How Moody Got Out Of IL.


Many were the interesting expert
ences belonging to the first Mortified
conference called by D. L. Moody. One
especially showed Mr. Moody himself
In his varying phases 1t was the con-
versation hour at noon, and about 100
men were sitting under the tent on
Round Top.
Mr.. Moody, leaning sturdily against
the tent pole. led the meeting. Sudden
ly there came from him the plump
question. Brethren, how many of you
have so grown in grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?''
Many hands went up, Quick as a
dash, but neither sharply nor insult
lngly. Mr.. Moody turned to a young
minister and said:
Brother. you nave spoken thirteen
times In twelve days here and perhaps
shut out twelve other good men from
speaking
1t was true. The young man had
been presuming and oficious. He had
held up his hand, but he could not
bear to be chidden, and now he stoutly
defended himself, only making mat
tiers worse. Then another minister
broke forth and berated Mr.. Moody for
his bluntness. The latter blushed, but
listened until the reproof was done.
Then he suggestively covered his face
and spoke through his fingers, "Breth-
rem. | admit the fault my friend
charges me with; but, brethren, / did
not hold up my handv

Song Of tho Ancient Spinning Reel.
The first reel that was invented was
the hand reel. the yarn being wound
into skeins by turning the wheel and
fastening the skeins after counting a
sufficient number Of strands. The lax
was first woven into thread or yarn
on the spinning wheel; then the bob
bins full Of yarn were placed on the
hand reel and yarn wound on them on
to the wheels into skefns. The strands
were carefully counted and the lieben
fastened on them to keep them togeth-
err The lieben was thread running
across the skeins to keep them in
place.
A later invention was the clock reel
with face on which numbers were
printed. and it had two hands like q
clock. When the wheel was turned,
reeling off the strands from the bobbin.
the clock would tick when a certain
number OF strands were wound on the
reel. and the housewife. instead Of
tediously counting the threads, as on
the earlier invented reel. would fasten
on the lieben.
In a quaint old ballad entitled Mis-
tress Polly at the Reel occurs this re-
frain:
He kissed Mistress Polly AZ tho clock reel
licked.
the kissing being done at the propi-
tiouS moment when Mistress Polly
was busy fastening on the lieben.

But being Of a philosophical nature,
Mr.. Mary is content with the progress
and success be has achieved SO far,
and rests content in knowing that
fair treatment to the farmers he buys
cane from should bring him alI the
raw material he can handle in 1911.
Not planting any cane himself, and
thereby enabled to devote all the
more attention to his syrup factory,
Mr.. Mary this season is having bis
capable superintendent Of the plant,
Mr. Oscar Melancon, effect some i'm
portant improvements to the house,
putting in another three-roll mill and
engine, to obtain better e~xtractions,
one more 72"x18' tubular boiler (mak-
ing three such steamers in the plant,
and a Thornton derrick for cheaper
ing the handling Of the cane at the
carrier. The syrup storage tank
capacity is also increased. there now
being twenty such tanks holding III
the aggregate 10000 gallons; from
this storage, the syrup is either put
in barrels, or may be pumped into
tank cars, there being a connection
to the railway line by 1000 feet of
Pinch piping, through which the
syrup 10 pumped.
In keeping With the prices paid for
cane in St. Landry By the big mills
reaching into that territory, Mr..
Mary buys cane from the farmers
supplying bis factory IN the Soc. per
cent basis, and it is his desire to ulti-
mately have the cane growers about
him enlarge their areas SO that his
mill may By 1911 be called on to run
8 full sixty to seventy-dsy campaign.
The Modern Sugar Planter extends
congratulations to Mr.. Mary on the
progress already made with his cane
mill operation, and it seems safe to
predict that he can safely count on
continuing to broaden the scope Of
his factorys usefulness ID the future.
The example Of bis success should
serve as an inspiration to others in
the States new sugar parishes.
There is room q plenty for more
syrup plants; The more that come the
better for the sugar industry at large.

quire a special tax TO be imposed upon

Of six and one half millions. The

that the tax in the country parishes

city and country, on the basis Of
3-8 Of a mill in the country and 6-8
of a mill in the City.
Up to the time that four million
dollars shall be realized the City will
be paying a rate twice as high as the
country, but after the four millions
shall be collected the tax on country
property shall cease altogether, and
the remaining two and one half mil

Mr.. Pujo's friends-and We will
say right here, not Mr.. Pujo himself
are trying to manufacture political
capital by injecting the issue in the
Congressional campaign in this dis
trict that Governor Sanders is sup
porting Mr.. Bailey as against Mr..
Pujo.
Were it a fact, Mr.. Bailey would
be fortunate indeed in securing The
encouragement of the head Of Che
Democratic party of the State. 1t
would be a compliment to him.
But if the administration is with
Mr.. Bailey, the Puio adherents have
no ground TO complain, according to
an editorial appearing recently in the
Jennings Herald, published at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish.
If Jim Bailey has the administers
ton support-if he has, we say-it
is not because Mr.. Pujo did not seek
that support.
According to the editorial men
toned, Mr.. Pujo sought administra-
ton support, and was told by Gov.
Sanders that Che voters of the Seventh
Congressional District had to decide
this mstter-thst he vas not a resi-
dent Of the district.
Those, most of those, making this
kind Of a plea are original enemies
Of the administration, and just a
mere whisper that the administra-
ton is with Mr.. Bailey has stirred
their venom cell.
There is no reason for Mr.. Bailey
repudiating administration support, if
he has it. Such q popular admins
tration would be a valuable asset in
any campaign and to any man.
But Jim Bailey says he is running
on his own merits.
Gov. Sanders says this election Of
a Congressman for the Seventh Con,

the voters of the Seventh Congress.

But to the Herald editorial, charg-
ing that Mr.. Pujo sought administra-
ton support and was refused. Here
is the article:
I'VE have it from q very reliable
source that Mr.. Pujo was interested
in securing the influence of the
Governor in his behalf, so that he
made a trip to Baton Rouge TO see
that official in regard to the matter,
but was told by him that he was not
a resident of the district and did not
consider the race for congress a mat
ter in which he could take any part.
"Mr. Pujo is estopped from COM
planning, however, should the Gov
ernor try to assist either of the 9th
er candidates BY reason of the fact
that he invited him to take a hand.
1T is a very good idea for the
candidates to make this congressional
race on their merits and quit at
tempting to cloud the question of
fitness by Juggling in outside parties
and questions which have no bearing
on matters at issue.
We are Of the opinion that the
effort to make the Governor an issue
