NIND Consider outh's W REPRESENTED ive is Unani rary Chairman ington and De g Address. $on, Special.-Eleven States, A3a, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi. North Carolina, South Car olina, Tennessee. Texas. West Virginia and Virginia are represented by dele gates to the Southern Industrial Par liament, which began its sessions here Tuesday and will continue through Fri day. There are also present represen tativfs from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, who are interested in the objects for which the parliament was called. -Shich includes the exchange of ideas regarding matters of impor * tance for the development of the South. The feature of the day was the address of Gov. Robert B. Glenn, at the morning session. Addresses were made by W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, S. C.; M. V. Richards, of the Southern railway, who discussed mainly immigration to the South. Dr. Charles A. Cary, of the Alabama Agricultural College. who urged steps to exterminate tick fever among the cattle and advocated that that the Southern people raise more live stock, particularly for beef pur poses. T. B. Thacksion, of South Carolina. was elected peimanent secretary of the parliament. Gov. Robert B. Glenn, of North Caro lina, was unanimously elected presid ing ofcer, and delivered the opening :address. At the outset of his remarks he rece!ved applause by stating that while he had come to Washington with his heart filled with love for the see tion in which he lived, there were no men living that loved. honored and re vered "the great Nation in which we live more than the delegates who are here today from South of the Mason and Dixon line." After drawing a pen picture of the -development of the country during the last hundred years.- Governor Glenn touched upon the devastation wrought In the- South by the contest between the States, and said the peoplebf that section had gone ahead with a will to redeem, reclaim and build up. He spoke of the enormous production of cotton. iron. timber and other commo dities in the South, and declared that it had risen to the place where it ought to stand-"equal. if not superior, to any other section of the universe in which we live." But. he said, while the har vest of the South was great the labor ers were few. Laborers were needed anywhere and everywhere, and he de clared that the South held out oppor tunities, and if they would come there was no reason why they could not have the same returns, the same wealth and be even greater and grander than ,in any other section of the country. But while men of brains and energy were wanted, the South did not want the riff-raff of the countries of the world. Governor Glenn then aroused his au dience to a high pitch of enthusiasm when he denounced the methods of cer tain immigration agents of the West ern railroads to turn the tide of Immi gration from the South by sending abroad maps showing the marvelous prosperity in the West, but picturing the Southern States in black, in order to show that the negroes have the su periority over the whites; that the South is .a place where very few, if any, whites live; where men of money only can endure, and where the white laborer cannot endure because it is the home of the negro and where the ne 'gro is made an equal partner with the whites. "That assertion," he vehem ently declared, "is false, and I herald here today. It is :h'e duty of every nest man in the Ujnited States, hether he is a Northerner, Southern er r Westerner, to remove this calum nity rom the best and purest peo'ple this untry has ever known." n turns With a Plan. New Y k.

Not the Work of errorists. St. Petersburg, By dable.--Though Pno details of the assassination of Prince Nakacidze, have been received the impression here is that the outrage was the work of the Armenian revo lutionary committee in revenge for the attitude taken by the prince dur ing the r'acial war between Armenians kand Tartars in February last, and it jis not attributable to the Russian ter Arorists, even though the latter are ex tremelv active in many parts of the empire. The Armenians laid the re osbility of the deaths of those nai February at the door of Prinze ahidze. TukgeTrustees Meet. -ulkegee.

