The increase in the price of cotton noted during the past several days has not tempted Mr. R. J. Love, prominent farmer living on York No. 3, to sell his holdings. Mr. Love, who is one of these farmers who raises food stuffs at home and cotton as a surplus has on hand now the cotton crop of the past three years. He is holding his three year crop because he doesn't have to sell. "I am not holding for any particular price," he said the other afternoon. "I may hold this year's crop also?just put it up along with what I already have on hand, you know. I haven't seen any boll weevils on my own crop this year although my neighbors all around have plenty of them in their fields and I guess that I have too. I don't know much about the boll weevil but I have an idea that next year is about the last year we are going to make any cotton to amount to anything and 1 am pretty well convinced that it will be a good thing for the country when we do have to quit. Lot# of people Taking Scrum. The physician talked about typhoid fever and the large number of people taking typhoid fever_scrum as he shot the first dose of the stuff into Views and Interviews' arm the other afternoon. "In this country," he went on to say, "it appears that more cases of typhoid fever develop in August and September than any other months of the year. More people take the serum in those months-than in other months of the year. During July I administered the serum to very few people. Along aooui me nisi m migusi mey iuk<iii to take the scrum in large numbers and I have liad time to do little else since that time. In some cases it makes the patient pretty siek and the i first 'shot' usually .causes the most trouble. But with most people it doesn't produce any ill effect. Sore arms resulting from administering the serum are caused by the use of, large needles in puncturing the arm. Some doctors like to use a large needle; but experience has convinced mo that where a sma'l needle is'used there i n<> trouble with sore arms. If every body would take typhoid serum at least once every three years the number of typhoid fever cases in the country would certainly l?c reduced to a minimum." Bo!I Weevil Advice. C. P. Blankenship, of Port Mill, was a member of the party that went into the lower part of the state not long ago to investigate the ravages of the 1 oil weevil and learn what they could as to how to protect themselves. In conversation with Views and Interviews Monday Mr. Blankenship told of .a talk he had with a Mr. Awl, of Allendale, who this year has eighteen hundred acres of boll weevils. "The first thing that fellow said to me was about like this," said Mr Blankenship: " "If you fellows have come down here hunting advice, you may as well go on back home, because although you can get advice in plenty, you will be just like the rest of us d? fools, and not have sense enough to take it. "'Why, year before last 1 did just what you fellows are doing. 1 went out to Alabama to investigate, the boll weevil. I made my headquarters at Birmingham and 1 remained there a monin, spending in<- umc imnuiih out into the state, observing- the operations of tlie weevils and talking to the farmers. "Well, after seeing all 1 eou'd and hearing all I eould 1 made up my mind that I knew all about it. T decided that the weevil would follow the coast line and that he would never get up as high as I was, so I just kept on planting, and you see. where 1 am? busted flatter than h?. "'If you would take advice, you would get r.ll that fool idea out of your head that you are too high up for the boll weevil. The boll weevil van get cotton wherever you plant it. If you could raise cotton on top of the Washington monument the boll weevil would get up there to eat it up." "'No,' Mr. Awl went on. 'I am not telling you not to plant any eotton at a'l. You might keep on experimenting with four or five acres to tin* plow and by good luck you might get a little.' "I told him that 1 had not been planting more titan four or live arris to rhe plow for the past thirty ytars, and he said: " Well that's all right. You go ahead the holl weevil will never hurt you much nohow.'" / ? METHODISTS MAKE GAINS. Membership Increases Despite Big War Losses. * ... ? ....in <,f 1 of)I members has Ixc.n inado by all divisions of 11 . * Methodist church in the I'nited States in the past ten years, despite great losses suffered by the denomination during the war, according to statistics compiled for presentation, to the decennial Ecumenical Methodist eonfer* enee. -which opens in l/>ndon next week. The figures compiled hv the l!ov. Dr. II. K. Dai ioil oi I'lninfield. N. J., former director of tho United States census, were made public here today, says a Chicago dispatch of Sepi tember 3. Methodist Sunday schools in the United States, however, the report says, show a net loss for the two years 1918, and 1919, of 293.96S. "an appalling figuto," although 1920 returns indicate that "the lost ground is being ' regained." Notwithstanding that Sunday school pupils of the denomination in this country were 200,000 less in number in 1920 than in 191S, the enrollment throughout the world shows an increase of 1,289,036 Methodist pu| pils for the ten-ynr period. Past Decade Worst In History. "Tt i<s n remnrknhlv trood showing that American Methodism has to present to the Ecumenical conference," declared Dr. Carrot's statement, "Delegates representing nearly 37,000,000 Methodist members and adherents will be in attendance. We can never forget that the past decade includes the ^vorst war in history and that, though our nation was an actual participant in its battles for only a year and a half, we suffered with our Allies its terrible effects. "The year 1919 was the hardest the j churches of America have known, at | lcas( since the Civil war. Methodism in most of its branches suffered, with the other evangelical denominations, actual losses. The Methodist Episcopal church suffered most of all, losing 43,262 in 191S, and 59,987 in 1919? 103,219 in two years?and the conditions were even worse if we leave out foreign mission fields, for the net loss in this country alone in 1919 was nearly 70,000. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, lost 16,404 in that year. I? toon ?t,? (l,l? ?iir>nn<1 fnf :i 11 nv.nn.

