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 should be in every home. At all druggists. H. E. Bucklen & Co., Philadelphia and St. Louis. adv. 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.

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. . -?.? ************ * NOTICE TO FARMERS. * * The Charlotte Semi-Weekly * * Observer is the only newspaper * * in tho South that allows Farm- * * ers to advertiso Free of Charge, * * and the Semi-Weekly Observer * * prints all the news that's flt to * * print.

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.

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 forming drugs. Bell's drug store, ad. 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. Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure. I The worst coses, no matter o? how long stan?iiur.

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. \ The Midn Still the best substitu? light of the Rayo Lar penetrating, yet nevei The Rayo is the best results of years of sri nicKel-plated brass-< Easy to clean and rev* without removing < The best lamp you c price will surprise yoi At all d STANDARD Ol Washington, D.

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.
