The Vrcdenburgli Mooting Closes- A New Industry Eighty-two Cases of La Grippe. Sr.xi < A, s. C.. April 11.-Sunday night closed a two weeks' series of meetings conducted at tho Presbyterian church hy Mr. d.s. Vrodonburgh, of Springfield, 111. As Hov. Mr. Handler said, the denominations wore a unit during i he meetings, working harmoniously throughout, Sunday's services at tho Methodist and baptist churches were called in. their pastors and congregations worshiping nt the Presbyterian church. H it is possible to discriminate, Mr. Vrcdciihlll'gh's Sunday morning sermon was perhaps the most beautiful ol' the seiies. Ile chose as his context, as he was pleased to term it, that favorite Psalm, the twe y-third. Added to his ever ready llow f language, there was a magnetic oloq u nce, ami tho discourse teemed with ii lapherie allusions. At night the church was crowded, and it wa* with diOiculty that all who came were seated, 'the sorvico was impres sive; much regtet was felt that, with it, the meeting must ?dose. Considerable ii.Iciest was manifested, and many who had never bcforo made any religious pro fessions confessed Christ. lt was de cided thal a jubileo service should tie held Monday night. Monday night came, and with it an eager assemblage at the church, There wore songs and prayers, Pasnlm reading and talks. Appropriate talks were made by Kev. I). \V, tlioU, pastor of tho bap tist church; Kev. c. I?, Clarkson, of the Methodist church : Kev. \V. S. Untidier, of the Presbyterian church; Hov. C. Waidlaw. ami a number of laymen. Then Mr. Vrodenburgb went into tho pulpit and delivered Iiis '1 lilli message. Ile urged his hearers to he bible Chris tians, leaving willi them a couplet: "Have a time and a place to pray, And read the Hilde every day." The glorious things of the Hilde were mentioned, and. said the speaker. "I pity the man or woman who has never had a vision: not a vision outside Cod's word, hut one found between thc lids of this ldessed hook." Thc vision for thc sinner ls Christ and Nicodemus, .lohn iii: the vision for the saint is Stephen lilied with the Holy (?host, Acts vii:.V?. Mr. Vredellbill'gh's nest point was thal temptation should ho avoided, and this w as emphatically urged. Then rang the words of tho speaker, "Do something." Ile thought it no wonder that many Christians complain of hoing chilly, lt is due lo inac tivity, and Christian SCI \ leo w mild w II rm I hem up. His talk ended, he stepped from thc pulpit, asked the pastors of the town to stand beside him. and the whole congre gation was requested lo walk up and shake hands with the four (.odly men. Thus ended I he service. Mr. Vrcdenburgli has made a wonder ful impression for good upon thc people. His afternoon services were particularly inst rmi i vc. Their primary object was to teach, and this obj cc I was success I'll 11,1 accomplished. If those who hoard him failed to learn more ol' the Hilde or ti. mark their Hildes on reaching home, (if they did Hot have them at the chm eh), theirs, ami liol his. is t he I da mc. w < i M \ N ' CI.11IIS, Now thal the ( lon vent ion of the Peile rali.I Woman's (Muhs is drawing near, much Interest Is foll and express ed on tho subject by the women writers on thc Mate newspapers.

Not only wore farmers bene fited wini bad their eut ton pul up in lloundhtp hales, hut even the patrons of old-style gins profited by tho presence of Koundlap competition. Farmers all over th?' Cotton States have written letters to the owners of bound Inp phillis tolling of tho profit Illili has como to them from having their cotton put up in Itountlhip bales. Mr. \V. 1''. Hartley, Sr., who patronized the Oreen ville, Ala., (daiit wrote February'!. 1000: "Tho most important point in the bound lap bale's favor to the farmers is thc ad vil nco ill the price above that ol' the square bale. lt bas averaged the en tire past season SJ,no por bale more than tho square hale.

Tho Koundlap hale is a Codseml to the farm ers, ami bas saved them thousands ol' dollars in a few months.'' Mr. J. I). Keily, Centreville, Miss., wrote December K 1800: "Another ad vantage to the farmers is that Koundlap cotton brings such a good price thal the buyers of square cotton have been forced to put their price up. 'fhus all the farmers aro bono!)ted in a town when: there is a Koundlap press." Mr. h'. I!. Simonien, Temple, Texas, November 12, 1800: "I have received from $1.50 l<)$!l.50 poi" bale inore for my colton than if 1 bad ginned ami sold in tho sq miro bolo, besides 1 know that tho prices 'flic Aniorinau Cotton Com pany bas paid for seed cotton have been the cause ol' those buying thc square bab- paying from 10 to h"> points more for it." Mr. .1. K.

For tlie last three years, includ ing 1800, I have sold my cotton to your Venus plant. 1 can safely say that 1 have made $2.00 per bale more by selling to you in tho seed than I would have made if I had ginned il into square bales, besides saving a great deal of annoyance with the street buyers. In view of tho fuel tba', the custom gimicrs and those opposed to tin- Koundlap system say that you do not let Hu; farmers have colton seed I will say that I base always golton seed whon 1 asked for it." Mr. P. 1!. Hall, a merchant and planter of Waynesboro, (la., wrote No vom bot' lo. 1800, to Messrs.

All of the buyers in town hid upon same, think ing il square bale cotton. Ono ol' the buyers hid ?'?, cents, another 0.^71 cents, uni another 5.0.1 cents, the latter re marking .:< the time that he was really bidding a fud six leon tb more than the lot of coll?n vas worth.

I believe thal the Hound lap bale is I he hale of the future, as it .Meets n large saving of waste, and oil* ibles the planter to get a higher price Cor his col ton." Mr. Abram Williams. November 10, 1800, wrote Messrs.
