Great Need of Sunday Schools

York, S. c., March 6, 1922.-"The
Greatest need of the Sunday School
today is competent, consecrated
teachers" said Prof W. S. Morrison,
vice chairman of the Evangelism
Committee of the South Carolina
Sunday School Association in an in
terview with the correspondent. "The
greatest task of the superintendent
is the training of his teachers. Many
things go to make up a trained
teacher.
every Sunday School teacher who
is really interested in giving boys
and girls in his care the best re-
ligious training that he can possibly
give should attend Sunday school
conventions, both denominational
and interdenominational whenever
and wherever possible.
"The Convention is the dynamo
of the Sunday School movement"
Prof. Morrison continued. "The con-
vention is the mother of Sunday
School improvement. The South
Carolina Sunday School Association
recommends and urges that each
Sunday School worker take his or
her UNCONVENTIONAL training course
and also the reading course offered
by the Association"
Prof. Morrison who is at the head
of the department of History at
Clemson is one of the best known
Sunday School workers in South Caro-
lima. He has taken an active interest
in the growth and progress of the
State Association for many years.

Sweet Potatoes

The growing of sweet potatoes in
South Carolina is very easy and they
are grown in small quantitieson al:
most every farm. Since the Boil
Weevil has come many are turning
to this crop for a source of revenue,
1t might be we'll to state some facts
about the growing of this crop that
are not generally known here.
In the first place, let me say, they
will be found most profitable if
grown early. If you can get your
sweet potatoes on the market early in
August, you can be assured of a
good price for them. 1t is not neces-
sary to cure them at this time but
may be loaded on the al in hampers
right from the field and marketed.
To do this they must be planted in
April or early May. Plants must be
grown right on yourown farm. 1t is
neither practical nor profitable to
buy your plants and have them ship
ped in by express.
Make Your Plant Bed.
The following simple directions
will be carried out will give you the
plants early. Lay off you a bed in
a sunny place on good high land, Is
in, Deep 70 inches wide and as long
as you. may wish. A twelve-in
board on the North side and a six
in, board on the South side with an
excavation of a in, will give you
the desired depth, there should be
at least 6 in, slope to shed the water
when the heavy rains come. Put at
least 4 in, good stable manure well
packed in the bottom. Put in a good
quantity of lime, quick lime. Be sure
to break the Jumps and mix it with
the manure. Then put on the man.
ure 1 in, of sand. Sprinkle the sand
with sulphur lightly. Dip the seed
in a solution of formilin, 1 pint to
80 gal, water. Place the seed in the
bed pressing them in the sand about
one inch apart. Place the ends of the
potatoes towards the side of the bed.
Sprinkle the seed with water after
placing them in the bed. Cover about
one in, deep with sand and later top
dress with sand as the sprouts make
their appearance. Two in, slate set
flush with the top should be nailed
in three feet apart to hold the cover.
Make the cover of u%nbleached mus
lin to fit the bed, dip in hot linseed
oil, tack it ON the North side and
fasten with loops on the South side
of the bed so that it can be Embossed
and rolled back. The BID must be
kept well watered as need may be.
When the plants get up the bed must
be carefully watched and the Gov r
removed on hot days.
Bed your potatoes as soon after
the 1st of March as possible, when
the plants get up the cover can be
removed and the plants toughened.
When the time comes for transplant
ing, draw only the large healthy
plants leaving the others in the bed to
grow. After each drawing, top dress
the bed with guano or very fine
stable manure. When you trans
plant, put the roots of the plants in
buckets or tubs filled with water suf-
ficient to cover the roots. When the
plants are treated thus they will not
or shed the leaves. The
Edgefield Produce Exchange will be
prepared to pack and ship your
early Sweet Potatoes.

and pay their salary and expenses
to look after their interests and when
the poor have complaint to make
that their children are underfed on
account of the breadwinner not re-
celving a living wage, or that working
conditions are not satisfactory, then
the representative of labor comes to
examine the cases. Only the tyrant
of Syracuse could object to such a
method" And then to conclude, the
Rev. Father said, 81 only wish there
were more McSweeneys in the ranks
of labor. For labor strikes as well
as liberty strikes there must be honor
and sacrifice. But dishonor falls on
the heads of those who take a strik-
er's place. The newspapers call them
by the euphonious names of strike
breakers, but we all know their proper
name is scab. And just as Almighty
God put brand on Cain, so society
puts a brand on these abbettors of
oppression. They can never wipe it
out. Even those who employ them
despise them. From the Chronicle,

"SCABBINC" CALLS TO HEAVEN
FOR VENGEANCE, SAYS PRIEST
Father Delanty, of Bay City, Mich, Says Church
Ranks Strike-Breaking With Murder and Horr-
BILE Crimes of Incest-Flays "Open-ShOp' AS
Hypocritical and Tyranncal

