Baltimore Sun.; Methodism was born in a great missionary movement, and - for more than a century has gone marching on its way around the globe. From the days of Wesley it has observed the call to go lna all the world, - and has done its part in bringing nearer the time when the Gospel shall be preached to every living creature. Its en listment of men of every land and tongue is exemplified in the Ecum enical Conference now in session at Toronto. Seventeen 'countries are represented- by the 500 delegates," and the statisticians assert that the various bodies of Methodists now embrace 9,000,000 communi cants, with 30,000,000 adherents under Methodist influence. No Protestant denomination haa 'shown more remarkable growth than, the Methodists, and there appears to be little ground for pessimism in regard to the future. Dr. H. K. Carroll pointed out in an address at Toronto that in the past decade there has been an increase of but 437,562, or 15 per cent., compared with 1,261,209, or 33 per cent., in the decade ending in 1891. But this is only relative, and a denomi nation that can show a net in crease of over 400,000 in 10 years is certainly moving forward. While conditions in England are not so favorableg as in America, according to the accounts of Rev. Simpson Johnson and Rev. Henry Haign, the reports from the mis sion fields are more than gratify ing. Rev. William Williams declares that "every tenth person in Austra lia is a Methodist," while the con ferences in China, Japan, India, Af rica and other mission fields have a membership of; 708,105, 1,444,292 adherents and 458,165 in the Sunda schools. There are 2,528 mission aries in active service, while there are 52,978 ordained ministers in the home conferences,, the conse crated captains who lead a vast ar my of worshipers. Americans are taking a leading part in the conference, whish is held on this continent for the first time, and the Southerners ars- par ticularly prominent. Bishop A. j W. Wilson, of Baltimore; Bishop Eugene Hendrix, Bishop E. E. Hoss, of Nashville, Tenn.; . Rev. T. H. Lewis, of Westminster, Md. and Bishop John C. Kilgo, of Durham, N.: C., are among the speakers. The address of President Lewis, of the Methodist Protestant Gener al Conference, for a union of all American Methodists into one, body was an eloquent plea for a closer co-operation of the 17 separate bod ies which now bear the Methodist name. Heretofore neither the ef forts for "organic union" nor for consolidation have been entirely sue cessf ul. But whether the Metho dists maintain their distinctive or ganizations or unite in one immense body, they will continue to b one of the most virile and energetic di visions of the church militant. Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce Urges Each Citizen of Town to Buy Bale of Cotton "The Cause of the Farmer the Cause of All.' Fayetteville Dispatch, 17th. The Fayetteville chamber of com merce is the originator of a plan to elevate the price of cotton to a flg vre allowing a fair renumeration to the producer. This plan is con tained in a resolution passed by the chamber urging each citizen of Fayetteville, merchant or clerk, rranufacturer. or mechanic, trades man or professional man who can, by any possible means do so, to buy at least a bale of cotton on the Fayetteville market and as long as he is able to do without the funds Invested in It to let that Lale stand before his door as a sign of his friendly co-operation with the producer of the South's greatest crop. It is estimated . that if Southern towns and cities gener ally would adapt this plan at" least 300,000 woul. be bought by individ uals who are not cctton buyers and that probably half of this" amount would be held until spring. This it is. -pointed out by the chamber of commerce, would not only apprecia bly laise the price of the fleecy sta ple but would bring about a new era of increased good feeling and co operation between the town and country. "The cause of the farm er," says the chamber of commerce, is the cause of all." When the farmer suffers the whole country suffers. The merchants "and business men generally are taking hold of the matter heartily and confidently believe the far-reaching plan of the chamber of commerce will be suc cessful. Fayetteville apeals to her sister towns and cities of the South If all of them co-operate in . this movement there is little doubt that the price of cotton will advance to a good paying figure.

