With associates of pr. B. F. Yeakum head of the Pisgah movement holding daily meetings in the city and with a site offered and other arrangements made for the establishment of a Pisgah home in Birmingham, the efforts of the faith headers" are beginning to attract mo- tice.
 In this day of new thought" impos- ters and fakirs who work upon the eredulity of the ignorant for the sake of gain, it is a hard matter for any think like the Pisgah movement to gain recognition among the enlightened classes. In order to remove the first op- lection, then, it Is only fair to say that Dr. Yoakum and his associates are not fanatics, are not miracle workers and do not profess to be prophets or new faith and new era. They do claim that they are capable of and are doing work of great good for certain classes, that they can effect cures without drugs in cases where physicians have failed and that they are curing victims Of the drink and drug habits and inspiring them with a new will and a new outlook on life.
 Many who have attended for the mere purpose of observation, the meetings be- ing held at the New Fraternal hall, have doubtless come away with the impress sion that the system Is merely one or appealing to the emotions of susceptible people and stimulating their imagina- tion to an abnormal pitch.
 Physicians will pronounce 1t absurd to say that organic diseases of lifelong standing may be cured by any system of mental therapeutics, whether 1t be known as psychotherapy or faith cure. Physicians will not deny, however, that the mind, consciously and subconsciously, exerts powers of which the scientific world in just beginning to take serious notice
 Mental suggestion is of course the most probable explanation of the success of the Pisgah evangelists. Unlike the back CTS of the Emmanuel movement, how ever, the Pisgah people do not attempt to offer a psychcal or physical ex- planation of their work.
 "Call it hypnosis if you wil,'' says Evangelist Squire. We do not know by what direct agency our efforts are guided We do know that it is the power of God which enables us to perform such cures as we have been success ful in As regards the Pisgah home, our applied Christianity, entirely non-sec-

A NeWspader Advertisement
 Probably Saved His Life

In December, 1905, I suffered severe iy with pains in my kidneys and could not sleep nights on account Of back ache. I became run down, fell oil in weight and was at that point when 1 thought I would have to stop my work as saw filler at the Cedar Creek Saw Mill Go.
 l had used about everything and had called in my doctor but all to no avail After seeing your advertisement in the newspaper, I made up my mind to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root a last re- sort. After three months treatment passed a gravel stone and at the end of one years treatment, l was posi- lively cured of all kidney troubles. After taking the first bottle l could sleep at night.
 Now I am perfectly healthy and l honestly believe pr. rilmer's swamp Root to be thorough cure for kidney trouble.
 I will allow you to publish this where it may aid others who are suf- fering and in closing I wish to thank you for my present good health.
 Yours very truly

COTTON PASSES AQU|ET WEEK Difference Between Highest and Lowest Levels Was
 15 to 2 Points

New Orleans, March 25.-The cotton l market this week was quiet and prices fuctuated over a narrow range, the diff ferences between the highest and the low est levels being only 15 to 9 points. The high prices were made on Tuesday and the low on Thursday. At the highest the market was to points over last weeks close and at the lowest it was 12 to 15 points under that level. The net change for the week was a decline of 10 to 12 points.
 The chief features of the week were the census bureau reports, on ginning and supply and distribution and the weather Statistics were sensationally bullish, but the market actually declined on them.
 The census figures showing that the total amount of cotton ginned and to be ginned this season, including linters, was il, ,941, ,56S bales, caused no price movement, although 1t was slightly below what the concensus of opinion called for. The de- cline that followed the report, which was issued Monday morning, was caused by good rains in the cotton country over Sunday.
 
 from the census bureau was generally regarded as bullish, but had little infiu- ence fon prices. The fact that stocks at the end of February were over 100000 bales smaller than they were year ago on that date, was regarded as the most important point made in the statistics. The entire cotton country experienced good rains and reports from the early erln nnftf0n was reported in many localities in Texas and even in south Georgia. Planting progressed rapidly where 1t was not tn- terfered with by rains. From Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and sections in the Atlantics came many accounts of inten- tions to greatly increase acreage. In Tex as much new land is going into cotton this spring That bears did not follow up their advantage from these reports appeared to be due more to the over sold condition of the new crop months than anything else. Many commission houses preached caution in regard to the making commitments on the short side of the new crop.
 The weekly statistics were the most bullish on record for this week of the year. The into sight was extremely small, and the out-of-sight was extremely large, which resulted in a decrease in the visible supply of 2O3,966 bales, against decrease this week last year of only 27,- AT bales and decrease this week two years ago of 103, ,552. Long side gained nothing from these figures, although they checked fresh selling to some ex- tent.
 In the spot department prices lost 1-16c, middling closing at IA 9-16c, against 14ssc last week and IA 11-16c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to lsIo bales, against 2425 last week and AGO this week last year Sales to arrive amounted to 315o bales, against 2250 last week and 2O6O this week last year

