Lynchburg, April 28.?The replant? ing of cotton killed out by the recent cold spell is being pushed, though with fear and trembling, in conse? quence of the scarcity of seed and the uncertainty of the extent of the dam? age; though it Is safe to say that if the cotton that has or may survive, so far, a big per cent will eventually die out. j Mrs. Tisdale and Mrs. Brown are reported convalescing.

This escape from death or serious injury was border? ing on a miracle. The horse made no i fforl to run, but remained perfectly quiet. Mr. Albert Wheeler, after a several month's stay in Florida, returned to Iiis Home here last night. IXKFIIANTS ON RAJIPAGK. Xluo Brutes Rush Through the streets of Danville, III. Danville, lib. April 27.?Several i < rsona w< re Injured ami much prop orty was damaged today by nine ele? phants that stampeded just after they had been unloaded from a ear after m v. ral hours' ride from Chicago. A large elephant made a break for lib? erty, bowling over tin keeper and es? caping. The animal was fololwed by seven other bulls, which ran bellow? ing through the streets an 1 aor< ssthe fields, Later, while tin entire force of trainers and keepers were engaged in the unusual ap >rt of hunting ele? phants in automobiles, a female ele? phant escaped. For several hours the elephants were at large, hunted by all attaches of the circus, the city policemen ami the m ?re venturesome cltlsena The elephants at fust moved in a bunch, then separated, They stopped for nothing except brick and stone build? ings. Such small frame structures as coal shells, fences and trees as came in their path were pushed over, trodden down, uprooted and thrown to one side. At the home of William Miller three elephanta found Insufficient room to pass between the summer kitchen and house, so they pushed the kitchen aside, frightening the persons Inside from the table, but in? juring no one. At the home of Joseph Peebles, after overturning a shed ami killing a horse, one Of tin animals at i o ked I t ehles a nd hurled him it gainst the side -a tin house, Peebles Is in a critical condition, Harney O'Neal, a liveryman, was thrown from his wagon by the elephants as t h< j das hed dou u a side street in rronl of hi team. f\ K. ttahbe. one ? a the keepers, while assisting in stabling t in c. oi ihe bulls nrt< r ih< Ir capture, was hurled against the side -a' a ham ami Injured.

More than 100 homes were dum? ttgee' to Borne ext< nl by the elephants but the total loss, probably will not exceed $10,000. Several truck gar? dens and orchards were partly ruined in the outskirts of the city, while many shade trees were broken, or up? rooted. One elephant was still at large to night. MILEAGE HOOK REGULATION. Interstate Commerce Commissidn Is? sues an Order Upholding opinion Of dames s. Harlan. Washington, I?. C, April 27.?In an < rder just Issued by the interstate commission In which the commission by unaniim us action upholds the opinion of Commissioner James S. Harlan in the case of Bernard Esch? ner versus the Pennsylvania Railroad Company et al, the principle of the mileage ticket exchange regulation now In effect on the railroads in the Southeast Is upheld. The order is of great importance to railroads issu? ing interchangeable mileage tickets and to purchasers of such ticket;-. In this order the commission says: "The right to use exchange orders and mileage tickets is in the nature of a privilege voluntarily accorded by carriers under their tariffs. and must be accepted by those who use such special fares with all lawful and non-discriminatory limitations that may be attached to them." Three important points made by the com? mission are that the issuance of mile? age tickets is in no sense compulsory but is permissable and voluntary on the part of the carriers, that purchas? ers of mileage tickets may not law? fully be constituted into a special class, but must come under the gen? eral law common to all passengers, and that purchasers of mileage tick? ets are bound by the lawful contract features of that form of reduced rate transportation. The commission goes so far as to hold that purchasers of special re? duced rate transportation, such as I mileage tickets, have no legal right to demand the same privileges and advantages that are accorded to a passenger who has paid the regular fare at a higher rate. The carriers have never gone to this extent, but while making the mileage ticket reg? ulation for their protection, have af? forded the same privileges and ad? vantages to the purchasers of mile? age tickets as are given to purchas? ers of other forms of transportation. This order of the commission sup ports the views of State railroad com? missions, legislatures a nd other tri? bunals in the Southeast to which the mileage ticket exchange regulation has been submitted. FLYING ACROSS ENGLAND. French Aviator Wins Xoitlieliff's $50,? ooo Prize. London, April 27.?The French? man. Louis Paulhan, whose efforts have frequently been crowned with victory, today won the greatest race in the history of mankind and $50, 000, when he tlew into Manchester at 5:30 o'clock this morning, having traveled by areoplane from London, a distance by railway of more than 180 miles, with only a single over night stop at Llchfleld. The prize of *r.0,000 was donated by Lord North - cllffe for the lirst aeroplane High! from London to Manchester, a dis? tance of ist', miles. Paulhan's un? fortunate competitor. Graham White, the English a\iator, for some unex? plained reason, after making a sue c? ssful new start at Reade, where he made hi--- first landing, descended at Polesworth and no advices have yet reached London of his having resum ? d his night. lie was doubly