a member of the convention still he
desired to speak of the excellent work
in state missions which is being done
by Rev. and Mrs. Livingston Johnson
He said it was due to the work OF
this faithful man and woman that
such an excellent report was possible,
and that to Mr.. Johnson more than to
any other one man in the convention
is due the rapid advance the work or
state missions during the past year.
The convention seconded the vote of
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson eX-
pressed by DR.. Vann by rising.
Mr. Johnson expressed his apprecia-
tion of the confidence of the cOnven-
ton and then spoke Of the work Of
state missions. The other speakers
on this subject We're Rev. BraxtOn
Craig and Rev. w f. Bradshaw, the
missionaries who operated their work
under the directions of state Missions
and Rev. G. r. Durham who spoke of
special work among the colored peo-
pie.
The next report considered was that
On foreign missions, which was read
by Rev. E. E. BOmar, chairman. This
was report of special interest and
showed very rapid advancement in the
work of foreign missions during the
past ten years especially. During the
past year $4,000 was contributed for
foreign missions by the convention,
and the report submitted today recon-
mended that at least $4,000 be con-
tributed to this cause next year.
Rev. S. J. Porter, a member Of the
foreign board addressed the conven-
tion on this great interest He is
a North Carolinian and his presence
in the convention is giving pleasure
to many friends. He spent several
years as missionary in the foreign
field, and is in close touch with the
work
In his address he pleaded with his
hearers to believe always in the doc
trine Of the atonemert of Christ, and
to believe also in the doctrine of his
enthronement. He pleaded for the
recognition of Jesus as both saviour
and master, and for God to be given
a chance in the life, because, said he,
there is nothing like bringing up the
soul to say yes to Gods wifi.
Speaking of the lack Of men for the

field, DR.. Porter said that stilled no.

AFTERNOON SESSION
AT the afternoon session the first spe-

of the mission fields The labors OF
the boardstwo evangelists have been
crafty blessed of the Lord. They
have visited many points, holding sue
cessful meetings and Strengthening
the hands of the faithful missionaries
and pastors.
After these years of wonderful sue
cess, the state mission board has not
finished it's work, but is now we'll on
the field to do larger work than ever
before. The demand for enlargement
is increasing every day and becom-
ing more and more urgent. New towns
are springing up as if by magic and we
must plant mission churches in them
while they are in their infancy that
the church may grow up with the
towns.
Last year the board was authorized
to work on a basis of forty thousand
dollars. It is the opinion of your
committee that we ought to expend
not less than forty-five thousand dol
lars upon state missions during the
ensuing year.
Respectfully submitted,
&c. H. DURHAM, Com"
This report including the follow
ing recommendation of the board was
adopted:
We recommend:
First: That the board be given
discretion as to the amount to be ap-
propriated next year, provided the to-
tai appropriations shall not exceed
$4,000.
Second. That we change our COM
missions to the missionaries so that
the year will run from January first
to January first,
Third That we make an earnest
effort to collect our state mission funds
quarterly; and that the corresponding
secretary be instructed to make a
special appeal through The Recorder
and by letters, tracts, ETC., just before
the close of each quarter.
Fourth: That of the $4,000
sum of not exceeding $4,000 be set
apart as a loan fund for the purpose

that the point applying, can not posi-

provided,

made to a house of worship nutil the

Fifth: That instead of appointing as
sociationa1 missionaries, that is, a mis-
sionary to do evangelistic work in
one association, We group associations
that desire such work, into districts,
and appoint a missionary for each dis
trict, provided a certain part of his
salary be assumed by the field. These
will be expected to pre-
sent the objects of the convention to
the churches and urge the Importance

