MAkyI,AND's MINERALS.

In such a long-settled State as Mary
land, mineral riches of one kind or an
other have by no means reached their
full Development DR.. P. r. Uhler points
out in the Manufacturers Record the
states rich endowment in GRANTEES and
gneisses. important for architectural pur-
poses, traces the gradually extending use
OF some of them. and suggests that il
seems necessary to attract the attention
of the people TO an almost endless vari-
ETY. of colors and patterns which these
rocks afford for producing varied and
beautiful architecture. So. too. in South
Carolina arrangements have been made
to develop magnetic iron ore property
near Blackburg. Before the war these
ores were extensively used IL local iron
works, but the shifting of methods and
the drift toward greater sources OF sup
ply brought id!eness to the mines.
And SO the story goes all along tne
line In the meantime the textile III
dustry, which may be regarded as
pioneer in the South as it was elsewhere
continues Its magnificent record SHOWN
by the following figures. In 1850 o. tne

Home TOR a Physician.

Editor of The Times:
Sir.-Wil you allow me the use of your
widely read newspaper to state local
need. and to show to some young doctor
OF medicine the inducements that THIS
locality offers to his profession?
1 will be as brief possible in giving
a SYNOPSIS OF the conditions existing now,
and the territory and population emr
braced in this doctorless section OF OLD
Buckingham.
Twenty years ago the house from
which I now write was the home OF an
NJ. D.-John B. Garden. Four miles
southeast at Curdsville. lived and prac-
ticed Dr.. Peter Coleman. brother of the
late Judge Sam Coleman. Eight miles
from here. due east Cup to eight or ten
years ago., DR.. HUBBARD, brother OF Hon
E W. HUBBARD. lived and practiced his
profession at Saratoga, and seven miles
south DR.. Osborne had an extensive and
lucrative practice Six miles due west
DR.. Peter Halls lived and pract1ced med1-
cine. and at the courthouse. ten mics
north of Arcanum, DR.. Pratt was the
resident physician. Now all are dead,
and no ma tier how urgent the need, we
cannot reach a. physician under ten
miles.
Arcanum (o!d Rock Mills) Is fifteen
miles from Farmville, south; fifteen
miles from Prospect and Pamplin's, on
west: fourteen miles from Ca ira, on
east: ten miles from courthouse, on
north and ten miles from White Hall.
on northeast: and in all this area there
is no practicing physician. It embraces
the whole OF Francisco magisteria1 dis
trict. with a population of S14 school age
children alone Il have not the figures
of whole population), and one-half Of
Curdsville magisterial district, with
thicker population than Francisco.
Doctor Nowlin is a worthy successor
at the courthouse to the lamented
Frat. and. like him. will go in all winds
and weather, any distance, at the call
of suffering; but distances are too great,
for generally. when. the doctor is needed,
he is needed badly. We are not particu-
larly a sickly people, but the six doctors
named above made a good living, and
all died honored and respected. and there
is more sickness now than then. espe-
cially among the colored race.
I think it a flrst-class opening for
strenuous young man of ability, and if
this letter interests any member of the
profession sufficiently. I will be pleased
to give any further information desired
on application.
Very truly,
J. w HEBDITCH.

