The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, June 15, 1904. Don't Sill Sob White. Tb??rrr?itbologiets cf the DepartpfirtTTPct of Agriculture bave been snaking an investigation of tbe economic Bob White, as a result of which it is now announced that that bird is "probably tbe most useful abundant species on tbe farms." Fiel 1 observations, experiments and examinations show that it con sumes large quantities of weed seeds and destroys many of the worst insect pests with which farmers contend. and it does Dot injure grain, frnit, or any other crop. It is figured that from September 1 to April 30, annually, in Virginia alone, the total consumption of weed seed by Bob Whites amounts to 573 tons. Somo of the pests which, it habitually destroys, the report says, are the Mexican boll weevil, which damages the cotton crop upwards ok $15,000,000 a year; the potato beetle, which cuts of $10,000,000 from the value of the potato crop; the cotton which have been known to cause $30,000, 000 loss in a year; the chinch bug and the Rocky Mountain locust scourges, which leaves desolation in their patch and have caused losses to the extent of 8100 000,000 in some years. The report urges measures to secure the preservation of the Bob Whites in this country. State of Oeio, City of Toledo, ) Lucas County j es Frank J.

I have just returned from an Union meeiig held with the Lexing'on Bsptist church, and am sorry to say that only a little over onehalf cf the churches in our division were represented. It seemed at first as if the meeting would have to be postponed for iack of .representatives Buffie*'ecf for a quorum. However, the few we had present so ably discard the queries assigned that any one wound have been glad for having stored a little time to attend that Union. Even a non professor, we fee! assured, felt that the Spirit of God was present and gently guided the work. And I must say right here that the people who compose the Lexington,Baptist church have been , wonde: fully blessed by the Lord by sending to them the pastor who is new their teacher. The church above referred to seems to be full of energy ana life?far more so than tr.j church, I am sorry to say. The Lexington Biptiet church, if my memory serves me right, consists of 38 member?: we have on the roll of our chuich 138 names, but the Lexington irLurch is doing more for the Cause than we are. Now, I named our disease k*Lszy." Some Brother please name it correct!}! Are we deac? X:, net entire!;! Well, is it ccvetcusress. or is it poverty, or tne aev:.? We are thieves of the highest degref; taking -willfully that which the Lord has put in our case to use for bis cause and ap propriaiiDg it to any and evervtbi?}g el6 . Id some ii^sfcanceslay up treasurers that purchase our own death. "Yes, and further, we steal the prescious time God has given us to worship him in and have used it to promote the kingdom of the devil. Just look at us for a moment! We are up from eun riee till the sun goes down, and from sun set to sun liee we don't take the rest which is intended for us. We never stop for extreme temperature either way?:!oiog whai??seeking after the things of this world which are perishable and calculated to drag U3 down to perdition. Reader, please observe one point | in this article. I am not leaving out the writer from among the greedy set, but I include old self in every instates where clutv is left undone and the wrong thing fully carried out. We call for delegates to go to a union, most everybody will promise to go, but, flla'I when the time comes to go, the excuses rendered for not doing so are appalling. Bat if some poor neighbor's house over yonder was under mortgage and going to be sold, we can:fc sleep the night before, but are up before day with horse in harness, corn in sack and fodder strapped to the buggy and cut or the road trying to slip in and make a sneaking bid for something we do ncl need at all. Why not go and help the brother to redeem his property which is at stake, instead. This is ! only a sketch cf our living here Brother Baptist, think of this a lit' tie. B. L K. O ?t MA?

