AVERAGE SALARIES
PER YEAR OF MINISTERS IX THE
IXITKP STATES IS
Six Hundred and Thirty Three l>ol.
lun Kotnet Interesting Statistics
About Churches.
The average sajary paid to minlaters
in the Untted States is $633 a
ear, according to a bulletin that
ihe government has just issued.
This conclusion is reached from figures
for the year 1906. There were
then 164,830 Christaln ministers in
the United States, and 1,084 Jewish
rabbis. They Increase in number
at the rate of nearly 4,000 a year,
the total salary paid to ministers
in 1906 was $69,667,587. More
than half the Christaln ministers
are included in the Baptist and the
Methodist denominations.
There are a number of ministers
in New York who receive $5,000 a
year. The hightest salary ever offered
to a minister In New York was
$18,000 a year. It was offered by
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
churcty and he declined it. Several
ministers in N w York receive $15,000
a year and a dozen or so $12,000
a year. These are the hightest
salaries for ministers in the world.
I^ondon and Berlin averages are
hardly more than $3,000 a year.
That is, a London minister who gets
$3,000 is near the top. In New York
he is near the bottom.
The government shows the average
salaries of ministers in cities

$1,938; Methodist $1,642:

south $227. On the other hand,
bodies that are strongest in the cities.
like the Unitarian, the Protestant
Episcopal, and the Roman Catholic,
the averages stay about the
same.
For example Unitarians receive the
highest average salaries of all, their
figure being $1,653. The Protestant
Episcopal ranges down from $1,517
the Roman Catholic does not fall off
at all. , the rural districts ranging
higher than the average, at $72 4.
The average salaries of Christaln
Science readers is only $23 4 for the
whole country, with $958 as the average
in cities having 300,000 population
or more. The government
explains this curious fact as that
readers are practitioners as a rule,
r.nd are expected to earu their own
support.
In actual money, Methodist ministers
get most of all, their salaries
amounting annually to $1 6,150,000
Raptists receive $10,323,000. Presbyterians
$7,610,000. Roman Catholics

Congregationalists $4,154,000,
Reformed $1,682,000, and Jews

so these figures, in practically every
instance, ought to be increased by
'one-fifth for 1908, and another fifth
for the present year. It is estimated
on the basis of these reports that

A Georgia Oo temporary Pays a High
Tribute to the Men Who Carry
the Mall..
The Georgian says the rural mall
'arrier is the modern enlightener,
that's what he is?this driver of the
t-lage-ocuch of rural progress.
He came into existence only a few
j f ars a?.o. But do you know what
be, with his increasing numbers, has
ne since then ?
He turned the rural sections of
i lie United States squarely about and
made new places of them.
He opened up the way for the new
clentl'flc agriculture a~nd the new agricultural
education that is becoming
such a tremendous force in American
life?a thing that will add milI'cns
to the wealth of the farm and,
therefore, to the nation. That's what
he has done and is doing.
And, in addition, every day he
l,rings brightness and Joy to places
where brightness and joy came a'l
too seldom.
As a dispenser of cheer and hepriness
his equal probably has never
een known. He is wo.'.lv r-f the
highest place in the most enthusiastic
sunshine circle or smile club
known.
Daily he b-"?rs thenews of the
world and. therefore, a bj. of its
'isdom and culture, to the isolated
homes of the farm.
It's hard to conceive of a more
ennobling occupation. As a matter
of fact, the occupation reacts on Jhe
man with beneficial results. There
never was yet a rural free delivery
carrier that wasn't a booster; never
one that was a pessimist, and never
one who, if he held the Job any
length of time and was not the hlg*
est type of progressive citizen, didnot
become so.
This foliow8 as a natural result.
The rural carrier handles the electric
current of civizilation, and necessarily
he receives the thrills of its
pulsating force.
Traversing each day a wide territory.
he observes what farming operations
are being carried on; he notes
fhe affairs of community life. He
has perhaps a broader view and.
therefore, knows more of the conditions
of his neighhood than any other
man in it. No man is more sensitive
to its needs than he, or sees
more clearly what can operate for
its improvement.
ii inere exists anything like and
improvement club or betterment society,
he is usually the head if It,
and bis efforts are not lukewarm,
but are enthusiastic and persistent
Enlightening others, he enlightens
himself. Bringing good citizenship
to others, he acquires It himself on
the way.
Distributing news, knowledge and
gctod cheer, his duty trip is a sort of
triumphal march. His coming is
watched for in advance. He is sighted
far down the road. He is met
with a welcome and what he brings
is received with joy, and the words
with which he is dismissed, "Come
again," are no mean'ngless phrase.

