day’s earnings of this large group
of people were .made available for
the use of Epworth Orphanage, no
further assistance would be needed
for the entire year. It is not asking
too much to urge the entire mem
bership to give just one day out of
the whole year to the work of car
ing for orphan children. The of
fering is supposed to be made in
all of the more than 800 Methodist
| churches in South Carolina on
Sunday, September 20th.
The Work Day idea is not pecu
liar to the Methodists. The Baptists,
• Presbyterians and Episcopalian?
observe Thanksgiving as the day
on which their annual offering is
made to their respective Orphan
ages. They stress the idea of giv
ing at least one day’s work to the
support of their church homes for
orphan children.
j The Work Day fund is a unique
(one in that every penny received
goes directly into the building of
character in the lives of neglected
and unfortunate children. Surely
every healthy man, woman and
child who has any earning power
' at all would like to give just one
day out of the year to this most
worthy cause.

The Universal Car”
ONE NAME comes quickly to mind
■when you think of “The Universal
Car.” The description is distinctively
Ford. No other car is used by so
many millions of men and women in
every part of the world. Everywhere
it is the symbol of faithful service.
That has always been a Ford funda
mental. Something new is constantly
being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its
appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists.
Today’s Ford V-8 is more than ever
“The Universal Car” because it en
circles the needs of more people than
any other Ford ever built. It reaches
out and up into new fields because it
has everything you need in a modern
automobile.
The Ford V-8 coipbines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and
beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up-keep. It depre
ciates slowly because it is made to last.
There is no other car like it.

Urges Action
On Party Fund
Democratic Headquarters Makes
Request for Speed.
From The State, Sept. 6.
W. Forbes Morgan, treasurer of
the national Democratic executive
committee of which James A. Far
ley is chairman, has informed Mrs.
L. H. Jennings, in charge in South
Carolina of the Victory Democrat
ic campaign fund, that there is
urgent and immediate need of
funds at national headquarters for
the campaign for the re-election of
President Roosevelt.
The money was needed at nation
al headquarters in order to push
vigorously in doubtful states, the
campaign for Democratic victory at
the polls in November.
Mrs. Jennings said she was ad
vised that many counties in South
Carolina were refraining from
sending in contributions to the
party chest until they had raised
the full amount of their quotas.
She said she hoped they would
send in immediately what they
have collected, so that it could
be forwarded to national head
quarters, adding that all contribu
tions would be credited to the coun
ties from which they come.
The quota assigned to South
Carolina for the Democratic cam
paign was $50,000.

Work Day For
Epworth Orphanage
Superintendent W. D. Roberts, of
Epworth Orphanage, sent The Mes
senger this notice of the annual
Work Day:
For 33 years the Methodists of
South Carolina have observed an
nually a Work Day for Epworth
Orphanage. The day has been set
this year for Saturday, September
19. The offering will be made on
the following Sunday. Every adult
member of the church is expected
to give the earnings of that day
to the support fund of Epworth Or
phanage. Many children will find
some kind of job at which they can
earn money to help their less for
tunate friends at Epworth Orphan
age. Work Day affords a splendid
opportunity to teach children the
blessings of unselfish giving, and
at the same time gives much as
sistance in the work of caring for
our orphan children.
There are two Methodist Con
ferences in South Carolina with a
total membership of 152,000. If one
Weekly Cotton Grade
and Staple Reports
For Southeastern
States For Week End
ing September 3, 1936
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.—Cotton
grade and staple reports were is
sued today by the Atlanta office
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics for Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, and South Carolina. These
reports are issued weekly during
the active ginring season and are
based on the classification of sam
ples received from cooperating gins,
which are selected to give a cross-
section of the crop in the respective
States according to major soil dis
tricts.
Samples classed this week show
an improvement in both grade and
staple length in comparison with
samples classed last week. This
week Middling and above (White)
comprised 91 per cent of the sam
ples from Georgia, 75 per cent from
Florida, and 73 per cent from Ala
bama. The improvement in grades
for Georgia and Alabama is consid
erable. The report for South Caro
lina, the first one for the season,
also shows very high grades, 94 per
cent for Middling and above.
The improvement in staple length
this week over last week is indicat
ed by smaller proportions repre
senting cotton shorter than 7-8
inch which proportions for this
week represent 6 per cent for Geor
gia, 9 per cent for Alabama, and
5 p^r cent for Florida, and only
one tenth of 1 per cent for South
Carolina. South Carolina leads in
the longer lengths of staple with
about 60 per cent of the samples
classed this week comprising
lengths 1 inch and longer, in com
parison with 15 per cent for Geor
gia, 10 per cent for Alabama, and
3 per cent for Florida.
