COTTON MARKET LOWER,
DRIVE At LATE MONTHS

NEW YORK. Nov 16--A bitter drive

day directed chiefly at the late months
uncovered a lot Of Supporters. and brok
prices 7 TO 9 points, and ten minutes
after the start the loss was Increased
10 10 to II points. The raid was helped
by the weak cables which reflected un-
favorable reports from Wall Street, and
fears OF dearer money. Quite a lot Of
selling Of December occurred. Stin later
the list rallied a little.

A religious wave is sweeping
over the country-this particular
section--such as has not been wit
messed since the awakening of 1912
or the days of the reformation.
Men prominent in all avenues of
life are taking an active part in
work. Lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants, and other busy people are
engaged in the work of leading
souls to Christ-such a turn of af-
fairs never witnessed before by
the present generation. This is
exemplifed in Union City in the
Gates revival. Some attribute it
to the fact that the preacher is
more censecrated in his work than
many of his brothers. There is no
doubt that the evangelist is conse.
Grated, but we imagine that God
Almighty is directing the work,
and it is He who is retaining his
people. 1t occurs to us that the
Lord is looking after the work
which His teachers have neglected.
The churches have been too care
I.
less. The seasons of revival are
made necessary to the salvation of
souls for the reason that sim
ners are invited to Christ in
some places only during these oc-
casions. The idea may be erro-
neous, but we hold to the opinion
that a church service lacking that
invitation is not complete. 1t is q
failure of duty. 1t is neglect. In
some countries the invitation is
never neglected, and it should not
be in any Christian church at any
service where sinners are congre-
gated.

WHILE you LEGIsLATE.

OF all the Legislation yet pro
posed ia the Tennessee Legislature,
not excepting any, there is none
of more importance than that con-
templated by the Nashville Credit
Mems Association to abolish the
bucket shop industry. Of all
forms of gambling there is none
dreadful or destructive in its re-
suits. The race-track gambling
custom has its evil influences, but
they are so tame when compared
to the nucket-shop practice that
they pale into absolute insignifi
canoe. The worst a bookmaker
could do was to ply his vocation
twice year in one or two large
cities in a State, while the bucket
shop prevails in nearly every small
town and robs its victims of hun
dreds of dollars every day in the
year except Sundays and holidays.
Robs! That's the word. No gam
bling more insidious-no gambling
so treacherous. The end Of the
line is Wall street, and the bro
kers operate with the single idea
of fleeing the lambs, and they sell
dom fail in this. Then there is no
gambling SO destructive. Money,
body and soul are enveloped in
the vortex. One man temporarily
makes a million while thousands
stake every penny and everything
they can borrow. 1t not only robs
the gambler, but the community
which seeks to restore him and
his fortunes. Monte Carlo has its
hundreds of suicides, while Wall
street and the grain pits have their
= suicides of the body |
and soul.
There is another phase to this
question. The South has no stock
nor grain pit. Every
cent of the $25, 100000 a year the
South spends in bucket shops goes
nto Northern channels. 1t is eter-
rally lost to the South, and if there
vas single redeeming feature in
he practice the South gets no ben
fit from it. So it is doubly detri-
to this section of the United
States and should be stamped cut.