Man's Muscles Hardening, the Result
of Hook Worm.
Physicians at Richmond are greatly
interested in the case of M. L.
Peadon, a Pitt county, N. C., farmer,
who is in a hospital for the treatment
of a form ,of ossification. This
condition is regarded as due to a
form of the hook worm disease from
which he suffered two years ago.
Six months ago he noticed a hard
ening 01 me muscles or his Teet. limbs
and hands. It continued to such an
alarming extent that the muscles
would crack when jarred by walking.
The joints of the elbows and fingers
developed boil like ulcers. The physician
in charge says Peadon is suffering
from hardening of the muscles
and that it is yielding somewhat to
electrical treatment.

S
.4ceordlaff to the Pirdictloos of the
New York World the Republicans
W ill B- Routed.
If the predictions of the New York ^
World comes true the Republicans
will be routed horse, foot and d>'i?Roon
next November. Here 1b what
the World predicts:
The size of the Democratic vi; f?rv .
that will be announced on the m >r iing
of November 9 next will be staggering.
It will include an overwhelming
majority In the house of
representatives and a gain of many _
United States senators. Onlo, the y
president's own State, will be lost to
the Republicans. New York, the
State of the ex-president, will be
sweepingly Democratic. Majorities
will be so large that people will tire
of computing thein.
Not through Democratic virtues j
and abilities but in spite of Democratic
blunders and weaknesses are
those things to come about; not because
there are more Democrats
than Republicans, but because there
are more American progressives than
standpatters; not as a rebuke to ^
this man or that man in particular,
but a condemnation of many men;
not as a rejection of one policy but
as a repudiation of many policies;
not as an evidence of momentary indignation.
but as voicing the demand
of a great and free people for liiht, |
for truth, for economy, for peace!
What ire these bitter Republican
quarrels but attempts in advance to
escape the judgment which all konw
is at hand? There is a mad rush
for safety. Responsible men are posing
as irresponslbles. Old offenders
masquerade as innocents. Sacrifices ^
are offered up in the hope that the
popular wrath may he appeased.
There is talk even of a third term
in the White House for the voclteious
and lawness person under whom
Cannou and Aldrlch and Payne and
Sherman and Dalzell got their strangle
grip on party and country. ^
In spite of all this there will be
no mistake about that which is to
take place in November. It is to be
more a Republican defeat than a
Democratic victory; more a popular
uprising against plutocracy and privilege
than a party revival; moree a
matured verdic t on Rooseveltisai
than upon Republicanism; more a re- j
buke of Taft as proxy than of Taft
as president; more an expression of
hope in Democracy than of faith in
Democracy.

Dangling from a trestle just outside
of Greenwood. Fla., Friday was
found the bodies of Kd Christian, a
negro charged with shooting deputy
Sheriff Allen Hums and liattie
Howinan, n negress, who had been
arrested on the charge of being implicated
in the crime. The negroes
were taken from the local jail by a
mob which had little trouble overpowering
the guards. ,
Several days a*40 a warrant was
sworn out for Christian charging
him with the theft of a watch from a
local physician. When Burns, accompanied
t>y the physician, went to
Christians home to make the arrest
his call for Christian to come out
was greeted from within with a volley
of shots, one bullet striking
Burns in the breast and another in
the arm. His condition is considered
critical.
As soon as the physician spread
the news posses were organized fo
capture Christian, but he had made
good his escape. The Bowman wo- ?
man. however was placed in jail, ac- .
cused of having had a hand in the J
shooting of the officer. I.ate yester- a
day Christian was brought back
from Dothan, Ala., where lie was
captured. He and the Bowman wonujn
were led from the jail with a
rope around their necks but no effort
was made Friday night to ascer
lain wlial the mob did with them. *
