Indications are that the meeting of tuBiness men and farmers to he held in the court house at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon for the purpose of discus sing the proposition of erecting here a grain elevator will be largely at tended, and that ctTorts to be made pt that conference to raise stock sub scriptions to the enterprise will be successful. Reports from every secUou of the county are to the effect that the elevator proposition is hoing dis cussed with keenest interest by farm ers generally, and that they seem wil ling to coptribute to the erection ot a plant here for the holdllng of and creating a market for the grain that is to be produced in Anderson county. The grain elevator meeting will be called promptly at 1 o'clock in the court house. Mr. Ii. F. Mauldln pre siding. The principal talk will be by Judge J. S. Fowler, chairman of the farmers and business men's gram committee of the chamber of com1 merce. There will be several short talks.on the subject by several well known citizens, among them being Mr. S. A. Bunrs, president of the Ander son County Live Stock Association. Members ot the special committee appointed for the purpose of making arrangements for the meeting Mon day stated yesterday that they are highly pleased with the outlook lor the success df . the enterprise. Al ready several farmers and business men -have stopped .by the chamber of commerce and reserved stock in tho proposed company. At thc meeting Monday it is prob able that Mr. W. S. Brock will sub mit Bjme interesting data which he bas received from his brother, who is engaged in the grain elevator busi ness in the aorthwest. A letter re ceived from this gentleman states that Inst year his grain . elevators paid a dividend of 20 per cent, the lowest that has ever been paid. This was sccounted for by the fact that the grain crop in that* section last year was the smallest on record Out there, the letter says, the grain elevators are owned by tbo farmers and no far mer is permitted 'td own more than ?3CC worth of the stock Body of 10-Year-Old Girl Found in Church (By AaaoeUted Pm?.)

ELEVATOR BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION (CONTINUE? FROM PAGE ONE.) nilli villages. Especially do the wo? men workers In the mill villages do a superb welfare work, and the State mission board has become the model of many similar boards in other Southern States in this regard. Ita purely missionary work costs tho convention about $t0,000 yearly. Schools and Colleges. Baptists maintain not only excel lent colleges for both men and women, but a. number of high schools also. An education board litis lately beef, created by tho State convention, whose duty is to have a general over sight of all the convention's educa tional enterprises. The high schools of the Baptists are North Greenville Academy at Tiver ville; Spartan at Ea nd ru ni; Six-Mile in Oconee County; Twelve Mlle in Picken;; County, and Sievern In Aiken County. The colleges are Furtnan University for men; Furman Fitting School, a preparatory school for men: Greenville Femal College, Cokerf Col lege at Hartaville, and Anderson Col lege at Anderson, for women. It is probable that Coker College ia the best equipped and most largely endowed of any denominational school in the State. Major James li Coker, founder of the college, has given about half a million dollars to this institution. It is probable that his donatione arc larger than the gifts of any other individual tn the South to education. All thc Baptist Colleges arc well equipped. Tho churches have tn re cent vears contributed very liberally to education fl enterprises. Greenville Female Col!ttge has used $140.000 In permanent tmprovementa in the last three or four years, and Furman has raised $100,000 for additional endow ment in the last 18 months: The Year's Growth.

Baptist Benevolences. South Carolina Baptists are keenly alive to the humanitarian aide of re ligion, and labor in many fields for tho benefit ot suffering humanity. Tho oldest benevolent institution they baye In the State ts Connie Max well orphanage. located at Greenwood. Mr. B. B. Buell r/ this city is presi dent of the board of trustees of the orphanage, and the Rev. A. T. Jami son is the superintendent This or phanage ls one of the beet equiDped in the South.

It baa electric] light?, sewerage, a hospital, a graded school, a printing office, a laundry, a library, and other modern conven iences. Two hundred and fifty chil dren are there, and from lt hundreds and hundreds have gone out Into thc world, after being raised, educated and trained. The orphanage does not take itft sheltering hand off a pupil till the pupils becomes of age. The ministers of the Baptist de nomination know that the churches are paying quarterly sums to old, needy preachers who have wrought well in the ministry. Dr. C. C. Brown ; of Beaufort ts secretary and treaaur- j er of tho board, and he dispenses something Uko $11,000 a year among 54 beneficiaries. The Baptist Ministers Mutual Bene fit Association is the high-sounding name of a modest association among Baptist preachers. The object of this body ls to help a new-made wid ow when she loses her husband. An assessment of $1 ls led ed upon each member every time there is a death in the membership. Immediately upon the death of a member, the treasurer sends all there is in the treasury to the widow, to help hero In this time of sorrow and need. ' The amount us ually is $125 to $150, and it has as sisted many a poor new-made widow when she knew not where to t^rn. The Baptist hospital, located in Co? lumbla, ls a new thing in the denomi nation. J. J. Gentry, formerly a Spartanburg lawyer, is superintend ent. This will be about the only Bap tist enterprise not reporting a debt in current a fal rs at the coming con vention. The hospital receives fees from patients who are able to pay, and cares for others 1 e. Its fees more than pay open,, ng expenses, and the hospital will report about a thousand dollars "to the good" next week. Local Arrangements.
