AN AMAZING RECORD.
The News and Courier has already
referred more than once to the article
published in the Manufacturers
Record of February 5, showing tho
amazing advance made by the South
agriculturally in 1919, and especially
in grain- production.
It will pay every South Carolina
business man to study these figures
in detail.
Every citizen in South Carolina
ought to know, but probably very
few do know, that South Carolina
has gone forward faster agriculturally
in the past three years than
any other State in the Union.
This is not a mattr of opinion.
The figures compiled by the Manufacturers
Record from the Governmest
reports prove it conclusively.
For the five year period 1913-1917
the average value of all crops in
South Carolina teas $212,168,000. In
1918 the value of all crops in South
Carolina was $456,504,000. In 1919
the value of all crops in South Carolina
was $520,522,000.
Only in ten other States, namely
North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri,
Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Nevada and Kansas, w^s the
value of all crops in 1919 greater
than in South Carolina.
It will be noted that all of these
other States are far larger in area
and far more populous than is
South Carolina.
South Carolina's percentage of increase
in the value of her crops exceeded
that of any other State.
"It is an interesting fact," remarks
The Manufacturers Record,
"that California, with all its vast
agricultural wealth, had a total crop
production last year of $45,00(f,00()
less than South Carolina."
y. How many South Carolinians
knew that? It is a fact which ought
to sink into the consciousness of ev
ery one of us. Compard with South
Caroline, California, agriculturally, is
standing still.
Yet South Carolina has only begun
to show what she can do. ?

BY MRS. BRADSTREET.

and husband and the police together

before the woman did herself
any harm. She is to be tried at the August
term of cou^ in Fairburn. Infatuation
of Qreen for the woman
Was said by the defense to have caused
him to take the money from the
bank.
Lunacy proceedings started against
Green last night by his brother were
halted today by Superior Court Judge
Hutchinson, who held that since
Gre^n had been convicted an<
tenced the courts had no jurisdiction
in the case. This will be fought out
at a hearing April 17. Green is under
a five years sentence.

Hir.HftJT PRM'R FOR Un,F.S
J. W. Walter Sanders, of Union, Is
the Purchaser.
News and Courier.
According to the Atlanta Journal,
J. Walter Sanders, of Union, has paid
for a team of mules the highest price
ever recorded, the sale relating to a
fine sorrel pair with a joint weight
of 2,800 pounds. The Journal article
says:
"What stockmen declare is the
world's highest price fo^ mules was
paid Wednesday morning at the National
Stock Yard in Atlanta for a
pair of mules shipped here from Missouri.
"The mules were a fine sorrel pair,
prize winners throughout the country,
their joint weight being 2,800
pounds. They were a special order
consigned to Weill Brothers at the
National Stock Yards, and were
bought by J. Walter Sanders, a banker
of Union, & C. for $1,500 for the
pair. The price according to Dr. Carnes,Vof
Oarens & Carnes, Atlanta vet
erinarlan, who examined the mules
for shipment to South Carolina, is
the highest ever paid for mules and
the mules, he says, are the finest he
has ever seen.
"Atlanta has long ranked as the
second largest mule market in the
world, being excelled only by St
Louis."

SAYS NEW YORK IS
WORSE THAN EVER. |
New York, April 4?Declaring that
vice and the open saloon liquors had
been flaunted in his face and offering
to go before the grand jury with supporting
affidavits from men who had
been with him in his investigations
of conditions in New York, the Rev.
John Roach Straton delivered a sermon
tonight in the Calvary Baptist
church in which he described the city
as "worse than ever," The crusading
clergyman told of a Saturday
night visit to various restaurants and
cabarets, giving the addresses, in
which indecent dancing and open
date-making were carried on, he declared.
"They were surging up and dowr.
the three large dancing floors in the
closest possible proximity," he said.
"The dances indulged in were indecent
even as dances go. We saw the
hootchy-cootchy,' the 'shimmy-shake,
and the 'cheek-to-cheek' dances.
"On every side were tables surrounded
by men and women, many of,
whom were in indecent postures, and.
were indulgig in indecent familiari-1
ties with each other.

CAVE BAD CHECKS.
South Carolinian Arrested at Fayetteville
for Issuing Phony
Checks.
Fayetteville Observer.
Within half an hour from the time
the warrant had been received and
placed in the hands of Detective Hewlett,
the officer had placed J. E/Hall
under arrest on the charge of giving
checks without having funds in the
bank. He was arrested at the Bragg
Hotel.
The officer went to the hotel this
morning in quest of Hall and when
he found his way to the room of Hall
and his wife> a denial was made that
his name was J. E. Hall. The officer
began to question him about being in
Marion, Florence and other South
Carolina towns and in a few minutes
Hall all but confessed by 'asking if
it was possible to pay the amounts
of the various checks and'have the [
matter dropped. Instead the officer
carried him to the police station.
He gave as his address Georgetown,
S. C., and the warrant came
from Marion. It is understood he is
also wanted in Florence on the same
charge. He will be held for a South
Carolina officer to come after him.

BIG OVERALL CLUB.
Three Thousand Men Join in Movement.
Birmingham, April 12?The Birmingham
Overall Club, with a membership
of 3,000, pledged to wear overalls
until clothing prices came down,
was formally organized tonight at a
meeting in the city courthouse.
Earlier in the day Birmingham
newspapers declined to comply with
a request of a committee of retail
clothiers that they cease publishing
items about the overall clubs, the retailers
claiming their business was
being injured.
Alvin Douglass, well known attor
ney was elected chairman of the
club and Theodore Lamar, originator
of the overall club plan was made
secretary.
Overall Day Named.
Friday, April 16, was set as the
day on which every member of the
club is to appear on the streets clad
in overalls and a solemn pledge was
taken that the denims will be worn
until the price of clothing "hits the
toboggan."
Organizations which joined t!?
club in a body included city hall employes,
court attaches, Louisville and
Nashville, Southern, Alabama Great
Southern and Illinois Central Railroad
employes, Birmingham street
car company employes and the Bessemer
Fire Department.
Membership lists had been circulated
in the larger mercantile establishments
of the city and those in
charge of the work reported enrollments
of 100 per cent.
Bitter attacks upon the cost of
clothing marked the meeting which
was attended by men in every walk
of life.
Strike Against Profiteering.
"The people have gone on strike
against profiteering in clothes,'' said
Mr. Lamar.
Telegrams from all parts of the
country were read by Secretary Lamar
indorsing the movement and asking
for information as to the best
means or organizing clubs.
Qualification for membership consists
simply in the ownership of one
pair of overalls. There are no dues.
Members are obliged to wear overalls
while at work and urged to do
business only with other men who
wear overalls. While blue denims
were recommended, other kilnds may
be worn.
Secretary Lamar stated that he had
inquired into the prices of overalls
and found out that the average cost
at the present time for pants and
jumper is $3.
"If I hear of anybody trying to
profiteer in overalls I will prosecute'
them myself," said Mr. Lamar, who is
a lawyer as well es a business man.
