Thirty-one years ago last November
the Helping Hands" circle OF Kings
Daughters was organized by the Rev.
A. G.. Wardlaw with members. Only
one Of the charter members is in the
circle today, Our text is: Bear We one
anothers burdens" Our work for the
first few years was all local-hclping
TO bear the burdens of the suffering
ones by contributing food, fuel, clothes,
medicine, ice and medical services.
AS our membership increased our
enthusiasm also increased and we be-
gan to respond to calls from our state
and sister states, for earthquake, and
storm sufferers, and the famine suffer-
ers in China. For several years our
Circle helped to support room at the
Riverside Infirmary in Charleston,
contributed to the Florence Crittcndon
Home for Rescue Work and to the Sal
vation Army.
In 1901 through Mrs. Price mis-
sionary, we adopted and educated a
Chinese girl who grew into beauti-
full Christian character. After grad
uating she married Christian doctor
and they taught in some school,
Realizing the Lord had blessed us
in our work and remembering that he
said ut Is more blessed to give than
to receive" we payed tuition for two
other Chinese girls for two years. We
clothed blind colored girl for eight
years who attended the State institu-
tion for the Blind.
In 1910 we donated $3.50 for i'm
provement Of the City Cemetery. When
our county hospital was opened we
pledged $25 per month to support
room. In 1914 we undertook the
training Of two Bible women in China,
this work we still continue. At
county fair we had a booth and dis
tributed 1000 religious papers and
tracts. During the war we did Red
Cross work. We adopted French
orphan for two years. This year we
sent contributions to famine sufferers
in the Near East and China.
For number Of years we have sent
contributions to the Door Of Hope In
Columbia. We remember the Orphan
ages at Christmas time; also send
baskets Of food and fuel to the needy
in our town. We have entertained the
State Convention three times. We
take twenty copies Of the Silver Cross
magazine and will increase subscrip-
tions. At present we have 92 men,
bers, four of them under five years.
We have lost ten by death in tho 81
years.

COTTON EXPORTS
TO BE EXPEDITED
Movement Takes Long Step Forward.
Promise from Meyer.

Atlanta, April 3O.-The movement to
expedite the export OF American cot
ton took a long step forward today in
the opinion Of more than 100 repre-
sentatives, exporters and flnaciers
who discussed the situation with gov
ernment officials and were promised
as great cooperation as possible by
Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director
OF the war finance corporation at
Washington.
For ono thing Mr.. Meyer promised
to recommend to the corporation that
credits be extended on bona fide sales
of cotton to interior points for export,
instead of while 1t is at ports for export
as at present. w. l.. Clayton, a cotton
exporter Of Houston, Texas, in making
a plea for such action, declared it
would render Invaluable aid to ex-
porters."
The proposal that the government
arrange to insure exporters against
loss from wars and revolutions In for
eign countries also was discussed and
a committee was appointed to take up
this and other proposals with govern
ment officials The committee will
meet in Washington May Q for u con
ference with the war finance corpora
ton to develop plan OF action.

LUMBER YARD
In ~ Noon Will Make Yoa a Better Price on the
Same Grade and Service
a, The Story Of Lumber Prices
We are continually asked. What have lumber prices done? What
are they going to do? Is it time to build?
1t is not easy to answer these questions in a few words and have the
public understand the exact situation. ~~~~@s @
We feel it is our business to keep the people thoroughly informed
on everything pertaining to Lumber prices, and W e IRE writing
this with the intention Of giving you the result of our study of the
situation.
~ What Have Prices Done?
LUMBER prices reached the peak last April, sinceEthat time We
have reduced the prices on common lumber seven times: In
April, 2x412 were selling at $50: 90 per thousand feet Today
they are $45: 90 thousand, with 1919 off for cash, or $780, so.
This same reduction holds good on Fir Lumber Of all grades.
Pine Lumber in the finish grades did not advance a rapidly
if pai p Sa as de C @ 'ede f2o ao Ifa96G Ss to $780, %'P's '"o a
SASH, DOORS and MILLWoRK have declined an aver
age of 33H%.
PLASTER has declined about 1919: We expect further declines
CEN has been reduced 800, or 4oc a sack from the
high point.
We find that people do not stop to think what percent reductions
NEAR. Don't forget, in thinking Of reduction, that, if any article
goes up 1000 and is then reduced 500, it is Just where it started,
Remember that the freight advance has been Sc. 90 per thousand on
lumber, and 2x4-12 would be $35 10 cash today if it we're not for
this advance.
What Are Prices Going to Do? .
90% Of the Mills are closed. We believe that lumber prices are
below the cost of production. We feel sure that lumber will be
higher before it is lower. We look for some further reduction in
Glass, although this will amount to very little in the cost of a
complete job.
=A IN Is it Time to Build?
As to Lumber, we say yes. As to Sash, Doors, Milwork and
Cement we feel that if you want a home or need a building you can
not hope to save enough money to pay you to Wait.
Regarding Plumbing, Heating, Hardware and other items of CON
struction. we are not in a position to state, and we recommend
that you. investigate these items before building. ~

LIQUOR CAN'T Be
STOLEN, SRULINC

ATLANTA, Feb. 22.-That whisky
cannot be stolen, and hence that no
person can be prosecuted for stealing
liquor, was a ruling of Judge John
d. HUMPHREYS in the eases Of Lon
Terry and o. NJ. Howell, city detec-
tives, indicted for stealing 81 quarts
of rye whisky from Clarence Hart
The theft charge was mol pressed,
but Perry was placed on trial under
another indictment charging pos
session of liquor.
"a man cannot steal something
which the law has declared is no prop
erty," said Judge HUMPHREYS. "Whis-
ky has been outlawed, declared not
to be property and to be contraband,
1t having no property value, natural
ly is incapable of being stolen and
this court will mol PROSE- the indict-
ment as to liquor. The court viii

charging the theft of the suitcase
because the bill fails to assign any
value to them, giving them a property
