For their accommodation there had been provided by the Southern railway a special coach which started out with quiteanumber of delegates and visitors to the meeting of the StaUi Conven tion of Baptists. With the progress of the trip con stant accessions of visitors and dele gates were made so that by the time Columbia wa» reached the “ Baptist coach " was well titled. If the desired end could have been attained by any such action there would have been forwarded to the clerk of the weather an unanimously signed petition that he should favor u» with more balmy weather than fell to our lot on that day. Thu rain of Monday had ceased, ’tis true, but tbo thick snow-like clouds, and the ice-covered ground, supplemented by the chilling blasts of BorehSi 1° no degree were conducive to bodily comforts. In the course of the day the clouds broutrht to us first sleet, and then Jupiter Pluvius added his steady shower of chilly ram. con tinuing into the night and the day following.

The report on the Belief Fund for aged ministers showed that the tnthf^ est in that work was growing, and that twenty-two benefleiarios were now being aided by that board. The report of tbo board of ministerial edu- cation showed that twenty-four stu dents had received aid.

President Hudson appropriately received the gavel on the part of the convention. The report of the boird of Mlnlste- tda< Education claimed attention on Saturday morning and over 1240 were contributed for that object. A com mittee was appointed to confer with the trustees of the Yorkvllle High School no to what is best to he done with reference to that property. The committee is to report through the A the Furman University. But it was decided to so Obsnge matters as to commit to this board the care of the University students only, and give to the representativ s of the Seminary the opportunity to solicit direct con- tributiojis for its Students’ Fund on the door of the Convention. A very gratifying result of this change of method was seen when, at a later stage of the proceedings, Dr. Kerfoot, of the Seminary, presented its claims and received pledges for its Students' Fund, amounting to somewhat more than *1,000. The session of Thursday night was devoted to the Interests til 1 he Sunday School and of the Foreign Mission work. The report of th«* committee on the tir-t subject wa* |»r> •^nted by its, chairman.

It so changes the rules of the Orphanage that the fifteen trustees shall be elected on the rotation method, five for tl years, five for two, and the other for one year, and upon this method trustees were named jfQr„ the institu tion. Other changes in the by-laws were also made.

The main thing now in raising a^boy is to have him graduate as a good football kicker. So much importance ie attached to the development of arms and legs that ! think athletics should have a place in the curriculum of the colleges and wh< n tbo report of the boy% standing is scut to his parents it should contain his jumping and running and pitching and kicking record, and this record should have weight in fixing tbe hon ors. While they are developing mus cle it would be a good idea to have a rail-splitting and a.cotton picking at tachment in which tbe farmers' s^ns could compete so as to be ready for busisesa when the old man calls them home. The apprehension is that great excellence in kicking a ball wlU not meet with proper rewards in after life.

Th<a »as does ik order to prereat Inbreeding. About a year ago one of the big buck elks got so ugly that they were obliged to kill him. He was like a rogue elephant, the bane of ciroueee. No soorer had he bean shut up a month than he showed auch a mean dlspcfikDlon that the rest of tbe herd drove him away, refusing to as sociate with him. He then herded with tbe domestic catyle, of which there are quite n number on the pre serve. Whenever the park keepers showed up the buck would charge them in the wildest anger. He became as sharp as a fox and laid for the keepers. They did hot dare Kin him for feaf of in curring the displeasure of tbe proprie tors, so they had to run for it every time they were attacked, a reformatory- More t ban once some jof them were id that Is al 1 forced to climb trees and stay above stay ground until the furious beast below them grew tired and went away. He Khaliy got bo bad thkT Be wbuld creep up around the men s quarters and lie in wait for them, and then the order was given that he be shot. The keepers ate him with great relish. This buck was the first of the big' game, in the park to be killed. One or two others have been shot for sport, but the recent outing is really the formal opening of tbq park. The pro prietors have been biding their time until the p.-eserve should be thorough ly well stocked. Small game like turkey and squirrel and quail Is so thb-k that one can almost kill them wi* ha club. As far coons and’possums, they can be picked off the fences—at least that is what those who have been to tbe park insist, and this is their ex planation: While the fence la built twenty feet high to keep in the deer, It Is also built with tbe barbed wires very close together at the bottom. Mr Bui la his public spaseh be charged that the trouble was that tbs law was aut being property administered and that, there seemed to ba someth lag la thd charge of " 1 act pleat roAtoaacss," not only la the dispensary, but la county affairs and tor such oondltloos he cen sured the grind Juries. This Is tbe first speech, other than free silver, that Senator Tillman has made In some time and is all tbo more important. Strange td say in his land as smooth speech yesterday he did not mention free 1 liver or anything about it in any shape, form or fashion. So much for the speech. There has recently been considerable discussion about the possibility ot re ducing the Congressional representa tion from this State on account of the light vote cast in the last Presidential election, and the restrictions tp the franchise that exist and are operative -iD-tbis State. Some outside papers "varmits,” coming along ia the hey day of their liberty, try to get in or out of the preserve a* the case may be. They stick their pointed noses in be *.*een tbe wire# and push. Then a *rb catches them. They wriggle a '•land another barb catches them T ia first thing they know they are ucx aad all a fellow has to do for a , usram supper or a coon akin cap Is W go over to the fence and pick one off. it was then that Mr. Ilryno kllind have started the discussion, and seem certainly to think that there is something in the possibility. . t the matter while on his way to Wash ingtoo, and one thing is certain he is not giving himself much concern about it, and is of the impression that noth ing will come out of the agitation and talk. He thinks that some Republi cans may want to make capital out of such a proposition and would like to go for tbe South in a speech on such & subject, but he has little idea that such a plan would or could be .carried into operation. It would, heoaid. take a regularly passed act of Congress to reduce the representation from this or any other State as is contemplated. The House of Representatives, he said, might pass all the resolutions and do what it pleased about the ifiatter, but without the consent of the Sesate it would be without effect. It will take an act regularly passed by the House and Senate and approved by the i're- A Good Road t* a Mo**v Tbs best argument for nsui meat is tbs argumoat of •ooaomy.

