Of going to Germany.

making the announcement at that
time
The chief reason was that, as my
remarks would be telegraphed to Ger
many, they would, l realized, bring
me into touch with number of Ger
mans whom l knew before tlfe war
and of whom had not heard since the
war.
The immediate results of the an
nouncement were the usual abusive
letters and postcards which the Brit
ish postmaster permits to pass, and
violent diatribes in German news
papers. especially the formerly great
KQelnische Zeitung. This was the sort
of thing written in the well known
Der Mittag:
This man is not coming to Ger
many to establish the truth and after
ward proclaim it to England. but to
forge and collect new weapons against
us. In him we are not dealing with
an honorable man. If he came to us
we should shut the door in his face"
am well aware that the German
newspapers bark is often ferocious
and the German himself, when prop
erly tackled, is quite different in tone
Nevertheless. acting on the advice
of former German acquaintance who
came to meet me at a Dutch town I
was cautious about my movements
in Germany. and. naturally, I didn't
use my own name.

Condition of Belgium.
There is an inclination in the public
mind to exaggerate the amount OF
damage done in Belgium by the Ger
mans. Any student OF war knows
that the Germans did comparatively
little damage in Belgium compared
to the devastations in France. The
German army lived in Belgium for
years and spent money there. ard !

S16y,UUU,UUO of which S9,250,0O0 is
for enforcemnt of prohibition during
the fiscal year beginning next July
1st.
The measure was sent to the SEN
ate without a record vote practically
no opposition developing to its vari-
Gus provisions. Only one amendment
was adopted while several sections
were eliminated on points of order.
Representative Hill, republican, of
Maryland, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to cut the amount provided
for prohibition enforcement to $780,
900, but this amendment was quick
ly showed under.
At the outset the Maryland men,
Der proposed that the amount for en-
forcing the eighteenth amendment
be slashed to s250,OOO with the add
ed provision that if any additional
funds were needed states which he
said had acted concurrently with the
federal government in bringing on
prohibition should contribute as they
saw fit. This proposal however, was
knocked out on point of order and
Mr.. Hill then called for vote on the
straight question of reducing the ap-
preparation.
Little discussion was provoked and
once the Hill amendment was dispos-
ed of the house proceeded to consid-
Grafton of other features of the bill.
On a point of order by Representa-
tive Walsh, republican, Massachu-
setts, provision was $4,000 salary
for an under-secretary of the treas
ury was eliminated.
The effect of the budget system,
members said, was evident in the few
changes proposed. A year ago the va
rious appropriation bills were the
target of dozens of amendments and
points of order.

New Columbia Hotel Erected
hu George z. Norris.

The DeSoto, Columbia's newest no.
tel, will open its doors tonight at 8
o'clock, at which time the public has
been invited by the management to
come and visit the place. Last night
the finishing touches had practically
been completed and by tonight every
thing will be in readiness for Colum-
bia to see this we'll appointed hotel.
The location is 1109 Lady street, the
lobby being on the ground floor and
the rooms and parlors on the two
stories above.
The DeSoto was built by George R.
Norris at an expense said to be over
100000. In addition to the hotel,
there are three storerooms. Accom-
modations are provided in the hotel
for 100 guests. Each room has a pri-
vate or connecting bath and each
room is equipped with AL modern
conveniences. The furnishings have
been carefully selected and those who
go to the hotel for the opening night
will see that Columbia has another
hotel of which it can be proud. The
hotel will not have dining room.
W. E. Garrett, formerly of Colum-
bia, who is one of the co-operators of
the DeSoto in Jacksonville, a new
hotel which is located just across
from the union station, is the lessee
of the DeSoto here. The place will be
under the management of Chas. D.
Gordon, for number of years in the
hotel business in Chattanooga and
more recently in Arcadia, Fla. He
has brought with him William Mont
gomery to be the head clerk.-The

