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."

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.

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.

100 COLD AND WET FOR COTTOU
Good Stands Are Generally Reported
From Eastern and Central Sections,
But Present Conditions Are Adverse.
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. Consider
able has been planted in Virginia,
but the soil is too wet, locally, for
this work. The crop is suffering from
lack of proper cultivation In North
Carolina, and the weather has been
unfavorable for plants in Ohio."

St. Petersburg' By Cable.-The news
from the front continues to point to
the immine.nce of a renewal of fight
Ing on a large scale. 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

Board of Equalization.
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. The follow
ing changes were made:

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.

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.

Day's Lesson.
. Mary and the angeis at the tomb
(vs. 11-13). 11. "Mary." 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.