Is There Decadence Of Religion in the

World?
Editor Of The Times:
Slr:-The above question is one that
merits the Thoughtful consideration OF all
persons Who are interested in the ad-
vancement OF truth and In the uplltt OF
humanity. This is timely question, in
View. of the fact that there are not a
few people who talk as II they think
that religion has not the hold 1t had upon
our fathers and that we are spiritually
loscng ground on account or Sabbath
descration and the marked changes OBJ
servaple at the present from the old
time feryor, simplicity and power charac-
terlzing the spiritual life and worship
OF former time Even the sturdy, con-
sentative Baltimore Sun thinks that the
Bible to-day Is not read and studied as
ii was in former years. Without at
tempting to notice in detail these pessi-
mlstic views concerning the Christian re-
ligion of the present day, | think, gen
orally speaking. such views are erlo.ie-
Gus and do injustice to the cause OF re-
ligion That a great many changes have
taken place in methods of church WORK,
ETC.. OF late years we must admit II
now essentials changes nave occurred
and changes In some things OF import
ance have taken place. but changes de-
cidedly for the better. Our fathers knew
nothing Of present day Young Feople .
Societies and their Sunday SCHOOLS were
strangers to the valuable aids IN the
study of Gods work that we nave To-
day. In the matter OF church oullolnS
there has been wonderful Improvement.
In contributions to Christs cause, as
well as in the erection Of schools. hos
pitals. orphanages. etc. there is no com
parson between former periods and the
present age. These notable 1mprovements
show that religion is not losing lts holo
upon mankind Of to-day
It is time that Christians to-day do not
stress the emotional as our fathers olo
In their religious life and without mean
ing to dIsparase the emotional nature,
+ may be permitted to remark that put
ting stress on the practical and showing
faith by works Is better.
me present writer is aware that
dangers and evils threaten Gods church
to-day. The love of money, love or
worldly pleasure and Sabbath descratng,
to say nothing of other evils that also
are too prevalent to-day seriously
threaten to do the cause OF religion
harm. and its votaries must take heed
tc Chr1st's warning about Watchtulness
When put to the test 1t Will be 1ouno
that In this world of ours there are a
great number of true, faithful followers
OF Christ In educational methods, IN
Farming. in merchandising, as well as
On a. great many other things, great
changes have taken place of late years,

pIoyments are degeneratinS because OF

OFFER is DECLINED
Text of Resolution Adopted by New
Orleans Confederates.
CBv Associated Press)

NEW ORLEANS. La, Sept. t1.-The
Confederate veterans of New Orleans last
night refused the proffered aid of Cen
eral Torrance. commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r. They decline with thanks the
money to build a home for INDECENT Con-
federate soldiers in Alabama. The Army
of the Tennessee adopted resolutions re-
ferring to General Torrance's offer in the
kindest terms. declaring that he possesses
3 noble heart. full of brotherly love:
but the resolution says: We cannot
accept even this generously profered as
assistance from any source save from our
own people. It is the duty of the South
and the South alone. to provide for Con-
federate soldiers who may need assist
ance. To permit others TO do that drcy
would, in our judgment. be both unbecor-
ing and willing to Southern people. But
let it be well understood that we are
grateful to neighbor who offer financial
assistance when the angel death visits
his home. In both cases we must polite
y, but firmly. decline TO accept the offer.
There are certain duties which a high
minded people cannot permit others TO
perform and this is one OF them"

BALTIMORE. Sept. u.-Efects of the
consolidation of railroad lines in the
South into strong systems operated on
strictly business basis upon the indus
trial growth OF the South may hardly be
overestlmated. This fact is emphasized
by a. summary in this weeks issue of the
Manufacturers Record OF facts cleaned
from recent annual reports of two or
three railway companies.
The report of the Southern Railway
Shows that during the year there were
located on or near the coulpanyS lines
industrial plants representing a value of
sl12, 1853. and that 500 plants completed

textile plants went into operation and
there We're additions of 36S,S40 spindIes
and S,s57 looms to old plants. while at
the close of the fiscal year there were
4 new mills under construction. which
Will operate 3i2 200 spindIes and 800
looms. Similar progress is reported along
the lines OF the Central of Georgia, its
annual report showing that 299 indus
tries. representing 81 different kinds Of
manufactures, were located in It's terri
tory during the year, with a ca pitaliza
ton of S2.Ss635o and with 4,oS2 employees

The industrial commissioner of the Hi
SIS industries established during the year
along its system, us. or more than SO
per cent, We're south of the Ohio River.
That agriculture has advanced with the
growth of manufacturing appears in such
a fact as that during the year 523 farmers
from the North and West purchased III
255 acres of farm lands in the territory
Of the Southern Railway. representing
an investment Of s2,o100o0, while there
was q phenomenal increase in the acre
