PHONE 22 CAMPAIGN TO AID MILL OPERATIV PAL SXPAN8ION TO BftAOK GREAT FI1LQ AMONG WORKERS NBKDS OF SOUTH POINT Opportunity For Intslleotual And Spiritual Cultur# Laoklng Among Industrial Populatlona, Raport Shows The program ? of the Episcopal Churoh to expand educational, social And relig lous work In cotton mill com munities, now being developed by load er* of thm Church's Nation-wide Cam I***?. It expected to work toward the behefit of hundreds of thousands of employees of cotton mills in the South. fcxponditiares of hnndrede of thou* ?and 4 of dollar* for build lug churches, parish houses and church echoole, and for the addition of score* of worker* to the present strength of the church in the cotton mill district 1 are rec ommended in reports by investigators, who worked upon order of the execu tive committee of the campaign. Estimated on a pre-war basis, tbe re .port says, the cotton mills of South Carolina alone represent an invested capital in exceeT of $75,000,000, with an estimated weekly payroll of $1,000,000. Average wages now being paid the workers are said to range from $16 to $36 a week, with family incomes ag-# gregating often several times as much. The report shown that South Caro lina alone haB 152 cotton mills in 19 counties .ranging from one to thirty in a county. In this territory, with pop ulation recorded at 226,820, there are 62.904 mill workers, wnile 190,268 per sons are dependent upon mill pay. The need for expansion of Episco pal Church work in and among the mill employee** is shown in the South Carolina report by the statement that of the twenty-nino cotton mill coun l ties, four are without Episcopal churches, whilr of the eighty-seven communities in these counties, fifty five are similarly lacking. In eighty of tho eighty-seven communities where cotton mill workers are centered there ' is apparently no special work among them. The report indicts the Church for failure adequately to minister to the needs of the rural communities, but states that the concentratloi^pt, rural population into industrial ilistrlcts makes possible tho reclamation of this lost ground through the proposed Na tion-Wide Campaign program of ex pansion iu these districts. The problem which the Church's program must eolve, it is stated, is to provide opportunities for intellectual and spiritual culture which the mill workers do not now have. Thei.e peo ple, the report says, come for the most part from the quiet life of the farms. They have been brought to gether in crowds, work long hours, and, at the end of the week, seek sn outlet for their restlessness and nervous energy in what . 'pleasures tbey may .find. The business of flie Church, the report sets forth, will be to provide pleasures that will, be. at once of a beneficial and congfrocti**i character ac??to counteract thp hai%n ful propaganda that has been increas ing current throughout the industrial centers of the South. HIGHER SALARIES FOR CLERGY SEEN BY EPISCOPALIANS INADEQUATELY PAID RECTORS AND MISSIONARIES TO BE AIDED BY NEW DEVEL 9 OPMENT OF NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN Higher salaries for all Inadequately paid Episcopal clergymen, to meet the high cost of living, are to result from the eoolal, educational and spiritual ?voces* of the Ohuroh's Nation- Wide Campaign for broader fermnan service, II Is expected. Southern leaders of the Churoh are behind the movement, which received the endorsement of the General Convention of the Church at Detroit. Approximately one-half the clergy of the Church, According to a recent survey, are reoctrlng less than $1,500 a year, which Government economists say lc the minimum amount to make possible the detent maintenance of two or three. Prominent laymen of the Episcopal Church, members of the national committee of the Nation wide Campaign, urged that eufflclent funds tor provide every clergyman with at leaat a living wage be made a .defi nite aim of the Nation wide Cam paign. Among the laymen responsible for the recommendation are R. I. Man ning, former Governor of South Car olina; Jt H. Pershing, o f Denver, a cousin of General Pershing; James R. Strong of Short Hills, N. J.; Oli ver J. Sands of Richmond, Va.; Fred- I erick J. Bowne of Utlca, N. and Samuel Mathew of Cleveland,. Ohio. As a result of their recommendation, Che executive committee of the cam paign made an addendum to the na tional campaign budget covering the amount necessary to give the em ployees of the various General Boards of the Church, lnoludlng the mission ary clergy, a ealary "sufficient for feefr reasonable requirements, livery Vplsoopal Diosses In the United States was inatrueted to surrey the financial conditions of Its own cleivy, and to ad dto tlelr nmy ot Diocesan needs sums necessary to hmure proper anla* Through ji hoax perpetrated by an un kuowit person at Atlanta Sunday night an address. by Vice President Marshall before an audience of several thousand persons at the auditorium armory was broken 'up by the false announcement, that President Wilson was dead.

Fire Protection We beg to call your attention to the constantly increasing cost of labor and ma terials, and the consequent increase in the value aof buildings, machinery, merchan dise and household effects, and would recommend that you look over your insurance with this in view, and advise us how much additional insurance you require. As you know, the cost to construct a buildling today is from 35 to 100 per cent more than it was five years ago, and even taking into consideration depreciation, the replacement value, which is the adjustment basis in case of a fire, is greater than the cost of the building a few years ago. Machinery, merchandise and household effects have also increased in like proportion. c. P. DuBOSE & COMPANY Telephone 43 Real Estate and losoraace ?,
