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,

tal inmber of visitors to Spartanburg
during the (lay was estimated at 40,
000, but despite this tremendous crowd
and the consequent congestion, no ac
cident occurred, due to the remarkable
elliciency of the ci0y ielice.
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.

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

belt, which, in many sections, prevent
