" In the primary of the 2Sth of August quito a number omitted to vote for State Senator from mere over-sight and the furtherjfact that there was no place on the tickets printed for the name of a candi date for this office. All things considered, 1871 votes for Col. Watson is avery handsome record, a vote which so far as we know did not have a single day's canvassing or work behind it on the part of the nominee. Here is a schoolboy's definition of eternity: When our ships all come in ; when the sea gives up her dead ; when Father Time hangs up his scythe; when the heavens are rolled up like a scroll ; when Ga briel blows the ram's horn ; when the solar system collapses; when we find the lost Charlie Ross and the man who struck Billy Patter son; when Johnny gets his gun; when society becomes pure, and "after the ball is over"-then will be eternity. Col. Ingersol once called upon the Rev. Philips Brooks and the great preacher received him at once, althoagh he had declined to see many distinguished preachers. "Why have you shown me this marked distinction?" inquired the Colonel. "The reason is simple," replied Mr. Biooks: "If those preachers die I'll be Si?*? to meet them in heaven ; whereas, had you gone away and died I should never have met you again. I thought I had better take no chances." In the presence of Jones, a neigh bor complained that his negroes were eating up more than he was making, and he expected to lose money.

Why, they just sits down and stuffs and eats, and don't quit chawin' and eatiu' and stuffin' until their durn little bellies meets under the table.

The members of Mountain Cn have never had a better occasi cn which to display their go old-fashioned hospitality than tl afforded them during the sessi of the Edgefield Association, ct vening at that church during li Wednesday, Thursday, andFridi and like the kind and genere people that they are, delighted contributing to the happiness their guests, and supplying thi wants. Our town was well represent? there being in attendance Dr. L. Gwaltney. Dr. F. R. Timmoi Rev. John Lake, Messrs. Luth Bell, J. A. Schenk and his daug ters, Messrs. James Bacon, Jain Dorn, Arthur Brunson, John Tompkins, Mrs. Ida Sheppard ai family, Misses Florence Adar and Gertie Strom. The o?J. landmark, Mouuta Creek Church, will soon be vacate and the substantial new church process of erection on the san grounds will replace it. We ui derstand that this new church wi be dedicated in about two month The Association throughout wi one of interest, being as is intern ed, a great means of educating ti people, seeping them informe about the great departments ( Christian work throughout the d< nomination. The one missing link in the con plete and satisfactory enjoymer of the occasion was the absence o account of illness of Rev. J. I Mealing and G. W. Bussey, two c our most noble and widely be loved ministers. These brethrei have seldom before failed to glad den the hearts of their many dea friends during these meetings o the Association. Everyone love them, but it is not well to dwell a length on this sad incident of thi occasion. We will endeavor, mon in detail, to give a synopsis of thi exercises. On Wednesday morning, the de votional exercises were couductec by Mr. W. H. Yeldell, who actec a3 moderator during tho businesf sessious of the Association. Thi introductory sermon was delivered by Rev. Pinckney Blalock, the text having been selected from St. John 9:4, "I must work the works ol him that sent me, while it is day ; the night cometh when no man eau work." In this discourse Bro. Blalock displayed wonderful im aginative ability, the charm of his speech being often radiant with flowers of rhetoric. Being without physical sight, .his spiritual per ception is the more penetrating. Bro. Blalock was only present one day at Mountain Creek, as he was carrying ou a meeting cf great in terest at Liberty Hill, and found it necessary to be there. The visiting brethren were A. J. S. Thomas, of Greenville, in the interest of the Baptist Courier; Dr. Bailey, of Greenville, secretary of the State Mission Board; Capt. Patrick, of Anderson ; Prof. Cook, of Furman University; Rev. Mr. Hartzog, of Bamberg, principal of the Bambevg Baptist High School, and Mr. Vass, of Greenwood. The address of welcome was made by Rev. J. L. Ouzts, the pas tor of the Mountain Creek Church, in behalf of the church; Dr. L. R. Gwaltney replied for the Associa tion. In the afternoon the report on the