In the past FIVE years the number of
missionaries sent oct by Protestant
churches in America has increased fif-
teen per cent. The British churches
have doubled this increase and the Pro
testants of Continental Europe show an
advance of twenty-five per cent. America
sends out over 6, 500 men and women to
bear witness to Christ in the uttermost
parts of the earth. Great Britain and
Ireland support over 5000 and Cont
mental Europe over 5000 missionaries.
India has 1850 missionaries from Amer
lea, nearly double that number from
England and 400 from Europe. Over
3. 600 missionaries are at work in Africa.
Still, the number of workers in the
missionary field seems small in proper
tion to the number of ministers in this
country, as there are no less than l41, coo
Protestant ministers here and only 6, OOO
American missionaries abroad. *

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

A novel bill is to be jointly introduced
in the legislatures of North Carolina
and Virginia, according to statement
made at Raleigh. N. c., taxing all per-
sons who buy liquor, requiring them to
have a license. The courts are to pass
on the fitness of applicants, not grant
ing them to persons who are known to
be drunkards.
A bill has recently been introduced in
Congress providing for an international
conference on the subject of temperance
in which all the nations represented at
The Hague shall be asked to participate.
1t is provided that this conference, in
which the United States shall have 100
delegates, shall be held in the United
States at some time between March
4th, 1909, and the like date 1910.
Another bill prohibits express compa-
MES from transporting liquors &C. o.
D." into prohibited territory.
DRINKING HABIT NEARLY ALWAYS
FORMED IN YOUTH
If there is one subject more than
another within the entire scope of the
liquor problem upon which all observ-
ers are in gratifying accord, it is in
regard to the dangers of allowing alco-
hol in any quantity to children and
adolescents. During youth the habits
of the body are formed, and the grow
ing organism has peculiar susceptibility
to narcotic poisons- DR.. Alexander
Lambert made study of a certain
number of alcohol cases in Bellevue
Hospital, with reference to the age at
which the use of the drug began. Here
are the rather startling and highly
suggestive facts:
''Of 259 instances where the age of
beginning to drink was known, four
began before 6 years of age; thirteen
between and II years; sixty between
IL and 16; one hundred and two between
16 and 81; seventy-one between 6 and
II years; sixty between 81 and 80 years,
eight only after 80 years of age. Thus,
nearly seven per cent began before
II years of age, or the seventh school
year; thirty per cent began before the
age of 16; and over o-thirds-that is,
sixty-eight per cent-began before 81
years of age. DIR. Henry Smith Will

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

VIM. F. Griffith has been appointed
postmaster at Emmerton, Richmond
county.
Little Lucille Bradley, daughter of
Rev. Geo. Y. Bradley. who fell from a
horse at her home in Tappahannock
some weeks ago and was badly hurt, is
rapidly improving.
William Alfred Poindexter, aged
eighty-one years, of Amelia county,
died Saturday morning at the home of
his sonyin-law, C. S. Thomasson, at
Emmerton, Richmond county.
The Rev. Wayland F.. Dunaway, d.
D.. Of upper Lancaster, was operated
on at the Memorial Hospital. Richmond,
Monday by DR.. Lewis C. Bosher.
Though the operation was delicate and
rather dangerous, it was entirely sue
cessful, and at last reports the patient
was doing excellently.
About FIVE o'clock Saturday morning
the well-house and contents of S. John
son, at Irvington. were destroyed by
fire, and but for the timely assistance
of neighbors his dwelling would I'M
doubtedly have burned also. Mr.. John
son was burning trash near the yard the
afternoon before and it is presumed
that spark blew under the house and
slowly burned all night. No insurance.

COM MUNioATIoN..

The removal of Mrs. F. C. Sadler as
postmistress from huntsville was in
iced an act ODE deplored, and the SYM
pathies of the people are evidently with
her. She was the most accommodating
little woman ever knew; was always
ready to assist the patrons of the office
in any way she could; was always pleas
ant and had smile and kind word for
old and young, white and colored, such
as made you feel comfortable in her
presence. She was conscientious and
upright, and no one should have dared
to doubt her honesty. But even our
noble General Lee was censured and
was finally defeated by "enemies. -
should as soon have dared to rob
them of their home as this little office,
| for these two, Mr.. and Mrs. Sadler, es-
tablished the Office here, worked ener-
getically for it, and even built the house
| for it. Mrs. Sadler has faithfully served
the people for seven years and il
! any body can give any just cause fol-
her rem oval, why hope they will pub
licly say so, not falsely though.
