States Great Possibilities.

Some Of the exhibits at the Co
lumbus fair last week are attracting
much attention and comment, as il
Illustrating the possibilities Of Mis-
sissippi, and as demonstrating the
fact that she has before her a great
future, both as manufacturing and
an agricultural State. What can be
done with the soil of Mississippi
with well directed effort is well illus
trated by the exhibits from the farm
of L. W. Payne, a very prosperous
farmer and horticulturist of Column
bus, on the Alabama & Mississippi
line. Mr.. Payne exhibited at the
fair eleven varieties of apples, two
Of peaches and two of pairs, all
splendid specimens of fruit, and all
of his own graft, and these speci-
mems are taken from On orchard Of
twelve acres. Mr.. Payne CRAFTS his
own fruits, and has been wonderful
ly successful as a fruit grower. Be
sides this orchard he has a poultry
farm stocked with mammoth bronze
turkeys and several standard varie-
ties of pure bred chickens. Mr..
Payne's wife also had on exhibition
number Of varieties of canned
goods, grown by himself and put up
in tins by his wife. All Of his ez-
hibits captured premiums.
Another exhibit still more inter-
esting in character was from th6
textile department Of the A. and M.
College, and consisted Of two looms
run by gasoline engine which were
kept in operation daily and which
turned out yards ofginghams, Plaids,
domettes and fine madras cloth Of
the highest grade. The madras
cloth was Of the quality which re-
tails for AZ cents per yard. Eight
yards of the cloth can be made from
one pound of cotton. The exhibit
was in charge Of F. A. Abbott, weay-
er and the designer in the textile
department at the A. and NJ. Col

Hard Money only.

The State treasury vaults now
contain nothing but metallic cur
rency, there being no paper money
of any kind or description on hand.
This condition is quite unusual, espe-
cially as there is nearly a quarter Of
a million dollars in the vaults. The
bulk of this money is silver coin and
tome gold. Persons who have war
rants amounting to any great sum
have to carry the heavy metal with
them. Treasurer Carlisle prefers to
have the metal money on hand, as it
does not present very inviting pic
ture to the burglar trade. A man
could not carry away enough silver
to induce him to take such chances
as a raid on the treasury would re-
quire.

seeking, for divine enlightenment,
with a Willingness to approach the
subject with an open mind, the united
church may find way by which we
can serve the cause of Christ
and the good of mankind in seeking
the ultimate elimination of this stu
pendous evil. We therefore invite the
governing bodies of the various de-
nominations of Christians in tne
United States to appoint delegates to
represent them in conference, to be
held in the city of Washington, to be-
gin on the second Wednesday OF
March, in the year 1906. The decisions
of this conference should be reached
only in practical unanimity, and
therefore it is unnecessary to indicate
any limit to the proposed representa-
tions.
We issue this invitation with an
humble realization of the smallness
of our body as compared with many
others, but we DO it under deep
sense that this duty has been laid
upon Us and that God VIII use the
proposed instrumentality for the oc-
complishment of great good to man
kind and 4or glory of His name. Be
lieving that this proposition will meet
with your approval and practical CO.
operation, we have appointed James
Wood, of Mount Kisco, N. T.; Rufus
NJ. Jones, Heverford. Pa; Timothy
Nicholson, Richmond, Ind: Benjamin
F. Trueblood, Boston, and Edmund
Stanley, Wichita, Kas., with one adj
ditional delegate from each of II year
ly meetings to represent us at the
conference.
In the 1aith and love Of Jesus
Christ, we are your friends.

A CRUSADE AGAINST LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
A Conference Suggested, to he Held
in Washington, I'm 1906, to FOr-

for Practical Cooperation to
That End.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 27.-The ave
years meeting of the Society of
Friends, Monday, at their closing ses-
sion, issued the following call to all
the Christian churches:
To the Various Christian Bodies in
the United States:
Dear Brethren in Christ-We are
confident in the belief that the con-
sensus of opinion of the processing
Christians of our land is opposed to
the evils of the liquor traffic, and we
find want of cooperation in prac-
teal effort to give effect to this OPP
position, because none of the propo-
sitions heretofore has met the ap-
proval of the general judgment OF
Christian people. We recognize that
this is the case in our own body, and
we believe it is likewise true of 9TH
ers. AS a result, the church exerts
far less influence than it should to
prevent the evils produced by this
great cause of poverty and crime, and
which is, also, most serious obstacle
to the spread of the Gospel.
ave are deeply impressed with the
conviction that an earnest effort
should oe made to ascertain in what
way Christians cen exert an united
influence in this cause, and by what
means they may work together. UpoI
what proposition can we obtain {
practical agreement? We frankly con
fess that we are not competent tC
solve the problem. but we believe that

