Total Population of State.
Columbia, Jan. 15.-There are 3)a.
O9O Baptists in the state Of South Car
olina today according to n survey that
has just been camf."tcd by Or. L j..
a bridge, secretary of snrycy. statistic s
and information Of the Baptist Sunday
school board
The survey as conducted on the Bap-
tist DEVELOPMENT in the United States
since 1921 the year in which the Bap-
tist state convention Of South Caro-
lima was organized at Grcenville, the
hrst convention to be organized with
in the territory OF the Southern Bap-
tist convention. The survey reveals
that the Baptist gain in the United
States for the century was 7,7l6,563 or
an advance Of 2,967 per cent while the
increase in population in the country
for the same period was only 826 per
cent. 1t is in the South however that
the Baptists have their greatest strong
hold, the number in this section being
6,1G2,500.
In 1921 when the South Carolina
convention was organized, there were
only 204 Baptist churches in the state
with III ministers and 1908 members.
These churches reported 759 baptisms
for that year. BY 1921, however, the
number of white Baptist churches CO.
operating with the Southern Baptist
convention had increased to / ,150 with
l76,379 members. Last year they re-
ported SS7 Sunday schools with an en-
rollment OF 110,020 and local church
property valued at $6,880,01O. The con-
tributions Of these churches to home
purposes last year amounted to 81 1,276,-
VA. and to missions and benevolences
Sl,225,770, making the total contribu-
tons for the year to all causes 81
+432,544.
The comparison OF the present
Baptist membership In the state with
the total population shows that 23.S
per cent OF all the people Of South
Carolina are members Of local Bap-
tist churches. DR.. Alldredge's survey
reveals further In fact that South Car.
olina Baptists lead all others OF the
south not only1in organizing con-
yention but th9t they organized the

The Advertiser hopes that the small
appropriation provided by the delega-
ton will not prevent this county from
securing the services of farm demon
strator. Our belief in the matter is
that it would be far better to wipe out
the entire rural police system of the
county than to lose the services Of an
efficient farm demonstration depart
ment at this time. One determined
deputy sheriff, provided he had the
backing of juries, judges and public

BUSINESS LEAGUE
CONDEMNS TAX BILL

Opposes State Income Tax Law as
Proposed in Bill Now Before Legis
lature.
At meeting of the Laurens Busi-
ness League held in the Peoples Loan
& Exchange Bank building Monday af-
ternoon protest was voiced against the
proposed income and excess profits tax
for South Carolina. The protest was
made following the receipt OF tele-
gram from c. w. Coker, president of
the South Carolina taxpayers associa-
tion explaining the provisions Of the
proposed act.
The bill as it is before the finance
committee Of the Senate provides for
an income tax of 25 per cent and in
some cases of 100 per cent Of the fed
eral income tax. If passed and enact
ed into law it would seriously cripple
South Carolina industries and injury
to the industries in the state means
hardships on the people, according to
claims made by the South Carolina
taxpayers association.
The Business League heartily in
dorsed the South Carolina Taxpayers
Association in it's opposition to the bill
and in its efforts to show at the hear
ing of the Senate committee the disas-
trous effect such a law would have.
The telegram from Mr.. Coker was
as follows: ..$&
The proposed State income tax and
excess profits bill now before the, fin
ance committee Of the Senate provid-
es an income tax from 25 percent to
in some instances 100 per cent Of the
federal income tax. This bill, If en-
acted into law will seriously clipple
South Carolina industries and proba-
bly, repel new capital under the pres
ent boil wcevil conditions in this state.
Our people will have TO rely more up
on industrial work than they have in
the past; If industries are discour-
aged, our people Will suffer. Will you
not have your body pass a resolution
protesting against the pending bill and
endorsing the bill advocated by the
taxpayers association which is not to
exceed 10 per cent Of the amount OF
federal income tax. The state taXpay-
ers association is working for levy
not to exceed 10 per cent Of the fed
eral income tax and excess profits tax.
II the state taxpayers association is to
carry out their program we must have
your support. Please send resolution
to Mr.. John !. Rice, Secretary, Pal
mctto Building, Columbia, S. c., SO
that it will reach him by next Tues
day the 2ith as wc have hearing be-
fore the finance committee Of the SEN
atc on that day.

INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Conflicting reports of the death of
w. Frank Walker, which occurred in
Columbia hospital early Saturday
morning as a result of personal diff
ftculty in Blackvillc the day before,
seems to us to warrant a thorough in
vestigation from the Office of the chief
executive in Columbia From reports
in the daily press, as we'll as from re-
ports brought to Laurcns directly, it
appears that two men at least took
Fart in the difficulty and yet only one
was arrested and he many hours after
the difficulty took place. The hosts of
friends Of the deceased man in this
county, many Of whom contributed at
one time to reward for his conspicu-
GUS bravery in the performance OF
duty, are at loss to understand the
conflicting reports which have come to
them and they feel that a thorough
investigation Of the case from Column
bia might be valuable to the cause of
justice.

AIR TRAVEL OFFERS
COMFORTS OF HOME

Paris, Jan. 15.-Ample proof that
travel by air has now reached the
same luxurious standards as travel by
land was given in the seventh annual
aero salon held here.
No longer need prospective air trav-
ellers hesitate for lack Of convenience,
comfort and, experts say, safety also.
Danger from fire and engine trouble
has been reduced to a minimum by the
latest inventions in aviation. Promo
tcrs Of continental air transportation
guaratcc smoother travel through the
air at speed Of 125 miles an hour
than is possible to experience on even
the slowest Of trains
The airplanc will play a most i'm
portant part in the Red Cross work
OF future wars. Air operating rooms
with full equipment and air ambu-
lanccs for less urgent cases are q
practical reality. Several unusual ma
chimes were shown to prove this, one
complete aero hospital, accommo-
dating two patients On stretchcrs, a
doctor and an assistant with complete
operating necessities, including ta-
'hlc. The newest stabilizing appliance
es permit the surgeon to operate while
the machine goes through space at 100
miles an hour. There were several air
ambulances with space for two or four
wounded soldiers.
I. The last word in de luxe air travel
Is q tremendous machine built to
carry "a passengers at speed of 1870
miles an hour. IT IS a yeritable "air

$tains d bathroom, d smoking room with
