Mississippi at the New Orleans
Exposition.
Commissioner Ilenry in his (
outributiou to the New Orleaus (
rimes Democrat’s splendid Mis '
lissippi edition of June 3rd, says: 1
“A state exhibit at a national 1
ixposition is practically a new
piestion with our people, for the
•easou that the legislature has
lever before made sufficient ap
propriation to provide for col
lectiou and installation of au ex
hibit creditable to our State.
“True, two small appropriations
were made before, one of #5,000
for the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia, aud auotlier of 12
500 for the Cotton Exposition at
New Orleans; but the exhibit at
Philadelphia was a disgrace to the
State and the exhibit at New
Orleans, while neat aud attractive
and the best that could be provid
ed with the tnouey, did uot com
port with the history, resources,
products aud wealth of Missis
sippi.”
The exposition at New Orleans
was the greatest exhibit of the
products aud resources of the
Union, by states aud territories,
that the country has ever seen,
and in that exhibit Mississippi
stood on the very front line, peer
to any member of the sisterhood,
aud not only delighting aud as
tonishing her own people, but at
tracting more attention than al
most any exnioit in tne great
buildings from foreigners and the
visitors from other states.
So far as “not comporting with
the history, resources, products
and wealth of Mississippi’’ are
concerned, it on the contrary pre
sented in fine specimens every
tree, fruit, vegetables, grain, tex
tile, a lid iu fact everything that
God or man had planted iu the
State, that civilization craved and
converted to its use. It wjis the
most complete assinblage of a
state’s products and resources
that was ever gotten together, and
was so pronounced by such en
thusiastic Mississippiaus as Jeffer
son Davis, E. C. Walthall, Stephen
1). Lee, Robert Lowry, John M.
Stone and thousands of others.
It gratfled every flississippian
who visited the exposition, and
did not find a single critic among
the State’s press or people.
Jf the present commissioner
can install an exhibit at £t. Louis
that will equal it in extent, ex
cellence and variety of exhibits,
with the advantage of precedent,
that his predaeessor did not have,
he will be fortunate.—Aberden
Examiner.
Never before, in all ttie long
history of the world, was there a
time when the call for educated
men, for trained men, for men of
brains and ability and balance,
was so urgent as it is today. It
will be increasingly so as the days
go on. The man of today who
does not educate his sons and
daughters to the highest extent
uf his ability is condemning them
to levels of mediocrity iu the

Y. Commercial.
But above all eise, keep this iu
mind—the employer and the em
ployed stand equal before the law.
If labor wants to use the injunc
tion, as it did at Omaha, let it do
so. It has as much right to that
weapon ns the employer. Let us
not forget thnt iu this country—
One man who behaves himself
is as good as any man who be
haves himself—St. Louis Chro
nicle. ___

Seasatioaal Religioi.
John Roach Stratton, editor in
( ' v.
ihief of the Seminary Magazine
if the Southern Baptist Theologi*
ial Seminary at Louisville, Ky.,
recently published a pamphlet en*
titled “Ragtime Religion,” which
is a severe arraignment of the
ridiculous forms cf sensationalism
and spectacular farce practiced iu
so many churches these days iu
order to attract curious crowds.
Tiie writer reproduces from two
prominent daily newspapers clip
pings which give some idea of the
methods adopted to draw audi
ences. One of these clippings is
as follows:
In a Chicago sanctuary a pro
fessioual whistler held forth in
the great delight of a large con
gregation, and in New York a
supposedly orthodox preacher,
who characterized baptism as a
“fake” aud a “barbarism,” was
widely applauded, some of his
hearers jumping to their feet and
waving liymbooks after the style
of political conventions
Another clipping reads:
Peoria will have a religious
theater! Rev. G. H. S. lias rent
ed the coliseum and will begin
with stereopticou and brass baud!
He lias in contemplation a religh
ous drama to present the gospel
in such a way as shall win the
people.
Mr. Stratton’s comments 0,1
these religious circuses are quite
severe. He takes the position
that such methods are a shameless
surrender to the worse tendences
of the times. That is true. The
house of God is uo place for a
vaudevill show aud should not be
outraged bv sensations aud exlii
bitions of.a degenerate taste which
will sooner or later lead to such
performances as rope Walktbff
gymuatic exercises, skirt dancing
and a variety of “stunts” that
have uothiug in common with the
praise of the Creator. $ays Mr.
Stratton:
When the present brass-band
whistler-stereopticou religious dra
ma programme has lost its
novelty, how will our dear breth
ren draw’ the multitude, save by
a stiffer stimulation pf the appe
tite for the startling, the curious
and the outre?
He lays the responsibility large
ly at the door of the pulpit which
is far too often uuprepared to in
struct, the people as they should
go, and impress them with the
true iifltur.e and objects of Christi
anity. The pamphlet sets forth
some truths that are well worth
thinking over. What the writer
calls “ragtime religion” is noth
ing more than a fad, a temporary
cra2e which cannot be of any
permanent help in regulating the
lives and consciences of men. The
soouer it is abolished through the
iufiueiice of a strong and instruc
tive pulpit, the better for the pub
lic generally. It is not surprising
that one often hears the question,
why this or that preacher who is
inclined to cater to such a taste to
keep up his congregation--* does
not occasionally try the Bible on
bis hearers?—Birmingham News.

Farmer’s Institutes.
below we publish a letter from
President J. C. Hardy of the A.
& M. College in which the faculty
of that institution tenders their
services to the farmers as insti
tute conductors. One of these
institutes "'as held last year at,
Uunfcown and the dUenssions en
gaged in covered a wide range of
subjects in which our farmer
friends are directly interested.
Such meetings and discussions are
both entertaining and instructive
and we would be glad to know
that the county will be favored by
one or more of the institutes.
Prof. Hardy’s letter follows.
Dear Sir :
Commencement being over, we
are now giving our attention to
the fanners’ Institute programme
a_a. a t . t
iui Lino oummm, aim nits ai’iau^v
lug definite dates tor the same.
Please give notice to the people
of your county that they can have
from two to three institutes free
Of all cost by applying to the
President of the A. & M. College.
Preference will be giveu to the
committees of the county sending
in the largest petitions asking for
an institute. We would like for
the petitions to state what subjects
the people of the community
would like to have emphasized;
whether dairying, live stock,
trucking, disease of animals and
plants, fertilizers, or general agrF
culture, and also about what time
iu july or August would suit.
The campaign for the summer
will close with a round up Farm
ers institute and Industrial Con
vention here at the college the
latter part of August. We will
have with us upon that occasion
some of the leading agriculturists
of this country. The railroads
will give oue fare round trip, and
a pleasant time 'is promised all
who come and all are iuvited.
The exact date will be fixed later.
Thanking yon Iu advance, I am,
Kespecuuiiy,