USTRIAL MEET Questions Relating to )fare in Session In the South. the Governor said, the negro is given every legal right he is entitled to. Their children are edu cated as are the white children; they are given asylums for their deaf. dumb, and blind. and are everywhere given the merciful hand: --but," he said, -'there is one distinction, one line we draw, and that is the line of social equality." That, he proclaimed, could never be. The races were separated by the laws of eternity, because, he said. the white man never was intended to be put on a social equality with the negro. He appealea to every one pres ent to make known the truth and thus "correct any error and lie." The Session Wednesday. Washington, Special.-A discussion of immigration and an address by Gustav H. Schwab, of New York, on -Foreign Commerce and Ocean Trans ortation" were the features of Wed 1~nesday's sessions of the Southern In dustrial Parliament. The immigration question was discussed by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, and Com missioner General Frank P. Sergeant, of the Immigration Bureau. Perman ct organization was effected by the election of Gov. Robert B. Glenn, of North Carolina, as president, and oth er officers as follows : Dr. W. C. Mur phy, of Washington, secretary; T. P. Thaxton, of Columbia. S. C., treasurer. Vice presidents: Alabama, Wm. Rich ards. Huntsville; Georgia, W. 0. Mc Gowan, Hoffman; Mississippi, Henry' Kernoghan. Jackson; North Carolina, R. S. Reinhaidt, Lincolnton; South Carolina, E. J. Watson, Columbia; Tennesee, Robert Gates, Nashville; Texas, Thos. Schwartz, Corsicana; Virginia, C. L. Holland, Danville. Executive committee: W. T. Brown, Regland. Ga.; P. J. Holliday, Wash ington, Ga.; Miss J. S. McCarthy, Batesville, S. C.; J. A. Brown, Chad bourn, N. C.; Albert Akers, Nashville, Tenn.; E. C. Robinson, Houston, Tex.; J. S. Browning, Pocahontas, Va.; H. L. Vest, District of Columbia. In the absence of Governor Glenn, W. 0. McGowan, of Georgia, presided. 'Gustav H. Schwab, of New York, in his address on the Subject of "For eign Commerce and Ocean Transporta tion," was the first speaker. He was followed by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, who spoke on the sub ject of immigration. He said as a re sult of the agricultural and industrial activity and expansion in the South, there was a demand for labor which could =ot be supplied from its own people, and that in consequence the South was struggling with a labor fa mine. Nearly every section of the country, he said, had claimed and obtained a share of the enormous immigration to the United States from abroad during the last 25 years. The failure of the South to get a part of the new com ers not only accounted for the present labor famine in that section, but in many other ways, he said, had been disadvantageous to the United States. The kind of labor the South needed, he said, was a debatable question. He described the system of wages in the South as being almost universally on the share plan, and advised those ac tually engaged in efforts to induce emi gration to the South from other sec tions or from foreign countries to pre sent that plan, and not be misled into a comparison of wage scales. If labor ers for the present could not be gottein from this country, it was certain, he said. that with proper effort the right kind of men could be obtained abroad. Mr. Sergeant declared that 32 per cent. of all the immigration to Aher ica came into the State of New York, the great bulk of the aliens remaining in New York city. They do not, before coming here, he said, look up the geo graphical situation, simply going to vhere their friends have preceded 'them. What was needed was to offer advantages to aliens coming to the United States whereby they may. gath er some knowledge of the country out side the great centers of population. It would be a good thing not only to say to the alien, "You may land." but also to furnish 'him information re garding the opportunities in various sections of the country. Suddenly Killed. Bristol, Va., Special.-Olon A. Ken yon, a prominent lumberman of Nao mi, Mich., was killed near Damascus, Va., Monday in an accident on a log ging railroad. He was largely inter ested in the T. W.

Washington, Special.-The weather Bureau's weekly bulletin of the crop conditions says "While good sts.nds of cotton are generally reported from the eastern and central sections of the cotton belt, cool nights have checked growth and the staple is suffering from lack of sunshine 4-d cultivation, com plaints of grassy fields being received from nearly every State in these two sections. Planting is finished in South Carolina and Alabama, nearly com pleted in North Carolina and Mississ ippi, but about 25 per cent. of the area remains to be planted in Louis lana and Arkansas. Chopping is well advanced in the Carolinas, continue in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and has begun in some places in Arkan sas. In northern Texas, though cot ton was damaged somewhat by heavy showers and is still poor in places, is very weedy, and much planting is un finished, the pr@spects are improved. With more favorable conditions for re planting and cultivation, the crop looks better and cultivation and chop ping are progressing. Cotton is grow ing well in southern Texas; chopping and cultivation are general; sqiares are forming and some has been laid by. Boll weevils and other insect pests are active in some counties. Tobacco plants are plentiful in Ken tucky, and transplanting continues in that State, as well as Indiana, Mary land and North Carolina.

General Linevitch is pressing the Japanese center both on the line of the railway and on the man darin road but whether he is simply feeling Field Marshal Oyama's strength or has assumed a genuine offensive, is not yet clear. There is no doubt, how ever, that Linevitch has made complete preparation for a battle. All the Rus sian sick and wounded, who were at Harbin and places south of there, have been transported westward to Irkutsk, and orders have been given to clear the intervening hospitals. The sanitary trains have also been ordered to the front. Drowned Self and Children,.

