Rev. G. I. LuInpAin.
With Only One Mule

The Winston-Salem Journal of re-
cent date contained the following
leading editorial concerning a gen.
tleman we'll known to many of our
readers, and they will be pleased to
know that he is esteemed so highly
by the people he is now serving. The
Journal says
"Of the number of young ministers
in Winston Salem, Rev G. T. Lump
kin who last Sunday ended his Sec
ond year as pastor Of Brown Mem
orial church, is the best known. And
that is saying much for Mr.. Lump
kin, because the city is blessed in the
ability and power of its young div
ines. When Mr.. Lumpkin was elected
pastor Of the Brown Memorial Bap-
tist church two years ago, he assum-
ed a responsibility difficult for one
with three times his experience to
fill. He rose to every occasion He
proved the right man in the right
place.
During his pastorate the magnif-
cent testimonial of Winstom-S -Salem's
grand old preacher was finished.
This was accomplished in great part
through the resoucefulness of Mr..
Lumpkin. 1t was he who planned and
worked-and tits due much to his
earnestness of purpose, his tact. his
personality, his Christianity leader
ship that Winston-SaIem was quick
to respond to honor while yet serv-
ing the community one whose name
is revered and whose works are well
known.
''Mr. Lumpkin is in the hearts Of
his congregation and is loved by all
denominations. He has already shown
himself a power If he has done SO
we'll here in his short ministry, what
NAV one expect of him in the years
to come? The only fear that his con-
gregation and friends could possibly
have for him is that the flesh may
not be strong enough to support the
spirit. For Mr.. Lumpkin is hard
worker.
"In him the community has bright
and forceful preacher, an advisor
whose counsels are good and friend
who is earnest and true. In him the
community is rich.'

A National tuberculosis Sunday.

Announcement Of a national tuber-
culcsis Sunday to be held on April
Oath in 215,OOO churches Of the
United States has been made by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Following campaigns against con-
sumption that have been carried on
in the churches of hundreds of cities,
and sermons on tuberculosis that
have been preached before thous-
ands of congregations during the
past year, a movement has been
started to establish a permanent
tuberculosis Sunday, on which it is
hoped that every one Of the 33,O0O,-
900 church-goers in the United
States will hear the gospel Of health.
1t is planned to enlist the active CO.
operation of anti-tuberculosis organ
izations, labor unions, fraternal or
ganiZations, and other bodies, to-
gether with the churches in the
movement. The aid Of leading
churchmen in many of the principal
denominations has already been of
fered. All of the large interdenom-
national bodies, such as the Young
Mems Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, the Kings Daughters and Sons,
and the various young peoples So
cietles are also in sympathy with the
anti-tuberculosis campaign.
1t is planned that on April oath
tuberculosis sermons shall be preach
ed in all the churches Of the country.
Literature will be distributed to
members of the congregations, and
in every way an effort will be made
to teach that tuberculosis is dan
gerous disease and that it can be
prevented and cured.
Clergymen who desire to obtain
additional information in regard to
tuberculosis will be able to secure
literature from state and local anti
tuberculosis associations and boards
of health, as well as from the
National Association.

The Camden (Ala) Register gives
this sample of write-up of we'd
ding in the days of the sufragettes:
"The bride looked very well in a
travelling dress, but all eyes were
centered upon the groom. He wore a
dark suit that fitted his form perfect
iy and in his dainty gloved hands he
carried a small rose. The young peo-
pie will miss him now that he is mar
ried. He is loved by all for his many
accomplishments, his tender grace
and his winning ways. A crowd of
pretty men saw him off at the depot.

A Proclamation.

Whereas by the Act Of Congress
approved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census of the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the Is
of April, 1910; and whereas a correct
enumeration of the population every
ten years is required by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States for the
purpose of determining the repre-
sentation of the several States in the
House Of Representatives; and where
as it is of the utmost Importance to
the interests OF all the people Of the
United States that this census should
be complete and accurate report
Of the population and resources of
the country:
Now, therefore, |, WILLIAM How
ARD TAFT, President of the United
States OF America, do hereby declare
and make known that, under the act
aforesaid, it is the duty of every per-
son to answer all questions on the
census sche dulles applying to him
and the family to which he belongs,
and to the farm occupied by him or
his family, and that any adult refus-
ing to do so is subject to penalty
The sole purpose Of the census is
to secure general statistical informa-
ton regarding the population and re-
sources of the country, and replies
are required from individuals only
IN order to permit the compilation
Of such general statistics. The census
has nothing to do with taxation, with
army or jury service, with the COM
pulsion of school attendance, with
the regulation of immigration, Or
with the enforcement OF any nation
al, state, or local law or ordinance,
nor can any person be harmed in any
way by furnishing the information
required. There need be no fear that
any disclosure will be made regard
ing any individual person or his af-
fairs. For the due protection Of the
rights and interests Of the persons
furnishing information every en-
ployee of the Census Bureau is pro-
nibited, under heavy penalty, from
disclosing any information which
nay thus come to his knowledge.
I therefore earnestly urge upon
all persons to answer promptly, com
oletely, and accurately all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumerat-
ors or other employees Of the Census
Bureau, and thereby contribute their
share toward making this great and
necessary public undertaking a sue
cess.
In witness whereof, l have here
lnto set my hand and caused the
seal Of the United States to be afflx-
I'd.

How Much FertiiiZaf Should We Use?

Perhaps, on average lands, from
200 pounds to 400 pounds Of CONNER
cial fertilizers under corn, and from
400 to 600 pounds under cotton is the
safest for the general farmer, but
some find it profitable to use even
more. For special crops, yielding
large gross money returns per acre,
larger quantities are generally profit
able, in some instances as large as
from l 900 pounds to 5000 pounds
per acre; but these large quantities
should only be used when experience
or tests show that they pay.-Ral-

encouragement. Up to the present time, no newspaper in the state has commented on my candidacy other wise than favorably, and have the first favorable notice to see of my op- ponent, but I prize about anything else the many assurances of good will that I receive in this, my home county, where the people know that I will at- tempt to act in an honest and ef- ficient manner, under the domination of no person, in the interest of the people but fairly to the interests which the office to which I aspire most vitally effect.
 I do not believe that the railroad commission of the state of California, since It's formation in 1879, has been of enough value to the state of Cali fornia to pay for one years salary of one of the three commissioners. The only pledge make to the people is that if am selected to go upon this commission I will demonstrate that 1t can be of incalculable bene- fit to the state, as similar commis- sions have in Nevada, Wisconsin and several other states.
