world in that way which we call
miracles. then Il would seem the
most reasonable and natural thing
that such DEALINGS should have
eased with the completion of some
age program or some great out
standing world event
Now we understand that with the
ROOD, God destroyed all wicked peo-
PIE ana their evil works from the
lace Of the earth, but we canno
point TO that as such an event with
which miracles ceased, because many
great and wonderful miracles have
been performed since then.
During the conquest and settle
mont OF Canaan, Gods wondc.-
working power was seen ON many
different occasions In leading the
children OF Israel and in defending
them and seeing them safely settled
In their now home the land which
he had promised them, but this Is
not the last We have seen OF Gods
mikhty power.
Again, u no miracle had been per-
formed after Jesus Christ came into
the world, that TACT alone would
perhaps have convinced us all that
the day 90 miracles had forever
passed. But II the mighty work OF
uod mad ,eaaCd mere, hr.sl neyc .
would have beon accepted as tho
Son OF God and the worlds great
savior, This work OF God did no
stop here, for Christ Himself took
II into hand, personally training u
few apostles ana disciples, and did
many wonderful works among the
people, and then went TO tho cross,
then to the grave, from which He
arose ana, Wtcr giving a few word
OF urgent council TO HIS disciples. lie
returned TO the Father.
A great portion OF the world
knows that miracles did not cease
at this time. On the contrary they
became much more frequent than
ever before. OF course 10 is true
that there has been great education
al advancement since then, but thai,
good as II is, can never take the
place OF GJN' y power among His
people. Whenever It is used as a
substitute Tor the power OF God il
only becomes intellectual rubbish un-
der which God and our need of Him
are lost to u.s.

Happy Is the man cor woman who
can now discover and appreciate the

An Appeal to Democrats
To Democratic Leaders,
State of South Carolina,

Gentlemen:
Democratic prospects and oppor-
tunities are daily increasing provid-
ed the necessary funds be secured
Immediately to take a r Of a deficit
of the National Democratic COM
mittee and care for the eXpens e of
National Headquarters in Washing
ton.
You served we'll in the campaign
last year and South Carolina made
the best record in the country.
l am writing to ask that you again
come to the aid of the party.
For the sake of a few dollars we
can not allow Democratic hopes to
be broken.
Let me urge that you get in touch
with leading Democrats in your
county and secure small contribu-
tons.
South Cardinals quota is $4,000.
This will mean only a small allot-
ment from each county.
A letter from Hon. Cordel! Hull,
National Chairman, states that funds
are urgently needed.
Please get the Democratic or
~ganization in your county active to
the end that South Carolina Demo
cracy may do its full duty at the
earliest possible moment.
Please address all communities
tions to me in Columbia.
Gen. Willie Jones, State chairman
ard Hon. John Gary Evans, National
committeeman, join in this appeal.
Yours faithfully,
Joe Sparks,
Finance Chairman,

Methodists Plan for World
SUNDAY.

Another significant step in the
progress of Southern Methodism is
he appointment Of a day to be
| ;nown as "World Sunday" through
out its entire connection. This decis-
on was reached at the c~hurch-wide
conference on. world program and
missionary advance recently held in
Memphis, Tenn, and came as a eli
max to what is said to be the most
notable meeting of M%ethodists ever
assembled.
"World Sunday as adopted by the
400 and more M%ethodists leaders in
Memphis, proposes to secure for the
| church as brilliant a record in the
matter of payment of pledges as it
has already attained in subscribing to
the centenary movement which has
claimed the attention of that denom-
nation for the past three years and
through which something like $780,
OOO, 900 was subscribed for missions
and other causes of the church.
In a review of the work of the
church through centenary channels
it was shown that 60 per cent of the
entire amount pledged is now due,
whereas, only 40 per cent has been
paid, and that unless church MEM
bers in arrears come up with their
payments before the meeting of the
general conference in May, the
church will be hindered in carrying
on the enlarged program as planned
under the centenary movement.
In order that at least $4,000,000
of unpaid centenary pledges be Sc
cured WITHIN the next three months,
plans have been well made to call
back into action all of the forces of
the church in an effort. to bring the
payment of pledges up to date.
The idea of a "World Sunday" for
Southern Methodists, when through
out the bounds of that denomination
a simultaneous effort will be made for
collection of centenary dues, origi-
mated with DR.. Charles C. Selecman,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
Dallas, Texas. DR.. Selecman has al
ready demonstrated the practicable
ty and efficiency of this plan, using
Easter Sunday Of last year as
"World Sunday" for the church of
which he is the pastor, with the re-
suit that the missionary offering for
that Sunday amounted to between
$1,000 and $4,000.
"The real result of the movement"
said DR.. Selecman, could not be es-
timated in cash. Many who had been
backward in their payments were re-
minded of the sacredness of the
claim and came forward in a few
weeks with their money, while the
zeal of the church for missions was
quickened by the campaign"

