Bau AFTER lOO YEARS l?r. S. T. Hrilmn Tells Unusual Story. Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallmau told a reporter of The Spartanburg Herald a Yery wonderful story relative to the exhumation ol the body of a preacher after it had been in the grave over 100 years. The facts were supplied him by people who w re thoroughly conversant with theD" and whom he served as pieacher twenty years ago. They are persons of unimpeachable veracity. Here is the remarkable nar-' rative in Dr. Hallman's own words: , "As far back as 1750 there were a lew German Lutheran churches in | this state, among which was the old St. John's Lutheran church in New berry couny. The land on which the building stood was held under a grant from George III, King of England. "These immigrants who had come here to escape the religious persecution of the old country found it very difficult to get pastors from their Fatherland. There was then in the community of S.t John's church a German school teacher by the name G f TiVpH Prirlf Tnaonh W olio rn a learned man, but not then an ordt.ined preacher. This the writer was told by the very old people of that section "when, years ago, he was pastor there. "The people, In their hunger for the preached word and for the sacrament of the church, naturally turned to their scholarly teacher and plead with him to fi.l thRt sacred office. He finally consen^bd and became pastor of that church: History has not recorded the duration of his pastoral labors but he died in 1816, and had bc*gun his services there sometime in 1787. He was buried in a wooded section near his home. There his body renewed for one hundred and four years, a suitably inscribed stone marking his place of rest. "Then the pastor of St. Paul's church near by, (the Rev. S. P. Koon) and officers and friends, decided to remove his remains to the church cemetery where his grave would be carefully kept. When his body was taken up the skeleton of the man wasl vuv>c in 11a euurny, me xeein snowing the dental work of lonr<? go and the arm ligaments so firm that a physician who was present could not pull | prmiMMIIIIIItMMIIIiaiMMIIIMIMMIIIMIIIMt 11 Ml II tttl t Five South * Missior .

They will be engaged chiefly in evangelistic, educational, medical and agricultural work and will be stationed at various points in these fields. While a large number of new workers have been sent out by the Board since ' the beginning of the Campaign, at ilaast 100 other capable young men and women could be employed to advantI age if they were available.

Of the more than $25,000,000 that haa been collected in cash on the 75 Million Campaign to date, about $5,i 00,000 has gone to foreign missions.

Part8 of the lining of the walnut coffin remained, with the tacks which were used. "A strange fact rem'ains to be told. The root of a tree had made its way down on one side of his coffin bed pussed around his feet, and up on the other side, and then twining about his head, as though intended to hold the precious remains together. "Beyond all question, here is the stamp of God's approval on the gospel ministry of one who surrendered the office of teacher for that of winning souls to Christ. God. who knows the end from the beginning, watches over his remains over one hundred years, and now suffers the silent voice of Rev. Frederick Joseph Wallern to speak in tones of infinite force to the age of growing skepticism." o Boll Weevil Advice. Yorkville Enquirer. C. P. Blankenship, of Fort 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 boll weevil and learn what they could as to how to protect themselves. In conversation with Views and Interviews Monday Mr. Blankenship told or 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 I did just what you fellows are doing. I went out to Alabama to investigate the boll weevil. I made my headquarters at Birmingham and I remained there a month, spending the time making trips out into the state, observing thf operations of the weevils and talking to the farmers. "Well, after seeing all I could and earing all I could 1 made up my mind that I knew all about it.

Enlarge European Field. As a result of the Campaign, South ern Baptists have been enabled tc greatly enlarge their work in Europe. They have carried on mission work in Italy since 1870, but now ihey have opened up new work in Jugo-Slavia, Hungary and Roumania, and have made a beginning, through the distribution of Bibles, in the i'kraine and Southern Russia and Siberia. To act as the European representatives of the Board in this enlarged program, Dr. and Mrs, Everett Oill of Kansas City were recently named. They will probably make their headquarters in Switzerland. The first work Southern Baptists I have ever done looking to the evangelization of Mohammedan lands has Just been undertaken in Palestine ,md ' Syria, and Dr. and Mrs. VV. A. Ham'.ett of Austin.

The boll weevil can get cotton wherever you plant it. ir 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 cotton at |all. You might keep on experimenting with four or five acres to the plow and by good luck you might get a little.' "I told him that I had not been [planting more than four or five acres to the plow for the past thirty years I and he said: " 'Well that's all right. You go ahead; the boll weevil will never lrurt you much nohow.' " 0 "Motor Foot" Sew Disease. Atlanta. Ga.. Sept. 10?A new disease has been discovered, according jto Atlanta automobile men. Strangely enough it is not one whose cure deIpends upon the use of alcoholic beverages. It is "motor foot," and con-j sists of a displacement of the metatarsel bones of the right foot due to continued pressure upon the accelerator of a motor car. It is said to be very painful. The worst thing about this stylish trouble is that it makes walking hurt and interferes even more with golf, tennis and other uctive vacation sports, leaving the poor victim delicately poised on his good foot between the devil and the deep blue sea, with no way to amuse himself .(except by sitting in a chair or walking on his hands. ! Of course there will be mean : souls to ask. "Why step on the accel. ,erator so often? Why try to pass all ^the other cars on the road?"

