ANNOUNCEME ENT.

To the friends and members of the
Methodist Church:
Thursday, November 30th, 1899,
has been set apart by the authori-
ties of this country as day of
Thanksgiving. And in view of the
fact that this day has been ap-
pointed, and that God has watch
ed over us with His providential
care; and has not permitted pesti-
lence to visit us; and that God
continues to manifest his loving
care for us, it is meet and right
that we should come together and
express our gratitude to God for
these and all His blessings in an
act of public worship. That we
may thus return thanks, there will
be service at the First Methodist
Church, on Thursday, November
30, 1899, at eleven o'clock in the
morning, to which the public, the
| friends, and the members of the
church are cordially invited. The
service will consist of music and a
sermonappropriate to the occasion,
and a thank offering by those dis
posed to give. Yours truly,
j. NJ. HENRY, Pastor

STATE NEWS.

The following taken from tie
Sugar Planters Journal will prove
of some interest to our country
readers
As the legal relations between the
cane seller and the central sugar fac
tories are as yet In an uncertain
state, the following decision, III
favor of a cane grower, rendered
this week by the Supreme Court of
Louisiana, will be of interest to all.
The case was Ovlde Landry vs..
The Adeline Sugar Factory Com
pany, Limited, and the decision of
the court was as follows:-
81. The contrac, between cane
yrower and sugar factory for the
sale and delivery Of cane at the fac.
tory failed to mention upon whom
the obligation was to provide the
railway cars for the transportation
of the cane; whether the cane grow
er was to look to the railroad OF
whether the arrangement for the
cars was TO be made by the buyer
| of the cane. Held: The omlssion
of mention Of this left 1t open for
proof and The weight of the ,esti
mony being that the buyer under
took to look alter the same, be
must suffer the consequences OF tho
failure TO seasonably provide the
cars.
80. This il strengthened by the
fact that 1t was the custom OF the
country in contracts of this charac
ter that sugar factories buying cane
would arrange with the railway
company for the cars and thereafter
control their movement and destina
tiou."
We regard the public owner
ship of public utilities as one o.
the fundamental principles of
new and grander system of pollt
ical economy that is coming t.
rule and save society. 1t warns
our hearts to see how many grea
men and great newspapers ar
rallying to the support of thi
vital doctrine-says the Monro
Bulletin in its last Saturday
, issue.
