NEED FOR HOME MISSIONS
The Great Majority in This Country
Are Outside of the Pale
of the Churches.

Rev. c. M. Boswell of Philadelphia
says of the neglect of church-going
in the United States:
"The United States is classed as a
Protestant country. Yet the MAORI
ty do not raise a finger to help the
church, still less worship in it. They
are too Indifferent to the call of sal
walton to care whether the church
lives or dies.
Looking down the line we find
that 6S,000,OOO people are outside of
Protestant evangelical churches.
From this must be deducted $4,000
600 Catholics; Episcopalians and 9th
er Protestant denominations 6,O0O,-
600; Jews, 100000 There are
20,000,000 in orthodox or evangelical
Protestant bodies. So that there are
some 100000 who are unattached
to any church, and who are the hard
est people to get into the church.
We ask the immigrants who come
to US from Europe to identify them
selves with the church, and when
they look around and find so many of
the natives not bothering their heads
about it they fall into the habit of
staying away from church. This in
difference of the natives is a difficult
thing We have to contend with.
America needs enlightened Teli-
giOn as much as Darkest Africa. The
condition of our cities is appalling.
Just think of it in San Francisco
only one in every SO persons is in a
Protestant church; and San Francis
co is called a Protestant city. In
New York only one in 10 is found a
Protestant worshiper. And down the
list you will find this lamentable
state of affairs existing. Pleasure
has taken the place of piety; and
wOrldliness that Of spirituality. If
christian countries would live up to
the gospel of Christ the conversion
of heather lands would go on very
much faster than it has. Money and
riotous living are doing more to in
jure the christian religion in foreign
fields than all other causes combined.
1t is a shame; and it ought to stop.

CONGRESSIONAL GYMNASIUM
STATESMEN ARE NOT
GETTING ENOUGH EXERCISE.
Grating Doesn't Give Them Enough
Action. Arms and Legs Need to
Be Exercised as Well as Jaws.

Be Exercised as Well as Jaws.
Our congressman are good to
themselves. They ought to be, be-
cause they know they deserve it.
They are just about the IikeIiest
broths of b'hoys in the country, and
they are aware of it. Self-apprecia-
ton is a virtue. The congressman
are virtuous. They vote themselves
increased salaries, clerk hire, sta
tlonery accounts, mileage, free seeds,
postal franks, a three-million-dollar
office building with baths and con-
veniences, and SO on. The congress
man proceeds upon the theory that
the laborer is worthy of his hire.
and that his hire is all that he can
get out of it. And he votes the nav
himself.
The point is now being made that
our congressman are not getting
enough exercise. Mere reading and
writing and Grating doesn't give
them sufficient action. They are
finding that the arms and legs as
well as the jaws require to be wagged
occasionally. That has moved Rep
resentative Sherley of Kentucky to
propose that congressional gymna-
SUM be established in the basement
of the new house office building.
There is a plenty of room there for
a gymnasium or anything else. There
is so much waste room in this house
office building that the members are
ashamed to look it in the face. The
only excuse for the building. in the
first place, was that Uncle Sam could
be tapped for the money, and the
congressman were not averse to more
luxury as the servants of the people.
Isn't it odd how the servants of the
people run to luxury when they once
get in?
Now the congressman want a gyr1-
nasium. They ought to have il.
They need something to keep them
pussy and from taking on too much
rat. Representative Sherley thinks
that the members ought to be willing
to put up SIS each for the equipment
or the gymnasium. That proposition
is novelty. Why not put the cost
or the equipment in the sundry civil
Dill? That bill has many time car
rled items far more open to criticism.
The gymnasium idea, we take it, is
not open to criticism at ALL Give
the congressman something to do.
Let them stretch their muscles. Pro-
vide them with five-ounce boxing
gloves and hire John L. Sullivan to
teach them the gentle art of punch
ing each others heads. Get Frank
Gotch and the Terrible Turk to
coach them in wrestling. Let them
form baseball club and a football
club and racquet club. Almost
anything that will keep them out of
the house is good and should be fos-
tered.-Savannah News.

