SMITH OUTLAWS
LOWER GRADES
UNDER LOW MIDDLING NOT TO
BE TENDERABLE.
Senior Senator from South Carolina
Explains Workings of His Latest
Cotton Measure.
(P. H. McGowan m The State.)
Washington, Feb. 3.—By the pas-
o< the “carry over" bill of Sena
tor Smith last night, cotton less than
seven-eights of an inch long, and be
low the grsde of “low middling" will
not hereafter be tenderable on cotton
oontraot*. the net result being that
twllias," “snaipa,” “dog tail” and other
inf trior grade* or types will not be
counted in the general estimate of
“cotton on hand.” The present method
of taking this low grade cotton and
counting it with that above “low mid
dling” and of more than seven-eights
inches in length, has had the effect of
depressing the market There will be
no more of this hereafter when the
house, as the senate has done, passes
this bill and it becomes law.
Explaining this bill thoroughly to
The State's correspondent today. Sen
ator Smith said: “I wish, in addition
to whatever may have been sent out
by the press associations you would
give this to The State m detail. The
fact that low grades of cotton have
heretofore been counted as real halves
has bad the veiy deleterijus effect of
lowering the price of the staple. Now,
with a count made by the secretary
of agriculture and the good cotton
separated from the had. ne-essarily
thousand* of hales will go out of the
count.
“It is recognized here generally to
day that with the enactment of the
McNary-Haugen bill at an early dale
and the prasage cf the bill just re
ferred to, cotton growers, bankers,
merchants ami others dealing in the
„ staple will get on the up grade.’’
The Smith bill, in the main, is as
folh'-ws: w
“The secretary of agriculture is au
thorized a^d directed to make and
publish, in addition to the cotton re
ports now being made by him, a re
port of the number c,f bales of cotton,
grad and staple, known as the “carry
over” on hand August 1 ,1927. Su h
report shall he made on or before
September 1, 1927, and shall be based
upon an accurate and exhaustive cen
sus, taken under the direction of the
secretary of agriculture between June
1 and August 1, 1927. cf the number of
^ hales of .staple, stored or held by any
individual, firm or corporation, in any
place or establishment in the conti
nental United States. Any such indi
vidual, firm or corporation who, be
tween June 7 and August 1, 1927, sells
or otherwise disposes of any such cot-
| ton subsequent to its examination and
classification as hereinafter provided,
shall, cn or before August 4, 1927,
make a full report to the secretary of
agriculture on the number of bales,
* ajfrade and staple so sold cr disposed
'of. Any individual, firm or corpora-
■:tron who fails to make such report
ahall be guilty of a misdemeanor and,
Upon conviction thereof shall be pun

“It shall be the duty of every owner,

Things You Should Know

THE ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE
I womf?r tf my reader* some
time* pau.v U> think of the hbund-
lea.s jrivileges that men and wo
men possess? There i.s'nothinR in
or on this big, round earth -no,
nor in ti e skies above, that is not
ours to lay hold of, and us? as w®
please, so long as we respect the
rights of our fellow-men and wo
men.
Yet, man is the only created
being that abuses his divine per
mit, well knowing that he must
suf er by so doing. Like the spoil
ed child, he sprees, does excesses
in everything debauches his diges
tive, eliminative, nervous and sex-
-ual systems—there is no privilege
that he does not abuse—and the
penalties arenas sure as today’s
sunset!
The abuse of privilege is man
kind’s most outstanding sin; we
ought to be asham.-d of ourselve.--,
—blessed as we are above all ani
mate species, and defiantly indulg
ing our appetites as if we were
damageproof. Who among us has
ever observed one of the so-called
lower animals violating the natur
al law ? Violating the law of right
living? They are seldom ill, and
usually live out the full expecta
tion of life unless man intsrfe.j?.
Excesses in food and drink; ex
travagance in our output of ener
gy; prodigality in things which
are sacred; intemperance in so-
called luxuries; defiance within the
orchard of forbidden fruits—all
these are producers of suffering
ard unhappiness, curtailers of life
itself. I am not sermonizing,— t
am arguing for temperance in ALL
things, and against the violation
of our God-given privileges, know
ing that life health and happiness
are the sure rewards. Right liv
ing will, in time, do away with
the doctor and his gripful of “pel
lets.” There is nothing that we
may not use; the danger lies in
abuse. '

