BADLY HURT IS COTTON
AS RESULT OF COLD
Wind tuesday is Injurious
To Crop.
MUCH REPLANTING is REQUIRED
Unusual Gold Quite Recently Has In
lured Considerably The GrON-
ing Crop and RepIdnting
viii Be Necessary.
MUCH REPLANTING is REQUIRED

Winter lingering in the lap OF
Spring will necessitate the replanting
of considerable portion of the cotton
crop of this section. Such was the
opinion of several well known farmers
who came to Americas yesterday, and
after examining the crop.
Yesterdays cold weather did con-
siderable damage here.
In fact, the belief is expressed that no
small portion of the crop here has either
been killed, or else is so severely
injured by the cold as to render re-
planting of fields necessary.
If this is true the situation confront
ing the farmers is serious one, both
from the stand point of additional cost
as well as the great scarcity and high
price of seed. There are not enough
seed left to plant any great portion Of
a crop.
While the young cotton looked limp
and sick yesterday, hope is expressed
that few days of bright, warm sun
shine may restore it in part.

THIRTEEN TO ONE WAS THE SCORE
Georgia TWirIerS Put Out of Com.
mission by A. D. H.

An excited crowd of boys burst into
the Times Recorder Office as the sun
was going down yesterday. Trium-
plant @yictory was written on each
eager countenance. Thirteen to one"
was their shout.
The Georges Twirlers had met their
Waterloo and the victors had come to
tell the story of the crushing blow. It
was happy hour for the A. D. Fl. when
the Twirlers, conquerors in many a
hard fought battle of the diamond,
went down in ignominious defeat.
'We'se put dem out of commission, -
volunteered one joyful kid, while
another shouted the information that in
sheer disgust the Twirlers had dis
banded forever.
Whether that be so or not the score
was - to 1. The batteries were Pan
tone and Hart for the A. D. Fl. and
Clark and Sherlock for the G.. Il.

THE SHORT NOSES.
0omethins TO Be Said In Favor Of
Those Who Wear Them.

8omethins to Be Said In Favor OF
Those Who Wear Them.
"Physlognomists tell us that the big
nosed people do the worlds work, -
said short nosed man the other day,
''and they generally add a lot of rub
bish about Napoleon's big nose and
how he always selected big nosed men
to carry out daring undertakings.
"That Napoleon story was invented
by some one with a nose like Cyrano
de Bergerac, who wanted an excuse
for his proboscis and therefore pre-
tended that his nose was but the in
PRODUCTION to massive, imposing
character. 1t is true that big nose is
sometimes indicative Of flrmness and
determination, but only when 1t is as
ISOLATED with strong jaw and long
chin. A big nose with a retiring chin
Is almost idiotic in the expression it
gives to the countenance. Every car
toonist knows this. Whenever you see
cartoon Of society dude it shows a
long nose and small chin.
"But there is something to be said
in favor of the short noses. The short
nose shows wit, Imagination, tact,
judgment, discretion. Socrates had
snub nose, and of the lively magma
tive writer's in almost any language
considerable proportion was short
nosed people. Long nosed men may
do their share of the worlds work,
but the short noses write the clever
books and the entertaining plays. If
Shakespeare had had nose like the
Duke of wellington, do you ever sup
pose that he would have written the
Merry Wives of Windsor?" He
might have been a successful theater
manager, but would never have be-
come a literary artist. - ST. Louis

