MUCH COTTON STORED.
More Than ssp,ooo,oOo Worth Now
In State Warehouse System.

More than S30,000,000 worth of cot.
ton is now stored in the warehouses in
the state system" j. Clifton Rivers
warehouse commissioner, said Tues.
day in speaking or the big business the
state system is handling this year.
THE state warehouse system has de.
veloped into one of the biggest busi-
nesses of the country" Mr.. Rivers con-
tinucd. AT present we have more
than 1000 bonded employees and are
operating more than 1000 units OF
warehouses with cotton valued at more
than $4,000, 900.
by calculation made on October Il
it was shown that the value of the cot
ton on storage at that time had In
creased $7,500,O00 since the cotton was
placed in the warehouses. This was
carried at a minimum cost to the peo-
pie who are using the department"
During November the number Of
bales Of cotton stored increased by 49,
S57 over the first day of November
Last year total of approximately
100000 bales were handled by the sys'
TEN.
a great increase in the number o.
the larger warehouses entered into The
state system is shown in the Novem.
ber business. This is attributed to the
fact that the state warehouse receipt:
are being used more extensively in OBJ
tanning loans through the war finance
corporation and other financial agen'
cies, because Of the easy facilities they
afford for such purposes and because
they are approved by the war finance
corporation.

USE FOR WARSHlPS
Some of Those Building Will Serve
for Passenger Carriers.

A plan for converting the hulls OF
battle cruisers now on the stocks into
fast passenger liners was advanced a
few days ago by ]. w. Powell Presi-
dent of the Emergency Fleet Corpora.
tion.
BY converting three of the 'hulls
that would otherwise be towed out to
sess and sunk, Mr.. Powell said. the
American merchant marine would get
a boost it will get in no other way.
Three such liners, rare, in his opinion,
as many as the traffic could support.
Mr.. Powell pcrsenally inspected the
battle cruiser Lexington at Quincy,
Mass, over the weekend, and is con-
vinced that the conversion could be
made with little difficulty. The re-
quilting liner wDuldcbe without peer on
the ocean, he asserted. Sire could
carry about 1000 first class, 1000 Sec
ond class and 1000 stcerage passen-
gers. = - r., 81
The vessels could not possibly be
reconyerted into war vessels, Mr.. Pow
ell declared, because the hulls would
be without arnor protection against
submarines or other attack. Turning
them into fighters again would be
more costly and take longer than
building new battle cruisers, he added
Mr.. Powell believes two Of the other
battle. cruiser huus could be converted
irto aircraft carriers. Under the nav
al limitation programme tie United
States is allowed two such craft OF
about 10000 tons displacement each.

sharp increase. In 1921 the number
of deaths from homicide in the state
was 23O. In 1920 the number Of hon.
isides was 1S7.
, While homicidal and suicidal deaths
showed an increase in 1921, deaths
from automobile accidents showed a
considerable falling off. III 1920 81
persons were killed in automobile ac-
cidents in The state. In 1921, the num-
Der of deaths from automobile acci-
dents was As. Railroad accidents in
1920 claimed the lives Of SO people; in
1921 deaths caused by railroad acci-
dents in. the state numbered a.. 80

Deatrhs from pneumonia showed a
considerable decrease. IN 1920. 1926
persons died from pneumonia in the
state In 1921 the number Of pneu-
inonia deaths was &c. Bronchial
pneumonia claimed S74 victims in
1920; in 1921, the number of victims
Of this disease was 431. =.
tuberculosis took heavy toll among
the negroes in. 1921. Thi' disease is
charged with cau&ing the deaths Of
s44 negroes in 1921 and 326 whites.
Typhoid also claimed MANY VIC
Tins among the negro population of
the state. 1t took the lives of 225 neg
roes during the year and of SIS whites.
Pellagra, which; came in for much at
tentfcn during the first part CT 1921,
is charged with causing the deaths OF
1856 negroes and Is whites. A COM
parison of the number of deaths
caused by tuberculosis, typhoid and
pellagra among whites and negroes
will show that the negroes have proven
the easier victims, even when the diff
ference in numbers of the two races in
the state is taken into consideration.
The figures given above are taken
from the records Of the bureau of vi
tai statistics. They cover the first
ten months of 1921.

The bishop Of London once COM
planned bitterly that he could not make

while he had to live in a palace" with
something like two score bedrooms and
was expected to exercise hospita 'ity on
a somewhat commensurate scale. He

Bill Piercy, New York American
pitcher, and Bob Meuscl, the Yankee
right fielder, were given the same pun
ishment by Commissioner Lands. They
participated in the trip with Ruth.

state, but the trip was called off after
they had been warned that they were

BIRTHS INCREASE
Number of Homieides and Suicides lr
South Carolina Also lncrease.

