OUR RADICAL CHAPLAINS The Advertiser has once before this time called attention to some ne culiar prayers that are offered by the chaplains of Congress. The other occasion was when the chaplain quoted poetry to the Lord as in tlij> prayer offered by Rev. few days ago.. Here is the prayer offered by Rev. James Sheva Montgomery, D. in the House. The chaplain, like Dickens, drops into poetry: "Our blessed heavenly Father, Thou are the bread of life and all the material wonders that it .suggests. After these forms have yielded us their bounties and their beauties help up t?> realize that behind them all is - tmclhing full ? f infinite jrlory and mercy.

REDUCING THE ARMY It is gratifying to know that the Democrats won in the fight on the reduction of the army. The Republicans wanted a big standing arm> in time of peace that would cost the tax payers millions of dollars, but th" Democrats ami some Republicans cut the number down to 1 ">0,000. As this army of 150,000 will i%! for its support ?1134,000,00 al! level headed people will agree that that amount of money and that ninny soldiers ?n peace times is a plenty. BUUOLI SYbTLM ADOPTED Congress has passed the budg"t biil and the President has signed it. As it is probably not genenlly known what a budget in the financial sense is 'ike, Litis explanation may be useful: A budgt system requires thai the income and the expenditures of a government be definitely adjusted to each other in advance. If the budget is to be made scientifically, the first step is to find out what the necessary expenses for the year are to be, then to establish a tax rate that will produce that sum. (lovernments like the government of CJreat Britain can enforoe as well as draft a budget so made. The cabinet, which is the executive power, controls the legislative, which is the appropriating and taxing power, be cause if it lias not such control it must resign. In the British government the Mouse of Commons cannot increase or cut down an uoproprint on, or change a tax rate; or, rather, the House of Commons does not permit itself to make such changes unless it is prepared to oust the ministers*.

WEEVILS, WEATHER t AND POISON 1 I Clemson College, June 16.?As the weather conditions constitute the ^ determining factor in the amount of x boil weevil dunnage from year to ^ year, so will the weather directly af- t feet the poisoning work from year l to year, according to Prof. A. F. Con- j radi, entomologist, who states that if ? luring the early part of the fruiting ; eason there is a month or more of ( hoi and dry weather we may expect l that this will control the weevil suf- ( ficiently to makc dusting not neces- j sary or profitable. On the other hand, if this is a period of frequent ^ rains, the weevils will multiply very rapidly and severe loss may be expected. The midday showers of a rainy sason have a tendency to cause shedding of many squares and young . bolls. This results in a concentration of weevils on' the remaining fruit, thus aggravating the situation. During the dusting season the. weather may be so ruit.y that it js im possible to keep a coat of poison on , the plants sufficiently long to be of value. But farmers should not be duly afraid of threatening weather after poisoning nas started. Experience so far would indicate that every j effort should be made to apply the poison as nearly as possible according to schedule. Since the weather conditions vary in different localities, , | the procedure can be determined on ly during the dusting season and for each locality individually. HOGS HELP IN FIGHT AGAINST BOLL WEEVIL "Comanche,?This section has one farmer who not only has no fear of the boll weevil, but actually turns it to an advantage. His name is VV. B. Starling, and he lives near Blanket, about 10 miles southwest of Comanche. He says he has now about a half bale of cotton to the acre matured with pood prospects of continued ! maturity. He has his farm fenced in! tc sub-divisions with hop-proof I fences. As soon as the boll weevil begins to make its appearance he turns j 1 his hops into the cotton field.

