Baptists To Hold
Sunday School
Training Campaign
REV. W. H. BARFIELD LEADER
FOR ABBEVILLE ASSOCIA
TION
The Baptists of South Carolina
will engage in a state-wide Sunday
school training camoaign. The*
objectives in this campaign will
be to set up in each church a def
inite program of leadership train
ing and to execute a teacher and
officer training school in each
church during October or Novem
ber of this year.
The campaign will be directed in
the state by Mr. J. L. Corzine, di
rector of Sunday school and B. Y.
P. U. work for the Baptist denom
ination in South Carolina. There
is already elected in each Baptist
association in the state a director
who will lead the work for his as
sociation. His first task wilf be to
get a director in each church. Then
the plan calls for the setting up in
each .church of a definite teacher
and officer training policy. The
policy will be:
1. Two training schools for offi
cers and teachers during each
year.
2. A public presentation of all
awards.
3. Every church working to the
end of having every officer and
teacher hold the blue seal, for
completion of eight courses, and
the Master Workman’s Degree for
thirteen courses.'
4. Every church recruiting each
year and enlisting in training
young people who will make fu
ture officers and teachers.
* 5. The first training school will
be scheduled either for the month
of October or November of this
year.
. Associational Leader for ‘Abbe
ville association is Rev. W. H.‘ Bar-
field, McCormick. The work will
be in his hands for this immediate
section.
Mr. Ccrzine has announced that

Painful
Condition
"When I was just a girl
at home,” writes Mrs. B. F.
Riggan, of Baird, Texas,
I took Cardui for cramp
ing and pains in my side
and back, and it helped
me at that timg.
w After I was married,
I found myself in a weak,
run-down condition. I suf
fered a great deal with
my back, which was so
weak it hurt me to get
up or when I would stand
on my feet. I fell off in
weight.
"A friend of mine, see
ing how bad I felt, ad
vised me to take Cardui,
which I did.* By the time
I had taken two bottles, I
felt stronger and better
than I had in a long time.”

for
fche associational leader who gets
the best results this fall in propor-
tipn to the number of officers and
teachers of the association, will be
given a trip to the next South
wide Sunday school conference free
of cost to him. This will be a
greatly prized award to the suc
cessful director. The churches in
this section will, no doubt, work
very hard to earn this wonderful
trip for their leader. This confer
ence will be held at Jackson, Mis
sissippi.
The slogan for the campaign is:
“We will inform ourselves and
thus transform our school.”
Mr. Corzine says, “I confidently
expect 5,000* awards to accrue to
our state’s credit from this effort
and hope we will lead the South
ern Baptist Convention in^the good
work of teacher and officer train
ing for those months.”
Over 600 of the 1„250 Baptist
churches of the state have signi
fied their intention to co-operate
through the association director of
the movement. This will insure
the success of the undertaking as
half of the churches are in this
group and the campaign for fur
ther enlistment, just beginning,
will be carried on through Septem
ber, October and November.

More Than 30
Per Cent Of Sweet
\ * •
Potato Crop Lost
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 13.—
An estimate by the Federal Gov
ernment "Shows that less than 70
per cent of the annual sweet pota
to crop goes into human consump
tion. A very large part of the
wastage can be prevented, says L.
P. Watson, extension horticultu
rist, who adds that poor storage,
careless harvesting and handling,
and oversize potatoes account for
most of this.
Records show that sweet pota
toes injured in harvesting and
handling lose more than 28 per
cent by shrinkage, while those
carefully handled lose nearly 14
ner cent. The decline in demand
c or Southern sweet potatoes in the
’ast few years is largely due to the
composition and keeping quality
which has, been lessened by im
proper handling.
It is necessary that the sweet
potato be well matured before be-
ng dug, but digging should take
place before frost kills the vines
and while the soil is dry. They
should be handled carefully and
e bould be graded in the field. If
potatoes are put in storage., they
~hould not be moved or handled
again. With •careful.handling it is
possible to store and keen sweet
potatoes four months with losses
as low as 7 per cent from shrink
age and decay.
G. W. C. Opens Session
With Good Prospects
GREENVILLE, Sept. 15.—The
Greenville Womans College opened
its one hundred and eleventh ses
sion as an educational institution,
and its seventy-sixth session as a
chartered college on September
10th, under conditions that fore
cast an unusually successful ses
sion, and augur well for the future
development of this, the oldest col
lege for women in the State.
Miss Rosa C. Paschal, for eleven
years Dean of the College, is at the
head of the institution as Acting
President. She appeared at the
opening exercises oh Wednesday,
the 10th, and received an ovation
from the student body, the citiz
ens, patrons and alumnae. Miss
Paschal made a brief, but impres
sive address. Others appearing at
the opening exercises were C. B.
Martin, Chairman of the Execu-.
tive Committee, presiding, Maj. G.
HeyWard Mahon, of Greenville,
speaking for the Executive Com
mittee, Dr. Z. T. Cody, Editor of
the Baptist Courier, Hon. A. C.
Mann, Mayor of Greenville, and
Hon. J. J. McSwain. Mrs. R. M.
McCrorey, president of the Alum
nae Association, also welcomed the
student body.
Student registration began on
Tuesday, the 9th and Miss Paschal
announced that the largest num
ber of students ever registered in
one day were recorded on that
day. Complete reports have not
been compiled, and it can not be
stated at this time just what the
total enrollment is, but it is stated
that the largest number of students
ever enrolled from the city of
Greenville is recorded. Reserva
tions had been made in the dormi
tories for a number about on a
level with that of other years in
advance of the opening, but fig
ures are not available yet, as there
have been some withdrawals on ac
count of sickness, business failure,
and there are some late arrivals.
Mrs. N. B. Alford, Secretary of the
Board of Trustees, who has been
working with student contacts this
summer, stated that the enrollment
is particularly gratifying ih view
of the fact that on June 18th
there were only twelve students
definitely placed in the dormitor
ies. Another indication of the
general satisfaction with which the
new program and the enlarged
plans for the College is meeting is
the fact that the largest number
of former students ever recorded
is enrolled; another . outstanding
fact is the unusually large number
of students who have applied for
advanced credit, coming from oth
er colleges and universities.
Miss Edith Ouzts takes up the
new duties of Dean of Women,
having entire supervision of all
freshman work and activities, in
addition to her position as Asso
ciate Professor of English.
Old and pew students are full of
enthusiasm over the changes that
have been made in th# college
buildings, and th6 ne# ffrmishings
and arrangements of their parlors
and lounge rooms, milking a more
attractive and hohie-Iike atmos
phere for the students. The recep
tion halls and auditorium were fill
ed with flowers for the opening,
the gift of local flower shops and
alumnae.
Dormitory accommodations have
been greatly increased in recent
years, and there are still a few
available rooms, though some ad
ditional reservations have been re
ceived since the opening.