TO TAKE TESTIMONY IN COAL REGION.
Mr. mitchell Desires That the In
quiry BE Made General, While II
is Understood the Operators VIII
Seek to Restrict 1t a. Much as
Possible.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Nctwith-
standing there are quite a number OF
details to be arranged, the members
of the anthracite coal strike commits
sion were hopeful that they would
be able to complete the preliminary
arrangements at their sitting Mon
day afternoon. SO far as the opera
tors and the miners have expressed
themselves, they have indicated
willingness to subordinate their de-
sires in the matter of time and place
of hearing to the wishes of the com
mission. 1t is the general under
standing that practically all of the
meetings for the taking of testimony
will be held in the anthracite regions,
and it is believed that the commits
sion will be able to get to work dur
ing the present week.
Another preliminary question, which
will require attention, is that as to
the questions to be taken up by the
commission. Mr.. Mitchell, who
reached Washington Monday morn
ing, accompanied by District Presi-
dent Fahy, will press for very gen.
eral inquiry, while it is understood
that the operators will seek to re-
strict the inquiry.
DR.. Chas. P. 0'Neil, assistant re-
corder of the commission, called up
on President Roosevelt, Monday, tc
pay his respects. Although the pres
ident feels that the matters involved
are now out Of his hands, he took oc'
casion to impress upon his visitor the
great importance of the investiga
tion and the far-reaching character
of the results to be achieved.

large increase in the output. The
output in the collieries at the Della

hall, the public auditorium used for
all the big society dances and concerts,
was the scene last night of most un-
usual occurrence. Before an audience
of nearly 200 Jews Miss Rachel Lichen-
stein was married to Mr.. Solomon
Lichenstein. The marriage in itself
was nothing unusual, but the feature
of the occasion was the fact that the
bride had married her fathers broth
er, watch tinker. The marriage
took place on the stage of the hall and
after the ceremony the bride occupied
her prominent position as star actor
for quite thirty minutes while she was
viewed by the audience. Following
the marriage ceremony the couple and
their friends had most elaborate sup
per on the third floor of ssthe same
building. There was considerable dis
cussion throughout the city yesterday
over the fact that the woman was
marrying her own uncle. The we'd
ding was to have occurred some months
ago, but was postponed on account OF
the death of the BRIDES grandfather
the father of the groom.

Problem in South Africa Becoming
a Serious Matter.
The Beers Have Troubles Which Sound
Like Those in the South.

London, Aug. 20.-Mail adFices re-
.ceiYed here from johannesburg indi-
cate that the negro problem is growing
more acute and is causing the author
tiles Infinite worry. To quote the
words Of ore of the foremost South
African authorities:
- On the question OF the natiyesA de-
pends the whole future Of the new col
onies-whether the Beers will Loyalty
accept British rule or continue IN
state of snllen resentment. Among the
immediate dangers, native attacks on
Beers returning to Sheir farms and at
tempts of natives to assault WnlGe
women are threatening to lead to ser-
ous conflicts between the Beers and Jne
blacks. Under the old regime, the
crude, but simple retribution for as
saults on women was shooting on sight.
Now, however, there is no legislation
On the subject, and the English author
tiles are hesitating to enact laws until
all the parties concerned can voice
their ouinions. The hesitancy to deal
severely with the natives is causing
both Beers and Afrikanders intense
irritation and encourages the blacks to
truculenJ efrontery.
81 g Another phase Of the problem isthe
efforts of the blacks to continue their
lazy existence on the camps, where
thousands we're gathered dnring the
war, and far more serious is the pros
poets that many Of the blacks of the
country have managed to secure arms.
There is, therefore, the anomalous sit
nation Of armed whites and armed
blacks living in proximity on outlying
farms. Experienced British colonials
strongly favor universal disarmament
of the natives and prompt legislation
making assaults on. women capital
