far superior to what they were e
years ago there is yet much room
for improvement. In summer when

A Definition That is Apropos
The Standard dictionary, pub
lishedg by the Funk end Wag
ualls Company of New York, than
which there ie no higher authority,
gives the following definition of
a bucket-shop : "An ?frico where
people may gamble in fractional
lots of stocks, grain, or other
things which are bought and sold
on the exchanges. The bucket
shop uses the terms and outward
forms of the exchanges, but differs
from exchanges in that there is
no delivery, and no expectation or ?
intention to deliver or receive se
curities or commodities said to be
sold or purchased." The foregoing
is not the opinion or definition of
tho editor of this uewspapor but
the definition given by a corps of
the foremost scholars of the coun
try, who compiled the Standard
dictionary.
Growth of M issioiiarv Spirit.
The missionary spirit is grow
ing not only in Edgefield but
throughout all christendom. When
an appeal is made by a pastor for
the cause of missions a much more
general and hearty response is
mi.de now than was made several
years ago. Th i s is due probably
two causes, to wit : first, to amore
thorough dissemination of mission
ary intelligence which has dis
pelled much of the ignorance that,
prevailed, and, second, lo a gener
al spiritual awakening and quick
ening on the part of prof?asing
Christians. As au example of how
great the "growth in grace" along j
missionary liueahas been we will
give the figures of one church, the
Edgefield Baptist church, which
is probably no ' exception, bul
whose figures we happen to know.
In 1901 tho special Christmas
offering forfoieign missions was
$23.90, in 1902 this special offer
ing amounted to $51.32, in 1903
$95.38, and in 1904 the sum'"of
$120. In four years this special
contribution hat* increased more
than five fold. Doubtless there
are other churches that can show
a greater increase. Let us hope
and work for even greater things
in tho future.
Thc Public Library.
Without any flourish of trump
ets, groat noise or mucb-ado the
ladies who compose the libr.iry
association have labored in sea
fion aud out of season for the up
building of the public library, and
thnir efforts have not been in
vain. While its enlargement has
uot been by leaps and bounds, it
has been steady, standard litera
ture, as well as many of tbalate
books, being anded from time to
time. A greater number of new
books could be added, however, if
the library were more largely pat
ronized by the public geuerally.
The trifle that is charged for the
cards would in the aggregate
amount to a considerable sum
were the books drawn from the
library oftener and by a greater
number of people.
The cozy little room in the Nor
ris building is opon every Tues
day and Friday afternoons. Every
body is cordially invited to visit
the library, and urged to purchase
a card. One of the latest additions
is "The Simple Life" by Charles
Wagner. Think of being able to
read the new books that cos? one
or two dollars for only two cents I
There ought io be a long proces
sion every Tuesdu\T and Friday
waiting for the door to open and
their turu to selpct a book. The
library hus been permanently es
tabhahed in Edgelield but its use
fulness and growth will be largely
determined by the moral and ma
terial support that it receives
from our people.
