CHURCHES ARE GROWING.
Rate of Growth Exceeds Rate of Pop
ulatiOn Increase.

Washington. May 30.-Church
growth in the United States has been
greater than the increase in the pop
ulation between the years 1900 and
1906. according to the special census
report on the census of religious bod
les for 1906, now in press. In the
principal cities of the country the
growth both in number of religious
organizations and communicates was
greater In the years mentioned than
the increase in population, while in
the area outside the principal cities
the rate of increase in the number of
new churches established was approx
imately the same as the rate Of popu-
lation increase, although in the num-
ber Of communicates the increase in
area outside the cities, was in excess
of that in population.
Out Of every one thousand people
In the 160 principal cities of the coun-
try-that is. those which had a popu-
lation of more than 25,0O0-there
were 469 church members. while for
the area outside these cities there
were 391. AS compared with 1890
the report shows gain of 90 COM
municants in each 1000 and a gain
Of 81 outside of them.
Female members in 1906 outnum-
bered the male members by 32 per
cent. in continental United States,
while In the principal cities the ex-
cess Of female members was proper
tionately less, being 9GO,526 or %. )

ACREAGE AND CONDITION.
Cotton Estimates Compiled by New
York journal of Comempce.

New York, May 31.-In it's tomor-
rows issue the Journal of Commerce
gives its final estimates Of cotton acre
age, compiled from 1,S45 replies of
special correspondents of an average
date May %. These show an increase
Of 3.6 per cent over last year, repre-
senting an area planted Of 33,44S.Os0
acres, Virginia excluded. This is the
largest acreage on record, exceeding
slightly the year 1908.
AT the average date of these re-
ports percentage condition as 8O.2 as
compared with S2.1 last year, 79 in
1909, 60 in 1907, and S3.5, our nine
year average.
The acreage compared with last
year and the percentage condition by
States compared with previous years
follows:
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1910-06-04

The only States showing decrease
acreage are Mississippi and Louisiana,
which decrease is attributed to the
fear of the boil weevil, and a larger
acreage going to corn and small
grains, owing to the higher costs of
foodstuffs.
In nearly all States high prices of
foodstuffs caused farmers to diversity
crops to some extent, but the attrac-
tive price Of cotton has shown it's
counter effect in the above results.
Arkansas has partially recovered
from the boil weevil scare, and starts
the season with an increase Of 2.S per
cent. Important gains are shown in
Texas and Oklahoma, respectively,
5.3 per cent and 1913 per cent. Much
new land was thrown into cotton in
Oklahoma and to some extent in Tex

40 IN ALASKAN LOBBY.
AccuserS Review Records Of Five Al
legged Guggcnhcim Chiefs.

Washington, May 29.-In the start
ling brief filed before the subcommit-
tee of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, which is investigating charges
against the Alaska Syndicate. involv-
ing bribery, corruption and even
murder, a vivid pen picture of the
"Guggenheim lobby" at Washington is
drawn by the protestants, who are
trying to prevent the confirmation of
John Rustgard as United States Dis
trict Attorney and II. L. Faulkner as
United States Marshal, upon the
ground that they are "Guggenheim
tools" and will be subservient to the
interests Of the syndicate.
The hearing of this case, the de-
velopments in which have aroused in
tense interest will be renewed Tues
day. Pending the hearing the lead
ers on both sides are straining every
effort to strengthen their case and en-
list the influences that count. 1t ID
said here that the biggest expert lob
byists in the country have been en-
ployed by the Guggenheims to look
after their interests. One well-post-
ed man is authority for the statement
that there are in Washington today
not less than 40 persons directly or
indirectly in the employ of the Ai.s-
ka Syndicate, and that this pending
investigation represents only a small
portion Of the field they cover.
The brief and exhibits filed with
the committee single out few men,
whom it charges as being among the
"gentlemanly lobby from Alaska en-
ployed and allied with the Morgan
Guggenheim interests.
Here are some heretofore unpub-
lished extracts of the brief which is
nov before the subcommittee and
whioh is being jealousy guarded by
it to prevent publication. Five of the
men named in the brief and pictured
as Guggenheim lobbyists are L. P.

