BY OXFORD GROUP
1000 Hear 10 Members of
International Team De-
scribe Movement.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

Two thousand persons crowded the
grand ball room Of the Mayfower Hotel
last evening to hear 10 members Of an
international team of the oxford group
movement testify to the BENEFITS OF
applied Christianity in their own ex-
perience and plead for the adoption OF
the principles of Christ IN the interest
of world peace, progress and prosperity.
Capt. A. S. Loudon Hamilton, soldier
and scholar. introduced as "the first
man changed at oxford" in 1921, out
lined the history of 'life-changing" as
developed since that date and explained
how the movement labors for spiritual
democracy and the Kingdom of God
upon earth. when one individual is
changed" he declared, Others follow
Gradually. a national awakening oc-
ours. Day by day we are changing the
destiny of the British Empire"
Purpose Of Movement.
The movement, Capt. Loudon Hamil-
ton insisted, is not new religion or
cult, but simply rededication to the
traditional religious doctrines Of
honesty. purity, unselfishness and love.
Brig. Gen. Peter Winser. another
veteran officer, crippled by the loss Of
leg. discussed the movement in
terms of the hunting field. repeating
the ancient axiom: IF you throw
your heart over fence. your horse
and you yourself will follow it. You
may fall, but if so you will be on the
same side of the fence as the hounds"
He brought prolonged applause from
the audience when he told how he
had enlisted jockeys and stable boys
in the oxford fellowship and found,
at last, a real purpose in life"
Miss Marie Clarkson of st. Hughes
College, oxford, spoke for "a fun
loving and adventure loving genera
ton of young people, most of whom
have been so wrapped up in them
selves that important things like re-
ligion have got left behind" But
1.-The best fun and the grandest ad-
venture" she said, lis to be found
by helping people to change them
selves into their best selves"

OTHERS VIEWS
EHRINGHAUS ATTITUDE

10 the EDITOR:
AS 1 listened to Governor Ehring-
haus' address on the tobacco sltua-
ton last night / was much impress
ed with the colossal egotism OF even
q governor who seeks to bOSt in the
limelight of past accomplishments
while having done nothing to help the
tobacco growers in the crisis in which
they found themselves with the inval-
:dation of the AAA. The cost of a
special session of the legislature, a
few thousand dollars is insignificant
compared with the many millions we
stand to lose with uncontrolled pro-
duction.
The governor processes great salts
faction at the commentator he has
received for his refusal to convene
the legislature to consider a compact
between the tobacco growing states.
I cannot help but wonder if most of
his commentator did not come from
people who know little and care less
about the tobacco farmer. I certainly
saw no disposition to agree with his
attitude. among the farmers them
selves, when they met at State Col
lege last week.
The governor has pointed out va
rious flaws and weaknesses in the
compact law as passed by the State
Of Virginia, and though this was en-
acted approximately two months ago,
he has made no attempt to revise or
rewrite 1t in such a way that it would
be practical, nor has he encouraged
it's passage in South Carolina by Civ
ing it the sanction Of his approval.
Instead he has adopted a do-nothing
policy and now that it seems to be
too late for a compact to be effective
this year he apparently rejoices in
the fact and says II told you So"
His villification OF our advisory
committee appears to me to be most
Unjust Upon them he saddles the
blame for the tremendous increase
in supply over consumption last year,
while in reality the increase was due
more because of unusually favorable
weather and the sale of scrap than
to the 10 per cent increase in acre
age. He also criticises them for at
tempting to secure compact legisla-
ton, which the farmers themselves
demanded, when he himself refused
them utterly.
His fear that the Carolina tobacco
farmers, would become a population
of wholesale bootleggers hauling ILL
cit: tobacco three or four hundred
miles to Georgia, where the ware
houses close before we open here, or
to Tennessee, where there are no
bright leaf markets, seem fantastic
and ungrounded.
With production uncontrolled in
1886, indications are that surplus
will be piled up that will depress the
market for years to come. The out
look for the tobacco farmer is GER
tainly not bright. I'm afraid that
Ehringhaus of North Carolina and
Talmadge of Georgia have inundated
the tobacco grower upon the alter of
personal prejudice.

Black-Draught's
Good Reputation

The confidence people have in
Black-Draught, built up from salts
factory use so many years, is shown
in its being handed on from one gene
ration to another. 1t must be good to
have such a strong following.
Here is typical reference to Black
Draught by a satisfied user:
1--WE have used Black-Draught for
twenty years." writes Mr.. Fred Rich
ardson, of Hartshorne, Okla. my
mother has used it for fifty years. It
is the best medicine I know anything
about. I take it for sour stomach and
constipation, or when I feel sluggish
and bad. Black-Draught is splendid
to regulate the bowels, cleansing them
of waste matter, Kidding them of con-
stipation. I expect to use it twenty
five more years if I live and it gives
satisfaction as it has always given"

too many secOnd-raters.
Particularly in these times has he
been valuable stanchion against the
rabble-writers, the propaganda play

theatre. He saw clearly and wrote
lucidly; he asked that the theatre
present recognizable human beings in
recognizable human situations, and
when a, play was less than fine his
article upon it was often the merriest
and most memorable monument to
the script.
Hammond was not, like so many of
his brethren, simply playwright who
had failed. He was a critic from the
beginning. and very superior critic,
as much an artist as any of the play
wrights whose works he assayed. I
can think of no one the theater will
