BAPTISTS A GREAT PEOPLE.
Some Things Don? ut Recent Conven
tion in Bennottsville.
At the State Convention of Bap
tists held in Bennettsville the vari
ous boards made excellent reports,
indicating the substantial growth ot'
the denomination in this State.
During the year Baptists contrib
uted $50,000 to foreign missions;
$40,000 to home missions; $42,000
to State missions; $30,000 to or
phanage work; $9,000 for aged min
isters; besides the cost of maintain
ing the 1,000 local churches, a vast
amount for building new houses of
worship and the like.
Forty-live thousand dollars was
given to Greenville Female College;
$40,000 to Anderson College; $15,
000 to Furman University: $6?,000
to Coker College, and smaller
amounts to Orangeburg College, and
the five high schools of tho conven
tion during 1913.
Tho convention heartily re-endors
ed the proposed Baptist hospital,
which is to be located In Columbia,
and authorised the trustees to go
ahead and establish tho Institution.
Thirty thousand dollars is already In
hand for the purpose, and there ls
much more promised.
The convention asked the churches
for $25,000 cash for Greenville Fe
male College by January 1st; for
$7 5,000 for Furman University by
July 1st; for $2,000 for the Theo
logical Seminary during tho next
year; $15,000 for the education
board; $10,000 for ministerial edu
cation In Furman; $150,000 for mis
sions; $30,000 for orphanage; $10,
for aged ministers, and appropriate
amounts for other religious objects.
A gift of a $10,000 house for aged
ministers was received from C. C.
Brown, the house being located in
Beaufort, overlooking the sea. It is
expected that ministers temporarily
resting will also make their home
there.
The Baptist Convention employs
nearly 150 missionaries-men and
women- In South Carolina. There
are more than 1,000 churches, and
about 900 preachers.
The convention next year will meet
in Charleston.
Croup and Cough Remedy.
Croup is a terrible disease. It at
tacks children so suddenly they are
very apt to choke unless given the
proper remedy at ohce. There is
nothing better in the world than Dr.
King's New Discovery. Lewis Cham
berlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes
about his children: "Sometimes in
severe attacks we were afraid they
would die, but since we proved what
a certain remedy Dr. King's New Dis
covery is we have no fear. Wo rely on
it for croup, coughs and colds." So
can you. 50c. and $1. A bottle

Small l?oy Killed at Nowl>crry.
Newberry, Dec. 17.-Zeddio Berry,
9-year-old son of Ed Berry, of New
berry, was run over and fatally in
jured at 8.30 this evening by an au
tomobile driven by Chalmers Brown,
son of Dr. W. C. Brown, who lives in
this county. Young Brown was ar
rested, but was exonerated by the
coroner's jury and then set free.
The little victim was in a drug
store and dashed out into the street
just as young Brown drove up in the
automobile. Though the machine
was going very slowly and young
Brown seemed to he driving very
carefully, he was unable to stop In
time, and the car struck the little
boy, inflicting injuries from which he
died about an hour later.
James Smith Woodhouse, of Birse,
Aberdeen, who is 85 years of age, is
still living in the same house in
which ho was horn, and sleeps on the
same oak bedstead on which he first
saw the light. Ile is very active for
bis age, and is a keen gardener.
HELPFUL WORDS
From a Walhalla Citizen.
Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer
tion?
Is there a soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
if so, there danger In delay.
Weak k'dneys get fast weaker.
G've your trouble prompt atten
tion.
Donn's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recom
mend them.
Read this Walhalla testimony:
R. D. Oelkers, merchant, W. Main
street, Walhalla, S. C., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills have proved very bene
ficial In our family and we are glad
to confirm our former endorsement.
My kidneys were disordered and
caused my back to ache. Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which I got at Dr. Bell's

