Bettes to Hold Revivals

beginning with this evening a series
of revival meetings will be held this
week at the Methodist church under
the leadership of Sam Bettes, the COW.
boy preacher. A meeting for the lab
boring men was held yesterday after
noon and an interesting discourse was
given by Mr.. Bettes.
Last evening, however, the crowd
that was in attendance taxed the ca.
paclty of the church and a meeting
full of life and addressed by the Rev.
Mr.. Bettes was held. The speaker took
as his text Matt, 24-37 "But as the days
OF Noah were, SO also shall the coming
OF the Son of Man be-" He spoke long
and convincingly on this subject, per-
traying the evils of the present day
and picturing the day of judgment and
the second coming of Christ.
The sermon was intensely interesting
and impressive and was followed by
several conversions, and the entire con.
gregatlon went forward to shake hands
with the speaker. After this vote
was taken, and IL was decided to hold
series of evangelistic meetings this
week. Mr.. Bettes is a speaker of great
power and unusually convincing. His
numbers in attendance have grown
steadily SINCE his coming to Lewiston,
and 1t is expected that a full church
will greet him each evening this week.
The subject he has selected for this
evening is, "The man who tried to run
away from God. d."-Lewiston Montana,

A recent article In the New York
Times had this to say about the
south's great staple:
War has demoraliaed the cotton In.
dustfy. yet without cotton not q mod.
ern gun could be fired. Cottcn Is the
basis OF high explOiyes and OF en3oke-
less powder, and the warship carries
relatively more cotton than was USED
by the ffigats of q century ago with
all Its sails. The Hottentot spreads q
elm OF cotton cloth aoross q few
poles to keep on. the snn's beat. The
arctic explorer pads his duck suit
with. cotton and finds itEHarmer' and
lighter than fur. ~ - 50
1t, Ia: evident, therefore, that cotton
touches all the world, end Its uses are
manifold. Celluloid, DOR instance. is
nothing but Gotten treated with acids.
Cotton even nas it's uses In the auto
mobile. Sone OF. tthose spft cushions

ton thu. looks like leather. Without
cntfnn there could be no great office
buildings, for firepruofing wnuld be
impracticabie. Besides. It would be
too expensive to get the cement to the
spot without the bags that consiine
1870 100000 yards or cotton cloth every
year. G.. 4. Revere. the cotton expert,
has drawn up some interesting figures
regarding the use Iof cotton, which are
drawn upon here. 80
In the last year q new high record
was established for the consumption
OF cotton by the world. the. total be-
ing more than 10000. 900 bales. The
ordinary citizen, thinks only. Of sheets
and pillow-cases and dress goods
when one speaks OF cotton, hut such
things are. relatively: uninnportant
compared with the vast consumption
OF cotton for other purposes. The
railroads and trolley lines yof the
United States suso more than $50 ZOO
bales OF, cotton year for erRWeled
ceilings, plush !: chairs, leather. tseats,s
and a,sbrahe hose. The; automobile
consume about 400. 600 bales a year.
Most OF is goes into the cotton duck
basis. which is the e5sential feature
OF tae tires. and the, rest gees largely
for, cushions and seats. ~ *
The largest individual contract for
cotton goods In the world is the one
