Colonel peters is one of the incorporators of the tjouth^rn Cotton .Corporation, jyst formed wjth abundapt capital for controlling the cotton output of the bjouthern States. The corporation will establish warehouses thri^u^lpiut the cotton States and i;jve the fanners receipts for all thecotjon received. These receipts will paps current japd will be '.'good att po|d,'? says the colonel. The corporation will bold the cotton for a. tixed price, jegulated bv the supply and demand, of copr.^e. "It js our purpose,'" said Co|one) * Peters, "to tix tjie price of pur cotton instead of allowing it to he tixed iti Liverpool and New York by spinners and speculators. It will be impossible for us to get our pcheme in operation in tiipc for handling this year's crop, bijt >vp will be peady loff ipjsijjess before next year's crop is picked, and in two or three years we are contijdeut of being atjlp to control the outpuf It will be q to the cotton planters of the South." Colonel Peters said that anions the pieu who are interested \yiih ^ini.in the enterprise is a financier whose cjjeck is pood for a hundred millions.

Hie idea is to induce the English spinners to come to America, goto the South and see the actual conditions that govern the production of the cotton crop. Mr.' Edmunds declares that nothing will benefit the cotton industry more than a visit to the cotton-growing section of the South by representative spinners of the world. He proposes that a convention be held iu which there will be discussed every phase of the cotton industry. A letter frojp Edward Atkinson, of Huston, declares that an international cot top spinners' convenl tiou would do more to in^ufe oerft IDRuent peuc- of the world than r any other influence that could be L exerted.

Bethel Presbytery Bethel Presbytery met in Fojrt J Mill on Tuesday Sept. 20, and continued its sessions until Thursday ni^ht. This Presbytery is one of the stoniest in the Southern Presbyterian church, havintr 2? ministers, 57 churches and 5t>21 cornniuni CHIHH. It wae opened on Tuesday night with it sermon by the retiring Mod- | erator, Rev. II. J. Mills of Ridgeway, and it wub u gpod old-fashion- i od. orthordox sermon tljat pleased everybody. Then the Rev. .T. T. j Dendy, of K? rehavv was unapiinionely elected Moderator ami Rev. W. A. Hafner clerk. The reports from the churches were very encouraging, the preaching excellent, the attendance \yas large, unci the proceedings were lively, niid sometimes very lively The two tLinus of special intei est were the ordination of Key. ). 11 Wallnee and the debute on the appointment by the Inst genpral us seml)ly of a committee to confer with some utiles Presbyterian church in regard to closer relations in wprkiug for the evangelization of the world. Key. .J. E. Wallace is a young man of great promise, as his examination clearly proved. He has been called as pastor by a group churches in Kershaw county. His trial sermon wad preached on I Wednesday njght and was a mas terly exposition of his text. His ndinatioh took place Thursday morning and was an exceedingly impressive scene. The debate on the appointment the committee by the General j Assembly began by the intoduc j lion of a paper protesting against it, which was presented by Protestor Mcl'hecters of Columbia Seminery. He was joined by Drs. W*. T. Hall, J. 11. Thornwell and Rev. .J. I B. Swiuiii. It was opposed by Ilev, : Messrs, Arrowwood, Jangle, Nevi 1 le, Hyde, Kirkpatrick and Haf- J ner.

J\ The Pastoral Call [PublitthM by request.] 1 Pastoral calling, they tell the, is going out of fashion. It is not | adapted to twentieth .century con- i (litions. People are not at home. , I The men are down town, at bnsi-1 ! ness in the day time, at the clubj in the evening. The women life iiitf tn tVtiirwl in t 41Immn ni I lior They have their clubs, too, and J social demands are so overwhelming; and religions conversation ih I not wanted; and the parson is 1 likely to break in on n en id party if he attempts nn aftoi noon call. j Pastoral calling js old fashioned; it ! is out of dute. Nevertheless, I purpose to k.eep on calling, pastorally. If one cannot find the lady of the house en the av.onue at home, he can go down the alley. there tie enn generally find the lady of the house at home; fighting bravely the bat tie of life; and longing for a word of comfort such as a messenger from God might be able to supply. This afternoon I made n pastor- , pi calf; that is why 1 am writing this article. I might have spent the afternoon in the eosey corner of the magazine room of our love- ; ly library building. I wanted to do it. I might have gone to the, college hall game: I wanted to do | that; and 1 fancy there would have been no sin in my going. Hut I 1 spent the afternoon in pastoral call- i ing I mnv llilllC im Ifilnll (|> mil' I one; but I at least got a Ur^e l>les6- j ing myself. And that is something. I To-night 1 know what my people ! are thinking about. Ami that iH much. And what they wnnt ?not what they might say they wanted, but what they actually want down ! in the depths of their harrassed lives. My daughter, just home from college, said to nip this morning: "Oh, father if the great j preachers who come up to the college on Sundays, would only 1 preach out of the Bible, the girls would be so glad. We have J enough philosophy and specula- ! lion all the week; wo want Rome- j thing to help us in our lives." l>ui hdoiit iimi fan, only one of, the half dozen. Yet this was the 1 one 1 ho nearly missed. I am very ' glad that something ssved me from 1 missing this one at least. This' call was the one that cnme almost by accident. And yet 1 don't like ! to talk of accidents in these crsob. i On my way otherwise, I was p :ss- \ iug the house?had passed it in ' fact?when something seemed to | tell me to turn hack and go in. I suppose the old prophets would J have said that it was a voice from heaven. The modern critics would tell me that it was a whim. The psychologist would tell me?hut really 1 don't know what the psychologist would say about it. Alivwnv 1 Went in. I turned bark and went in. It was not J specifically a religious call, 1 think; only the friendly call of a pastor, i 1 suppose I was in tho house not' more than twenty minutes and yet, 1 learned: 1. That tho lady who was an at- ; tendant at our church, but a n.ember I had supposed of another! church, though a Christian woman. | She knew her duty of confessing! Christ and was ready for it at any time; all that was needed was thei hopeful, sympathetic, pastorial encon ragement. 2. The man of the house, who j was regular in attendance at our I church, though not active, had in ' other days been one of the most fif'tiv*" ( tliriutinna fiirnca in n I ...... ^ ... .. . | church of h neighboring city. All , tlmt he neeiled whs to be led buck by h ffiendly hand to hid true place ! in the active work of the kingdom, j 3. That thin man wan a tino tenor i singer (and just at that time we were greatly excercised in finding I a substitute for the toiior in our choir, who had recently moved out of town ) 4.

I have learned since leaving the house that the omission was purely Rial oversight; but tlie , man who had been over-looked imagined that there was a purpose j in it.ami was thinking of cutting loose entirely from the young men's class. 0.
