Waddell Pi?tfc of Abbeville, preached an able sermon Sunday morning at the r First Presbyterian Church to thej graduating class of Chicora College. | Despite* the inclemency of the j weather, a large congregation had i assembled to hear the discourse, / which was delivered with eloqeunce and force. In the introduction to his sermon the Rev. Mr. Pratt said that the Bi- i ble was intended for the- common j people?for the man on the street,:1 and that the translators had trans-j' lated it in such fashion that it was 1 readily comprehensible to the aver-j1 age man. But, he said, the use of J the word '^substance" was more forj1 the scholar than for the average 1 9itizen; it was more or less of a slip 1 tnd the word translated "substance", hould have been translated "title de?d," he said, in order to be clear. : ^ He then spoke of the kind of faith'* that constitutes a "title deed" to fu-^ ture things. Continuing his discourse 1 he developed three main points, the.1 first being that .believers would 'be'1 perfect in: Qh$i$ti.Jpsus; that they' < would have a perfect environment < j * I A ii 11 r i i' .'/j1 : i'l ana mat tney wouia De participators ' and sharers in God's perfect uni- i verse.

J., May 27.? "There can be no universal prosperity in America until the cotton growers of the South get a square deal," declared Richard H. Edmonds editor of the Manufacturers' Record, in ad dressing today the opening session of the 23rd annual convention of the American Cotton Growers' Association. ' " "We are not asking for government paternalism. The South is not seeking any favors. What it does ask is that the cotton crop shall be regarded not as a sectional product but as a great national asset," he continued. "Never since 1865 have the cotton producers attained a fair measure of prosperity. Every effort* to better prices for them have been vigorously asailed in manufacturing and financial circles in the East and in England. . "If the South had never produced a bale of cotton it would have been infinitely better off today. Without cotton the South would be the center af the food producing power of America." The convention cheered when Gen. L. D. Tyson of Knoxville, Tenn., who commanded a brigade in the Thirtieth Division, declared it was North and South Carolthians and Tennesjeeans who preceded by tanks and mpported by Australians, first broke the Hindenburg line at Bellecouxt. "I'm for a league of nations because tremendous standing armies throughout the world are the only alternative," General Tyson declared Vice President Thomas R. Marshall told the association in session here today that he wanted to sea the railroads operated by their owners. "I think, nevertheless," he added, "that the powers of the interstate commerce commission should control not only of the physical property but the securities of interstate transportation corporations. I think that body should have the richt to ?ar'rm more railroads shall be built through territory already adequately served. "It is my opinion also that the waterways should be links*! u]f with the railroads in the creation of a complete transportation system. This plan might go a long way toward overcoming rate making , combinations by railroads. I want the government tp lispose of the greatest merchant marine in the world to private corporations. Pocket whatever loss there may be as a part of the losses of war and give the American manufacturers an opportunity to get into the world markets. "I am unalterably opposed to government ownership of anything the government does not have to have. The real weakness of government wnership of anything is that there is nobody to cuss, nobody to ^ue and nobody to reward. I never knew much good to come of anything in which men 'had no hope of reward orhofior.",r'v? _ ~:W ilfSbi-iB utterly to run a jftjibping; .fcastoeai B^atts of congas Jftat>,reiquwB?dqto{k -iRSteB&ii sudden changes of p<^c^"Vf{i "power .to fix rates as circumstances require. Mr. Marshall said he hoped there would be no more "remedial legislation" for the benefit of ainy class and declared he believed wages in America could not be reduced. AMERICAN AIRPLANE . MAKES FIRST TRIP ACROSS THE OCEAN Washington, May 27?Blazing the way of the first air trial from the western to the eastern hemisphere, the United States navy seaplane NC4, under Lieut. Comndr. Albert Cushing Read, swept into the harbor at Lisbon, Portugal today, the first airship of any kind to have crossed the Atlantic ocean under its own power r.nd through its natural elenent. Taking the air at Ponta Del Gada, Azores at 6:18 a. m., Washington time .on the last leg of the transiceanic. portion of the voyage from Elackawey Beach, L. I., to Plymouth, Eng., the NC-4 covered the 900 niles jn nine hours and 43 minutes, naintaining an average speed of bet;er than 80 knots an hour. The total .1 ?x.j- a! xt e j iiapseu nyin? lime irom iNewiouna!$nd to Lisbon was 26 hours and 41 ninutes. At the first opportunity the big jlane will continue to Plymouth, 775' lautical miles to the north. Posdblyj Uommander Read can stnrl tomor row. The navy department howevi it makes little difference \^en 1 completes the journey. Th? gre; object of all the efforts lavished c the undertaking, navigation of a se plane across the Atlantic thrcu? the air has been accomplished. Twei tieth century transportation hi reached a new pinnacle and the U] itod States navy has led ^he way. Weather to Blame. Navy officials emphasized that tl long delay at the Azores wa3 due i the weather and to no weakne-j; < the machine or its daring crew, n< to any failure of the carefully la: pfans of the department to guide tl flyers to their destination. The 3 destroyers strung from Ponta D Gada to Lisbon reported with mi chine like precision today as tl flight progressed. The plane wi never off its course, and thero wi no moment* when officials in . Was! ington did not know within a fe miles where it was in the air / To maintain adequate communis tion for this stage of the journey tl destroyers stuck to their posts afti the flying boat had passed, relayir back to Ponta Del Gada reports fro: ships farther eastward. The cha was not broken until the plane wi safely moored &>r the night near tl cruiser Rochester at Lisbon. For the next few hundre 1 miles \ his epoch making journey Comma: der Head and his crew will be with: sight of the Portuguese or Spani! coast in the sweep northward. Skir ing the coast of Cape Finisterre th< will head out across the boy of Bi cay to sight Brest, the most wester point of France. Thence direct Plymouth. The destroyers that w guide them - acront; ^':e ?ay wcre 8 ready in position tonight provide with the flares and bombs that hai made the trip safe thus far exce] for the fog that forced the othez tv machines of the seaplane divisio the NC-1 and NC-8 out of the fligl after they had safely negotiated vi tually the entire distance from Nei foundaldn to the Azores.