unfortunate in thus having victory snatched from his grasp inasmuch as the wreck of his machine after his previous attempt delayed the renewal of the night, and yesterday believing that Paulhan would not start until Thursday morn? ing, went to sleep, thus allowing his opponent to gain a great advantage. The winning of the prize involve 1 >ne of the most sensational contests that has ev. r occurred in Great Brit? ain. White a few days ago attempt? ed the trip but was compelled to de? scend at Llchfleld after covering 11"? miles, Paulhan then appeared on the scene, and the two aviators made hasty preparations for the night, c.ic h striving to be lirst at the start. Paulhan stole a march on the Eng? lishman, ascending from Hendon at 6:20 i?. m. yesterday. White, who was sleeping peaceful? ly at the time, was apprised of this fact and made a quick start from I 'ark Royal at ::;?? p, m. l'aulhan, (lying high and fast, covering H" miles before he landed, making that distance In two leans and 50 minutes. Me des. end. ,I at I .ichlleld at 8:10 p. m. and re ascended at *? :05l a. m. to . . mplete t be journey. W hit.- succeeded In reaching a dis? tance of about BO miles, descending .-a account of darkness al 7:55 p. m. 11, managed to >>\ - rcome some of the Handicap h> starting again on the long Joiirne.v to Manchester at 2:50 a. m. II- landed, however, at Poles worth, which is about 60 miles from M in< le ster. "I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND NOT SACRIFICE." Matthew 12:1-14.?May 1. "But if ye had known tchat this meancth. I trill hare mercy, and not sacrifice, ye Would not have condemned the guiltless."?V'. 7. 8A.BBATH observance is the essence of this study. Reasonable people, regardless of their religious convictions, are ready to admit the wis? dom, the expediency, yes. the necessity, for a Sabbath day, a rest day once a week. Whatever disputes there are on the subject, therefore, pertain to which day shall be observed and to the manner of the observance. When, through Moses as Mediator, God adopted the nation of Israel as his peculiar people, accepting them into Covenant relationship through their promised obedience to the I,aw. he fixed for them a special day of the week, the seventh, to be their Snbbath, or day of rest. This Law specially apper? tained to Palestine Had It extended beyond, to encompass the whole earth, it would have been necessary for the Law to specify which day should be considered the Sabbath on the other side of the earth, where the time would, of course, be twenty-four hours different But those of us who are not Jews by nature and not under that Law Covenant are not bound by Its limitation that the Sabbath should be oa the seventh day of the week. Indeed, neither Jesus nor the Apostles ever placed the Gospel Church under the Law Covenant at all. They tell us that those under It were the "house of servants" in bondage and that we are the "house of sons," if we "stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free " This does not mean liberty or freedom to do wrong. But since Chris? tians are not limited to the land of Palestine. It leaves us free to follow the spirit of the Law rather than its letter. This Is true of the entire Ten Com? mandments, as well as of the Fourth. The Heavenly Father does not ad? dress his spirit-begotten children with commandments not to kill, not to steal, etc.. because such commandments to them would be unnecessary. Be gotteu of the holy Spirit, they love God and reverence him alone, and would not think of homaglng images, nor of profaning the Holy Name, nor of doing injury to u neighbor or a brother. On the contrary, their love for God would lead them to honor his Name, to serve his Cause. And their love for their neighbor as for themselves would prompt them to render him service?"do? ing good unto nil men as we have opportunity, especially to the household of faith." (Gnl. ?:10.l This love, the Apostle assures us. is the fulfillment of the Law. so far as we are concerned?the fulfilling of the spirit of the Law?for "ye are not under the Law (Covenant), but under UheJ Grace (Covenant)."? Rom. G:14: Gal 3:20. The Jews had a system of Sabbath Days and Sabbath Years?the Seventh Day and the (7 X 7 -f 1 = 50) Fiftieth Day. or Day of Pentecost And they had a system of year Sabbaths, the Seventh Year and the (7 x 7 + 1 = 50? Fiftieth Year, or Year of Jubilee. These were typical, as the Apostle ex? plains, and true Christians may enjoy the antitypes. Thus to us the Seventh Day represents a Rest of a higher character than that of the Law?a rest of faith, as Instead of a physical rest "We who believe do enter into his rest"? a faith rest based upon our acceptance of Jesus as our satisfaction before God. The fulness of this rest we attain when we receive the begetting of the holy Spirit And this was typified by the sending of the holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost Similarly Israel's Sabbatic Year of Jubilee has Its anti? type in the great Millennial Age of Rest (Acts 3:20.) But we leave the dis? cussion of this for a more convenient season. The Great Teacher as a Jew was as much under the obligations of every feature of the Law Covenant as any other Jew. We may be sure that he did not violate any feature of it ne was obligated to keep the letter of It In a sense and degree which he has not commanded us. his followers. It Is ours merely to keep the spirit of it Hence if we were living in Palestine neither the Seventh Day nor any other particular day of the week would be obliga? tory upon us. But It would be our pleasure to maintain the spirit of the Jewish Law. Acting along the lines of this liberty, the early Church