more than they need a front door re-
vival. We need bitterly to speed some
parting guests. Constant effort shout
be put forth to make every member
Nbount for something.
Another Americas pastor, who did
not wish his name used said:
While such a procedure is not un-
usual, L do not say that it may not
have some merits. There is no reason
why church should be loaded up
with dead timber any more than any
other organization. A man does not
complain if the odd Fellows, or
knights of Pythias. or Masons, drop
him from the rolls because he refuses
to pay his dues and contribute his pro-
portion to their support. Why, then,
should he complain if the church re-
fuses to carry him when he fails to
attend it's services assist in its support,
or demonstrate that he has any interest
in its existence.
THE person who is able to contribute
| to the support of the church of which
he is nominally member and does not
! do so is practically a religious dead
beat. He is throwing his burden onto
, the shoulders of others. / do not know
that it would do our Americas churches
any harm to clean out occasionally,
although as a general proposition the
church people of Americas come pretty
we'll up to their duties so far as atten-
dance and support are concerned?''
A Very Serious tep.
A third pastor looked at it from diff
, ferent viewpoint. When seen by a
Times Recorder representative he said:
81 do not wish to be personally
quoted, but 1 have grave fears as to
the propriety, ACCESSIBILITY, or chris
tlanity of such step as arbitrarily
: dropping people from the church be-
cause of either non attendance or fail
ure to contribute to its support. L do
not think the scriptures authorize such
Sh0P' AhO OhAJ A0aSOho 1Oh winch
| would advocate the dropping ola mem
, Der are moral ones, and it would then
only be after every effort had been
made to induce the guilty one to re-
pent and change his course.
ITO my mind it is a most serious
matter to withdraw fellowship from a
brother or sister. Christ would have
been very slow to have done so for any
minor backSliding. OF that feel sure. .

BOMB HURLED BY CHURCH
Eighty Members Are Dumped for Non Payment and
Non Attendance.

The Second Baptist church, of
Augusta, of which Rev. o. p. Gilbert,
of the Americas First Baptist church
was pastor until aboutseighteen months
ago, has thrown a bomb into its mem
bership by dropping the names of
eighty of them from its roll because of
non attendance at divine worship and
failure to contribute to the support of
the church.
This is something that is seldom
done" said Mr.. Gilbert in discussing
the matter yesterday" There have
been instances of this kind before but
they are very rare. AS a general rule
members are dropped from church
only on account of some moral lapse,
and not simply because they have fail
ed to display a proper interest in the
church and its affairs.
"At the same time it is undoubtedly
true that such members as seem to
have been dropped from Augusta church
are of very little, If any, benefit, either
to the individual church or to the great
cause in which they are supposed to
have enlisted
The Augusta Chronicle says of the
incident in that city:
"One of the foremost divines was
heard recently to remark that church
discipline was lost art. 1t does not so
seem sometimes. The Second Baptist
Church of this city does not agree
with tho contention. THE pastor and the
deacons of the church, in going over
the roll of the church discovered the
names of individuals who were neither
attending nor supporting the worship
and service of the church. Letters were
mailed out to these individuals. No
response being made and the matter
having been called to the attention OF
the church, after due deliberation,
these names were dropped from the
list of the membership of the church.
The number was about eighty.

Wants the Real Money.

Congressman Victor Murdoch met
Taylor Riddle-he who used to be
chairman of the Populist state COM
mittee-on a train a few days ago. Mr..
Murdoch asked Mr. Riddle for his
views on the present situation. Rid
die replied in substance that in 1896
when Kansas and the West was almost
bankrupt as result of crop failures and
scarcity of money, the East rose up as
one man and demanded of the West
that they meet their obligations
promptly in good 10O-cent dollars, with
no reputation. Taylor said that the
West came through but it took the
Injuries from the home, the clothes
and food from the children and left
the homes almost desolate, but the
West paid in good, hard dollars.
Now" said Taylor 70 Vic, when you
get back there we don't want any as
set currency. We want you to see
that the East comes through and pays
the West what it owes in good, hard
money"

Latest Kansas Events.
Militia MAY Lose Support.

In an attempt to save the Kansas
National guard and the guards of 9TH
er states, Gov. Hoch has dictated a
letter to the United States secretary
of war protesting against the enforce
ment of the recent order to the effect
that unless there are So men in a
company it must be disbanded, or at
least be cut OFF from the yearly ap-
preparation from the government This
order will go into effect January 81
unless it is rescinded. Each company
of national guard in Kansas does not
have So men, yet in times of war Kan
sas has always furnished her share of
soldiers. In his letter to the war de-
partment the governor called attention
to this fact. He did not make his
letter public but he urged that the
minimum number of men be reduced
to 40 or that the order be suspended
until congress has time to act. The
amount appropriated by the govern
ment for the aid of national guards
each year is 100000. Kansas
share in this has been $4,000 in mill
tary supplies. The effect of the order
will be to cut off this $4,000 unless
it is possible to recruit the different
Kansas companies sufficiently to over
step the line.