orphanage was read by Rev. J. L. Ouzts, and the subject being open for discussion, Mr. Vass ad dressed the Association. The re port on Home Missions was read by Mr. S. E. Freeland. ThiB de partment of the work was consid ered and freely presented i: different aspects by Rev. Pine Blalock, Capt. Patrick, and Mr. Hartzog. The Thursday morning se convened at 9:30 o'clock, Rev Hartzog leadiug in the devot exercises. The State Missio port having been read by Mr. Freeland, Dr. Bailey made an dress on this subject. He exp ed himself as feeling a pee tenderness for the Edgefield J ciation, having been conn? with it in 1856, and having baptized into the fellowshi] Gilgal Church. By virtue ol position Dr. Bailey is more ab see the progress of the Mas kingdom in our State than other man connected with hii partment of the work. Ha the whole State as a field for labors, he can overlook and ai tain the condition of affairs a other man can. He believes the world ie growing better, worse. The work of State Miss: is progressing, not retrograd When the first efforts were m to this end, there was but one i interested in State M?SB?OUS. 11 must not despise the day of SE things." Now there are emplo in the service of the State Misf Board nearly one hundred n In seven years there have been i tributed in South Carolina $36, worth of Bibles and religious erature. This is a reading age, i the man who doesn't read is go to be left behind. If we do place in the hands of our child the elevating and ennobling, great adversary of God and n will poison their hearts and mi] with the trashy and degradi Missionary work is the prim work of the board. We desire t no child in the State, hav reached the age of accountabil who if God should call him pass through the "valley of shadow of death" could say in language of David "No man hi car<-d for my soul." The author of all mission work whether home or in foreign lands, is baf on the last command of our Savio "Go ye, therefore, and teach all i fion6, baptizing them in the na of the Father and of the Son a of the Holy Ghost:" ''Teaching them to observe things whatsoever I have co manded you. And, lo, I am wi you always even unto the end the world." There are 86,000 Baptist in Sou Carolina exceeding by 16,000 a other denomination, and yet the are vast section B of her terri to where there are no Baptist churchi The great responsibility therefoi is upon us, for che salvation of t people of our own State. The usual missionary sermi was delivered by Dr. L. R. G wa! ney. The verses of scripture us< for the subject of his discourse a found in Psalms 2:8, "Ask of m and I will give thee the heath* for their inheritance and the utte most parts of the earth for tt possession," and Revelatioi 11:15, "The kiugdoms of th world have become the kingdon of our Lord and his Christ; an he shall reign forever and ever, Dr. Gwaltney said : "The Becon Psalm is Messianic and pointin to the Lord Jesus Christ, gives th promise of the Father to his bc loved Son. John in Revelation refers to the final consummatio; and fulfilment of this promise." The afternoon session was mad the time for the discussion of edu cation. This subject was mad very interesting, being presente* in its different bearings by a num ber of the brethren. It was sug gested by Rev. A. J. S. Thomas tha a prayer be offered up for brethrei J. P. Mealing and G. W. Bussey This prayer wa6 made by Dr. T. M Bailey. The dev >tional exercises of Fri day morning were conducted b} Mr. Evan Morgan, after which the report on Foreign Missions wat read and adopted. Mr. J. C. Morgan of Parksville, made a speciall) interesting and practical talk or this all important ?ubject. Rev J. L. Ouzts also addressed the As sociation. Temperance was the principal theme of the afternoon. Mr. Evau Morgan and Rev. John Lake gave great interest to the subject by their affecting and eloquent re marks. Under the next item of busi ness, periodicals, Mr. L. F. Dorn made a few practical comments re lating to the American Baptist Publication Society. The last topic tobe discussed was that ol the aged ministers relief fund, This is a comparatively new de partment of work in our denomi nation, but those desiring infor mation were fully convincod of its significance and importance after hearing Rev. J. L. Ouzts, who judging from his skill in present ing the subject has been making it a careful study. The Association adjourned to convene again at Rehoboth Church in 1895. MORTGAGEE'S SALE.