began to meet on the First Day of the week, because it was on that day that their Redeemer arose from the dead. On that day he appeared to some in the up? per room and to two on the way to Emmaus and to Mary, and subsequently to others of the disciples near the tomb. These four manifestations of the Lord's resurrection marked that day iu a special sense as a holy day to the early Church. They waited during an entire week and then again he ap? peared on the llrst dar of the week Indeed, so far as we may know, all of his eight appearances to his followers after his resurrection were on the first day of the week. No wonder, then, it became knowu to them as the Lord's Day. No wonder if they specially associated with that Da/ all the blessings of God and a rest of faith which came tn them through the Re? deemer Quite probably those who lived in .lewis!) communities would con? tinue to observe the Seventh Day also.\l localise its general observance sroull make this h necessity But the Klrst Day of the week became the general tiuie for the Lord's followers to assemble themselves and to partake of a simple meal called breaking of bread (Ilot the Lord's Supper) in commemora? tion of the fact thai on the day of his resurrection Jesus manifested himse? to his follower- in the breaking of bread. Bnt we ..re not to understand fro in the present study that the Master re proved the .lews for keeping the Seventh Day. which was their duty. His reproofs ??? rieh to certain extremes. The Pharisees exaggerated some fea tu res at i entirely overestimated other features of the Law. In their theory there was mi harm in eating the corn on the Sabbath Da'.. I ut to pull an ear of it they construed to be reaping. And to rub it out of the chaff they con ?Idered to be threshing and winnowing. Similarly to scratch er look fcr s Dm was estimated to be hunting, and thus God s reasouable Law was mad to appear absurd it was such absurdities only that Jesus conibattsd. He showed that one bad a right to satisfy his hunger, and cited ? case when the Prophet David had done so without blame He cited also the fact tha: the priests labored ou the Sabbath Day without blame He explained that God was desirous of seeing In his (features the quality of mercy towards ODO another, rather than merely the sacrificing of their comforts Had they ree ognlsed this Truth they would not have found faull with the Apostles. Then, as though to demonstrate Iiis position, lie healed a man who had ; Withered hand, also demonstrating by his miracle that he had the Divine favor and that his teaching on the subje t had tins evidence of it-- truthfulness He pointed out the Inconsistency of his critics, aayiug thai since iliey would relieve one of their brute beasts, if he fell Into a pit mi the Sabbath, thev would see. therefore, how illogical was their position in ob> lug to his per forming cures of human ills on the Sabbath Day Rr.1 the evil heart is not amenable to reason. The very fact that he demonstrated his teachings to be superior to theirs excited the Pharisees to envy, malice, hatred, and the rerj spirit of murder. Thus they evidenced that they lacked the quality of mercy, love, which God would specially approve, and without which we cannot b< his children. Sacrifice is right in Its place, but irer -y more particularly in dlcates the acceptable condition of the heart Quite probably Jesus did so many of his miracles on the Sabbath Day as a type- as a prophetical picture of the great fad that the antitypieal day. hie great Sabbath Day will be the Seventh Thousand Year period, the Millennium ENGLAND'S MAY har1ior. The Great Naval Base at Dover Cost- j lllg .S20.uoo.000. The new harbor recently complet? ed at Dover, England, by the British admiralty, which was formerly open? ed by the Prince of Wales, is, accord? ing to the Technical World, one of the greatest engineering feats ever put in hand and brought to a success? ful completion. This new home for the British Beet can claim the distinction of being the largest artificial harbor In the world, it l ie loses at low tide a wnt? P area of mo less than 610 acres, affording ample accommodation for ? fleet ol ?_*:? first class battleships with the at? tendant smaller craft, su. h as tor? pedo boat-;, gunboats, etc. This harbor has taken eleven years to construct and has cost the govern? ment $200,(.,000. Bj its erection the ancient English port of Dover has been transformed Into a powerful na? val base. The reason for this trans? formation is m>t far to sei k. it Is the policy of the British admiralty for the strength and bulk of their shhlps to lie nearest their strong* si rival. That rival today is Germany, hence the desirability of equipping Dover w Ith an efficiently protected harbor, where the ships can lie safely at an ehor and yet be In B position to strike quickly at the North Sea. As a mat ter of fact other naval basis are be? ing erected, on the east coast of Great Britain. One is now nearing comple? tion at Rosyth in Scotland, and an? other new harbor is to be constructed in the < Orkneys. The Dover harbor, begun in' 1S'.?S. has been secured by constructing three arms or walls. The well rjho m admiralty pier, whieh had a length of 1,000 feet, has been extended another 2,000 feel and forms the western arm of the harbor. The second runs Ol t 3,320 feel from the base of the cli,vs and the third arm Is the breakwater. 1,200 feel in length, situated three quart* rs of a mile from the shore and aim* st parallel with it. Mr. Quay Willlford, a Bumtet boy at DaVldSOn College, distinguished himself tn the fi< Id day sports Satur? day, lie won first place in 220 yard hurdle race and second place in the 100 \ards dash.
