All evangelical ministers Of this
county have been invited to join pas.
tors of all the Protestant churches Of
Louisiana in a monster conference
which is to be held in New Orleans
March 1917. This is the first time in
the history of the Christian churches
of the state that such gather ng has
been held and great good to the
churches is expected to result from the
meeting together Of UNCONVENTIONAL
leaders from all the various churches.
The conference will be in session
for three days, during this time every
available moment being taken up with
intensive consideration of church
problems, both as they affect Georg a
and the entire Christian field through
out the world. 1t will meet at o'clock
of the first day, ard remain in session
with conferences morning, afternoon
and evening, until the late afternoon
Of the third day.
One of the most vital matters which
will be brought up for consideration
will be the results of the religious sur
vey of the state, which will be present
ed through the medium of graphic
charts, maps and picture slides. AL
though the survey will not be complet-
ed at that time, there will be large
number of the counties of the state
ready for exhibition, and these will
form the basis of consideration.
The results of the surveys are said
to be very startling in their revelation
of church weakness throughout rural
districts, and they will show many op-
portunities for concentrated action on
the part of the churches in this state.
The 1nterchurch World Movement, in
making Its surveys, simply discovers
the facts which exist, and then refers
the findings to the churches of each
county and state for whatever action
is deemed necessary by the churches.
Present at the meeting will be some
Of the great Christian leaders of the
South and of the nation. Some Of the
strongest men in the southern
churches will be in attendance as
speakers. There will also be one or
more of the directing heads Of the
1nterchurch World Movement among
the speakers to speak with authority
on whatever features Of the movement

The final day will deal with organ

One Of the most important proceed

conferences of ministers from each
denomination during the course OF the
main conference. There will be time
provided for such meetings in order
that the denominations may determine

form campaigns covering the entire
state, and may take such action re-

i Relief will make to the country in
February for funds to support Its
work among the starving peoples Of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people OF
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially Of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
II hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
Icollect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
IRnt relief and subsistence. / call
lIpon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results"

The census report showed domestic mill consumption of 59l,725 bales for the month of Jan uary, or the largest reported for any one month since 1917, when mills were busy with heavy goods for war uses. It was also noted that the number of spindles reported active during Jan uary was the largest on record, which naturally created bullish sentiment as to future requirements. Local brokers said the bulk of the buying represented covering by straddle or Wall street shorts, however, and trading was not more than moderately active. The early news from Washington was considered unsetling by some traders. but late in the morning there seemed to be in- creased optimism regarding prospects for an early ratification of the peace treaty.

New Orleans, February 14.--Heavy buying was felt by cotton today and the market scored material advances The inquiry was stimulated mainly by the favorable showing of American mill statistics for January. On the first call there was hesitation, the market not knowing just how to take the resig- nation of Secretary Lansing, but after a decline of l to 12 points a deter mined buying movement set in and it lifted prices 36 to 45 points over yester- days close. During the middle part of the session considerable realizing came on the market from the long side and prices reacted 25 to 30 points from the top, but toward the close the demand became general again and the market firmed up rapidly until it stood at net gains of 37 to 46 points. The close was 32 to 40 points up.
 In the mill statistics from the census bureau the figures on consumption of 591,725 bales during January were mainly regarded Private estimates were around 5S7, ,000 bales, but many traders hardly looked for such a total because consumption in December was only 511,5S5 bales. Much was made of the fact of the active spindles during January numbered s4,7Se,o71 and broke all records. b

 Meridian. Miss, Feb, f5 SpeeiaI-The Lsuderdale county grand jury has fully and completely exonerated the members of the police department here following statements alleged to have been made by speakers at a recent meeting of the lacal Anti-Saloon league that the pro- hibition laws were not being enforced and that at least one member of the police force, according to information, had accepted two quarts of moonshine whiSkey from negro bootlegger for the privilege of coming into the city and peddling the stuff" The exonera- tion came in a special report following instructions that there should be a sthorough investigation df the alleged statements and that indictments should De returned against any and all officers against whom there was evidence of guilt and that should it be found that any statements as to the non-en- forcement of the law or charges against officers had been made wilfully and ma liciously the report of the grand jury should so state. Tn this connection the report of the grand jury says:
 Tt was charged that the officers have rot been discharging their duties Our
 investigation shows that some of them
 re not as diligent as they might be in he discharge of their duty, but all of the evidence in regard to the charge that the officers are protecting or shielding blind tigers showed conclusively to our mind that this charge is absolutely groundless and without foundation, and an injustice to the officers as we'll as to our community. The investigation of tho grand jury showed absolutely that rumors in regard to this started chiefly
