MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
The Testimony Of Diplomats Az to the Bsne.
fits Of their Work.

nt3 OF thelr WORK.
The October Missionary Herald pre-
sents views from leading diplomats
the American board whether the influ-
ence Of the missionaries has led to this
uprising and whether they ought to
withdraw and leave China to herself.
President Argell, Hon. Charles DENLY,
Hon. George F. Seward, all Of whom
have occupied the position Of minis
ter Of the United States to China; Hon.
John w. Foster, counsellor for China
in making terms with Japan, and Hon.
John Barrett, recently United States
minister to Siam, agree In praising
the quality and result Of missionary
enterprise and exonerate the missiona-
ries as a class from any effort to les
sen the loyalty Of the native converts
to the Chinese government. Ex-Sec-
retary Foster declares that all the
recent disorders have not changed his
opinion, formed six years ago after two
visits to China, that 1t is the most
hopeful field for missionary work in the
world. Mr.. Denby's testimony, which,
in its condensed and inclusive form, is
perhaps the most effective Of all five.
expresses the Judgment Of man who
made thorough study Of missionary
work in China, going on a man-of-war
from port to port with this view. He
says:
II visited Chefoo and the highest
open port, Neu Chwang, in Manchuria,
Taku, and -Tsin, and the island Of
Formosa. lived at Pekin, and knew
that city. I went through the mission
ary hospitals. attended synods and
church services. I saw the missiona-
ries, ladies and gentlemen, in their
homes. I saw them all, Catholic and
Protestant, and have the same opin-
ion Of them all. They are all doing
good work; they merit all the support
that philanthropy can give them
I unqualifiedly and in the strongest
language that tongue can utter give to
these men and women who are living
and dying in China and in the far East
my full and unadulterated commenda-
tion."

as It may seem to you, In whatever

There was such unusual feeling In
his voice, feeling that none had ever
suspected him capable Of before. that
Miss Halliday regarded him with as.

in her usual banter. Even the gen.

The COLI IN BOIL WEEVlL.
It l. a Most Serious Annoyance to the Grow.
ers of Texas.


Over 200 cotton planters attended the
convention which was held at Bren-
ham, Tex, on November IA, for the pur-
pose of considering the cotton boil Wee
vii pest and adopting some means for
it's eradication. It Is conservatively
estimated that this pest destroyed 1O0,-
600 bales in Texas during the past sea-
son. Prof. Frederick w. Malley, ex-
pert entomologist Of the state agricul-
tural and mechanical college, who has
been making a study Of the cotton boil
weevil for two years past, embodied
the results of his Investigations in an
address. His recommendations for ex-
terminating the weevil were embraced
in the following resolutions, Whlch
were unanimously adopted:
1--WE endorse the successive steps out
lined by Prof. F. w. Malley, OF the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical college,
which are necessary to successfully re-
pel the attacks Of the boil weevil, which
are as follows:
"First-Grazing off growing cotton,
cleaning all rubbish that affords pro-
lection to the weevil and burning the
same, and deep plowing. This should
be done at once.
"Second-Plan trap rows Of early ma
turing varieties Of cotton to trap the
emerging weevil in the spring.
Notwithstanding off the weevils from
these few rows, and then spraying
with this poison solution, which Is rec
commended as follows: One gallon OF
cane molasses, two ounces Of arsenic
boiled in water; four ounces Of arsen-
ate Of lead to forty-seven gallons OF
water.
"Fourth-That the fallen squares be
systematically gathered and burned at
intervals Of IL days.
"Fifth-That the spraying begin early
as soon as the squares begin forming,
and kept up once each week for May
and June, and at intervals Of 10 days
thereafter.
"Sixth-That early maturing varie-
ties of seed be imported from the north
ern portion of the cotton states and
planted as soon as practicable for the
trap rows.
"seventh-That spraying, gathering

conMoN HONESTY.
II Is the Only Safe Protection For Money
Vaults.

Vaults.
It was said the other day by several
bank presidents and capitalists, when
the largest defalcation known in the
history Of American banking took place
in New York, that the one practical
protection that the people had for their
money was common honesty. All the
schemes devised could not keep crimi-
nails from taking what did not belong
to them. The best banks in the coun-
try have been robbed by the employees
who were most trusted. The facts that
the wrongdoers had been speculating or
living beyond their means came out
afterward as they always do, but prov
ed little as to the carefulness Of the in
stitution in taking care of the moneys
intrusted to it.
After all Is said and done, after every
plan has been put in operation, the
final safety is common honesty. 1t is
that way in other departments and en-
terprises of life. Schemes may be in
vented, bonds may be taken and efforts
but in the end common honesty is de-
pended upon for protection and for
security.
It was the author Of Don Quixote
who uttered the immortal phrase,
honesty is the best policy" This has
been improved in later years by anoth-
er who said that there is no good poll
|cy but honesty. Grim old Thomas Car
lyle said, Make yourself an honest
man and you may be sure that there Is
one less rascal in the world" Wash
ington declared, II hope shall always
possess flrmness and virtue enough to
maintain what I consider the most en-
viable Of all titles, the character Of an
honest man."
In common honesty there is no COM
promise. A man who Is partly honest
is wholly dishonest. It is the real COM
mon honesty that the world needs, not
only in business but in it's social life,
it's religion and its politics, honesty
that will do what Is right and will
bravely face every duty. The-man who
has this virtue need have no fear OF
success in this world, for his reward In
material gains as well as in the higher
honors of life just as sure as anything
can be in this world.
There never was time when the
man of common honesty was 80 much
in demand, and there never was time
when common honesty was so profita-
BILE. The trickster and the shyster have
their day and their hour, but they are
sure to be caught in the end. But COM
mon honesty is for lifetime and for the
good name that endures long after life
is over.-Saturday Evening Post.

