BETHEL MISSIONARY PICNIC.
Oorrespendeuce Of tha Yorkxille Enouirer.

Bethel church held her fourth an
nual missionary cotton picnic, We'd
nesday and Thursday Of last week.
The weather was fine, and the attend
ance large at both the church and
chapel. Rev. E. E. Gillespie delivered
two most earnest, instructive and in
spring addresses on missions. 1t is
needless to say that the picnic dinners
fully maintained Bethers reputation,
and that is saying much for both the
quantity and quality.
But the best Of all was the large
amount Of cotton that was brought In
for foreign missions. When 1t was all
weighed up and added up at both the
church and chapel, 1t was found to
amount to 1902 pounds, making six
bales averaging about 500 pounds each.
This fine result was accomplished by
almost all the children of the congre-
cation. and many Of the adults, Joining
in the good work Of planting a mis-
sionary cotton patch. DR.. d. c. Boyd
and his two sisters took the prize in
contributing the largest amount for
any one family. They gave 1858 lbs.
Bethel church has been for six years
supporting a missionary. Rev. Ia o.

Residence of the subscriber has
nothing to do with the buggy contest.
II is the residence Of the clubmaker
that figures Every clubmaker has a
right to compete for the buggy to be
given away for and on account OF the
township in which he lives. The sub
scribers who make up his club may
come from anywhere, no matter where.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that we have put the retail price
of the rubber tired buggy that we are
to give the clubmaker who makes the
largest club in the competition now on,
too low. The rubber tired buggy re-
tails at from sos to 800, and hereaf-
ter the figures will be changed accord
ingly. All of these vehicles as stated
previously, are the very best to be had
at the prices mentioned.
The article in another column about
the proceedings Of the Associate Re
formed synod was compiled from vari-
Gus sources, including newspaper ac-
counts made up Of information secured
from returning members. One member
who left synod before Monday says
that he heard nothing Of the tobacco
resolution until after his return home.
He seemed to think there must be some
mistake about the statement. II such
an order was passed at all, he does
not think it could have been until the
closing hours when the membership OF
the synod was very much depleted, ana
Everybody was in a hurry. Further
more, he was inclined to think that
such an order would be Of very little
binding force until after the matter had
been overturned to the presbyteries. AS
a matter Of fact there are numerous
ministers in the church who use to-
bacco and who would make a very
vigorous kick against such an order.
II it is true that such an order has been
passed, it Is safe to say that there
will be some further consideration OF
the question at the next meeting OF
synod.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

An Associated Press dispatch of last
night gives the following summary of
the developments of the day on the
New York Cotton Exchanges:
There was an excited advance In the
cotton market today as a result or
small crop estimates based on the CEN
sus report and the close was excited
and irregular at u net advance OF q
to 81 points. Sales Of the day were
estimated at 100000 bales.
The market opened steady at a net
advance of 3 to points In response to
higher cables and the bullish census
figures but the upward tendency was
checked early by heavy realizing and
II was not until after midday that the
market became excited and scored its
big gains. Then there was very heavy
buying by Wall street shorts. One
broker took 10000 bales Of January In
a single block and there was general
as we'll as bull support based
on the census report and talk of bet

HOLD YOUR cotton. The best reason
for doing so is because Theodore Price
saws now is the time to sell. He pro-
poses to make financial arrangements
to get the money to pay for the cotton.

doubt short He wants the cotton. II

Yes, Theodore is generally short
All of the more successful gamblers are
generally short Sometimes Of course,
they have to get on the long side OF
the market: but it is the short side
that wins in the long run. That is
probably because it is so much easier
to tear down than it is to build up.
We are not willing to advise the wis
dom Of doing the opposite Of what
Theodore says, because Theodore un-
derstands that a great many people fol-

however, to put no confidence in The

Mr.. Brainerd Mcclure died at his
home in Chester last Monday morning
from the effects Of a stroke Of paraly-
sis a few days ago, as result OF fall

in the 67th year Of his age; was a
native of Chester and the youngest Of
seven children of Thomas Mcclure. an
early settler Of Chester, coming from

Princeton college, class Of 81. He serv-
ed the last two years Of the Confeder-
ate war; a member of Macbeth's artil-
lery in the Army Of Northern Virginia.
Since the war Mr.. McLure's work was
in the school room and In newspaper
work, first with papers in Chester and
the last several years as travelling rep

THE probability is that Mr.. Bryan

election of Mr.. Bryan is another mat
ter So far as The Enquirer is con-
cerned, we see no reason why he would
not make a very good president; out
we do not believe he can be elected,
We are inclined to think that the Re-

would rather see the Democrats put
up Bryan again than any other DEM

that they have ever had any direct in
terest in the petty operations Of the
bulls and the bears. What we did in
innate was that when Brown and
Hayne got these little professional bears
down on their backs, Morgan and others
saw there was danger of starting the
blocks to falling, and they came In on
the side Of the bears for the purpose
Of trying to restore the status quo. and
preventing the south from gaining In
financial prestige to such an extent as
to endanger northern supremacy.
There are two sides to the question
as to whether fluctuation in the price
of stocks occasioned by speculation af-
fects the value in the hands Of actual
holders. OF course, on paper the
wealth of Mr.. Morgan, for instance,
can bob up and down to the extent OF
millions a day; but what does he care
so long as the dividends remain the
same? We once told a farmer that
the building of a railroad through his
land, and he told us that he did not
want to sell 1t. II there was an actual
loss of one billion in the value Of Sc
curities on the New York market-loss
In the value, we say, not price-many
of the big life insurance companies
would be bankrupt. AS it is, they are
merely laughing at the storm, and
waiting for an opportunity to get in at
the bottom. We know little or moth
ing about Atlantic Coast Line or Ten
nessee Coal and Iron. These properties
may change hands as the result Of the
purchase of controlling interests be-
cause Of the so-called shrinkage; but
the real value is there today, just the
same as it was three weeks ago.
We have nothing to say about the
last paragraph except that we do not
think that the southern farmer has
ever developed the habit of Imagining
that some power over which he has no
control is determined to choke him to
DEATH" There are some maybe, who
think that, but such fear is not char
acteristic Of the farmers Of this Sec
ton. We know hundreds and hun
dreds Of them who are as nearly free
and Independent as any people we have
ever seen. They are able to discuss
these questions that are now under
as intelligently and as
broadly as other classes of business or
professional men, and they ask but
little odds of anybody. They have for
years been doing and are still doing
just what our contemporary says they
should do, and that Is why they have
not been ground to powder as the re-
suit Of the present holdup.

port showing the amount Of cotton
ginnned to November 14th was consid-

cate a crop Of 11,500,000 bales, as the

SPEAKING OF financial prestige

Great Britain came so near being mix
