I BAPTISTS PLAN ' \ A FUND The "Baptists of South Carolina are \ definitely cooperating- with the Baptists of the South in a great drive for subscriptions for missions, education and genera2. benevolence, in the sum of $75,000,000, to be raised on a five year plan during the eight days beginning November 30th and ending December 7th. South Carolina Bap-j tists have accepted as their quota in, the great drive the sum of $5,5000.000.. This constitutes th\e largest undertaking ever assumed by the denomination in South Carolina and in the South, by no means too large for them to raise with comparative ease. It only requires the general enlistment of all the membership. This will be done during the next fourj months through an organization,! which is being perfected, that will; reach every member in every church j throughout the State and the South. fAn every-member canvass of every church in the South will reveal their willingness to do a big thing and their ; ability to do far beyond anything that ha^ been imagined in all the past. 1 Tme Baptists are so numerous that no bfidividual will be caned upon xo uu; (more than they have ever done. J The big- campaign was opened for / South Carolina in Columbia Tuesday, 1 July 22nd, when there were assembled' I with the general organizers, the assojp ciation organizers and" publicity men1 from every part of the State. With but few exceptions every association was well represented. The leaders of the Women's Missionary Societies werei there in full force and are actively I participating in the campaign. The Baptist women of the South have agreed to raise one-fifth of the entire sum, or $15,000,000. The men and women who came togetner in Columbia exhibited an intelligent grasp upon the greatness, the worthiness, and the necessity of the undertaking, and [ ^ these qualities were matched by a burning enthusiasm to put the job over at whatsoever cost and in a truly ; 1 great and worthy manner. ! ( The headquarters of the campaign t in South Carolina are located at ; Greenville, with Drs. W. T. Derieux ^ and.Chas. A. Jones, General Directors, , - "President W. J. McGlothlin, of Fur fman University as State organizer, and Hev. Thos. J. Watts, State Sunday School Secretary, as State publicity di(p. rector. ^ a AX" OLD FAULT FINDER.

A ' lb.-' hundred years ago it cost twenty-five cents to send a letter more than 450 miles and a letter was defined as a single sheet of paper. In order to * leave out nothing of importance, fine penmanship was necessary. In those days no stamps were used. If the letter would travel under thirty ' miles the sender paid the postmaster six cents and that official marked the! letter with a word or symbol indicat- j ! ing compliance with the rules. Ten cents was charged for a distance less : than eighty miles, but more than thir" ty. The sender had to take his missive to a postoffice and the recipient had to go to his postoffice and call for } his mail.

Half ounce letters were transported three hundred miles or less for five cents or farther than this limit for the sum of ten cents. A new rate wont into eneci m 1S51. Letters were carried as far as three thousand miles for three cents or farther for six cents. Twelve y?warsl later the regulations were amended so that a message could he sent to any point within the United States for three cents, and in 1SSthis "amount was reduced to two. During the administration of Abraham Lincoln the system of free delivery was introduced into our largest citi< s. It grew and grew. Then some" thing like a score of years ago. it was extended to farmers and other residents of the country. And now let iers are aropped right at your door. When the nation was new. a manj astride a horse carried your letter to its destination; or. perhaps, a stagecoach transported it. These methods were displaced by the steam-driven train with special cars for the sorting and handling of the mail. Today the auto plays a prominent part and manmade birds of the air are shouldering a bit of the burden. Great strides have been made in the postal service. The letter, that long ago cost the sender twenty-five cents will now catch up with its address if; a little, every.day, red. two cent stamp appears on the upper highl hand corner thereof. <? <> Tin: GAINS FROM FDVCATIOX. i To judge the valuo of education solely by money, is a narrow way to look at it. Still it is all many people J consider. And even judged by that test, education abundantly makes good, j Figures of the earnings of college | Students at various periods after graduation show average salaries or other compensation very much above what :hese with les& schooling get. One of :he most interesting tests of the prac;ical returns of education was ma'&e a :ew years ago by people who not only figuratively but actually came from Missouri, namely, by the University >f Missouri. It was a study of returns j . f individual farmers in Johnson coun-j y, Missouri, made with a thoroughless that was convincing. It related >nly to farmers, a class some mem)ers of which were formerly skepti;al concerning the value of an educaion. A survey of 6 56 farms was made in his investigation, and out of these 'armers, 554 had had only a district ;chool education, while 102 had more :han that. Jt was found that the better educated farmers operated 333 per cent more . and, and owned four fifths of the land operated by the poorly educated farmers was owned by them. The edu-| fated farmers earned 71 per cent more .dear income, and kept one sixth morei stock. The amount of time a young person ponds in education for any calling is! 3nly a small part of his life. It can \ \ :lo one of two things, "no kind of education will give him exceptional! skill in some one calling, which will i be rewarded promptly by exception- j -.1 pay. And the other kind of ediu a. j ion will give him a general developo- j r-.ont of his faculties, enabling him to ! think, more ctlarly. broadly and com ;>rc *icii5: * ci> . iu \\ in t\ iiiuiAf iniviiiy en any line ho may take up. ? ?? ?
