SaDDath observance.
The report of the committee on Sab
bath Observance was sumbitted and
was as follows:
your committee on Sabbath OBJ
servancc submit the following report:
THE proper observance of the
Christian Sabbath is of perpetual and
paramount Importance to the church
and State.
"The Sabbath day is not human
invention but a gift from God. Ii is
not simply an eXpediency but an alb
solute necessity, the life and power
of the church as wei as the per-
Nancy of the nation being interviewer
with its observance.
"To the busy toiler the Sabbath is a
respite, and stands for the emancipa-
ton from that ser"itude to labor
which would otherwise rob him of
the time necessary for the improves
ment OF his mind and the cultivation
Of his heart The redemption of the
world from the thrldom of sin. is in
an important degree bound UP in the
divine idea of q Holy Sabbath.
ITO DESTROY the civil Sabbath would
be to enslaVc the laborcr; to destroy
the Christian Sabbath would be to
reduce the opportunities of the church
to propagate the Cross and make
proselytes of men. Whatever, there,
fore, threatens the Sabbath day, civil
or religious, is an unmitigated evil
which cannot bc sanctioned nor toll
Grated by the church. 1t is the
bOundcn duty of the Christian peO
pie to defend the Sabbath, and to stu
1iously avoid any oerversion and all
appea RANGES of such a perversion.
"Tc the Holy Ministry, especially,
must we look for 2 persistent and
1nfa of n n
More than ali others, our
preachers are IT'S custodians by virtue
of divine authority and are, therefore,
doubly responsible to God for any
abuse of the Sabbath. The situation
which just at this time is critical, is
largely in the hands of the ministry.
BY proper, determined and resolute
stand our preachers may create and
mould public sentiment, just as has
been done for temperance, which will
hold in abeyance the many aggressions
of the world which seem so threaten
ing. We must be courageous and wise,
and warn our people against all desc
cration; and labor for the mainten-
ancc of public and religious con-
science upon the matter.
Respectfully,
EUCLID McWHORTER.

The report of the Committee on the
Orphanage was received as follows:
"Your Committee on the Orphan
age beg leave to report that the in
stitution has enjoyed remarkable
progress during the year and is rapid
ly gaining a deeper hold in the affec-
tions of our people.

AND NOW TOBACCO FARMERS.

The Manufacturers Record of No
vember 23rd, credits the Southern
| Cotton Association with having saved
for the South no less than fifty mil
lion dollars" says the president of
the Georgia Association. He figures
that this would save to Georgia ST.
142,S57. If this estimate is correct the
saving to North Carolina farmers
would be in the neighborhood OF four
million dollars If the fight for fifteen
cent cotton is won the South will have
added to it's wealth this year in round
figures one hundred million dollars
The difference to the South betweeT:
eight cents for cotton and twelve cents
is $160,000,000 a year and that means
much to all America as we'll as to 'ot-
ton growers, for it means that sold
in great volume will flow to this coun-
try from Europe and help every bank
and business by giving a big balance
of trade in our favor.
Referring to the Southern Gotten
Association, the Manufacturers ltec-
ord says at first it was looked upon as
a visionary organization and not treated
seriously But the cotton world now
recognizes that a new power has en-
tered the field, and is upsetting many
plans. The worlds cotton
trade will have a new factor to reck-
on with The success of the cotton
farmers is interesting other farmers,
particularly tobacco farmers who have
been ffeeccd even worse than the cot
ton farmers, because, in a very large
sense, the tobacco farmers have been
at the mercy of the most rapacious and
soulless trust that has ever fattened
by robbing both producer and con-
sumner, and aims also to strike down
the retail dealer as we'll as the farm
er and the consumer. The tobacco
farmers are organizing in Kentucky
and Tennessee and showing their
teeth. The following special from
Richmond to the Norfolk Landmark
shows that the tobacco farmers are
going to make an earnest fight to get
better prices for their tobacco:
"John B. Allen. of Tennessee, is
successfully arOuS1nS the IODdCCO
raisers in middle Virginia to organiza-
ton to fight the tobacco trust and to
control the prices of their own pro-
duct The organization is already
formidable and rapidly growing.
Prince Edward Amelia, AppomattoX
and Powhatan are thoroughly organ
lied and have men in the field solicit
ing tobacco only at the prices fixed
by the organization.
similar movements are spreading
in Hanover, Goochland. Fluvanna,
Buckingham, Chesterfield, Charlotte
and other counties. The plan is to hold
the tobacco until the demand for it
reaches what they consider fair
price Every tobacco raiser is asked
to take a share of stock in an asso
ciation factory and it is proposed to
manufacture the raw material and
compete direct in the retail market
with the great tobacco trusts. The
farmers are taking hold of the propo-
sition with enthusiasm
The farmers have grown tired of
having New York gamblers and the
Tobacco trust fix the price of what
they grow and paying them What they
please-just enough to encourage
them to keep on growing enough for
the needs of the world by putting up
the price one year and the next year
depressing it below the cost of pro-
ductiOn.

is IT TEN MILLION BALES?

Will the cotton crop reach ten mil
lion bales?
If not. the price ought to go 10
fifteen cents and will do SO as sure
as Christmas comes on the twenty
fifth day of December if the farmers
refuse to sell the balance of the crop
at lower figure. If it reaches the TO-
167,S1S estimated in the Government
report it ought still to go to fourteen
or fifteen cents for it is worth that
much. but if the report of the ginners
of 9,623.000 crop, the farmers ought
to and will command fifteen cents if
days for fifteen cents.
These two estimates are about 500,-
600 bales apart. If the ginners are
right, cotton ought, by the law of
supply and demand, to go up so as 20
average the farmers twelve and a
half cents for the whole years crop.

A QUAINT OLD CITY.

Bruges, the Chief Industry of Which
Is Lace Making.
Bruges lace has been made in the
converts of Rruges by old women
whose hands have grown stiff clicking
the bobbins back and forth, who learn
ed when they were children from other
old women, who in turn had learned it
for hundreds of years. Lace making is
the chief industry of this city Of Bel
GUM, the capital Of the province Of
West Flanders, but that it has not
made for the prosperity Of the place
is attested by the fact that in a popu-
are $4,000 paupers. 1t is very quaint
old city, the corporation Of weavers Of
Bruges having been celebrated in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t reached the
height of its prosperity in the fifteenth
century, when it was one of the great
commercial emporiums of the world
and was famed far and wide for it's
tapestries. The great prosperity, how
ever, led to such extravagant habits in
dress and social life that Charles v.
was obliged to pass stringent sumptu-
ary laws. Complications between sub
the removal of all trade to Antwerp
and the ruin Of Bruges as a CONNER
cial center, but the name and fame Of

William Rufus King. born April 6,

president of the United States who
never served in that capacity and one
who took the oath Of office on foreign
soil, something which can be SAT-: Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people Of this coun-
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed so rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him in
as vice president at about the hour
whea Pierce was taking the oath of
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
q dot, and on the day appointed, at
plantation on one Of the highest hills
in the vicinity Of Matanzas, Mr.. King
was made vice president Of the United
States amid the solemn ''Eaya vol con
Dios' God will be with you) Of the
creoles wLo had assembled to witness
the unique spectacle. Vice President
King returned to his home at Cahaw
ba, Ala, arriving at that place April
II, 1853, and died the following day.
