discretion of committee to be designated
by the Synod: the said committee to use

inc of more. porey 10 the missioner

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SYNOD.
The Recomm ndations Of the Home Mission
Board Adopted.

Considerable time was taken up yes
terday morning in the discussion OF the
recommendations in the report OF the
Home Missions Committee, submitted at
the missions meeting on Thursday night
by Rev. E. e. Gillespie. Most of this dis
acussion was in regard to the territory
north and east of Chowan River The re-
Ecommendation of the committee in regard
to this district was that more money
and attention should be devoted to the
work there. DR.. Stagg made substitute
motion to the effect that this part of Abe
marie Presbytery be turned over to the
Iare of the Virginia Synod as had been
Suggested by that body. Several other
members were of this opinion, but vigor-
BUS speeches were made en- the other
Side, and on the putting of the question
the, original recommendation as reported
was carried
The recommendations, in full, as adopt
ed by the Synod were as follows:
u 1. Synod, recognizing it's obligation and
privilege of sending the gospel to the
many destitute sections within our
bounds, being encouraged by the signal
blessing attending the labors of our faith
full teachers and evangelists, reafiirms
it's purpose to proseeutei more vigorously
the work already inaugurated and to
open new fields as rapidly as the liber-
ality Of Gods people will permit.
2. Synod directs it's court to cooperate
with Albemare Presbytery-placing
man for all his time in that territory
lying north and east of Albemarle Sound,
east of Chowan River, and prosecute our
work in that section as rapidly as men
and means can be obtained
g. That the Sunday schools devote two
collections annually to Synodical Home
Missions, said collections to be taken
during the months of June and September.
4. The Synod, recognizing the valuable
services rendered our evangelists by the
faithful and consecrated young men and
women who have labored without COM
pensation within our bounds during the
past summer, hereby expresses its most
hearty appreciation of what they have
done to so greatly advance the cause of
Christ in our home mission territory.
5. That all the pastors, sessions and
evangelists heartily support the superin-
tendent by giving him appointments with
their congregations and earnestly coop
Grating with him in his efforts to secure
liberal contributions from their people.
G. That our present work may be sus-
tanned and enlarged, and new fields occu-
ried, Synod undertakes to raise $4,000
during the ensuing year and apportions
this sum among the Presbyteries as fol-

The White Rats of America is the

A Clever blind Man.

The New Orleans Times-Hemocra
tells OF blind man in a southern city
who goes to the postoff1ce every day
carrying a small, light riding whip
which he holds slightly inclined to tn,
front, with the tip Just touching tn,
pavement His sense Of touch has be
come SO delicate that the whip is al
most an artificial eye. When the poin
encounters anything, he makes a few
swift passes over the surface and gen
orally determines the exact character
OF the obstacle. 1t is done so ouIckl,
and deftly as to attract no attention
and few passers have the least suspi
cion Of the old mans infrmity. wher
he reaches the postofice, he turns un
hesitatingly, mounts the middle stairs
walks over to the lock boxes and with
out any feeling around thrusts a key
into the right aperture.

Hoodlumism,

stopped for a time at the scene of
the recent wreck. two miles north
of this city. As soon as it did so
men and boys alighted by the score
and entered the premises of George
McLain and destroyed and carried
off watermelons from a two-acre
tract. They also destroyed a
'goober" patch valued at $1,000.
The family of Mr.. McLain were
away from home, and such an act
of hoodlumism by people of en-
lightened Texas is a disgrace to
her name. Mr.. McLain estimates
his loss at about $40.

TAXES ANornHR TURN.
The interior Department 0verrules
a Former Ruling.

The interior Department Overruies
a Former Ruling.
On the eve of sending away the
plat Of Ardmore for approval the
townsite commission has received
instructions from the interior de-
partment which will. if adhered to.
knock everything awry.
To begin with. the department
made ruling some time ago in
specific case taken up from South
McAlester that where a man had
improved more than one lot in
block, and there was no serious
and valid objection to his retaining
the whole tract, the same could be
surveyed and plated in his name
and he would be given the privi-
lege OF purchasing the whole, one
lot at so per cent. of the appraised
value and the excess at 62t per
cent.
1t was under this ruling that the
commission here, as well as in
the Choctaw nation, has been
working and the plat Of Ardmore
was made in conformity with those
instructions.
In communication of consider
able length just received by the
the commission, the department
makes ar exhaustive review of the
law governing the laying out of
townsites and closes by overruling
it's former instructions and pro-
mitigating new rules.
These new rules provide that all
business lots shall be 25x150 feet
and all residence lots 1OOx150 and
that all land in excess of these
limits held by any~one person
shall be deemed and considered
vacant and shall be advertised and
sold to the highest bidder, pro-
vided, that where separate, inde-
pendent and substantial improve
f ments are owned by one and the
, same person on different lots. that
! person may purchase one of such
lots at so per cent and the remain
der at 60 IL per cent of the ap-
Q praised value.
The effect of this ruling, if
adhered to, will be to cause much
trouble and inconvenience to own
ers of some of the incest residences
: in Ardmore, which haye been
!, erected in the center of lot which
o exceeds the limits now fixed by the
department. Therefore they would
be compelled to bid against the
public for that portion of their loi
which was in excess of the limit
fixed by the department and might
be compelled to pay an exorbitant
Il price therefor.
Besides this feature of the case
if the new ruling is enforced il
will necessitate an entire change
in the plat as now made and viii
4 therefore necessitate a tedious
delay in the final completion of the
work.
Col. johnson hopes to be able to
5 make an explanation to the depart
4 ment which will satisfy the officials
q that the enforcement of this ruling
will be inequitable and unjust as
regards Ardmore property and thai
the best interests of the people
n here will be subserved by the
;. approval of the present plat. He
: hopes to secure the cooperation oi
s a majority of our people in his
effort to secure its approval.
1t is certainly an anomalous con.
dltion and the department will
cause much uncertainty and con
e fusion. as we'll as much inconven
IS fence and property loss to people
if it insists on carrying out the
e letter of its new ruling.

Ardmore Colon Exchange.


The business interests of Ard
more are to be congratulated on
the organization of the Ardmore
Cotton Exchange. which today in
augurated their market service,
receiving by direct private wire the
continuous market quotations from
the principal exchanges of the
world.
The location of the exchange at
Ardmore is the result Of the earn
est efforts on the part of the cotton
factors and buyers of this section,
under whose auspices and patren-
age the Exchange will exist. The
Exchange starts prepared to per-
form all the legitimate functions
of cotton Exchange. AS public
utility to a cotton community it
forms as important g position
as a bank, commercial club or rail-
road, and cities in the cotton belt
which do not posses such facilities
are at such a disadvantage that
usually a large percentage OF the
cotton is diverted to more enter
prising localities. The cotton men
of this city are live and progress
i've and they are now in position
to reach out and extend their ter
ritory.
The Exchange will be conducted
under the personal management o.
| Messrs. Guillot Bros. of Dallas
and Gainesville, who come highl.
recommended as gentlemen o
known financial standing, recort
and experience.
This firm will accept no trade
on futures" but will engag
purely in a legitimate brokerag
and commission business, handlin
spot cotton at times for easter

The public are cordially inyite
to visit the Exchange.