and burning the squares shall go to-
gether to insure the best results.
"Eighth-That sprayer, with boil
weevil attachment, be used in the
spraying efforts against the weevil.
"Ninth-That for the trap rows and
the small cotton planter, any good
knapsack sprayer is thoroughly effici-
ent and more practical than larger ma
chimes for small acreage"

ing in the constitution the amendment
providing for an elective judiciary
passed the house on Friday last by a
vote of 81 to 81. 1t had already passed
the senate by a vote of Sc to u. This
is all that is necessary for its insertion
in the constitution, but there will be
some legislation to give it effect. The
same vote that adopted the resolution
will attend to that.

Senator Bradley, of Kinds, has offered
a bill directing the penitentiary board

Aptl-Trust Legislation,

The bill introduced in the house by Mr..
Cox, of Prentiss, ito define trusts and
combines and to provide for the sup
preston thereof, and to preserve to the
people of this State the benefits arising
from competition in business" is the
splendid chapter lao of the code down
to and including paragraph d. with
with ten additional sections, clearly
defining combines and trusts, providing
penalties for same, and effective meas
urcs for enforcement. ANY corpora
ton, domestic or foreign, which shall
attempt to restrain the freedom of trade
or production; or which shall attempt
to monopolize the promotion, control or
sale Of any commodity, or the prosecu-
ton, management or control of any
kind, class or description of business;
or which shall attempt to engross or
forestall any commodity; or which
shall attempt to prevent competition j n
the manufacture or sale of a commodity
by offering the same for sale below the
regular market price, and also below
the normal cost Of production, shall be
deemed and held a trust and combine"
mo corporation shall purchase or
own the capital stock of any other cor
poration, or in any manner acquire the
franchise or equipment of any other
corporation engaged in the same busi-
ness and a competitor therein"
The indications are very decided that
this bill will pass the legislature, and
if it does not break up combines and
trusts in Mississippi it will be because
the people prefer to endure the ills they
have rather than avail themselves Of
it's provisions.
The death of DR.. Writ Johnston, on
Thursday night last, after only a few
days illness, from pneumonia, was a
great surprise, as well as a great grief
to the people of jackson. He was not
only a progressive, pu~blic-spirited citi-
zen, but n of the most eminent ply
sicians in the Southwest. DIR. Johnston
was born in Raymond in 1916, the
youngest child of Hon. Amos r. John
ston and the younger brother OF Capt.
Frank Johnston. He enlisted in With
ers' Artillery at the age of IS; imme-
diately after the war studied pharmacy
and medicine. and has been in active
and lucrative practice in Jackson since
in 1878. In 1876 he married Miss Mary
Barrows, daughter of Major d. N. Bar
rows, who survives him. His funeral
was the largest that has taken place in
Jackson in many years. His death is
certainly a great loss to the community

The Minister'S Work is Never Done.
A Monotonous Grind That Ever Keeps Him
Strained TO The Utmost.

"There is no limit whatever to the
minister's work." writes Ian Maclaren
of "The Minister and His Vacation, .
in the June Ladies Home Journal.
"The merchant knows that he can do
SO much work in eight hours because
he is dealing with affairs, but the min
lister never knows what he can do be-
cause he is dealing with ideas. 1t is
the necessity of production, even when
the mind will not produce, which
CRATES upon the nerves of a minister
and is apt TO break down hs health.
The journalist writes every day, but
he has something new to write about;
the literary man writes when he is in.
clined; the minister has to write on an
old subject-although the greatest
which can engage the mind-and he
has to write whether his mind is bright
or dull. 1t is only by patient reading
and unceasing prayer that he can ac-
complish his duty, and then he is ever
strained to the utmost, and never
knows the rest OF the man who does
his work with time and strength and
ideas to spare. When the minister in
active service lies down to die he will
be giving directions in his last con-
scious moments about letter that
has not been answered, and sending
explanations to family that has not
been visited, and when his mind
begins to wander it will be among
texts with which he has struggled and
efforts which he has made in valn."

enough for very light-draught canal boats
 Pittsburg proposes to secure through the general government a ship canal from Lake Erie, two hundred miles distant. It proposes to have the ore-bearing lake steamers unload at the doors of it's fur naces. The many millions involved in the Pittsburg plan should surely justify a cut sixty feet deep and 1000 feet long at Brooksville, thus uniting the Warrior and the Tennessee. The latter cut might cost a million dollars, whereas the Pittsburg improvement would cost thirty or forty or more millions. The cut at Brooksville will yet be made. It Is feasible and am pie water for slackwater navigation in the Warrior is very desirable to the country's export iron and steel trade. It is national undertaking even beyond the proposed costly ship canal that Pittsburg demands
