THE MORNING SESSION.
The Preliminary Work Preparatory to the
Convention Proper Taken Up.

Yesterdays was really the first business
session of the Woman's board of missions
OF the Methodist Episcopal church, South.
At O'Clock the officers of the board met in
the DarIors of the First Presbyterian
church. Six of the board were present:
Mrs. Juliana Hayes OF Maryland, preSi-
dent: Mrs NJ. D. Wrightman of South
Carolina, vice-president; Mrs. Maria L.
Gibson Of Kentucky, recording secretary
Mrs. L. II. McHenry of Tennessee, man-
aver; Mrs. j. &. Gibson Of Tennessee, man
aver: Mrs. L. {. Dowdell OF Alabama,
manager.
Mrs Hayes presided and Mrs. Gibson
acted as secretary. The work was devoted
principally to appointing committees and the
discussion of other matters TO be submitted
to the general body TO-DAY for action.
At the same time meeting of all the cor
responding secretaries of the conference
societies was held in the Fourth Street
Methodist church. Mrs. 5. c. Trleheart
presiding. with Miss l.. G.. Moore, both of
Kentucky, acting as recording secretary.
Their work is not executive. Its object
was merely to deliberate upon matters of
general interest TO the body, and TO refer
.lilem rs recommendations 10 the board of
missions.
It was moved that the corresponding
secretaries recommend TO the boaru of mis-
sions that each conference be permitted by
the board to appoint an organizer if it SO
elect Carried.
80 motion TO recommend TO the board the
election of a general organizer was lost.
The following resolution was offered
Resolved that this body recommend to the
board that if the contingent fund does not
meet the expenses 50 incurred it be supple
meuted out of the general fund.- The vote
was twice tie. and was by motion deferred
for further consideration.
Mrs. s. s. Park of the Texas conference
said that last year she had offered resolu
ton TO the effect that by contributing 10
cents per month one could become amember
of the society, and that although the mo-
ton was lost, the Wolnan's Missionary Ad-
vocate had advertised it TO that effect for
the last two months. She moved that
correction be made. Carried.
On motion it was decided to recommend
10 the board that it elect an editor TO pub
lish juvenile paper.
1t was moved and seconded that the meet
ing adjourn To p. IN. but before the motion
was voted on DR.. Lloyd of the Fourth street
Methodist church announced that at night
the members of the board and visitors
would have the front seats at their disposal
in the church and requested that they

A REM EDY.
Raise the Necessary Revenue for support
of the Government by a Direct Tax
on Land Values.


QUANAH TEX, June 9, 1891.
Editor Gazette.
Picking up GAZETTE of May "a, the first
article attracting my attention was that OF
Alex Hogg on the economical situation, IN
which he goes on to point out the effect,
without giving a single thought to the
cause.
While lamenting the lack of equilibrium
in transInutation, transportation and trans
formation. it never occurred to him to stop
and see what caused this lack of equlll-
brium. but goes On to say. That in the
morbid greed for gain, the ambition to
grow rich, etc. agriculture has been
neglected" In their morbid greed 10
grow rich,'' men do not exercise any senti-
lnent as TO choice of business, whether it be
manufacture, agriculture or transportation.
They go into the business paying the
best In considering the cause of the rush
into manufacture aud other pursuits rather
than into agriculture we find that while
manufactures are really in receipt of a
bounty or premium, agriculture is fined
and fined heavily enough TO drive TO other
pursuits.
Mr.. Hogg SAYS: S.Make agriculture more
lucrative? No! Make the country home,
society, church and school privileges bet
ter
Ii, when the Samaritan passed by and
looked upon the man who had fallen among
thieves, had diagnosed his case, as friend
Hogg does the case of the masses of our
country, he would have suggested that be
fix up his owR wounds and seek better
society," and possibly climate
True. values must be created;' and they
come from mother earth, and everyone
must have chance to produce value-iu-
stead, we allow the few to monopoliZe the
source of wealth, and then tax labor TO pay
the expenses OF the government.
The remedy is, let everyone pay into the
common fund, for the common benefit, for
the privilege he enjoys; in other words,
take all taxes off labor and the products of
labor, raising the necessary revenue for
support of the government by a direct tax
on land values.
This will make the law of distribution
equal, and by the people carrying freight,
passengers, express and transmitting iu-
telligence by wire on the same plan as mails
are now carried the question of how much
currency or exchange medium we have viii
not cut so much Of a figure.
II seems that any man who will stop and
think for ten consecutive minutes as to
where all taxes eventually fall, who pay the
bankers, merchants, grocers', landlords
and manufacturers taxes, will be able 10
see what causes the trouble and be able to
divine at once the remedy. Abandon the
haste TO become rich When our system
has concentrated three-feurths of the
wealth in less than $4,000 out of the 5000,
COO persons, when we have made the
struggle for the almighty dollar so sharp
and so fierce that women are forced to sell
their embraces for bread and men will com
init almost any crime for money, it is like
a dog baying the moon TO suggest sentiment
and morality as remedy.