She Whipped the Bully. Pittsburg Dispatch to New York World. . t - v Just .because she "enforced dis cipline" and thrashed nine husky boy scholars in a grand melee, Miss Roberta , Atkinson may lose her place in the Sandy Creek school. near here. Several angry farmers have asked the Penn township schools board to dismiss the pretty and athletic teacher for whipping their sons. She has been offered already sev eral positions at a higher salary in localities where the schoolboys need physical training." Miss Roberta has not been long at Sandy Creek. The oldest of her scholars, taller and stronger than she is, determined - to do as they danged pleased b'gosh. She was kind and patient. Then the bully of the school was extremely im pertinent. He wears cowhide boots and homespun clothes and is big enough to work at piano moving. Smiling, Miss Roberta moved swiftly toward him. "Swish!" 'Swish!" A brand-new rattan whis tled down on his legs; he was too surprised to move before he had received half a dozen strokes of the rattan. He tried to seize it, to grapple Miss Roberta; wielding her rattan dexterously, she kept him at its length rapping him on his calves, his knuckles anywhere. At first his eight classmates grinned to see the bully "getting his." Then, in answer to his howls for help, they rushed on Miss Ro berta. Intrenched behind a desk. she met them. She smote them even as Sampson smote the Philis tines. There was hitting in the clinches and catch-as-catch can wrestling, but "after about three min utes of furious combat the brave Miss Roberta remained mistress of the field. "Boys, do I win?" she asked, smiling forgivingly as she did up her hair. i "Ye es, teacher," the nine chor used, stammeringly. "Then be good and there will be no reason for me to be cross with you again," she said. " 'Cross! Great Scott, I'd hate to see her real mad," whimpered the bully, rubbing his knuckles. Baltimore Sun. Americans consume some 7,360, 000,000 pounds of sugar a year. An advance of a single cent a pound amounts to $73,000,000. The Sug ar Trust has raised the price until the consumer has to pay more for this necessity than he has paid in twenty years. According to the estimate of the Springfield Repub lican, this means a tax of $7.50 on every family. In reality it means much more than that, for we must pay more for our cakes, candies, preserves. Jams and everything in which sugar is used. . The refiners promise no relief in fact, they tell us the price is likely to go higher. Their explana tion is that there is a "world short age In sugar";" that the cane crop in Cuba and the beet crop in Ger many have failed; and while Rus sia has a million tons surplus, that local laws prohibit its exportation. This is poor consolation for the con sumer. He refuses to accept the word of a corporation that has ruth lessly crushed out competitors, whose former officials deceived their own stockholders, whose employes were caught redhanded cheating the Government out of custom" dues. Whether justified or not, there is a general feeling that the trust has seized upon thl3 pretext to mulct the consumers. The Juggling of prices up and down strengthens the impression that manipulation as much as shortage accounts for pres ent market conditions. Trust methods are well illustrat ed in Louisiana. That State has produced, according to the New Or leaps Picayune, "one of the best crops, if not the largest, In Its his tory." If there is a scarcity of raw sugar, its planters have a right to expect high prices. They must sell to the trust, as it controls the "re fineries and markets. Yet the trust, the Picayune Bays, pays much less for raw sugar delivered at its re finery . in New Orleans than it does for foreign sugar delivered at New York. "The excuse for this discrim ination," says the Picayune, "'Ms lhat if the producers of Louisiana had to ship their sugars to New York they would have to pay the f re'ight and charges." This is the system of monopoly. Possessing the power to fix prices, the producer is paid as little as possible, while the con sumer is charged "all the traffic will bear." . A Congressional committee Is now investigating the Sugar Trust, and It should not be misled by any cook- ed-up crop statements. All the conditions should be investigated. The trust exists In apparent viola tion of the Sherman law. Whether the present prices are Justified' or not, no corporation should be al lowed to exercise such tremendous power.being able to tax at will our 90,000,000 people. If Mr. Taft does not order an investigation, and if the Department of Justice does not prosecute, the President cannot com plain if the people are convinc ed that he has again failed in his duty to the consumer. And they will know what to do next year when they remember that a Demo cratic President and a Democratic Congress can give them relief by a change in the tariff laws. A CERTAIN RICH MAX.

