Why Manila Is One Day Behind.

Manila is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine islands. but,
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of its size III the world
This curious fact iaaccountc,l for in this
way: Although the Philippine islands
lie near the Asiatic coast, they were
discovered by Spnniar,ls who sailed
from America When they crossed the
magic line where Sunday suddenly
changes into Monday, these fiery dons
of proud Castilian ancestors did not ro-
wise their calendar. When told of this
years later; when informed TINT their
mode of reckoning time was not ND To
modern notions, they only said that that
was so much the worse for modern no
tions. Anyhow, the fact remains that
these Philippine islanders keep plod.
ding along one day behind all the rest
Of the world, which reckons time by
new style.

Children's Day at Antioch.

Sunday was observed as ChildrCn's
Day at Antioch and there was an
unusually large crowd present. The
church was taxed beyond its seating
capacity, many failing to get seats
at all.
The children acquitted themselves
exceedingly well, and the Rotations,
songs, etc, We're much enjoyed by
the largo audience. The church was
artistically decorated with flowers
and evergreens, presenting a pleasing
and inviting appearance.
The excellent manner in which the
little tots recited their pieces was
commented upon favorably by all.
Miss Virginia EdmOndson, perhaps
the youngest member of the Sunday
school, recited piece in such lady
like manner that the congregation
had to give her an encore.
After the services dinner was
spread under the shade trees in the
rear of the church, and it was typi-
cal south side basket dinner that

DIR. SEARS, M1sHAP.
He Falls, FraoturinR the Right Hip
Resting Well This Morning.

Resting Well This Morning.
DIR. A. ID. Sears happened to a bad
accident Saturday evening. About
half past five o'clock he changed his
shoes, putting on an old loose pair
with one side of the heels worn of,
and went into the vestibule of the
Baptist church for the hose, which
had been carried there by workmen,
intending to water the flowers.
Some small blocks had fallen from
above, where carpenters are engaged
putting in new ceiling. He stepped
with his heel on one of these blocks,
which was about three inches long.
The block turned and his heel
slipped, whirling him around like
top, and he fell with great force to
the floor, fracIuring the right thigh
just below the hip joint; rather it
was kind Of telescope, driving the
lower part into the upper bone. DIR.
Sears got up, unconscious of the ex-
tent of his injury, and started to
walk out of the church, but quickly
gave down and sat on the door sill.
Presently two colored men came
along and carried him home, which
was but few steps. Mrs. Sears, I'M
aware of the accident, met the men
at the door bearing him in, and the
very glimpse of his pallied face pro-
1uced shock exceedingly severe to
her.
DR.. Runyon was quickly in atten-
dance, and discovered the fracture,
and awaited the arrival of DR.. Nc
Cauley. The physicians concluded it
was safest to allow the fractured bone
to knit together in the position they
found it, as the setting of the bone
would be attended by great suffering
without any certainty of uniting the
fractured part, at his advanced age.
He is resting very quietly, suffering,
no pain this morning and can press
downward with his foot without
feeling pain, but cannot turn his leg
either way, and seems to be suffering
more from the confinement than
from the wound.
He talks and laughs and enjoys the
presence of visiting friends immense
ly, takes the situation philosophical
ly, ascribes the accident to the provi
dence of God, for some good purpose
unknown to him, for he don't be
lieve in accidents. Says it was
more the result of his own careless
ness, and it might as we'll have been
himself as any one else.
The news of his fall spread all
over the city in less than an hour,
and friends were croWding in to
learn the extent of the injury, and
offer any assistance in their power.
Hundreds of people called during
the night, and all day yesterday a
constant stream was going in and
out. The physicians are now conf
dent they will have him up on
cfutches in the next three weeks
and it is hoped that he will b.
spared for many more years of use
fitness.
DR.. Sears is now past 81 years OF
age and continues to preach with all
the vigor of his younger days, and
had prepared a fine sermon for his
congregation Sunday morning.
Mrs. Sears will be "a years of age
July 25th. They were married
March 26, 1928, SO years ago. DR..
Sears has served the church here %

quently everybody feels a deep in

went to Hopkinsville last week and
sold 800 worth of tobacco and has
not been heard from since. Two the.
cries are advanced to account for his
disappearance One is that in fit
of insanity he wandered off, and the
other is that he has been killed for
his money.

DR.. Bardwell, of the University,
preached for the Baptist congrega-

forcible, chaste and eloquent preacher
calculated to entertain any intelli-

day was from the Goth chapter Of

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
Actual Receipts to Date and Strong Pc
sitionsof the Market.

An investigation of the receipts,
sales and general status of tobacco,
amount in the county, stocks on the
market, planting prospects, &c, shows
our market for dark tobacco to be in
the strongest position which has
characterized it for several years.
The total receipts to date amount
to only II 1859 hogsheads-sales 1921,
thus leaving in stock in warehouses
unsold 5,938 hogsheads. These figures
show the actual receipts from the
country; no "dogs" or remembered
hogsheads counted. The general
estimate by warehOusemen who are
posted as to the stocks still in The
country, is that rs per cent. of the
crop is already in, so it is very well
ascertained that the crop of 1890 will
fall considerably short of all esti-
mates. The receipts for the year will
foot up between 10000 and $4,000
hogsheads. The general market re-
ports show that stocks are reduced
10000 hogsheads below what they
were this time last year. While this
is the case, the preparations for plant
ing will not exceed the average of
last year under the most favorable
circumstances, and should the season
for planting continue unfavorable for
the next ten days, very high prices
may be expected in July. In fact
the market is in very strong posi-
ton under any circumstances, and
the Sunday-school class need not be
frightened.
Talking with a remainder, he re
marked favorably on the keeping
condition of tobacco and the high
standard of inspection. He said he
had re-handled quite large number
of hogsheads and every che had
shown up better than the sample,
which speaks well for the market.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
The Grand Conclave Opens at Knox
vile Wednesday.

The Grand COmmandery of
Knights Templar of Tennessee will
assemble in conclave at Knoxville,
Wednesday, May 9th, and promises
to be one of the most eventlul and
interesting meetings ever held in the
State.
The organization has lost three
Past Grand Commanders during the
past year which calls for words of
sorrow and the delivery of memorials
and eulogies on the lives and charac-
ter of the deceased knights.
Rev. DIR. Sears was expected to lead
the memorial service with a paper
characterizing the late Past Grand
Commander G. B. Wilson, which he
had prepared with great care,
and intended going. This will
be the first grand assembly
that DR.. Sears has missed attending
during his citizenship here for the
past twenty-five years, which is ac-
counted for by the accident he met
with Sunday, noticed elsewhere.
The memorial will be read by Sir
Knight w. j. Ely.
The Knoxville commandery will
give one of the most magnificent en-
tertainments ever witnessed in the
State. A special train will be sent TO
Chattanooga tomorrow at the ex-
pense of Knoxville to convey the
delegates to that city and return.
The following delegates from Clarks-
vile COmmandery will leave this
evening:
Sir knights, w. J. Ely, John ID
