At the Baptist Church.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was my privilege to
listen on Sunday last to the Rev. Mr..
Wright, tie popular and eloquent di-
vine Of the Baptist church Of this city.
He selected for his subject Luke 18th
and part of the End verse, "He receiv-
eth sinners" The announcement of
his text at once fixed my attention, as
I had heard Rev. S. B. Jones, D. D.,
preach from the same text years ago at
Sandy Springs camp ground in Ander-
son circuit when he was the presiding
elder of Greenville District, though be
used the whole verse, This man re-
ceiveth sinners and eateth with them" !"
Mr.. Wright very tenderly touched
upon the feeling of man to man, and
ventured out upon the great sea of hu-
manity-man concerned about his fel-
low man. T was reminded of Paul
whilst he was prisoner in Rome, hav-
ing been already brought before Nero
the second time when he wrote to Titus,
his own son, after the common faith,
who was left in Crete, and told him to
warn the people to speak evil of no
man; to be no brawlers, but gentle,
showing all kindness unto all men.
Mr.. Wright dwelt considerably upon
this line of thought, and one of his
strongest points was that the poor had
the gospel preached unto them, and
how Christ remembered all of those
who were in need and trusted in him.
His miracle Of the loaves and fishes
was most forcibly brought out and
dwelt upon with much edification and
feeling. Oh, how these men ought to
stand in awe before God and ask to be
shorne of everything as the great oak
of the forest, then might we say:
Oh,that the world might taste and see
The fullneSS Of his iOTe,
Then in his love to encompass me
I'd SOar'to REALMS above.
When in tl At happy blsSful land,
Where loved ones now are gone,
I'd join in endless shouts of praise
While bliSsful yeaj 5 roll on.
Mr.. Wright is young divine of no
ordinary talent. He is mild but i'm
pressive; very much reminding one Of
our lamented and beloved Broaddus,
whose footprints we still see all over
our little city. May such men be
spared to go in and out among US for
many days, and receive the well-done
of all good citizens.

Rev. J. a. Sigh left Newberry on
Tuesday to be present as the delegate
to the Convention of Cotton Growers OF
the Cotton States to be held IN Atlanta
this week.
The Newberry County Alliange can
claim the honor of taking the first steps
looking to the holding of such a con-
vention. The fist movement looking
to such a convention was taken in the
Newberry County Alliance during last
summer in the shape of resolutions
offered by Rev. Mr. Sigh and adopted
oy the Alliance, calling attention to
he necessity Of just such convention.
1t has now assumed big proportions
and all the cotton States will be repre-
sented at the convention in Atlanta.

GEN POPE PRACTICES REFORM.
State Engrossing Department Reorganized.
Only Four Solicitors and Nine Clerks
Remain.
fpie State, 2Sth.1

The engrossing department. Of the
State government has been entirely re-
organized by Attorney General Pope.
The force throughout has been materi-
ally cut down. Gen. Pope has just COM
pleted the work, and all the appoint
ments have been made.
Recently vague Tumors as to the in
tended reorganization have been heard,
but nothing definite has heretofore
boen given.
Last evening a representative Of The
State called on the Attorney General
and asked him about the contemplated
changes. He said he had no objections
to making a statement, as he had
already completed the work.
THE REDUCTION.
Gen. Pope said he had decided to cut
down the number Of solicitors and
clerks. He will call upon only four So
licitors and reduce the clerical force to
nine men. This is very considerable
reduction.
THE APPOINTMENTS.
When asked if he could give the
names ofthe appointees Gen. Pope said:
"Yes, have called upon the following
solicitors to serve: J. VI. Johnson, of
the Fourth Circuit; P. H. Nelson, of the
Fifth Circuit; O. L. Schumpert, of the
Seventh Circuit, and NJ. +. Ansel of the
Eighth Circuit.
"On the clerical force, F. F. Coving-
ton, of Florence, will be chief clerk.
The other eight clerks have appointed
as follows: II. It. Wardlaw, Of Able
vile; William Aiken Kelly, Jr., Of
Charleston James Furse, of Barn
we'll J. H. Witherspoon, of Blacks
Vile S. W. Vance, of Laurens. Maury
Sims, of Columbia; W. H. Stack, ,Jr., Of
Columbia, and B. F. Townsend, of
Union"
Gen. Pope also said &: IF, after the
Legislature convenes, it becomes neces-
sary to have other solicitors and addi-
tional clerks, they will be promptly Sc
cured"
WHY 1T WAS DONE.
Gen. Pope, when asked why such
action had been taken, said: 81 be-
lieve economy demands the reduction
but if practical experience demonstrates
that I am in error, Of course l will take
steps to see that the pubic interests do
not suffer-"