Billy" Sunday breaches in
Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, Jan. S.-"Billy'
Sunday opened his meeting in Spar
tanburg today, speaking at three ser
vices, morning, afternoon and night,
to audiences that packed every posi-
BILE seat in the tabernacle, seating
more than 5000 persons. Though the
rain was falling throughout the day,
the crowds came and hundreds of
them remained in the great building
throughout the day, except for jour-
neys to neighboring restaurants for
dinner and supper. Mr. Sundays
three texts were: In the morning,
"Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since We believed?"; in the afternoon,
"The hour is Gomez" night, "Why
call me Lord, Lord?"
The speakers marvellous enthusi-
asm, his power of action and the
great rapidity with which he speaks
were all contributing elements in the
hold he has already established on his
audiences. At the afternoon meeting
the choir of 800 voices, under the
direction of Homer Rodeheaver,
turned INTO it's real revival swing with
the old time songs, above which the
voice of the great song leader was
heard. Mr.. Sunday will preach every
day in the week except Monday.
"Billy" Sunday has spoken to three
audiences of more than 5000 each on
the opening day of his campaign in
Spartanburg and closed tonight's
meeting standing on the top of the
pulpit crying with both hands to his
mouth "Why call me Lord, Lord, and
do not the things 1 say?"
His text of the night sermon, from
which he preached upon the sins and
weaknesses of society, mixed scrip
ture and modern slang with rapidity
that leaves his audience almost diz-
zy. The South Carolina audience al
most broke into prolonged applause
at one time when he concluded de-
nunciation of the divorce evil and
again when he paid his respects to
the bootleggers. When he reached in
the course of his sermon the theatre
and society, he declared he had no
quarrel with the theatre or with So
ciety but with their sins and declar-
ed mothers of girls who permit them
to joy ride into the night were open
ing the gates of hell.
Mr.. Sunday breaches from text
and sticks to his text, calling it over
and over throughout the course of his
sermon until the line rings in the
ears of his audience. He switches

--.-..-,rI1 uIrecCl0n Mr.
Rodeheaver had every section of the
great audience carrying the refrain
in sections and then all together. The
singing tonight showed the work of
the artist as the old familiar hymns
of the church rolled from 5000
throats.
The expense of the Sunday cam
paign, amounting to $4,000, it was
announced, will be cleared up in the
collections for the first week. Thou
sands of dollars were dropped into
the tin pans today. Mr.. Sunday will
not preach tomorrow but again on
Tuesday afternoon the weeks work
will be begun.

with each other. This can
with contrivance placed on the plow
stock which marks the next row to be
run the same distance apart as the
others and insures rows of equal
width from one end to the other and
from one side of the field to the 9th
er, which is absolutely necessary in
the rapid and even cultivation of the
crop. This should then be followed by
the guano distributor of the covering
type, which will ridge on the fertili-
zer and make the bed for planting of
the seed The cotton seed planted
should follow Immediately, putting
plenty of seed to insure thick row
of plants, at least one to one and a
half bushels to the acre, of medium
sized seeds. By following this method
when the planting is finished, the field
should be perfectly level.
"When the plants begin to comeup
and before, if there happens to come
hard rain, the weeder, or section
harrow, should be run across the
rows nearly square. This will break
the crust and destroy the young
grass and weeds which would other
wise come up before the cotton did,
and besides would leave the soil in
fine condition. This should be kept
ND for two o. three times and until
the cotton plants are beginning to
show their bud leaves.
"When the plants are up and have
begun to grow sufficiently so that the
stronger and better nourished plants
can be determined, the hoeing or
spacing in the drill should begin.
The thick spacing of cotton is ap-
proved because it tends to develop
more of the first fruiting of bolls and
to some extent prevents the plants
from making too much leaf and stalk
at the expense OF the hrst 1rulCage.
Six to eight inches apart in the drill,
with from two to four stalks to the
hill, has shown the best results.
"Now the cultivation should COM
mence, and should be rapid, thorough
and level. Spring tooth cultivators,
so shaped that they reach from row to
row; and for the first cultivation, a
snake head or round tooth on each
side, has made this cultivator very
good implement. By using this kind
of tool one man and one mule can
go over from five to six acres per
day. By doing this once every week,
and more if possible, the young grass
and weeds are destroyed in their in
cipiency. This cultivation should be

Communion Cup Poisons Ten
DeaconS.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. S.-Ten
elders of the Seventh Reformed
church here were poisoned at the
morning service today when they
drank varnish that had been poured
into communion cup in the belief
it was sacramental wine. Two of the
elders were said to be in a critical
condition.
The church recently had been re-
paired and in the store room where
the sacramental wine is kept in jug
several jugs of varnish used in re-
decorating had been stored. One of
the officials of the church is said to
have mistaken the varnish for wine
when he filled the communion cup du-
ring the church service.
The ten elders of the church were
the first to drink the communion
wine. Asthe cup was being passed to
other members OF the congregation
the elders were seen to fall to the
floor. Many of the church members
became panic stricken and rushed
from the edifice. A physician was
summoned and the stricken men TAX
en- to the hospitals or to their homes.
The poisoned elders were D. j. Va
derwert, Johr, Riewold, S. Folkerts-
ma, Henry Terkeurst, John Bosth, R.
Druyn, ]. Hollgensteger, C. Heems-
tro, R. Dofco and H. Hoggsweis.
The communion cup was passed to
the elders Immediately after the Rev.
D. A. Vanlummel the pastor, had
completed his sermon. Elder Riewold
was the first to drink the poison and
the first to fall. The other elders COL
lapsed in rapid succession. Folkertsna
was said to be in the most serious
condition of any of the ten.