MAKING OUR HCfMES CHRliTIAN
LESSON TEXT—Eph.
OOLDEN TEXT—Lit os lovo on* an
other for lov* Is of God.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Th* Child at
Horti*.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Obedience at Horn*
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Unselfishness In the Home.
TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—How to Mak* Our Homes Chris
tian. ‘
I. Th* Importance of th* Horn*.
The oldest and most Important In
stitution in the world is the family.
It Is the foundation stone upon which
all other institutions are built In
the measure' that the home is kept
pure and strong will the church, so
ciety and the nation be pure and
strong. *
II. Th* Makars of th* Home.
The foundation upon which the
home Is built 1* marriage, and the
makers of the home are the man and
the woman united hi holy wedlock.
III. Th* Obligation* of th* Member*
of th* Horn*.
1. The husband (Eph. 5:25-32).
(1) The husband la to love his wife
(v. 25). Observe—
a. The measure of this love is the
lore of Christ for His church. Christ
loved the church so that He gave
Himself for It His was a self-empty
ing love. The obligation enjoined then
on the husband is to manifest that
self-emptying love toward his wife.
b. The purpose of this love (rv. 28,
27). ' *
The purpose of the husband’s eelf-
emptying love is the perfection of his
wife’s character.
c. The ground of this love (rv.
28-30).
After all, the groand of the hus
band's love for his wife la his own
•elf. He that lov*th his wife loveth
himself.
(2) The husband is to be joined
onto his wife (r. 31).
When the time comes for e man to
establish a home, he leaves his father
and mother and la joined to his wife.
This results in th* creation of the new
unity of society.
2. The wife (Eph. 5:22-24).
She is to be subject to her own hus
band. This is not an arbitrary mat
ter. bat It la according to the divine
arrangement It la to be “as onto the
Lord.” It it important to Inquire as
to whst kind of subjection is enjoined,
in order to understand this, we must
grasp the figure which the apoetle in
troduces of Christ and th* church.
Christ’* loving the church la without
ulterior motive, as true love “seeketh
not Its own.**-* Since Christ gave Hin#-
self for the’church. He thus lifted the
church into union with Himself and
became to It Lord In the power of
His love. The church responds to this
love by lovingly recognizing the Lord
ship of Christ Just as the church
graciously coraee under the guidance
and direction of Jesus Christ does the
wife respond to the love of her hus
band. Headship of the man is the
divine order. Headship never sug
gests “boss-ship" nor governorship.
Observe with reference to this sub
jection—
(a) The motive (v. 22). “As unto
the Lord."
(b) The ground (▼. 23). “Th* bus-
hand Is the head of the wife.”*
(c) The extent of (r. 24). “In
everything."
3. The children (8:1-8).
The divine purpose in the union of
the male and the female In the bonds
of holy wedlock is the propagation of
the race. When God pronounced His
benediction upon the first pair He
said, “Be fruitful and multiply.”
(1) Obedience to parents (v. 1).
The ground of this obedience is the
fact that the parents stand in the
place of God to the child.
(2) Honor the parents (v. 2).
Obedience to parents is limited' to
the period of Immaturity. When the
cblld*“n take their place In the estab
lishment of new units in society they
are no longer under obligation^© obey
their parents. Two gracious promises
are attached to this commandment,
that it may be well with thee and
that thou mayest live long on the
earth. .
4. The parents (v. 4).
Doubtless the word “fathers* was
Intended to be inclusive of the “moth
ers.’’ ,
(1) Provoke not your children to
wrath.
This doubtless means that in the ex
ercise of parental authority there
should be avoidance of irritation.
(2) To bring them up in tW^nur-
ture and admonition of the Lord.
Nurture doubtless means to educate
and admonition means discipline.