South Carolina Also lncreaee.
Old Mr.. Stork holds boil weevils
and financial depression and tight
money" in utter seorn, according to
the birth records for South Carolina,
says the Columbia State. If there
ever was a year in the history of the
state when the influence of hard
times" should have mnde itself felt on
birth statistics, 1921 would seem to be
that year, yet the records show that
the state made it's highest birth rate
this year. The birthrate for 1924 was
t2S.S per 1000 population, according to
the records of the bureau of vital sta
tistics, and that rate is the highest the
state has reached since accurate re-
cords of births have been kept.
In 1920, the birthrate was 27.3 per
1000 citizens. This year, however, il
jumped to 2S.3. '.
Not only was the birthrate the high
est made since accurate records have
been kept, but the death record was
lO"cSl. ht uCtLliI ltlIS III lSSi "st<'
lis per 1000 people. In 1920, the
death rate per 1000 peop'e was 141
according to the figures from the, bu-
reau of vital statistics. The official
records SHOW that more people were
born and fewer people died in 1921 than
in any year since the records have
beep ma jt.toiOed
From first glance, it would seem
that socalled hard times have. had no
bad effect on the population, but when
the figures for deaths by suicide are
studied, the other side of the picture
Is seen. The records merely recount
the fact that a certain"numbcr Of peo-
| pie died by their own hand, but be-
behind the cold record may be i'm
agined the worry and distress and
anxiety that have had IL part in bring
Ing about the tragedy. -
For 1921 the records show that 81
! persons died by suicide. In 1920 the
number was 81 for the state.

-BAPTlsTs IN CONVENTION
Annual Meeting Being Held in Green

willie.
That the modern dance Is leading
many to wreckage and ruin, that the
motion picture industry Is not serious
/ ly undertaking it's own reformation
ard its possibilities for good and also
for dire evil are great. that familiarity
between the sexes among people OF all
ages is increasing and that there
seems to be a breaking down of the
finer spiritual sensibilities among the
people which permits of the discussion
of topics freely which would. not have
been<mentioned in society as recently
as six years. s.Iago-statements to this
effect and others regarding public
morals of today were made by the
Rev. r.. C. Cranberry, D. d. of Gaff-
ney, chairman of a committed on So
cial service and public morals, in a
report to the state Baptist convention
here today, says a Greenville dispatch
Of Tuesday. $50
The convention opened its session
this morning and will continue through
Thursday. Adoption Of this report on
public morals, together with e, strong
sermon tonight by the Rev. j. Dean
Grain. featured the three sessions OF
the day. Several hundred Baptists
from all parts of South Carolina are
in attendance.
Dr. Cranberry in his report said that
he and his committeeman are rot pes
simists because they believe in Jesus
Christ, and stressed the fact that
much advancement in the right di-
rection is being made IN the present
social order. Regarding the modern
dance, motion pictures. the laxity of
relationship between the sexes and
other matters, however, he urged that
the time was at hand for the chtrch
to take a hand. ''I know that 1t Is
customary for church. people to quiet
ly 'acquissce In the dance situation"
hc said, but that must change: q,
Prohibition, the committee declared,
Is great success Notwithstanding the
fact that the fight with the liquor
traffic Is not yet finished. Increasing
profanity and improper observance OF
the Sabbath also were discussed. The
convention adopted the report of the
committee. ...s.
At another point of tic convention
l.. z. Campbell of Newberry created
sensation when in the midst OF plea
that laymen give more time to preach
ing, he said, Let the ladies dress as
they please. Wear what you like, God
bless you, let's quit preaching so much
about silk stockings, rouge and leg
shows and preach the gospel Of Jesus
Christ, which will save US from all
Gin"
In his annual address j ]. Lawton
CT IIartsvillo urged the necessity for
faith. hope, religion, work, economy,
and optimism in working to 4 solution
of present world problems. Senator
E. c. Ridsall of Batesburg stated to
the convention that the laymen in the
church are doing moro work today
than ever before. and E. P. Vandiver,
banker of Anderson, delivered an in
teresting address along similar slines.
Regarding the. work of the women
through the Womcn's Missionary I'M
ion Dr.. William I. Ball Of Spartan
burg said that the women are leading
both the Iaynien and the preachers,
6Ed he praised them highly for their
efforts and for the results they are
achieving.

surface indications are very promis. ing. Under the permit the first year must be devoted to the running of lines, marking and placing monuments and such work as will definitely show the boundaries of the claim. The laws relating to oil pesmits are such that there can be no holding of land for an indefinite period without de- velomnent, and the fac. that permits have been applied for and are now being issued under the conditions stated. would indicate. it would appear. an early attempt to prove up the h. terior field will be made.
 To wha. extent the permttees are intending to develop their holdings is not known at this time, but it is rumored that some fthose holding oil claims have only been waiting to receive their permits when capital cl1 be interested to develop the proper ties.
