Coleman, who resides at Earle, Aiken county. Rev. K. McCaskill has returned from the meeting of the Synod at Columbia. Mrs. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, is "visiting her sister, Mrs. J. B. Guess. No one should oppose home missions. Representatives of all the tribes of earth are here in our cities, and the church should go forward in that great work. One who reads "Our Country,".by Dr. Josiuh Strong, will be startled at the stupendous and portentous facts that confront us. At the same time, no follower of the Prince of Life can oppose foreign missions. "Do you think the world will be converted ? " was asked the Duke of Wellington. The stern General replied: "Look to your marching orders :" "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." "It is ours not to reason why, ours to do and die, if necessary." The captain of our Salvation was Himself a foreign missionary to a godless world. He has given us our orders; if we are true soldiers of the cross, we must obey. Bishop Pierce has well said: "Will we be saved if we refuse to send the gospel to the heathen V" After we have received it, "shall we to men benighted the lamp of life deny?" We must either go or send the gospel. The Lord of glory lend in ir His consecrated battalions on O to certain victory; let none of bis soldiers desert. One hundred years ago the church of Christ numbered 200,000,000 members; now it has 475,000,000 members. No Baptist who thinks of what Carey, Judson and others have done ought to oppose ' foreign missions. No Methodist who remembers the grand work of John Wesley . will. When denied admittance to the church Wesley stood by his father's grave, ? and as he preached to the listening thous! ands he cried; "The world is my parish"?) 1 prophetic words. Our ancestors were j heathen people. In the forests of Great Britain they bowed down to gods many ; and lords many. Some one believed in . foreign missions and sent the gospel to them. We ought to have gratitude enough ; to send the good tidings to earth's re-; ' mutest bounds. "Freely ye have received, ; freely give." Gregory, walking the streets of Rome saw some of our fair haired an; cestors. He was told they were Angles, from Angle-land, (England). "No," said . he, "not Angles but Angels." Gregory r sent missionaries and our forefathers were j christianized. So well was the work . done that long years afterward, when , that famous preacher, Christmas Evans, was preaching in the mountains of Wales, those sturdy Presbyterians became so happy they shouted gogoniad (glory to God) bendigidig (halleluiah). Look how the missionary Baptists have prospered, t They are doing a grand work. Compared , to them, how insignificant a showing is c made by the anti-missionnry Baptists, yet ) thelattcr denomination once outnumbered the former. The church that opposes misf sions will die. There are "doomed religf ions" and "doomed churches." Some of 1 earth's noblest heroes and heroines are to - be found among the missionaries. Eminent men, ambassadors, learned thinkers, presidents, (McKiniey, Harrison, noosevelt, Cleveland) and others have spoken in highest terms of the great work the U missionaries of the cross- are doing. Christ's kingdom is the coming king[" doni. "Ask of me and I will give thee * the heathen for thy inheritance and the j uttermost parts of the earth for thy nos, session." "This gospel of the kingdom 'j must first be preached in all nations, and \ then shall the end come." The Assyrian, * Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman Empires have passed away. The mighty empire of the Son of God is moving forward to assured success. The day is coming when "He shall see of the travail of >f His soul, and be satisfied." "O, day beif yond to-morrow, haste thee on.' Op he r, yond, when the false ends of earth have d all been hunted to the dust, shall come ?f the coronation of the Prince of Peace. r. "O that with yonder sacred throng, we <1 at His feet may fall; we'll join the ever >f lasting song, and crown Him Lord ol ;<> all." W. II. \V. et "What makes your nose so red, Weary?' je "It glows with pride at not sticking H self into other people's business." ! ONE CAR HorsesS I Just received. S I nice ones in thij News from the Citadel. The Citadel, Charleston, Oct. 26.? Iu May Capt. Curtis, of the garrison at Fort Getty, received instructions from the War Department to proceed to Charleston and inspect the Citadel cadets. He did so soon after, and his report, which was a most favorable one, was published in the News and Courier a few weeks ago. In his report, he stated that the cadets could only be compared to the West Pointers, and recommended that an oflicer, who had been in active service, be detailed as commandant. The Board of Visitors after much consideration asked that Capt. McMaster, a