which
would be contrary to the Injunction
proceedings instituted in lndlanapo-
lis.