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

The New York World thinks the
democracy would stand a chance TO
elect n president next year If it should
change its issues. adopt a new plat
form, throw Mr.. Bryan overheard. and
nominate "a new. clean. strong man.
and also, as a further condition
II hard times continued, if large
numbers of men were out of employ
ment, IL public works and private en-
terprise were suspended and general
prosperity Were waning. If not gone.
As bearing on the question whether
prosperity is about to take its depar-
ture for the benefit of the democracy.
we note in the New York Times a ref
erence TO a sale of $1,000 tons of copper
for export, which at one operation ere
ates a foreign credit Of some $4,000. 900
in favor Of the United States. Men
tioning this as striking evidence that
the industrial forces of the country are
resuming their full strength, the Times
says:
Indeed, it is the most striking fea
ture of the present disturbances that
the general business of the country
has shown such decided firmness and
soundness. There has been distress for
money, for currency, which might in
great measure have been avoided with
a better system OF bank issues. but
there has been no collapse OF CONNER
cial and industrial credit, no consider
able sign of the extravagant extension
yious ''panics' SO much more difficult
TO deal with. And IL our banking sys-
tenn is defective as to its currency fea-
lures, il has shown some remarkable
strength and soundness in all other de-
partments. PROFESSIONALLY, as a whole.
it deserves the confidence placed in It
at home and abroad.
The democracy may emulate Arte-
mus Ward in the cheerfulness with
which that adaptable gentleman
changed his principles" but it cannot
confidently expect hard times to come
TO its rescue. The outlook, in fact, is
the other way. And so far as the pres
ent situation is concerned general bust
ness is better off when it outruns the
immediate supply OF money than when
1t shrinks below the capacity to keep
money in circulation. as was the case
in 1893. The recent prosperity panic"
was inconvenient. but IL was immensely
preferable to the other kind.

The enormous shortage in the ap-
pie crop promises to be larger than
was at first supposed and reports to
Chicago from the west and southwest
indicate total failures in many regions.
This means that the farmers of Maine
and Pennsylvania will reap a hand
some profit at the expense of their
less fortunate brothers in Michigan.
Missouri. Arkansas and other states.
The difference in conditions of fruit
growing in the east and the west was
never more, strikingly illustrated. The
orchards of New England are so small
and so scrupulously cared for that 1t
is not uncommon for the trees in the
names. Once the State Pathological
Society of Main sent representative
through the west to study conditions
there. When he reported to the soci-
| etv about the size of the orchards he
had seen-some of them containing as
many as twenty-five hundred acres
the eyes of the yankee farmers bulged.
But the climax came when he told Of
two counties he had been to in the
southwest. each of which contained
over 100000 trees. This was too
much for the backyard" orchardists
and hillside apple growers and the
meeting was adjourhed in profound ST.

FATHER IS A FRESHMAN.

Elmer Ellsworth Vannatta, "A years
of age, has entered the freshman class
of the State University of Missouri to
complete an education interrupted more
than twenty years ago. What makes
the case of particular interest is that
he has son who is a sophomore in
the same institution, and it is largely
due to the coaxing OF the young man.
press reports state, that the father was
induced to enter college again at this
late day. The senior Vannatta is en-
tering into the college spirit with en-
thusiasm and takes part in all the
class diversions. He lined up with the
freshmen in the class rush, and when
the scrimmage was over proudly waved
a good sized section of his sons shirt.
There have been other instances where
men Of middle age have entered college.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Terminal Charge Of Two Dollars Per
Car Held Unreasonable.

Washington, Dec IAN important
decision of the interstate commerce
commission was handed down by Com
missioner Prouty in the case of the
Cattle Raisers' Association of Texas
and the Chicago Livestock Exchange
against the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railway company and several
other important western and south
western lines.
The subject Of complaint was the
socalled terminal charge of 81 per car
imposed by the defendants for the
deliver of carloads of livestock at the
Union stockyards at Chicago. This
matter, in one form Or another, has
been before the commission for the
last ten years, and. has been the sub.
3ect of much discussion and report.
In the decision rendered ION the
facts disclosed by the recosd in the
case it is held that the Terminal
charge of 81 per car exacted by the
defendants for the delivery of live
stock at the Union stockyards in Chi
cago with respect to shipments from
points without the state of Illinois is
unjust and unreasonable and duly dis
criminatory, and that such charge
should not exceed 81 per car
1t further is held that decree of a
court Diminishing bill brought to en-.
force an order of the commission made
previous to the amendment of June 20,
1906, is not bar to the right of the
commission to examine with respect
to date subsequent to June 20 the
same rate involved in that proceed
ing
The defendants were ordered to put
in force before Feb. 1, 1908, termin-
al charge not exceeding 81 per car.
