Though a man of peace, the
Rev. R Lee Robinson, of Camden,
Ala , has sufficient provo
cati<?n to go punniu' for the publishers
of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian, who conspicuously
display in the last i-sue of that
excellen' journal what purports
to be a picture of Mr. Robinson
which no more resembles him
than night does day. The aforesaid
picture gives Mr. Robinson
the appearance of having been
struck on the left side of the
face with a freshly used wattleiron.
TOWN AND COUNTRY GETTING
TOGETHER.
Strange to say, one of the besl
results of the Cotton Growers'
Association thus far manifest
has received little or no com
ment at the hands of the nress
* '
or of the people. It seems tc
have been entirely overlooked.
Wo refer to the bringing about
of better relations between the
town and the country. Unfortunately
for years there has not
been that cordial, friendly feeling
between the citizens of the
town and those of the country
which there should be. Various
causes, unnecessary here to discuss,
tended from time to time
to drive them further apart.
But thanks to a kind Providence
and the cotton association the
country people and the towns
people are today on better terms
Al Al 1 ? ' *
tmui uiey nave open in a long,
Jong time.
The cotton association lias emphasized
the fact that a community
of interest exists between
town and country, that whatever
contributes to the welfare
of the one operates in a corresponding
degree to the advance
inent of the best interests of the
other. It was but natural therefore
for merchants, bankers,
professional men and farmers
to come together for a common
Ti'I T*nnaA tlin Iirnf no! inn o *wl
|Z " vuv j/iViUVVlVll (4 1114 yiVJm
motion of the direct interests of
one class, the farmers, when it
was realized that by so doing
the interests of all classes would
be subserved.
A prominent citizen of Lan
caster no doubt voiced the sentiment
of many others when he
remarked in effect a day or two
ago that the cotton association
had indeed proven to be u revelation
to him, in that it had ,
demonstrated the practical util
ity and value of co operation in
any matter affecting the general
welfare. He went on to say
that heretofore he had paid but
little attention to the farmers'
movements, their meetings,etc.,
1 A ll. . A V #. 1_ * 4 . 1
out mat nereaiter ne intenus
, to be present at all their gath!
ing9 and to lend a helping hand
in all their undertakings.
Through the cotton association
the fact had suddenly been
brought home to him that the
farmers' prosperity meant his
and the town's prosperity, that
the better the price they realized
for their money crop?
cottAn?the more cash they
would spend in town with merchants
and others.
It took a concrete example to
convince the party in question (
of the fact that the interests of
town and countrv are one. hut
let it go at that. His conviction
was the thing desired, and that
has been attained, whatever
the means. And his experience
is but the experience of many
others, doubtless.

National Sinners' Report.

78 Per Cent Ginned.
Dallas, Texas, November 10.
?The cotton rennrt of 'Ilia M-?
tional Ginners' Association was
made public to day, one day
sooner than intended. The reason,
Secretary Black well said,
was because a portion of the re
port had "leaked."
He did not know how this had
happened, he said. The report
is as follows :
Our summary of reports show
that there has been ginned to

Evangelist Montgomery.
The "Well Known Baptist
Minister, Formerly of Lancaster
County, Now Doing
a Great "Work for the Master,
in the Far "West.
The many friends in this, his
native county,will be pleased to
hear of th?* marked success of
the IieA. D. P. Montgomery,
who is now engaged in evau
gelistip work in tho West. The
California Morning Dispatch, in
a recent issue, Lays of Mr.
Montgomery :
California is fortunate enough
to be again visited by one of the
most learned and most enthusi
astic evangelists of the state,
Rev D P Montgomery, who
begun a se iesof meetings at the
Baptist church last Friday
evening.
Evangelist Montgomery is a
man who speaks with such
force and earnestness that his
words and thought fiv swift as
an arrow to the mind of his
audiencu, meeting approval in
that of the Christian, and con
vic'ion in that of the worldly,
some of whom have been brave
enough to openly admit the
fact and mate a stand for
Christ.
Tuesday evening the evangel
ist begun a series of talks on
"Sin" which promises to be
very inteiesting, as well as instructive
to saint and sinner
alike, as this is the most vital
question that presents it*>eli to
the human race.
la exp aimng the etomoloity
of tile word s liner, Brother
Montgomery said, wlien with
bo a and arrow in ancient days a
skilled marksman sliot at the
bull's eye and failed to Bit it,
ho was terine i a sinner, or one
who mused the mark, and that
is the most correct definition of
the word .is used iit the scrip
tures.
In the exp'anation of such
important words, as well as in
other ways, tBe evangelist shows
thorough preparation for the
noble work in which he is
laboring.
Ihe excellent minister, Rev.
C. N. White, of Smithton, is
here assisting in the meeting.
Cottage prayer meetings and
aiternoon cessions are helpful
adjuncts to the meeting.

PRESIDENT
PAUL MORTON
Outlining the policy of the new
management of the Equitable
T.ifo SnfMPt.v of th*
United States in an address delivered
before a Convention of
Equitable Agents, among other
things says :
"Already there has been a
saving in the administration of
your Society amounting to approximately
$600,000 perannum.
This equals 4 per cent, on an
investment of $15,000,000.
This is the equivalent to having
$15,000,000 more 4 per cent,
bonds in our vaults. There will
be other economies, and I can
only repeat that retrenchment
and conservative management
is going to lie our policy. I have
great ambitions for the Equ ita
Die. 1 want it to De not only ine
greatest and the best but the
safest and most conservative life
insurance institution in the land.
I want it to be the one that the
agents will like the very best to
work for. I want it to be the one
that bankers and people who
have securities for sale can feel
that they will always get a square
deal from. I want it to be the
one that policyholders will recommend
tneir friends to insure
in and that everybody can point
to with pride. I want it to be
known, not only as the strongest
financially, but the strongest
morally."
Moral: Insure in the Equitable
Life, "Strongest in the
World."
