REV. sHULLER QUITS CHARGE.
DeacOns in prize Fight Little Too
Much For Pastor.

The Rev. Allen c. ShuIler, pastor
of the Western Heights Baptist
Church in Atlanta, has resigned and
will accept a call to Newbern, N. c..
A week ago two deacons of his
church advertised that they would
put on prize fight in the pulpit of
the church before services. When
the time came they confessed that
they had made the announcement
merely to draw a crowd.
They drew the crowd, also the ire
of the pastor, who has taken this
means of showing his displeasure at
the methods of the deacons. He
maintains that not only was the prize
fight idea not in keeping with a
church, but that the fact that the
announcement was a fake was not
honest.

1910 GLOOMY FOR COTTON
TEXAS PAPER THINKS IT DNPOS-
SIBLE TO MAKE FULL CROP.
Wet Weather and the Weevil Will
Materially Interfere. The Mills
Are Not to Shut Down.

Are Not to Shut Down.
The situation in regard to the cot
ton crop shortage is rather gloomy
according to the view taken by the
Dallas, Texas, Cotton and Cotton Oil
News. That paper does not think
that there is any possibility of a big
crop of cotton being made during the
year 1910, and thinks that the price
of the feecy staple will continue way
up. The paper says:
Last December this paper made
an estimate of 9,956,000 of 1909
bales actual ginning, 500 pounds net
weight, exclusive of bagging and
ties. The census last Monday made
the number of bales ginned actual
growth of 1909 planting gross
weight, bagging and ties 10,048, 1874
bales. This abundantly sustains our
contention.
''The terrific drop of over three
million bales under the crop of 1908
is nothing short of a calamity and
the outlook for 1910 is anything
but encouraging. Elsewhere in this
paper we publish very able letter
from Mr.. Hugh F. McElroy of New
York, in which he very correctly
takes the position that it is hardly
probable that the belt can make as
much cotton under the most favora-
BILE circumstances as in 1908. The
drouth in Texas, the boil weeviI in
Louisiana and Mississippi and the ad-
vancing price of grain would indi-
cate an encroachment on the acre
age, with weather conditions that
would preclude the probability of a
bumper crop. Texas has not had
appreciate relief from the serious
drouth that is now threatening the
state with another short cotton crop.
I'VE regret exceedingly to see eff
forts made both at New York and
New Orleans to create a spurious
sentiment against further advance in
the price of cotton at this time.
This very clearly indicates to us that
there is large short interest in May
| both at New York and New Orleans.
| When a great deal of the May option
was sold short in January the mills
took the contracts, and when deliv-
| cry day comes will demand the cot
ton, and if the spot holders in the
south have as much sense as a run
away niger in pea time they will
/ let these shorts do a lot of frantic
bidding. Don't be deceived by stories
of mills shutting down, poor dry
goods demand, etc, nor of the pitt
full story of some Hottentot going
without his breech cloth, because the
average advance to each person in
the world who wears clothes is only
so cents on account of the high
priced cotton. Now, what mill is
going to shut down or who is going
naked for lack of the fifty cents.
THE cotton mills may stop, but the
human race mill is running day and
night, and the first and last thing
a human being needs in life is cotton
goods"

wreck between Bluffton and Fort

what error caused the wreck has not
been explained.
AT 1885 regular train, consisting
of one car, left Bluffton for Fort

a single motor car left Fort Wayne
for Bluffton, empty, to pick up load
of passengers to bring back to Fort
Wayne for the county fair. Near
Kingsland, eighteen miles south OF
Fort Wayne, the cars met.
Those who were in the accident can
tell little of what occurred. In the
extra car were no passengers. In the
regular local were probably fifty-five
or sixty people. OF these few es-
capped death or injury.
The spot where the cars came to-
gether was in the midst of a field. On
each side farmers were blowing The
