The many handsome buildings in which exhibits were placed that were erected at a cost of $15,000, 000 were sold a few days ago to a Chicago house wrecking company for $286-000. It aeems ' that damage seekers have let up on the railroads for a time and are paying their respects to the telegraph companies. "Men tal anguish" suits, as they are called, now appear upon almost every civil calendar. People who in the past were not thought to be Busceptble of apaugor heart-ache now suffer a thousand deaths, so. set forth in their complaints, from 'mental anguish." Nothing daunted by the over whelming defeat of the Hammond - county project, the citizens of cer tain portious of Aiken and Edge fieJd counties are endeavoring tb form a newcouuty known as Hey ward county. A petition and . other necessary papers have been filed with the governor who will probably take some action at au early day. Governor Hey ward alao has under consideration the McCormick couuty matter. As between theso two proposed new counties it seems to he a case ol "pull Dick, pull D-3V?1," and let U? hope that "Dick" and the 1'Devil' will defeat each other. The eudden decline in the pric< of cotton, resulting from th^heav] receipts and the government esti mate which placed the crop at th record-breaking figures of 12,162. " 000 bales, will result in a heav; loss to the south. There is som lonao?ation, however, in .'th ??j-_ bank notes were paid. The grea jejfcpfctlie* f armer s wh o go i r t to make their cropB-spend mg it before it is made-realizec good prices because they wert forced to sell in order to meei pleasing obligations. The heavi ?at losers will be those who are ii, .aa/ circumstances, in a position to hold for, as they thought, SD advance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been lost, should the price not advance, ,by the f armera in the territory adjacent to Augusta. Over 90,000 bales ?re now stored in the warehouses of that city. ; Mr."C S". Folk, of Denmark, who was high in authority in al liance eil clea when that now de funct organization waB in the ?enith of ita power-and glory, if you please-suggests that the "Alliance Exchange Fund," amounting to about $18,000, be donated to the white orphanages in thia state. This would be a Very happy solution of (his vexa tions matter which is now and has been for some months, in the courts. As one of the orphanages has been twice visited by disas trous fires recently, being especial ly in need of funds at this time, find aB the others need money to further enlarge their work this *nnA-would be a-God-send to thom . JOHNSTON. 'Bishop Duncan's Jeremiade igainst women, and women's ?lubs wat? coubtless to the paint iddressed to women of that kind, but as men make and enforce laws why are such things allowed.

We have heard of quite a number who are sadder if wiser over their, losses. The Club women of our State are working for a Reformatory, for youug criminals, and the Co lumbia State says the men had as well give up aud let them have it. Miss Lula Boatwright was mar ried toa Mr; Page of Chicago on Thursday last. Bishop L. A. Cooper and fami ly will arrive next week and Johns ton Baptist church rejoices over a pastor. The women propose that he shall not find an empty pantry on his arrival. Mr. J. H. Brown spent several dayB last week in Laurens OB a witness in a lawsuit. Mrs. W: J. Hatcher after a long visit to relatives in Atlanta re turned on Sunday. Mrs. Jamos While and Miss Zena Payne have returned from Ornngeburg whpre they have been as representatives of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy. ' Cold Spring. The Baptist State convention has just closed oue of th-? bes: sessions of its history. Ghenter was easily reached by railroad, hence we had a large delegation. The re ports of the different boards were encouraging, and. showed an in crease, of twenty five per cent over last year. D-. R. .J. Willingham the secretary and treasurer of the Foreign Mission Loi.rd told the convention what the board was doing through our missionaiies on Foreign fields. Thirty five new missionaries have been appointed since last May. He is auxious to have one hundred new men ou the field by next May. The Lord is opening the field and giving us the money. We 6bould pray that men would be willing to give them? selves to this great work. Dr. Gray Of Atlanta is the secretary and treasurer of the Home Mission board...This state is asked to gm fifteen thousand dollars this year There are more than six hundret missionaries working under thu board this year. For quite a num ber of years there has been no aid given to this state from the Hom* itission: This was the "best reporl that has eyer been ..offered*.-before *bo^iw#^oi^?^^port showt that there has been one conversion for every $14.17 contributed; one baptism for every $19.53 contrib uted; and one addition to a mis siou church for every nine dollars and fifty five cents contributed. This is a good showing. We have in Dr. T. M. Bailej''an ide.al secre tary and treasurer. The Orphanage and aged ministers both made re ports. Furman University is - gpt ting nearer the people than ever before. Our President Dr. Poeteat, is a'nxious and we believe will succeed .tn bringing this great school before the masses of the great Baptist host. "When this is done we Bhall find that another building will have to be erected to accommodate the your.g men. Edgefield association was repre sented by brother Orlando Shep pard, L. F. Dorn, C. E.