[ Toe position of the administration as indicated by Mr. Hay, is that the time has come to prove to Mokam1 medan countries that persecuting ! ' | American citizens and destroying ! i 1 their lives and property must cease. This proof is to be presented as j i forcibly as necessary without any | i i regard to what the powers of Europe I may tbink about it. The United i -7 Sta'es is interested in Morocco only ' as far as the lives and property of American citizens are concerned. Not until Mr. Perdicaris has been released, or, if he is killed by his bandit captors, not until this murder hae been avenged will the American warships be withdrawn from Tangier. The administration, it is officially stated, will adhere strictly to this policy without regard to whom it may effect. Ttyat the Sultan of Morocco appreciates the gravity of the situation is indicated by a dispatch received today from Admiral Chadwick, who reports that the Sultan is expected at Tangier. Only the most potent reasons could force the Sultan to leave the sacred capital of Fez to visit Tangier, and this fact, baa convinced j Mr. Hay that he haa taken the mat- I tor cut of the hands of his repreeen i tative there and that an early settle ment of the affair i9 possible. } The state department haa received ' unofficial assurance that the sultan ! of Morocco will accede to all of > Raisuli's terms> It is stated posii tiveiy that UDder no conditions can ? ihe United States government guar, antee the execution of the sultanB . promises." The sultan has not yet i complied with all of Rtisnli's de' maDds and there is no likelihood that the captives will be released speedily. A Washington special to The . State says there that strikingly sim1 ilar in some respects to the capture \ by Bulgarian bandits, several years . aao. of Mis3 Ellen stone, an Ameri . can missionary in Turkey, ii the * j recent kidnapping by a band of I Moorish brigands of Ion Perdicaris, | a wealthy American resident cf TanI gier, Morocco, which promises interj nationl results of far reaching importance which did not follow in the case of Miss Stone. The prompt dispatch of seven American warships to Tangier, followed by the ultimatum of the Washington government to the sultan of Morocco infoming him that ( should Perdicaris be harmed no nation in the world could prevent ( the prompt avengiDg of the wrong ( by the United States, has given to I Europe another forceful illustration of straitforward American diplomacy which will not be soon forgotten. There can be no doubt that President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay propose to rescue Perdicaris from the brigands alive, if that be possible. If Perdicaris is murdered they propose to see to it that Raisuli, the 1 leader of the brigand band who kid j napped him, and his followers, are punished with death. They will look to the sultan of Morocco first to punish the kidnappers and if he fail recourse must be had to an armed expedition. It is not expected that the government will be forced to go to the latter extremo. For the present this government ! will await.the result of the efforts cf ! Fracce to secure the release of PerI . j dicaris and his step-son, Mr. Varley, j a British subject. As soon a3 this | I government was informed last wetk I I of the capture of Perdicaris. orders j were promptly cabled to the Canaries i ! directing Rear Admiral Chadwick j upon his arrival there to send a ship i at full speed to Tangier, and to fol- ! i * j low with his Other ships as scon as ! i they could coal. At the same time j i Mr. Gummere, the American consul i j , ; at Tangier, was instructed to demand ! i 1 I of the sultan the immediate appre- j i i ' j hension of the brigands and the i rescue cf Perdiearis. A few days | later Mr. Gummere was advised by i the sultan's representative that 1 Iiaisuli had sent a message stating j ! the terms upon which be would re- j | lease his captives. These terms j ! included the payment of 8 ransom : j of ?55.000, the recognition by the j sultan of Iliisuli's sovereignty over a j considerable part of Morocco and a j j joint guarantee by Great Britain and ! the United States that Riisuli and j | his fellow brigands should not be | punished for the kidnapping of i P?rd:caris and Yar'ey, or for It (J many other depred .fcious which 1' e band has committed. It. took Secretary Hay just long ^ J j n ; enough to read the teims for Lina to decide that they were an impertinent as they were impossible, aLd consul Gameers was cabled to say as much to the suit an. The nest news from Perdicaria was a threat from Eaieuli that unless his terms were promptly complied with his captives would be killed. Again the Washington government sent a pointed and forceful reply; Rear Admiral Jewell, commander-inchief of the European squadron, who had just arrived at the Canaries, was ordered to sail at once for Tanonrl i ^in A /I fY. :r r n Lr in 1 ^ici auu j^nu ai vuuu m iva x ^x | the harbor there. When the guns of seven American warships were frowning upon the illy fortified town of Tangier and the Vv'ashicgton government was in a position to back up itn demands with force. Secretary Hiy, by a clever diplomatic stroke, held his navai force in abeyance and obtained the active assistance of the French j government, whose position in Mo* | rocco is far stronger than that of any j other foreign power. Mr. Porter, ! our ambassador at Paris, was. dsrectt d j to request the French government that it use its good offices to obtain the release of the American caDtive. Strong hopes are ftlt here that the J pressure which it is known France will bring to bear upon the sultan will induce hi an to get hold of Riisuli and come to some sort of an arrangement with him by which his captives will soon be released. France is anxious to do this, for the reason that she wishes to prove the strength of her position in Morocco and the efficacy of her Monroe doctrine over that territory. A BritishAmerican expedition to the mountain fastness of Morocco on a police mission would prove a severe blow io French prestige. Even more ai xiouw is the sultan to secure the release of the captives, for should he fail Great Britain and the United States would put him down a3 incapable of maintaining order in Morocco Hcd foreign intervention might be expected at any time. The probable release of Perdicaris will not relieve the sultan from the responsibility of maintaining better order in his country, for as it is now the foreign residents are to constant danger of being kidnapped and in case the ransom is paid in Riisuli the brigands will only be encouraged to kidnao other foreigners. 1785. 1904 COLLEGE OF CEABLEST02T CHARLESTON, S.