At the three masses in st. Mary's
church last Sunday, Bay City, Mich,
Rev. Father Delanty, the pastor,
made several statements substantially
as follows, in regard to the strike:
"The duty of the Catholic priest" he
said, "was to instruct his people not
only in the Catholic faith but also in
Christian morality"
The Catholic church, he said,
teaches always and everywhere in
season and out of season, that dis
honorable act is always to be con-
demned and never to be approved.
But to take the place of men striking
for bread is a dishonorable act. 1t
is against reason and religion and
hence no Catholic should ever be
tempted to do such a detestable thing.
| say no Catholic" went on Father
Delanty, because | am now speaking

the victim deliberately struck down
cries to heaven for vengeance.
2. The Sins of. Sodom-bad sins or
impurity against the sixth command
ment.
3. Expressions of the poor, and
d. Defrauding laborers of their
wages.
This is the teaching of the Catholic
church. Oppression of the poor, then,
is linked together with the worst of
crimes and cries to heaven for ven
geance.
"Be not partner in any way" said
the reverend pastor, 'in this oppres-
sion for it seems, indeed, that the day
is at hand when a living wage is
denied at least to some. | may say
also," continued Father Delanty, "that
the church in no way prohibits labor
unions, such as we know them, whose
aims and methods are good In fact
it is about the only way men have to
protect their rights"
But" say the kings of industry,
we believe in unions also, but not in
the union boss We believe lin run
ming our own business to suit our
selves, but we don't want walking
delegate to tell US how we should
conduct our business affairs with our
men. We believe in individual shop
unions'
'It puts me in mind" Father Delan-
ty said. "of the story told in ancient
history of the king who sent his son.
the crown prince, to the tyrant OF
Syracuse to learn how to govern like
tyrant did; for he had the reputa-
ton of being able to keep his subjects
in abject submission.
"'Come with me- said the tyrant to
the prince, and he took him into a
large field of wheat. Whenever the
tyrant saw an ear of wheat growing
a little above the rest he took his staff
and clipped it off. Several ears were
clipped off during the journey, but
not a word was spoken. The young
prince had learned his lesson.
$50, no doubt it would be with only
local union. AS soon as brave
and honest man would ask for living
wage, that is, more bread for his
children in his own name and the
names of his fellow laborers, the ty-
rant of Syracuse or some other tyrant
would be on hand to clip his head off
by discharge.
Very wisely, then, the members
of the labor unions have elected men

During the war the working
men of the United States dis
charged their duties in a highly
patriotic manner. They met un-
usual conditions in a spirit of
cooperation. They worke d
against hsrdships and in diff
cult circumstances. They ad-
justed quickly to new require
ments, shifted their skill to new
lines of production, gave a full
measure of value for their
wages and helped nightly to
win the victory that so quickly
came to American arms.

Every advance of labor marks
an advance in the education of
employers.

work of our people can never

must be more, and more, and
more--more tomorrow than to-

ECONOMIES URGED BY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The following resolutions have
been adopted by the executive COM
mittee of the taxpayers association
of Whitman county:
Whereas A compa son between
expenses of 1914 and 1921 show a
heavy percentage of increase in many
departments of county government,
viz Roads 215 per cent schools 112
per cent, commissioners 100 per cent,
auditor 105 per cent, treasurer ia
per cent assessor 81 per cent en-
gineer Sc per cent. judiciary 1 per

attorney 20 per cent sheriff 6& per

cent. courthouse 81 per cent, county

and miscellaneous 229 per cent: and
Whereas, Ability of the people to
pay taxes has been severely crippled
by after-war adjustment of prices,
while taxes for 1921 are the highest
in the history Of the county, threat
ening agriculture, our basic indus
try, and hiudering a return of pros
perity to all lines of industry, be it
Resolved, by the executive COM
mittee of the Whitman County Tax
payers association, that collective
effort by taxpayers, citizens and all
officials in control of public expendi-
lures, be made to bring down public
costs, at least in some degree, to the
reduced earning capacity of the av-
erage taxpayer.
We urge school district directors
to give serious consideration to the
entire scope of school expenditures.
We believe that the high standard
of our schools can be maintained,
and yet that we can secure substan-
tial reductions in school costs We
suggest careful study of the follow
ing questions:
Can reduction in salaries be Sc
cured by suspending for the school
year 1929 all customary advances
in salaries in disappointment Of
teachers?
Can salaries be scaled for new ap-
pointments?
Can the personnel be reduced by
consolidation, and the elimination for
1929 of instruction in non-essen-
tial subjects?
We appeal to teachers to bear
their part in the sacrifice that all
must make to secure the recovery
of normally, by meeting in a reason
able and helpful spirit the efforts of
school officials to tighten the load
of taxpayers for next year.
We commend the attitude of the
county commissioners in their eff
forts to reduce expenditures, and we
also commend the attitude of all 9TH
er county officials who are adequate
