SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS FOR 1910.
The international Uniform Lessons
for 1910 Will all be in the Gospel of
Matthew, except the temperance and
certain holiday lessons Ernest Renan
pronounced the First Gospel "the
most important book of Christendom
the most important book which has
ever been written" A tax gatherer in
Glilee, with a seat in the custom
house at Capernaum, called by the
Master himself. Matthew became an
apostle, and by training "a ready
writer" fitted to be the author of
gospel narrative. To his country men
he commends Jesus the Nazarene as
the Messiah of their prophets and es.
pecially records the teachings of our
Lord. There will be great and ernest
study of the First Gospel, and we hope
great blessing as we are brought

inos and exchange your views on
farming. Those who have made sue
cess in certain lines should give their
fellow farmers the benefit Of their
experience.
Ny advice is make yourhog and hon.
my at home and let your cotton be to
a certain extent surplus. See how
much you can raise to the acre at
least cost. and not how much you can
work.
A liberal application Of fertilizer,
and more brain in your farm work,
is far cheaper than negro labor.

MILL MEN CONTRADICTED.
Stocks in New York Said to Be Only
Normal.-Spinners Stocks Ac-
tually Short.

Atlanta, Ga, OCTOBER S.-Henry S.
Reed, editor Of the Cotton Journal,
has issued a statement about the al
legged large stocks of that commodity
carried over and now ;held in reserve.
He says:
"Statements have been made rela-
tive to the enormous stocks Of cotton
carried over, etc. But the carry-over
as shown by the following figures for
September l, 1908, and September l.,
1909, was but normal.
"Spinners stocks in Great Britain
on September l, 1908, were 100000
bales as against 277,OOO bales on Sep
tember l, a year ago, Or an actual
shortage Of $4,000 bales this year as
compared with last.
"Spinners stocks on the continent
of Europe September l, 1909,aggre-
gated 1,324,O00 bales against 1,187,-
900 September one year ago. This is
an actual increase Of $4,000 bales,
making the increase in foreign stocks
September l, 1909, over September l,
1908. $4,000 bales or enough to run
the continental mills three days, or
enough to run English mills five days.
The English mills used $4,000 bales
per week during August, 1909, and
10000 bales during August, 1908. The
continental mills used 10000 bales
per week during August, 1909, and
1908. The total weekly consumption
abroad during August, 1909. was
100000 bales against $4,000 during
August 1908"

The weather is COOL dry and dusty
in this section and if it continues TOR
while longer this way the farmers
will get through gathering early this
wear. The cotton and the pea crops
are short. but corn that was planted
early and fertilized and worked prop
erlv is very good We would be glad
to see a nice rain now as 1t Is time
that we were beginning to SOW oats.
The present price of cotton and COT
ton seed is sufficient to put the farm

crop is very short. We think that the
most Of it is being sold as it IS
gathered.

cussion as to causes and effects, the
following resolution was passed:
"Resolved. That in view Of the dis
parity now existing between the
price Of cotton and cotton goods. we
resolve:
Il. That a committee of five be
appointed to formulate curtallment
agreement.
~. That we recommend to every
mill which is in position to do so to
sign this agreement and enter upon a
general curtailment until the price OF
goods becomes OIL parity with The
price Of cotton.'
To formulate this curtailment
agreement. the following named man
ufacturers were chosen: Messrs. D. A.
Tompkins of Charlotte; Lewis W..
Parker of Greenville, S. c.: ". A.
Erwin. Durham: E. A. Smyth, Green
