WHY PEOPLE DON'T ATTEND
CHURCH..

The various discussions concernins
the failure of people to go to church
has brought out, among other replies
to the question, the following:
/ 1T is that the church is no longer
q fraternity in the true sense. In the
early days the church was really a
brothe rhood which offered many prac-
teal benefits. Its memebers were
Joined by burning faith whose in
dividual fires united in one great
flame of love. 1t thus became a kind
of mutual insurance society not only
against damnation but against the
evils of this world. As its members
loved one another SO they helped one
another in times of trial and misfor-
tune as Free Masons are supposed to
do today.
But now, how is itg Joining q
church is like joining a hotel. AS
long as You pay your bill with attend
ance at its services and attention to
the mute demands of the contribution
plate you are recognized and are en-
titled to its privileges. You may
worship there you may enjoy the
melody of the choir, you may listen
to the sermons. you may have occa-
sional pastor calls. At the usual rate
you may have the extras, such as mar
riages and baptisms.
But the old spirit of fraternal love
and charity seems no longer to exist.
The doors of your fellow members
homes are not open to you, though
you do belong ito the same church.
Unless you have other means of intro
1uctiOn your fellow members will not
sven make your acquaintance.
The reasons are many, but ut the
bottom of all is the fact that preaching
loes not attract as it formerly did.
some preachers always draw crowds.
The trouble is in the preaching more
han in the people. - Picayune.

An element Of Democratic success in
the presidential campaign is the alb
sense Of former gigantic Republican
funds, the result of Mr.. Hanna Is bust
ness policy applied to politics. This
year the Republican campaign fund
is greatly limited in comparison with
that Of the two last campaigns, while
the Democratic means are much larger
in proportion; and accustomed TO carry
doubtful states by the force of money
the Republicans will find themselves
greatly hampered this year. Espe-
cially IS the vote controlled BY them
in the past has been lead to expect
more than they can invest and will
naturally turn away from what they
consider party parsimony to vote
against N niggard administrator
At any rate financially the contest
will be more like N even break.
which will enhance Democratic

THE CANE CROP OUTLOOK.

! Whatever may be said of theil
crops, there is but one report as to the
condition of the growing sugar cane
crop of this State. The weather has
continued as favorable as the most ex-
acting planter could have wished
The temperature has been high and
although there has not been much
rain for q week or more, moisture was
not needed, as there has been an
abundance during the summer.
AS a result of these favoring condi-
tions, the crop has continued to grow
rapidly, and there is now certainty
of heavy tonnage. With few more
weeks of equal progress, the crop will
be in position to do without much
additional moisture. and to ripen un-
der the influence of cooler and dryer
weather. Should pleasant fall give
the canes as high saccharine content
rs last season, Louisia ana would be
certain of the largest crop in her his
;ory.
Writing on the sugar prospects on
last, the Louisiana Planter
avs editorially:
Reports coming into us from prac
ically every parish in the Sugar Belt
Indicate the cane crop to be in excep-
ionally fine condition now and to be
rapidly. Some of our cor
espondents write of jubilation and of
record breaking crop, but Louisiana
as not yet made her s25, 600 long ton
rop of sugar, hut the pro spects for it
re promising. The cessation Of rains
trough the country generally. while
for the rice harvest, may
ct shorten the cane crop should q
routh follow. As hereinbefore stated
ne plant canes are not as luxuriant in
heir growth generally as the ratoons,
ut the cane crop situation as whole
very satisfactory. Picayune.

Maine Complete Election Returns.

A dispatch from Portland. Me-, last night
says: A republican plurality Of 27.13O is
shown by complete returns from the state
election of Monday, the unofficial tabula ton
of which. from the 500 cities. towns and
plantations. was completed to-day. The to-
tai vote for governor, as tabulated, was:
Cobb republican,, Il, AGO; Davis tdemocrat)
81 $50.
While these figures show a republican
gain OF 1880 votes over 1900. they also in
dictate democratic gain of IL PA, or a net
gain for their party OF 1884. ~
Congressional returns. though still not
complete, indicate a gain for both parties
practically the same as that in the vote
for governor. All four republican repre-
sentatives are elected by pluralites rang
ing from 5000 to 1000
The legislature, which will elect United
