THE bishop of the District of Colum-
bia died recently, and the Episcopalians
of the District are having considerable
trouble in finding a satisfactory sue
cessor The salary was $4,000 a year
and a distinguished minister who was
elected to the place few days ago,
declined on the ground that the social,
Ministerial and other duties Of the po-
sition call for a much larger income
and he could not think of accepting it
for less than $4,000. After stating
these facts the Anderson Daily Mail re-
marks:
But the discussion over the salary Of
the Washington bishop has caused our
thoughts to turn to the country preach
ers. many of whom are struggling along
md trying to live and support families
IN less than $500 a year. Suppose all
the country preachers should strike for
higher salaries, and refuse to preach
any more sermons or perform marriage
ceremonies or visit the sick or bury
The dead until they got their demands.
We would think hard of them, no
doubt. And yet, at times, we think
they would be justified in striking and
we have felt disposed to urge them to
10 it.
Really pertinent, are these observa-
tions. There are very few preachers
in this country who are paid enough to
ensure much more than a comfortable
living. There are many who do not
get this. The Mail, We assume, is only
testing over the idea Of strike. The
Christian minister wouldn't strike If
he could and couldn't If he would.
However, much he may need dollars,
they are not what he is working for.
Ie does not even look upon the people
who pay him as his employers. If he
did he could be of but little value.
That he should think of quitting, there
fore, is inconceivable. He cannot quit.
But what about the salaries the minis
terS receive as the measure Of the ap-
preciation of those who get the benefit
Of their labor? And suppose the min
listers were actually forced to quit for
lack Of support who would be the most
serious losers, even in a pecuniary
way? Not the ministers, we are sure.
These also are matters that are de-
serving Of more consideration than
they receive on the part of the public.

FIRST A. r. PRESBYTERY.

The First Associate Reformed pres
bytery held it's regular fall meeting
with Gilead church in Mecklenbure
county n. c., this week, convening
Tuesday night and reaching a sine die
adjournment Wednesday afternoon.
The presbytery was called to order
by Rev r. G. Miller, d. D., the retiring
moderator; but the doctor being phys
ically unequal to the task, the duty OF
preaching the opening sermon was ably
performed by Rev. r. A. Lummus, the
pastor of Richburg and Edgmoor
churches.
Rev. A. T. Lindsay, president of Lin
wood college, was appointed assistant
to Rev. R. NJ. Stevenson, D. D., the
stated clerk, and except for the partial
airing of some rather sensational fric-
ton in the First church Of Charlotte,
the proceedings were along the usual
routine.
The exact nature of the Charlotte
trouble did not come out in open ses-
sion. 1t developed however that fric-
ton has been brewing for nearly a
year There is opposition to Rev. Will

COTTON WORLD LOOKING UP.-Great
Is the reaction in the New England
cotton mills from their recent state OF
idleness. Within the last three weeks
three coastwise steamships have car
ried more than 100000 bales Of cot
ton out of Savannah into Boston
Yesterday a high official of a coast
wise steamship line reported that the
buying of cotton in the New England
states within the last few weeks, judg-
ing from the shipments given to his
line, exceeds the orders for any SINH
lar period in several years. For
months as a result Of the financial
depression, in which thousands OF
mill hands in Massachusetts, and Sis
ter states were laid off, the drop In
the buying of cotton by the woolen
manufacturers was tremendous. The
reaction seems correspondingly large.
The steamers City of Macon, City of
Memphis, and City Of Columbus,
which the Savannah line has been
operating as freight and passenger
carriers into this port, were taken off
that service because of the cOtton-car-
rying orders. That, railroad business
is steadily increasing is indicated by
the number of idle freight cars in this
country and Canada. The Ameri-
can Railroad association reports the
number of idle cars on October l4th
as 115,O36. This means that 1876
idle cars were put in use in the pre-
ceding fortnight. The number OF
idle or surplus cars was larger on
April 29th, when there was a total OF
more than 413,00O. The number has
been decreasing steadily ever since

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following are yesterdays develop

as summarized in New York dispatch
Of last night.
The cotton market eased off today
under realizing but closed steady with
prices slightly up from the lowest at a
net decline Of to points. Sales were
estimated at 225,000 bales.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 3 to 5 points in response to
disappointing cables and rather better
weather than expected. 1t was esti-
mated that October notices for about
10000 bales were in circulation but in
stead of causing liquidation they were
followed by a demand from October
shorts which quickly rallied that posi-
ton to a shade over last nights prices
while later months steadied up also re-
covering all but a point or two of the
initial loss. Offerings became much
the market soon sagged off again
reaching a net loss of 9 to 10 points
during the afternoon. Trading was
quiet during the middle session, but
became very active in the last half
hour when there was a renewal of
bull support.
Receipts at the ports today 56,SS1
bales against 61,612 last week and H.
2S2 last year. For the week 100000
bales against 415,369 last week and
243,537 last year Today's receipts at
New Orleans 1888 bales against 49,
296 last year, and at Houston 1873
bales against 10,161 last year.

card announcing the bill of fare, opos

whole place was as attractive as one
could wish. There was no delay about
getting down to business. There was
quite a number Of people on hand with
orders in for the good things as rap
idly as they could be served, and also
many orders for suppers to be sent to
homes. The ladies were kept busy for
nearly three hours, during which prac-
tically all of their stock was disposed
of. All Of the patrons Of the supper
were delighted, and the gross proceeds
amounted to something over $50. So
successful was the entertainment that

There is a premium on excellence;

to the laws of this state, ballots con-
