REVIVAL SERVICES
CLOSE TONIGHT
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED
REV. [. C. BRAASCOMB OF BIRMINGHAM
HAS BEEN CONDUCTING SERVICES
TWICE DAILY At N. {. CHURCH

The protracted meeting at the
First M. +. church that has been
in progress for nearly two
weeks will close with this even
jng's service. Although this is
the busiest season of the year.
both in commercial and agri-
cultural way, great interest has
been manifested in each and
every service. 1t has been a
great treat to listen TO Rev. L.
c.. Branscomb of the First M. n.
church of Birmingham, preach
twice a day. His sermons have
been forceful and gave occasion
for deep thought. Rev. Brans-
comb is a man Of wonderful per-
sonality, filled with the love Of
God and he expounds the Script
ure with ease. as only those in
spired can do. 1t would be hard
to estimate the great good ac-
complished in so short a time.
There has been thirty accessions
to the church, besides members
and others have been made to
realize that they were in a luke
warm" state, and no doubt many
have recOnsecrated themselves
to God.
The singing so ably conducted
by Rev. r. p. Neblett with Mrs.
Peacher at the piano, was in
spring and altogether the First
M. E. church will be better and
stronger as the result Of the pro-
tracted. planned and carried to
success by the beloved pastor,

WHERE MEN GET SHORTER,

A singular result of the expert
ments of Dr. Angelo Mosso on the
physiological effects of high alti-
tudes is that a mountain ascent NAV
produce such a fiattening of the
lumbar curve that man may be an
inch and half shorter on the sum-
nit of Monte Rosa than when he
is in the valleys beneath. The
height of Monte Rosa, the second
loftiest peak of the Alps, is 1925
feet. The cause of the shortening is
partly the exertion of climbing. The
human stature always diminishes
during the day.

Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able weather conditions early in
the summer, the elimination
of the growing season has
been so highly favorable
that, taking our great crops
collectively, the harvests of 1910
will come very close to estab-
fishing a new high water mark.
if they do not in fact do so.
Every day that frost is delayed
bring the king of our crops
corn-nearer the three billion
bushel mark; and the danger
point SO far as frost is concerned
has already been passed in By
far the major partof the tremen-
dous area of our great corn belt.
In other words, whatever
damage may now be encountered
viii undoubtedly be local and
comparatively slight; and it is
not at this time, counting our
chickens before they are hatch
ed, to view briefly the benefits
that may be expected of a corn
harvest that for the first time in
the history of our country ex-
ceeds the three billion bushel
mark. Corn today is selling in
Chicago at more than 80 cents
per bushel, on which basis the
value of the crop in dollars and
cents is very close to 81, 500, 900,
000-an almost unthinkable sum,
exceeding the value of our wheat
and cotton crops combined.
This will give the west particu
larly a renewal of purchasing
power, affecting not only its
ability to take freely the pro-
duets of our factories, but will at
the same time mean a large traf-
fic for the railroads and extend
to ramifcations far too numer-
Gus to attempt to mention in de-
tail. Corn today enters SO large
ly into food for man and beast
that the Importance of a tremen-
dous production can scarcely be
overestimated. "

Joe Cooks Good Work.

The publishers of Peterman s
civil government agreed with the
Mississippi text book commission
to furnish free, with that text,
a supplement especially adapted
to Mississippi. This supplement-
was written by Mr.. Joe Cook.
superintendent of city schools,
Columbus. 1t has just reach
ed the depository and is now
ready for distribution.
1t deals with the subject in an
entirely new way-in line with
modern thought and according
to the basic ideas of modern
education. The author does not
attempt to make reference book
but something that is teachable.
He does not try to tell every
thing, but what he tells he ap-
plies to life and points the way
to better living. 1t is refreshing
to find that a branch of knowl-
edge can be SO taught as that the
objective point will be better
living instead of mastering mere
ly the contents of a book. The
author by suggestions and ques-
tions develops the subject from
unselfishness in the home.
through fairness in play on the
school ground, through duties
performed in school, through the
every day duties of men-such
as jury duty, voting, etc. to
that of the highest office in the
state. The code is the basis of
the work. The author tells how
and at what price the code may
be procured, and recommends
that a code be placed in every
school house. The price of the
code being only two dollars, we
think the recommendation that
it be placed in every school a
most excellent one. If the plan
of the book is followed and pu-
pills are made to think as is sug-
gested by the questions, it will
not only revolutionize the study
of civil government in our public
schools, but will be of immense
value in forming in our citizens
higher standards of civic righte-

ERAl MARKET OUTLOOK

The cotton market was again
active yesterday and closed at an
advance of about fifteen points,
which lately had become a daily
performance. Bullish estimates
of the crop are reported as the
cause; this together with the
readiness with which the early
receipts are being absorbed by
the ttade. December cotton now
is not far from IA cents and spots

SECOND ASSEMBLY
OF GRAND JURY
ORDERED BY COURT MONDAY
SEVERAL CRIMINAL CASES WERE LOOKED
INTO BY JURYMEA. EIGHT TRUE
BILLS WERE FOUND.

AS ordered by Judge Carroll,
the grand jury reassembled at
an early hour Tuesday morning.
This jury was finally discharged
last Saturday. brought together
again to look into crimes oc-
curing after they had
been released. In short time
after they came together eight
true bills were found. fhis pro-
ceedure is something new, as a
second assembly of the grand
jury after final discharge has
never occurred in this county.
Mr.. George Kirby who is in
business in Columbus was indict-
ed early Tuesday charged with
an attempt to shoot and kill his
wife. He was arraigned within
an hour thereafter. The case
was called and the state announc-
ed ready. The trial was to have
been brought up yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, in order to give
the defendant a chance to get
witnesses, and when the time
came the district attorney an
nounced not ready and asked a
continuance because he had
heard that insanity was going to
be brought up as a defense and
he wanted to investigate this
claim. The defense resisted but
the court granted continuance
until the 4th Monday in Novem-
Der, stating that while the No
vember session was a civil term
without a grand jury pending,
criminal cases could then be dis
posed of.
T. G.. Giglio, a white man
plead guilty to selling liquor, and
was fined $100 and cost with the
understanding that he had left
or was leaving Lowndes county.
Several other liquor cases against
this party were continued; the
court stating that it would de-
pend on the future conduct of
the defendantas to what should
be done with them.

cept $50 and cost was suspended
on his promise to return to his
former home in Alabama. A
number of citizens of Artesia
stated in his behalf that he was
penniless and that his friends
would pay his fine and help him
to move. The judge stated that
there were some pathetic cicum-

of these and the fact that he
