The legislature of South Car- ' olina convened last Tuesday for the purpose of enacting laws to relieve the present depressed business conditions. Committees have been appointed and there have been various and sundry plans proposed and the capital city has been filled with warm air. iNouiing ueiinite lias been accomplished. A plan_ looking to total eli mination of cotton in South Car- , rr ^ olina in 1915 was very favorably discussed by prominent men throughout the State, and at one time there seemed to be some possibility of such a law being enacted. At this time, however, it seems more likelv that a law to reduce the crop one-third in 1915 will be enacted. As ihe writer sees it this would be worse than no law at all. The people, if let entirely alone, will reduce the acreage at least onehalf, and a law setting the mark at one-third would cause more rnttrtn tr\ ho nlontnrl If ,v> J/IUI1IVU 111UI1 11 llic legislature had not met.

Hasn't he taught the people not i to believe anything they see in the newspapers?"?Gaffnev Led- 1 ger. 1 An eminent Methodist bishop > was advocating a more liberal 1 loosing of the purse strings, and 1 during a sermon one day told : his congregation that at one time he'sent an article to a paper 1 in which he said: "We pray too loud and work too little." The intelligent compositor did a most .satisfying iob. anrt \uhon I it appeared it read: "We bray too loud and work too little." "I let it go at that," said the bishop. "The fact is, I believe the printer was right, and I never ventured to correct him." "How will you have your eggs cooked?" asked the waiter. "Make any difference in the cost of 'em?" inquired the cauti ous customer with the brimless hat and ragged beard. "No." "Then cook them on the top - ~i: ' - vm a suue oi nam," said tde cms- I tomer, greatly relieved. k. N <- ?'

( Ail vertiscir ent) CHURCH NOTES Baptist J. M. Sullivan. Pastor. Not long since we were asked what "Education Fund" as given on he apportionment card meant. We would say this is and should occupy the same place in our giving as that formerly known as "current support of Furinan University." Perhaps we should add that the day or time may come when it will mean more. As we have the Education Commission now and they have the power and may have the funds some time to do even more than look after the current support of Furman. All who are interested in this important fund can find information on pages 75 and 76 of the last State Convention Minutes. A .1 - /Yiiumer new avenue oi usefulness that has opened to us is the new hospital.