It boasts no slop ing, greenly wooded hills, no sheer defiant crag*. Dull, gray knobs, bald of growth, rise in endless series all about. In the low-lying land interven ing, great trees rise up. At their bases grows thick underbrush. Tbe streams in Taney county, bulb big and little, are clear a- crystal. They meander aroundUnd about these knob*, more tortuous in their turnings than the rattlesnakes along their banks, flowing always toward tbe south. Tbey are alive with fish, a godsend to the natives. A number of, St. Louis gen tlemen own about acres of land in the southern part of Taney county. This land is fenced in and literally teems with game. There are 4ie in digenous red deer, elk, antelope, wild goat, bear, squirrel, coon, ’possum, catamount, turkey and quail in greater abundance than in any place in Am erica. It is really a hunter's paradise. Right, through the centre of it runs the beautiful White river. This stream is about the size of the Meramec and is fullofspotted trout, jack salmon «uid bass, so'tbat he who does not care to hunt, but loves to sit and angle on the riser's bank is equally well cared for. When tbp park was first inclosed there were perhaps twenty of the native deer within it, and in the fenc ing, under the superintendence of Mr. McCann, “ Old Coon,” they call him, a regular job was worked on the poor, confiding deer who happened to have beeji jeft on -the outside. The bald knobs in the park are very steep. Many of them rise up at angles of 45 degrees and the 24 foot wire fence was built so as-kb lean sharply toward the incline. This made-it much highdk oo the one side than on the other. The White River is the runway for the deer coming north from Arkansas. A* tbe deer come over the knobs thev can jump tbe fence, but once inside tbey cannot jump back. Tbey tbns become soaers, and in this way tbe herd of been materially increased otrr aad above the additions b/ birth. The whole park Is thus a big deer as< tbi lb« Jl g-K-S ».thl.J r are rnaay men la Northern Arkansas lin.o forth date i Jsy Hryan visited that will fre ii evrot* fru Taaey county ^ avi r.r Among the boeornoie geatiemee that composed this hunting parly, Coioael Welmore was known ns “Mark Han na.” It came ahaul this way.

CONSKKVA- The Significance of His Speech at Gad'iMiy—The Revolution He Creat ed is Going Backward. Special to the News ami Courier. There is a great deal more impor tance to be attached to Senator Till man's Gaffney speech than its bearing on the county proposition. His posi tion is of decided importance for a variety of reasons, especially as there are so many new county propositions, and in all of them there are many who have inexplicable faith in Tillman. Not only did Tillman discuss the pros and cons of the new county matter, but he could not help branching out and talking’about State politics, the dispensary,*and himself It was somewhat significant to hear Tillman argue something like this: Tbe Reform party has kept things at a feVer heat in South Carolina for six years; It has kept the pot boiling and stirred it with a long spoon. The revolutionary reform day have been morff radical than was rea'ly neces sary, bat opposition led to, perhaps, radical reform. There is n reaction Imminent It mav chailge existing re forms.