Urges Reduction in Cotton
Acreage

Columbia, Feb. 2e.-Convinced
they say, that any increase in cotton
acreage this year would be absolute
ly ruinous to the state, officials of the
South Carolina Division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association today issued
q statement setting forth the facts
in the situation as they see them, and
urging every interest in South Caro-
lima to unite in an effort to hold the
acreage down at least to that of 1921.
A further reduction would be strong
ly advisable the association says, four
major reasons are given by the as
ISOLATION why the acreage should not
be increased and it says there are nu-
merous reasons, the four principal
ones are:
First. An increase in cotton acre
age would cheaper all collateral held
by Southern banks.
Second. Under boil weevil> condi-
lions an increase in acreage means an
increase in possible disaster by the
bell weevil.
"Third. An increase in cotton acre
age means a decrease in food and
feed crops. Let's make the Southern
farm self sustaining before we again
undertake to raise a surplus of cot
ton.
"Fcurth. After bearing the brunt
of dehation neither u bankers,
merchants nor farmers are in a posi-
ton to finance a large crop.
Under existing conditions we
ought not to run the risk of a crop
failure and thus embarrass banks,
merchants and farmers. Plant only
such crop as can be financed with
comparative ease"
The association in its statement
takes the view that while "a large
acreage this year would not by any
means insure a large crop, it would
certainly very greatly depress the
price for the next eight or nine
months anyway. If we overproduce
prices will be ruinous, if we over
plant and the boil weevil repeats her
1921 performance, ruin is certain,
either way you look at it u only
salvation is in a very small acreage"
The association says that it feels
it to be its duty to sound this note
of warning to the farmers of the
state and it reminds them that sit
is better to be safe than sorry"

Overproduction Never Brought
Prosperity.

Interests of a more or less selfish
nature have started a campaign to
increase cotton acreage in the South.
They allege that cotton is the natural
money crop in the South aod there
fore the more there is produced the
greater the measure of prosperity.
Among the stock arguments used is
that there is an overproduction of
corn and that this grain is a drug on
the market in Iowa at 20 to 80 cents
per bushel, therefore Texas farmers
should devote acreage to cotton.
They neglect to say that corn was
given a value of so cents per bushel
in Texas by Government statisticians
and that it has been selling at a much
higher figure, o do these big cot
ton crop advocates tell the farmers
what Iowa corn would cost them if
shipped to Texas. Texas 20 is more
valuable because there was a short
crop.
An overproduction of cotton never
brought prosperity to the man who
sells gin machinery and the mar who
buys with a certain stipulated rake
off per bale probably enjoys added
prosperity, but the farmer who sees
prices forced down below cost of pro-
duction would have been better off
had he raised no cotton at all.
1.-THE Southern farmer has been in
bondage for more than fifty years
because he has confined himself al
most wholly to cotton. Until recently
he has never learned to grow any,
thing else, or at least has never found
as ready a market for other products.
For years he was discouraged from
making any attempt to produce any
thing but cotton and was taught to
believe that nothing else would grow.
Only in recent years have bankers
and merchants realized progress and
prosperity lay in another direction;
that the soil and climatic conditions
of the South invited intelligent di-
versifcation combined with livestock
raising and that all cotton, or an over
production of cotton will lead to dis
aster.
Southern farmers are beginning to
appreciate their opportunities for bet
ter living conditions and in this they
are being encouraged by all progress
i've citizens not blinded by prejudice.
Those who urge returning to the one
r system and to the old days of 6
to 10 cent cotton with no possible
chance of other commodities selling
at comparatively SIMILAR levels are a
generation behind the times. There
are going to be fewer slaves to cotton
every year as time rolls on. The day
will come when every Southern far
mer will produce a large part of his
own living on the farm and make cot
ton his money crop. With a smaller
acreage, better seed, rejuvenated
soil he will produce cotton that will
sell for cost plus.-Farm G. Ranch.