THE "PISGAH' MOVEMENT
 FROM A LAY VIEWPOINT
BY EDWIN ToRGERsoN

| tarian and non-denominational We first care for the bodily comfort of the un- fortunates we administer to and later pay attention to their spiritual guidance In practically every ease we reclaim the drunkard and make of him useful citizen.
 | Unlike the Emmanuel movement, no scientific significance is attached by the Pisgah evangelists to their work. Elm manuel church, Boston, has corps or recognized physicians working in CO., operation, and all sufferers who appeal | for treatment must first undergo physical examination. If the ailment is found to be purely organic, the patient is not treated by the Emmanuel method of suggestion, but is referred to re- sponsible surgeon or physician. Only the nervous or so-called functional diseases are attempted In the Emmanuel faith euro.
 The Pisgah workers, on the other hand, cite cures of advanced cases even or tuberculosis at the Los Angeles home' not discounting the fact, however, that the atmosphere in that locality In pe-
  Oxnam himself says the was cured of tuberculosis by Dr. Yoakum when phys icians had despaired of saving his life. Following a few weeks of treatment, he declares, doctors examined him and stated there was not a germ in his sys- tenn.
 The work of the Pisgah evangelists is obviously a good one, and deserves the encouragement it has already received in Birmingham. The value of psy- chotherapy as a healing agency and its redoubled potency when coupled with re- ligon are favorite subjects with psychol- ogists. Today it is generally admitted by scientists that all fancied ailments are curable by suggestion, that nearly all functional disorders or nervous diseases can be successfully treated and that the cure of even organic diseases can be ma terially aided by the proper use of suggestion.
 Though they do not go into detail in explaining it, the Pisgah people offer all these advantages. In addition, they have a system in the Pisgah home at Los Angeles which is a renovater and re- former of petty criminals, a reclaimer oc drunkards and a refuge for the unfortu- nate "down-and-outs" of society. The establishment of such a home in Birm- ingham is beginning to seem very prob- able, and the general public will sooner or later realize the importance of the work.

 "Traveling from town to town throughout the country, and having to go into all kinds of badly heated stores and buildings, sometimes stand ing up for hours at a time while ply ing my trade as auctioneer, it is only natural that I had colds frequently; so when this would occur paid little at tention to it, until last December, when I contracted a severe case, which, through neglect on my part. settled on my lungs.

Washington, March 25.-(Special.)-- )--Tariff legislation was considered today at a meeting of the ways and means commit will be chairman. There is some differ enee of opinion among the members as to how far it should go in preparing pop gun tariff pills.
 Some of the members believe that the committee should confine it's activities to the reciprocity treaty and the woolen and cotton schedules, while the progressives are in favor of revising several of the schedules.
 The tariff discussion at this morning g meeting was entirely informal and no conclusion was reached. member of the committee stated that it would be many days before the committee came TO an agreement as to the limitation to be placed on its tariff revision programme.
 Senators and representatives interested in the dispensation of federal patronage are finding that more and more of the Presidents appointments under the vari-
 
 made along civil service lines.
 The fact is, the President has sent word down the line that collectors of customs, surveyors, appraisers and naval officers under the treasury must in the future qualify by business experience rather than political activity before they can expect to be favored by the executive. | This is in line with the Presidents pur- rose to extend the civil service as far as possible. He would prefer to have Con- gress place practically all the treasury officers under the civil service, but un- til this is done he will make all his ap- pointments in the customs department with little regard for politics.
 Secretary McVeigh is behind the Pres ident in this policy. He, too, wants to sec the treasury appointments made strictly upon merit sT.tf Active campaigns in the fight to defeat the election to the Senate of Senators Martin and Swanson of Virginia will be- gin next week when Representatives Jones and Glass go into the field.
 It was not thought for time that these two congressman would take the stump SC soon, but it has been agreed between them that the campaign should be launched without further delay. On We'd nesday night of next week Representative Jones will address mass meeting in Nor- folk. On the following Friday night Rep resentative Glass will address similar mass meeting in Richmond
 These are the two largest centers' ot population in the state. These will be the | ..-.-. be the bitterest senatorial campaign the old dominion has witnessed since the "Readjuster'' days. It will be the frs, state wide effort which has yet been made to destroy the Martin machine" as his | oppoilents call it.
