DOWN ON DANCE

The Southern Baptist convention
at it's recent meeting in Chattanooga
gave its following unepuivocal deliv,
erance on the modern dance:
"Another gross and growing evil
must be mentioned. It is the modern
dance. One of the most serious and
menacing by-products of the World
war is the great increase in the
dance evil and the extravagant ex-
tremes to which it has gone. Accom-
panied, as it is, by immodest dress,
by close physical contact Of the sexes
by its lack of restraint it is undoubt-
edly doing much to undermine the
morals of our young people. 1t is
beyond question, that in many cases
it leads to moral wreck and ruin.
The time has come when, from
every pulpit, strong and persistent
protest must be made and wise and
faithful teaching must be given. The
time has come when our churches,
as such, must be take positive posi-
ton against this corrupt and cor
rupting evil. Undoubtedly the par
ents are largely responsible. Your
commission would appeal, with all
possible emphasis, to all our people
especially to the pastors and parents
that this growing menace shall be
checked and abolished.

RAIL WORKERS GET
MORE THAN GOVERNOR

New York Times.
Chicago, June 16.-The Governor
Of Tennessee and other State Off
cials, and college professors, teachers
and judges receive less pay than
many employees on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railroad,
lFitzgerald Hall, counsel for the road
told the Railroad Labor Board today
in the second wage hearing before
that body.
Mr.. Hall, who followed represen-
tatives of many trunk lines who had
asked that the $6OO,O0O,OOO wage
award of 1920 be wiped out, pre-
sented set OF figures in support of
his statement which drew immediate
attention from all over the crowded
chamber. The Nashville Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad is 1900
mile railroad, composed mostly of
branches.
''The engineer on the Tullahoma
accommodation receive s4,371.92,
or S371.92 more than the Governor
Of Tennessee" Mr.. Hall said, turn
ing to former Governor Hooper, of
Tennessee, public member of the
board, and adding, you know that's
true, Governor"
presbyterian ministers, paid ST.
600 annually, get less than one-half
Of the wage of yard,nasters and pas
senger engineers" Mr.. Hall continu-
ed. High school principals in Nash
vile get $3.50 a NORTH, compared to
yardmasters receiving s3O5. High
school teachers at Paducah, KY, and
Chattanooga, Tenn, receive $125 to
s14s a month; while blacksmiths get
s1S5.51 and switchmen s1SS.56.
''Full professors at Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, get $3.50 a
year. At the University of Tennessee
they get S2,64s and at Georgia
Tech, $4,000. Why, the conductor on
our Rome branch, eighteen miles
long, gets s5,735.s8 a year, and the
baggage men get more than assistant
professors and instructors.
"The engineer on the Rome
branch gets s5,997 and the Superior
Court judges of Tennessee get $5,-
500, while the negro flagman and
porter on the Columbia-D Decherd
branch get $3,146 OF $146 more

HOME GROWN PRODUCTS
EQUAL OF THOSE SHIPPED

Clemson College, June 16.-The
awful slump in cotton prices has
caused many cotton growers to look
for other types Of agriculture to take
the place partly of cotton, and a
number of these farmers have turn
ed to dairying. There is probably no
other line of farming which will flt
in so we'll with cotton growing says
M. R.. Tolstrup, associate professor
of dairying. In fact, many people
contend that it would be possible to
replace 1-3 of the cotton acre
age with dairy farming and still pro-
duce practically as much cotton as
formerly, since the dairy industry
would improve the physical and
chemical condition of the soil to such
extent that the increased yield
would counter balance the reduction
in acreage.
South Carolina does not produce
dairy products in sufficient quantity
to take care of it's own needs, yet
there are certain times OF the year
when there is a considerable surplus
of milk especially, which can not be
profitably disposed Of. This condl-
ton really need not exist and could
easily be overcome if everybody
would adopt the slogan: "Use South
Carolina dairy products in South
Carolina"
Some people have the erroneous
idea that they must "cross the river
to get water" and some people
think they can get better and cheap
er dairy products outside of their
own state. Such reasoning is wrong
In the first place South Carolina can
and does produce as good quality OF
milk as any other state in the Union,
although at preset she can not pro-
duce it in quite as large quantities.
In the second place although some
other states may produce milk 1T
tie cheaper than we can' when
transportation charges and the prof.
its of the several middlemen are add
ed to the price Of the ou1-of-state
proucts, we can get our own dairy
products, we can get our own dairy
other states, and the home product
is in fresher condition.
We should therefore improve our
opportunities in production and
manufacturing, so that we may COM
pete favorably with other states.
And just now we are - progressing
with rapid strides in that respect.
Our next step is to improve the mar
keting conditions for the home pro-
ducts of the dairy farm. In this
matter we have been behind but
there are signs of Improvement.
Dairymen are getting together slow
" but surely and will see to it that
through cooperation their products
will be assembled in large enough
quantities to insure economic manu-
featuring of the highest quality pro-
duct. Then will come proper and
efficient facilities for distribution.
. Meanwhile let us boost for our
South Carolina dairy products, use
them in greater quantities, and buy
from the outside only when we can
not get enough at home. When all Of
this is done, we shall have added to
Che health, wealth and happiness Of
the population of South Carolina.

The Port Authority gave the closest