is being punished and is deteriorating. But the improve
ment in appearance alone is worth every cent of the cost.
WE ARE READY TO SERVE YOU WITH OUR PAINT
It has proven conclusively that it is the bdst paint you
can buy. Ask anyone who has used it and let the finish
ed job speak for itself. It protects the surface perfectly

DR. HENRY J. GODIN
Optometrist!
[958 Brood Street Augusts. Go,
(A. C. L. Ry., Bulletin.)
The severe, drought which has
visited some sections of the coun
try this summer has served to em
phasize the value of our far-flung
rail system during times of unus
ual weather conditions. Less se
vere drought in China or India and
other sections of the world where
adequate rail transportation is
Jacking have often resulted in fam
ine and pestilence and the starva
tion of hundreds of thouands of
people.
With the modern rail system of
this country no such calamity is
possible. The drought has caused
great loss of crops $tdd> livestock
and has been responsible for un
told distress and hard times, but
there will be no famine and no
starvation, because rail transporta
tion makes it possible to supply the
affected regions with ample quan
tities of food stuffs and forage,
Bnd even to ship livestock out of
the drought stricken, areas into
other parts of the country where
ample feed is available.
It is worth noting, in passing,
that, as is customary in all cases
of widespread distress, one of the
first steps taken by the Govem-
nifent in its plans for relieving dis
tress was to call upon the railroads
for reduced rates on forage and
feed stuffs, and to suggest that
such commodities and livestock
might even be moved without
charge. And, as usual, the rail-
roads in the distressed sections
have been . pfbmpt in their res
ponse. Where the railroads of the
Mississippi Valley and the South
east, in recent years, were active
in rescuing and relieving sufferers
in flooded sections, those of the
West are carryipg water to towns
whose supplies have failed and to
ranchers whose cattle must other
wise perish.
While such drought and crop
failures as that of this summer are
relatively rare, they come, perhaps
as often in the United States as
they do in China or India. But
where, in China, for example, lack
of rail transportation means that
thousands of people may die of :
starvation while an abuundance of,
food exists only a few miles away,
the railroad systems of our coun- 1
try are able to rush to any dis- |
tressed section supplies brought!
hundreds or even thousands of
miles from sections unaffected byj
adverse weather conditions.
Much of the success of the Brit-;
ish in combating famine and pest- |
ilence in India was due to the con
struction of railroads which per
mitted the quick distribution of
supplies tp regions where there
were crop failures.
Much, if not ffQst, of China's
present economic plight today is
due to lack of adequate transport
to enable equitable distribution aST
food supplies in times of need anil
to make it possible for a Govern
ment to function. When people
get hungry they get desperate and
they are then easily led by agita
tors to whom they would not listen
under normal conditions. Just jas
a drowning man will clutch at a.
straw so a hungry man will grasp
eagerly at anarchistic doctrine
that promises food for himself and
Ids family.
The drought in parts of the
country is a serious catastrophe.
It has caused hard times and grest
money loss; Btit nobody will die
of starvation, and the effects at
the drought have been minimized
because adequate* transportation
has made it possible to put into
effect relief measures that would
not otherwise have been possible./
