portunity to Western farmers and those

them, for refunding loans on farms at
rates of interest which could be more
easily borne. 1t has been predicted by
some well known financiers in the
Eastern states that by May l money
can be borrowed on call. as in New
York, for instance, on the basis of /
per cent per annum. Investment Sc

rapidly In price during the past twelve
months that many now hesitate to buy
stocks and bonds at the soaring figures
Tor the reason that, when the premium
is computed and due allowance Is
made for commissions to brokers the
actual return on the investment Is SO
trifiing as to become uninviting. If
dividends on stocks were always an
assured quantity, this would be differ
ent. But when railway or an indus
trial corporation may see fit to reduce
or suspend dividends the investor has

its reduced market value or hold fast
to it and await the return of a surplus

Many of the farmers of the North
west today represent the pioneer ele-
ment in the settling of this new terri
with little or nothing, and a large pro-
portion of their earnings has been ap-
piled to the payment of excessive rates
on the money they were compelled to
borrow in order that they might pursue
and make more perfect their work.
This condition Of things has often de-
veloped spirit of unrest, and even
served to breed disordered opinions as
to the true uses and value of money.
In certain sense these brave and
courageous men have not been to blame
for the belief that has often prevailed
among them that they were really the
victims of oppression. But oftentimes
INSCRIPTIONS loan agents In their own
communities were the actual offenders
rather than he whose money passed

The capitalist, or it may be the man
in the East with small savings which
he desires to invest, prefers a mort

bonds Of corporations. He suggests to

he will loan certain amount on good
improved farm lands in the West or
Northwest provided he can realize 7 per
cent or per cent on the investment.
This leaves the agent free to add as
much more TO his victims burden as
he pleases. and this stands in the ma

metals OF the church h avo sou, ht to as
certain whether Rev, Mr.. Neighbors
would accept transfer to the Louis
vile conference, and an appointment
70 their church. The congregation has
neard Rev. Mr.. Neighbors several
umes' as he was with DR.. McFerrin,
August of last year, in a revival and
camp meeting near Louisville. He
subsequently filed the Broadway pull
pit.
The Broadway Methodist church is
the leading Southern Methodist con-
gregatlon in Louisville. 1t has new
and taolern church edifce, completed
within the past two years, and is in
every way an ideal metropolitan charge.
The Louisville conference meets at
Glasgow, KY, October 4, and if Rev.
Mr.. Neighbors is to receive the Broad
way assignment it will likely not be
made until October or 0, if at all dur-
ing that conferences session. And,
too, if the bishop sees fit to assign him
TO the Louisville church, it may not be
done until after the adjournment Of the
Holston conference, which meets at
Bluefield, w. Va, October 18th.
Rev. W. S. Neighbors Is one of the
best known Southern Methodist minis
ters IN this section Of the state. He
has been located in this city, as the
pastor of the Broad street Methodist
church, for the past three years. He is
universally beloved by his people, and
his departure from Knoxville would be
sincerely regretted. The fact that he
has solicited no charge, and that he
awaits the of the bishop, whatever IL
| may be, only adds to the esteem in
which he is held here. The members
OF the Broad street congregation are
anxious to retain him here another year
as, according to the rules Of the church
pastor may remain at one charge four
years, If the bishop so elects. It isun-
derstood q committee will be sent to
Bluetield to urge upon the bishop the
disappointment of Rev. Mr.. Neighbors
to the local church.
From reliable source it is learned
that Rev. T. @. Carroll, d. D., the
presiding elder of the Knoxville dis
trict, will recommend Rev. Mr.. Neigh
bors for appointme as q presiding ell
der in Holston conference, next year.
1t is also stated that he is being con-
sidered in connection with the leader
ship OF the educational fund movement
in this conference, and may be given
on assignment in this department Of
the church work.
Whatever his work may be, Rev. Mr..
Neighbors' friends are content it will
be rightly and enthusiastically per-
formed. Wherever he goes, if he is
taken away from Knoxville, his friends
here will ever entertain for him most
cordial esteem, which is akin to broth
ly affection. Few ministers have ever
endeared themselves to the people OF
Knoxville in SO shorta time, as has Rev,
W. s. Neighbors, during his short
residence of three years in this city.

Rev. W. s. Neighbors Wanted in Louisville

Rev. W. s. Neighbors, pastor Of the

after the next session of Holston confer
ence, as the pastor of the Broadway
Methodist church, of that city, says
the Knoxville Sentinel.
The officials of the Louisville church
recently sent formal communication
to prominent Southern Methodist of
this city, asking him to ascertain from
Rev. Mr.. Neighbors whether he would
consent to transfer from the Holston
to the Louisville conference, and be-
come the pastor of the Broadway

When Rev. Neighbors was shown

with the matter of his location, as that
is entirely in the hands Of the Bishop.
He declines to express any opinion as
to whether he would prefer to remain
in Holston conference, or to go to the
Louisville charge. This answer having
been given, the Louisville church is
without a positive declaration from
Rev. Mr.. Neighbors, as to whether he
would be pleased to be its pastor. The
whole situation may be summed up in