SOUTH CAROLINA | The following treatise on South Carolina appeared in a recent iissue 1 of "The Atlantic Coast Merchant," of New York: If Pennsylvania boasts that Liberty was cradled within her boundaries South Carolina may claim with even greater justice to be the true birthplac of the Goddess on this continent. The glamour which has been shed around the mighty events which took place in Philadelphia in 1776 has unjustly obscured the fact that it was in South Carolina American in dependence was first proclaimed and that it was the eloquent voices and stout hearts of her sons which gave the ipitial impetus to democracy and freedom in these United States. It should be of peculiar interest to the readers of the Atlantic Const Merchant to note that the first great advocate < ' 11: 1?? ' licence was not a soldier or a politician,. but a great merchant, Christopher Gadsden of karlest >n. Long before the Uec'aration of Independence even evistcd us a possibili;/ in the mnds of its s>gners Gadsder. was preach'ng the i < ctrin of freedom under the famous Liberty Tree in his native city. With the vision of a great statesman he foresaw the inevitable struggle and was trie nrst to urge that the colonists must stand shoulder to shoulder in the Great Defiance and that every petty sectional jealously must be abondoned for the sake of the common cause. At a time when even such men as Adams,Otis, Washington and Henry recoiled' from Ihe thought of severance from the mother country Gadsden was boldly proclaiming that absolute independence was the only solution. The powerful influence which the lofty character, distinguished ability and high ideals of this merchant prince exerted ovrr his fellow citizens is signally demonstrated by the fact that South Carolina was the first coiony lo adopt an ndependent form of government and Chrstopher Gadsden was the framer of its constitution. When the issue was once drawn and the colonists entered upon the desperate enterprise of insisting the might of England by arms it was men ' of South Carolina whon won the first decisive victory for the cause of freedom.

RUSH BROOKE Baptist Commissioner For Europs. * Collections in cash totaling $25,103,(24.64 have been made for general sauses fostered by the Baptist 75 Million Campaign since the campaign tfas launched in 1919, according to a report to the Southern Baptist Convention, which has just adjourned its Chattanooga session, by Dr. L. R. Scarborough, general director of the campaign, and chairman of the Conservation Commission. The fact that $12,924,943.60 of this amount wsb collected during the past year, under the most depressing conditions known in years, is very encouraging to the denominational leaders, they say. Will Seek the Unsaved. Feeling the need of conserving the spiritual interests of' the people as well as the financial aspects of the campaign, iiie convention asked the Conservation Commission to seek to enlist, through the Btate and associations! organizations, all the 27,000 local Baptist churches in the South in a larger evangelistic effort during the next twelve months, the aim being to Induce as many Individual members of the churches as possible to win at least one soul to Christ during the new year. Reports to the convention showed that there were 173,595 persons received Into the local Baptist churches by baptism during the past year, and a much larger number will be sought during the year ahead. ? Would Evangelize Europe. One of the interesting actions of the convention was the decision to back nr. #..11? 41 w 4 U(i tun/ tuo roreiRn Mission Hoard In Its program for the evangelization of the new European territory of Spain, Jugoslavia, Hungary, Roumanla, the Ukraine and Southern Russia. Dr. J. H. Rushbrooke, of London, Baptist Commissioner for Europfo, addressed the convention, telling how he had distributed the relief funds contributed by Baptists for the needy families of those countries and how the giving of this relief had opened wide the door of missionary opportunity. Work on the older foreign fields during the past year was upusually 4 successful, the \board reporting receipts of 12,404,988 for its missionary operations and $278,000 for relief work, as well as $100,000 worth of clothing: 6,998 baptisms on the foreign fields; 187 of the 611 churches self-supporting, with a total of 406 foreign missionaries and 978 native workers employed. Home Mission Board Active. The Home Mission Board reported 77,072 additions to the churches , through its instrumentalities rhiir*.*. extension operations of $1,248,000, and 298 patients treated at the Tubercular Sanatorium at El Paso. During the year the receipt! of the Sunday School Board reached $1,147,721.72, and the boaid turned back into general work of the denomination the sum of $189,000. Although only three years of t ge. the Relief and Annuity Board, which seeks to supply the needs of aged, dependent ministers and their families, has doubled the number of beneficiaries receiving aid fiom the denomination as well aR the amount of relief given. It now h?*s permanent resources in excess of $900,000. There are 119 Baptist educationaf Institutions in the South, with a total enrollment of 40,000 pupils, the report " of the Education Board showed, and 2,186 of these pupils are preparing for special Christian service, such as the ministry, missionary and other special religious work. s The Woman's Missionary Union, representing the organised women of a^..? w, - *-* " * Duuiii, i nin?n?
