MEETING
LAYmEN's CONVENTION TO BE
HELD AT MEMPHIS FEB. 7-o.
Evangelization of the World in This
Generation-This Is the Only
Generation We Can Serve.

The Executive Committee of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement hereby is
sues an enthusiastic call to the men of
the territory adjacent to the city of
Memphis, Tenn, to meet in general on
vention in the city of Memphis, Feb.
10, 1910, for the purpose of considering
the significant signs of the times and to
adopt measures for a more earnest mis-
%sionary policy, and to assume our re-
sponsibility in the supreme task of max
ing Christ known to this generation.
The Movement a Modern Uprising.
The movement of which this organiza-
ton is to become q part is youthful in
years, but mighty in its scope and power.
Launched by a group of business men in
the city of New York about three years
ago, the movement has grown to large
and ever-increasing proportions. No eff
fort like it has been exhibited within the
history of the church during the last
century. Overspreading our own coun-
try in unparalleled success, with rapid
strides it has stepped across the border
into Canada and swept across the seas
into Great Britain, and the men of the
Christian void are banding together for
the conquest of Christ. God is calling
out the reserves, the men of the world,
for the conflict, and from every section
they are responding with IN enthusiasm
never equalled. They are spreading, ris-
ing up to do their part in the most gi-
gantic work God has committed to men.
The plan proposed in the general policy
of the movement is not untried. In the
Dominion of Canada a campaign extend
ing from ocean to ocean was conducted
last year, and a nation was stirred from
center to circumference. The testimony
of those who shared in this great enter
prise is most thrilling. So marked was
the achievements in this united advanced
movement, that a similar campaign was
proposed for the United States, extend

Ole DO Do

DIR. S. A. Knapp, of the agricultural
department at Washington, spoke to the
largest number of planters ever gathered
in the Washington county courthouse, it
being estimated that more than 100000
acres of land were represented in the
courtroom during the one hour and forty
five minutes the speech consumed. The
result of the address was plainly mani
tested throughout the gathering, as the
emphasis that DR.. Knapp placed on the
repeated statements that cotton can be
grown to a profit in spite of the boil
weevil, and that the weevil gave pros
perity to any section of the country
where farming was conducted according
to government system, brought rounds of
applause. Following the meeting, many
of the largest land owners in the delta
assured DIR. Knapp that they were pre-
pared now to make a winning fight,
should the weevil appear in the delta,
and plantation after plantation was of
fered for the free use of the department
demonstrators.

CAUCUS PLAYS WAITING GAME
Nomination Will Be Thrown Into Opel
Session.


Another couple of ballots in the sena
tOrial nominating caucus, without result
other than to indicate the hopeless
ness of the tangle i'll which the body Is
involved in this famous political game
was the program of Thursday after.
moons session of the democratic caucus
In fact, it begins to look very much
as if the members engaged in caucus
ing as party adherents will continue to
| play the waiting game until the legls
lature itself, in joint session, takes uF
the work. 1t is now believed that this
is part of the game that is being played
by some of the managers, with a view
to throwing the contest into the off
cial body, and so reach the coveted
open ballot" after all.
1t is quite significant that, notwith,
standing all the dark horse talk and
speculation, the animal has not showed
his nose as yet, the several men who

having failed to develop any following
or support as actual contendcrs.
Without incident or p~reliminaries OF
any kind, after the double roll call
Chairman Street gave the terse order
The tellers will prepare for the bal
lot and the game was on. There was
the same absence of enthusiasm noted
in the assembly, and, in fact, there was
a spirit of restIessness and nervous
languor prevalent, as though the major
ity were tired of their job and devoutly
wished that the thing was settled and
ont of the way. Even the motion to ad,

gree of force and spirit yesterday, was
adopted today with scarcely any opposi
ton.

Although it is we'll known that oysters
are planted. it seems funny that it is
the department of agriculture that is
to inspect all the oyster beds and the
stations from which the bivalves are
shipped. The yearly output of oysters
on the Atlantic coast Is valued at
nearly $50, 00O. 900. A very great part
of the trade being interstate, the traf-
fic becomes subject to federal regula-
ton and inspection. We may expect
to see the oyster swell with pride and
become more clearly than ever in his
person and surroundings as a special
ward of Uncle Sam.
