SOUTH'S COTTON CROP
WE RAISE SO PER CENT. OF
WORLDS PRODUCTION.
Supply for Mill Consumption Is 49,
$4,000 Bales-Texas Leads
All States.

hington.--According to recent
report of the Census Bureau, the United
States produced in 1908 two-thirds Of
the worlds factory supply of cotton. The
worlds production of cotton for mill
consumption in 1908 is estimated at 49,
$4,000 bales of 500 pounds net, COM
pared with 1852, 900 in 1907. The pro.
duction in the United States, using the
figures of the Census Bureau, expressed
in net weight bales, was 100000, and
represents SO per cent. of the total COM
mercial cotton produced. British India
which ranks second, produced 2,9l4,0O0
bales, or Is per cent. Most Of the re-
mainder is produced in China and Brazil,
while smaller quantities are contributed
by Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Persia and sew
eral other countries.
OF the total production in the United
States in 1908, 6,232, 1928 bales. or 49.5
per cent. came from the territory west
of the Mississippi river, while the States
east of the Mississippi contributed T.
355, l7S bales, or SAL per cent.
The 1908 cotton crop for the United
States represents an increase over lSV'
of 2,2l1.s45 bales, or l9.4 per cent. 1t
is the third largest crop ever produced,
being exceeded only by the crops of 1904
and 1906, and is 97s,751 bales larger
than the average crop of the last five
years.
In the State of Texas, the second larg-
est crop is reported, the figures for 1908
being 3,9l3,0S4 bales, which is exceeded
only by that of 1906. which was 36S,740
bales larger. In Texas there was re-
markable falling off in the cotton pro,
duction for 1907, the percentage being
44.9 per cent, as compared with 1906.
But this State increased its crop in
1908 by 65.s per cent. over 1907. Texas
alone produced 2s.s per cent. of the total
for the country for the period covered in

Heart Disease Brought About De-
mise of Venerable Man.

Boston, Mass.-The Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain Of the United
States senate, died at his home in Rox-
bury. DIR. Hale had been chaplain Of

was generally regarded as high tribute
to his accomplishments and intellectual
ability.
Since his appointment he was very
consistent attendant upon sessions Of
the senate, and his invocations at the
opening of each days proceedings were
SO marked by eloquence, keen appre-
citation of the events of the day, and q
warm sympathy with the sufferers Of
humanity at large that few of the sena-
tors. failed to be in their seats when
the gavel fell.

Legislative appropriation that the act
of the legislature attempting to make
such an appropriation limit the
amount Of the states funds which
may be applied to the purpose con-
templated by the act, las otherwise the
officials of the state would have no
means of determining the amount OF
tax to be Levied to meet the demands
of claimants, and the revenue OF the
state might be exhausted without the
legislature Intending to appropriate
them wholly to the subjects covered
by such acts.
offthe constitution (which reads: "All
other appropriations shall be made

one subject" is equivalent: to requir:
ing a. specific appropria ton for each

5. To constitute an appropriation
under the provisions Of the constl-
tuition of this state quoted in the
opinion, an act must set apart from
the public revenue a definite sum OF

a manner THAT the state officials are
authorized to use the amount SO set
apart, and no more, for the object.

salvation and reach that pure
consciousness, which Jesus call
ed the "kindgom of heaven"
Glory be to God, and peace
to the struggling hearts! Christ
hath rolled away the stone from
the door of human hope and
faith, and through the revelation
and demonstration of life in God,
hath elevated them to possible
at-one-ment with the spiritual
idea of men and his divine Prin-
ciple, Love, "(Science and Health
page As.
The stone of material sense
has been rolled away with the
possible at-one-ment with Truth
and Love has been demonstrated.
The truth about God and man
the universe has been revealed
to the human understanding, and
the healing Christ is at our door.
No longer need we be deceived
by physical sense testimony, for
the possibility of practically diff.
Terminating between what is
real and what is unreal has been
bestowed upon humanity. We
may know the truth of being!
No matter what our condition,
circumstance or situation, we
can prove what is true, and
escape deception.
y measure of this true under
standing has already been at
tanned, and by entering into the
closet and closing the door to
material sense. by thinking
rightly about God and his reilec,
ton, realizing the spiritual fact
and denying matter and all evil,
we can purify consciousness, OBJ
tain clearer and safer views, ex-
perlence greater freedom and
harmony, better health. improv-
ed morals and final overcoming
of all evil
Should we not pray earnestly
for this spiritual understanding?
Is there anything else worth
striving for: Will anything aid
us more effectively to work out
our salvation?
How glorious to know that we
do not have to remain under the
bondage of matter, That we can
experience the liberty of the
Sons Of God now, We know that
The Lord God omnipotent
reigneth, that He is good God,
a wise God, a loving God, a just
God we can all know and love
and obey.
In closing let me read to you
Mrs. Eddy'S scientific statement
of being, which epitomizes the
Science of Salvation:
There is no life, truth, intel.
ligence nor substance in matter.
All is infinite Mind and its in.
finite manifestation, for God is
All,in-alI. Spirit is immortal
Truth: matter is mortal error.
Spirit is God, and man is His

man is not material; he is spirit
