system, and the hope long deferred

DENOUNCED GAMBLING AND
DRINKING IN SERMON.

A denunciation of the evils of drink,
ing and gambling was made by Rev.
o. G.. Mingledorff in his sermon last
night at the Gospel tent at Abercorn
and Thirty-fourth streets.
Two services were held yesterday,
one in the afternoon at o'clock, and
the other at $50 p. IN. The afternoon
service was conducted by Rev. j. A.
Smith, and the night service by Rev.
o. CT. Mingledorff.
Mr.. Mingledorff took as his text,
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap" He took the position
that an act in itself might be perfect
ly harmless and innocent, but yet In
its reActionary influence might lead
ito consequences fearful to contem-
plate. He spoke of the evils of drink
ing and gambling as belonging to this
class of acts.
To-day, as already announced in the
Morning News, the tent will be re-
moved from its present location to Bur-
roughs and Anderson streets. There
will be no services tonight, but be-
ginning with tomorrow night, there
will be services every night this week.
The services will be conducted by Rev.
p. d. Ellis. presiding elder OF the
Savannah district of the Methodist
Conference

SIZE OF RICE CROP
470,326,400 POUNDS.

ment of Agriculture.

such the Estimate Made by Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The cultivation of rice, it is stated
in Washington. is Ia pidly becoming an
important agricultural industry in all
of those parts of the United States
adapted to the growing of this grain.
and If the production continues to in
crease for a few years as rapidly as
it has in the past five years this coun-
try will soon cease TO be an importer
of rice in any considerable quantities
and will have large surplus for eX-
port.
Rice has been raised along the South
Atlantic seacoast of the United States
since a century before the American
Revolution but it is only since mod
ern farming methods have been adopt
ed in Southwestern Louisiana and
Southeastern Texas within compare
lively recent years that the industry
has made much Roadway. The in
PRODUCTION of improved methods in
this Southwestern rice territory began
about twenty years ago. and since
then the industry has advanced very
rapidly.
The census of 1900 showed that for
the crop year of 1899 the total area de
voted to rice culture in the United
States was 342.2 pa acres and the total
production was 250. 2S0,227 pounds. A
preliminary report by the special agent
OF the Bureau of Statistics in the Agri-
cultural Department assigned to the
rice crop shows that this year the to-
tai area amounts to CAB, 400 acres, an
Increase in five years of SO per cent.
Assuming that the average production
per acre will be about the same this
year as was shown by the census
figures, the total rice crop of the Unit
ed States will be about 47O, 1926. 400
pounds.
The growing Importance of the South
western rice fields is shown by the
division of the total acreage among
the states. North Carolina has 1900
acres in rice: South Carolina, $4,000;
Georgia, 5000; Louisiana, 1865, 100, and
Texas 294.200. In the census year
Louisiana and Texas had but 59.9 per
cent. of the total rice acreage of the
country. This year they have SO.
per cent. of the total.

QUIET IN
MANCHURIA
Russian Forces Reported over
the Yalu.
PORT ARTHUR IS UNSAFE
Japanese Successes Have Made
the Russian Stronghold
Untenable.
PORT ARTHUR IS UNSAFE

YINKOW, March 1.-THE only reli.
able reports at the present moment
from the main Manchurian cities show
a quiet movement along the railway,
and such cities as Mukden, which are
OFF the main line, are undisturbed. The
people here are not in possession Of
definite news OF outside events.
The chief movement on the Fonghu-
augcheng military road is the dispatch
of riders to and from the Russian ad-
vance forces.
A credible native has arrived here,
bringing report as late as March Il
from Fonghuangcheng TO the effect
that the main body Of the concentrat-
ed forces had crossed the Yalu, leay-
ing small bodies of troops at Antung
and other points to guard the river
\ fortnight ago a few spies visited
AntuSg, but since then no Japanese
have been seen west OF the Yalu.
A Mukden dispatch says Captain
Ivkov Of the Manchurian commissariat
service has been summarily court mar
tailed and shot for acting rs spy in
the puy of the Jupauese
When arrested on suspicion Of espi-
Onage documents found in Ivkov's pos
session left no doubt of the truth Of
the charges that he had long been re-
vealing military secrets to the Japa-
nese.
The tragic story became public
through a simple announcement that
Ivkov had been dismissed from the
service.
The yiceroy has been informed that
Japan has more than $500 secret ennis
sarIes at work in Russia and Siberia,
principally along the route of the Sibe-
rian railroad
The continued attacks Of the Japa-
nese have compelled the steady occu-
patton Of the Liaoung peninsula. The
last bombardment of Port Arthur rem
dered every part of the fortress of
Port Arthur unsafe. Residents assert
that fragments Of Japanese shells fell
everywhere and that some railway
coaches and buildings were destroyed,
though most of the damage on the
shore was unimportant.

STATEMENT
WAS FALSE
Miss Morgan's Millinery Business
Mas Good.

Mr. Editor:-I wish to correct state
ment which has been made by bust
ness man in Bennington since / left
town, the effect that my Millinery
business was good for nothing, all run
out, in fact that | would not have been
able to run it another season, and
that was why l got out of it.
The last year that was in business
in Bennington l sold 1912 trimmed
hats and orders, that does not include
the ready trimmed duck or linen or
sailors either straw or felt for ladies
or children, or the hats sold and taken
out untrimmed
Although that is not as large num-
ber as used to be turned out of my
work room when there were only five
or six millinery places in town, still
any one may judge if it looks like
mot being able to run another sea-
SON" And as there we're three other
parties who would have liked to pur-
chase my business, does not look as
though l 'inveigled some one to take
it off of my hands"
did have one reason for selling be
sides my expectation OF few months
of travel, and that was the almost inn
possibility of collecting from some Gus
toners, had been doing credit bust
ness for so long time, people SEEM
ed to forget that | needed money.
Some bills sent time and again would
not receive any notice. In a few in
stances where l have insisted that
must have the money l have not even
had bowing acquaintance since with
the person who was owing the bill. OF
course there were many customers who
always paid promptly.
1t is unpleasant making a public
statement of my affairs, but when a
business man who has known me dur
ing sixteen years as an honest success
sful b usiness woman make such an er-
roneous statement in regard TO my
business affairs, feel that justice to
myself as we'll as my successor de-
mands the truth plainly told.