ACTION TO SAVE LIVE STOCK.
Will Proposo Ulai. Age Limit He
Placed, on Calve? for Slaughter.
Columbia, Dec. 18.-lu view of the
agitation now going on to build un in
South Carolina a live stock Industry
the suggestion made by Asher Brown,
of Columbia, that a bill be passed by
the General Assembly providing an
age limit for the slaughtering of
young calves will be received with
much interest. Mr. Brown will very
probably have such a bill introduced
at the approaching session of the
Legislature. It is proposed by him
that the bill forbid the slaughtering
of calve? under a given age-say two
years-and that thc act provide pen
alty for violation that will make its j
enforcement practicable, lt ls point
ed out that the passage of such an
act would make for a live stock in
dustry and relievo the scarcity of
beef, and incidentally help to reduce
the cost of living. The killing of
very young calves causes fewer ani
mals to be raised for beef and re
duces the possible hirth rate of cat
tle. In this locality and in other
parts of the State it is said that many
farmers sell the calves at the earliest
moment they can dispose of them and
tho butchers slaughter them for veal
immediately. If these calves were
raised and bred for other stock later
on tho live stock industry would grow
in South Carolina, lt is very proba
ble that some legislation affecting
this situation will come up at the
next session of the General Assembly.
The Cost of Living.
It has been said that the pure food
law has operated to Increase prices
and that lt is one of the reasons for
the high cost of living. This is not
so. The pure food law has increased
food values, but not food prices. It
is true that spices which five years
ago could bo bought for 16 cents a
pound now s\ill for 25 cents a pound;
maple syrup which formerly sold for
60 cents a gallon is now worth $1.25
a gallon; 10-cent flavoring extracts
have been replaced by 25-cent pro
ducts. But this Increase In price
does not mean that the consumer is
paying more for his foodstuffs than
formerly." lt ls more economical to
buy puro spices at 25 cen ls a pound
than spices containing 50 per cent of
ground olive stones, cocoanut shells
and sawdust at 15 cents a pound.
To those who love the flavor of ma
ple syrup, the genuine product at
$1.25 a gallon is far more satisfac
tory than an artificial product at half
the price, and the housewife who
pays 25 cents for a bottle of vanilla
instead of 10 cents for a worthless
imitation ls actually saving money
and reducing the cost of living in
stead of increasing it, for the bottle
ot to-day will go five times as far as
that of former days and at the same
time he much more satisfactory. The
price of the great food staples-flour,
rice, corn, beef and sugar-is abso
lutely uninfluenced by pure food laws.
They may be higher to-day and lower
to-morrow, but their cost, to the con
sumer depends on the available sup- j
ply. influenced hy the expense of
preparation and transportation.
"Deleerious Auld Deevil."
A Glasgow, Scotland, cable says:
The death ol' Sir John Batty Take,
the eminent mental specialist, recalls
a story which he was fond of telling
against himself.
Some repairs were in progress at
the genial knight's private asylum
near Edinburgh, and the workmen
engaged had been strictly enjoined
not to converse with any of the pa
tients. One morning Sir John ap
peared on the scene, says the News,
and addressed a casual query to a
painter, which merely elicited a stony
stare.
A repetition of the question was
likewise treated with silent contempt,
and Sir John was beginning to give
visible expression to his indignation
when the workman retorted: "Awa'
wi* ye, ye deleerious auld deevil. I
canna be bothered wi' ye."***
Then, as if reflecting that this re
monstrance was too crushing, he ad
ded in a gentler tone, "But I'm sorry
for ye a' tho same."
No picture is hung on f"he walls of
the Louvre, in Paris, until ten years
after the death of tho artist.
Perhaps thc most extraordinary
tattooing idea ever carried out was
that of a coachman who, at the time
of the Dreyfus trial, had his body and
legs covered with no fewer than 120
illustrations of the case, including
port raits of the leading personages.
The work occupied nearly two years.

