cotton crop in Texas follows :
"From the best information

make about half the average co

considerable damage from til
boll weevil. The first bale f(
this county whs marketed hei
last week, bringing 13 cents, wit
a premium. L whs talking to

Texas will probably warelious
and hold over 400,000 bales, th
price here should reach 15 or 1

Dr. Koldridye's Address Kef ore
the lin/dist Assembly.
Dr. B ?ldritiiie, pastor of the
First Baptist church, attended
the Bapli t Assembly in Greenville
tins week, and was one of
t' e speakers of the occasion. The
Greenville Nesva says of his address:
nr T II lVJ^Ly-3-? ?r ?
. ... -'"lUMilKC! ui liHQ?
caster. spoke at S :30 on "The
Psychology of the New Awakening."
Ho is a very lorceful
speaker. He elaborated the familiar
idea tha' personality consists
of the powers of ieeling,
willing and knowing, and look
l lie ground thai much stress has
been put um?n the culture of the
intellect while feeling and will
h'VO been greatly neglected.
Much evil has resulted 1 rom this.
The man, whose intellect lias
been train d while his feeling
and will have been neglected,
is narrow, cynical, unsympathetic,
C( l i ; he tacks the spirit of
humanity. The feelings unre
u?"<i mm uncultured are as
dangerous as <h namite, hue properly
developed and used, they
may be made as powerful and as
useful in the spiritual and moral
sphere as electricity 19 in the
physical world. Intellect is
knowing power ; will is controlliog
power ami feeling is propelling
power.. Intellect is the
guiding track; feeling is the propelling
steam and will is the engineer.
Each is necessary to
the other. He made an appeal
for the culture of the entire man
and said educational material
may be as wisely chosen and as
successfully used for the development
of the sensibilities and
the will us for the intellect.
