THE STOCK OF SUGAR.-The following ar
ticle clipped from the New York Journal of
Commerce may explain the conflicting reports
made in regard to the stock of sugar, and will
no doubt be valuable to the trade:
There was good deal of interest manifested
among the sugar refiners and dealers in the
serious difference in the statements of the
stock of sugar in this port, noted in our COM
mercial columns on Saturday. The monthly
statement of the Importers and Grocers'
Board of Trade represented the total stock of
sugar and melado in port July l at 252, 227 800
lbs. or about 112, 600 tons, while the monthly
statistical report made up from the brokers
stock lists, which has hitherto been considered
reliable authority, gave the stock at n 295 tons,
or 81, 1906 tons less than the Board of Trade.
The two reports have differed for some months
past, but the difference was so slight as not to
elicit much notice. This month, however, the
difference is so great as to be ascrbed by some
dealers to fraudulent design to influence the
market. 1t is said that the difference is caused
by the brokers' list not including the importa-
tions of the refiners, and perhaps also by some
of the brokers concealing in part their trans.
actions. The statement of the Importers and
Grccers' Board of Trade is made up from the
Custom House returns, and is believed to be
correct. 1t is suggested however, that If the
latter statement gave the number and size of
the original packages, as wei as the total net
weight it would make the statement much
more valuable.

WAR IN EUROPE,
That Now Seems Imminent and
Inevitable.

WAsHINGToN, April 14.-The i'm
preston prevails in official circles
that war between Turkey and Rus
STA is now inevitable. The Russian
Minister is of opinion that an out
break cannot longer be prevented.
Admiral Porter says that if con
fiict comes on, it promises to be
most important to Europe and also
to the United States.
Gen. Sherman on the subject
says: 1T will keep our people at
work day and night TO provide for
Europe, if there should be a gener-
al war, and that it now seems inevi-
table to me. l believe all the great
powers will be directly or indirectly
involved before the year is out.
In parts of the country in which
field fights will certainly take place,
half a million men n either side
can and will be used. The Rus
SLAMS will have to pull along fast
through the summer, for they get
all their supplies by railroads. AID
in winter these are rarely available.
If war is brought about, Gen.
Sherman is in favor of allowing
some OF our army officers to Witt Ell
ther army, without pay, and serve
on staff duty.

The Christian neonle of Pulaski

The Christian people of Pulaski
seem to have forgotten that preach
ers and preachers families have to
eat as well as other folks. They
seem to imagine that the ravens
viii. feed them, or that in some prov
idential manner they will be pro-
vided for Leastwise most of the
people have quit paying the preach
ers, and they and their families are
left 10 scuffle with the world as best
they can. This is shameful. = It is
reproach to Pulaski. We know
it is attributable to thoughtlessness
more than to wilful neglect, but the
hardship to the preacher is all the
same. Now. we have heard no COM
plants from them. In fact, they
complain too little. But having
come into possession of the infor-
nation that very large majority of
our Church people have not con
tributed single cent this year to-
ward the support of their pastors
aud most of the others have con-
tributed only very small sums, We
have taken upon ourselves the I'm
pleasant duty of giving them this
reproof. We are sure the Church
people of Pulaski have not lately
investigated this subject much, and
do not know how scantily their
preachers have been paid, or they
would surely pay up better. We
therefore suggest that they exam
inc the books of the treasures and
know for themselves how poorly
they have done; then let them pay
up promptly, and resolve never to
treat their pastors SO again. There
may be other localities to which !
these remarks will apply with equal
force. If so, we trust they may be |
appropriated and acted upon.

OBITUARY.
From the Christian Adyocntel

| From the Christian Advocate.
WILLIAM A LAITA was born In Maury
county, Tenn, Dec. Both, 1886, and died
| in Columbia, Tenn, Feb. 9th, 1877. He
was married to Miss Mary S. Braden, of
Giles county, Tenn, July 18th, 1861
He was consumptiye for years, and suf-
fered much, but was full of patience,
and resigned to the will of God. AS n
citizen he was respected by all who
knew him, and no man among us was
more law-abiding than Brother Latta-
providing things honest In the sight of
all men. He loved his country, and
prayed for its prosperity. As a soldier
he discharged his duties with fidelity,
and a wound received in battle was no
doubt the occasion of his death. He was
a decided Methodist, but no bigot. He
loved the church, and delighted to at
tend upon its services. For more than
twenty five years did he hold member
ship in the church. He filled the offices
of trustee and steward with honor to
himself and profit to the church. a
more heightened Christian gentleman l
think l have never met. He was sure to
love his pastor, and aid him in his work
l miss him much every way. His char
acter as christian was above reproach,
and when looked upon his calm, serene
lace IN ueatn, L repeated, - Mark the per-
feet man, and behold the upright; for
the end of that man is peace" As
Mason he never soiled his white apron.
As husband and father, brother and
son, was kind, gentle and good. He pro-
vided well for his household. His last
days were peaceful and happy. FREE
quently did 1 visit him, and always
found him full of hope and trust, rely |
ing upon the blood of Jesus, that |
cleanseth from all sin. His death was |
one of the most triumphant l ever wit |
messed. A few days before his death, |
in the presence of his pastor, father, |
brothers, sisters and friends, he called |
his wife and their five children to him, /
and gave to each his parting blessing,
them to Him who careih I
for the widow and the orphan, and then |
with perfect halo OF glory playing up
on his divinely- illuminated counten-
lnce, he shouted forth the praises of
God, and talked of heaven as his future
and everlasting home. 1 preached his
funeral sermon from eff a man die,
shall he live again? ?" The funeral pro-
,ession was the largest ever seen i'm this
city at the death of private Citizen
he was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery
with both Church and Masonic honors.
Thus passed away good man, full of
faith and the Holy Ghost.

