Rev. L. T. Mays Writes of An In
stance of Goodness on the I'art
of the Minister of the First
Baptist Church Here.
Thomasville people are to bo con-
gratu'ated on securing I)r. W. M.
Harris, as a pastor. He Is one of
the best informed men in the South
ern ministry. It Is not often that a
wide acquaintance with literature,
art, philosophy and tneology. Is
round combined with a genial per
sonality, deep piety and good ad
dress, as is to be found In Dr. Har
ris.
When the writer was pastor
Houston, Texas, Dr. Harris was at
Galveston, Texas. He and his es-
teeaied family were among the
survivors and were noted as heroic
helpers when the storm of 1900
carried eight thousand people to a
grave In the Gulf of Mexico. They
brought their pet Jersey cow up Into
the parsonage, which was seven
feet above the street grade, and
saved her life. When the storm and
water had subsided, they gave the
milk of this cow to orphaned ba
bies, a-nd to the sick, and thereby
saved a score of lives. In many
other ways they served the suffer
ing and won tho everlasting grati
tude of Galveston.
Thomasvllls people will find In
them this same le-nde rcarc for the
sick and needy, for Dr. Harris, In
addition to pulpit power, has the
true shepherd heart.

Chicago, March 7.—Leading mer
chants of this Qity appeared before

age wage was $9.12 weekly. The

home.

his corporation were seven million
dollars in 1911.He admitted that the
concern could raise wages a little,
and still pay some dividends. He
Staid he would be glad to meet the
wishes of the state "so far as com
petition would permit.'*
He testified that the investiga
tion made by his company showed
that the minimum requirements of
girls not living at home was eight
dollars per week.
Rosenthal further declared that

paid women aud the vice problem.

with the aid of Dr. David Murray,
of the United Statee, they organized
a public school system. Now there
are 26,000 elementary public schools
with six and one-half ml'lion pupils.
Moreover, education is compulsory
for six years. Parents have to send
their children to school. If too
poor to buy books, the school buys
them. They have tomfortable
school buildings all over the coun
try.
Not satisfied with common schools,
they have organized a*.i Imperial
University, as good as any in the
world, with a few i>oa3ible excep

are over 6,000 students, who have
finished the high school and col

The wonderful progress of Japan,
its rise from an insignificant nation
to a first rate power, (they defeated
Russia), Is attributed by the speak
