Oregon, from September 6.to September 24, the Right Rev. William A. Guerry, bishop of the diocese of South Car olina, with Mrs. Guerry. has re | turned to the city. As a result of j the action of the convention in ap proving the. division of South Car olina into two dioceses, this di j vision is now effective,' and an ad '. journed meeting of the 132d coun I cil of the Diocese of- South Caro lina is to be held on October 17. at j 10 a. m., *t Grace Churcli, Cfrai'le* |ton. ? Others from Charleston who at tended the convention are expected j to return during the week. Rev. A. S.. Thomas and Rev. S: C. Beckwith I were delegates, lay delegates hay I rag been J. Swinton Wh?ley of j Edisto and John P. Thomas of Co i lumbia. Representing the women's [auxiliary were Mrs. Robert Hunt, I Mrs;. T. H. Hazelhurst and Misses ! Mary GatHard and Annie Hanckel. j Bishop Guerry states that the I trip to the convention was deiight jful. by way of Chicago. St. Paul, j and Seattle. Cordial: hospitality ! was "extended- by the people of j Portland. The sessions were held j in the Municipal Auditorium, the j main section of which hoids 6,000 ; people, ani Portland did everything ! possible for the comfort and con venience of its guests. I Important steps looking toward ?church unity were taken by the j convention, states Bishop Guerry, including the adoption ofa con cordat with .the Congregationalist church providing that the latter church may become affiliated with the Episcopal without 'requiring t confirmation, the use of the prayer book, or vestments. It was rec ognized, states the bishop, that unity was desirable, and that the (minor differences not involving*es j semials- should not stand in the j way. As a result an amendment j to the constitution and the adop 'tkm of a canon, bishops of the ; Eiscopal church can ordain dea ! cons and priests to minister under j certain conditions in affiliated re l ligious bodies.'. The goal of unity I among the Christian peoples was j stressed." j Revision of the prayer book was [among the most important matters ! which ca me before the convention, j Changes in "the. baptismal and i burial services were made, and [minor changes were made, too in } the confirmation .office. Changes in j the- office.? of administering the 'holy communion were ..-made, so (that the communion, at the discre tion of the minister, may be ad | ministered in abbreviated form. I One of the most interesting changes j made was the omission of the word '"obey" and the woman's admission j of fealty. The words.' "all my ! worldly goods, I thee endow," were I omitted. ! ' The convention took steps to ] ward encouraging faith healing, 'but tire only action it took was to j appoint a committee to report back I at/ the next general convention to [be held in. New .Orleans in Under the division of the dio ' cese. which places the lower s^b j tion of the state under the juris i diction of Bishop Guerry, and the j upper under Bishop K. G. Finlay of j Columbia, Bishop Guerry's diocese ? continues to be known as the Dio ! cese of South^ Carolina. The upper ; diocese will organize at a council : to be held in Columbia. October i 10-12, while the lower diocese meets j here Ociober 17, resuming the j meeting held in May, when final j action was taken by the . diocesan : council on the division, and all de | tails were arranged. The same ! delegates and alternates elected for ?the council in May will hold over, j and no new election is necessary, j " The meeting to be held here will ! be of great importance, as mat iters resulting from the division of j the diocese will come up for con j sideration. Bishop ? Guerry has i urged that every church send a full ; delegation, and asks that those who ! attend be prepared to stay over to ja supper to be given in honor of the delegates on the evening of j October 17. Those who expect to j attend the supper are asked to send ? their names to Rev. Dr. William ! Way, rector of Grace Church. j A week later, in the Church of {the Holy Communion, a special i convenient of women's organiza I tions of the Diocese of South Car i olina will be held, and will be j opened with a corporate celebration of the holy communion at 10 o'clock, October 24. The object of the convention is to reorganize and to fill all vacancies caused by the [resignation of the officers, or by I the division of the diocese. Those ) who expect to attend are asked to : notify Rev. H. W. Starr, or Mrs ] T. H. Hazeihurst. ? ? ? j PEANUT GROWERS SUE TO RECOVER LARGE SUM ! Norfolk.

A Two Run Lead For Yankees Was Overcome in Eighth Inning New York, Oct. 4 (By the Asso ciated Press).?The unconquerable spirit to keep on trying when suc cess docs not come at first, carried the New York Nationals to a j smashing victory this afternoon in the first clash with the New York Americans for the 1922 title of world baseball champions. The ?score was 3 to 2. To overcome a 2 to 0 lead, the Giants, turned back in all their previous assaults upon the Amer ican leaguers' defense, crashed out four singles, one right after an other, in the eighth inning, and crowned their furious attack with a sacrifice fly. The four hits crushed Joe Bush, the Yankee speed ball pitcher, and tied the score. Waite Hoyt succeeded Bush and on his fourth delivery yielded the sacrifice fly which scored the deciding run of the game. The winning machine climbed up the hill in low speed. Early in the game, when Bush and Art Nehf. the Giant's southpaw, were fight ing a scoreless duel, the Nation als could not score with two suc cessive singles. In the seventh in ning they banked out three one baggers in a row, and could not score. The Giants simply went back in the eighth inning and kept on pounding out one baggers un til it was impossible for the stub born Yankee defense to prevent them from crossing the plate. Babe Ruth, the celebrated home rim swatter, swung violently at the ball all, afternoon. Nothing that even left the impression that he could hit a. home run came from -bis bat but he did nag out a sin gle that. broke through the mo u?tonjT'of"the': early, scoreless in ning which Nehf and Bush imposed upon the batters.

First advances on piles I of tobacco ran as .high as $20 a hundred on several markets and many piles went from $18 to $22 throughout the belt. Deliveries at the two association warehouses in Danville approximat ! ed'200.000' pounds.

The grading, sorting and handl ing of the tobacco by veteran grad ers and warehousemen just return j ed from the operation of the To j bacco Growers' Cooperative asso ciation markets in South Carolina thoroughly pleaded the growers who crowded about Richard R. Pat terson, general manager, and- A. R. Breedlove. assistant general man lager of the leaf department at I Danville, South Boston, and Chat ham, where they supervised the first day's opening. "The best tobacco since 1915." was Mr. Patterson's comment on the first deliveries to the associa tion on the Virginia markets which he visited today. Many averages of from $15 to $18 and many piles running from $20 to $20 on the first conservative ? ?ash advances by the association indicated the splendid quality of tobacco received by the coopera tive. "I've often received lower prices for better tobacco,*' was a frequent expression of the growers on the cooperative floors today when re ferring to the first rash advances which they received with their par ticipation receipts. Local banks throughout Virginia and North Car olina are loaning money today up on the security of these participa tion receipts in addition to the first cash-advances which proved so sat isfactory.
