The treasurer's report showed an increase above last Year. This year there was given 42 cents per capita to state missions, $1.08 per capita to state, home and foreign mis,,ions. and $1.61 per capita to benevolence. The association resolved to support six orphanls at Connie Maxwell orph anage at $72.00 each, the first associa toin in the state to take such actioni. The First church, Newberry, was the first in the state to begin the indivi diuial support. This was undertaken more thaln twelve years ago aid the Sunday school has kept it up ever since. Now she will support two. To trotier w. ii. Hunt, in a very large Ieasire, is due the interest and siccess of this work in the Sunday Selhool. 'T'le Mt.

Manufacturers' Record. For the second time since the turn st< of the century Southern cotton mills took during the season ended August Ol 31 a greater number of bales of Amer ican cotton than Northern mills took, pul the takings having been 2,374,225 bales by Southern mills and 2,349,478 i.l by the Northern mills. The takings rh, this year by Southern mills were more than double their takings ten years ap ago and more than four times their ed takings in '90. The progress of South ern mills in comparison with mills in lie the rest of tile country during the ~ past tell years is shown by the follow ing table based upon figures from the valuable annual report of Col. Henry L G. Hester. secretary of the New Or leans Cot ton Exchlalnle, which in more elaborate forim published on other Pa,ges of this week's issue of the Man afacturers' Record: S1 Year Southern Northern ended mills. mills.

In 1905 they took 4,445,650 bales of 32.7 per cent, of the 13,505,- T] 650 bales of tile commercial crop that year. In 1906 they took 4, 723,703 of the 11,345,988 bales of the commercial crop, or 41.6 p)er cent of tIle total. Still, withl this advance and in spite of the fact that had tihe supply of op,eratives, especially in the South beeni equal to the spindle equipment, tile takings hy American mills would Di have probably reached 5,000,000 bales, or nearly half of the total commercial crop. American textile opportunities, resting upon tile unexcelled advances of tIhe South as a cotton grower and E thle rapidl expanlsion of the chances in the home market, with an annual in creagse of between 1,500,000 and 2,000, 000 in the populatiion of the United States, are not being realized as they should be. Cotton mpanufacturers in -contemplation of the fact that while T -in tihe last fiscal year we imported $63,043,322 worth of manufactures of cotton, we exported but $52,944,033 worth of manufactures of cotton, E r should sink all differences of opinion ,about supposed competition between bI t cotton mills in different sections of a the country in a united effort to give I the full advantage of American mark- N m ets to the full and to' place whatever 1 suIrpuls of goods there may be in for- p :eign markets. It will take time, of Ty 1 course. But there is no reason why at i American cotton nyanufacturers t should not have a standing in world i markets at least equal to that of .. British manufacturers, particularly I' in view of the faet that the market f s coming 'so rapidly to the United I States through increase in population.
