Tho long eoutrovoi-sy, which baa agl totod. tho Baptists ovor tho Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for two ?yoars, terminated lastwook at Louisville, Ky., by tln> accoptanco by thc Hoard of Trustoos of tho resignation of W. H. Whitsit, D. 1)., tho President of the Sominary. John P. Oreen, 1). 1)., who is now President of WilH.u? Jewel Collego of Missouri, waa eleotod to fill tho va eanoy occasioned by Dr. Whitsit's resig nation. Dr. Green is ono of tho llrst Baptists in tho convention and a man of much ability and learning, lt is to bo b'opod that this chango will check tho fooling that has been indulged ill ovor tho Seminary. And wo beliovo it will if tho denominational pt pers will refrain from unfavorable comment. We rogrot that it is already being said that tho election of Dr. Green is a victory for tho partisans of Dr, Whitsit. It does Boom that there has been a sufficient ad vorso criticism to satisfy all. Dr. (.reen should re?oive tho earnest Christian support of tho whole denomination. SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. Tho Southern Baptist Convention, ono of ?ho largest religious bodies of tho world, which met in Louisville, Ky., last week, has just adjourned. Wo aro happy to note that it' was harmonious and pleasant and feel that much good was accomplished for the cause of Chris tianity. Tho attendance of delegates was 773, not as many as usual. Kx-Gov. W. J. Northen, of Georgia, was elected president of tho convention, and Ex Gov. Eagle, of Arkansas, H. (!. Huoknor, of Texas, Dr. P. II. Korfoot, of Ken tucky, and Challes L. Cuoko, of Vir ginia, wore elected vice presidents, anti ])rs. Lousing Burrows and (). IA Greg ory wore re-elected secretaries. Dr. Carter LT. .Iones delivered an address of welcome and if was responded to by II. S. Malory, of Alabama. Tho session was a profitable ono and was enjoyed by all. Tho disputes, which have, for seve ral sessions, threatened to disturb the quiet of tho Baptist's of tho South, were settled and peace seems af last to rest on and pervade the whole Southland. Tho foro ig U and home mission hoards report that all of their obligations have been met and they are out of debt. The convention seems to havo been more chan usually devoid of speech-making, and one of work and good feeling. The next session of tho convention will be hold at Hot Springs, Arkansas. DISPENSARY WHITEWASHED. People who road the newspapers often see accounts of institutions, both State and national, being whitewashed. A great deal has been written recently about tho war investigating committee whitewashing the management of tho war with Spain, and oven "embalmed beef," it matters not how black and rot ton, has boon coated white, and many found to swear it was sound and healthy. But all these things happened a safe distance from Walhalla, and as wo only read of them in tho newspapers, many of us did not know wbethor they wore so or not, and doubted if there ever was any canned beef anyhow, or whether our anny boys ever saw beef of any kind while lighting tho Dons. But wc have at last seen a big State institution in tho State of South Carolina whitewashed literally and truly whitewashed-right under our own eyes, and that, too, right heio in tho town of Walhalla-tho fam ous capital of Oooneocounty. We would not-wo could not have believed it, had not our own eyes have beheld it, for it has not been thought to be in keeping with tho ideas of reform to whitewash anything. But we can no longer bo de ceived, neither can the people of Coonee bo docoived, if they will only como to Walhalla and seo how nicely our es teemed, popular, moral and temperance institution has been literally white washed by Walhalla's watchful, progres sive and enterprising dispenser, Mr. If. B. Schroder. As wo walked down Main street Wednesday afternoon, wo chanced to seo Uncle Stepney Green deftly plying tho whitewash brush on tho outside of tho house on tho corner of Main and Tugaloo st reets, belonging to every man, woman and child iii Coonee county. Wo halted momentarily to inquire of lindo Stepney what ho was doing, when bo gently reminded us that if any institu tion in South Carolina over needed whitewashing tho nispensary certainly did anti worked right on, as much as to say thc sooner the job was done tim better. Wo give it up, and passed on a wiser, if not sad tier man, as we reflected on tho depths of moral philosophy and wise statesman ship wrapped up in this laconic reply. But, however, this way be, still the fact re m aim* that Uncle Stepney haft literally whitewashed tho dispensary in Walhalla. Where is there .any other colored man who has done so much for tho good of bis State? Whitewash is cheap, but it takes a master hand to apply il to as big a Stato institution as South Carolina's dispensary. Whooping Cough. I had a little boy who was nearly ?lead from an attack of whooping cough. My neighbors recommended Chamberlain's Cough Romody, I did not think that any medicine would help him, hut after giving him a few doses of that romody I | noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him entirely. It is the best cough medicine I ever had in the house.--J. I?. Moore, South Burgotistown, l'a. Kor salo by J, W. Holl, Walhalla; W. .1. Lnn noy, Seneca; II. ii, Zimmerman, West minster. --? .

Tho tears ran down tho chooks of many of tho Votorans and many a voieo that bad rung ont in a wild robol yoll in tho dead ly charge failed utterly to rospond bo eauso of tho crowding omotions that swept each heart. Wo cannot toll of tho wild cheers that grcotod each burst of "Dixie," "The. Ronnie Blue Flag," "Maryland, My Maryland," and tho other war songs that called up tho 1110 morles of tho bravo old days that aro geno. And wo cannot toll of Cordon's matchless response, tho knightly chiv alry of his references to Mouth Carolina's past history, and his masterly marshal ling of tho deeds of tho Scotch Highland Presbyterians, tho Cavaliers and tho Huguenots and tho Swiss, whoso illus trious names crowd thick tho pages of her history and whoso blood has watered the trco of constitutional liberty from < olonial days down. It was Cordon, knightly, suporb, chivalrous, eloquent, and that tolls tho talo. No words of ours can picturo tho scono whoa Mrs. Stonov.Vd Jackson was led on to tho rostrum and presoutod to tho Votorans, nor tho kingly grace and courtesy with which (Jordon shook hor hand in behalf of tho Votorans, and suiting tho action to tho word, said ho was going to hug her in their nmno, too. With ono im pulse they arose ns ono man and shook tho very rafters of tho building with a mighty shout, while all around mon's voices woro choking and their eyes streaming as thoy saw boforo thom the | widow of thc man who brought crowd ing before, their minds thick and fast tho memories of Manassas, thc Valley, tho Seven Days around Richmond, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Frodericksburg, and the last and final chapter at Chan cellorsville, whot'O ho "crossed over tho j river to rest under tho shade of tho trees," hud whoso wonderful career had forever made illustrious on tho pages of history tho martial spirit and military g?nions of our glorious Southland, livery man felt that tho spirit of old "Stonewall" must, bo hovering near, and they would havo been delighted to hoar his command: "Tell As P.
