The speaker gave graphic descrip-

have gone to their ruin by the road of
rum—Charles Lamb, Edgar Allen Poe,
George Prentiss, and others.
The few young men who attend
church, the fountain and defense of
virtue, was a theme which the speaker
dwelt upon at some length. She gave
statistics showing that 75 per cent of
men between 18 find 40 years go to
church. These are the men who fur-
nish the saloons, the gambling hells
and dance halls. To get these men in-
terested in the works of virtue, fos-
tertal by the church, is the duty of wo-
men, who in this way can wield an
immense infuence.

ing it down. She said there was no
desire to treat saloon men as enemies,
but the business. Alcohol is a narcotic
poison, which, administered in small
quantities produces an appetite for
more of it. The reason the saloon must
be treated as an enemy of the church
and school is because the efforts of
the institution are directed to creat-
ing this appetite, the indulgence of
which destroys character and useful-
ness. The expenditure of money for
this purpose is a waste which should
be had for education.

the coming week exchange will con-

Manchester Cloth Market.
By Associated Press.
Manchester, April 26.—The condi-
tions of the cloth market were not
materially altered last week. Business
was difficult to negotiate, although the
turnover was somewhat improved, ow-
ing to the fact that some severs weak-
ened and were more ready to meet the
terms of buyers. Considerable lines
have been booked for Calcutta at,!
Bombay at a little above the prices of
December. There were numerous of-
fers from China, but most of them
were refused, transactions only being
possible where the necessity of sellers
was urgent. Shippers to some parts
of South America operated more free-
ly last week, but prospects in the Le-
vant are no brighter.
Yarns are slightly weaker. Many
spinners are busy with old orders and
new orders are scarce.

Lieutenant Governor Lee's resigna-
tion is voluntary. Until Saturday he
had not decided what course he would
pursue and declined to say whether he
would resign. After consultation with
his advisers yesterday and today he
decided to withdraw from office and to-
night he announced to his friends that
ne had again become a private citizen.
In speaking of his action he express-
ed &ratification |n laying aside the
cares and responsibilities of office and
remarked that holding a position of
trust was a thankless job at the best.
Mr-,1ee seemed relieved its a result
of his action and expressed no re-
grets over relinquishing office. He de-
clined- to talk of the possibilities of
the grand jury investigation now in
progress, or of what his future action
would be in regard to the inquisition.

Rain Badly Needed.
SPeclai to The Statesman.
Watters Park. April 25.There has
not been evp a shower here since
March 19, and all vegetation is being
badly damaged. Fan oats must have
a good-ruin within a few days or the
straw will be very short and the grail
light, and in many cases the crop will
be a failure. Spring oats will still have
time to recover. Corn is a poor stanq
and is not growing. Cotton planting is
well advanced, and some is up anti
looking well; but a large acreage will
not come up till after a rain.
A reference to the weather record
shows that this month has been the
oryest so far in the past twenty years.
