Just at present I am very busy, having closed contracts for two handsome two-story residences, to be handsomely finished throughout, also about $2,000 worth of public work for the county. There were other bids lower than mine, but the parties concluded I was the most reliable man to deal with, and as a conseqence the contracts were awarded to me.

Home Mission Items. Last year 5,349 persons in the Home Missing Society were pledged to tithing. There is more wealth in the world at this present time than ever before, and the larger part of it is in the hands of professing christians. What would it mean to the church if these christians were to tithe their income ? There would be no empty treasuries, no begging, no bazaars, no festivals, money always on hand to meet apportionments. So much more good could be done, and so many more souls saved for Christ. Isn't-it worth the trial ? In the United States there is spent annually $15.61 per capita for liquor, and only $4.10 for church and charity. If every church member would pledge themselves to let whiskey go, the statistics for another year would be reversed. Savannah has recently been opened as a port of entry for immigrants from Europe. This makes four immigration stations in the Southern States: Savannah, New Orleans, Charleston, and Galveston. Last year sixty thousand foreigners set- j tied in the South, forty-eight per cent, of whom are illiterate. The Home Mission Society is doing a wonderful work among the foreigners, establishing schools, etc. In Tampa there are thirty-five different languages spoken. Nine con secrated women are employed by the Home Mission Society to work in the [talian and Cuban schools. These foreigners coming under the influence >f these godly women, will make : christians and good citizens. The great undeveloped West presents vast fields for home mission vorkers. About fifty-four per cent. )f the immigrants settle in the West, tt calls loudly for the church and christian schools, and preachers and teachers of strong character and in;ellectual training. The Home Mis don society is striving to win the ( victory for Christ. But money and ; vorkers are needed to meet the ?reat demands. We should rally to ;he call. Every member of the church should be a member of the Home Mission Society. Killing at Pee Dee.

TWO BELTON MEN DROWNED. Were In a Boat Fishing on the Saluda River and Boat Capsized. Early last Thursday morning J. C. Walker and John Dickson, both white, were drowned in the pond of the Belton power company, six and one-half miles from Belton, on the Saluda river. Both of these young gentlemen were well known in Anderson, as that city was their former home. It seems that the two men set out trot lines across the pond the evening before and at 2 o'clock next morning they were in a bateau visiting the lines. The bateau capsized. It could not be learned how it hap ] pciicu. As neither of the gentlemen returned to their homes in time to go to work, a search for them was inaugurated. The lifeless body of Mr. Walker was found on one of the hooks of the trot line. The body of Mr. Dickson was found about noon about 50 feet below where the boat turned over. Mr. Walker and Mr. Dickson were brothers-in-law. They were electrical engineers and were in charge of the power house at the dam. They had been connected with the company only four or five months. Both were about 25 years of age. Mite Box Brigade. The Florine McEachern Mite Box Brigade will meet next Friday afternoon at five o'clock at the residence of Mrs. C. R. Brabham.
