What The Church Should Do.

That It is the mission Of the church
70 revolutionize the selfish conditions
of the present life, leaving heaven ana
hell TO take care of themselves, was the
substance Of a recent vigorous ADDRESS
nv the Rev. DR.. Charles P. Fagnani al
a mass meeting of laboring men. he
ia right. The church that has the en-
thusiasm Of Christ will seek to make
men feel and act like brothers In the
life that now is. 1t will make war up
ON all the conditions that enslaye ana
degrade men. 1t will preach gospei
for the body as well as for the soul
It will not rebuke, but encourage, the
noble unrest that leads laboring men
TO desire better wages, better homes
better opportunities for intellectual de-
yelopment, and it will teach culture
and wealth that increase OF power Is
increase Of responsibility. 1t is the
business Of the church to bring heaven
down to earth, instead OF postponlng
salvation to the future. The Christian
ity of Christ makes men realize "thal

OF TOBACCO
UP FOR HEARING

NORFOLK, VA, Nov. 14-(SpeciaD
Much interest centers in the case
Of the seizure by the Government of
8,750,000 cigarettes in transit from
the American Tobacco Company to
the British-American Tobacco Com
pany of Great Britain, which came
up for hearing yesterday in the United
States court. The case is a test one
and the seizure of the cigarettes mar
ked a new departure in the Govern
ment's methods of fighting the
trusts
The allegations of the Government
contain the charge that the British
American Tobacco Company was
created as an instrumentality for
the especial purpose of defeating and
violating the laws of the United States
and carrying into effect unlawful CON
tracts, agreements, combinations, and
conspiracies,' with the several Amer
lean Tobacco concerns, and that while
Its principal offices have been in
London, the chairman of the board
of managers, William H. Harris, is
an officer of the American Tobacco
Company, and has maintained it's
office in New York"

ing Friends.

The funeral services Of Mrs. w NJ.
Kidd, whose sad death occurred on
Monday at her home west of Ameri-

most impressive.
The death of Mrs. Kidd, owing to a
long illness of more than year, was
not unexpected She realized fully
her condition, and the fortitude with
which she bore her long suffering
evidences fully the true christian that
she was.
Through it all she never murmur-
ed, saying only to loving ones about
her: Gods will be done
Mrs. Kidd was long a member of
Plains Baptist church and lived
fully in the faith She is survived
by her husband, a son and three
daughters, who have the sympathy of
many friends in their bereavement.

a practical farmer. While 1t is not
stated in the dispatch, we venture
the assertion that he has laid by also
sufficient hay and corn to keep those
ten plows going throughout The sum-
mer months. We also venture that
there is no waste upon that farm; that
there is established there thorough,
practical system under which every
feature is co-ordinated, and that the
best results are attained at every point.
Now, if Mr.. Pierce had not raised
the hams, bacon, hay and corn, he
would simply have been another of
that vast majority of too improvident
farmers who persist year after year in
sending whatever profits may be de-
rived from their cotton out to the west
in exchange for those products with
out which the farm cannot exist.
Again, We ask for the several hun
dredth time, why do they do it? Why
send millions to the west for products
which can be better and more cheaply
made right here at home? Why not
put the money in the bank?
Mr. Pierce and many others like
him have demonstrated that with a
little energy, little business acumen,
qualities which every farmer may cul-
tivate and develop, this thing can be
done and it means money in the
pocket.
Again, fnally-for this time-why
not?

final result of the cotton crop now
sprouting. Will there be poured into
South Carolina next fall and winter
forty-fve million dollars or sixty-five
million dollars? What does the pos
sible margin of $20,000,000 mean to
this little state? Will the world pay to
the south $450,OOO,OOO or $3.50, 100000?
On the health of these little plants,
combined with the ability of the ma
tons of the earth to buy clothing next
winter and spring, hangs the question
whether this empire of the soIIh shall
receive $200,000,000 more or SO much
less. Two hundred million dollars of
additional profits; additional profits
four times greater than the bonded
debt of the cotton states! Whether
the balance of international trade is in
Americas favor, whether scores of
millions of gold will pour into this
country, or deplete our reserves and
create uneasiness in financial circles
by flowing away, is dependent upon
southern cotton-on the quantity pro-
duced and the worlds consumption.
Is it a wonder then that the health
of King Cotton, from his birth each
spring until his days are spent as ma
ture DEGREES, should be of greater mo-
ment to countless millions in every
quarter Of the globe than is the physi-
cal status of any group of the earth's
greatest potentates?
Cotton is growing, and millions pray
that the visitations of sunshine and
showers will be such as to make this
one of the south's years of plenty; the
more than seven years Of famine have
already been endured.

COTTON is GROWING.
(The Columbia State.)
Cotton is coming up.

This being spring-time and, so, cot
ton sprouting time, there is nothing
particularly significant in the fact that
just now from the rocky feet Of Cae-
sars Head to the salt-sprayed fields
Of Johns Island, from the southern
border of Virginia to the shores of the
Rio Grande, little two-leaved plants
are breaking out Of the ground, form
ing rows of green upon tops of the
beds" The land may be black, or
red, or white, or gray, or brown, but
everywhere the green Of the insignifi-
cant looking little cotton plant is now
the same.
1t is quite natural that cotton should
be coming up, yet the sprouting of no
other plants of no other crop in all the
world is of such wide interest From
this day until those plants are leaf
less and Drowned stalks, with the
emptied bolls shriveled by December's
frosts, their health and growth will be
chronicled not only in America, but in
the markets of Europe and Asia. The
cable companies will receive thousands
of dollars during the next five months
for carrying information to the Man.
chester spinners of the state of health
of our cotton. Before giving his orders
for cloth to be delivered next fall and
winter the merchant in Canton, on the
opposite side Of the globe, must know
the prospects of the American cotton
that is now breaking through the wet
or crusty earth. Before contracting
for the building Of new cotton mills,
the enterprising Japanese know
what is the promise Of the harvest
in the southern states. The paternal-
istic emperor of Germany seeks that
information at his breakfast table.
And when the distant world is so
concerned, what of the interest In the
south and here in South Carolina? No
person that plants an acre of cotton
or is in any manner in touch with the
business world Is untouched by the
prospects, or will be unaffected by the