graduate of - - - ? ? - /-i ? a. ir. West Point and a nroiner 01 uapi. juuMaster, a graduate of this institution, be detailed. The War Department honored the request, and Col. Coward has received an otHcial notice stating that he has been ordered to report here for duty as soon as possible. Capt. McMaster is at present on duty in New York, but is expected to arrive in a few days. Since Lieut. McDonald, U. S. A., was relieved of his duties here at the outbreak of the Spanish war, Capt. J. W. Cantey, class '90, has been acting commandant and has conducted the military affairs of the academy in a most efficient manner. His many friends among citizens aud cadets are pleased to know that he will not sever his connections with the institution when relieved, but will be assistant professor of English. The corps held a meeting Friday morning at which Cdt. Adj. Giles presided, and decided to give the aunual Xmas"hop" on the Friday before Xmas. The cadet "hops" are a source of great pleasure to them and their friends and no doubt it will be well attended. Cdt. Capt. W. G. Willard was elected manager, and will no doubt make a success of it, as he has held similar positions every year since he has been a cadet. At a recent meeting of the Calliopean Literary Society a letter was read from an alumnus in Greenwood, which stated that he, in the great tire of'91, had gotten some of the society records from the hall. He enclosed a letter from Jefferson Davis, which was written in 1878 from his old home, and in which he thanked the society for having honored him by electing him au honorary member of the society. The members were glad to recover this old letter and have placed it among other important papers of the society. The mem bens of the 1st class remained up to observe the eclipse of the moon and watched the phenomena through the large telescope used in the department of Astronomy, under the direction of Maj. Bond, our popoular assistant mathematics professor. The cadets are taking much interest in tennis and we have six or eight courts on the "green." All of us are disappointed at not being able to attend the fair, but, as we have all our time occupied, it will be impossible. The old cadets have gotten used to the guns again and the daily drills are splendid. The recruits are still instructed in squads in the school of the soldier.

This is a great mistake, and is the cause of the poor drilling which most of them exhibit. In order to drill well the recruit must be exercised in the squad and taught how to hold himself erect. This is done here for three months, then they are put in the company in proper shape. Messrs. J. R. Ashe and J. H. Thayer, both of class of '02, were here last week shaking hands with their many friends. C. '03. Barnwell News. Barnwell, Oct. 23.?After a lingering illness, W. A. All, Sr., died yesterday at his home near Allendale and will be buried to-day at Saltkehatchie church by the side of those bearing his honored name who "sleep their last sleep." Mr. All was twice elected to the legislature by tiie people of this county aud to their interest he was ever watchful, ever faithful. His heart was large; his purpose pure; the influences for good which he always exerted will be missed by his large circle of friends and acquaintances. ? Easterliug Brothers, who have grown fruit so extensively in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina ana Maryland ior several years, have carried a large force of hands from here to Florida, where they inteud not only to increase their melon and cantaloup acreage another year but to add several hundred acres in tomatoes, beans and other vegetables. The town is rejoicing at the coming of the Bell telephone. A large force of hands were at work to-day completing the line. Central office will be in the Lancaster building. R. W. Riley, D. D. S., has opened an office in Columbia. Gen. M. L. Bouham, of Anderson,-is visiting relatives here. J The weather continues very dry and | farmess are complaining at not having sufficient moisture to sprout the small grain sown by them. Baknwell, October 2fi.?A note was thrown a few days since, evidently written by a very illiterate person, into the yard of an aged lady, living about six miles from Barnwell, saying: "You had better muve away frum hear, because tht neegroes intend io cum som riite and kill you," and telling her where she had besl go, signing his name. "You true freu." She lives alone and naturally her neighbors desire to interview the writer. The colored people in that neighborhood are generally well behaved and it is nol believed that there is anything serious in it. The new telephone company that ha* made an entrance into the town is adding wires to those already strung, so that the numerous strands look as if it were tc accommodate a large town.

