MUSTN'T PREACH FOR MONEY. Irimitive Baptist Preacher Must An swer Charge of Accepting Money for Services. The Fisher's River Primitive Bap tist Association was In session in Surry County a few days ago and of Its proceedings the Mt. Airy News says: "The most Important business of the sessions was that of the question sent up by another association asking if this association endorses the doe trine and practice of Elder James D. Draughn. It seems that some of the Primitive Baptist churches are under the impression that Mr. Draughn is too much of a "progressive" as some have expressed it, in his preaching. They charge that he preaches doc trine too much like that preached by other denominations. Just what the charges are we are not informed suf ficiently well to under take to give them, but it is all a question of what the Primltve Baptist people believe and what they hold is lawful in the way of a minister taking money for his services. It seems that Mr. Draughn has often gone to churches in other States, and being a man of no small ability he preaches the gos pel in a way that the people pay him, and report says he gets as much money for his services as is common for the people to pay ministers of other churches. The Primitve Bap tist people haVe always stood out firmly against making merchandise of the gospel and they denounce any thing like a salary such as is com mon for ministers to receive in many of the churches of other denominations. "The Association decided after a lengthy discussion that it was not a question for that body to settle, but referred the whole matter to Mr. Draughn's home church, Dover, near White Plains. The churches "are ex pected to send delegates, who will meet With Dover Church and hear and decide finally any charges that may he brought against Mr. Draughn. The time for this meting will be ap pointed later." METHODIST CONFERENCE ENDS. Rev. S. N. Booth Charged With Mis appropriating Funds on the Cho wan Circuit is Expelled.

Yes, so far as we know a chemical ed upon as most worthy and entirely '; ? importance mapped in the United necessary. "What are soil surveys ' J3iaies- AUti worth?" What is classification worth j something, too in any science, or in the study of any j related set of facts? What would ' botanits of to-day do had not Lin naeus, the Swedish botanist, made his classification .of plants? What would students of anatomy do to-day without a systematic classification of the bones, muscles, and nerves of the human body? And what would a course in agriculture be worth to-day without a knowledge of soils? And what would a student of agricultural soils of to-day without the classifica tion of soils begun by Whitney some ten or twelve years ago. It is hard by too much to say that the knowl-' edge of agricultural soils in the Unit ed States and, to a great extent, in the world, bears a direct ratio to the progress in the proper classification and mapping of the soils in the Unit ed States. Twenty years ago "pigs was pigs" and "soils was soils," and no one knew or cared to investigate any in trinsic differences existing among them. Our soil facts were in a most chaotic condition and remained so until Whitney came to the rescue and began to set things in order and to develop a science of softs hitherto unknown. True, Mr. King' had done) much good work on soils but his field was soil physics pure and simple and did not touch the all-important class ification so necessary as a broad foundation on which to build a real ly important working knowledge of soils as related to crop production. To-day no agricultural college worthy of the name, would think of graduating a student In agriculture without first imbuing him with a knowledge of the classification of the soils of his State, and, in a general way, those of the United States. Furthermore, there is not an in telligent answer given to-day to a question concerning the fertilization of the soil or the crop adaptation of! the soil that is not based on a knowl edge of the given soil type. Soil types are individuals and must have, to a large extent, individual treatment. Therefore, when a farmer writes his State Department of Agriculture, his Agricultural Experiment Station, or the U. S. Department of Agriculture, concerning the treatment of any par ticular soil on his farm, the answers; to his questions, if reliable, are based on a knowledge of his soil gained ' from a study of the classification of the particular soil made by the U.
