It was understood some time ago that some of the leading advocates of prohibition had .consulted on the advisability of asking that such a box be provided, and that it was decided to be inexpedient and unwise, but a resolution to that effect was offered by the Marlboro delegation and reported without recommen- j dation by the committee on Constitution, and was laid on the table by the convention. Anoth-: er resolution to the same elfect .was report 2d favorably by the j committee and was rejected on the adoption of the unfavorable ( repc rt. As to Service of Jurors. ^ The late session of the general assembly made some changes in the law compelling jurors to serve when they are drawn. ; liere is what the new law says in part: "That if any juror duly summoned shall neglect or refuse to j appear in obedience to any venire i issued by any police or municipal .or magistrate court and shall not i within 48 hours render to Die recorder or magistrate holding such police or magistrate court and issuing the venire, a sufficient reaspn for his delinquency, he shall forfeit and pay a fine of $10, and upon failure to pay the line he shall be judged in contempt and shall be punished, provided no j person shall be required to serve ; on a jury in said courts ol'tener than once in each month of the j year." No State Summer School. State Supt. of Education Mar- j tin has announced that there will he no State summer school for jteachers this year as there is no j fund or appropriation for this purpose. Mr. Martin stated that the State and county superintendents of education are arranging for summer schools, or teachers' institutes, in various parts of } the State. The appropriations available for this purpose are rot as large as heretofore. The greater part of these funds has 1 come from dispensary revenue. In addition to this there has been an annual appropriation from the Peabody board, and also the jncome from the permanent school fund. This fund arises from escheated property, and the law provides that it must he used for teachers' institutes. No dispensary funds are now available for summer schools, and the Peabody board has discontinued such appropriations, so there is only one fund left. Consequently there will be no State summer school. The funds are sufficient, for only a two weeks' institute in each county. In some sections of the State three or four counties will unite. By doing this it will be possible to run the schools as long as three weeks. Aiken, Barnwell and Bamberg have united and will hold a summer school at Aiken, beginning July 13. It is quite likely that there will be other district summer district schools. In many cases, however, there will be county institutes for two weeks. Some of these will be held early in the summer, some during mid-summer and seme just before the opening of the schools in the /all.-The State. % March of PrtLibiticn. The following table, compiled by the Washington Post shows the rapid strides the cause of prohibition has made in the last few years: 1851?Maine first prohibitory law under Neal Dow's lead. 1870?Persons living in "dry" States (estimated) 4,000,000. 1S07?Persons who will be living under absolute prohibition, or city, town, or county prohibition (estimated), 33,000,000.. Number of States that will be ''dry,, after January 1st, six (Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma and North Dakota.) Kentucky, $100,000,000 invested in manufacture of liquor, has 97 "dry" counties out of 119. North Carolina has "dried" 99 per cent of her territory. South Carolina, 19 out of 11 counties "dry." Tennessee has but three cities where liquor can be legally sold. Fiirht for nrohihition hpintr waged in Mississippi, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. Massachusetts has 250 "dry" towns; 100 "wet" ones. Sixty-two per cent of the population of New Hampshire lives in "dry" territory. To Break up Express Roguery. At last a long-suffering public is to get at least partial relief from the systematic stealing that has been going on throughout the State and perhaps throughout neighboring States at the hands of employes of the Southern Express Company in collecting twice on shipments of all kinds. In a communication received by the railroad commission today Superintendent Marvin, of the company, encloses a copy of an order that hgs just been put inio effect following the action of the commission demanding that this be done. Hereafter all business originating and ending in the State most bear a label showing whether prepaid or collect, the amount, weight and date. Of course the commission is powerless to so regulate the inter-State shipmens, but it seems likely that this system will stop the grafting for a time at least. It has been found impractical to have the order apply to shipments of "fish, oysters, ice, tropical or domestic l'ruits, vegetables or vegetable plants" and these classes of shipments have Rural Carriers Must Spruce Up. Postmaster General Meyer recently issued the following order: "Postmasters of rural free delivery offices will inform all carriers under their supervision that they are required to present a neat personal appearance, that the vehicles used must be suited to the service, kept in good order and presentable, and that the animals used by the carriers in serving their routes must be fit to work and such as do not c\st discredit on the service. Lax t/ in these matters will be immediately reported to this office by postmasters." Died From Cutting a Corn. Mr. James Black, a prominent citizen and successful farmer of the Fort Lawn section of Chester county, died at his home last Friday night, says the Lancaster News. He was a victim of blood poison, caused, it is said, by cut ting a corn on his foot with a knife which had been used in an operation on a sick cow, though it was thought at the time that the knife had been properly cleansed. Mr. P?lack was about 05 years of age and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. lie was a man of genial, pleasant disposition and made friends of all with whom he came in contact. lie had many friends and acquaintances in Lancaster where he occasionally visited. The burial was made at Fort Lawn Saturday. - Lancaster News. An Editor's Troubles. Editing a newspaper is a nice thing. If we publish jokes people say we are fossils. If we publish original matter, they say we don't give them enough selections. If we give them selections, they say we are too lazy to write. If we don't go to church, we are heathen.