progressing appearance, and she held the

prepossessing appearance, and she held the
audience spellbound for few minutes.
Then came d touching and highly inter-
esting address by Mrs. S. S. Park, OF the
Texas conference Mrs. Park is an aged
lady, her voice quavering slightly, and as
she related touching bit of pioneer mission
airy life in Texas. she evidently touched
tender chord in the hearts of many OF her
hearers. She related in touching manner
the work of Rev. Robert Alexander; land,
says the speaker in an enthusiastic manner,
Il am glad to say that we have here in our
midst tonight, daughter of the Rev.
Robert Alexander, who is secretary OF my
district''
The speaker then touched upon the his
tory of the Woman's missionary society IN
Texas. Eve have 236 societies and five
conferences in Texas, and all of them were
organized by the Rev. E. Z. Keller" re-
marked the speaker 1--WE have sent in
TO the treasurer at Nashville, Tenn,
the sum of s33, 95i GO for foreign missions,
and with what We have given TO the chill
dren Of Mexico and other sources, we have
total of $44 44469 for our missionary
showing So when some OF our North
answer SA.444 worth. We have
PIG societies, 6Os9 members, 1872 advocates.
You Texas members, what were you before
the organization of the Woman's mission
airy society," The Woman's missionary
society has been almost like the
knowledge of the Lord to these
poor heather. It has lifted them
from low degree of degradation and
placed them upon the plane Of Christian
civilization. You ought TO be thankful for
the woman's missionary societies"
The speaker was applauded number OF
times, and her address was highly inter-
esting to all who heard it.
After the address by Mrs. Park came
song by the choir and prayer by Rev. Haral-
son, after which the audience received the
benediction and the meeting adjourned till

by various delegates, but the motion was
finally carried.

ship or Scholarships was given a good,
long discussion, but it was finally agreed to.

ference and when there how TO make

deal of animation and various methods

alive TO foreign missions be sent direct to

Points ON LHbrication,

A heavy bearing at low speed requires a
heavy lubricant if it be applied slowly; but
if it be applied fast light, greasy oil will
do the work well. In the former case a
heavy mineral oil will not fail to do the
work as well as any other oil, and at one
third less cost, because other oils of the
same body and viscosity would be too
sticky to work economically.
A heavy bearing at high speed requires
an oil especially viscous, Of very high fire
test. and a gravity which permits of its
spreading quickly into the smallest crew
ices, while its lubricating qualities are
such as will keep bearing cool. A light
bearing at low speed needs the lightesr
possible oil which will do the work. 4
light bearing of high speed is best lubri-
Gated by an oil of high gravity and high
fire test, one that will not evaporate, and
is entirely free from any acidity either in
its manufacture or in the process of re-
fining. The slightest gummy property in
an oil of this sort renders it the most ex-
pensive article that can be used. The WIS.,
costly of an Oil of this sort should be in
proportion 70 the work required of it.
