Secretary Joel Kennedy. in his annual re-
port, said that number of letters had been
received from different members raising the
questions as to the rights of an EMPLOYER
with MS employees. A letter from Chica-
go member recommended that the sanitary
end OF the painting trade be discussed with
view of melting the feeling of the neces-
saty for license for the trade He said
that he hoped that both questions would be
brought before the convention through the
question box. The secretary noted, with
pleasure, that local associations have been
organized in large number of cities dur

Methodist Orphanage Gets 1880.

The subscriptions for the Methodist
Orphanage are most gratifying to the
officers and friends of that institu-
ton. This item from the Kinston
Free Press shows the generosity of
the Methodists of that town to their
Orphanage:
''The members of the Methodist
Church of Kinston have subscribed
$1,310 for their Southern educational
fund. The Orphanage at Raleigh gets
5000 of this. The balance of this
amount will be given to Trinity, Lit
Teton and Davenport colleges, to be
used as a loan Aund for needy and de-
serving young men and women who
desire to secure a higher education
In announcing Sunday night to his
church how much had been raised,
Mr.. Tuttle said that he had never
known a fund to stop at such an
amount as this and he therefore eX-
pected it to be greatly increased be-
fore he stopped"

TIE COTTON SITUATION.
In Mississippi the Crop Is so Per Cent Off. In
Georgia 1t Is Is Per Cent Short

Prof. II. c. White, of the University
of Georgia, said that Georgia's total
output will be million bales; that
the present condition of the crop was
fairly represented by IA.
Col. Rerhead the Commissioner of
Agriculture of Mississippi, is one of
the most earnest workers of the con-
vention. There is no regularly es-
tablished Agricultural Department
in Mississippi, but Col. Redhead holds
his position the appointment of the
Governor. At the last meeting of
the Mississippi Legislature he made
strenuous efforts to have the Legis.a-
tire permanently establish such de-
partment, but the effort failed. But
the Colonel deserves success, and it
will be a strange thing if the next
Mississippi Legislature fails to take
the necessary steps.
| asked him yesterday about the
condition of the cotton crop of his
State. He said:
Mississippi will not produce more
than half a crop. In the eastern part
of the State the crop condition is less
than so; but in the Delta, the condi-
ton is about rs. Averaging the State
the crop will not be more than so.
'The delta raises probably 65 per
cent of the crop of the State. Last
spring there was an increase in acre
age planted of not less than 10 per
cent, but the excessive acreage was
diminished by the heavy rains. and
[ do not believe that there is in cot
ton now more than IS per cent of the
usual acreage"

The United States imports from Italy
and Southern Russia nearly a million dol
lars worth of hemp per annum. This is
a high grade hemp for which our people
pay about seven cents pound, and 1T
is used chiefly in the manufacture of
carpet warps The Department of Agri-
culture is trying to find out why Ameri
can hemp growers continue to produce
three cent hemp, when by little more
care and expense they could produce this
seven cent hemp, for which there is al
ready a market in the United States. We
are asking the question also, why does
the American hemp grower content him
self with hemp which grows seven feet
high, when Eastern Asia grows a strain
of hemp which is twice as tall and
produces nearly twice as much fiber per
acre. And again we are asking, why is
it that the Southern States, instead Of
buying jute butts from India with which
to make cotton bagging and rice sacks
do not try the experiment of making
these articles out of homegrown fiber
There is a fair probability that with
these giant Asiatic varieties of hemp
planted in the rich alluval bottom lands
of the South Atlantic seaboard, with deep
ploughing and liberal application OF
cotton seed hulls, such heavy crops of
hemp can be produced that 1T can be sold
to the bagging manufacturers at a price
That will compete with jute. And If
hemp can not be produced at quite the
price to compete with jute, it almost
certainly can be produced proftably for
use in the manufacture of cotton sacks"
At the conclusion of his address, Mr..
S. l.. Patterson offered resolution thank
ing Secretary Wilson for his interesting
instructive and helpful paper and express
ing the pleasure it gave to the associa-
ton to have him present and to hear his
encouraging words.

"Owners of turpentine stills should reg

This is the substance of a long article in
the Savannah Morning News of Sunday.
The News calls attention to the fact that
the revenue act of 1898 requires all
stills, including turpentine stills, to be
registered. 1t also notes that in one
way or another the enforcement of the
act was violated as far as it applied to
turpentine stills. Now up rises Internal
Revenue Commissioner G. w. Wilson
with a ruling that all turpentine stills
must be registered by September LIST
or the owners of the stills will become
subject to penalty of $500.

Allegheny mountains will find gradual
lessening of the severe competition that
has heretofore existed between their
productions of the great valley turn west
ward more and more, to find markets in
the mountain States, on the Pacific coast,
and in the far Orient, this competition,
that has kept down the prices of farm
products east of the Allegheny mountains
ever since railroads entered the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley, will be gradually lessened.
So that we find two influences at work
to help the farmers of the Southern
States. One is a better home market,
and the other is less competition from
the great west. The southern farmer will
get all the assistance we can possibly give
him in ascertaining what grasses ana
legumes are best suited to grazing pur-
poses and hay making purposes.
The Division of Vegetable Physiology
and Pathology is conducting investiga-
lions in several of the Southern States,
looking to the securing of better oranges,
pineapples and other fruits through
hybridization The diseases of cultivated
cranes peculiar to the South are being
carefully studied. Systematic investiga-
lions are being conducted regarding the
tobacco of the country. The cause of the
aromas which give to certain foreign to-
haccos their peculiar value, has been
discovered, and efforts are being made to
nut this discovery to practical use in the
nrod,Iction of domestic tobaccos. SySte-

as certainty was worse yet. She made
no sign, but when the talk had once
