This meeting ended in that fierce and bloody battle of Mauvila, fought in Clarke County, on October IS. 154o.
 This event carries us far back into the colonial era of our country to the Jamestown or Plymouth Rock.

NoRTHFIELD CONFERENCE.
Bowdoin Committee Is Making Ar.
engagements for Attendance.

Brunswick, Me-, May 11.-(SpeciaD
Within the last week the Mortified

ton has brought out a small pam
phlet explaining the general purpose
and method of conducting the North
field Y. NJ. G. A. conference for the COL
lcSeS of Eastern America, including
Canada. The purpose of the conference,
to quote the pamphlet. primarily is to
make more influential in the lives of
the men who come, and through them
in the life of the colleges they repre-
sent, the highest-the Christian ideals
Of life" and, "secondarily, it's purpose
is intercollegiate fellowship. recrea-
ton and sport" The conference is
held on the campus of the Mortified
Seminary in the beautiful town of East

the larger halls. Every morning is
given to Bible study classes led by
competent leaders: every afternoon is
given TO tennis, baseball swimming,

Minimum Price of Cotton

The Farmers union expresses the belief that this years cotton crop will be 11,5O0,0O0 bales. The latest report of the federal department of agricul- tare points to crop of 13, 5000 bales. The difference of 2,OOO,OO0 bales is ,o be ascertained and adjusted by the re- ceipts as the season progresses. It may be late in the season indeed even in March-before the size of the crop is actually determined
 The Farmers union, sitting at Fort Worth, has named the minimum price of the crop in the next 30 days. This decision will be pretty far-reaching if it is to be obeyed by the 3,OOO,O0O mem- bers of the great organization. The chances are, however, that each mem- Der of the union will be governed by his needs and by his individual views of the market. The size of the crop and the nature of the demand for cot ton goods will go farther in determin- il the price of the raw material than resolutions adopted at Fort Worth.
 However, no harm will be done by declaring the farmers views on the seasons general price. Each farmer will continue to use his judgment as the season advances, and long before March the crop will be well out of the hands of producers, unless indeed the price should be showed down until it leaves no profit at all in the hands of the farmer.

Spellbinders in Trouble

The discovery that the powder trust, which Attorney General Bonaparte is engaged in prosecuting under the antitrust act, is the head of the repub- lican speaking bureau in addition to the holding down of a place on the executive committee of the republican national committee-this discovery and the publication of it are disconcerting the entire spellbinding fraternity. They do not think they should be sent out and manipulated by a trust. It would, in effect, put trust label on every one of them.
 But that is not the only grievance that the professional political spell binder has accumulated. He has ascer- tained that Chairman Hitchcock has decreed that he and his fellows are not to be paid. "No paid speakers" says Chairman Hitchcock, will be used Tn
 
 this campaign" Shades of Mark Hanna cannot be appealed to in this cam paign. Precedent has been abolished and the professional who is all lan- guage and boastfulness will have to instruct the people without money and without price. The flat has gone forth and it will not be recalled. The spell binder must take political promises as his pay, or else stay at home,' letting the country, of course, go to the dogs.
 This is important to the spellbinder only. for the glib talker notoriously makes no votes. He lacks the sheer itv that convinces, and in this cam paign no one seems to banker Tor speeches or red fire. We may nave reached point in these rural free oe- livery days when every man reads a newspaper which spellbinds him daily, or at least weekly.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
New Industries.

Notwithstanding industrial depression pervading the country as a result of last Oetober's panic," said a member of the Commercial club, "the Birmingham dis triet will have a very good record this year in the matter of new industries es- tablished. During the summer company organized for manufacturing paper boxes erected a factory in this city and began operations.
 "The Harbison Walker Refractories company, one of the richest concerns in the United States. with headquarters at Pittsburg, has acquired a site in Jefferson county and will erect a S250,000 plant for the manufacturing of fire brick and other refractory materials.
 "A large Iron and steel working plant is about to be established here, the cost of which will be fully S25o.0OO The details are practically completed and ground will be broken within the next few weeks. Other industries will doubtless be added to the valuable list Birmingham already has. but I happen to know about those I have mentioned.
 As rule capital for new enterprise waits on presidential election, and vast millions will be seeking investment in the Birmingham district soon after November. Next year promises to usher in another season of phenomenal prosperity. I look for all sorts of healthy activity in real estate, and in mercantile trade, as well as in mining and manufactures"

City Chain Gangs.

Tt would seem automatic that our church congregations should set high standard in community action" said an amateur social observer, ''as these con- gregations have a distinct ethical basis. Have they or have they not forgotten an important function when they consent to accept from the city authorities favors to which they have no legal or moral right! Have they or have they not established a precedent that is clearly pernicious when followed by the individual? When church congregation petitions through 1n- fiuential members for large force Of clty convicts to do work which the city of- ficials have no legal right and no moral right to do for private individuals or prl- vate corporations of individuals. then that congregation stands for illegal methods When that congregation consents for con- victs to do their work they have, by that much, given their approval to the system now in vogue in this city lhis system makes the police court money-maKer for the city. It puts shackles on eaeh nrisoner the day of incarceration and re- moves them only at the end of his term. Day and night must he work and sleep with these chains. This system hardehs the hearts of our children to the sight or chained, shackled citizens in the process of being converted from accidental ln'o hardened criminals, in the criminal uhl- versity or school conducted by the city for gain.
 Did this congregation mean to put the saal of its anproyal on such a system! Did it act advised!y when 1t peutloneo for favors which may not legaliy pc granted it?".