'Considering the heavy losses in the previous two years, it is remarkable that the total net increase of members and probationers of the Methodist bodies of the western section (United States) has been 1,255,091, ex reeding tbe increase of the previous decade, 1900-1D10, by nearly 282 000. The percentage of increase is also greater. For the decade ending in 19U), it was 15; for the past ten years yearly 17." "What Is the Trouble?*' Dr. Carroll, in commenting on the fact tlu'tt the.number of itinerant Methodist ministers, IM0D, representj ed a loss v>f 209 as compared with a j gain of (5,531 In 1910 for the previous I ten years, said; "Certainly, more niin sters arc needed instead of f< wer, for a growing Methodism. What is the trouble? Is the Methodist ministry , less attractive than it used to lie?" in conclusion. !>r. Carroll says: "Tli i ni*t increase of Sunday .school pupils I for all Methodist bodies (in tlie world) for 1 he ten vears is ],28:),02<i.

MILLS GROWING TREES. Paper Manufacturers Prepare to Produce Raw Material. The first survey of the actual cost of commercial plantinp of forests now ! being made hy the woodlands section of the American Paper and Pulp association, is showing sonic surprising results, indicating that the costs are much lower than has customarily hoen estimated, says a New York dispatch.

McGowan of Columbia presiding, the third annual convention of the South Carolina Depal tment, American Legion convened in the courthouse here shortly after 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. There were 243 delegates present at the initial session, representative of more than forty posts throughout the state and during the day other delegates came in which brought the attendance tonight up to a total of about 300 delegates. After the convention was called to order, Major Hey ward Mahon of Greenville, state commander took the chair and presided over the pro/.?AAin?n /vf U .? /Int. uct:uuiK& mi; uaj>. The convention wan opened with prayer by Rev. J. W. Carson, pastor of Newberry A. R. P. church. Following a song, "Pack Up Your Troubles,'* led by Morris C.

Cromer, represt ntative of the Rotary Club, a pleasing speaker and possessed of magnetic personality drew thunderous applause from the Legionairca when he declared that the "Rotary Club stands for service above self without any George Harvey in it at all." Vice Commander William G. McMcGowan of Columbia, in a happy H^tlo speech, responded to the several addresses of welcome. J. L. Nicholson of the Federal Board of War Risk Insurance with hcadi|uaiters in Atlanta, I made a brief address in yhi? h he spoke of tin* efforts of his department in bo- | half of disabled service men. Hei asked the co-operation and support of! the South Carolina department of the American Legion in his jvork and pledged himself to do his utmost to take care of those cx-scrvicc men in dire distress. Miss Lucy 10 Chamberlain, district representative if the American Red Cross, with nine southern states in her territory, addressed tho -convention briefly. She deplored the fact that in many communities of South Carolina there was a lack of local interest on the part of American Legion men and 1 she hoped that the Lcglonaires would awake to the possibilities of the Amer- < lean Red Cross for service. She was the recipient of much app'ausc when she declared that the American Red Cross was eager and anxious to place or rather to assist in 1 placing all disabled service men in hospitals throughout the country. Decidedly the outstanding feature of 1 tin- opening session of the convention '< was an address by Col. Alvin M. Owsley of Texas, chairman of the Nu- I tional American Commission of (he National American' Legion. A speaker of force and power. Col. Owsley iieid the undivided attention of hi audience for morn than thirty minutes. Raying tribute to tlie men of South Carolina who fought in the War Between tlm Sections and to those Soutli 1 Carolinians who helped to make ''my native state of Texas great." Col.

