THE
Next Sunday. Oct. 3, will be “Roll
Call Day” at the Methodist Church.
Each member is being asked to be
present to answer his najp'e when it
ia called at the morning service. Those
who cannot be present write, telephone
in some other way, send word, so
that each member may be accounted
for. As the Apostles of Christ were
“all together with one accord in ane
place” when they received the power
of the Holy Spirit so the members of
the Methodist Church are to be “all
together in one place with one ac-
cord” next Sunday in order to have the
power which comes with united ac-
tion.
Our services were well attended last
Sunday and the empty pews are very
rapidly disappearing from our church.
A high water mark was reached at
the morning service. The music is
great and inspiring under the leader-
ship of Mr. Campbell assisted by the
very large chorus of voices. You will
find it a real delight to worship with
us at each of the services next Sun-
day. We invite all who wish to wor-
ship God to meet with us.
J. E. Buttrill, Pastor.
W. M. S. CIRCLES MET

Southern States,
agree that the last
estimate is more than 1,000,000 bales
too high for the entire cotton belt,
and these are to be laid before Secre-
tary Jardine.
“I have received reports from every
j Southern State,” said Mr. Black, “and
| after carefully compiling the estimat-
! es they indicate a yield of nearly 91
1 per cent of the 1925 production in 500
i pound bales, which would show a
j yield of 14,653,730 bales for this year.
| This is 1,157,270 bales less than the
department’s last estimate.
"The last two estimates by the de-
partment resulted in the cotton far-
mer being hit to the tune of about
$18.00 a bale, and it is a condition
which 1, as well as other members of
Congress, from the cotton producing
States, believe should be prevented by
the Government.
Considerable of the trouble, Mr.
Black said, was due to violent fluctua-
tions of the market caused by heavy
sellings by the speculators. The
fluctuations were far beyond the
range of supply and demand and it is
this condition which will have to be
corrected even if it becomes necessary
to close the exchanges, he said.
Says Farmer Helpless
“The answer to those who would
object to such radical remedy,” said
Mr. Black, “is that the farmer can not
possibly be put in a more helpless con-
dition than he is at present. I pro-!
pose to offer bills at the December i
session that will either clean up the
abuses or close the exchanges, also to
do away with the crop estimate ser-
vice of the Department of Agriculture.
The usual result of such estimates is
to furnish food for the speculative
element with which they beat down
the market.
Representative Hammer of North
Carolina, Monday conferred with Sec-
retary Jardine regarding manipula-
tions on the exchanges, and renewed
the charges made at the department
by Mr. Blacic. The Department of
Agriculture is without legal authority
to take steps against cotton exchanges
but this will be sought from Con-
gress at the next session.
Secretary Jardine declared however,
that he would make an effort to have
the exchanges investigated by Con-
gress.—Dallas News.
