EXTRACTS
From Report Of R. N. Hopkins,
Bible School Evangelist OF
Christian Church.
lContinned from last week.l

Continued from last week.
Organized Bible School work
among Christian churches in Ken
lucky began at Paris, Nov. 4, 1873.
The movement has met with many
vicissitudes. An historical paper
setting forth this movement will
be presented at next convention
by p. II. Duncan.
A salient feature during the year
has been the emphasis upon the
work of the pastor in the school.
He must prepare himself for
teaching as he does for preaching.
He must solve the school problems
for the edification of his congrega-
ton by familiarity with the latest
books on Bible School principles.
He should stand for careful study
of Bible by every member of the
church and every member being in
the school. He must be a teacher
of the teachers.
The pastor is responsible for the
preaching in his pulpit and should
he for the teaching done in his
school.

During the year he travelled 49,,
246 miles: labored in 50 counties,
visited 100 schools. was in 81 in

School Association was incorporat-
ed Feb. >. 1906. No effort for

Horse and Buggy Wednesday

Wednesday morning, about noon, a
large crowd was standing around the
car tracks watching the departure of
the circus trains. Drs. Payne & Hol-
bert, in DR.. Payne's rig drove by and
the horse became frightened and
started to plunge and rear.
Marshall Hebron, who was stand
ing near, tried to push the crowd
away from the careerlng animal and
in trying to save colored woman
directly in the way OF the horse, was
hit, by one OF the shafts of the buggy,
near his left eye. knocking him down,
the buggy passing over him.
1t was a close call for Mr.. Hebron,
but aside from few bruises, he was
none the worse for his brave and dar-
ing saving of the colored woman's
life.

BARNUM &
BAILEY
CIRCUS DID NOT EXHIBIT
HERE WEDNESDAY.
Owing to the Unfavorable Condition
of the Streets and Site Selected
Many Visitors Disappointed

Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show
on Earth did not exhibit nthis city
last Wednesday, The continued rains
OF last week put our streets in such
a condition that it was found impos-
sible to haul the wagons to the
grounds which were wet and boggy.
The tents were wet and heavy and
all the facts made the task of showing
impossible.
The circus trains arrived direct
from Memphis Tuesday morning, cut
ting out its Clarksdale date on that
day After looking over the situation
here, the management decided not to
Iuuload but wait until next day and
see what the prospects were. If the
weather had cleared Tuesday, no
doubt exhibitions would have been
given. but rains fell off and on all
day Tuesday, making conditions even
worse.
Wednesday dawned bright and sun
ny, but too late to render the condi-
tions better and the circus trains left
during the noon hour for Baton
Rouge, La, cutting out its Vicksburg
date Thursday. If conditions are not
favorable there the trains will con-
tinue down to Ne wOrleans. In the
past two weeks the circus has haa
70 cancel ten dates from Cain, Ill,
south, owing to the rainy weather and
the loss is an enormous amount to
them.
Greenvilie is considered by all cir
cuses to be the best show town in
the South and the management ex-
| pressed great regret that IT was i'm
possible to exhibit here. Our streets
were thronged despite the bad wealth
| er previous to circus day and the dis
appointment OF the visitors knew no
bounds
The city will have another show III
about six weeks time, the Hagen
BACH trained animal circus being
headed this way.

SOUTHERN
RAILROADS
TO GIVE COTTON GROWERS
EQUAL BENEFIT AS NORTH
Southrn Export Business at Mercy of
Commission-Greate Portion of
AExport Business After Nov.

If cotton growers and the Southern
benefit of export rates on cotton
equally as favorable as those through
Northern ports after October 81, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
temporary order permitting the rail-
roads of the South to equalize cot
ton rates through all the ports with
out giving thirty days notice or any
notice whatever beyond the posting
of the rates in two places in every
section from which the rates apply.
The law has placed the export busi-
ness of the Southern ports at the
mercy of the Commission and no
one knows the basis on which it Will
have to be done after the expiration
of the temporary order. This is the
more important for the reason that
by far the greater proportion Of the
export movement of this years cot
ton crop will take place after Nov.
I, and the uncertainty as to the fu-
ture must have tendency to de-
crease competition among buyers to
reduce the price paid to growers.
Unless the Interstate Commerce
Commission can be induced to make
an order that will extend the present
system of making export cotton rates
without limit there is danger that the
first effect of the Hepburn LAWN
stead of being beneficial-will be tc
harm very seriously important South
ern interests.-Wash. Letter.