W. ST. JULIEN JfiRVEY DEAD.
Charleston lawyer, for Many Years
Solicitor, Passes Away.
Charleston, Dec. 17.-W. St. Jul
ion Jervey, for ninny years solicitor
of tills circuit, and a prominent at
torney and citizen of Charleston, died
this morning at his residence In
Tradd street, following an Illness of
fatal character which he endured foi
somo weeks. He was In his 67th
year.
William St. Julien Jervey was horn
at Charleston April 26, 1847. His
prep- *atory education was gained nt
the well known school of Searle and
Miles, and i,s then entered the Col
lego of Charleston, which closed
shortly thereafter on account of the
war. The institution was reopened
in 1S66, and Mr, Jervey returned
and entering the junior class, grad
uating with honors In 1868.
On July 10. 1863, at 16 years of
age, ho joined one of the reserve
companies and saw active service in
and around Charleston until Decem
ber, 1864, when he enlisted In one
of the mountain companies In the up
per part of the State, performing
scouting duties and engaging In a
number of hotly-contested skirm
ishes.
Mr. Jervey was very active in local
and State politics. He was nominat
ed as Circuit Solicitor on the Hamp
ton ticket, and did much work in that
campaign, attending and speaking at
nearly all of the meetings, many of
them turbulent. He was at Oainhoy
at the time of the riot, and while as
sisting in quelling it received a bullet
wound. C. W. Buttz was the candi
date on the radical ticket and was
declared elected. Proceedings to
oust him from the seat were taken,
however, on the grounds that he 1 eld
the office of Representative also. Mr.
Jervey represented the State in the
case against Buttz, who lost the de
cision. Tho report of the proceedings
in No. 9, South Carolina Reports,
liage 156, ls recognized as the leidlng
case on the subject of Incompittide
offices.
Young Women: Number Surprising.
The number of young women who
suffer with weak back, dizzy and
nervous spells, dull headache and
weariness is surprising. Kidney and
bladder Ills cause these troubles, but
if Foley Kidney Pills are takon as di
rected relief follows promptly, and
the ills disappear. Contain no habit

Menocal Offers Apology.
Havana, Dec 12.-President Meno
cal, through the State department,
has given William E. Gonzales, the
American minister, a full apology for
indignities offered three young Amer
ican women, who arrived here on the
Steamer Havana from New York Oc
tober 29. The young women, Misses
Annie C. Lally and Josephine Murphy,
of Washington, and Catherine Far
rell, of Brooklyn, had come to Cuba
to visit Mrs. J. Sanchez, of this city.
On the arrival of the steamer the
police boarded the vessel and detain
ed the women as the result of a claim
by another woman passenger that her
diamond ring, which she had left in
the lavatory, was missing. Despite
their protests the young women were
searched. The ring was not found.
The local newspapers printed disa
greeable stories about them.
Presiden! Menocal, in his apology,
said it had been fully proved that the
American women were innocent.

Mark Century of Peace.
Washington, Dec. 18.-A monu
ment in each State along the Cana
dian boundary to mark the line and
commemorate one hundred years of
peace between the United States and
Great Britain was to day proposed in
a bill by Senator Jones, of Washing
ton, which asks a ?500,000 appropri
ation for the purpose.
Tricked Cabinet Member.
A dispatch from Paris says:
King Alfonso tells an amusing
story of a trick he played on one of
Iiis ministers in Spain.
This minister, said the King, was
a very had shot. One day he saw a
little isbblt moving slowly through
the grass about fifteen yards away.
Ile fired with both barrels and miss
ed as usual, but the rabbit still re
mained In sight. Once more tho
minister fired. He fired In all 36
cartridges and at last bowled the
rabbit over.
Delighted, the minister ran and
picked the rabbit up, which, how
ever, had tied around its neck a card
with the words "Long lifo to Senor .
-." and then came tho minis- ;
tor's name. It was a stuffed rabbit
which a keeper pulled by a string. |
"lt was a year before my minis
ter forgave me for the trick I played
upon him," concluded Alfonso.
The French police have arrested i
an old thief, known as "Father Noel,"
who never entered a tobacconist's
shop without taking at least twenty
cigars. Ho stole daily an average
of 300 cigars of the best quality, and
a woman who worked with him put
them into boxes and sold the to
restaurant keepers at a greatly re
I duced price.

HUERTA IS BANNED BY RANKS.
Dictator's Efforts to Raise Money to ( <
Meet Interest! Charges Fail. {.
Paris, Dec. 18.-The efforts of the
Mexican government, to raise money
in Europe in order to meet the inter- ,
est on its obligations falling due in '
January have thus far been futile.
Paris and London banks, which took
$20,000,000 of the loan authorized j
by the Mexican Congress in the spring
and an option on the unissued re
mainder, decline to exercise their op
tion, even for a few millions.
The Mexican minister of finance,
Adolfo De La Lamu, uow in Europe,
brought with him authority from
Gen. Huerta to intimate to the banks
here holding the option that they
must either exercise it or surrender
lt. The bankers refuse to do either.
A threat has been conveyed to
them, cautiously, that their option
may be revoked so that the unissued
portiov-ttf' the loan may be placed
elsewhere. The bankers have replied
resolutely that the contract cannot be
revoked summarily, as Mexican
credit would be in a worse position
after euch a revocation limn ii was
before.
