What the South Can DO.

The Importance Of Southern manu-
facturors Of cotton goods going into all
lines Of manufacture instead of con- uI.
fining their efforts to one line wherin
they bcoome competitors with one
another, has been many times empha.
sized by those most familiar with the
field. The advice ia wise, for it COR
tainly is true that the mills here al
tho cotton folds nhould produce
everything that.is manufactured from the
cotton, and can. The recent venture
Of the Langley Manufacturing Com.
pany at West Point has demonstrated
the possibilities in line heretofore
practically unton ,hod. This company,
of which Captain Edward Langley il
general manager, is manufacturing lap
robes, fancy towels, portieres crochet,
MarseilleH and tho Mitchelline quilts.
ell Of which are designated, woven and
dyed at West Point. Samples OF the
work Of this company which have
reached Atlanta show that even in its
infancy it has attained a high standard
OF success There are other lines 90 Of
practically untouched in which cotton
manufacturers can find opportunities
for o remunerativo market. DESPITE
the great growth Of the Industry in the

PROFESSIONAL PALLBEAREns.
They Havea Funeral Uniform and Con-
duct Themselves With prorriety.

Milwaukee has taken step In ad-
vance Of New York in the way of con.
Quoting funerals. In order to provide
pallboarers at funerals where families
cannot or will not make arrangements
for them, pallbearers association has
been formed which will furnish at
short notice and at reasonable cost O
uniformed escort for tho dead. The
uniform will consist Of black coat
with lace rutbss at the wrists and wide
white lace DOLLAR. Knee brooches, black
stockings, buokled shoes. black hat
like those worn by the knights Tenn.
plar. and sword complete the outfit
in pleasant weather, but when it rains
or In cold weather a heavy black mill
'ary cloak will be worn over all.
There are many people in milwaukee
mostly Gormans- who are .'free

organization. Many Of theao are NOM
bors OF the Turner societies, and fun

BY the Turner'S. Others do not belong

"A Hinieter Argues That They Are
Not SDeaoended From Adam.

Not Descended From Adam. i
In tho last number Of tho Biblo Bap-

edited and owned by Rev. q r. Cars

ter, is an article which contains some
startling atatemens and will O. alto

Before quoting from the article above
referred to-, tits but proper to state
that Rev. Mr. Oarswell is a native of

cor University, the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary, and an author Of
several works upon theology, besides
havina filed as pastor some 81 tho lead
ing BaptiAt pulpits in this state and
Texas.
That he is a man Of extraordinary
ability, Of great montal grasp, a hard
student Of tho Bible and an editor, and
lecturer, who's, fame is bounded only
by tho extent Of tho Southern Baptist
denomination, gives great weight to his
oditorials. Mr.. Csrswell is 10 his a.
tieth year. and resides in North
Augusta, but at tho present time is
holding meeting in Lsko Oity, Fla
The editorial in the Biblo Baptist is
upon "Traditionalism,' and in it he
| dissents from many current theological
vtews, which hs says are only based
upon tradition, and which ho holds to
be erroneous. Ho says:
/ 1T 10 pure tradition that assigns to
negroes pls in the human family.
The Bible will bo explored in vain for
suoh doctrine. Even tradition finds
no negro in tho original creation as a
member Of the Adsmio household
Moreover, Noah's other sons, Ham
and Japhoth, woro white and produced
only white tribes and kindreds. The
Canaanites, whom tradition taught us

lie then aske tho question::
What then will Bible folks do with
those traditions that GLASS negroes with
tho family of Adam2
YOU soc the question is up to Us. If
the negroes be not descended from
Adam, then tho orthodox view ia that
Christ did not die for them, Hence
thoy arc lost, or special provision is
made for them in the plan Of salvation,
or thoy still need a Messiah who will
vet save them. But Mr.. Oarswell CON.
