OcINOl. MI. humphreys gave a. Dlltl
statement Of Christian Endeavor work
in the state. Throughout the country
Christian Endcavor has never been so
aggressive OF So alive to the opportuLi-
ties OF the hour AS at this time. Tho
records Of the United States show that
some 900 new societies were organized
..-r "1rf - 5000 societies.
1000 making report to the united society
gave in five years 81 $4,000 which gives
some idea OF tho missionary asset that
has been developed. in our brotherhood
there are 5000 societies, with mem
bcrsnip Of 10000.
During the last year about 600 new
societies were organized About $4,000
was given 90 missions, besides the contri-
tuition through the church. The En-
deavors support the orphanage work at
Damon India. which is one OF the bright
stars i'm the black night OF heathenism.
The Virginia Societies.
The Virginia societies number eighty.
Last year nine societies gave $3.50 to
foreign missions For the coming year
one society alone has pledged that much
In conclusion, Mr.. Humphreys asked the
support OF the Virginia ministry in the
organization Of new societies the organi-
zation and conduct Of Bible and mission
study classes and the encouragement OF
young men TO prepare themselves for the
ministry and the mission field.

 Now, why does MT. Conner object to having a reporter at his heels? Why
 does he regard 1t as bounding him?
 Why does he want his speeches hld un- der bushel? Is 1t because he desires to make utterances to the people that
 won't bear publicity? Is it because he
 wishes to make appeals to the preju-
 dices and passions of some classes that won't bear the limelight of the news paper, that won't strengthen him with all classes of people? Does he want to go around and elaborate his past ar

THE scouRGE OF PNEUMONIA.

The medical men and the bacteria experts seem to be somewhat at sea on the subject of pneumonia. The theory of germs as the cause of the dis ease is gaining ground. and experts declare that it is highly infectious and contagious. yet some of the best of them assert that an examination of the throats of given number of persons would disclose the presence of pneu- monia germs in large proportion of them. If that is true, why do not all of them have the disease? If the germs exist in the throats of most people. why are they apparently harmless in the greater number of them?
 Again, it used to be. and to a great monia is strictly a cold-weather dis ease. and that it is caused by exposure to a cold, damp atmosphere, but that theory is not without flaws. for it is found in all climates and at all seasons. In New Mexico and Arizona they have it. and we are informed by late au- thority that it fiourishes in Southern California and is more prevalent in dry weather than during the rainy season. That, again, is hard to account for. As to it's treatment, The Chicago Chronicle is decidedly pessimistic, saying;
 When we come to the treatment of the disease 1t is admitted to be more good luck than anything else that pulls the patient through The best medical skill is powerless, as Chicago has had occasion to know this winter. If the patients vital force is sufficient to fight off the disease he recovers, if not ht can not save him. Thus it appears tha there is no positive means of proven tion and there Is certainly none of cure As for the bacteriology of the disease it is to say the least, mixed.
 That is as good as to say that tn doctors know very little about 1t, am that it is little better than accident they cure a case. It is, of course, tru that this disease sometimes yields t treatment and sometimes 1t does no' but is not this true of all other all ments? If the doctors could cure al human ills, there would be few death from disease. Yet this disease is no only terrible of itself, but frequent lays the foundation for tuberculosi and death If there is a preventive 0 pneumonia, it has not been found. an

The statement of a Columbus Cot tor Exchange man. that a consider able number of Georgia farmers are specuIating in cotton futures with the surplus money they have on hand says The Savannah News Is doubtless correct Except for speculating with surplus money in cotton futures, the South would be much richer to-day than she is Millions of dollars are poured annually into the speculative market, and most of it finds its way into the pockets of the professional bulls and bears in New York. Where one Southern cotton farmer strikes" the market for a hundred dollars, a hundred farmers contribute as much each to the enrichment of the New York manipulators. If this surplus money were kept at home and invested in legitimate enterprises it would not be many years before the South would be the richest and most prosperous section"

'It has been many years since I have witnessed such congestion of freight traffic in the Southern States" said a commercial trayeler yesterday. Near ly all the railroads seem to be troubled with shortage of cars and few emp ties are to be seen nowadays.
 None of the roads seem to have too many engines, either, and all this com bination is playing havoc with train schedules.
 ATn Alabama my observation has been that the Louisville and Nashville lines are the most crowded about this time. The conditions or described by The Montgomery Advertiser few days ago, were true. There is a car famine, though, all around, and it was demon- strated this past fall when there was an unusual amount Of cotton gathered at the concentrating points of the State.
 There were some complaints before the Railroad Commission about the slowness of certain carriers in handling cotton shipments but 1t was explained by the car shortage and the delay of the shippers themselves, possibly hold ing for the increasing prices of the ataple."

 T might say it's nuisance. They are no respecters of persons for one of the Syrians will approach a citizen on the street or in any public place and actually button-hole him, swinging on to his sleeve and refuse to let him go until he gives up @ dime.
 Could they not be classed as va grants and thus legally disposed of? On account of their more than brazen methods and unsanitary appearance, 1t may be that they could be called a nuisance and thus hustled out of town. Any legal way to rid the streets of the creatures Is certainly acceptable and I'm sure Montgomery's citizens all most as a whole. would thank the po- lice for some aid or relief in this emer- gency.

 Card From Mir. Beckham.
 Referring to the report of the Jas, per speech of MT. Conner, as reported by your special correspondent. Mir. Co., mer spoke for nearly three hours. and at the conclusion of his speech. 1t was but a few minutes to train time. Your very late in the evening and at once proceeded to the hotel to make a re- bort of the speech. which report was wired from-that point. though dated at Jasper. As is we'll known, to write 3 speech of that length in full would have taken many hours. and as 1t was, to 20 through the whole thing and se- feet those parts which might constitute news took several hours. Your cor respondent was writing against time to get the story filed with the telegraph Company in time to reach his paper be- fore midnight. Tn scanning his notes finds that MT. Conner did not state that he favored the appointment of Senators to vacancies by the Governor, but that the Governor should have the proper power of ordering primary for that purpose. In this connection, how ever while Mr. Conner states that ne makes no attack on the action of the Democratic Committee. and will bow 10 their decision, the published report z cannot fail to show otherwise. when he has repea tedly charged that the pri- mary plan was drawn by crowd of railroad attorneys the day before the Executive Committee met. and als1 his criticism of the plan that the Ex- ecutIve Committee should not be elected by a convention vote. My instructions from the editor of The Advertiser are to report Mir. Conner verbatim and thereby avoid the contin- Rency of a garbled report. and this has heretofore in every instance been done. r,
