bad as they are sometimes pictured.
Centuries of bad government and bad
treatment have made them suspicious,
and it will be some time before we can
persuade them that we are not here for

good will and intentions and we are en-
abled to show them by example that we
mean only for their good and welfare /
think that we will find the Filipinos as
good Americans as any of our foreign
element"

New Orleans, Sept. 29--Intense ex-
element prevails on the cotton ex-
change. The directors met and sus-
pended business. The market was
scarcely opened when the operators be-
came paralyzed by advices from Liver
pool showing futures advancing by
leaps. In half an hour Liverpool
jumped nearly cent. Operators were
unable to explain the tremendous jump
and believed the wires had been tapped
and a gigantic swindle game was or
foot somewhere. Private cables are
going to Liverpool by dozens. seeking
information.
New York. Sept. 29.-The regular quo.
tations on cotton from Liverpool show
that instead of advancing by jumps, a.
understood at New Orleans, prices are
actually lower.

One Of the queries that aroused the

ease. and this. along with similar in
quiries, has been omitted.

Easter Services.

Easter services at the M. E.
Church South were appropriately
and ittingly observed last Sunday
morning. The usual Sunday school
lesson, with questions and answers
by teachers and pupils, was dis.
pensed with, and in its stead re-
sponsive reading, led by the
superintendent, Capt. j. w.
Irwin.
Following this was an appro.
pirate program, consisting of
Rotations, music, etc, prepared
by the Woman's Mission Board
and rendered by the younger
members Of the Sunday school.
The program prepared by the
choir especially for this occasion
was complete in every detail and
embraced a choice selection of
appropriate sacred music includ'
ing anthems, solos and Duets.
The program was not only very
creditably rendered but was the
leading feature of the services.
That the labors of this indispen-
sible body were appreciated and
enjoyed was made manifest by the
largo number present and by the
unmistakable interest and atten-
ton that prevailed throughout.
Rev. e. L. Gregory, after the
reading of a short lesson from
Luke xxiv:1-2, spoke feelingly of
the crucifixion and resurrection of
the Savior Jesus Christ, referring
to the suffering endured and the
sacrifices made by Him for the
redemption of mankind, urging all
to claim Him as their savior and
lead better lives. AT the close of
the sermon the sacrament was
administered.

1t costs money to print every
line of a newspaper, and when it
is done for the benefit of an indi.
vidual, political party or assccia.
ton, it is the equivalent of cash
and ought to be so appreciated
and paid for. fla man should 60
into grocery, dry goods or hard.
ware store, or anywhere, and ask
to be given an article without pay
he would be empbatically refused.
The newspaper must pay for all
free advertising and puffs, and if
those benefited fail to contribute
toward the expense it is the loser.
1t is the most difficult thing on
earth to teach people that the
newspaper columns are for rent,
in order that the proprietor may
live. To give away such space is
as fatal TO prosperity as it would
be to the banker to loan money
without interest, the farmer to
give his produce without pay, or
the landlord to furnish houses
without rent.-Ex.
