The form in which the "D5claration"
appears as furnished by the Secretary is
that in which the matter will go before
the Convention of so for ratification or
rejection. No changes or amendments
can be made from the official record now
furnished. 1t is that or nothing so far
as Boston 90 is concerned. Any change
would throw the entire question open
and would require two votes of the Cen
eral Convention to make new creed or
profession finally effective.

TESTIMONY TO MISSIONS

Sir Charles Elliott, lieutenant governor
of Bengal, has just given extraordinary
testimony to the success of Christian mis-
sions in that province. He says that-to
take the last argument frst-the' assist
ance given by the missions which he speci :
ties, to the work of civilization and good
administration has been been considerable.
He specifies that the first convert made
by the college mission in Darjeeling is now
filling the high post of inspector of police.
He declares that the missionaries wisely
voice the spirit of self-aoyernment; that
the branches established in various viii
lagos are, to a considerable degree, self
supporting, build their own churches. and
also partially pay for their own pastors.

SOCIOLOGY NOT YET SCIENTIFIC.

1t is evident that sociology has not yet
reached developed scientific form; for no
two writers fully agree with each other a
to what is its fundamental truth Even
in defining the science, there is wide
variance, not only as to its subject matter,
but also as to the principles which give it
a logical form. Perhaps this result is in
evitable, for it gives evidence that no me-
chanical Interpretation of social life is
capable of celebrating its primary facts.
1t is because of the dynamic nature of
man, his soul life, his life of feeling, in
tuition, and aspiration, that his social ex-
istence cannot be brought strictly under
the categories of science, and made to
yield unvarying results. Individual ini-
tiative cannot be accounted for, or the
genius held strictly within the limits of
scientific formula. ~ Christian Register.

"ALTRuIsM GONE MAD. +"

"Bellamy shows more heat than light.
The chief value Of what he has to say lies
not in his pictured Utopia, but in his often
brilliant and suggestive criticism of the
wastefulness, wickedness, and inequali-
ties Of our present economic system. But
these same criticisms are feverish and
agitated One feels the justice of the
structures, but with a subconscious con-
viction that the saving and hopeful ele-
ments of our social development have had
no adequate consideration. In dealing with
large questions, reason and wisdom are
better weapons than an assortment of ex-
purgated billinEsgate. Hard names make
very little impression on the seasoned
armor Of the wicked capitalist This very
heat, however, is one source Of the Won
derful hold socialism is obtaining ON the
popular imagination for il arises from
intense sympathy with the unfortunate
classes, and uses the doctrine of equality
as a demand for a fair chance in the world
for each of its inhabitants. ''-Interior.

OUR G4L4 REX.

The .ast week has been one of gayety and amusement. The Great Fair has become q thing of the past, Thos. Keene has come and gone, and altogether one of the most mem orable weeks in the chronicles of Pine Bluff has passed into memory and history. But there was Q gay old time in town while 1t lasted, and the community has been reinvigor- ated and innervated thereby The city has been rebaptised in the founu of activity, and there has been such a general re-awakening as has not been known here in years. Pine Bluff has awakened from her lether- gy and inertia of the past few years and has again forged to the front in progressive enterprise. It has been demonstrated beyond peradventure that fair is a good thing, and we can henceforth expect it to be an annual event of increasing interest. We are rejoieed to see the re=awak- ening. It is pleasing to observe that Pine Bluffians are themselves again. With the same enterprise and energy that characterized our eiti- zens a few years ago when they built up the town from a population of 5, ,000 to 15, ,O00, they can build it up to 30,000. What we need here is 8 general re.awakening, a re-baptism at the fount of progress, a separa- ton from the old raw-hide that has bound Us in the hands of inactivity, a confidence ia ourselves, our city and our county, a re-iuspiration to great deeds in all that adds to the material prosperity and happiness Of a people, a love for our neighbors and loyalty for our community, our home and our native land. If the successful Fair just closed shall serve to re.ivify and revltalize this community, its possibilities for good are utterly iIlimitable.
 Pine Bluff is the greatest town on earth, and 1t can be made the most prosperous and happy community under c sds glorious and shining sun, if our people will but work in harmony and stand together for the accomplishment of this noble and grand purpose.

MAY BE DECIDED TODAY.
Banks and Assessors StnI Apart on
Tax Returns.


