As a rule, prospective buyers come
to us strongly attracted by the

in which it is held by the owners.
With that preference to go on, we
leave them largely to their own de

serve, for themselves, the beautiful

The first delightful ten minutes in
which the superior difference in
the way the Liberty rides and

clinch the matter.

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.

9 OPMENT OF NATION

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

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

paign.
Among the laymen responsible for
the recommendation are R. I. Man

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.
