nizes the fact that some churches must
die while others live, and he seems to
think that the spectacle of active COM
petition between the various churches
is en- elevating one, and goes to show
the activity and progressive force pos
sessed by the church. The writer eX-
presses the hope that the churches may
contribute as much to the world in the
way of real solution of problems OF
organization along special lines as
has bene contributed by the manufac-
turing industries. He hopes that the
churches will fit themselves to lead in
solving the problems of help to those
that need help, and that they will
take their places among the greater
institutions of society,"" Some readers
will call the writer referred to eau
tons. Some will say he is hopeful;
some iconoclastic; some unfaithful;
some blasphemous. But to most read
ers his remarks will appear to be
merely frank and plain spoken to an
unusual degree. and the opinion will
be general that he has a message to
the churches that the churches will do
we'll to heed.

A prominent church writer contends
that the multiplicity of denominations
among the churches and the active
competition that is so evident in their
desire to attract and hold the greatest
number of people are of real value in
the progress of the church. He holds
that this competition will tend to devel-
OPP the most effective form of organiza-
ton and the highest efficiency, in
just the same manner that competition
in business develops the best that is
in men in the way of capacity for bus
mess organization and management.
His point of view is a novel one. AL
luding to the survival of the fittest
as a universal principle, he recog-

The report that the Pennsylvania
railroad intended to put on an eign-
teen hour train between New YORK
and Chicago. has aroused discussions
as to the highest speed possible, con-
sistent with safety. 1t is not so much
a question of the safety or possibili-
ty of the trains running SO fast or
faster, but that with increase of speed
there is increase of difficulty in stop
ping. Westinghouse put SO miles an
hour as the safe speed limit, claiming
that with any higher speed an engin-
eer could not see a danger signal in
time to bring his train to a stand
still before he had run into the danger.
That is to say that the speed of trains
is to be checked by the limits of human
vision.

The Herald has before alluded to
the fact that the commercial spirit is
the great vital force in the world to-
day, and that, properly directed and
used, this spirit may be made the most
powerful civilizing agent. The CEN
fury about to begin will witness the
cessation Of war, simply because war
does not pay. The Hague conferees
tried to formulate some plan under
which the nations might agree, NOR.
ally and intellectually. to abandon war.
But while such agitations are good.
the simple question, Will it pay? will
at the last call forth the solution of
the great problem. The desire for in
dustriaI development in Russia, for
example. is far more powerful than
the desire for conquest. William of
germany delights to pose as the pro-
moter of commerce and industry. and
is far less of a swashbuckler than he
was few years ago. 1t is well to
preach peace. and at this Christmas
time the message is timely. 1t is well
to revolt against the indulgence of the
lower. But at the close of the nine
teenth century the fact is wildly i'm
pressed upon us that war is uneco-
nomic, and the prospect is for a read
justment of ideals that will not permit
war. except for the gravest cause. simp
ly because war does not pay.

They sent their herd oyer to the Me-

LAKE PROVIDENCE AS A COTTON
MARKET.

J In another column will be seen the
card of the Wsldauer Company. OF
Greenville, offering to make loans dur
Ing the coming season on cotton with
in 20 per cent of the actual value at
the time of delivery. In other words,
the Wsldauer Company, through its
agent. Mr.. Sol Cohen, proposes to do
a commission business here, and to
give to the planters every facility for
cultiTating a cotton crop as can be
procured from commission houses in
Memphis, New Orleans or Yicksburg.
This is new departure in the cotton
business for Lake Providence, and one
that will be a great convenience to the
planters, and source of commercial
advantage to the town. We have seen
the great benefits derived by selling
cotton right here at home. MIR. Cohen
and Mr.. F. B. Davis paid out thousands
of dollars in Lake Providence during
the past three months for cotton. The
prices they paid often exceeded New
Orleans quotations Thus the planter
was enabled to get good figure for
his cotton, and he bad the advantage
OF knowing Immediately what the pro-
duct would bring him. without under
going the uncomfortable feeling of not
knowing what it wonld sell for. in a
distant market, in the hands of others.
This large increase in the volume of
money naturally increases the volume
of business. The transfer of the cot
ton to the buyer and the transfer
OF the money to the seller takes
place right here. The bulk of the
proceeds of the sales stay here. con-
seqnently the merchant gets his
share OF it, and the seller is en-
abled, by quick transfer of sale, to
get hold of ready money. which, as
general rule. he needs pretty badly.
The good effects of two cotton buy
ers, being so apparent, the thought
naturally suggests itself that Lake
Providence can become a small cotton
market and can do a good commission
business, With the territory surround
ing us-one of the richest and most
productive in the South-a large per
cent of the cotton business could be
done at home. We are therefore glad
to see this new business, which, al
though in embrio, promises to increase
the business of the town, to be great
convenience to cotton planters, and to
make Lake Providence assume a more
important position in the commercial
world.