Tax Returns.
The committee of the Savannah clearing
association and the board of tax assessors
will meet at 1 o'clock to-day The basis
upon which the banks shall make their
returns, or the percentage of deduction to
be allowed from the market value of their
stock, will probably be decided at this
meeting.
At the last meeting between the com
mittee and the assessors, the committee
suggested a reduction of 20 per cent from
the market value of the capital stock of
the banks as fair basis for making their
returns. The assessors, however, thought
this too much, but took the matter under
consideration. Secretary Osborne of the
board of assessors, addressed a letter to
Capt. Henry Blum, chairman of the clear
ing committee, announcing that the as
SCISSORS were unwilling to allow more than
II per cent. reduction, to cover unearned
interest and allow for the huctuating val
ne of the stock. This letter was received
by President Blum yesterday morning and
laid by him before the clearing commit
tee. The committee discussed the question
at length, but without coming to any de-
cisive conclusion, Capt. Blum informed a
Morning News reporter. The bankers con-
slider the reduction of II per cent. too
small and will urge upon the assessors
that 20 per cent. be made basis
I'VE are not in position to say what we
will or what we win not do" said Capt
Blum. 1.-The tax assessors have the power
and we must do what they say. 1t is an
important matter TO us, as a precedent will
be established which will doubtless be fol-
lowed for years to come"
Capt. Blum said that some of the banks
have money invested in South Carolina
lands on which they pay taxes in Carolina.
He wanted to know if they were to be al
lowed any deduction for this or whether
they must pay taxes again in Georgia.
When required to pay taxes according to
the market value of their stock they are
allowed no deduction for United States
and state bonds held by them, although
these are made nOn-taXable by law.

NAVAL RESERVE ENCAMPMENT.
VIII Probably &c Held Near Beau
fort ina July.

VIII Probably &c Held Near Beau
fort ina July.
The navy department has decided to
have the naval reserves of Georgia,
South Carolina and North Carolina hold
joint encampment at place near Beau
fort, S. c., some time during the months
of June or July.
The department has communicated with
the military authorities of each OF the
states and secured their approval Of the
plan, and it is more than probable that
the encampment viii be held.
Lieut.. Colding Of the Savannah Naval
Militia has received a letter from the
commandant Of the naval station at Beau
fort, stating the wish of the department
that the encampment be held. and re-
questlng that Lieut.. Colding notify him
of the time best suited to the Savannah
militia for their attendance. Lieut.. Cold
ing will suggest the early part of July
as the time most convenient.
Rates for transportation will be secur-
ed, and the government Will defray most
of the expenses If the Savannah militia
goes II will probably be by water. The
U. S. cruiser Raleighawill be stationed off
the encampment, while 1t is being held.
The place selected is In an oak grove with
a hard sandy beach. The slope is abrupt
and the Raleigh will be close in shore.
The encampment will be under the direc-
ton Of Lieut.. Gibbons OF the navy.

Fatal FAIL FRoM A WINDOW.
Charles DebeIe Found Dead In Front
of HIS Home.

Mr.. Charles Debele was found dead on
the sidewalk in front of his home. No. 2ls
Anderson street. east. shortly after 2
o'clock this morning by Mounted officer
G. L. Smith.
An open window in the second story i'm
nediately above where the body lay and
the night dress told the story of the way
in which death had come.
Officer Smith had passed by the place
fifteen minutes before and the body was
not seen then nor did he notice any
thing unusual on his return
he saw the white robed figure boldly re-
lieved against the sidewalk. Disseminating,
he examined the body and saw the man
was dead. He blew his whistle several
times arousing those in Mr. Debele's and
the adjoining house. The officer then went
to the police box and telephoned head
quarters. The coroner was notified and
went to the scene.
The blinds of the window through which
Debele fell had BEEN thrown wide open
and the lower sash was raised to its fun
hight. Mr.. Debele fell on his head, crush
ing in the left upper portion.
The body lay with the feet
to the street, and the blood had run to
the edge of the sidewalk.
Mr.. Debele leaves a wife and seven chill
dfen, one of whom is Mrs. Nellie Gather
wood. One of the children, Fred, is en-
ployed in the Georgia and Alabama offices
at Americas. He was wired of his fathers
death.
Mr.. Debele had been a butcher in the
city market for a number of years and
was very well known. He was g. years
old He had been a great suffer-
er of late from a swelling of
the veins of his left leg and
this trouble was known to have preyed
upon his mind 1t was thought by some
that he might have become crazed by
pain and leaped from the window He was
not at work yesterday, having been con-
fined to his room by illness

COTTON MILLS TO SHUT DOWN.
The Mill Property and Plant to BE
Sold.

Sold.
At a meeting Of the stockholders of the
Savannah cotton mills yesterday after
noon at the office OF the president, Mr.
George w. Owens, it was decided to adj
vertise the property for sale. The mills
will be closed this week.
The meeting lasted for some time Mr.
Owens, when seen after the meeting, de.
elined to enter into any statement of the
reasons which led to this action by the
stockholders. The idea of issuing bonds
with which to re-equip the property and
continue operations had been discussed
he said, but this was considered imprac-
ticable, and 1t was decided to offer the
property for sale. For several years, Mr.
Owensfsaid. the mills paid very handsome
dividends, but for the last three years
they have paid none.
The closing down of the mills will be
a loss In more ways than one. There are
now in the employ of the mills about 100
operatives, and as there is no similar bus
mess here in which they can find en-
ployment, il will be necessary for them
to go elsewhere. This means not only
loss In population to the extent of 200 to
800 people, but also a loss to the shop
keepers with whom the employees spent
their weekly wages. 1t may be that some
move viii be made by local capitalists TO
buy In the property and continue its OPP
