JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. For months past the newspapers have been filled with stories about the great Jamestown Exposition.

The most important matter before the assembly will be the adoption or rejection of the articles of agreement (the Charlotte articles) which were drawn up for the purpose of providing a basis on which the various Presby terian churches could stand, if being contended that work could be carried more effectively unitedly, than separ ately. The articles of agreement came up for discussion at the last meeting of the General Assembly at Greenville, S. C, and after considerable debate it was decided to leave the matter to the various presbyteries of the Synods and have each vote upon it. The Syn ods of several States have adopted the articles, while other have rejected them. Some Presbyterians hold that the adoption of the articles would mean the death of the Southern Pres byterian church while others contend that it would mean a larger and more useful life. lin, and Anson.

The oppon ents of the scheme were skeptical as to the practicability of the proposition, pre-eminently because they were un willing for the producer to establish himself on the market as the buyer This does not come within the range of the proposition at all. There will be other buyers. Representatives of foreign buyers will continue on the market and continue for a time to dic tate the market, but ultimately the warehouse plan is destined not to drive them from the market as buyers, but to absolutely demand that they offer a price equivalent to the minimum price set by the National Association. un its lace the proposition is to create a market. Recently a cotton mill became involved in financial straits and the price of stock in the concern could not be established. A mill man interested in the enterprise went to the stockholders and stated that he was going to fix the price of stock at 115. If anybody wanted to sell he would buy them out. If anybody wanted to buy he would sell out at that figure. He established a fixed price.