SCHEDULE.
Ex-Governor Hendricks was SER

Elk Governor Hendricks was ser
enaded in San Francisco a few
nights ago, and responded in a
speech. The part relating to poll
tics was as follows: Il do not choose
tonight, in addressing you, to
speak upon the political questions
at any length. They have placed
Mr.. Hayes in the Presidential chair.
/ do not think that the judgement
of the American people is that he
was elected; but without election he
has been placed in the Presidential
chair. He is, for the purpose of
the office, the President of the Uni
ted States, and you and l will give
to his Administration for the good
of our country, that support which
is due to any officer de .Jacto. But
this wrong that you and the great
body of the American people be-
lieve has been perpetrated, must
not pass into precedent, to be fol
lowed in the future. 1t is a crime
rather to be oetested, and the work
of the future, in part, is to correct
this, and to prevent its becoming a
precedent. Hereafter the man who
is elected must be President of the
United States. And four years
from this time it will be the bust
ness of the people of the United
States to express a judgment upon
this question not to be misunder
stood.

The Boston NIethOdists.

BosToN, April 4.-The New Eng
| land Conference of the Methodist
Church opened to day, Ill OF the
245 members present. Resolutions
on the Southern question were pre-
sented by Rev. w. F. Mallsen, d.
D., of Boston, and upon being
read were received with great ap-
plause, and by vote of the Con
ference referred to a special COM
mittee of five, to be appointed by
the Chair. The preamble to the
resolution reviews the blighting eff
fects of slavery, and the two final
resolutions are in substance as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that we are alarmed and
filled with apprehension for the flu
ture when we contemplate the prac
teal sale of one of the great politi
cal parties of the republic by two
politicians of that party, who have
held, and now hold, very intimate
relations to the President, thus sac
rificing principle and party and
for the sake of tenn
poTary success.
Resolved, that we protest most
earnestly against the action of the
new adminisi in making
terms with the chief of the KuKlux
instigation of the Hamburg massa
ere, NJ c. Butler, and still more
earnestly do we protest against Off
cial recognition by the Administra
ton of that arch enemy of the repub
lie, who long since ought to have
been hung for treason, Wade Hamp-
ton, Of South Carolina, and who now,
by threats and intimidation, under
the very roof of the White House, as
well as on railroad platforms and in
other public places, defies the pow
er of the government and DULLES
the President into compliance with
his traitorous and wicked usurpa-
tions.
These resolutions show the vim
iictive animus of Northern fanat
les, but it is proper to state that
they did not pass. Others not so
but bad enough in all
we're substituted and
passed.

Our Stake in a European War
New York Bulletin.

New York Bulletin.
There can be no doubt that the
common impression is correct that
such an event would have, at first,
stimulating effect upon the trade
of this country and bring US many
immediate advantages. 1t would
be a great mistake, however, to sup
pose that we could be permanently
benefited by what injured all Eu-
rope. The impoverlshment of our
foreign customers, which would GER
tainly result from European war,
would in the long run diminish the
advantages derivable from our for
eign commerce and deprive us of
all we had gained during the earli-
er special demand for our products
New York Herald.
There will be great change, as
if by magic, in case of the general
expectation of a great war in Eu-
rope is realized. This impending
event, the moment it happens, will
touch all the nerves of the Ameri-
can trade and industry. 1t will
open a vast and profitable market
for everything we can produce, and
set all the wheels of business in &C
tive motion. Our banks will find
employment for all their idle mon
CIV; our railroads will be burdened
with freights; a mighty stimulus
will be given to the raising of grain
and pork, to the manufacture of
arms, clothing and military supplies,
and we shall recover within the en-
suing two years more than we have
lost since the great panic. 1t is alb
surd TO indulge in sentimental MIS-
givings about thriving on the calam
tiles of other nations. We are not
responsible for those calamities.
The effect of our great business &C
tivity will be to alleviate them. We
shall supply food to those who
would otherwise famish, clothing to
those who would otherwise go max
ed, arms to those who would other
wise be without the adequate means
of defence. Our advantages will be
like that of the producers OF Peru
Wan bark, for which the great mill
tary hospitals will create an exces-
sive demand. 1t is a mercy TO the
sufferers that the stimulus of profit
will insure means of alienation.
During the laet eight years, I'M
der Republican domination, proper
ty in South Carolina has decreased |
in value s55,OO0,0oo. The plum
dered State win now have a chance |
to recover from the accursed abuse |
of the carpstbaggers.