UTE HENS MADE PINK.
Red Yolk and White Al

HSS~ heu 4olk and White AL
bumen May Be Sent Out.
How to change the color of a pure
white hen to pink, and how pink,
red or other colored eggs may be
produced was one of the demonstra-
lions recently successfully carried
out at the state college of agricul-
ture at Ithaca, n. Y.
Experiments of feeding hens with
rhodameride dye proved successful.
This dye was given during the moult-
ing season, and her feathers gradual
ly changed from white to a delicate
pink. The same coloring was marked
IN the albumen of her eggs. By the
use of Soudan III dye cOncentric rings
OF red appeared in the yolk of the
eggs, which also were made entirely
red, and the demonstrators said that
1t would be possible to produce 9TH
er cOlOrs.
The authorities of the college are
considering turning out eggs with the
yolk red and the albumen white, the
colors of Cornell university, and US
ing them to advertise the state col
lege Of agriculture.

Mass Meeting Held at Which Prizes
Were Offered, and Free Seed
Pledged to Plant 800 Acres.

BRUNSWICK, Ga.-A mass meet
ing of the citizens of Glynn county
was held at the court house here
today, called to promote cotton
planting and farming in general, was
very enthusiastic and attended by
most of the farmers and business
men of the county.
Prof. R. J. H. DeLoach, professor
of cotton industry at the state col
lege of agriculture, made an instruct
I've address on the planting, cultiva-
ton and fertilization of cotton, COW
.ering every practical point from the
preparation of the ground to the har-
vesting Of the crop.
F. G. Eason, assistant drainage en-
gineer, United States department of
agriculture, addressed the cOnven-
ton along the lines of drainage.
He pointed out that some of the best
lands in the south are swamp lands
properly drained. He commented on
the fact that at present Georgia has
no drainage laws.
A resolution was adopted unani-
14ACuplJ VI S1IS tuG otudLOE anu repre-
sentative from this district and coun-
ty to obtain legislation providing for
the establishment of an experimental
cotton farm in this county.
A proposition to the farmers to in
stall gins for the ginning of sea is
land and short cotton, provided they
were assured that as much as 200
acres would be planted this year.
Pledges have already been made for
325 acres, and it is expected that
500 acres will be planted.
The Retail Merchants and Business
Mems Association and a great many
citizens have made donations amount
ing to about $3.50 for the purchase of
seed and the giving of prizes. The
committee has offered sufficient sea
island cotton seed to plant one acre
and a like amount of short cotton
seed for free distribution to all per-
sons who will make an experimental
planting.
The committee also has offered
prizes as follows: Sea island cot
ton, best yield on five acres, SIS;
second best yield on five acres, $40;
best yield on one acre, regardless of
acreage planted, $40; second best
yield on one acre regardless of acre
age, $25. Short cotton: Best yield
on five acres, $50; second best yield
on five acres, $40; best yield on one
acre, regardless of acreage, $40. A
special prize of S25 has been offered
for the best yield of sea island on
one acre on st. Simons Island, and a
special prize will be offered for the
first bale marketed.

each generous correspondent will re-
ceive attention, and l shall continue
to enjoy the honor and pleasure of
personally replying to the great num-
Der OF messages and letters with
which you have favored me.
For the emphatic vote of conf

district l am sincerely grateful. 1t
shall grieve me if there is a citizen
in the eighteen counties of the dis
trict who does not esteem me as his
immediate representative and per-
sOnal friend.
Command me for every proper con-
sideration or service that appertains
in any manner to the high Office
whereto you have called me. Sin

UNCLE HAS AWFUL THIRST
Liquors, Coffee, Tea and Other Drink
abIes Imported During 1909
Break Records.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-America
must be a thirsty nation, judging
from the imports OF drinkables as
set forth in a statement just issued
by the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
The United States drank the es-
sence of more than 1,000,00O,O0O
pounds of coffee in 1909, valued at
$50, 1000. That was a dollars
worth of coffee for every person in
the United States. Tea is not such
a fayorite. Only a little more than
100,000,000 pounds, valued at S16,-
100000, came in.
But in spirits, wines and malt liq-
uors the nation touches its highest
record for importation in 1909 and
consumed foreign products of that
kind to the value of more than $685.
100000, more than twice as much as
was imported in 1899.
South America supplied most of
the coffee, Asia most of the tea and
Europe most of the wines and liq-
uors. The United States is the
worlds largest coffee drinker, and
Great Britain is the worlds greatest
consumer of tea. Every person in
the United States used on the aver
age of eleven pounds of coffee during
1909, but the use of tea remained
about unchanged from the previous
year.

ANOTHER POSSIBLE PEST.
Warning Given Against the Startling,
Latest Bird Immigrant.