STANFORD BACKS THE ALLIANCE.
His Money to Help Along His Boom fol
Presidential Honors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-It was
learned to-day on good authority that
Senator Leland Stanford is the money
power back of the Farmers Alliance
movement. "Bilp' Stow, noted lobby
ist of the Southern Pacific Company,
is engaged in the scheme to have Stan
ford nominated for President by the
Farmers Alliance.
President L. L. Polk of the Alliance,
who arrived on this coast few days
ago and vino has addressed Alliance
meetings in Southern California, came
to the State upon invitation of Senator
Stanford TO increase, if possible interest
in the Alliance movement in Southern
California, which is weak section as
far as Stanford is concerned. The Sena-
tor was never very popular in the
orange-growing part of the State.
The plans Of Stanford to secure the
Alliance nomination are well laid. His
boom will be started in the East or
South, and will come to him as an un-
expected honor.
Republicans say tonight that Stan
ford's nomination by the Farmers Alll-
ance will take away some votes from
their party in Nevada and California,
but to what extent the most astute
politicians cannot say. At all events,
Stanford and his millions will cut
figure in the next campaign.

AS our farmers are talking about re

AS our farmers are talking about re-
ducing the acreage in cotton in order
20 lessen the production, and thus raise
the price, these figures might be
studied with profit. Supply and de-
mand seems to have regulated the price
of cotton in some Of the seasons since
1925, but it IS such a tickle thing that
it is difficult to discover it, for in some
years, when there was decrease in
the supply, cotton brought a lower
price than in years when larger crop
was made. If we are to judge by the
season of 1S7I--72, we would say that a
decrease in production might raise the
price, fora million and a half bales less
that year than the year before increased
the price from 2l4 to 27SS.
Since 1866, with few exceptions, how
ever, the crop has grown larger each
year and the price less, until in 1S9O--9l
it went lower than it had been since
1S4s. The people about that time
didn't have the sewing machine to do
their sewing. and such things as f1oun-
ces and furbelows on calico dresses
were unknown. The people also were
very simple in their habits, and the
good wives and lassies did all the
family knitting and sewing with their
deft fingers. Store-bought hosiery and
ready-made clothing were seldom seen
in the country. The winter clothing
was made out of wool, and the hosiery
of the same material, all done al home.
With the invention and use Of the
sewing machine and machines for max
ing all the cotton trimmings Of the
present day, the demand for cotton has
increased. But the price has not got
much higher, ifany, and the cost ofrais-
ing the staple has increased.
If, besides decreasing the average in
cotton, our farmers will give their at
Stention more to raising breadstuffs,
they>will solve the problem as to their
present depressed condition. They can
not, however, manufacture all the
clothing FOR their families as our
forefathers did, for It is cheaper to buy
them, but they will find that some
attention to wool-growing will be more
profitable than nothing at all in this
line.
The figures from 1925 to the present
time are history in themselves, show
ing the growth Of one of the greatest
industries in the world. "Cotton is
King" in more ways than one. 1t
makes slaves Of some and princes of
others.
Aside from these reflections, the
above figures are perhaps most valuable
fer reference.

A COMPLICATED SITUATION.
Especial to the Register.l


CHARLESTON, S. Oct. 23.-The polit-
ical situation here is getting somewhat
complicated again. The Reformers

by twenty-eight majority in the fifth
ward are contested. Smythe has sent
in bis resignation to the chairman of
the Democratic executive committee,
who. however, refuses TO receive it. In

probably another election will have to
be>held. The air is air, ady filled with
rumors of clean sweep in all munich
pal offices at the disposal Of the new
administration. The Republicans
held convention on Monday for the
purpose of putting out a ticket for

The prices are those Of the cotton

to give the prices for this market, but
they varied about the same per cent. as
thew do now with New York prices.
