his voice came echoing back from the

The solicitor turned from the ped

He is not ready yet" he said soft :

He walked to where the big steel
doors OF the hall stood ajar, the con-
tractor following.
In the vestibule he took two keys
from his pocket. The heavy doors
swung noiselessly across the entrance,
and Mr.. Speeding locked them.
through the vestibule and out into
the busy street the two men walked,
and the solicitor fastened behind him
the outer doors.
My client asks me to convey his

The builder rubbed his hands with
some satisfaction.
You have taken two days less than

Union-fully 80 per cent of her popu-
lation being engaged in farming or
allied pursuits.
The general census figures, statis-
tics issued for other states, show that
there has been no heavy increase in
rural population during the past 10
years; that the largest percentages of
growth have been in urban commune
ties.
Mississippi has no large cities to
help her out in this respect. There
is not a city in the commonwealth
showing $4,000 people. Nearly all of
the small cities, however have
shown splendid ratios of growth dur
ing the past ten years, Jackson being
notable instance, with an increase
of 172 per cent in population within
the past decade.
The states growth for the past 10
years, however, did not quite equal
that for the previous decade In 1890
the Federal census credited the state
with 1889, 900. From 1890 to 1900 the
population jumped to 1851 ,27O, an in
crease of 261,670.

Invariably the minister answers me
that he is too busy to give attention
to the matter. Do you see the point?
He is too busy with the ninety and
nine who are in the fold to give at
tention to the lost sheep out on the
bleak hillside. 1t seems to me that
the only way in which our churches
can engage effectively in social work
will be for them to take up such

States GROWTH

Census Figures When Analysed Show
That Mississippi Has Made
8 A Fair Advance.

Jackson, Dec. I'm common with
many other states of the Union, Mis-
sissippi is somewhat disappointed with
her census showing, as set forth in
the figures made public by Director
f. Dana Durand.
The Federal government credits the
Magnolia State with a population of
1.T97,114, as against 1851 ,270 in 1900,
an increase of 245,S44, or 1873 per
cent.
While many believed that the state
population would reach the two mil
lion mark on the 1910 remuneration,
a careful analysis of the figures shows
no cause for disappointment.
Especially is this true when the fact
is considered that Mississippi is pre-
eminently an agricultural state-more
SO, perhaps, than any state in the

of the splendid faculty, the $1,000
spent by DR.. l. w. Cooper, the president,
personally in improving the building.
The Port Gibson College report told
of the successful work of the past year
under President Hawkins and the
Training School report showed fine
progress, with an appeal for more
room.
A committee on public worship was
announced to consist of the presiding
elder, the local pastus and J. A. Nc

Rev. N. B. Harmon introduced a
resolution to do away with the Board
of Apportionment, but after a lengthy
