President Hightower, of the Miss
issippi Farmers Union, makes a sug-
gestion as 10 how the cotton market
might ne controlled and fair prices
realized for the present crop. He as
sumes that the retirement of one
million bales 77ould accomplish that
end, and submits for the considera-
ton OF the public, the following uni
que plan: That a committee Of i'm
telligent men, vested with power to
sell or 70 hold for an indefinite period,
be appointed as custodions of this
], ZOO, 600 bales, which is TO be stored
ia the various warehouses through
out the country. The accumulation
of the retired cotton is to be effected
by voluntary subscriptions of all in
terested in securing good prices, the
merchant, the banker, and the pro-
fessiOnRl man, as we'll as the farmer.
Mr.. Hightower believes such step
would command fair value for the re-
mainder of the crop and would place
no very considerable burden on any
one contributing to the plan.

For an all-sufficient reason why
they should not vote for Mr.. Taft
the Southerners do not have to go
further back into history than the
Crumpacker plank in Mr.. Taft
Ohio platform of last spring.
They hold that they have just as
good right to make an educational
qualification upon the right suf-
frage as Massachusetts has. and
they are neither so meek nor so
stupid as to vote for a candidate
who threatens to reduce their rep
resentation in Congress az A punish

CHURCH DEBT PAID
CIRCUMFERENCE HAD STOOD
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Belleville Avenue Congregational Cell
ebrates Cancellation of Old
Obligation.

Announcement was made to the members
OF the Belleville Avenue Congregational
Church. Belleville avenue, near Crittenden
street, last night that the Indebtedness that
had hung over the church for nearly a
quarter Of a century was at last wiped
out, and that the new year found the men,
bers worshiping in a church upon which
there was no encumbrance. DIR. William
Hayes Ward, who has been editor Of the
Independent for forty years, and who has
been connected with the church since it
was started, had the honor of making the
announcement for the Rev. Theodore Mer-
rill Shipherd. pastor of the church.
The present edi1ce was built twenty-four
years ago, and at the time of its construc-
ton a heavy debt was shouldered by the
congregation. In 1899 the debt was $4,000,
but in tina year the Congregational
Church Building Society offered to advance
$40, 900 to the church without interest if
the members of the church would pay back
to the society 81, 900 a year. The offer was
accepted.
At the beginning of the past year there
was still $500 on the church. In an
swer to an appeal, mad by Mr.. shipherd,
the pastor, pledges were given In excess
OF the amount requested, payable on or
before February 1, 1908. All of the pledges,
excepting S639, was paid in before the
close Of 1907, and thereby cleared the
church debt before the new year set in.
In making his announcement DIR. Ward
exhibited the check that freed the church
from its indebtedness.
The Rev. Mr.. Shipherd was called to
the Belleville Avenue Church four years
ago. When he entered upon his duties
the church still owed about $1,000, and he
rejoiced with the congregation yesterday
that their house of worship was at last
free of all encumbrance, and they would
hereafter be able to worship in their own
home, indeed.
To no one more than to Theodore Price
treasurer of the church, is credit due for
the accomplishment announced by DIR.
Ward. Mr.. Price has been untiring in his
efforts to raise the money necessary n
clear the church and he shouldered the
major portion of the responsibility of
securing subscriptions and pledges to thu
fund.
Mr.. Shipherd congratulated the congre-
cation upon its achievement and upon
their complete restoration of courage an
called pom all members to enter into
church work the coming year with re-
newed vigor and with a greater enthusi.
asm than ever before. He reminded then
of the fact that the long-standing burden
was eliminated by many small but regular
contributions instead of a few large ones,
and laid especial stress upon the value
and good of small giving.
There is still 1888 in pledges to be
turned over to the treasurer before the
first of next month. This money. when
paid in, will be used to make necessary
repairs on the church property.

A new lodge Of the Order Sons of st.
George is being organized through the
efforts Of William II. Hill, grand messen-
ger of the State. Already there are over
thirty names on the list. While the chief
requisite Of eligibility is either being an
Englishman or OF English parentage, yet
the members who will constitute the new
lodge will be largely young English-Amer-
leans. for it has been decided that men
whose grandparents were English are eligf-
BILE.
The choice of a name is now occupying
the attention of the new Members. 1t has
been customary for all lodges Of the order
to be named after some prominent English
man or place, but acting on he suggestion
Of Mr.. Hill the name of Valley Forge,
where the English met defeat, it is prob
able that the name of the new lodge will
be after the scene of W~ashington's great
winter encampment. A meeting viii soon
be held and permanent organization
effected.
All eligible young men DESTROYS of join
ing the new lodge may communicate with