After a sessicn of two days, the State board of equalization has taken a iecess for two weeks. At that time the board will meet to hear protests from the representatives of any cor poration which may urge a reduction of the assessment placed on their property. As was published yester day, the board has decided to take 50 per cent. of the market value of the stock of an enterprise as the basis upon which taxes shall be collected. The most important business was the adoption of the report of the com mittee on assessment of property of cotton mills. This report as adopted makes a number of changes in the as sessed valuations of last year, and as the majority of these changes were increased it is probable that the board will have its hands full when it re assembles. The assessment on cotton seed oil mills and on fertIlizer factories were also adopted as recommended by the committees. The board decided to put a valuation of $650,000 on the prpo erty of the Columbia canal. This property has belonged to the Colum bia Water Power Company, but ne gotiations are on foot to have it sold to the Columbia Electric Street Rail way Company. The matter of taxing this proporty has been in the State courts for some time. When the mat ter came up, Mr. Quinby stated that he had information to the effect that the canal had made $90,000 profit last year. Oil Mill Assessments. The State board left the maicrity of the cotton seed oil mills as the as sessment for last year.

OGDEN WRECK INVESTIGATION Report Likely to Be Made Within a Week Placing Responsibility For the Accident. ,olumbia Cor. Charlotte Observer: As forecasted in this correspondence several days ago, the Southern's at torney at the hearing begun before the railroad commission Tuesday to ascertain the cause of the wreck of the Ogden spccial in the Greenville yards on the morning of April 29, as sumed the position that Engineer Jas. R. Hunter, in charge of the special's engine, is entirely to blame for the accident on the ground that he violat ed the rules of the company in coming into the yards without having his en gine "under full control, expecting to find the main track occupied-under such control as would allow him to stop within the distance he could see" -and that as the special was running as an extra with right of way only over trains of published schedules, the Greenville yardmater, even' in the face of the telegram placed on his hook at 7.18 notifying him that the special would arrive at 7.55, was in no wise responsible and was not to blame for having the freight boxes Ien the main track. The main witness put up to outline and define this defense of the road was General Manager Spencer, who said that the telegram to the Green ville office was not sent with the view of curtailing the right of work or shift ing trains, as practice showed that it was not safe to supercede these kinds of rules with respect to large yards like those at Greenville, except by a "No. 31 order," which having to be I receiptpd for and checked back to the dispatcher it was not wise to use on a yard like Greenville's, for the reason that it was bad practice to allow en gineers to get into the habit of run ning specials into such a yard not under full control. Division Counsel J. T. Barron, of the Coast Line was present reprasenting Engineer Hunter. Mr. Hunter's de fense has not been outlined, but it is said that his position is that he vio lated no rule, but followed instructions strictly and is in no wise to blame for the Greenville accident. Mr. Robert C. Ogden was not pres ent, as he intimated in a letter to Gov ernor Heyward a short time ago, he might be. The Ogden party was rep resented by Mr. J. E. Heges, a New York attorney. Dr. Julius D. Dreher, of Lexington, who was on the train, was present as a spectator, as were State Superintendent of Education 0. B. Martin, Attorney F. H. Weston and ex-Attorney General G. D. Bellinger. General Counsel Thomas, assisted by Division Counsel B. L. Abney, and Attorney W. H. Welsh, conducted the examination for the railroad, while At torney General Gunter was present in the interest of the State. Members of the commission cross-examined the witnesses. Among the railroad officials present as witnesses were: General Manager H. B. Spencer, General Superintendent C .S. McManus, Charlotte Division Su perintendent P. L. M c Manus, Savannah Division Superintendent H. A. Williams, Assistant Gen eral Counsel Thom, Assistant General Superintendent H. Baker, Charlotte Chief Dispatcher W. M. Lineberger, Savannah Division Chief Dispatcher, T. P. Baird. Columbia Shops Master Mechanic C. G. Arthur, Charleston Di vision Superintendent Heether, and others. The testimony taken before the commission was all on the lines that the engineer of the speciai train was running contrary to orders in that he should have approached the yard with his train under full control. To this main fact all the evidence tended. The commission will probably make its report for a week or more. Not Wanted in Augusta. Augusta, Ga., Special.-The Israel Epstein, or Ebstein, whom the Paris poiice stated in last night's dispatches was wanted here, was formerly a small inerchant in Augusta. About twenty years ago he left here, going first to Columbia, S. C., and then drifting to parts unknown, leaving sev eral accounts unpaid, and they were put in the hands of a local attorney. Lately, information came that Epstein was in Paris and in good circum stances. The attorney cogimunlicated with the prefecture of police in Paris and asked that Epstein be locked up. There is no criminal charge against the man from here. Met Fatal Accident. Bristol, Va.. Special.-Olonl A.

