MODERN CHRISTIANS CARE LESS
FOR HEAVEN.
Character and Service Mean More
Than Creed and Ceremony.

The best Christians today think less
OF getting to heaven than of estab-
fishing the kingdom of heaven on
earth. Creed and ceremony are less
valued than character and service.
The truest children of God are more
absorbed in doing the will Of their
Father than in telling Him, however
sincerely and fttingly, that they love
Him. Worship, indeed, must never,
can never die AS we'll attempt to
fill the ocean with a drop, as to satis-
fy the heart of man with anything
less than God. But If there be a real
lack Of piety and it's manifestation
publicly, this must not blind us to the
undoubted fact. we'll stated by that
Christian magistrate. Mayor Logan of
worcester. that there is more hon
esty, truth and charity, more real re-
ligious power. in the world today than
ever before, though it Is not all in
the church, and does not find express
sion In the ecclesiastical language of
the past. t."--Edward Tallmadge Root

MILL SHUTDOWN SERIOUS.
Step Amounts to Refusal OF the Mills
To Run at q Loss.

Columbia, Oct. 24.-The news that
series of cotton mills in Spartanburg
county have actually closed down is
OF serious import. It was expected
that there wo be more or less cur
tailment he cloth goods market
responded The cost of the raw cot
ton. 1t, however, appears that on
many classes Of goods, particularly
the heavier products, that the buyers
OF the cloth do not want to pay more
than they did when cotton was selling
for and 10 cents per pound. The
cotton mills naturally prefer to see
high price cotton, If they can get the
cloth goods market to respond to the
increase In cost. The buyers of cloth
have for years been accustomed to let
mills run at dead loss. always be-
lieving some mills would operate to
let them buy what was needed in
"hand-to-mouth" purchasing. The
trouble is with the cloth market.
1t may be noted that most of the
mills In the State, except in special
instances. are running five days in
the week. Saturday is a half holiday
with cotton mills, and in Columbia,
for instance the Parker mills are run
ming full time for five days and do not
run on Saturday.
The Arkwright Club, representing
New England spinners, has agreed on
this resolutions:
THAT it is the sense of the club
that the production of cotton goods
should be curtailed to an amount
equivalent to that of the 224 working
hours. between this time and August
next, and that, as part Of sucl. cur
tailment, the Massachusetts, mills
should go upon basis Of Sc hours
per 'week on November l."

Reports OF Loss Caused by Disease

alarm, In the Judgment of the cotton
experts Of the department of agricul-
ture. is manifested by cotton planters
over the ravages Of anthracnose, Re-
Gently 1t has been reported that the
disease Is costing the cotton growers
of two States in the cotton belt about
100000 a year.
This statement" said Prof. w. A.
Orton, pathologist of the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the Department of
Agriculture, "manifestly is impossible.
No such loss as that could occur in
any one State, or in any two States,
from anthracnose. In a sense, ii is a
sporadic disease, which is likely to
affect seriously limited territory, but
1t is quite unlikely that it could affect
any particular State to such an ex-
tent.
The disease Is prevalent in all cot
ton districts every season, but rarely
causes serious injury. In wet seasons
1T does cause losses here and there,
amounting sometimes to one-fourth or
even one-half Of the crop. The aggre-
gate loss, while large when the whole
country is considered, does not make
in any one year serious inroad on
the total crop.
"In Alabama, for instance, the loss
in particular fields may be one-half
of the crop; yet few miles away
there will be little, if any, evidence
Of it. The sections that suffer from
the losses usually are limited.
"Anthracnose appears on the bolls
as dark spots, which enlarge and be-
come somewhat sunken in the centres,
which are pink or reddish brown"
w. A. Gilbert, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry. is now in the South
making study Of anthracnose land
1t Is expected that he will make a
comprehensive report on the subject
within few weeks.

COMPLETES WITH CAROLYNAS.
Tobacco Industry Gaining Fast i'm Far
East-LabOr is Cheap There.

Columbia, Oct 22.-Tobacco sales
men who have recently been at head
quartes say the rapid and successful
development of the tobacco industry
in Africa promises formidable compe-
ton for the bright tobacco growers in
the Carolinas and Virginia. The
American Tobacco Company and the
Imperial Company have sent special
agents to Central Africa to analyze
THE situation. Reports from these
men say an ominous feature of the
African production is the fact that
most of the labor is cheap, being per-
formed by slaves. Labor cost is being
further reduced by the use of all
kinds of modern machinery, while
free native workmen are glad to get
as much as 81 per month wages. Land
is cheap.

OLD KENTUCKY no BE EDUCAT-
ED.
Club Women Have Led q Remarkable
Campaign to Reduce Illiteracy ir
the State.

"Kentucky's Fight for an Educa-
tion" Is dramatically described by Ma
bel Potter Daggett in The Delineator
for November.
The 1900 census for the United
States spread Kentucky's name in
print as 37th down the line in point Of
literacy. with a population of 262.954
over ten years Of age who could not
read or write, says Mrs. Daggett. The
people of the State found themselves
left at the post educationally, and by
rivals unknown to fame for either
blue grass or corn whiskey!
There were Kentucky gentlemen
who. having looked into one another's
eyes over those statistics of illiteracy,
just looked away again. 1t was an
unpleasant subject. No stranger in
the State dared mention it in CONVEX
satiOn, and no resident cared to.
There followed a long period Of ST.
lence about the matter. 1t was brok-
EN- at length at the meeting OF the
State Federation Of WOmen's Clubs.
They had appointed new commit
tee. a committee on education. The
first word was spoken by It's chairman.

that was sweeping and complete. What

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Favorable Developments Marked Dur.
Ing Past Week.

New York, Oct. 22.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Trade and indus
trial developments are largely favor
able. Continued cool weather fur
nishes a marked stimulus to demand
for heavy wearing apparel dry goods,
clothing and shoes, and also benefits
demand for hardware, groceries,
lumber and building materials at re-
tail In most markets. Demand for
coal has been perceptibly quickened
for steam sizes. The liquor trades
also display more life, which may be
variously attributed to weather in
f1uences or to renewal Of consump-
ton made possible by improved pay
roll in general industry.
Jobbing trade is good for the saa-
son. There is still evidence Of conser-
vatism, bred of higher prices asked
for cotton goods for distant delivery,
but the general tendency is still up
ward and staples products are selling
better at advanced prices.
In general industry the previous
full pace Is maintained. Iron and steel
easily lead with production records
for the season.
Business failures for the week end
Ing October 21, were 244, against 22O
last week. 231 in the like week Of
1908; 220 in 1907, 1874 in 1905, and
