Rev. Luther B. Haines and wife,
Mrs. Kathrine A. Haines, evangelists
and singers and National Prison
Workers of St. Louis, Mo., are stay
ing with Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Stro
zier and are conducting a series of
very interesting meetings at the Met!
odist church. Mr. Haines preached
a most able sermon at eleven o’clock
Sunday morning and took his text
from James 4:8. Mr. Haines also
gave a lecture to the young people
of Trion Sunday afternoon in which
he gave them a chemical demonstra
tion of sin. He took three glasses
of clear water, letting each one rep
resent the life of a child, a young
person and an old person, into each
glass he dropped a few drops of
dark liquid from a vial, which rep
resented sin. This liquid caused
each glass of water to become stain
ed. After showing that he could not
mage the water clean by pouring
out a little and filling the glass again
with clear water, Mr. Haines then
took another vial which contained a
red liquid which he said he would
let represent the blood of Jesus, and
into each glass of clouded water he
dropped one drop of the red liquid
making the water as clear as a
crystal, and by letting Christ come
into your heart every sinner can be
made like the one drop of red liquid
made the clouded glass of water.
Mrs. Haines preached Sunday night
in a most impressive and appealing
manner and took Ist Thes. 5:9 as
a text. It is said that there was the
largest crowd out that Sunday night

COTTON IMPROVING
IN SOME SECTIONS.
Memphis, Tenn.—The following Is
the Commercial Appeal’s summary
of the week’s cotton crop condition.
Returns from cotton crop this week
j are mixed. Improvement is noted in
s Georgia Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee. Arkansas. Oklahoma and
northern and eastern Texas. No
improvement or loss occurred in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana
and central, southern and western
Texas.
The plant in Arkansas. Oklahoma
and northern Texas is large, fruiting
well, thrifty and full of promise.
East of the Mississippi river although
improvement has taken place as
noted, the plant is small and not al
ways healthy and apparently stands
are bad. The crop promise is re
garded as still uncertain, although
with favorable weather for the re
mainder of the season, a fair yield
< an be made.
Heavy rains in North and South
Carolina delayed cultivation, and
much grass is still complained of.
Dry weather there is greatly desired.
Much apprehension exists throughout
central and western Texas of a sum
mer drouth. It has not rained there
for two weeks or more and tem
peratures have been very high. The
plant shows the effect. As yet no
great damage has resulted, but it is
believed that the crop has reached
a point whore it will soon detoriate
without moisture. 801 l weevils are
numerous in Louisana, but else
where complaints are not frequent.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
INTERESTING LETTER
FROM DR. RUDICIL
Atlanta, Ga., July 12. —The senate
and house of representatives are
now organized and engaged in a de
sire to improve the present, condi
tion of our great state.
On last Wednesday United States
Senator A. S. Clay was confirmed
by union of general assembly as U.
S. Senator for the next six years.
Ho delivered a fine, practical address
While it is true the southland does
not get all she thinks she needs, yet.
our representatives and senators in
congress do all they can for south
ern interest and Senator Clay’s love,
intelligence and patriotic devotion to
and for Georgia and the entire south
ern division of the union, will be a
power in our, even partial, protec
tion of national interests.He has been
one of our strong representatives on
the tariff question. The people of
Georgia, did the right thing in re
electing him.
The senate passed its first bill
Tuesday, a bill to let counties bor
row money to pay school teachers
promptly. The bill allows county
school boards to borrow money to
pay school teachers where the act
ual necessity arises for prompt pay
ment. This money is to be paid
back to the lender when county school
commissioner receives school funds,
later on. I voted for this bill, yet
hoping we can arrange a better
plan to get the money to pay school
teachers than the above law. The
house of representatives may not con
cur with the senate In passing the
above bill. The governor recom
mended an amendment to constitu
tion to issue six hundred thousand
dollars of bonds for the common
schools of the state. I am afraid
of state bonds, ’f we should begin
to issue state bonds there is no
telling where nor when such going in
debt by the state would end. Yet,
if bonds have Io be Issued by the
state 1 would prefer the issue for
common schools than for any other
purpose and as a last resort to get
money for our teachers 1 may agree
to 11.
A bill was also passed by the
senate to provide for th v observance
of February 12 In the public schools
of the state as “Georgia Day.” This
is in commemoration of the landing
of General Oglethorpe. The bill
does not provide for a holiday for
the schools, only to call attention of
pupils of all schools of the state to
Georgia's early history and her prog
ress from first settlement to present
time. I think this is the right thing
for all schools to do, for our rising
generation. It is Senator Slaton’s
bill and passed without a single op
ponent. The bill to pay ordinarys
of the slate one dollar out of the
county treasury for pension papers
for each pension in county was ta
bled for the present on account. of
some opposition. A number of sen
ate bills have been read first time,
and a few have passed to second
reading.
I hear that the house of represen
tatives have now on record four hun
dred bills, and sixty-nine resolutions
already, and there are perhaps many
more yet to come before the house.
Some of them are amendments, how
ever, to existing laws, and I think
the majority of the members of the
house are looking for some changes
in some of our present laws.
The trial of Railroad Commissioner
McLendon before Joint committee of
house and senate began in senate
chamber last Thursday evening with
open doors. All persons had the
privilege of hearing the statement of
Mr. McLendon and his reasons and
defense for his acts while on duty
as railroad commissioner. Th< gov
ernor’s reasons for removing him
were presented to committee on Tues
day the 12th. J have heard the tes
timony on one side but I am not one
of the committee, though will hear
bolb sides and when the senate' gets
the case before it, which Is the end
of it, I will certainly let the testimo
ny in the case control my vote.

It has been truly said that one of
the best friends a town can have is
a merchant who is a live and con
stant advertiser in its newspapers.
By so doing he does not only ex
tend its trp.de territory, but where
ever the paper goes it carries with
it the impression that it is publish
ed in a live town—a town where
there is push, energy and plenty of
enterprise.
