First congregational Church Has
Had Most Successful Year
In All Re
spects.
A HAPPY COINCIDENCE
Rev. Geo. c. Williams Birthday on
the Same Date as the Annual
Meeting Of the
Church.

The annual meeting OF the First
Congregational church was held last
evening and was more largely attend
ed than any OF the annual meetings
for the past few years.
The pastor Rev. Geo. G. Williams,
said q. the commencement Of the
meeting that he was glad to welcome
the members of the church and con.
gregation to celebration OF his
birthday. which happened to be upon
that day It was a happy fact that
now and then these dates conceded.
Five years ago the same event occur
red and he was then twenty-six. He
said he was twenty-eight now ana
they must understand that he could
not keep up with the years as we'll
as al American, owing to the fact
that he was born in a country where
they did not move as quickly. Added
to this there was the fact that they
were commencing their eighth year OF
service together and commencing
with good past, happy present,
and better future.
The past year was in many respects
the best in the history Of the church.
Twenty-Five members had been, added
to the roll, the church had raised
more money, the average congrega-
lions had been larger, and the spirit
better than during any year of his
pastorate. The amount given to mis-
sions had doubled during his pastor
ate, and last, but not least, they had
built and paid for one Of the finest
and best equipped houses Of worship
in the state.
The amount needed to complete
payment was $4,000. He then raised
$4,000 in less than five minutes and
said that in addition to doubling the
running expenses of the church and
the amount given to missions they
had raised over 100000 for the
building, which with the buildings in
their possession before the building
of the church gave them property
valued at over $55,00000.
Reports from the various societies
we're read all of them showing In
crease in every respect and telling of
a year of growth and satisfactory ef-
fort. The following officers were cleo
ted:
Clerk Mr.. H. NJ. Phillips.
Treasurer-Mr. j. L. Candy.
Trustee-Mr. C. F. Mcfarland.
Deacon-Mr. A. w. HUDSON.
Sunday school superintendent Mr..
G. F. Mcfarland.
The meeting was one Of the most
enthusiastic ever held in the history
of the church and the pastor and
people are to be congratulated on the
splendid progress that they have
made together.

UNITED STATES LOSES
POSITION IN COTTON
GOODS TRADE IN ASIA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The
United States has been losing its po-
sition in the cotton goods trade Of
Asia, especially in China. where 28
million dollars worth Of American
cloth was sold in 1905 and 80 million
dollars worth in 1906. These exports
to China had a value Of only $7,37l,-
95S in the fiscal year ended June 80,
1912. which further declined to $5,-
796,327 in the fiscal year ended June
so. 1918. This loss of trade has been
seriously felt by american cotton
manufacturers and exporters, and this
has led the Department Of Commerce
to undertake an investigation of the
underlying conditions. Commercial
Agent w. A. Graham Clark is now en-
route to China and Japan to study in
dustrial and commercial changes
which cause these declining sales
China is continuing its large purchase
of cotton goors, the imports last year
having exceeded 100 million dollars,
one-third of which came from Eng
land, which is apparently holding its
own in this trade. japanese mills
have been multiplying and obtaining a
strong hold in the cotton goods trade
of the Orient, where their sales last
year were nearly so million dollars.
One-third of the raw cotton spun in
Japan mills now comes from our
southern states which supplied them
with only 720 bales in 1894. while 4S0
thousand bales. worth 25 million dol
lars, were supplied in 1912. AS Orien-
tai people are now making for them
selves many of the plain fabrics,
which long formed such large pro-
portion of American exports to Asia,
the commercial agent will also en-
deavor to learn what new textile goods
We may successfully place on that