"He supported with encourage ment and affection the heart of every man that confided in him. He liter ally did forgive his enemies, and he was ever one of the largest bondhold ers in heaven." These words were written of an aged min'ster who died not long ago. The writer was his widow, who, in the remarkable document quoted above,lhu3 names the as.se ta which her husband accumulated during a long life of toil and of riding the cir cuit As for money on band at the time of his death, he had two dollars and thirty-five cents in his purse and one hundred and sixteen dollars in the bank. In addition, he had a few books, and a coffin in which to be buried. This is the inventory of the estate of a rich man. The few dollars in the bank did not constitute his wealth. The real wealth of the man coosisted of things that could not be bought or sold or deposited in a kank. They greatly err who suppose thia man to have been" poor. He liv ed rich in the experiences that brought j y to many hearts; he died rich in accumulations of goodness and unstiated affection. There are various measures of wealth, none of them w holly false. Money has its value, and it is an im portant value. Money is like a stor age battery, for it enables a man who his ten dollars to do instantly five men's work for a day. It is folly to despise money, or to talk as it it ought to be disregarded. But the wealth in the world is not all to be measured in terms of money, nor is it capable of being purchased with money. Love, joy, simple goodness are the pure gold of life, and are the a39etts that underlie the investments of all those who are "bondholders in heaven." Oae who has been a friend to little children, who has pitied the poor, cared for the widow and the orphan, given freely and unostentatiously to the extent of twelve hundred- dollars a year, who dies with bis debts paid, and who leaves bthicd him two dol lars and thirty-five cents io cash and one hundred and sixteen dollars in the bank, has lived well and dies rich. Mr. Green's Idea of the Cotton Sit- uatlon. Marshville Our Home. Being asked what he thinks of the cotton situation State Organizer Lecturer J. Z. Green, of the Farm ers Union, said to the Home report er: "There isn't anything the mat ter with the cotton market except heavy selling in September. The farmers themselves are responsible and every man who has put a bale of cotton on a falling market has helped to depress the price. They have simply allowed themmselves to be stampeded that's all. When we learn to. feed the cotton market just as fast as the market is hun gry for cotton, and no faster, these extreme fluctuations in the price of cotton will be a thing of the past. The only way to get the price of cotton back up to fifteen cents Is to keep it off the. market until the market gets hungry enough to pay that price. And since the crazy rush of cotton . to market has been stopped we begin to see the effects, even in ten days time. The price on the New Orleans market ad vanced two dollars a bale yester day. An intelligent farmer, who has any of the elements of manhood about him, ought to be ashamed to be seen on the streets with a bale of cotton, at present prices." James C.

There is a disease of cotton which is yearly attracting increased atten tion throughout the cotton belt. It Is known as cotton anthracnose. It Is most easily recognized when on the boll, where it forms : ulcer-like spits, which, as they age, become pink in the centers. The spot may enlarge so as to effect the whole boll. The diseased part of the boll usually falls to open and often the contents rot. En quires from various sections of the state are being received almost daily at the Experiment Station s concerning this disease. It has been especially severe in Alabama, and Georgia during recent years, ( so severe in the latter State that' the legislature haa made special ap-' propriation for its investigation. Although the disease Is seen and i recognized most prominently on the bolls, it also occurs on the leaves and stems. Cotton growers should! know that this disease is carried from season to season on the seed, and that seed from a sick boll, even though very slightly diseased, may raise a diseased plant, and this in turn may spread the dis ease to the whole crop of the next season. There is no satisfactory treatmen, and the one point to be remembered is that seed from dis eased fields is likely to carry the disease, in fact, almost sure to do so. Even seed from clean fields which has passed through a gin in which diseased cotton has been ginned is dangerous. It is of ut- most importance for the grower to be sure that his cotton seed does not come from a field or from a region where this disease prevails. F. L. STEVENS, Plant Pathologist.
