FARM PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH
FINLEY'S ADVICE
TO COTTON GROWERS.
Urged to Increase Production to
Meet the Worlds Demands-Rail-
ways Keeping Pace.

SALISBURY, N c., November 1S.-
President Finley of the Southern railway,
addressing a large gathering of folk from
the countryside here. and later speaking
at a banauet of the board Of trade, ex-
pressed the conviction that in no area OF
equal extent In the world is the agricul-
tural outlook brighter than in the South
ern states. and urged the farmers not to
neglect the cultivat ton of cotton.

the not far distant future" said Mr.. Fin
ley, when the world will call on the

the increased attractions of farm lie

Railways Extending Lines.
In viewing the fgures," said Mr.. Fin
lev. lit is not to be wondered at that
those responsible for the management Of
the railways of the South, seeing the agri-
cultural advance going hand in hand with
the Industrial development, should have
faith in their territory and should be
striving to the utmost TO increase the car
rying capacity of their lines SO as to be
able to properly handle the increase in
traffic which is sure to come.
Mr.. Finley did not counsel the growing
of cotton to the neglect of other crops.
but suggested that an increase In produc-
ton is necessary to keep pace with the
demand of the world, and that II be ac-
complished by more intense cultivation
and by growing a variety Of other crops
with cotton, to the profit Of the farmer.

FRANCE AND CATHOLICISM
He Declares Republic Is Warning on
the Church.
EXPULSION OF THE ORDERS
Asserts That the Bishops Do Not
Enjoy the Liberty Granted by
Law to All Free Citizens.

ROME. November 1s.-Pope Plus. in an
address to the French pilgrims whom he
received today, declared that France was
making war against the church, with the
aim of undermining the basis of Chris
tianity. Catholicism, he declared, was
suffering persecution by the French gov
ernment under the pretext of the separa-
ton of state and church. This was
proved, he said, by the expulsion of the
orders. the trials and condemnations In
ficted upon Cardinal Andrieu and other
bishops and the threatened laws which
would extend Official protection to ire
Iigious teachers and bring about state
monopoly OF the schools. France, which
would make the state the arbiter in re-
Iigious matters, was at the same time
lighting the French bishops who were
faithful to the pontiff. These rlshops
were not allowed, the pope said, TO ENJOY
the liberty granted by French laws 10
all free citizens, but on the contrary,
were insuited, tried and condemned 1or
the sole reason that they were courage
ously fulfilling their apostollc uuty. All
this, the pope said, instead of depressing
must animate Catholics to defend their
religious rights. He closed by urging the
faithful to cling to the episcopacy.
Papal Words Interpreted.
The papal words are accepted here as
confirmation of the opinion that the Vati-
can believes the struggle organized by
the French government on the school
question is intended to be decisive bat
tie for the complete effacement of Chris
tianity as a factor in the rearing of chill
dren. or, in other words. the suppression
of Christianity in the France Of tomor-
row 1t is asserted that the Vatican Is
ready to tight on two questions, namely,
the denial of legal acknowledgment OF the
Catholic hierarchy and scholastic instruc-
ton.
The Religious War in France.
PARIS, November 1S.-Mothers OF the
Catholic pupils at the young girls school
at Chassigny ySous-Dun, in Saone-et-
Loire. today made public bonfire of the
interdicted text books used by their
daughters. At other places in that COM
mune Catholic girls withdrew from the
schools.
AT Bayonne, where the priests have re-
fused absolution TO children attending
the public schools in defiance of the
clergy's warning, the parents have re-
taliated by refusing to contribute TO the
support of the church.
