OUR POSITION.

1t is not the first time that we
have felt called on to make con
else statement as to our manner OF
editing a newspaper. 1t is alter
much consideration that we ever
enter into a criticism against any
minister of the high calling. We
never allow a criticism to be prom
pied by a personal matter-aques-
ton Of right it shall ever be.
Our own societies, our common
wealth may be associated with
that which is not Of the most ele-
waiting influences, but when it
comes to an attack by way of as
sociation upon Him, who is the
Saviour Of the world, then we shall
cry aloud and spare not and the
criticism shall be with a keen edge.
Christ did not approve of moder-
ate drinking, had he, then would
he approve Of moderate drunken
ness, and the declaration that no
drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of heaven would have been
out of place in Scripture.
Neither would his followers have
been taught in regard to the use
of wine to touch not, taste not,
handle not, and nowhere in the
scriptures at any time did he ap-
prove of the modern dance.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

Since the management OF the
Long Distance Telephone under
Iudec and Mrs. Mckee, in addi-
ton to the new transmitters and
receivers, an elegant "up-to-date
Switch Board has been put in; the
offices are being newly painted
and papered, and two new lines
are on the road to the City.
Quick and efficient service to all
points-North, East, South and
West. No waiting, no worry,
but delight to talk on business
or pleasure to distant places with
perfect ease and accuracy, recog-
nizing the voice Of the party a
thousand miles. The telephone
is here to stay, is now necessity
and it seems to us Mt. Sterling
with her 6.ooo people should have
an exchange, when her people
could talk from their homes and
places of business to far away
points. Gentlemen of the Coun-
Gil. give them a chance. Let us
have competition, and not an eX-
elusive right TO any person or cor
poration ever to do all the talk
ing. Competition will keep alive
the old saying, Talk is cheap.

Louisville Tobacco Market.

Total sales in this market last
week were 1881 hhds., against
2,667 an corresponding week last
year. Total receipts, 2.l97 hhds.
against 1908 for corresponding
week of last year. Reflections last
week were AL hhds., Is per cent.
of the auction sales, against 20 per
cent. for preceding week. OF the
total sales 1,S09 hhds, were Burley
and 1922 dark tobacco.
The Burley market has been
quite erratic this week. On
Wednesday morning there was
considerable speculative buying.
Brokers seemed full of orders and
the trust was willing that they
should "load up but the trust
buyers were careful to see that they
paid high for what they got. This
condition gave the Burley market
mild boom, but about noon the
speculative orders seemed to be
about completed and the trust al
lowed prices to sag perceptibly.
Prices were then Irregular but
seemed to steady up slightly to-
ward the close of the day. On
Thursday the market was still ir-
regular, but decidedly strong. Com
mon grades may be quoted irregu-
larly strong at quotatations. Me-
dium grades of red filler were
strong and more steady than any
other grades. These kinds, selling
say from $s to $40, were probably
so cents to 81 higher than a
week ago. Colory types were in
much favor and sold full up to
quotations.
The State has had numerous
good rains during the week, and
while it cannot be called general
rain, yet the showers have been
so numerous that larger part of
the State has had setting season.
While it is yet too early to get spe
cific reports, it is probable that the
bulk of the crop will be in the hill
by the time this reaches our read
ers. In the Burley district prop
er large majority of planters are
independent of setting seasons, as
so many of them use transplant
ing machine which makes its own
season. With the advent of warm
weather the army of cut worms
will disappear and we may expect
reports next week OF quite large
plan ing.

AFFIRMED.

Having heard that Rev. d. w. Rob
ertson, pastor Of the M. +. church,
would most likely give his disap-
proval Of the sentiment expressed
by Rev. Baker =. Lee, Of LeNing-
ton, in a recent speech here, our
ears were open as to what he
might say and our common Lord,
having been accused, we as one Of
His, were the more interested.
After the sermon preached by the
Rev. Robertson he left for Fal-
mouth to be present at a marriage
feast and incidentally we learned
that Prof. Abner Rogers had
heard the remarks. We at once
found Prof Rogers. We asked
that he reproduce tlSs speech Of
that day. He kindly consented
and we published the report over
the name "Nisitor. In veriica-
ton Of the report we this week
publish over the signature Of Rev.
Robertson his own statement,
proving that Prof Rogers gave
the statement not yer batim but in
substance.

for giving up the work so dear to

Children's Day.

Notwithstanding the rain there
was a very fair attendance at the
Children's service at the First
Presbyterian Church. The deco
rations were pronounced the best
for years, and they have always
been attractive. But three recita-
tions were given-Harry Conroy,
Frank Hill and Alice Cassity.
They spoke out loud and clear and
the audience enjoyed them.
David Wood made a hit by eX-
planning the reason people had for
attending church. Mr.. Chiles, the
Superintendent, made few intro
ductory remarks and the Pastor a
ten minute address which was
well received. The music was su-
perior and the chorus and solos
were rendered in good style. Miss

kipIing's Religion.

Rudyard Kpling's religion was the
subject OF a paper read recently in New
York at the Methodist Preachers meeting
by the Rev. Herbert Wtlch of Mid.
dletown, Conn. He pointed out that
Kiplng bad failed to depict women. and
that the tender, the beautiful the merely
domestic s, EN- to posses no attractions
Tor him. He also said
Manhood K'plir & address who
do things officers who master their
men, Courage, power, are the first and
foremost of qualities. Manv of his men
are not very sure whether God is or not,
but they believe hat with duty done
they need not fear to face Him. What
it all means is plain. The consequence oil
evil is sure-the wages Of sin is death.
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
reap
But K;pling's strongest note is in de-
scribing deeds that shall profit the world
for which they are done. Aud whatever
his defects, at least bis work is not of
the hothouse-not anatomical, nor NOR
bid, like so much OF the literature OF the
day.
This man may handle some of our sa.
cred things with scaut reverence, yet you
must not deny his virtue. The some
thing that distinguishes christianity
from other religions he has not. He
is rather, an early Hebrew New York
