Southern Farmers Improve
Stock.

Practical stock ralserS are want
ed. They are in demand in the
country along the Southern Rail
way. Farm after farm awaits their
advent. Not worn out farms by
any means; lands capable of giving
far greater returns for the money
invested than those of any other
section. The stock farmer can
start in business in the South with
less capital than in any section
now open for settlement. The best
markets are convenient; the de-
mand is far ahead of the supply.
While the Southern stock raiser is
developing that industry there are
also many branches of general
agriculture which he can protitably
follow. The time has come when
the farmers of the South have be-

Sympathy, Not Charity.

Rev. Richard Wilkinson. the he "
pastor of Rayne Memorial Meth
odist Church, is attracting much
attention. His congregation yes
terday morning was very large.
Mr.. Wilkinson is a very rapid
speaker, and covers a wide range
of subjects in the time he allows
himself. In his sermon of yester-
day morning he had as his subject
the human sympathy rs shown in
the life of Jesus Christ. His
thoughts were inspired by the
scriptural commands: Bear We
one auothers burdens" and BE
kindly affectioned one to another" !"
Mr.. Wilkinson's plan in treating
his theme gave him opportunity to
pay a splendid tribute to the broth
erly and humanitarian spirit which
be said was characteristic of the
Jew. He talked briefly of the troub-
les between capital and labor, that
are agitating the country, and of
the Venezuelan dispute. Mr.. Will
kinson said that the application of
the principle of the Sermon on the
Mount would settle allsuch differ
ences.
During his sermon Mr.. Wilkin-
son spoke Of Roosevelt, and the
idea of part of the congregation
was that he would say something
about him in the nature of DO
litical criticism. He didn't, how
ever. He referred to his message
to Congress, in which he said that
the rule of brotherhood was the
prerequisite to success. Mr.. Wiz
kinson believes that the world of
men needs sympathy, and that
there is not enough of it shown.
He said that people did not need
charity as much as they did help
fulness and frienuliness.
Under the administration Of Mr..
Wilkinson the churchhas strength
ened its choir and added number
of special musical features to the
service. An assistant to the pas
tor has also been engaged. Mrs.
McCuen, who will devote herself
entirely to such work as he will di-
