has developed, however, that during
the session the current prices and
mode of business of the mill owners
present were fully and wholly aired.
It has been ascertained, too, that
before an adjournment was reached a
schedule of prices by which every
mill represented at the meeting will
be governed in the future. To this
scale of prices it is said every one
present subscribed, and after the
owners return home the scale will be
put into operation at once.
This will kill cheap purchases by
competition as in the past wholly
from this on. The scale is to apply
to cotton seed oil, cotton seed meal,
and in fact to every article bought or
sold by cotton seed oil mills.

: The Pepper Plant.

The pepper plant piper nigrum)
which produces the white and black
pepper of commerce is climbing,
yinelike shrub found growing wild
in the forests of Travamore and the
Malsbar coasts of India. It is en-
tirely tropical in it's requirements
and seems to thrive best in moist,
hot climate, with an annual rainfall
of at least 100 inches and soil rich
in leaf mold. The plant is natural
climber and will cling to almost any
support by means of adventitious
roots. 1t grows some t~enty feet in
height, but in cultivation is usually
restricted to ten or twelve feet.

The Genuine vs.. Contarfeits.

The genuine is always better than
g counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement is never more forcibly
realized or more thoroughly sppre-

the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve with the many counterfeits
and worthless substitutes that are on
the market. W. S. Ledbetter, of
Shreveport, La, says: "After using
numerous other remedies without
benefit, one box of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve cured me-" For blind,

Between the Sundays.

Whatever may be said about the
relation of the Sundays to the week
days, no one will question that if the
week days are employed to the glory
of God the Sundays will be spiritual
climaxes of greaS power and rare
enjoyment.
It may be hard to carry the infu-
ences of one day steadily through
the six to follow; but there can be no
difficulty in serving God with slac-
rity on Sunday if that service has
been projected through the week.

AGAIN BARS BIBLE FROM SCHOOL
Nebraska Supreme Court Issues Writ of Mandamus to Enforce Deci- sion Rendered More
 Than Wear Ago.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 25.-Bible read ing and hymn singing is again forbid cen in the public schools of Nebraska by the state supreme court, which t1- day issued a peremptory writ of maE- damus against the directors of school district No 2l, in Gage county. ordar- ing them to comply with the decision rendered more than a year ago, that 10 further religious exercises be held in the school.
 The relator in the petition for man damus is Daniel Freeman. known as the first homesteader," who was the original plaintiff in a suit begun in 1899 against the district. winning twice in the tower courts. The district crectors appealed and the supreme court upheld Mir. Freeman, but Chief Justice Sullivan, in later supplement tai opinion soon encouraged the school districts side of the case that the first order was practically ignored. Freeman complained that the direc- tors and teacher. Miss Martha Beech CT. were violating the court order, and today's writ followed
 Much litigation will ensue, since there are as many varying interpre- tations of the decision last written as there are different views on the sub- ject of Bible reading in the public schools The tenor of the decision was that the Bible might be read as work of literature. but not as religious work.
 It is said that the school directors will persist in the use of the Bible Should they do so contempt proceed ings will bring the whole question be fore the court again for review.
