THE COTTON PlCkERS.
Negroes Who Are the Best Workers
Are the Hest singers.

The champion negro cotton picker
Of Texas. '. lao can pun II bale of cot
ton from tie boils in two days. must
be good singer" said a man who
spent his early life on the farm. else
he could not pick that much cotton in
80 short II time.
a report from the WaXahachie dis
trict says his best days work this
year WAS SII pounds. That's pretty
good cotton picking. dare say he
sung II few lines while he was reaching
for this record. No negro can pick
cotton without singing. Whenever you
see IL negro pullin. his sack up and
down cotton rows in silence you can
bet lie is not doing much picking. He
may get out of the field with f1J or
maybe 2o0 pounds. but he will not set
the world on fire as picker of the
staple.
Singing is part of the game. and
when you find II negro who begins To
sing and l1.!er ais soon as he bends
over the row you may know thereby
that you have Il good hand. The negro.
as Il rule works by music. In no other
line of activity is the fact SO noticeable
as in TIE cotton patch. Here is where
the nero must sing IL he would meet
with any satisfactory measure of sue
cess. II il no loud. dlscordant bowling
either Ii is music the like of which
you cannot hear ut any other place or
under any other circumstances. Il low.
soft hum. delicately intoned. Rhythmic.
mellow. soothing and all the while the
negroes body swings 10 and fro over
the cotton row as with his nimble fin
gers he pulls the long white locks from
the boil.
Il have known great many cotton
planters who would not hire negro
cotton ECKER unless lie was satisfied
that the negro SANG as he worked. 1t
is curious thing that pickers OF this
type have more time for the humorous
banlcring and jawng so common
among this class than the men who
work in silence. The singing negro
does not work as hard. as matter of
fact az the silent negro. This is be-
cause he works more rapidly. The song
he sings seems to make the machinery
run more smoothly. and so he accom-
plishes more in the end than the quiet
fellow unG has some time for the fool
ish talk of the cotton patch besides"

Gods White.

On recent visit 10 America Rev. L.
b. Meyer related an incident which
deeply moved those of the small com
pany which heard it,
One day in his pastoral visitation he
called upon washerwoman of his
congregation. lie found her finishing
her days work. ana as the clothes
hung upon the line In the little yard
they impressed him as unusually clean
and white.
"An uncommonly fine wash you are
hanging out" he said. and the woman
mOdestly accepted the compliment us
just and showed some honest pride in
her work
The minister stepped inside and talk
ed with his parishioner while she
brewed a cup of tea. Meantime there
came Il furry of snow. which soon
passed. but when the minister rose to
go the ground was white, although the
air was clear.
All" said DIR. Meyer. 1.-THE clothes
do not look as white as they did"
"Oh. sir" cried the woman. 1.-The
clothes are all right. but what can
stand against God Almighty's white:'

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned rem -dy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100

Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

UNITED LENTEN SERVICES.

Second Sermon of the Course Delivered
 by Rev. William H. Vibbert.
 The second of the united Lenten ser vices of the Episcopal churches was held at Trinity church last evening. The attendance was not as large as in former years.
 A splendid sermon was delivered by Rev. William H. Vibbert, s. T. D., vicar of Trinity chapel, New York city. His text was taken from Colossians, first chapter, thirteenth and fourteenth verses: ''Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath trans lated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption through His blood, even forgiveness of sins''
 The speaker discussed sin, repentance and forgiveness. He said that there was no physical form of forgiveness. and that absolution could only be gain ed through spiritual intervention. He spoke of the death of Christ and what it meant to all His followers.
 Dr. Vibberts address was eloquent, and he was listened to with care and attention.
