VAST AUDIENCES SUNDAY I During Campuign More Than 100,000 Persons lave Ileard (G1reat Preacher; Free Will Offering of $212,654.80 Pre. sented Mr. Sunday by Spartanburg Cliizenl s. Sartanluirg, Feb. 19.---\Witlh the fill result inl dollbt unritil the end of time when it shall be known oil which side of the cross staiid the more than .100, 000 persons w ho have filed through the big tabernacle, the Billy Sunday campaign camne to a close tonight when, after .\ir. Suiday had preached his fourth serimion for the (lay, he was 1presented with a free swill offering of $22,65-I.80 by the citizens of Spartan burg. Never in the history of this city has any event attracted the attention that the uniday c-ampatgii has and never has an individuial coic to Spar tanburg who so firmly won his way into the heartstrings of everyone as Mr. Sunday has. It -as as if a great calamity had befallen the city toniglit, so evi(ellt was the feeling of grief and sorrow Onl every side. Singing "Traveling Home" the more than 8,000 persons were reluetant to leave the tabernacle tonight as Mr. Sunday, at the conclusion of his ser mon from the text "And he said to morrow," stepped from the platform to his dressing room. Previous to that he had lead the choir in the singing of the final song and in his accus tomed manner had shouted "Good night." Usually a lone response came back to this cheery parting, but tonight as hundreds realized that the evangelist was soon to leave Spartanburg, possi bly never to be seen by many of those in the building, huge chorus of "good nights" rang through the still night air, To those who have followed -the campaign throughout the strenuous gixe weeks it suggested the parallel of an invalid who lay critically ill for sIx wpe)s and then oenired. While everyone knew that the meeting Waq schedul94 to close tonight, hone seemed pi-@Ared for it and, as the last Moments drew nigh and Mr. Sunday held up his Bible for the last time, not a person in that vast throng stirred. Men and women who had stood in line for hours to obtain the privilege of hearing -Mr. Sunday for this last, and perhaps only time, stood breathless as he concluded his sermon. It was a few minutes after M1r. Sunday had con eluded and stood 'waiting to greet those hitting the sawdust trail that the full realization of it all dawned upon the audience. The choir rendered a number of songs In keeping with the solemnity of the occasion, among them being "Blessed .be the Tie that 'Binds." "God Be With You Till We Meet Again", and others equally as appropriate and sug 'gestive of partilg, Desipite the tAct that he had prcathbd four times, and more than 75 times during the six weeks cam b)aign. -ir. Sunday appeared unusual ly sprighitly tonight after concluding. To satisfy a popular clamor he steppedl out On the top) of the piano and actedl as song leader, going through the an tics which have madle him so )ppulali during his stay here. Then Robert Mathews, Albert Pc -terson, sirs. Virginia Asher and Miss Florence Kinney sang, utnaccomTh!an ied, "Traveling Home,'' after which the flnal words of benediction were pronouncwed by the Rev. Thos. 'HI.

Mr. Sunday in his concluding ser vice for the day aud the campaign, which was the first he had ever con ducted on the soil of the Palmetto State, pleaded strongly for an accept ance today of Jesus as a personal saviour. FR0M TiE LOWEST TO THE HIGIHEST Thi IWas the tecord of The Past Week in the (tolln Mairket. New Orleans, Feb. 12.-Low prices this week in the cotton market were madc on the opening session, while the highest prices were made on the clos ing session. From the lowest to the highest, taking the whole list into con sideration, there was a rise of 24 to 91 points. Gains were moderate, but well sustained. At the highest the active positions iwere 64 to 109 points over the close of the preceding week, whilc at the lowest they were 10 to 39 over. Closing prices showed net gains of 72 to 104: points. March traded up to 16.97 and closed at 16.93. In the spot department prices gained 50 points on middling, which closed at 16.75 cents a pound against 12.75 on the close of the same week last year. A better feeling in the spot depart ment, more demand and smaller offer ing helped contract values consider ably. On top of this were the unfav orable weather conditions over the belt, which, in many sections, prevent ed preparationg for the new crop so thaLome portions pf the belt swent to claiming tht 4ew crop Work was from two to three weeks late, Drought Wis complained of In northern aMA Western counties of Texas and In parts of Oklahoma, but "ecessive 2noisture was the main coin plaint in central and eastern divisions of the belt. IPoints In South Carolina wired In that next -to no new cyg work had been done because of iper la8tent rains. The week had no real reactions from the advice, the closest approach to a reaction coming at about the middle when (western Interests were supposed to be sellers because of their disappointment over the attitude of President Harding regarding a bonc Issue to finance the proposed soldiers bonus. New England strike news was closely followed, but, while the strike spread according to union plans at the first of the week, it did not cause any great amount of selling. Late in the week private messages clainee that thq labor troubles were likely to be settled before long and such pre citions owere a help to the market. The nipproaching maturity of the March position was a matter of great interest because of rep~orts from the Newv York market that tenders would amount to at least flfty thousand bales. the selling that in some situations probably wouldl be the case, because It was felt that the spot interest wvould be cager to take up the cotton.
