His pictur of "Giant-Starvation" was an in ~rmt fha pressive one ana ne puim,cu .... - it seemed not only appropriate bu particularly the privilege of Luthei ans to help the lands where Luthe lived and worked. "The proposal of the world servic campaign of the National Lu'thera council to raise $1,800,000 to hel feed and clothe the famine stricken, lie said, "could only be accompanie by getting together?except Chris tianity, God could have made any re ligion on earth with himself and on man, but to make Christianity it re quired God and not less than tw 'men?all progress, whether socia " ^industrial or spiritual, demands cc operation." The speaker's analogies of how fir and water together produce power rain, sun and soil beget growth violin, bow and genius produce music were very impressive. In the evening Dr. Haynes spok to the Young People's society o Grace Lutheran church. His talk wa replete with interesting personal ex perience in Russia and Finland. "W as Americans have done much in th war," he said. "We helped put near ly all the kings out of business?o course, there are a few left?such a the king of clubs and spades an hearts and diamonds and these hav 'ignominiously ruined more lives per -? aw ignore of Europe.1 has man an i>UC He cautioned the young people not t be over boastful, for we owe mucl to our allies. "For Great Britaii . first gave us our language whereb; we are enabled to express our thanks Italy in the very beginning furnishei a man wise and brave enough to dis cover us and Franee produced th hero who helped to save us." He spoke of Finland as havinj stemmed the tide of Bolshevism an< but "for tnis uitie tuuuuj o and a half million people Bolshe vism might today be raging through out Scandinavia and probably ii England and France.

The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce held a called meeting Thursday night in the office of the president \ of the National Bank. Prof. Derrick, president of Newberry college who is the president of the commercial body as well, presided and announced that this meeting was called to consider two very important matters which are before the directors. First^ was the selection of a permanent secretary. Several let ters were read from applicants and steps were taken to have a persona? conference with the most likely one of thole, who have applied. The directors wish to make no mistak? in their choice of a capable man for this place and are leaving nothing undone to make the proper choice and will give out as soon as possible the name of the gentleman elected. Another matter which was discussed was the location for the offices of the Chamber . of Commerce and although .several locations have been - re?*?i :?J. -i J aiterea,'just, iiovtjiu> ueniiite ueeisiuu has been made* hut the probable location will be .on. Main street, in the main business-block t>f the city where it will be accessible and a fitting lome for. this organization. . Mr. Brown of Abbeville, who is connected with the Southern Railway ;ompany appeared before the directs and asked that consideration be *iven to their request for a change in freight rate, which will allow the Southern to more adequately serve :his section of the C9untry. , " * 1 J At tms meeting it was announced ;hat Hai Kohn had been unanimously selected as publicity man for the Chamber of Commerce. The future of this commercial bodyIs assured, for with a membership of about 400 and with a board of direc- , tors composed of the best business and professional men of Newberry to guide this organization it can't fail to become a factor in the growth, and welfare of this very fine community. Newbercy is now in high gear and the Chamber of Commerce is going to keep it there. * r - : . AMERICAN LEGION AND NEWBERRY COLLEGE TIE' Three weeks ago the score-stood 9 :o 9 at the close of the ninth inning n a practice game of baseball be;ween Newberry college and the - American Legion. This afternoon ' . (Tuesday) at 4 o'clock the tie will be )layed ott at vouege parK. This promises to be an exciting . *ame. It will be Newberry's last ?ame for this season, and of course she intends to close her season with a * victory. However, this may not jrove to be such an easy task. Since their last try out the Legion boys lave been rounding up new recruits, and claim* to have a heavy hitting > junch. Then, too, with Elmer Long, of Clemson fame, now pitching in old time form, they contend that they iave good reason to believe that the Legion is going to come back with the fndian's scalp dangling from its belt. The batteries will probably be: Newberry, Luther and Cromer,; Legion, Long and Scurry, F. Half of the proceeds from the gate eceipts will?be given to the local >ost of the American Legion to help it up its present quarters. Admission 35 cents and 20 cents. Some Ministers We Know.
