The monthly report of The Commissioner
of Agriculture of North Carolina embraces
tho following:
eve have iifty-thrcc cotton mills in opc-
ration in the State aud the consumption for
the past year is estimated at 3S, S,184 bales,
or IL ,207 800 pounds. According 10 tho
figures Of tho National Cotton Exchange,
this was an increase of 1864 bales over
the previous year. Three largo mills arc
now being erected, with tho prospect that
others will DO added within tho next twelve
mouths, which will continue TO increase our
consumption. It is gratifying fact, that
while all our spindlcs run on full time, they
arc unable to keep up with tho demand.
Every pound Of cotton produced in North
Carolina should bcspun within its borders,
thereby aiiordipg employment to thousands
of our population, and adding millony to
our aggregate wealth annually"

The Rev. DIR. Boyd, Of tie ST. Louis
Second Baptist Church, breaches that all
men will ultimately be saved; that sccts arc
ordained of God and ncclful TO the varied
views of mankind; that a Jew may be saved
without believing in Jesus; that close COM
munloh is only an inference drawn from
one passage iii the Scriptures, that the
Baptist denomination is too rigid in its
views of communiou; that baptism is not
prerequisite to communon--onlYa an orderly
prcccdcnt-and that man has right to
picture his God according to his needs, and
has right to 20 to his God in any manner
be chooses. 1t is not surprising that DIR.
Boyd has been expelled from tho St. Louis
Baptist Association.
