BUMPER COTTON CROP EXPECTED.
Outlook in Texas Is Considered Quite
Flattering.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Dallas, Tex. July 10.-Reports from AZ
correspondents in the lis cotton-growing
counties Of Texas on the condition Of the
crop show q decrease in acreage. as COM
pared with last year. of 81 per cent. But as
fully Is per cent OF last years acreage yield
ed nothing, because OF boil weevil and
drought, the actua. -crop-groWlng acreage
this year is largely il excess Of last year
Throughout. the State. the average latenes5
being from two to four weeks, as compared
with the normal time under ordinary con-
ditions The hot sunshine and dry weather
of the last week have stimulated growth to
a considerable degree. A continual ion OF
present weather conditions through July
should place the crop in good position by
August L There Is much grass in the
fields. caused by rank growth during the
recent heavy rain period. Farmers are
working hard to clear the fields and labor
for cotton chopping is in demand.
East reports are hattering: southwest
Texas complains of boil weevil. but no
where near SO elarmingly as at this time
last year. North Texas complains of Moth
ing but the rain and the CONSEQUENT late
ness Of the crop. and shows considerable
increase Of acreage. The coast country re-
ports cotton looking WELL but shows a con-
siderable decrease in acreage, because OF
fruit culture and rice growing.
Making due allowance for all adverse
conditions up to date. and estimating IA
vorably conditions from now until the crop
natures. there is nothing TO justify pre-
dieting less than a -millon-bale crop
for Texas this year.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR TOPIC.
"what the Holy Spirit Can DO for Me-
tJohn xvi, 3-lI.l

BY ANUS IL. " Ellis
Dwight L. Moody used to tell how, when
a boy. he had TO pump UP water for cows
"a WEAKNESS to tie flesh, even when the
well did not run dry. But now they bore
down thousand feet further ill they
strike head of water that rushes up ire
sstbly, and needs no pumping. An Illus
tration. this. in the hands of the great
evangelist of the feebieaess OF human ef-
forts compared with the unwearied energy
of the Holy Spirit, when he once takes
possession OF our powers and the machin-
cry of our lives.
There i, fable of the bellows and the
hearth. The bellows complained that the
more 1t blew upon the fuel the darker it
grew. Perhaps. the hearth suggested
at last in the midst of his signing, what
fire. When d fire is started, then your
blowing will make it burn the brighter
without which all our words and deeds are
mere fruitless puffs of air.
Doctor Cuyier once saw u man working
at one end of a crosscut saw. lie was so
stationed that he could not see the other
man. and yet he knew from the way tho
man worked that he had an unseen part
ments of every true Christian bear witness
TO Comrade Worker. He could never
accomplish what he does We're not the I'M
seen Spirit working with him.
Sometimes this influence of the Spirit
acts like a boat on the Mississippi River.
A small steamer was stuck on a bar when
whose great swell lifted the little boat free
Of the obstruction. So does the Holy Spirit
make light Of our hindrances and all our
heavy burdens.
If our religious life does not move
smoothly and powerfully. 1t is because We
lack the, Spirit. Our condition has been
compared to a steam radiator. half full of
cold air and water, and cracking loudly.
But open the valves wide and let in the
steam. Then open the escape valve and
the steam itself will drive out the cold air
and water, till the radiator is hot. The way

If Gods spirit In our lives will do all this
for us-and this is only a glimpse of what
he will do for us-what fearful thing it
ts to "auench the spirit TO. put out the
fire, to close the valves, to shut the door.
Doctor Watkinson draws the picture of a
greenhouse, whose keeper, one bitter cold
night neglected to tend his fires. In an
hour. what ruin was wrought! Everything
1 was stiff and black, and all the lovely flow
eers were dead.
So will it be with US In our lives, If we
neglect the sacred fame Of Pentecost Oh
let us seek above all things else to enjoy
his presence and to do his blessed will.

FATHER BRANNAN's LECTURE
Priest Contended That Wesley Was
 Catholic

That John Wesley. the founder of Meth odism, was all his fife not a Methodist in the meaning of that term as now used but a Catholic in every essential, was one of the contentious of Father Brannan in his lecture at the court house last night.
 The speaker quoted from a book on Methodism of recent date in which it was stated that Wesley mad always been a member of the Church of England and for many years a regular Presbyter of that church. that is to say, bishop. If the founder of Methodism had been an Episcopalian as had been conclusively proved. how could he have been a Meth odist? he contended. and if Wesley was In reality an Episcopalian he was to all intends and purposes a Catholic.
 Either Grammar quoted from the orig inal prayer book to show that its contents had been taken directly from the thirty nine articles of the Church of England and found much in the old Methodist rit ual relating to confession and absolution by the priesthood of that time Weslev he declared, claimed the power to ab solve sin. exactly as Is claimed by the Catholic priesthood today
 The speaker dwelt also at some Iero,+h on the subject of invocation of saints. one of the tenets of the Catholic Church, and quoted many passages from Scripture in support of that doctrine.
 The court room was we'll filled. The s,,b ject of Father Brannan's lecture tonieht will be "Purgatory"

INSPECTORS
 REAPPOINTED Governor Chooses Old Con-
 viCt Board. NO CHANGES EXPECTED Judges Carmichael, Bradford and Dr. Bragg Retained. Believed That Clerks and Under Off, ficials of the Department Will
 Hold Their Places An
 other Two Years.

Governor Jelks late yesterday after noon reappointed the present members of the State Board of Convict Inspectors. Judge J. M Carmichael, of Dale, was re- appointed president of the Board. Dr. Shirley Bragg. of Montgomery, Physician Inspector. and Judge Thomas Bradford, of Cherokee. Associate Inspector. The members of the Board under their appointment yesterday will have two more years of service. It is said no change will be made In the convict office. The present clerks will in all probability re- tain their positions. Robert Tait and w. F. Beard are clerks in the Convict Department
 The reappointment of the old Board is | taken to signify that there will be few if any changes in the wardens guards or any of the under officials. The appointment of members of the Convict Board has been expected for sev- eral days and deep interest has been manifested in the Governors probable action.
 Captain E. w. Booker a member of the Board during the administration of Governor Johnston, and Major W. F.. Wailes of Selma, were prominent ap- plicants for places on the Board The Governor had also been asked by promi- nent men of the mineral districts of the State to appoint a practical and experi- enced mining man on the Board in view of the fact that the State is now work ing the larger part of convicts in the mines under State control. Some pres sure, it is understood, was brought to bear upon the Governor to induce him to appoint mining man, but the name of no mining man has been publicly dis cussed in connection with a place on the Board.
 Judge Carmichael, Dr. Bragg and Judge Bradford were appointed by Governor Sanford and each of them has served two years.
 It was under the management of the present Board that the important change In the management of the States con- 1icts who were employed in the mines was inauglnated.
