hundred acres of boil weevils.

The reason the newspaper grave

out that in 1907 wages were at 100.
In 1914 they had advanced to 178,
and in 1921, the figure was 393.
Newsprint from 100 jumped to 1T in
1914. and to 623 in 1920. Newspaper

100 in 1917, was lat in 1914, and
337 in 1921. Ink was 100 in 1907, 200
in 1914, and today stands at 331.
Editorial expense advanced from
100 in 1907 to 120 in 1914, and z41
in 1921. Miscellaneous expenses
went from 100 in 1907 to 125 in

can be marketed, ought to be the
occasion for too great and genuine
thanksgiving to lug in any unpleas-
ant subject. but nevertheless the fol-
lowing from The Union Times con-
tains so much truth and is so per-
tinent that at the risk of being dub
bed a joy-killer we reproduce it,,
and here it is: "The danger in the
present and prospective high prices
for cotton lies in the fact that many
farmers who, under depressed prices
had determined to plant but a small
acreage will decide to plant every hill
possible next year. The lure OF high
prices will be the downfall Of the
farmer. This for two reasons: The
high prices will cause q large acreage
to be planted. The boil weevil will
get in his best work when the acre
age Is large. This year should be an
enduring lesson to the farmer. A
seven million bale crop is worth more
to the farmer than a crop of sixteen
million bales"

Atlanta, Ca. Sept. 10--A new dis
ease has been discovered, according
to Atlanta automobile men. Strangely
enough it Is not one whose cure de-
pends upon the use Of alcoholic bever-
ages. 1t is motor foot" and con-
sists of displacement of the meta
tarsel bones of the right foot due to
continued pressure upon the accelera-
tor of a motor car. 1t is said to be
very painful.
The worst thing about this stylish
trouble is that it makes walking hurt
and interferes even more with golf,
tennis and other active vacation
sports. leaving the poor victim de-
licately poised on his good foot be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
sea, with no way to amuse himself
except by sitting in chair or walk
ing on his hands.
OF course there will be mean
souls to ask. "Why step on the accel-
orator so often? Why try to pass all
the other cars on the road?"

were the bones separated at the wrists
nor were any of the bones decayed.
Parts of the lining OF the walnut cof-

"A strange fact remains to be told.
The root of tree had made its way
down on one side of his coffin bed
passed around his feet, and up on the
other side, and then twining about
his head, as though intended to hold
the precious remains together.
Beyond all question, here is the
stamp of Gods approval on the gos-
pei ministry of one who surrendered
the office of teacher for that of win
ming souls to Christ. God, who knows
the end from the beginning, watches
over his remains over one hundred
years, and now suffers the silent voice

Bsv. s. 4. Hallman Tells Unusual
Story.

Story.
Rev. DR.. s. T. Hallman told a re-
porter Of The Spartanburg Herald a
very wonderful story relative to the
exhumation OF the body of a preach
er after it had been in the grave over
100 years. The facts were supplied
him by people who were thoroughly
conversant with then and whom he
served as preacher twenty years ago.
They are persons of unimpeachable
veracity. Here is the remarkable mar
rative in DR.. Hallman's own words:
''As far back as 1850 there were a
few German Lutheran churches in
this state, among which was the old
st. Johns Lutheran church in New
berry couny. The land on which the
building stood was held under grant
from George III, King of England
"These immigrants who had come
here to escape the religious persecu-
ton of the old country found it very
difficult to get pastors from their
Fatherland. There was then in the
community of ST Johns church a
German school teacher by the name
OF Frederick Joseph Wallern a
learned man, but not then an ords.in-
ed preacher. This the writer was told
by the very old people of that section
when, years ago, he was pastor there.
''The people, in their hunger for
the preached word and for the sacra-
ment Of the church, naturally turned
to their scholarly teacher and plead
with him to fill that sacred office. He
finally consented and became pastor
of that church! History has not re-
corded the duration of his pastoral
labors but he died in 1916, and had
begun his services there sometime in
1887. He was buried in wooded Sec
tion near his home There his body

years, suitably inscribed stone mar

"Then the pastor of st. Paul's

OI DelnS lOSL because OF personal
and official jealousies and squab-
bling" This was manifestly an error
inasmuch as the route through Dillon
would have been just as impossible
as the route through Marion, In the
absence of the bridge. The committee
decided that it were better to develop
the route via Cheraw where there is
already a bridge until the question Of
a site for the bridge over tthe Pee Dee
river between Marion and Florence
counties had been settled. There were
no representatives present from the
Marion side and the committee defer
red mapping out the Wilmington
branch through the two counties un-
til the Marion, as well as the Dillon
people had been heard from. The first
thought of the committee was the di-
version of tourist travel to the South
this way, and the Pee Dee bridge be-
ing still up in the air, the Cheraw
route seemed to present On opportun-
ity to bid for it. AS to the personal
and official jealous and sQuabbling

OH the question Of the Pee Dee bridge
If there Is any squabble it is between
the representatives of the two coun-
ties on the one hand and the highway
commission engineers on the other.
1t Is true that Marion county repre-
scntatives are unalterably opposed to
the site selected by 1.-The State high
way engineers and will not, accord
ing to my information, have anything
to do with it.
Florence is apparently ready to
join in on either of the sites proposed,
the one above the railroad bridge, as
recommended by the highway COM
mission or the one at Mars Bluff
Ferry, the choice of the Marion side,
but it is certain that in the event the
engineers disapprove of the Mars
Bluff site, the Florence people will
stand by Marion and build the bridge
at the last named site without gov
ernment aid The proposition to build
toll bridge by the two counties is
gaining ground. 1t is argued that the
revenue would soon pay for the
bridge. The impression that dissension
exists between the Marion and Flor
ence people has arisen through the
delay in gettnng an expression from
the State highway engineers and
the impatience that has resulted. The
people in the two counties want a
bridge over the Pee Dee river. They
have been making every effort to ad-
just the matter of a site. Surveys of
the Mars Bluff Ferry site have been
Furnished, but not word has come
from the authorities, who appear to

The federal bureau puts it up to the

commission passes the buck On to the
federal bureau and so there the mat
ter stands. Representative Hughes, OF
Marion. with whom this correspond
ent talked today, declared that he had
made every effort to get the highway
