WASTED?PROTECTION Is it possible that the water pres sure at ffroa Is always weak until j after the fire hus done its worst, of do we only hear of thecases where this happens? At any rate, the complaints are of too frequent occurrence not to be taken note of. The home that wus burned yesterday might not ave been Haved, but some of the valuable con tents DiiKht have been. N'earbv homes were endangered, and it is re ported to this paper that the pressure wus so weak that the firemen caught the water in buckets from the noz zle anl poured it on the fire. The standplpe was full and there was u pressure of 50 pounds ut the foot of the standplpe. But the pres sure is weakened a great deal be cause of the, small bore of the mains and because of the friction over the long distance travelled by the water through the small mains. Therefore, in districts remote from the stand pipe, It is necessary to back the natu ral pressure with a force pump at the sub-station of the power com pany. In order to notify the people at the sub-station it is necessary to call them on the 'phone, especially on such a night as that, when the noise of the pounding sieet drowned the clang of the fire bell. The 'phone was uot in working, order Thursday night, and the people, at the sub-station, op duty at the time, heard no call. Fi nally one of them had his curiosity aroused by a peculiar clicking noise the 'phone and upon Investigation lOiind that Chief .?aekson was trying to 'phone him: "'it wus the work of but a moment to turn on,the pumps and thenc there' was adequate pres sure. There Is too frequently something the matter, although there is always some reason, advanced which makes It appear that the company Is not 1 ways to blame. As to that we do not knar.-, but W? do insist that the com pany put lc a" call bell that may he rung from the headquarter* of the flredepartmen> ^snd as soon as the alarm ia given'the fireman who rings the neu at the city hall may at the same time notify the men on duty at the pumpln^ifcatlon. This plan we suggest not,t? take the place of the' one now In, use, but to supplement it, so that th? power house may be notified by the representatives of the city und or the company. We suggest this' as al tempor?r* plan, tb Tog.followed as soon as pr?c-, tlir.Vio ?y, ai lire' afariu, system of the ' latest .'ttfWW^b ..final.. there - may v4k* seme method about reporting irres to the headquarters snd to the pump ing station .Simultaneously. 1 I Fortunately ' eonie . of the trouble will be a?opiat?ca}ly. removed when 'the comapnV. gets its new six inch mains put down, for'these will aug ment the supply and will increase the pressure' in outlying sections of the city about three times. The ma terial for this, has been ordered. Let the work be i,speeded, and let every precaution bo taken to prevent a re oeUtlen of th? occurrence of Friday . ilT?il morning. , .M sah; thi: TREES We call attention to the bill In the legislature t?/.'protect the forests of the State.

The govern ment desires to extend co-operation of this kind to South Carolina, and will allot a lib?ral fund for the pur pose depending, upon the sise of the State's own appropriation.

By their questions and remarks to witnesses, members of the commit tee n?ade it plain that one. of their problems was to connect up a group of so-called dependent States, with a group of States so independent as to make this entire region independent pndcr all normal conditions.

Walter I. Herbert of Sumter dis cussed "What the organized SunHny uOOl movement means for South Carolina." The organized Sunday School Movement In Sumter with this session of the Soutu Carolina interdenomina ional convention, ncaring the close of the fourth decade of usefulness in our state. In the United States the organized for mo fthl grea t movement reaches far back .nto the first half of the 19th century. The records say that in the pring of 1832 (May 23) there was a meeting of the friends of Sunday schools i nthe city of Philadelphia on the occasion of the anniversary of the mcricnu Sunday School Union and also of the meeting of the General As sembly of the Presbyterian church. Fifteen states were represented) in this gathering. They decided to call national convention for the fail of that same year. Accordingly in the city of New York, on October 3, 1832, the first National Interdenominational Sunday School Convention met in Chaltham street chan?i nd was or ganized by the election of Hon. Theo dore Frollnghuysen of New Jersey, as president; William A. Tomlinson and vicn. Williams, vice presidents; Dr. D. M. Reece and J. B. Rrlnsmade, secre taries; "about 220 delegates were en rolled, representing fifteen states, more than one-half of the then Union.". At irregular Intervals but. witbttf-' reasing Interest and enlarged atten dance; five national conventions were held. ' There were in all .338 delegates representing 22 states and one ,terry-' tory of the Union in, attendance .upon tliel flft,h national convention whie.i was held; April 1G-19. 1872. In Indian-. apoTls.P, G. Gillett, LU D., of Ilinols. presiding. It was at this convention that the system of uniform lessons was inau gurated under the leadership of that prince of Sunday school men, Mr. B. F. Jacobs of Chicago. In regard to their discussion of this great uestiOn and Its effect upon the assemblage, the Sun day School Times editorially says: The interest of the convention cul minated as was expected, In the uni form lesson question. To this al most everything seemed to be tending from the beginning of the session. The slkttlrteet aljus?on to the subject ereatd u orer the body,; . . When the s*^*^.?craJ iminuc.

This is one of the beat features of the j organization?that it attracts'all. to gether to study the best methods of accomplishing one great result?the evangelization of the souls of man kind. The past has seen too often "battle royal" between contending de nominations.

Dr. H. M.

The first lo th? iustvutnent; the second the skill'behind tie instru ment; the third the purpose of the,' work." Our state has an int?r?t in each o fthese words. In each c em Is a great volume of meaning which if we are able, by the help of God, to get out "Our sods and our daughters Bhall prophesy, our young men shall see visions and' ear old men shall dream dreams, upon our servants and handmaids sball the spirit of the Lord be proved out a*d they shall prophe sy." See Acts S.17-18- Our people have not given; nor,are they now giv ing that attention to organisation I Which it easily de**rvaa.
