FACTS ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA A total of 360,000 acres was plant ed in oats in South Carolina in 1924. compared with 447',000 acres in 1923, and and 406,000 acres in 1922. South Carolina in 1924 produced 7,704,000 bushels of oats compared with 10,728,000 bushels in 1923, and 9,744,000 bushels in 1922. EP1SCOPALS ARE IN ROW OVER USE OF WORD “OBEY” ! { One Bishop Wants It Chit and Another Ndw U; r. 25.-1 GIANT PLANES TO CROSS SEA IN DAY Fmtk Factort MUa Haf, Fljrta, Bents For Trans-Atlantic Why New York, Aug. 25.—The protest of the Right Rev. Peake Johnson, Episcopal bishop of Colorado/against the elimination of the word “obey” from the Episcopal marriage cere mony, brought a quick response to day from the Rt. Rev. Charles L. Slat tery, bishop coadjutor of Massachu setts and chairman of the joint com mission on prayer book revision which proposed the change. From Hancock, N. H.. where he is having a vacation, Bishop Slattery sent to the Associated Press his re joinder summarizing the attitude of the commission. The amendment, which he says he feels sure will be ratified at the trien nial general conference at New Or leans in October, isf he says, in the interest of simplification and direct ness. He believes That the promise and the espousal being the same for the man and the woman will be stronger because of the elimination of “obey” and further, that marriage be ing a mutual relationship, the use of a mandatory expression has lowered the divine height of matrimony. Be low is his elaboration ofTris thqugnt: “By the Right Reverend Charles L. Slattery, D. D. % >- “The first reason for this change is historical. I am away from books but I think I am right in saying that no other historic church uses the word obey in the solemnization.- of matrimony. This is a time for sim plification and directness. We wish to be rid <*f unnecessary words and get down to the root of the matter. “The promise and the espousal as we shall now have them are the stronger for ” the elimination of ‘obey.’ The words are as full of weight and meaning as they can be packed. To promise to love and to cherish through all vicissitudes of life till death parts one from the other is vastly greater than any I mere formal obedience. To add ‘obey’ is an anti-clinjax. In the home where love and service really reign each obeys the other-' instinctively.

The value of South Carolina’s oat crop in 1924, based on farm prices of December 1, $7,472,880, compared with $8,797,000 in 1923 and $7,405,0q0 in 1922; ‘ they set a woefully bad example to their children of what love is. If people would take seriously the words as they will be in The—mar^- riage service of the future, they Would either be sure that their love for each other was the real thing or they would postpone the service t Within the next five years we shall see giant transatlantic airplanes that will carry at leas^. 75 passengers from j! New York to Firis in 26 hours, and at a cost less than present passage on large steamships. This prophecy comes, not from an idle dreamer, but from a hard-headed* practical designer of airplanes, a pioneer in aviation. He is Louid^Bre- guet, French airplane manufacturer, whose factory in Paris is said to turn out more machines on a commercial basis than any other plant in the world. While the working plans for such an air monster have brai completed,, according to reports puBljshed in the [ September issup of Popular Science Monthly, M. fireguet expects that the machine will not be built, tested, and ready for trial flight before five years. The machine will be of all-metal construction with twin bodies, capa ble of aljghting on either land or water. With a load of 75 passengers, freight, and baggage it will wei^h 55 tons. Power will be supplied by eight motors developing a total of ' 5000 horsepower. Luxurious passenger quarters in the two hulls and in the wings will include eight first class .cabins, 52 second class yid 15 third \class. The first class camns will be six feet high, six feet wide, and 10 feet long*. In addition, there will be a restaurant with electrical cooking equipment thruout, and a reading room and lounge where smoking will be permit ted. The crew of the^riant aircraft will, include, besides the commander, a chief electrican and assistant, two pilots, eight mechanics, four cooks, and a wireless operator. It has been estimaetd that the cost of building the plane—about $2,000,- 000—will be covered by receipts from 2000 hours flying time. The passen ger fare for each trip, it is predicted, will average about $200. According to present plans, the transatlantic flight in summer will be charted on a non-stop course between New York and Paris by way of New foundland, while in the winter a southern route will be taken by way of the Azores.

But I know that since it has not restrained thousands from breaking their marriage vows so plain that in 1923 and 10 bushels in 1922.

Marriage is a mutual relationship, not a sub ordination of one to the other. The moment there is a need to use force of such a word as ‘obey’ the mar riage has been lowered from its di vine height. The moment you begin I tc compare marriage to a business or an army where you rightly say there must be one head from whom implicit obedience must be required you show that you do not kndw what marriage is. ‘The appeal to b« rid of ‘obey’ is pot the cry of a silly worlding ask ing to have his obligation lessened. The man who wishes this change looks back through Christian his tory and he sees the light of Christ leading men to know what mutual love can do and be.- The world at one tmie, it is said, compelled the man to obey the woman, than the woman to obey the man. History (when we came into historic rec ords) is full of examples of the v/reckage of marriage when either form of subordination , prevailed. Slowly we are finding out what the love of Christ means. We find the meaning gradually growing clearer i.*i families, in nations, and in the world at large. We shall try in the Episcopal church to apply it to matrimony. We wish to tell, people that they must consider well what it means to love and to cherish one another till death parts them.* And because I believe that the elimina tion of obey will help to this end I trust that the action of 1922 will be passed in 1925 almost, if not quite, unanimous ly.” Millions of Dead Fish '' Cover Gulf Waters Announcing Important Changes in Bodies and Chassis ^ Hirshberg Paint Cou**^ *. i' SOLD IN CLINTON BT D.
