THE MEETING OF THE
NEWBERRY CONFERENCE

Thursday, March 81 and Friday,
.Auril the Newberry Lutheran Con-
! ference Of the South Carolina Synod
met with historic st. Pauls church,
Rev. S. p. hoon, pastor. The wea-
,!1er was ideal and the hospitality of
pastor and congregation unbounded.
All the ordained ministers Of the
conference were present at least one
day, and with one or two exceptions,
both days. Another pleasant feature
nf TIE conference was the presence of
many lay delegates. The Rev. H. }.
Black, president Of the synod, and
Prof. S. J. Derrick, president of New
berry college, were present Friday,
being standing advisory members OF
the conference, and both were heard
with great interest by the conference
on their respective works. The Rev.
P. E. Shealy, a native of the county,
member of the synod, at present a
member of the Southern conference,
but once member Of the Newberry
conference, delighted the conference
with his presence on Friday and was
made an advisory member Of the con-
ference.
The Rev. ]. B. Harman, president
;of the conference, and all the other
officers were reelected to their re-
spective Offices.
All the topics of the programme
were very practical and timely, and
all ably opened and discussed by the
appointed members of the confer
ence. The sermons, one by the pres
ident, Rev. J. B. Harman, and the
other by the Rev. H. A. Kistler, were
able presentations of the Scriptures,
and interesting and edifying. In fact
both sermons and their topics, as well
as the very atmosphere of the con-
ference reminded us that we are
drifting away from God and His
Word; and hence, an age of crime
and forgetfulness of God and the
Christ, an age destitute, to a great
extent, Of the Holy Ghost, and hence
there is great need of repentance and
turning to God, who is only able to
redeem and save the world, and make
It fit for mans habitation, and a
place preparatory for eternity.
The conference will next meet with
Ma cedonia church in July, embracing
the last Friday, Saturday and Sunday
of the month-a time and place look
ed forward to and anticipated with
great delight by every member of the
conference.

Miss Hamilton hopes to give consider
able time to pushing the organization
of the society among the young worn
en- of the South.
The society had its inception in the
determination of Miss Hamilton and
two of her girl friends not to dance
and in giving each other their pledge.
1t then occurred to them that there
might be other young women who
entertained the same view a; they
did and approximately 100 have
Joined the society already without

Minority Party Membe1 in House

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, April S.-On the eve
of the Democratic caucus, it is indi-
Gated that Representative Peter
! league of Massachusetts, will be
|, elected tomorrow to membership on
the ways and means committee or
Representative Carl Hayden of Okla
homa.
On account of the fact that all
Democratic members of that commit:
tee are Southerners, it has been de-
termined that no Southerner shall Of
fer for the vacancy. Thus exeunt as
candidates Representative Henry B.
Steagall of Alabama and Representa-
tive Fred Dominick of South Carroll
ma. The fight will not only be be-
tween Fastener and Westerner but
between the supporters of the socalled
peanut tariff bill and it's opponents.
The former are grouped behind Hay
den and the latter behind league.
The margin of difference between the
two factions is small. The bitterness
which has long existed AMONG Dem
ocrats because of the split on the
emergency tariff measure, will find
expression in the foregoing scrap ex-
clusively. The peanut tariff men
have withdrawn their opposition to
the reelection of Representative Kit
chin as ranking Democratic member
and minority leader, and the oppon-
ents of the peanut tariff scheme have
withdrawn their opposition to the re-
Election of members of the committee
who would have protected peanuts,
thus Representatives Crisp Of Geor-
gia, Garner of Texas and few 9TH
ers are safe.
The peanut tariff bill, Incidentally,
is ready for reintroduction Monday,
and the Democrats may be asked to-
morrow to pledge themselves as par
ty against its enactment. If two
thirds majority is required for such
pledge, the movement will fail, it is
indicated.
The indications are that RepressI-
tative Dominick, whose name will not
be presented as a candidate for the
ways and means committee, will be
elected TO the committee on interstate
ard foreighn commerce, which, be-
cause of the prominent place that
transportation will have in the ensu-
ing session, is one of the very impor-
tant committees of the house. The
South Carolina delegation, with all
members present, caucused today and
agreed to support Mr.. Dominick. Rep
resentative Byrnes will be reelected
a member of the appropriations COM
mittee.

"Oh no. not by any mensl" said
Uncle Harry laughing. Germany is
not looking Tor any more war, al
though it is possible that the action
OF the German delegates at the re-

led 10 the invasion OF Germany may
possibly cause some trouble within
Germany mong the different factions
OF the German people. But so far
as Germany and her relations with
the outside world are concerned, /

why Did Germany Refuse the
Allies Terms?
well then, II Germany Is anxious
TO avoid war with other countries,
why didn't the German delegates
agree 10 the Allies terms?" asked
Joe.
That is a question that a good
many people have asked" replied
Uncle Harry. Naturally. Germany
does not want TO pay any more than
she can help paying in the way Of

the German delegates to the recent
London Conference. in refusing to
sign the agreement to meet the
Allies claims, were merely blufiing.
Perhaps the officials OF the present
German government think that II
they stick TO their statement that
Germany cannot pay the reparation
demanded OF them, that the Allies
will make easier terms for them.
Then. some people seem to think
that DR.. Simons and the other Ger

The decision OF the Supreme Council

BERRY GROWERS
SEE Big CROP
Unless Late Frosts Injure
Plants, Yield Will be
Biggest in Years
ACREAGE WILL
BE EXTENSIVE

~CRISFIELD. Nd. March 2s.-
Strawberry growers in Somerset
county, discussing the outlook for
this season, are very optimistic. and
say n the present warm weather
continues they look for large crop.
Their only worry is that late frosts
may damage the plants and mater
ally reduce the crop. This fire.
quently happens when the weather
is warm during the early part OF
ifarch.
The acreage under cultivation is
exceptionally large and II conditions
continue to break for the farmers,
they say there is a splendid POSSIBLE
ity for a record yield this year. AL
feady there are many blossoms on
the plants throughout the county.
and with no serious storms or heavy
frosts during the next few weeks.
II is said that picking will probably
begin around April 25. the earliest
IN many years While Strawberries
brought unusual Prices last year,
and the growers profits was enor-
nous, II is thought that last years
market peak will be reached this
ANeenNns AANMNN'Af a BNAA anu hANtAAN
market is predicted by those who
are studying the berry situation.
II is said that the highest price paid
Tor a crate OF strawberries in 1920
was SIS, and that the average the
season through was IS.
The weevii epidemic in 1919,
which destroyed the berry plant,
and caused financial loss to the
growers. has been practically
brought under control.
The berry growers in and around
Marion. which Is in the heart Of the
berry belt. and probably the heaviest
chipping point in the country, havs
taken steps toward the maintenance
OF a standard in Strawberries. which
should prove OF great benefit TO the
industry. A large part OF the
growers are members OF the Marion
Farmers Association, and the asso-
citation has arranged TO require that
every crate Of berries brought TO the
Marion auction block for sale. be
marked with the name OF the grow
81 and packer. This plan has beer
adopted so that each grower will be
responsible for the grade OF berries
ne places on the market.
When good berries go 20 a dealer
y a city market he will give credit
10 the packers name appearing on
the crate, IL Is said. on the other
Hand. II the berries are OF inferior
quality. tho buyer can communicate
ium ediately with the association
and refuse through them to accept
berries from that particular packer
This method will have a tendency Of
making the packer and growers
more careful in their picking and
aelr method OF packing, and insure
for the city merchant a berry Of
superior quality for which he car
stobably demand a higher price, It II
said.
