James L. Orr, president of Hit* Piedmont mills, ot l'ledmont. S C., regarding the textile industry in the Piedmont region of the South. said: ' The real beginning ol cotton manufaetnr ing io the Pledm n' section of the Carolina^ dates back to 1?20,' when William Bates, a inilveof Mh-s tcliti'fMii, and who learned his '""I" l?> Ihp Arkwriirht mills, near Provi ' hop.

Abraham was a good Dives, rich for both worlds,?ho was Job. Perhaps God has given you a money-making talent that you may carry out the law of love. It has been well said, "the lever which is to move the world is the lever of gold, and the place Archimedes coald not find on which to place it is the Roc.k of Ages." President Andrews wisley remarks ; "Until God makes all people's brains just alike there will always he the rich and the poor.

' You may think we factory people Are an unimportant lot. And the reason why God made us Whs h" kinder Ju*t forgot; V And after he'd created us He thought he'd let us stay, And scramble 'round on earth awhile To pass the time away. Well, I know we're un'mportant In one sense of tbe word. For to the trump of earthly fame Our names are seldom beard. But tunny or us have a heart That's Dobletrue and kind, With a sunny disposition And a gentle, loving mind. .T ' 'u We'll divide with those in need staple? preMi\^auicf oaa Thin (a tiler wififrTnjitage of Christian principle It is the demonstration of a lifelong fidely to truth, virtue and grace, li^means* battle fought and victories It is the resultant of promises piffcito the test unaer ever-varying conditions. It is the consummation of a vitalizing ami sustatnin&Vforce. The form may be bowed, th?Step tottering, the voice quavering, the eye dim and the <ac3 wrini.led ; but Jibe -heart-Is warm, the jsojuI purej.'fhe fkith undaunted, apd'thfe hope radiant. The of conflict, may-be visible, but Che power"of'ftfctorioup grace is seen ^njgjwy-flfcteV' The vivacity may have leparted, but the calmness of spirit ind the joy of confidence appear in ivord and act.

He was.iiititled to apostolic mention and jommendation. His presence was a jenediction. He was to be recognized is a ripe product of God's mercy and ove. . The Church is rich in fine specimens if aged pity. They are found in all )ur older congregations. In some of them they are more numerous than in others, but wherever found they are to be esteemed and honored. They art not to be ignored, nor set aside as useless. They are uot to be crowded out of any service which they may be able to render. Their counsel is valuable. Their experience is precious in God's 3ight, and ought to be with all who see with his eyes and seek to fall in line with his purpose. He has left them behind other pilgrims who started with them toward the goodly land, to be his land-marks for humau guidance, and to be witnesses to His perpetuating grace until the longest periods of human existence. Some of them, it is true, may not be able to say or to do much actively for Him. but they are uot dead wood in His Church. They have a hlstoroy that means much for the h>raeand for the community?for God and for mau. They have a power wilh God that.brings many a blessing to the livJn?.^TWflPW|MQn is not yet ended, and.ftiH not beTuiral God calls themv to*;tfcteir regard, fhey may desire a/H&eWy release, anct some per* sons, who lack a proper appreciation of what they are, and have! beep, may think i.hat the sooner theyk^re taken to glory; the better for tb^n aud folr others,; but the Master, wholtnakes no mi&ake, has still need for them on earthdand wants ihem to htl contented to abiqfe His will, and othjprs to take propefc^nowledge of them fend obtian the inspiration whioh theij patience, resignation, fortitude andt faith are culculated to cominuuicate,' ""~" 1 , To aPCept a kiudiiess and then grow resentful at the suggestion of returning it is to show the essential baduess and bareness of one's heart. v "As you give love, you w'ill have love.

Unfortunate for Pastor and Chnrcb. 1. If a preacher is not willing to go where the Bishop and cabinet direct, ne ought not to join Conferenc. 2. If a preacher is i not pleased with bis appointment, he should hold his Eeace. Especially should he not let is peop e know of his displeasure. 3. It is unfortunate for a pastor to grumble at and scold his people. A chronic grumbler never builds up a church : neither is he apt to be sought as a companion. Pray for and hold up your people, praise their virtues, and leave it to others to say disparaging uungH 01 mem. 4. As a rule, it is unfortunate for both church and Sunday school for a pastor to spend much time away from bis work, no matter what the cause may be. The absence of a pastor is keenly felt, though he may be off seek4i>g health. , < 5. It is unfortunate for a pastor to iptet the idea that'll revival can not be -gii&d without sanding off for an evange Hst(so-called) to conduct the services of his owa 'charge, and thereby falsely educate the people with the idea that there 1b no tactVvrevival.fire or entKnsiasln in the regular pastorate. 6. It is unfortunate for the pastor^to do all the public praying, either in the closing of the regular service, or open-: ihg Sunday-schools or leadffag in prayer meetings. As. many persons as ne& 'eible ought to be encouraged to teaa in prayer. 7. It is unfortunate foi; t^e church where there Is a'ftayr8on*ge--if it is at all respectable?-to nave a poacher sent that won't occupy th& parsonage, though it may be at,gome sacrifice of his pride. AIho itia/unfortunate for a single man to ha?e to go where a parsonage has beat]' provided at the ex? pense of mucja anxiety, toil and sacri uui wooa women woo expeci me associat}#a of the preacher's family. It^-Certainly poor encouragement to Jri>(? Woman's Parsonage and home Mission 8ociety. 8. It is un after be haa.^^M^?otilg1S*-hf& four year's course, norto have a suitable companion to help him in the important work of saving souls. 9. It is unfortunate for the pastor's children to attend baseball, circuses, the dance, or social card games in parlore. Where auch is the case, the pas-: tor is shorn of his strength against worldly minded ness. 10. l? is: .unfortunate for a pastor to criticise his'superiors in office. 11.

This Is due to several causes, to wit: Some School Districts overdrew their apporj tlonment for the previous year, and the overdraft was deducted from the present apportion meut. In some districts ^ftMver pupils ' huve been reported, the total number of cblI; dren, however, bus been Increased which de: creased the per capita rate. The main cause of a decrease in fund Is the ' fact that the apportionment for Inst year (through an oversight) was more than the fund1* actually on hand.
