. The legislature of South Car- '
olina convened last Tuesday for
the purpose of enacting laws to
relieve the present depressed
business conditions. Committees
have been appointed and
there have been various and
sundry plans proposed and the
capital city has been filled with
warm air. iNouiing ueiinite lias
been accomplished.
A plan_ looking to total eli
mination of cotton in South Car- ,
rr ^ olina in 1915 was very favorably
discussed by prominent men
throughout the State, and at one
time there seemed to be some
possibility of such a law being
enacted. At this time, however,
it seems more likelv that a law
to reduce the crop one-third in
1915 will be enacted. As ihe
writer sees it this would be
worse than no law at all. The
people, if let entirely alone, will
reduce the acreage at least onehalf,
and a law setting the mark
at one-third would cause more

"We learn from the daily
newspapers that Governor
Blease is to start a newspaper in i

Hasn't he taught the people not i

An eminent Methodist bishop >
was advocating a more liberal 1
loosing of the purse strings, and 1
during a sermon one day told :
his congregation that at one
time he'sent an article to a paper 1
in which he said: "We pray too
loud and work too little."
The intelligent compositor did
a most .satisfying iob. anrt \uhon I
it appeared it read:
"We bray too loud and work
too little."
"I let it go at that," said the
bishop. "The fact is, I believe
the printer was right, and I never
ventured to correct him."
"How will you have your eggs
cooked?" asked the waiter.
"Make any difference in the
cost of 'em?" inquired the cauti
ous customer with the brimless
hat and ragged beard.
"No."
"Then cook them on the top

CHURCH NOTES
Baptist
J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.
Not long since we were asked
what "Education Fund" as given
on he apportionment card meant.
We would say this is and should
occupy the same place in our
giving as that formerly known
as "current support of Furinan
University." Perhaps we should
add that the day or time may
come when it will mean more.
As we have the Education Commission
now and they have the
power and may have the funds
some time to do even more than
look after the current support of
Furman. All who are interested
in this important fund can find
information on pages 75 and 76
of the last State Convention
Minutes.

/Yiiumer new avenue oi usefulness
that has opened to us is
the new hospital. We ought to
be profoundly grateful to God
for the success which has
crowned our every effort in this
great enterprise of the Kingdom.
Now brethern, if Bro. Bristow
should happen to write you for
a contribution, be sure to send
liirn at least one dollar; this is a
part of our religion.
Last Sunday we called off our
services and worshipped with
our Presbyterian broihrpn in
their protracted meeting and did
not observe the Lords supper
but will do so the second Sunday
in December at the morning
hour. Next Sunday will be our
farewell at Taxahaw, we hope
all the church will be with us.
Next Sunday, White Plains 3:30
p. m. Wednesday evening
Oct. 21st. will be our last service
at Pageland before the association.

Sunday will beat Rose Hill nt 11

The fall of Antwerp is evidc

similar plans in dealing with 1

The inner forts, like those f
