New Orleans Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 6-There
was only a moderate amount of trading
in the spot cotton market today. The Of
ferings were fairly large and there was
a comparatively good assortment on the
tables. But the demand was light and
buyers were by no means willing to Spay
board figures for average lists. Sales.
1,75O bales, including $50 to arrive. Quo
tations lie lower.
Futures opened 8 to points down but
after the opening beyond a definite lean
ing toward a slightly lower level the local
market displayed no interesting charac-
teristics. Prices backed and filled slowly
over average Of point or two either way
but always with a downward pressure and
when the gong sounded the noon closing
the record showed net losses for the day
of to points on the several months.

METHoDIsTs TAKE
IN NEW PREACHERS

TOWNSVILLE. Ca, Dec. 6-The fea-
ture OF the fourth days session Of the
South Georgia conference today was the
address Of Bishop Gambler to the class re-
celveG into fun connection. This class is
made up OF young men who have been two
years on trial and have proven themselves
worthy and are received into the full
membership Of the conference. They were
John NJ Hudson, John z. Seals Scion II.
Bryan. J. w. Lilly, John Swain, Charles
z. Earnest. Charles r. Jenkins. Charles
A. Norton and s. S. Kemp.
In his address to the class Bishop Can
der said preachers needed TO guard
against mere professionalism. "A preach
er may be so active as to neglect his own
spiritual interest" said the bishop. THE
first inquiry the church asks concerning
your faith. not faith in God. deist may
have that. an atheist may have that, but
have you faith IN Christ, a personal saw
Jour. This IS a vital natter.
The church also asks are you going on
perfection. I am glad that the church
urges this high life instead OF discussing
theories of perfection. We should give
ourselves to convincing people OF its in
vincible necessity. Christian perfection is
only an appetite for more religion. Get
hold OF the young. The world is always
young. Two-thirds OF the population Of
this country are under 20 years OF age"
After the vote admitting the class was
taken Bishop Gambler shook hands with
each member welcoming him into the con-
ference. IL was a most affecting scene.

ton, presiding elder. withdrawn from the
superannuated list and referred to COM
mittee on conference relations for super
numerary at the South Georgia conference
today.
Yesterday the board. in fits report re-
served 10 per cent Of the amount called to
create a surplus fund. A protest was made
BY the conference and the board decided
TO pay the missionaries the full amount.
Bishop Gambler at this juncture kindly
reproved the tardy members, and said:
The older men are on hand for prayers
this morning. but the young men are
late.'>
Rev. Homer Bush president of Andrew
Female college. at Cuthbert, also spoke.
He favored co-education and cooperation
Of his college with the other church col
leges.
The anniversary OF the missionary board
held last night was one of the most nota-
BILE meetings of this character in the his
tory of the conference. The auditorium
OF the church was packed to its utmost
capacity and scores were turned away.
OF course, the meeting closed with good
Methodist collection, taken by Biship Can
dler in his usual happy way. His hume:
and wit showed him to be at his best.
The collection amounted to $3.50. which
was the deficit on the domestic mission as
sessment of $4,000. The home field has
had great prosperity the present year. The
following statistics are some indication Of
the prosperity in the mission Aelds within

many CHANGES
TO Be MADE
BY BISHOP
NEW ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE
GIVEN A LARGE NUMBER OF
SOUTH GEORGIA METHODIST
MINISTERS.

TOWNSVILLE. Ga, Dec. 6.-The
South Georgia Conference Will PROBABLY
wind up its business on Monday night
The last item OF business before final ad-
journment VIII be the reading of the ap-
pointments 20 the various charges for next
year. Bishop Gambler and his cabinet have
about completed the work OF assignments,
on which they have been engaged since
the 1st day Of the session
While nothing Is given out IL Is known
that there viii be many changes. This Is
due 20 the fact that many OF the ministers
as well as OF the presiding elders. have
served the four years limit
The transfer OF DR.. Walker Lewis, pre-
siding elder OF the North Macon district,
20 the Arkansas conference TO be station
&C az Little Rock. makes a fifth change
necessary. DR.. Lewis left here this morn
fnr for Atlanta 20 prepare for his depar-
ture for Little Rock. He viii leave with
HI family early next week.
The business OF the conference since the
opening session last Wednesday morning
has been dispatched with speed. but with
much elaboration. The order In the con-
ference has been good with but one or
two exceptions. At such times Bishop Can
der administered slight rehukes. As a pre-
siding oficer Bishop Gambler is giving
universal satisfaction his sallies Of wit
and humor have been received with great
delight BY the South Georgia ministers
over whom he presides for the first time
since his election 20 the bishOpric.

THE MISSING MAN
TURNED UP LAST week
Spent His Time Taking in Sound
Cities and Forgot About
His Friends.

The missing man, James T. Likens,
has turned up safe and sound. He came
here last Wednesday and is now resting
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Nat
Yates. To his friends his whereabouts
was mystery, but to himself there was
no question. He came here from the
Sound, one day ahead of Mr.. Yates, who
had gone over there to institute search
for him.
Mr.. Likens left Urbana, Kan, about
the first of May and landed in Seattle in
due course of time. From there he
travelled from city to city on the coast,
and was so much engrossed with his
surroundings that he forgot all about
anxious friends at home. He is 20 some
years of age and travelled alone. At
first it was thought something had hap
pened to him, but he says that he got
about like one of youthful years. He
will remain here during the summer
and return east in the fall.

ZILLAH, WASH, June %, 1902.
EDITOR HERALD:-In regard to the
fruit growers of Zillah pulling off from
the county union, wish to say that it
was done in friendly spirit and with no
desire to injure the union in any way.
The Zillah people concluded that owing
to the late date in the season the union
was undertaking more than it would be
able to accomplish and it would be sure
to fall down that we lived too far from
North Yakima to help them much in
the way of organization and that it
would be better for all concerned and
more practical at least for the first year
to organize separately, and then CONSOLE
date later on, In regard to the word
North Yakima at the heading OF the
constitution, we understood of course
that it was mistake, but we only used
that as "josh" on the Yakima fellows.
We are glad to know that they succeed
ed in completing an organization and
only wish them the best possible success
and hope in the near future that they
may consolidate with the lower valley
fruit growers.
wish to say in behalf of the Zillah
folks that we organized last Tuesday
night and appointed committee who
are now in correspondence with a num-
Der of box factories and will place an
order for about $4,000 boxes with the
firm that makes the best terms.
Very respectfully,
AMOS Bush
