 Slavery
Made Him BIiserabIe-Was Cured At His own Home And is Now
 Very Happy.

chas. B. James, Memphis, Tenn Dear Sir: When I began your Rome Treatment for Drug Addiction, I was one of the most miserable persons on earth. When under tn @ influence of the drug I was low-spirited, had no hope of the future, and felt myself an out cast. It was only few days after be- ed that the injurious effect of the drug was being overcome; consequently the miserable gloom that had overcast my life so long was rapidly being uplifted, and Q ray of hope was to be seen in the distance, and by following your rules and regulations in the use of your remedies. and taking proper care of disappeared, and I am today as happy as any one can be.
 Before taking treatment I was in the bed all the time; was no good to my self or my family; now I get up in the morning, enjoy my breakfast and my work. I thank God that I wrote you when I did. Don't worry about me ever using the drug again. feel as If there was not enough money in the world to cause me to ever take the vile stun again. Knowing that your remedies will give relief to any one who will be honest with himself. your treatment and his family, do not hesi- tate to say to you that if you think my letter will beneft one poor suffer- ing mortal and cause him to turn from his drug to your remidies and get re- lief you can use 1t. and should it he the means of causing some poor un fortunate to throw off his shakles ' win feel that I have at least done one poor soul and his family everlasting good.

CRoP LETTER.

Letter of Well Brothers Tells of Char
 .~fev of Cotton and Demand.
 The following letter of the well known cotton firm of Montgomery Is made public:
 Dear Sirs: .
 Tine weather during the last half or November was Ike that of the two months preceding. Not since lSs1 nave we had such a mild autumn. In that vsar7 we had Milling frost on the 3rd ~ Decenber. The difference between this year and he year 1897 is that the crop this season matured at much aariier date; Il was also picked ana Qinned very rapidly, and has been mar TatAd in ike manner; and while all the cities and towns hold good stocks, inc fields are clean and the gin houses had very little cotton stored, and gins are running tbout two days each week
 The dernard for cotton from Europe ha. been fairly good. but at lower hssis Deuaid from the American spin ysrs has be4n very sluggish, and cotton h.a heen hlrd to sell. At present the sa,,thern nArkets are higher than what the AmeriAn spinners desire to pay. conseouenfy there is not much cotton chan1inx hands, except for export sTbare is considerable cotton being shinned [ New York to be rendered on Decembs contracts, principally grades from god middling up, and quantity oy striaIlow middling, all of which can he shir5ed with a good profit and ten- 6ered h December New York.
 TheAolders of cotton are not hasten tne sses norrpressing their stuff upon the n4rket. They seem to be comfort abIv hntrenched, backed by Southern hanI But all this does not bring the denahd that is necessary to absorb the Yyelnt offerings at the prices at which theeotton Is for sale
 the meantime. the Southern busi- neb situation is steadily improving rre stocks of goods in the hands of tR retail merchants are comparative II small. Their sales are normal. with 1e exception of heavy winter goods. lhIch SO far have not moved freely Jon1e lines of cotton goods are reported adfgher and not obtainable for quick de- livery.

DEXTER AVENUE METHODIST
 LADIES ENTERTAIN.
was To Increase FeiIoyyship Bx Aeeuafntance And With Hap. py Speech Purpose Was
 Gained.


 upwards of seventy-five men. young ana old, were delightfully."- entertained oy the ladies of the Dexter Avenue Metnodlst Church last night at an ele. Sant luncheon. A salad course yvas served and the dinner was adorned with a number of speeches delivered at the board.
 The whole affair was one of the memories In the Dexter Avenue church. The. praises of those who nave most helped to make the church were sung, and general tributes were paid to Methodism by the. speakers The history was reviewed in brief of now in the comparatively short space or fifteen years the church has grown from nothing to membership. of about $50 / c. T. Ruff was toastmaster of the occasion. Those who responded to toasts were Rev 0. c. McGehee. pas tor of the Court Street Methodist Church. Rev. W. M. Cox, pastor of the Dexter Avenue Church; Rev. J. M. Greene of the Methodist Conference, w. F. Feagin, superintendent of the Dexter Avenue Methodist Sunday School and member of the Board of Stewards. c. c. Zirkle, of the Board of Stewards, NJ. M. Sweatt, also a member of the Hoard of Stewards, and Leon Mccord, head of the Baraca class of the Dexter Avenue Church
 The supper was given for the pur- pose of acquainting the large member ship of the church and for stimulat: ing interest in church work on the eve of new church year. It was cited with pride that during the pastorate of Rev. Cox the church debt has almost been lifted and at the same time the salary of the preacher had been rais- ed. Most of the speakers exhorted those present to do. all In their power to accomplish even greater things for the church In the ensuing year.
 At the conclusion of the toasts Mir. Ruff announced that the members had determined to give Rev. MT. Cox q token of the effectual fellowship of the past four years. Accordingly he handed to the pastor and his wife . beautiful gold-lined purse which was accepted in great gratitude by ythe pas tor. 's..
 The large gathering then was dis missed with the singing of the dox- ology and with benediction by pr. Me Gehee.

 Washington, Dec. lin decision rendered today by Commissioner Lane, of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion, in the case of T. M. Kehoe, and Company vs. the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway Company and others, it was declared that the Com mission would not impose on. carrier the duty of telegraphing to the con- signor in the event that the shipment is refused by the consignee '1f the latter cannot be found"
 The present practice. of the carriers in regard to this matter is held to he reasonably expeditions. The Commis. sion says that it Is not able to see why the carrier that has completed it's con- tracted carriage and has delivered the shipment to the consignee who has surrendered his bill of lading and ac- cepted shipment. should, as in this case. again accept, custody of and lia- bility for the shipment merely because the oonsignee alleges that the comfncd- ity is not of the grade agreed upon be- tween himself and his consignor. The complaint was dismissed.
