 On Sunday morning at the Metho- dist Episcopal church a missionary sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Jerome Greer, from Matt. 2S-19, "Go ye therefore and teach all na- tions.n
 Christs command is the foundation of our interest in missions. We are coming to recognize more and more the need of missions in the world. Christs reasons for saying GO" were; First because of his great love. There are material benefits to the people who re- ceive the gospel Second, because of the spiritual benefits to those who re- ceive the message of love. There Is benefit to those who send the gospel.
 Rev. E. H. Smith Breaches.
 At the First Congregational church Sunday morning the sermon was preached by Rev. D. H. Smith of China, from Eze. 47-9: Everything shall live whither the river cometh." |"
 Mission work In China is today in the second generation of development" !" he said. Tn the old days missionar- les did all the work Today the vreat burden of the work Is borne by the army of native workers. Native pas tors are over all the churches and many of them have made rapid prog ress towards self-support
 Tn the Foochow mission, for exam : pie, eighty-fOur churches are minis tered to by their own pastors; and they with their wives and children are establishing Christian homes and teaching schools and carrying on all the machinery of the church. The 5000 Christians last year gave for their own work. church. and school, over $2,O00, more than months salary per member.
 It requires fifty dollars a year to open a new chapel and support a preacher there with his family until they can bring the church to self-sup- port; then new centers of work are be- gun farther on.
 There is no possibility of retrench- ment. Everything in the empire is moving forward to a new day, and the church must siege the present oppor- tunity Or lose its place in the great em- pire of the future that Is rising on the eastern shore of the Pacific

BUY COTTON GOODS.
Mr.. ID. "A. TOmpl<ins Shows How Far
mers May Help the Cause.

Ole of the leading cotton manufac
turers of the South, Mr.. d. A. Tomp-
kins. In a published interview, pre-
sents this view:
1.-The best way for the farmer to
hold the present price of cotton would
be for him to go to his home town
and buy his supply of cotton goods
for the year."
The idea seems to be that the big
jobbers are acting on the theory that
the farmers will not hold their re-
naming cotton now, and that throw
ing 1t on the market will depress the
price, and consequently lower the
price Of goods the mills resort to run
ming on short time. to prevent over
stocking Of goods, and this has a de-
pressing effect on the price Of cotton.
II the farmers of the South and the
people generally should now turn in
and buy the cotton goods they need,
1t would create activity in the cotton
goods market. The retail merchants
would be compelled to place orders
with the jobbers, the jobbers would
make demands on the mills, the mill
stocks would be reduced and the
mills would run on full time. the de-
mand for raw cotton would increase
and the price would advance rather
than come down.

JOHN LAURENS, PATRIOT
Plan to Honor His Memory Taking
Shape.
Editor of The Daily Item:

Editor of The Daily Item:
We have received a letter from the
Secretary of the Yorktown Historical
Society in the following words: "JiaNe
read with interest yTur recent article
in Charleston Courier in re John
IIaurens. / agree with you. Come
with us and We will honor his mem
ory, as it should be-"
This came in response to an appeal
from the two Literary Societies of the
Gen. Sumter Memorial Academy, for
proper recognition of the services of
John Laurens, as an American pa
triot-especially in connection with
the victory at Yorktown of the allied
forces of France and America over
the British. Therefore, it is most en-
couraging to have the Yorktown His
torical Society to come so cordially
and promptly to our support. In
fact 1T seems to assure success to a
long cherished purpose, and earnest
hope Of a few devoted admirers of
this superb American hero.
Now, to use slang phrase of the
day, lit is up to- the people Of South
Carolina to show their appreciation
of this brilliant and consecrated rep
resentative of the States patriotism
In the great struggle for American
independence.
We make no question that the peo-
pie Of the State now will do their
whole duty in this important matter
and If we may be allowed to suggest,
let us say that the next celebration
of Washington's birthday be charac-
terized by the prominence given to
John Laurens, who, indeed, was
Washington's beloved and loving
friend.
The Gen. Sumter Memorial Acad-
emy calls earnestly upon all of the
educational institutions Of the State
to enlist with 1t in this glorious work.
