Your department has often helped
me, so come to you again. Our SUM-
day school class of about twenty girls,
from fifteen to eighteen years of age,
has pledged s35, to be paid by Christ
mas, for the hospital which is to be
built soon. Only two or three of the
girls are rich, our teacher is in poor
hearth, the scholars are not very en-
thusiastic and things seem to be in
deplorable condition. Please suggest
some idea to make money. We have
tried markets. but think they are
better for fall. Lawn parties have
been suggested, but do not seem suit
able. What do you think of a play?

Ever. recently employed at the Expo

pratives at that mill, sums up as fol-
lows his views of the South as COM
pared with the North:
81 have never seen cotton growing
like it does here, and l think it is
very pretty to see the negroes work
ing in the fields. The South is doing
a great deal better with her mills than
the North is doing just now. The
weavers and card room hands make
good nav. A weaver can make $12 per
week. The poorest weeks work in
Georgia for a good weaver is 81 to
S13. Good board is ob@ vi lie in the
mill districts for SO a week, with
room. The negroes are very badly
paid for work in connection with the
mills The best paying job for the
negro is farming or picking cotton.
THE cotton factory help here get a
five and six room house for so and 70
cents a week with large garden. The
people here are religious; they are
against swearing. and | find in the
mills generally they do not like TO
hear any one swear. 1t is different
from England. People can get mar

The preacher will come to the house