European startling, a genus Stur-
nus, has been imported and liberated
near New York lately, and may prove
as great a pest as the English spar
row."
This is sign well calculated to
make bird lovers stop and gasp. It
was lately put up at the New York
Geological Park, and has attracted
much attention. While the starting
enriches English literature it is
doubtful if the beautiful bird would
get on happily with our American
Dlrds, and there is much criticism of
the European residents here who
have recently liberated the fast null
tiplying birds in question.
The starting is abundant in most
parts Of Britain, and nowhere more
SO than in the Hebrides and Ork-
neys. To the Mediterranean basin it
goes in enormous numbers in cold
weather, and the folks along the
Florida keys and the coast of Mex
leo may expect to find this new conner
to the continent fitting in sight in
the early winter, when it has become
acclimated sufficiently to migrate.
The nearest they have ever come to
America before has been Greenland.
The starting is a beautiful bird,
smaller than some of the thrushes.
1t is brown, finely CLOSED with black.
with rich metallic purple and green
reflections, and with a buff-coIored
tip to each feather, giving the bird
a fine speckled appearance, particu-
larly on the breast and shoulders.

A Pittsburg dispatch says that in
spite of snow from one to three feet
in depth which covers the hills and
valleys of western Pennsylvania the
industrial district of Pittsburg has a
drouth which is interfering with
manufacturing to a great extent.
The coke belt is suffering perhaps
worst, and several thousand ovens
have been shut down. The Pittsburg
mill district is suffering badly from
low water in rivers from which their
supplies are drawn. In many cases
water has fallen below the intake
pipes through which water is taken
to the big mills and in other cases
water taken to the mills is so filed
with sediment and acids that it is
dangerous TO boilers.

CANCERS RAVAGES.

Disease Is Steadily Becoming More
Prevalent in Civilized Countries.
In 1850 nine persons out of every
100000 in the United States died of
cancer. Last year 43 persons out of
every 100000 died from the dread
disease. Cancer is steadily becom-
ing more prevalent in all civilized
countries. In New York state dur
ing 1909 13,948 persons died of tu-
berculosis, and 1904 of cancer. A
surprising fact is that cancer is more
prevalent in well-wooded, well-wa-
tered regions. 1t is more common
in rural districts than in cities.

PREVENT SELLING FUTURES
IN WASHINGTON
POINT TO SUCH A LAW.
Bill Expected to Be Introduced at
Early Day Will Have Backing of
Southern Congressman.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-All indica-
tions now point toward the favor
able report by the house committee
on agriculture of a bill prohibiting
speculation in cotton and wheat fu-
lures.
Chairman Scott of the committee
expressed the opinion today that
such bill would be reported to the
house within the next two weeks,
at the conclusion of the hearings now
in progress.
Members of the New York Cotton
Exchange have testified before the
committee to the effect that the ex-
change cannot live if speculation is
prohibited. A most vigorous fight is
being waged by the spectators, and
it is to be continued tomorrow when
George w. Neville, a member of the
exchange, will take the stand and
put into evidence the rules of the
body and other documents tending
to show that the transactions in fu-
lures are legitimate and are stimu-
lating to the cotton trade generally.
He will be followed by A. P. Marsh,
vice-president of the exchange.
Wheat Speculation.
On Friday the agricultural COM
mittee took up the question of wheat
speculation. Chairman Smith is au-
thority for the statement that a bill,
If reported, probably will deal a
death blow to trading in wheat fu-
lures as well as cotton.
1t is probable that the various
farmers unions will have other rep
resentatives on hand before the hear
ings are finished. The farmers are
in favor as they have been for sew
eral years, of the passage of legis-
lation wiping out the cotton specu-
lator They believe that it will mean
better prices for spots and a greater
showing for the little fellow"
When the bill reaches the house
it will have almost undivided sup
port from the southern members.
Representative from Texas, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Albania, Mississippi,
South Carolina and other cotton-pro-
ducing states have been in daily at
tendance upon the hearings, and, in
many instances, have taken hand
in cross-questioning the New York
Cotton Exchange men. The interest
felt was plainly displayed when Sen
ator Smith of South Carolina at one
of the sessions turned to the brokers
and, banging his fist upon the table,
said:
Speculation is taking the place of
legitimate dealing in cotton. We are
going to wipe it out, and SOON"