COTTON TARE CASE HEARD.
Decision Expected From Judge De-
Wore This Week.

Columbia, May 30.-Judge DeVore
has not rendered a decision yet in
the cotton tare case, which was argu-
ed before him this afternoon. 1t is
expected that the decision will be an
nounced in the next few days.
Under habeas corpus proceedings
attacked. IT is constitutional rights
and that 1t should not be enforced.
The Act requires that per cent. tare
be deducted from cotton bales instead
of 20 pounds, as was the case in this
State before the Act Of 1910 was pass
ed.
Cotton men are contending that the
Act violates trade customs, for in 9TH
er States the 20-pound deduction is
maintained. 1t Is also stated by them
that If the Act is declared constitu-
tional 1t would affect the price or .,t>
ton In this State. 1t is probable that
the case may go to the Supreme Court
later. Thurmond & Nicholson, of
Edgefield, and Solicitor Cobb, of this
city. appeared in behalf of the Farm
ers' Union, and Messrs. Lyles & Lyles
appeared for the defendant. w. G.

der arrest In this case.
Mr.. A. ]. A. Perrit, president of the
Farmers Union, came here to confer
about the matter today, as the Union
Is very much interested. Secretary
Reid. Of the Farmers Union, says in
connection with the case: 1.-THE Union
does not want pay for anything ex-
cept what the buyer gets, but under
the present plan II frequently occurs
that the buyer causes an arbitrary for
felt to himself of SO cents a bale on
cotton, because more than six yards
of bagging Is put on. The prevalent
opinion that the Union wishes to take
advantage of the buyer Is erroneous,
simply fairness is sought"

saying: THE value of pho2sants to

enormous numbers of injurious in
sects-upward of 1900 wire worms
have been taken out of the crop Of a
pheasant; if this number was con-
sumed in single meal the total de-
strOyed must he almost incredible.
There is no doubt that insects are
preferred to grain. One pheasant shot
at the close of the shooting season
had in his crop 1926 wire worms, one
| acorn, one snail, nine berries and
three grains of wheat. From the crop
of another pheasant were taken 44O
grubs Of the crane fly and the daddy
longlegs-these larvae are exceeding
ly destructive to luscious vegetables.
From the crop of another pheasant
48 snail shells were taken. Eight
young vipers, weighing about one
quarter of an ounce each, were taken
| from the crop of hen pheasant.
"An instance is reported in the Lon
don Field of a pheasant which when
found had swallowed about six inches
| of viper, while about eight inches
| of the tail part of the reptile was pro-
truding from the mouth of the bird;
both the bird and the viper were
dead.
Another instance is recorded of
pheasant which on being killed had
| not less than 1925 leather jackets,
most destructive larvae in it's CROP
The pheasant is also fond Of many
| of the wild weed seeds, such as le-
gumes, thistles, especially the burr
thistle; wild CARROTS, sunfiowers, wild
lettuce, mayweed, marsh elder and
mustard seeds.
The home of the Chinese ringneck
| is largely in the mountains, as we'll as
| in the valleys of China. 1t is accus-
| toned to very severe weather, as it
| inhabits the high attitudes and yet
| adapts itself to the lower attitudes as
| low as sea level. It is a thoroughbred
bird and has been imported into Eng
land in considerable numbers to breed
up the Enligsh pheasant. Chinese
ringneck pheasants liberated in the
mountains Of Colorado are doing we'll

AT the last annual meeting of the
New York Geological Society 100000
was appropriated for the study of
pneasants and the best methods for
the Introduction and distribution of
| these birds in the United States. In
number Of States the next legislatures
VIII be asked to pass appropriations
for propagating the pheasant and 9TH
er insectivorous and game birds.
Prof. Olin thinks that if every far
mer, land owner and bird lover in the
country would secure a setting Of
pheasant eggs and hatch them under
common hen and rear them like
young chickens, or buy a pair of the
birds, the problem Of how to destroy
insects would soon be solved.
