KARL LEHMAN HERE.
Made an Inspiring Address at the First
faptist Church Wednesday Evening.
Karl Lehman, foeld secretary of the
Christian Endeavor Union and editor
of The Christian Endeavor World,
made an inspiring address principally
to the young people of the city, in the
First Baptist church last Wednesday
evening. A large audience was held
in rapt attention while he spoke of the
opportunities for service awaiting the
younger people in the field of church
work. Enthusiasm, he spoke of, as the
foundation for any successful under
taking and said that enthusiasm rather
than numbers was most lacking 'In
Sout h Carolina. churelics today. lie
made the surprising statement that
South Carollia had a larger proportion
of its popmlation in Protestant church
es than iniy other state in the un ion,
but said that this advantage in num
bers was largely lost through lack of
ent husiasni In church 'work.
Mr. 1,11thman's p11iteular mission oil
this visit nwas to interest young people
in a plai for helping the government
In the next. Liberty Loan and ult imately
to turn tills help to the ad van tage or
the missionary soeeties. Ile asked that
the different young people's societies
subscribe for as many bonds as they
could pay for, the interest to go to the
missionary society funds and the prin
cipal to go to the same source when
the bonds are matured. After the pub
lic meeting, a meeting of younger peo
p11 'was held when bonds 'were sub
scribed by the B. Y. P. U. of the First
Baptist church, the Christian Endeavor
and the Junior Christian Endeavor, of

WHEAT GUARANTEE
CAUSES MUCH TALK
Stevenson Takes Part in Congress Dis.
cussion. Cotton Seed Losses.
Washington, March 3.-One of the
inportant bills which has been under
discussion here for several (lays was
that enabling the president to carry
out the price guarantee made to pro
ducers of wheat and protect the Unit
ed States against undue enhancement
of its liabilities. South Carolinians will
read with interest the folloewing rc
marks made on this subject by Conl
gressman Stevenson of Sothl Carolina:
"I ai somewhat inl sympatlhy niilh

s11pervising System proviled in tile

about, some of those kwho have not. had
any protection, and I am a litile ciri
oils to know'why they did not pit. some
protection In the bi!) for the protee
lion of some ilore: of the farmi1ers.
"The statement has beeni ma de
broadcast, an1d a great deal has been
made out of it, that nobody's price was
fixed except the wheat muan's price.
u'le mis-statement amounts to tihis,
that. nobody's price was fixed and
guaranteed except the wheat man's;
and I want to say to you that. there Is
a large class of farmers the price of
whose goods has 'been fixed but was
not guaranteed, and they are tied up
tight today and have lost over $100,
000,000. Take the matter of the cot
ton seed of the farmers of the South
a-bout 5,000,000 tons. It was selling at
$83 a ton. They came along and said
that they must fix the price of that to
prevent exorbitant. charges, and they
reduced the price to $69 a toin, imiak
ing a deduction at one lick from the
market -price of $70,000,000. They fixed
it at that and let it run along for a
while, until some of the middlemen and
some of the farmers had considerable
stocks of seed oil hani which they had
obtained at the price fixed by the gov
ernmiient, and then they rediied it an
other dollar a toll. 'T'lhey did not. guar
aitee that anybody could sell it. at
that. That took $5,00110000 more. Then
they took the linters and reduced the
price 3 cents a poind- -the linters thalt
were to he takeni by the government
for the manufacture of expflosives. 11.1
that reduction t hey caused the farmi
el-s of the Soith a loss of $ 21,000,000,