The lure of high prices will be the down-fall of the farmer. This for two reasons: The high prices will cause a large acreage to be planted- The boll weevil will get in his best work when the acreage is large. This year should be an enduring lesson to the farmer. A seven million bale crop is worth more to the farmer than a crop of sixteen million bales." o WHY NEWSPAPERS HAVE FAILED Aiken Journal and Review. The reason the newspaper graveyard is so full is shown by an editor who has been investigating the cause of the high mortality. He figures out that in 1907 wages were at 100. In 1914 they had advanced to 178, and in 1921, the figure was 393. Newsprint from 100 luniDed to "177 in 1914, and to 623 in 1920. Newspaper postage, which cost the normal ofj 100 in 1917, was 147 in 1914, and 337 in 1921. Ink was 100 in 1907, 200 in 1914, and today stands at 331. Editorial expense advanced from 100 in 1907 to 120 in 1914, and 241 in 1921. Miscellaneous expenses went from 100 in 1907 to 125 in 1914, and to 244 in 19.21. By taking the average of all newspaper costs, it was found that while the average or index number of 1907 was 100 in 1914 it was 159 and in 1921 it reached the high mark of 411. More than 4,000 newspaper publications have thus gone out of existence in the United States and a corresponding number of them In Canada. o THAT COASTAL HIGHWAY ROUTE Dillon Not Selected in Preference to Marion, Says Correspondent. The following correspondence in regard to the Coastal Highway api peared in Tuesday's News and Courier: Florence, Sept. 12?Due to inaccuracies in the information furnished This correspondent by the secretary of the meeting here Wednesday of the ;executive committee of the South Carlolina division of the South Atlantic Icoastal highway, for which It is clear 'the secretary was not altogether responsible because of many sided discussion going on at the time. It was made to appear in the report of the proceedings that in mapping out the route of the highway through South Carolina, Marion County had been eliminated in favor of Dillon and that the executive committee had adopted a resolution deploring the Pee Dee bridge situation which was in danger / Eveiyth ?ni I riNG, BEFIEMBBft IS. 1MU. of being loet because of "personal and official Jealousies and squabbling." This was manifestly an error inasmuch as the route through Dillon would have been just as Impossible as the route 'through Marion, in the absence of the bridge. The committee decided that it were better to develop the route via Cheraw where there is already a bridge until the question of a site for the bridge over tthe Pee Dee river between Marion and Florence counties had been settled. There were no representatives present from the Marion side and the committee deferred mapping out the Wilmington branch through the two counties until the Marion, as well as the Dillon people had been heard from. The first thought of the committee was the diversion of tourist travel to the South this way, and the Pee Dee bridge being still up in the air, the Cheraw route Beemed to present an opportunity to bid for it. As to the personal and official jealous and squabbling this correspondent is well authorized to say that there is no squabble between the people of Marlon and Florence counties. They stand as a unit on the question of the Pee Dee bridge. If there is any squabble it is between the representatives of the two counties on the one hand and the highway commission engineers on the other. It i8 true that Marion county representatives are unalterably opposed to the site selected by'the State highway engineers and will not, according to my information, have anything to do with it. ' Florence is apparently ready to join in on either of the sites proposed, the one above the railroad bridge, as recommended by the highway commission or the one at Mar8 Bluff Ferry, the choice of the Marion side, but it is certain that in the event the engineers disapprove of the Mors Bluff site, the Florence people will stand by Marion and build the bridge at the last named site without government aid- The proposition to build a toll bridge by the two counties is gaining ground. It is argued that the revenue would soon pay for the bridge. The impression that dissension exists between the Marion tlnd Florence people has arisen through the delay in gettnng an expression from the State highway . engineers and the impatience that has resulted. The people in the two counties want a bridge over the Pee Dee river. They have been making every effort to odjust the matter of a site. Surveys of the Mars Bluff Ferry site have been furnished, but not word has come from the authorities, who appear to be reluctant to voice their opinion. The federal bureau put8 it up to the highway commission and the highway commission passes the buck on to the federal bureau and so there the matter stands. Representative Hughes, ot Marion, with whom this correspondent talked today, declared that he had made every effort to get the highway commission and the federal bureau to say one thing or the other, but that they appeared to be playing "hide and seek" with the proposition.

Representative E. T. Hughes, Marion'' County,, chairman of the Atlantic Coastal Highway Association and author or the bill providing for the Pee Dee bridge gave out the following state- * ment: "My attention has been called to an article appearing in The State and The News and Courier of September 8th in regard to the location of the coastal highway, in which article itwas stated that in the conference at Florence, Marion had been eliminated from the highway, because of petty and official jealously and the uncertainty of Pee Dee bridge. I do not know who constituted this conference or where they got their right to locate roads, and I do not care anything about that part of it, I only desire to deny the portion relating to'this coun- < ty. This county has not in any way obstructed the building of Pee Dee bridge, but has only contended for it to be built where the bridge commission has located it, and where the highway commission said that they would endeavor to build It and there has been nothing left undone to further the progress of thiB project. The matter is in the hands of the highway commission, and if there is any delay it is due to them, and not to Marion county. I believe that this report emanating from Florence was made by those that desire to force this county to build a bridge where the people did not want it. and the threat to eliminate Marion from this highway would bulldoze our people Into complying with their wishes. It has only made us more determined." o To enjoy God deeply we must con- / suit Him daily. il . WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED OfUR supply of flower bulbs. Large assortment to choose from.
