COTTON

NEW YORK, July 21.-Affected
by the weaker cables and pre-bureau
liquidation, the cototn market open
ed five to % points lower today
Moderate selling by spot houses in
the south was partly absorbed by
wire houses, Wall street and LlV-
erpool Owing to the reports of rain
in the drought sections in northwest
Texas, early weather reports were
considered more favorable and senti-
ment was disposed to anticipate a
slightly higher government condition
figure. Considerable interest was
taken in a government report that
cotton caterpillars had been found
at q dozen points along the Texas

sss;r ngnt infestation as yet. There

Toward the end of the first half
hour, the market was irregular with
saly at 31.32 and Oct. 25.7S or about
Is to IS points net lower.
Increased profit taking sales in
she early afternoon forced July con-
tracts off 95 points from the top to
1920, and October so points to 27.15.
The market acted a little unsettled
on reports from the south, indicat-
ing that crop conditions in some
sections appeared to be better than
those indicated by the government
report.
The governments crop condition
estimate of only 6S.5 was sensation
ally bullish, and led to an immediate
advance of from $50 to 200 points.
October spurted to 27.65, with trad
ing automatically stopped for time
uuder the 200-points rule. Heavy

fotably from Wall street and inter

LECTURER TELLS
HEARERS KINGDOM
OF MESSIAH NEAR

A. H. Macmillan Of Brooklyn, n.
l., spoke Sunday evening in the Au-
susta Opera House to very atten-
i've audience in the subject, Mes
siah's Kingdom near, Millions now
living will never die"
The speaker divided his lecture
into three different propositions and
showed that Messiah's Kingdom has
been the hope of the human family
ever since Adam was driven from
Eden sixty centuries ago.
The speaker traced the bow of
promise throughout the various ages
from the beginning of human history
to the present time. All the prophets
that God raised up in ages past fore
told the wonderful things that Mes
sian would do for humanity when he
would come. They were looking for
a restoration of an earthly paradise
according to the promise made to
Abraham.
The speaker pointed out that the
work of the Gospel age has not been
the failure that skeptics and enemies
maintain. He showed from facts of
history and the Scriptures that the
work of the Gospel age was the de-
Nelopment of the bride of Christ and
that this work has been most thor
oughly done by consecrated mission
aries who have gone out over the
earth bearing the Gospel message.
. The speaker proceeded at length to
show that these foretold signs would
be divided into three groups. One
group has been fulfilled, another
group is in process of fulfillment
now, and the last events or china X
would be witnessed in the near flu
ture. The first group consists of four
events as shown in Matt. 24:6,7; the
nations and kingdoms would rise up
In war; there would be famines; pes
tilences would prevail; there would
be earthquakes in divers places. AS
we all we'll know these groups are
past-the war. famine, pestilences
and great earthquakes, one being
the great Japanese calamity. The
next group referred to by Luke
25:26 would be the great perplexity
and distress and that the hearts of
the people would be fearful for the
things coming on the world. This
condition is recognized by all to ex-
list at the present time by all think
ing people. for the world is in con-
fusion and all are fearful of the
outcome. The final event that will
bring the Kingdom is the great trib-
ulation referred to in Matt. 24:21,22,
For then shall be the great tribula-
ton such as was not since the be-
ginning of the world to this time"
Here the speaker read excerpts from
prominent men which pictured the
destruction of the race of men If they
do change their practices of intrigue
and deceit in dealing with nations
and the people of the nations. Jesus
said this tribulation would destroy
the whole race if not cut short and
fiNre would be saved.
kaa1e speaker pointed out that those
who pass through the great world
| trouble will be those who constitute
the millions now living, who will not
so into death but seeking the Lord
and justice and righteousness will
continue to live and enjoy the early
blessings of the kingdom for which
we have prayed "Thy kingdom come
and Thy will be done on earth as in
Heaven"

Animals Have Wits

That animals think before they aci
IL the conviction expressed by Dhan
Gopal Mukieri. Indian lecturer and
author.
Mr.. MukerH asserts that all real
doing was the result of active con-
temptation and thinking, and that
deeds unprecedented were short
lived, cites examples from his exper-
fences with animals in India.
Once" said Mr.. Mukerji. II was
with a party of men who were trav-
cling in India on elephants. One
morning we saw the purplish color in
the high grass which indicates that
a tiger is lying there. Before any of
us could raise a rife the male, for
there were two of them, had leaped
to the back of one of the elephants
and remained there face to face with
the helpless rider. Meantime his
mate. the tigress. skunk away into
some deep underbrush and safety.
She uttered one little cry and her
mate leaped from the back of the
elephant and followed her. He was
shot down.
THE whole act was not one, Of ag-
gression, but of protection. The tiger
did not want TO attack our man, but
TO prevent US from attacking his
{
his own life, but, after thought. how
ever brief. determined to sacrifice his
own to save hers. He knew that she
who could bear cubs and bring them
up was of more value than he. and
that 1t was hts duty to save her.
In another instance the elephant
was left with a little Indian baby in
a basket while the parent Of the babe
Went away for several hours. The
elephant was tied so that he could
not reach the basket. When the par
ent came back q was with HIND we
saw that huge poisonous snake had
coiled itself around the basket. We
did not know what to do for fear that
the snake would strike the baby if
we made any move.
THE elephant all the while was
straining the rope which held him
and trying to attract the snakes at
tention by swinging his trunk. He
was clearly trying to get the snake
to attack him and leave the baby.
The parent carried a club. Suddenly
the elephant saw it and with one
swoop of his trunk wrenched it away
from the man. He moved the club
back and forth over the ground until
the snake saw 1t. The snake uncoil-
ed itself and moved over and coiled
itself around the stick. With one
rapid stroke the elephant raised and
lowered his trunk. killing the snake.
The elephant had thought out the
whole ruse ana the snake had been
outwitted. The elephants actions
throughout had been intelligentiy
calculated to save the baby even
though it were necessary to be bit
ten himself.-Philadelp Inquirer.