C., October 27.?Saturday night last is one to be remembered in the history of the Calhoun literary society. The order, in the tirst place, was as good and perfect as any one could have wished to see. The young gentlemen of this society have determined to make this year notable in every way, and especially by holding up the high reputation which the Calhouns have throughout this State. The meeting Saturday night was characterized by the reading of tine essays, the well delivered declamations, and especially by the strong debate. The query discussed was, Resolved : That South Carolina should institute a law of compulsory education between the ages of seven and fourteen. A heated discussion and many fine points were had on each side. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. Here is where many of South Carolina's prominent men have accustomed themselves to speaking in public and where some of the very best lawyers in the State have made their beginning as speakers. The Prestous elected officers on Saturday night for the next two months. The following was the result: President, A. E. Taylor; vice-president, D. E. Carmack; treasurer, W. C.Herbert; recording secretary, W. W. Niver; corresponding secretary, A. D. Betts; 1st censor, F. Golightly; 2nd censor, W. A. McMillan. President Snyder left last week for Coronaca, where he delivered a lecture. He spent Sunday in Newberry, returning here Monday. Prof. Gamewell tells us that he has secured Ernest Seton Thompson for this season. This one lecture alone will cost the lyceum three hundred dollars, but it will be included in the regular lyceum course without extra charge to those studeuts who hold season tickets. This is only one of the many fine lecturers that will be here this season. Dr. Carlisle gave a fine talk in chapel last week on the character of Alexander H. Stephens. Dr. J. C.Moore, an alumnus of Wofford, was married on October 23, at McColl, S. C. Dr. Moore has many friends throughout the State who will wish him great happiuess. The S. A. E. Fraternity, of which Mr. Moore is a member, received an invitation to be present at the ceremony. The Glee Club hold a meeting last Friday, when it was decided to give a Moot Court before Christmas and a play later in the year. A mock trial was held several years ago and proved a great success, and of course the students intend to have even a greater success than ever before. The question of getting out an Annual is being discussed among the students. The indications are that it will be a successful movement and Wofford will have as fine an Annual as any of the others gotten out in this State. Mr. Arthur Ragan, who played with the Knoxvillc baseball club during the past season, has returned to Spartanburg. He was on Moffet's fast team. Mr. Kagan . says he pitched 42 games, won 32, lost 8, and the scores of two games were a tie. Mr. W. Frank Johnson, of Bamberg, was on the campus a while last week. He was on his way honle from Clerason. Mr. J. Norman Walker, of Allendale, who coached WofTord's foot ball team last season, is in the city for a few days. The chapel is very nearly completed. The new ceiling, which was selected by a committee of ladies, gives entire satisfac1 tion to every one. The chapel and most of the other rooms in the college building have been wired, and electric lights are beiug put in. The professors nouses anu i the gymnasium will .also be lighted by ' electricity. The most familiar scene on the campus ; these afternoons is a boy swinging his 1 tennis racket and carrying a net under ; his arm. This means that there will be I some hot games after Christmas, when the ; games for the trophy cup will be played. This cup was given last year by Mr. G. - Marshall Moore, and is known as the ! Moore Trophy Cup. i There is a prize of five dollars offered by Mr. M. W. Sloan, class '03, for the best i poem written for the Wofford College Journal during December, January, and s February. There is a medal offered by ; Rev. Marion Dargan for the best story. ; With the aid of these two factors, the i Journal promises to be a great success during this year, f The books left to the college library by r the late Rev. Thomas Pate, of Florence, have been marked and placed in a sepaf rate case and marked "The Thomas Pate } Library." This addition to the library is l greatly appreciated. Many books of much I value are to be foiind in this collection. , Last year Dr. Herman Baer, of Charles ton, also left a good number of books to the library. With these additions, Wof> ford has one of the very best libraries in the State. All of the latest magazines arc - to be found on the reading table, along 1 with a number of daily and weekly news b papers. Wofford is now enjoying one of the t most prosperous years in her history.
