While driving to Harmony chnrch on last Saturday, attending the funeral of Mr. John Kenney, Maj. R. S. Ander son was thrown from his buggy and the small bone of his right arm broken.' The accident occurred about two hun dred yards beyond the Huiet X Roads, where the road is very narrow with a deep ditch on one side. Meeting an ox cart at this narrow place in the road, Maj. Anderson inadvertently drove too near the ditch and his buggy ca reened and fell over into it, and but for his great presence of mind and ac tivity no doubt we would have had a much moi'fe serious, if not fatal, acci dent to chronicle. As it is Maj. Ander son is not much hurt and is gettingon nicely. "Cherry Ripe" at the "Luray'^.a most delightful drink. A Mamino' V Establishment. The business of Messrs.

Clerk of Court John B. Hill, Laving a little curiosity to hear from the Klondike country, ad dressed a letter to the "Governor of Alaska." The following is the Governor's reply : ' . DISTRICT OF ALASKA, } EKECUTIVE OFFICE, > SITKA, Sept. 3, 1897. ) John B. Hill, Esq., Edgefield, S. C., Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of Aug. 10th, I would say that the newspaper reports of the discovery of gold in the Klondike are for the most part true. At present the rates by steamer from San Francisco to Dyea are, 1st class $48, 2nd class $29. Dyea is the head of ocean navi gation. From Dyea the route is over a pass of twenty-nine miles to Lake ?Linderman. From Lake Linderman by a system of rivers and lakes to the Klondike. In all from Dyea to the gold field is a distance of about six hundred miles. A man should take in an outfit to last a year. Packing over the pass is $15 per hundred. Miners receive from' $10 to $15 per day. Very sincerely, JOHN G. BRADY, Governor of Alaska. H. J. Porter & Co. There is no more attractive store in all Augusta than that of H. J. Porter & Co.

Selah ! Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic Cutes Fever In One Day. The Edgefield Baptist Associa tion. HEARD AT THE ASSOCIATION. Bro. Orlando Sheppard: 4iAny system of education which failB in developing the spiritual nature is a failure. Right spiritual train ing can ve get for our children at Furman University, Greenville Female College and Cooper Limestone Institute." Bro. R. N. Pratt: "The rewards of religion are in the next world, but its refining and elevating effects are for this world." Dr. M. M. Riley: "Books are the least part of what boys and girls learn at school. They oome into contact with their teachers and schoolmates and others, and thiB is a large part of their educa tion." Dr. T. M. Bailey: "There is a class of men and women who extol God's mercy at the expense of his justice. Truly did Dr. Hall say: 'A God all mercy J s a God unjust.'" R.N.Pratt:- "Our religion is constructive, not destructive. We rid ourselves of the power of fleshly nature by building up the spiritual life. A surgeon's knife is sometimes necessary, but a diet of surgeon's knives would not be very good foi the constitution." Bro. Orlando Sheppard : "Stale schools, constituted as they are, never have and never can develop the highest type of Christian citizenship. The State should be supported by her citizens and not the citizens by the State." Special Agent R. N. Pratt: "When you can show me that the faculty of any other institution in South Carolina is superior to that, in Furman University, I will yield roy contention that you cannot get the minds of your sous better trained anywhere else in the State ; not before." Dr. T. M. Bailey: "Our country is being flooded with literature, much of which is trashy, and a great deal of which is vile and debasing. To counteract this colportera should be put into the field to'place into the homes of the people books which will be elevating. It is a hopeful sign that there hove been more Bibles and Testaments circuiat-ed among Baptists in our State during the OUR GREA' COLLECT1C Of Clothing, F Hats and scores Boys Dress is a rama in the rapii the interest char chandise is alw: that makes '"te: say, but not mer Our present terprise.

