ARE STILL DIVIDED
Baptists of the State Have F'ailed
to Agree on Proposed
Terms of Peace.
To The Editor:
The undersigned recording sec
retaries of the Arkansas Baptist
State Convention were instructed
by said convention to furnish cop
ies of the following *‘amendment’’
to the “Peace Committee’s Ke
port,” to the press of the State:
The General Association agreed
to the six propositions as accepted
by us including these two condi
tions; First, the immediate disso- ;
lution of the General Association,!
and. Second, the merging of the
two papers upon the adoption, by
this convention, of the six propo
sitions. But the General Associ
ation afterwards made it impossi
ble for it to comply with the first
of these conditions, for in plain
violation of its agreement to dis
solve as soon as the convention
should adopt the six propositions,
it voted to continue its organiza
tion another year anyway, and in
structed its executive committee j
to continue its work as hereto-:
fore.
The editors of the Landmark
Baptist have declared that they
will not stand by the agreement to ;
merge the papers unless they arc
allowed to interpret the six prop
ositions to mean what they do not
at all they say, thus injecting oth
er conditions than those agreed
to. They say in the Landmark
Baptist, that the only interpreta
tion of the six propositions which
they “will tolerate for one mo-;
ment” is one that means,(1) the a
doption by the convention of the
principles of the (General Associa
tion. (2) “The surrender by the
convention of all thing; peculiar
to the organized work,” and (3)
the withdrawal by this convention
of all co-operation with the South
ern Baptist Convention.
The correspondence between the
committee will show that this com
mittee has never agreed, and
could never agree, to the adoption
of the principles of the General
Association, some of which are
manifestly unscriptnral, nor to the
surrender of “all things peculiar
to the organized work.” The cor
respondence also shows that they
agreed to our acceptance of those
propositions with our avowed and
plainly expressed intention of con
tinuing in co-operation with the
Southern Baptist Convention.
The people who organized the
General Association are themselves
responsible for the present divis
ion of our people. Unwilling to
abide by the oft expressed will of
an overwhelming majority of this
convention, they went out from us
and organized the opposing body.
Now they make themselves re
sponsible for the continued divis
ion, and whatever strife may re
sult from it, by refusing to abide
by their own agreement, so that
no action that this convention
could take would make present
union possible. Therefore we re
commend the adoption of the fol
lowing resolutions:
First, That we invite all the Bap
tists of Arkansas to co-operate
with us on the old time baptist
principles and practices of co-op
eration lor which this convention
has always stood, which are iden
tical with those prevailing in all
the district Associations all over
the land, and in other state organ
izations—those principles and
practices under the operation of
which God has so ambundantly
blessed us in the years gone by.
Second, That, while we regret
the departure of any of our breth
ren from this convention and its
work, still we recognize their right
to work upon any plan that may
seem best to them, and shall pray
the blessings of God upon any
good that may be done by any who
may not see tit to co-operate with
us.
Third. That the Baptist Advance,
and the Landmark Baptist be re
quested to give this paper imme
diate publication, and that the re
cording secretaries furnish a copy
to the daily and weekly papers of
the state, and request that they
publish it. \Y. F. Dorris,
L. E. Finney, (
Recording Secretaries of Arkan
sas Baptist State Convention.

Cured Consumption.
Mrs. B. Evans, Clearwater,
Kan., writes: “My husband lay
sick for three months. The doc-j
tors said that lie had quick con
sumption. We procured a bottle
of Ballard's llorehound Syrup,
and it cured turn. That was six
years ago. Since then we have al
ways kept a bottle in the house.
We cannot do without it. For
coughs and colds it has no equal.”

Uncle SifenTs Army Of Oirls,
From At o’clock in the morning
until el</se to 6 o’clock in the eve
nin<r there are 5,000 typewriters
grinding out letters for the United
Stetes government. During these
hours there are, of course, 5,000*
typewriter girls busily hammer
ing the machines.
Uncle Sara is the largest emp loy
er of typists in the country, and j
should be the patron saint of the
typewriter girl. The amount of
manuscript his workers turn out
would make even Clyde Fitch
look dizzy.
\\ henever a new typewriter
girl is employed in one of the de
partments, she names the machine,
and it is purchased for her.—St.

Snaps.
In spite of what people say
there are a great many snaps in
Arkansas. A man that sits on an
easy chair and lives on the inter
est of other people’s money has a
snap. A man that visits his best
girl and gets tangled up with her
daddy's dog is subject to snaps. A
man who has a dear little wife of
the Carrie Nation design often
finds himself in a snap. Then we
have snap beans and ginger snaps,
two of the best fruits that was ev
er raised or lowered in a truck
patch. The snap of snaps, how
ever, is the cold snap. We dread
to see a cold snap come stalking
1 down the road, just as bad or a
little badder than any newspaper
1 man we are acquainted with. We
know how a newspaper man has
to stand around during cold weath
er with nothing on but clothes.
We know how a newspaper man
feels when his teeth get the best
of him on a cold day, and com
jnience chattering like a snare
drum. This is a cold old world—
I in the winter time.

$2,090,000 PER DAY
Cotton Exports For October Reach
the Enormous Total of
$60,283,412.00.
Washington, November 21.—
Two millions of dollars a day is
a snug sum for the total receipts
from the sale of a single agricul
tural product in a single country,
even such a country as the United
States. This is the figure shown
by the department of commerce
j and labor, through its bureau of
statistics, is the value of cotton
! exported from the United States
in the month of October, 1903.
The preliminary statement of
the bureau for the month of Octo
ber shows the value of cotton ex
ported in the month of October to
be $00,283,412, against $42,000,
000 in October, 1902; $40,000,000
in October, 1901, and $00,474,437
in October, 1900. The total quant
ity exported in October, 1903, as
shown by this preliminary state
ment, was 594,540,872 pounds, be
ing an average price of 10.1 cents
per pound.
J his figure of $60,000,000 re
ceipts for cotton in a single month
is not equaled in the history of
cotton exports except in the month
| of October, 1900, when the total
value of cotton exported was $60,
474,407. Even the figures of $60,
283,412 for the month of October,
1903, arc subject to a slight pros
i pective increase, as this prelimina
ry statement of the bureau of stat
istics does not include the figures
of certain distant ports, through
which small quantities are export
ed.
It should not bo understood
from the above statement that the
value of cotton exports of the Un
ited States averages $2,000,000
per day the year around, although
they have averaged $2,000,000 per
day during the month of October.
Taking the entire year, it may bo
said, however, that tho value of
cotton exports now averages $1 ,
000,000 per day for each business
