Before making the initial shipment
of his cotton in December Mr.. Fret

with the corporation that he became

Went for Wrestling Match and
Got Religion.

Spartanburg, Jan. 27.-One Of the
most beautiful of stories that has yet
come out of the Sunday tabernacle
took place last night when Mr.. Sun
day called for people to come up and
take the stand for a newer and better
life. The story is of a young man
who was raised in a Christian home,
who gradually took up evil habits
and companions and then last night,
came back to Jesus Christ, follow
ing Mr.. Sundays invitation.
Yesterday morning there came to
this city a young man, boastful, criti-
cal of Mr.. Sunday and his methods,
and with the confessed intention of
promoting a wrestling match here,
wagering money on one of the wrest-
lers. 1t was a framed match. In a
pool room yesterday afternoon the
conversation versed to MI. Sunday
and the young man sneeringly stated
that he would go to hear him and
that he would see "what that duck
had to say"
He went to the tabernacle with the
idea in mind of criticizing Mr.. Sun
day and his methods. Toward the
end of the sermon he was seer to be
in deep thought. When the invitation
came to chit the trail" a personal
worker went to him and asked him to
go up. The young man with tears in
his eyes and his voice trembling then
told the story of the wrestling match
the critical viewpoint and the follow
ing:
He had been educated Tor the hin
istry at Wake Forest college, after
graduation he had fallen in with evil
companions and had gone down the
route. In his own words to the per-
sonal worker, a minister of the gospel
and another person. els there any
hope for a man like me? Can I be
saved? I have committed every sin
but murder" He then told of a
Christian father and mother, who had
never done an evil thing in their
lives and of the wasted life he had
led. The worker promised him saliva
ton, the minister gave him all the
consolation he could and then the
young man went up, head high, a
new light in his eyes and a self-made
promise to live a new and cleaner
life.

Gave Outline of Plan for Ship
ping Cotton Direct to
Europe.

Having learned that Mr.. j. ]. Fret.
well, one of the leading farmers of
Anderson county, shipped 800 bales
of cotton direct to Central Europe,
and believing that there are great
possibilities for the. cotton growers
in this direct shipment of their staple
to foreign spinners, eliminating the
profits of brokers and other middle
men, some of our business men ex-
tended an invitation to Mr.. Fret
well to visit Edgefeld and lay be-
fore our people the details of the
new plan of selling. Mr.. Fretwell ac-
cepted the invitation and Tuesday
morning met with some of u farm
ers and other business men. He is a
practical farmer and business man
who has made a success of life and
at once inspires confidence on the
part of his hearers.
Mr.. Fretwell stated that On Decem-
Der II he shipped $40 bales of cot
ton abroad and that on January he
made a second. shipment of 800 bales,
all of which he grew upon his farms
in Anderson county. The cotton is
consigned to the Warrant Export
CORPORATION, whose president is Mr..
Samuel C. Dobbs, a leading banker
of Atlanta. This corporation advances
$40 per bale on the cotton at the time
it is shipped and makes settlement
in full when returns are received
from the sale abroad, which will be
about six months after the cotton is
shipped. Mr.. Fretwell stated that a
profit of from six to ten cents above
the price paid when sold through the
usual channel, will be realized.
Cotton that is exported from South
Carolina is first shipped to Columbia
to be compressed and then re-shipped
to Charleston, where it is loaded on
vessels for Hamburg, Germany. At
Hamburg it is re-shipped into
Czecho-Slovaliia to the Mautner-
Kui1er Mills which operate about
100000 spindles. The Warrant Ex-
port Corporation has a contract with
Mr.. Kufler, who is reputed to be the
R%othchilds of that country, for $780,
900 bales. The cotton is not sold to
the mill but consigned to it to be
manufactured into cloth. The cloth is
shipped back to Hamburg where it is
put on the market by selling agents
of the Warrant Export Corporation.
Mr.. Fretwell is very enthusiastic
over the direct exporting of cotton,
being of the opinion that it will ul-
timately revolutionize the plan of
marketing cotton and will also free
the cotton growers from the domino
Ition of the New York Cotton Ext
change. Mr.. Fretwell will soon make
another shipment of 600 bales for

Strong and Timely Sermon.

A large congregation assembled in
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing and all who were present were
abundantly rewarded by hearing the
earnest, forceful and timely sermon
by Rev. G. w. M. Taylor The uncom-
promising life of Daniel, n of the
most pronounced Old Testament char
%acters, was held up as worthy of emu
lation by the people of this day and
generation. Just as Daniel was UNI
compromising before the court of the
king, never lowering his standards,
nor swerving from the path of recti-
tude, so Mr.. Taylor urged his hear
ers to be as uncompromising and as
insistent upon the right.
In making local application, Mr..
Taylor related an incident which re-
Gently came under his observation
which was a strong arraignment of
Edgefeld. Not many months ago a
young mar came to Edgefeld and
accepted a position. He fell into bad
company and yielded to the tempta-
ton of strong drink. This grew upon
him to such an extent that his en-
ployer had to prevail upon him to abb
stain from drinking. Finally it be-
came necessary for his employer to
inform the young man that unless he
changed his manner of living he
would be asked to give up his posi-
ton. Then the young man frankly
told his employer that he could not
remain in E~dgefeld and keep sober.
What a sever arrangement of a COM
munity! Has the often-boasted
"strong arm" of the law become weak
and impotent? Has established au-
thority been deposed and a surrender
made to violators of the law? Our
people should hang their heads in
shame when it is said by a young
man that he can not keep sober and
remain in Edgefield. We need a bet
ter enforcement of the prohibition
law in the town of Edgefeld and in
the county of Edgefeld. Fathers and
mothers, if a young man who came to
Edgefield to make his home could not
keep sober and remain here, what
about your boys who are now or will
be exposed to the same temptation?
Something should be done and done
speedily to improve the situation.
Mr.. Taylor also referred to the
sale of cigars and soft drinks in
Edgefield on Sunday. He said no bus
mess mar should violate the Sabbath
in order to reap the profit from the
sale of merchandise, the sale or pur-
chase of which is not necessary on
the Sabbath.
Mr.. Taylor has been very generally
commended for the sermon Oh Sun
day morning. Would that every man
and woman in Edgefeld could have
heard it!