Americanism throughout the country and declared that it could only lie brought about Ihrouuh tho giving of a thorough education t<? every immigrant to American shores, "in order that the United States may become the greatest nation on the face of Clod's earth," hp declared, '"it is essential that we heroine a united nation of one tongue, one flag and one ideal." Scored Debs. The man or woman, he went on to say, "who won'd seek to destroy or embarrass this government is not a good Ameriean and has no place in this | nation." The speaker bitterly scored | "that corporal who calls himself Col. Harvey," a:-d he also paid hi:; respects in no uncertain terms to Ktigcne V. Orbs and drover Cleveland Hergdoll. lie was especially strong in his attack on Debs, declaring "that I'd rather give I Dcrgdoll the infamous traitor a clean l>i!l of heallli than Debs, because Debs has a following of 2.000.000 licople while Ilcrgdoll has no following." Speaking' of those forces within the* United States who would tear this government asunder, Col. Ows'ey declared that "the men who defended youri country from a powerful force without, is going to have to defend it from I those enemies within," and in conelusion pledged himself to lie found fight-| ! uig at all times for an America for Americans and for a citizenship 100 I per cent.

Talks Law and Order. "Law and order" and fts enforce ment was the subject of Governo Cooper's addresi. It was a heart b heart talk that the chief executive ha< with the youngjLegionaires in whicl he asked their a distance in maintain ing order and ll iv, declaring that i could never be I laintalned without i strong and heai hy public sentimen behind all efToi a. "The remedy fo lawlessness," he leclared, "is in break ing it with force mnd determination." He referred to lawless conditions ii South Carolina at the present tlm< with regret, declaring that "a repor from the superintendent of the penitentiary shows 'that a majority of tin prisoners in the penitentiary at th< present time are white men and tha most convicts are guilty not ' f murder but of la reedy in some form. "There arc some who say that tin governor and tlje sheriffs should sto] mob violence; but I tell you that wi can't do it without a healthy publii sentiment behind us. I'm not trying t< defend myself; I am not trying to de fend any sheriff but I tell you tha when there is tyi exhibition of mol spirit it is up to rfcalthy p'ub'ic sent! merit and not the officers to put ii down." "Referring to high taxation ir South Carolina, the governor declarec that while the appropriation for statr purposes last yearj wa3 about $7,000,000, the Federal tax collected fron South Carolina amounted to abou $28,600,000.

Paying tribute to the incn who served in the work war. General Butler declared that no' body ever did anything really groa without having the picture of a womar in his heart. He declared that th< World War veterans fought for th< preservation of women and childrei ;md American homes and that th< American though hoy only did what lit would gladly and eagerly do at anj time. American Doughboy. Paying tribute to the Amcrlcai Doughboy he declared that no othei nation could produce a soldier equal t( him because he is .a product of a peculiar civilization that more or less make! light of everything including death "The American Douathboy,# he said "went to France with the feeling toward the German soldier, 'now damr you. you started this war and we ar< going to fix you.'

S. T. Hallman Telia Unusual Story. Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallman tyld a reorter of The Spartanburg Herald a ery wonderful story relative to the xhumation of the body of a preachr after it had been in the grave over 00 years. The facts were supplied im by people who were thoroughly onversant with them and whom, he erved as preacher twenty years ago. 'hey are persons of unimpeachable eracity. Here is the remarkable narative in Dr. Hallman's oton words: "As far back as 1750 there were a ew German Lutheran churches .'n his state, among which was the old, It. John's Lutheran chtireh tn "Vewerry county. The land on which the uilding stood was held under a grant , rom George III, King of England. "These Immigrants who had come ere to escape the religious perseculon of the old country found it very Ifficult to get pastors from thei^ 'atherland. There was then in the ommunity of St. John's church a ierman school teacher by the name f Frederick Joseph Wallern?a learnd man, but not then an ordained reacher. This the writer was told by tie very old people of that section rhen, years .ago, he was pastor there. "The people, in their hunger fof the reached word, and for the sacrament f the church, naturally turned to their cholarly teacher and plead with him i> fill that sacred office. He finally onsented and became pastor of that huvch. History has not recorded the ural on of l\is pastoral labors but he led in 1816, and had begun his scrices there sometime in 1787. He was uried in a wooded section near his ome. i nere ius ooay reposea lor one . undred and four years, a suitable incribed stone marking his place of jst. 'Then the pastor of St. Paul's hurch near by, (the Rev. S. P. Koon) nd officers and friends, decided to amove his remains to the church emetcry where his grave would be arefully kept. When his body was iken up the skeleton of the man was tiere in its entirety, the teeth showing tie dental work of long ago, and the rm ligaments so firm that a physician 'ho was present could not pull .the sre-arm of the elbow socket; nor rere the bones separated at the wrists or were any of the bones decayed, arts of the lining of the walnut cofn remained, * with the tacks whjch rere used. "A strange fact remains to be told, he root of a tree had made its way own on one side of his coffin bed assed around his feet, and up on the ther side, and then twining about his ead, as though intended to hold the . rcciouc remains together.