Sometimes patient enduranc3 is the best way to help one another; sometimes the very cpposite. In propertion as we realize our unicn in one body with our Lord, in r'hat proportion will we form a union aqually close with all Christians. We must know one another before we can help one another, and we cannot know one another without thinking long about one another. The acquaintance with one another that is the basis of mutual helpful ness cannot be had without frequent meeting together. That is only one reason for constant church attend ance. Suggestions. If we are really to help others, we must not consider what help we should like to give, nor what help they would like to receive, but what help they need. Helping others is a firfe art not to I be mastered without long apprentice I ship. * If you are in earnest about helping others, you will not wait for large oc casions, but you will begin with the first worried face, with the first cry in,- child. i There is only one Master of the art of helpfulness, and all true help ers have gained their skill from Him.

A society whose associate members are not becoming active is not tilling its field. EPWORTH [L[AE LESSONS SUNDAY, JUNE FOURTH. The Making of a Christian: Helping One Another.-Eph. 4. 1-63; Heb. 10. 24, 25. As God is one, so should the church be one. We are to recognize each other as brothers of a common faith, and help each other In the building up of character. In Hebrews we hare the further exhortation to "consider one another," and only provoke unto "good works." And this is to be done by assembling together and exhorting one another. This is what results from the usual church service. t The law of mutual dependence runs through human society. We de pend upon a thousand other worker's and toilers for the common necessities of life. The law is even more in evi dence in the spiritual life. We are touching our fellowmen on every side. As Alpine travelers are bound together by ropes, so we are by ties of influ ence. We are in a very real sense our "-brother's keeper." We are mem brs one of another. Let us notice how this law works in the Church. Often the fact that we are selfish and "seek our own" is a stumbling block and a hindrance to our fellow Christians. Our indifference toward te sufferings or trials of our brother may be the means of his fall. A fail ure to speak the encouraging word or do the helpful act may result in the backsliding of a brother. A neglect of helpfulness in a time of tria.l often disheartens. A frown may do more to discourage than a sermon ca-a help. Having our way, pushing our plans~ without considering others, may be Ithe mcans of hindering a whole church. ~How often one sunny Christian is the life and inspiration of a whole church! One Christian who is thought ful and sensible may help a hundred to be better and do more for! Christ. The Master is our example in this. He went about not pleasing himself, but doing good. Recognizing the fact that we have Influence, let us use it for helpfulness. If you are conscious of strength, use that strength--not to harm, but to help. Such a spirit of thoughtful regard for the rights and opinions of others will do more to recommend religion than many sermons. It will attract souls to the church and to Christ. It will build up the kingdom of right eousness on earth. By this blessed unity wrought by the spirit of Chris tian endurance the church becomes as one liv-ing person from whose single! heart and voice God hears the songs of glory.

