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

Mission Money Gets Results.
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.
This has made it possible not only to

were the bones separated at the wrists
nor were any of the bones decayed.
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."

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. I decided that

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.

" 'If you would take advice, you
would get all that fool idea out of
your bead that you ore too high up
for the boll weevil. 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.' "

"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?"

price doesn't drop before the staple
can be marketed, ought to be the
occasion for too great and genuine
thanksgiving to lug in any unpleasant
subject, but nevertheless the following
from The Union Times contains
so much truth and is so pertinent
that at the risk of being dubbed
a joy-killer we reproduce it,
and here it is: "The danger in the
present and prospective high prices
for cotton lies in the fact that many
farmers who, under depressed prices
had determined to plant but a small
acreage will decide to plant every hill
possible next year. 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."

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.

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

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.

LDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Wiaatoa
route of the Wilmington branch of
the Atlantic coastal highway to Dillcn
from the originally agreed upon,
course through Marion. 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."
