Special to The Mountaineer-
Bound for the “ city by the Bea” a
portion of the mountain delegation
left Greenville on Tuesday morning.
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

following. It wa* somewhat anomalous,
as the train moved on, to tee on the

statement as to the great wor
done was mad.e to the effect that there
were in our country 1.3,000,000 of young
people and children who were outside
of church or religious infl tences.
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. Heretofore

Palestine. The mnllet is made of
olive wood from the Mount of Olives,
while the handle is of cherry from the
benks of Jordan. 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

well Orphanage would report. Their
report was made on Saturday morning
and was unanimously adopted, and
clinched by singing "Praise God, from
whom all blessings flow.” Tbe report
exonerated Superintendent J. L. Vass,
and recommended his re-election to
that position until July, 1897, when the
now board of trustees will elect for
themselves a superintendent. 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.

each family and then the big one
wouldent be needed. 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.
If we should have a war and the enemy

closure. 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

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-

together the racket is appalling. Here
are three little grandchildren in the

let them go outdoors and so we turned
them loose in the backroom. _For

joined in tbe procession and barked.
Ever and anon the youngest one would
get almost killed and my wife would
burry in to be at the funeral ol the boy.
Sometimes they would send a commit
tee to beg me for snow and I would
have to go out and get a pan full. Then
tbey v played bide and seek and it took
boto rooms for that and my wife had to
help them find new places. Will they

sort of way. It is ia the heart of th
itald Knob region. 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*

jump tbe fence, but once inside tbey
cannot jump back. Tbey tbns become
soaers, and in this way tbe herd of

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

good brother’s offer.
