C THURSDAY, MAT 18, 1922, TOO LONG INDEED No action it can take will meet with more hearty approval than the steps the general Methodist conference has taken to provide for worn-out preach ers. One complaint many laymen Voiced about the recent campaigns 'for millions for missionary work and education was that no proper provis ion had been made rf or preachers no longer hle to serve, and the widows and minor children of these old ser vants of the Lord. One of the most pitifully cruel things in life is to see a preacher and his wife, both or eith erfor preachers' wives make -even greater sacrifices than the preachers abandoned in their old age and left to shift for themselves after lives of unselfish and poorly-rewarded ser vice, so far as this life is concerned. As the recommendation of the college of bishops states: "We have . paid these men long enough in empty honors and verbal gratitude.' The time has come when the only way to wipe out this reproach and to act justly is to meet all the reasonable needs of those who have had so much to do in building the splendid eccles iastical estate which we have inherit ed." -And too often the widows of preachers have not even been paid in ".empty honors and verbal grati tude," though to them life is harder than it is to their husbands. Senator Simmons concluded Friday a general assault on the tariff bill with the prediction that if it passed in its present form it would "lead the business of this country "into a debacle from which it will take us a quarter of a century to rescue it, and the dire consequences of which to the American people cannot be measured in words or figures." Just so it takes care of the powerful rich and the petted, interests -the masses of the people may be damned, so far as Re publican leaders care.

Not particle of vegetation was left intact on his farms, said Mr. Murphy, while even cattle and hogs were wounded by the hail. Sixty Ply mouth Rock chickens were killed on the farm of D. L.

May 16th, 1922. greAtmany tobacco, growers of some who Jrve at distance are writ- ing us relative to our metnoa ox sell ing tobacco at Fairmont , the coming season. "" -:.'v.-' -::'15 ri We wish to advise that we will sell tobacco at. "AUCTION" the old way te the highest bidder, beginning about Aug. 1st. to the 8th. Our market will open some later this season than usu-i aL on account of the gradmg law recently passed in South Carolina. :.l ;Most of our buyers wSH insist on the farmers grading their tobacco in order that there may be uniformity on all the ' bordering markets. However before-we go very far into the selling season we expect to see a part of the crop sold ungraded but we would sug gest to each amd all who possibly can to grade their tobacco before offering it fnr cola Wa n rtTirnTTntinOf a longer selling season than in previous years. 'May we also advise that yon1 have a plenty of tobacco sticks fori aaoh MiniHi aa iwni frrinvn wilr Iraon better left on the sticks after it is cured than it will to take it off the Sticks hurriedly and probably in bad order and bulked down. Get all the quality in your tobacco possible. v Make quality first. We be lieve all grades of good tobacco prop, efly handled will sell for good prices. We have the positive assurance of more buyers on the Fairmont market, the approaching season than ever be fore and "no doubt competition will be strong. Bring your tcbacco .to Fairmont and sell it for cash money, no long time waiting. You will get as much net money for the same grades of tobacco as Daid anywhere or by anybody. Ve hope this will make plain our position and that there will not be any further .misunderstanding., or : .rumors as to the course we expect to pursue the coming tobacco season.
