The little chap was lying at the root of a big tree, exhausted fromn :hunger and exposuri.e. Ie was filed with terror when the dogs began lick ing his face. The boy was with I his father, Johin Down of Waterville, picking hops. While the man was at work Friday afternoon tlie little fellow wanldered away. Altliough search was soon be gunl, al trrace of him was lost. ie searching party grew until 300 farm ers and hop pickers were engaged in it, woirk oiver thle whole count rysidle being suspended.

"'You must lose time trying tc locate it,"'-Philadelphia edger. .a Orangeburg Collegiate InstUtute. rte baptist Press has the following t6 say of an iistitution over which i Newvberry man, Prof. W. S. Peterson presides with so much success: South of the Atlantic Cost Litc rail-roId rililling from Colimbia tc Charleston and east of the Southern1 from Columbia to Augusta lies the territory of about a dozen counties. Ii this territory live about one-fourtl of the Baptists of the entire State. The two largest towns in this part of the State are Aiken and Orangeburg, Charleston excepted. The people for the most part arc farmers, and of recent years have not enjoyed a great amount of this world's goods. But for their genuine worth-their love of home and church -they are not excelled anywhere on earth. They are the embodiment of hospitality. Man- pf them would divide his last dollar with a needy friend. Recent years have noted a great change in all this part of the State. It is gradually becoming one of the finest trucking sections in this coun try. The fine price received for pro duce of all kinds has amounted to thouands of dollars to our people, and they are now for the most part in easy cireustances, with a bright fu ture before them. Within this vast territory some points of interest not known by all our people should be noted. For in stance, here we have the greatest sin gle express office in Aenirica, that of Megget's in Colleton county. It is lie larzest cabbage shipping point said to he in the world. The largest Irish potota shipping point. 11d then we have within this territory the lar -est aspar.l'agus shipping point, if not tle largest cantaloupe shipping point, and1l it is -radtiallv becoming one of ie flinest sections in the State in cot ton raisin"-.

The only drawback that seems to be in the way ot the greatest possible tlevelopment is the lack of needed educational advantages. Very true it is, ouir rural schools have been greatly improved within the last few years; sessions having advanced from three and four months to six and nine 1olntls, yet, the fact remains that the schools must be greatly improved before t,he necessary efficiency shall le attained unto. Orangeburg Codlegiate Institute. Within all of this territory in which live posibly thirty thousand Baptists there is one single Baptists high school hlat of the Orangeburg Collegiate in stitute. While it was established sev eral year's ago it has livedi varying sucesses, and14 the tact still remains that very few of our11 Bap)tists lboys :andi irls in this part of the t$ate have h:al thle adivant ages of a high schoolt edc tni o. 111ad it nt, beeni for1' te perservance'1 of'.'4 a few faith t'ul one14s who realIizedl the necessity 4'l schioo4ls of thiis chiaratetr, even this school44 w4onhll hiave been 114 morie.

I do not know oft the actual enroll imeint tihe year' prleviouls to his taking charge, but it had received a low mark. His friends criticised him because they thoughlt that hie hlad undertaken an1 imfpossibility, but the first year he enrlolled 113 pupils, 76 of wvhom were boarders. Last year he enrolled 202, 150 of whom were boarders. Hie con fidently expects to open school this year withI a larger number of boarders tha' he enrolled for the entire session last year. Success it nIot a marvel: it is reached by one who believes in the cause he repr'esents. Prof. Peter son believes that great good for Orangeburg as well as for otheor parts of the State can be accomplished by this great canse which he repr'esetlts. One wquld be suirprlised to find so well equlipnced a faculty, unless some one JMJM J&JJA%%JAF ASA AF AN JrA VV had previously told them of it. Yet we find a factulty of six men and sevenl ladies. a11 edueated il the best eolleges and uniliversities in this coun try. A fine milsie department, art departient, cooking and sewing de paIrtlent. and in fact everything in a mio(erI and up-to-d1a te school is found hre. Ti heathii of the school cannot be be surpassed. The buildings are well kept. lighted by electricity, supplied with eity water, and a partial sewer age system which is being greatly im proved; there are being extensive im provements made on the buildings. More new dormitories are being put up, and if the money were in hand, to put up the necessary buildings and equip them, there is no telling the number of students that might be en rolled. Oh, that some moneyed man would open his heart and furnish the necessary funds! I have had a talk recently with Prof Peterson, who is more determined than ever that thoroughness shall characterize the work done. Many of the boys and girls in this part of the State can never expect to attend col lege. His object is to send them out into life prepared to meet its strug ,gles. One of the best advertisments that comes to the ears of a traveller throug~h this part of the state is from the students who attend the school. eSuch perfect confidence have they in ithe advantage and strength of the place that they become individually advertising agencies, and Bro. Peter son says there is no limit to the re stilts if lie only had the room. Worth Thousands to Him. The purpose of advertising the school. Ir for advertising Prof. Peter son. but because after looking over the institution and travelling over this part of the State.

One thing that I probably should not mention at this point is that so few of our young people from this portion of the State attend Furman university and Greenville Female col lege. The reason is, in my opinion, that they have never had the oppor tunity of a high chool education, and the necessity for a college education impressed upon them by its influence. I hope that I will not be misunder stood in what I have written here. I an an ardent friend of everyone of our high schools.

Then, from the fact that we are human, deduces the reason of our troubles. If we were perfect and made no mistakes, then there would be no trouble; but, if such were the case we should be gods and not men. Trouble is a natur al consequence for human action. The laws of God and nature are immutable and because they are, a corresponding result folows every cause, both good and bad. No act is committed with out a correspondiug re-action, and the quality of the act determines the quality of the reaction. The third rule in Newton's three laws of motion may here be applied, together with " whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.Y' Then all who are human must have some troubles; we all are human; therefore, we all must have trouble in some form. Let us accept the fact, ii-t borrow trouble or run ahead to miieet it but reserve all our strength to oppose it when it comes. One day's , bUrileii is eili0ou0i for aiN. ian to bear. C'luvert trouleh!( into sImet h ing for the betterimient of voulr nature--it is posibl. Each time a force or power Of that nature is met, resisted andi )verconie, new strength of character is added. Those troubles are merely the elements, out of which are made naterials for character building. They ( xre necessary: for, a character builded without them, would be weak, un teady and easy to overturn and de 5troy. As our troubles come, let us meet them, use them to advantage, always remembering that they are a natural S 3onsequence and altogether just.