Dr. Bailey : "One reason some men neglect the Bible is that they do not like to read a book which condemns their lives. You cannot become a student of the Bible and lead a life that a is dishonor to God and a disgrace to humanity." Bro. P. H. Bussey : "Both whites and Negroes sell whiskey unlaw fully in Edgefield county. Who informs against a blind tiger? No one. We need to build up a strong sentiment against whiskey for the sake of our boys and homes." Hon. W. J. Talbert: "What are our churches doing agaiust whis key? They may say prohibition does not prohibit, but I say it does prohibit. It will not prohibit when people have not manhood to rise up and make it prohibit. How many church members go to church every meeting day with fumeB of whiskey on their breath? When you get the church right it will not be so hard to deal with the world." Bro. G. W. Bussey: "Public sentiment grows upon, comes out of, private sentiment. To get a pure public sentiment on whiskey, let us cultivate a pure private sentiment." Dr. Bailey: "I spent twelve months of my life in a prohibition State-the State of Iowa-and I D6ver saw a drunken man. If the Christian people of South Carolina will unite against whiskey they can put it down." ASSOCIATIONAL NOTES. Rev. J. P. Mealii.g is the pastor of probably the oldest Baptist church in upper South Carolina. This is Horn's Creek church of Edgefield Assciation. Horn's Creek church was organized In. 1768. by a presbytery sent out hom the- old First church of Charleston. The records of the church show that the British and Americrn troops worshipped with the congregtion during the Revolutionary war. The troops were going from Cambridge to Augusta. The opposing troops did not meet with the old church on the same Sunday, however. There ?B also an interest in?< tradition that a lady rode horse back from Charleston, 125 miles, to be present at the constitution of the church. Bro. John Lake, of Batesburg, was a visitor at the Association. Bro. Lake is at home anywhere among Edgefield Baptists. He is re joicing over the glorious meeting 8 the Lord has given his churches. There have been about forty additions to his three churches as a result of recent revivals. The first semon ever preached by Rev. T. M. Bailey, D. D., as a Baptist minister, was at Gilgal church in 1856, from the text, "But one thing is needful, and Mary has chosen that good part." There wore four divisions to the sermon : What is this one needful thing? Why is it needful? To whom ?B it neeful? and when is it needful? Hon. W. J. Talbert, who was chosen by cur State Convention last fall to represent the Baptists of South Carolina in the national anti-whiskey meeting, held in WasfiiDgton last spring, spoke instructively to,the Associa tion about the work done there. He said that it was shown at this convention that the whiskey men of the North in convention assembled passed a resolution saying that it was the sense of that convention that they would do all in their power to cultivate in young men a taste for whiskey. Bro. A. S. Tompkins, a well known lawyer of Edgefield, made a strong address against the carrying of concealed weapons. He cited the case of a bright young mau of the county who but a day before was ruthlessly killed by a pistol fiend. Ha called on the preachers to preach against this evil and the good women to use their influence against it. Two ot the most lovable and useful menbers of the Association are Bro. and Mrs. J. C. Morgan, of Parkoville. Besides being liberal in their gifts and helpers of every good work, this devoted couple have raised several orphan children in their home. They uow have two orphans with them. I sub mit that, as worthy as our orphan iutitutionB are, the most touching' blessed and efficient orphanage of all ?B of the kindprcvided by thiB godly pair. They a.e al?o liberal supporters of Connie Maxwell Orphanage. In their friendship to The Courier they yiold precedence to cone. Mrs. Morgan has yet on hand files of the Work ing Christian. May the Lord give the world many 6uch as they. Bro. P. P. Blalock made a touch ing address at the Association about Woman'* Missionary work. "As I haye looked out on thi? urnishing Goods, Neckwear, of other items of. Men's and museum in interest and a pano dity and certainty with which iges. This being so, the mer rys full of the sort of vitality resting talk-gossip, you will ely gossip, news, real news, bargains represent art and en oods came under the old tariff, ide Sam expects liberal rev various lines we now offer at GUSTA.GA. congregation today," began tb*3 servant of the Lord from whom nature's light is cut off. Remem bering himself, he added, "I mean with my soul," Before closiug he" drew a beautiful picture of the bleassed land beyond in which the blind shall see. Thus it ever is; the soul, weary of life's limitations, delights to think of the celestial city where imperfections and failures are no more. Cupid is accustomed to getting in a good day's work at the associations, among those of the younger persuasion, though his activit?s at our religious meetings art; allowed only by courtesy, the little god having no recognized place in our denominational activ-' ities. But his manipulations are usually tentative and prospective rather than finished ula avowed, on such occasions. But he overstepped his usual bounds at the Association on Thursday, when Rev. G. W. Bussey was put in requisition to unite in matrimony Mr. John Griffis and Miss Fannie Bussey, both of Edgefield county. We wish the bright couple all joy, but trust that our girls and boys in general may force cupid to conform to more conventional rules. They are better.-V. I. M., in Baptist Courier. Not Too Suddenly.
