"Cotton experts are agreed that the
cotton in public store in the United
States is nearly all Of grades below
those most desired by domestic mills. ;"
Declaring that the problem for the
American producers and holders of
cotton was to find a way to offer large
assorted stocks of cotton to offer Ger
man spinners and at the same time
be secured for the value of their
property. Mr.. Thompson said that
warehouses and exchange facilities
in Rotterdam, Holland, now were
available for handling such trade.
"Several strong trading companies
in Rotterdam are in a position to ham
die and finance cotton in Germany as
fast as they can consume it," he said.
MATTERS can be so arranged with
them that American bankers can fl
nance the cotton in any amount into
safe warehouses in Holland, and the
Hollanders can arrange their own
credits for delivery to German spin
ners in lots to suit their weekly or
monthly requirements.
"Owing to great labor troubles at
the moment, it would be hard to start
up spinning in full capacity, even if
the cotton were on the spot. But it is
estimated that within few months
after cotton begins to arrive the mills
could use 100000 bales a month"
Danish traders are also willing, Mr..
Thompson reported, to resume hand
ling cotton into Russia and would al
so stand willing to join in supplying
Germany.

s,gcutive; Il, Committee Selected.

aesaaay morning M Il "A. Protz-
man, director of organization of the
American Cotton Association, came
to Edgefeld to confer with citizens
looking to the selection of an execu-
tive committee for Edgefield county
whose duty it shall be to organize
every school district in the county.
"A few representative citizens gather
ed in the Court House, as many as
could be notified, to hear Mr.. Protz-
man present the work of the organi-
zation. j. L. Minis was requested to
act as chairman. A committee consist
ing of Mr.. W. A. Strom, MIR. w. H.
Harling and Mr.. A. c. Yonce was ap-
pointed to recommend 10 representa-
tive men to serve as members of the
county executive committee, the sug-
gestion of Mr. Strom, to the effect
that every section of the county be
represented, being adopted. The COM
mittee recommended that A. E. Pad
gett, B. B. Jones, j. VIM. Thurmond,
S. A. Brunson, A. C. Yonce, B. R.
Tillman, w. NJ. Sawyer, S T. Will
liams and C. M. Williams and these
gentlemen were selected through the
adoption of the report. Mr.. w. A.
Strom's name was afterward added
by a unanimous vote of all present,
as he is probably better informed as
to the work of the association than
any other man in the county, having
attended cotton conferences in New
Orleans and Columbia. Mr.. Strcm
will call a meeting of the committee
Saturday at Edgefield.

Filled Baptist Pulpit.

Rev. w. M. Whitesides, superinten-
dent of the Baptist Hospital in Co.
lumbia, came over at the reques #
DR.. r. G.. Lee and filled the Ba. list
pulpit Sunday morning and evening,
preaching two very instructive and
inspiring sermons. Mr.. Whitesides is
a native of North Carolina but has
been laboring in this State for sixteen
years. He was pastor of the Green
Street Baptist church in Spartanburg
for nine years and later served about
six years with the State missionary
board, devoting his time chiefly to
the mill work in the State. Last De-
cember he accepted the superinten-
.dency of The. Hospital in Columbia,
and is making wonderful success
of that institution. Sunday evening
he made brief statement before the
sermon concerning the hospital.
Practically all of the time the insti-
tuition is crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, the halls and all other availa-
BILE space being filled with cots. He
stated that in addition to meeting the
current expenses of the institution he
recently paid off a note of $1,000 and
will in August be able to pay another
note of like amount.
Mr.. Whitesides referred to the
training school for nurses which is be
ing conducted in connection with the
hospital, pointing out the thorough
ness of the course of three years and
of the high standard that is being
maintained. Under the curriculum
that has been recently adopted, Mr..
Whitesides stated that no other insti-
tuition in the South is doing the same
class of work. Soon a social service
department will be added, so as to
equip young women for social service
work in cities, rural districts and for
boards Of health. The Baptist Hospit-
al deserves the loyal support of the
denomination. 1t is doing a great
work, even larger in scope than was
contemplated when the institution
was founded. After several conversa-
tions with Mr.. Whitesides concerning
practically every phase of the insti-
tuition and its management, the writer
is convinced that the board of trus-
tees made no mistake when they cleo

Higher Power.

GOT NEW IDEA OF RELIGION
Colonel Roosevelt Admitted He Had
Taken to Heart the Simple Faith
of the Doughboy.

Colonel Roosevelt was deeply re
ligious man, and one evening at Oyster
Bay he said to an editor:
How this world war has clarified
our ideasl 1t has clarified my own
ideas about religion.
Before the war l was inclined to
agree with the philosopher who said:
"'Religion is the experience consti-
tuted by those thoughts. feelings and
actions which spring from mans sense
of dependence upon power or powers
controlling the universe, and which
have as their center of interest the
cosmic fortune of values
But how different is the definition
OF religion that the doughboy has flung
us from the trenches, and how heartily
is our agreement when he says:

Commanding officers of ships and

the number OF applicants exceeded