Sunday last was a joyful day ; for the members of historic <?ld Flint Hill church. It marked the beginning of services in their I ?.1 i?:~i- t-.-Mj Ofjiuiium new UUCtV UUIIUlIlg, which has cost the congregation much in the way of strenuous effort and self-sacrificing giving. The building enterprise was launched back in 1904 during the pastorate of Rev. M. W. Gordon. , when plans .were adopted, subscriptions payable in five annual installments were made and timj bcr was cut and sawed on the church grounds. It was thought then to press the work to completion but obstacles were met with which made it impracticable. The pastor, being offered an inviting field elsewhere, resigned the charge. He was followed in April, 1905, by Rev. J. D. Iluggins who remained with the church only until the close of , the year. During this short pas' torste little progress was made on the building beyond the payment of pledges by a few of the more faithful members. A division of opinion had developed, a few greatly desiring the plans which had been auupteu to be carried out, but many doubting the wisdom of undertaking so great a task, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the church had on different occasions voted for the more costly structure as opposed to a cheaper building which some of the members advocated. Though plans had been I Jldnntpd nnrf RliV?ar?'r,ir?t inno niorla I it was not at ail certain that the building would ever materialize. ; Many openly expressed the conviction that it would not, while I the most sanguine could only express a hope, shadowed by fears and doubts, that it would some day be a reality. This was the ! condition of alfairs when the present pastor, Rev. Edward S. Reaves, came to the field, January 1st, 1906. To his prudent management and caicful handling of the situation the success of the enterprise in no small measure is undoubtedly due. The first brick were placed on the ground in Aug., 1906, and a year ! later after a full and frank inves; tigation of all the conditions the I church finally and fully committed itself to the enterprise and decided to begin work on the building. September 25,1907, j ground was broken and on Nov. J 7lh the cornerstone was laid with ; proper ceremonies. Through the ; recent panic, with a courage that i sometimes trembled at what ; might be the consequences, the I work was carried forward and is now practically completed. The church today owns a plant which built by contract would call for not less than $10,000 or $11,000 for the building unfurnished. The edifice is gothic in archi! tecture, with provision for seven ' separate class rooms, five of I ...UUk Jl ' ty uii,ti 11ui > uc turuwn open to the main auditorium when de- > sired. The auditorium is 45 x 4'.), feet and by the use of chairs the I full seating capacity of the church is about six hundred. The build} ing stands on an elevated site ! and with its two towers in front presents a pleasing and imposing appearance. In this connection, j the names of the building com- j mittee are worthy of mention. James F. Boyd is the ellicient and faithful chairman and was supported by the cheerful and helpful services of the other members, B. M. Faris, V. B. Blankenship and W. M. Garrison. To erect such a building with a coneregation of less than two hundred, the majority of whom 1 are poor, while none of them are rich, has been no small undertaking. But the greatness of the undertaking has been the means of unifying the congregation. Everybody is enthusiastic over the new building. So that the undertaking which .was begun with difference of opinion was finished with a congregation thoroughly united. To the committee, to the membership, and to the pastor, last Sunday was therefore a lutppy day, when the church with its host of invited friends occupied the building for the first time. Due notice of the services had been given and a great throng was present, many more than could he seated in the building. Several prominent ministers, ini eluding all oi' the surviving expastors, had been invited, but 4 I l_iljj L CHURCH - 1855 for different reasons most of them were unable to attend. I ti : i ?-' ' x I1C oci V 1CCS UUgclU at 1UO ClOCK with an address to the Bible school by Rev. J. D, Moore, field secretary of Sunday school work j of the South Carolina Baptist 1 Convention. He also preached j the sermon at 11 o'clock from ! Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." His subject j was, "The Spirit's Enduement for Service." The sermon was appropriate to the occasion, do-1 livered in pleasing style and | emphasized the need of the I Spirits' guidance and power in successful church work. At the close of the service the venerable and beloved, Rev. A. L. Stough, former pastor of the church, led the congregation in a fervent prayer. Then followed the presenting of the building committee to the audience by the pastor, a financial statement by Chairman Boyd and the presenting of the church keys in behalf of the committee to S. P. Blankenship, senior deacon of the church. Deacon Blankenship in appropriate words received the keys iu behalf of the church, thanking the committee and assuring its memher.s of the appreciation of the congregation. In view of obligations on the building, not as yet provided for, Pastor Reaves then took a public collection which resulted in gathering something over $200 in cash and pledges, most of which was given outside the memberehip. After dinner on the grounds and more than an hour spent in pleasant social intercourse, the people again filled the house for services. The afternoon's exercises consisted of messages of greetings from the former pastors and friends of the old church, and was a very tender and enjoyable hour to those who are interested in the church and its welfare. First, Rev. A. L. Stough who is greatly loved and revered by the church, made an address in which he told many things of interest connected with the history of the church, contrasting former conditions with those which now exist. The church is now one hundred and sixteen years old and has a history which is worthy of being better known. Brother Stough, now nearly eighty-five' years of age, spoke with vigor and evidenced great mental strength and clearness. It was a touching moment when he closed his address, saying that in all probability he would never again address his former parishioners and invoking heaven's richest blessings to abide upon the church. The pastor then read messages of greeting from Revs. C: T. Scaife, F. O. S. Curtis and J. D. Huggins former pastors; from Revs. R. G. and James I. Kendrick, ministerial sons of church; from Rev. T. J. Taylor, a former member of the church, and from pastors L. R. Pruett, I'j. Hi. Uomar and H. H. Hulten of Charlotte, who serve noble churches descended from the old mother. After singing "God be with you till we meet again," the benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. L. Stough. Thus closed an eventful day in the history of the church which will be long remembered by those who participated in or witnessed its exercises. The T. P. A.'sof Sumter are ; discussing the question of buildj ing a home for widows and or! phans of traveling men and worn ' out drummers. ?