Rise in Sugar Price Expected.

Washington, Jan. s.-Higher
prices for sugar may be expected ac-
cording to results of an investigation
into the situation il the sugar indus
try made public tonight by the COM
merce department.
"The Market" the department
said, "is now entirely uninfuenced
by any artificial control and the pres
ent production of sugar below the
worlds demands and again creating
high prices.
In it's investigation the department
found that there is an abnormal "vis-
ible" world surplus of sugar, amount
ing to about 100000 tons congest-
ed in the Western Hemisphere. "In-
visible" stocks of sugar in the hands
of wholesalers and retailers, was es-
timated at from 100000 to 100000
tons below normal, due to apprehen-
sion of further fall in prices. The
world production of sugar for 1922
was estimated by this department to
be less by from 100000 to 100000
tons than production for 1921 while
consumption for 1922 it was thought
would be larger than in 1921 and
"with general economic recovery
should exceed production and thus
absorb some or all of the surplus.
The present price of $1.87 for &c.
and F." raw sugar was declared to
be the lowest level for 20 years and
to be below production cost of about
30 per cent of both domestic and
Cuban sugar,
"This low price for sugar." the de-
partment said, "has resulted not only
from the fear of the large visible
surplus but also from the apprehen-
sion that in the falling market there
might be forced realization of the
loans made against existing surplus
stocks Of sugar. that there would be
difficulty in financing the new Cuban
crop, that the financial difficulties of
the Cuban government itself might
not be readily solved, and that the
dissolution of the Cuban sugar COM
mission on January 1st, might result
in considerable liquidation of sugar.
"The Cuban sugar commission was
dissolved January 1st and it is now
demonstrated that no appreciate
forced liquidation is likely to take
place. Then banks generally have
been we'll covered down to the low
prices of sugar and there is no likeli-
hood of forced realization. There ap-
pears to be sufficient money for fl
nancing the new crop wherever it can
be produced on reasonable basis of
cost and the Cuban government seems
to ho u, eo;- Tn solve ire fno"

kept up through the entire season
and until this cotton has developed
it's fruit and is ready to begin open
ing or the bolls have begun to be
speckled.
Level Planting Idea.
"Now as to the idea of this method
of level planting and cultivating, l
wish to say that moisture, being one
Of. the chief requirements for the IN
cubation of the eggs and development
of the larvae of the boil weevil, this
method tends to prevent the accumu-
lation of moisture by destroying the
depressions and low places along the
rows in which the punctured squares
and forms would fall and find the
necessary amount of moisture for IN
cubation. Go in any field almost any
morning, even in dry weather, and
YOU will find the bottom of the fur
rows moist, and besides the rain that
falls during the season accumulates
in the depressions made with the
plows and furnishes ideal conditions
for the propagation of the pest, while
the blowing or listing will turn under
the punctured forms to moisture and
hatch the young weevil out under
ground from where he will emerge
in his destroying quest, while under
the level cultural methods the mois-
ture is evenly distributed, the top
layers of soil dry easily, and even
copious rains on properly prepared
upland field will not long hinder the
shallow cultivation which under such
conditions are so much needed. The
punctured forms are mixed up with
the dry hot dust mulch and in a few
hours has dried up and does not
hatch.
"Another thing, most people have
an idea that it takes extremely early
planting of the seed to get ahead OF
the weevil, and by taking such steps,
lots of our farmers have nearly lost
an entire crop the past year. Do not
plant until the land begins to warm
up, because if you do, the seed will
likely rot in the soil instead of ger
minating, or else die trying to sur
vive a late cold snap. Planting over
or replanting and stand of late
May or June cotton is the result,
which, even if it does not start, grows
up with lot of leaf and stalk and is
the favorite breeding ground or prey
of the weevil. Usually in the northern
part of this state the time best suit
ed to the planting of cotton is from
April 10 25.
