Rev. Dr. A. C. Wilkins and Dr. W. H. Timmerman have returned from the State Baptist Convention at Sumter. Dr. Wilkins was one of the few who was pressed into service during the last two months in the effort to secure the Endowment for Furman University, which happily succeeded to the joy of the Baptist denomination and their friends throughout the State. Rov "F! T. Hndores and Prof. ,T. R. T. Major are absent in attendance at the South Carolina Conference at i Greenville. The universal sentiment ip in favor of the return of Mr. Hodge3 for next year. The annual meeting of the Masons, recently held, resulted in the following being elected to serve the lodgdTfor the ensuing year : Col. E. F. Strother, W. M. J. A. Wfaitten, S. W. J. Frank Kneece, J. W. J. R. T. Major, Secretary. E R. Steadman, Treas. Mr. Steadman was sent as dele gate to the Grand Lodge, which met | in Charleston last week. The Lodge here is in a Nourishing condition and maDy of our best people are interested in its work of charity and benevolence. Though somewhat late, we still wish to record the fact that our efficient postmaster, J. Frank Koeece, is happily married. That important event occurred some days ago, when Frank led to the altar, Miss Mattie Clare Crouch, a popular and accomplished young lady of our towD. She is the daughter of W. A. Crouch, and R?v. E T. Hodges pronounced the sacred bonds. The candidacy of Col. John Bell Towill, for member of the State Dispsnsary Board, is of interest to bis many friends?and all wish him success. His known habits of strict temperance will place him above the reach of the gargling samplers and we freely predict that if such men a3 Col. Towill wa^ in control of the system in the State we would 6oon see a change for the better, and we trust that the Legislature will see it in that light. The slogan "only sober men need apply" must be sounded loud and long, or we may again see liquor installed in every high place and a bar-room under every green tree. Rufus Hall, engineer, and J. H Attaway, night watchman, were j both severely burned Saturday night by scaidiDg water escaping from the boilers of the Middleburg mill. Their injuries though exceedingly painful, are hoped to be not necessarily fatal.^ Occasional. Dso. 12, 1903. ? Sow's This.

Monroe Preston, son of Luther Hallman and wife, Edns, was born July 27, 1900, and died November 2, 1903. Age 3 years, 4 months and 5 days. She was dedicated to God in infancy by Holy baptism. Peace to its ashes and rest to its soul. After a funeral discourse by Rsv. W. H. Roof its body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Cedar Grove church. W. H. R. "Sit" and "Set." ? Let us once and for all settle the "sit and "set" question. Contrary to tradition, the hen does not "set." rni 1 11 T> 1 xne nen "Bits. .duc 11 you nave a nen that has laid a dozen .eggs and wants to hatch a brood of chicks, you may "set" her. There are no fewer than eighty-one different meanings of the word "set," while of "sit" there are but twenty-one. The prophet Jeremiah says : "The partridge eitteth on eggs." To sit as applied to men and animals is to "caouch," hence the hen crouches on her nest, or sits on it. Change the school books, which are full of such solecisms as, "The hen sets; does the hen set ? The hen does set." -o "I was afflicted with sciatica," writes Ed C. Nud, Iowaville, Sedgwick Co, Kan., "going about on crutches and suffering a deal of pain. I was induced to try Ballard's Snow Liniment, which relieved me. I used three 50c bottles. It is the greatest liniment I ever used; have recommended it to a number of person?; ali express themselves as being benefited by it. I now walk without crutche9, ablo to perform a great deal of light labor on the farm." 25e, I 1 A/? n i i t nil -rr ? Qua ana $i.uu- ooia oy xne jxauimann Drug Co. ^ - ? ? Zeenan Mill Chartered.

Tokio, Dec. 17?The conference of the elder statesmen of Japan, in-* eluding Marquis Ito, and the cabinet ministers yesterday resulted, according to a semi official statement, in a determination *o oppose a strong front to Russia, in view of the latters unsatisfactory reply to the Japanese proposals. Another report says it is understood that, although the HusBian reply was considered highly unsatisfactory, the conference decided to make another and probably last attempt to arrive at a friendly settlement. The situation is considered grave. 1 11 A ? ? ~ L AV f AV\ A ? JCjVen iue musi euuct dcuijuu ui Japinese press declares it is the time for actioD. Report from the Reform School. J. G.

I find it the most tff^ctive and absolutely harmless." Tfce Kaufmann Drug Co. O ? Taxes Coming In. Out of the 81,022,929.40 which the Sfcste receives from the five mill tax, the State Treasurer has so far gotten about 8140,000. This is rather a small amount, but most of the money does not come in until the last five days of the year. Considerable money is needed, however, the interest on the bonds held in Charleston, Baltimore and New York is due January 1 and it is necessary to have this money due at the destination by that time. This amounts to about 8150,000. As a result of receiving this money early the Slate has been able to take up two notes amounting to about $35,000 and it is the hope of the State officials that it will not be necessary to borrow much more money this year.