This was Mary Magdalene, out of whom Chrisr lid cast seven demons, a physical rather than a moral disorder. She was a lIative of Magdala, a town on the Sea of Galilee. She must be distin guished from "The woman who was a sinner" iLuke 7:3G-30), and from Mary. the sister of Martha. *Stood without." The other women and the disciples had left the tomb and Mary was alone as she supposed. *W eeping." Christ had done much for lier, and she had great love for her Lord. "Stooped down." She stooped in order to obtain a view of the interior of the tomb. "The sepulchre." The sepulchre seems to have been a square room hewn out of rock, partly above ground, its roof being as high as the top of the door. 12. "Two angels." Peter and John lid not see the angels. They were min istering spirits to comfort those who were in such great sorrow and need, and they gave explanation of what had been done, no one else being able. Matthew says there was one angel, Mark says a "young man." while Luke says "two men." "In white." This was an emblem of purity (see .e. 10:S). 13. "Why weepest thou?" Are you quite sure that this empty tomb does not show that you ought to be rejoic ing? 11. Jesus appears to Mary (vs. 14 161. 14. She turned to go again with the other women to Jerusalem, who ad already departed, but she had not s yet gone so far as to be out of the arden. 13. "Jesus saith." This was His first appearance. He afterward ppeared on tlis same day to the other women returning from the sepulchre (Matt. 2S:9, 10). to Peter (Luke 24:34), to two disciples going to Emmaus (Luke 24: 13-31). and to ten apostles vrs. 19-23). "Why weepest thou?" She bad cause sufficient to rejoice instead >f to weep. "Gardener." And there ore a servant of Joseph of Ari mathea. who owned the tomb, and who, of course, would be friendly. "Borne Him hence." Thinking that perhaps Joseph had ordered His body taken to some other place. "I will take Him away." She would be responsible for His removal to a proper place. 10. "Mary." Jesus stirred the affec tion of the weeping woman at His side by uttering her own name in tones that thrilled her to the heart and created the new sublime conviction that He had risen as He had said. "Rabboni." My Master. "A whole world of emo tion and devotion in a word." As Mary uttered the word she must have fallen down at the feet of Jesus, embracing them. IIf. Jesus commissions Mary (vs. 17, 18). 17. "Touch Me not." Cling not to Me. The translation "touch Me not" gives a false impression: the verb does not mean to "touch," but-to "hold on to" and "cling to." "I am not yet as cended." Mary appears to have held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. "Go to My brethren." First servants, then disciples, then friends; now, after the resurrection, brethren. "I ascend." I am clothing Myseit with My eternal form: I have laid down My life that I might take it again and use it for the blessedness of My brethren. "My Father." etc. Father of Christ by na ture and of men by grace. is. "Mary-told the disciples." An apostle to the apostles. Mary was the first to see Jesus and the first to pro laim His resurrection. IV. JTesus appears to the apostles (vs. 19-2:7. 19. . "At evening." The events of the day had been many and important, and the apostles, except Thomas who was absent, were prob ably talking over what they had seen and heard. "Doors were shut -for fear." There is nothing to show that the Jews designed to molest the disci pes. but because Christ had been put to eaOth they haid reason to fear for their safety. "Jesus-in the midst." In verse 2G John refers to the fact that the doors were shut in a way to leave but little doubt that he intends to con vey thme impr'ession that Christ entered lby His ou n power while they were shut. "Peace be unto you." His usual salutation and benediction. 20. "He shewed." Luke mlaktes mention of sev ra! other things that took place be fore lie showed them His hands and - side. See Luke 24:37. 38. Jesus pro ceeded to -convince them 1.hat He was indeed a r'eal person. "His hands and His side." Luke says hands and feet. Tis leavecs no doubt that Jesus was nailed to the cross and not tied on as ntny were. Jesus told themt to handle Him (Luke 24:39). w.hich they probably did. "Glad." They were terrified at first, but when they knew Hinm they w~ere glad. "When they sawv." It was at this tinm? that H~e gave to them an other proof that He was the same .Tesus whom they had known. He called fo: food (Luke 24:41-43) and did eat before them. Afterw.ard the apostles called attention to what n1ow1 occurred as a proof of their Lord's resurrection (Acts 10:41). 21. "Hath se-' Me." As I was sent to proclaim the truth of the Most High so I send you for the very same pur p)ose. clothed with authority and in fuenced by the Spirit. 22. "Breathed on them." Intimating by this that they were to be made newv men. "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." (Jut of His ful ness their minds and- hearts were to be filled, and thus they would be prepared to carry on the wvork after He had left them. 23. "Ye -remit." etc. The Re vised Version renders this, "Whose so ever' sins ye forgive. they are forgiver. unto them: whose soever sins ye re tain, they are retained." At 70 Years of Age a Cadet. It is nort often that a man of seventy years of age goes to school. It is more rare yet to find one enlisted as a cadet. drilling an hour each day and taiking a lively interest in his military duties. The latter, however, is not strange when the fact is remembered that :.is same cadet, William Standifer of Hinds county, Miss., is a veteran of the civ.il -war, was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army and bears scars to attest his bravery in many an en gagement during four long years. Nov:. in the sunset of his life,: he agin. wears the Confederate gray, and steps as lightly forward to the stirring misic Ai "Dixie" as any sixteen-year od cadet in the battalion of 400 at te Ag:-'eultural and Mechanical Col' leg of Miss'issippi at Starkville.
