This is an age of progress and the
church cannot afford to stagnate. The
clergyman of today takes advantage OF
modern improvements. He pays pas
toral calls on bicycle; he lights his
church by electricity and he is expert
menting with the plan of giving his
sermons a wider circulation by trans
mitting them to his parishioners by
telephone. The newspaper is by far
the most effective aid he can employ.
1t is the ultimate manifestation of
modern progress and energy. The
church cannot do without it.

Bearing in mind that the present

Treatment of Women In Former Times.

Treatment of Women In Former Times
From the subversion of the Roman
Empire to the fourteenth or fifteenth
century women spent most of their
time alone, almost entire strangers to
the joys of social life; they seldom
went abroad, but to be spectators of
such public diversions and amuse-
ments as the fashions of the times
countenanced, Francis l. was the first
who introduced women on public days
to court; before his time nothing was
to be seen at any of the courts OF Eu-
rope but gray-bearded politicians,
plotting the destruction of the rights
and liberties Of mankind, and warriors
clad in complete armor, ready to put
their plots in execution. In the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries ele-
gance had scarcely any existence, and
even cleanliness was hardly consid-
cred as laudable.
The use of linen was not known,
and the most delicate of the fair sex
wore woolen shifts. In Paris they had
meat only three times week, and one
hundred livres (about twenty-five dol
lars) was large portion for young
lady. The better sort of citizens used
splinters of woed and rags dipped in
oil instead of candles, which, in those
days, were hardly to be met with.
Wine was only to be had at the shops
of the apothecaries, where it was sold
as cordial and to ride in two-
wheeled cart along the dirty, rugged
streets was reckoned grandeur of so
enviable nature that Philip the Fair
prohibited the wives of citizens from
enjoying it. In the time of Henry
VIII of EL>land the peers of the realm
carried their wives behind them on
horseback when they went to London,
and in the same manner took them
back to their country seats, with
hoods of Waxed linen over their heads,
and wrapped in mantles of cloth to
secure them from the cold.

The present year will have among
it's noteworthy anniversaries the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
death of Isaac Watts. 1t will be chiefly
as writer of hymns that he will be
honored by affectionate remembrance.
Of his hymns the Christian world has
chosen few as eminent. If he
had written only the hymn beginning,
80 God, our help in ages past, his
name would have sure place in the
roll of makers of verse worthy and des-
tined to live. A great hymn levels de-
nominational barriers. While men are
talking of Christian unity, or dream
ing of it, the hymn, in its sphere OF in
fiuence, if only for the moment when
heard or sung, makes believers one. He
who has strengthened and inspired gen
erations refreshing the saints and NOV
ing those who make no pretensions to
saintliness, may well be remembered.

Cotton manufacturing in Mexico Is

ness. In Mexico the conditions u
success are made possible because OIL

This is not all. Exports of the prod
ucts of American cotton goods to for
eign countries generally have largely
fallen off since the passage of the tarlt
bill. The Pittsburg Post shows that
for September and October of this year
under the Dingley tariff the expors
amounted to S2,643,S7O, but for the
same months last year, under the Will
son tariff, they were $3,563,3bo, OF
nearly a million dollars more.
Thus the cotton industry is handl-
capped in two important matters. The
Dingley tariff prevents exports to Cam
ada and Europe, while the gold stand
ard cuts off trade with Mexico.
The moral of the question is that
bimetallism is the best kind of Protec-
ton. 1t at once breaks the back Of
monopoly and at the same time stim-
ulates the home markets.

of the effort to organize the township

Unless the township organizations
are looked after without more delay,
and the county organization also got
ten in shape forthwith, there is danger
that there will be no money for York

AFTER THE COMMISSION.
The Author of the Telegraph and Express
Bill Complains.

The Author of the Telegraph and Express
Bill Complains.
To the Editor of The State:
I cannot understand why it is that
the railroad commissioners are contin-
ually postponing action in the matter
of making rates to govern express and
telegraph companies, and enforcing
the same.
BY request, introduced the bill that
placed express and telegraph compa-
nies under the railroad commissioners.
Before the passage of that bill the tele'
graph and express companies made
their own rates as between points in
this state. Those rates were not only
exorbitant, as I have been Informed
by business men; but were also uncer.
tain, and hence the necessity for the
bill. The express and telegraph com
panies made money, undoubtedly.
Note the value, of their stock And
heretofore having the power to make
their own rates, would they make a
rate whereby they would lose money
I see by today's State that the at
torney for the express companies made
an argument before the commissioners,
asking them to increase the express
rates l cent on all packages, in order
that the shipper may pay the war
revenue.
What did the commissioners do
Instead of giving positive and direct
answer, refusing to increase the rates,
they paused, and asked The attorney
to submit to them his argument in
writing, and that they would give him
their decision in a short time. Now,
we all expected the different compa-
MES intended to fight this bill but we,
or rather l, did expect and hope that
the railroad commissioners would do
their duty faithfully. They pretend to
want to save the people of the state
money; but when the opportunity is
presented they do not take advantage
of it. The attorneys for the compa-
nies seem to have captivating infu-
ence over them. 1t was an argument
used against the passage of this same
bill, that the present railroad commits
sioners were men incapable of hand
ling the railroads and where was the
use of putting them in control of the
express and telegraph companies? l
endeavored to defend them from the
charge of wanton neglect of their
business, and unftness for this Office
but am now somewhat of the opinion
that they either do not know how to
manage the business of their office, or,
knowing, they are acting in bad faith
with the people of the state, especially
as regards this express and telegraph
company act. The bill was approved
the 21st day of February, 1898, and
now the year is drawing to a close and
the commission still postpone definite
action. w. b. DELoACH.
