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

a AX" OLD FAULT FINDER.
An irritable and fault finding disposi
tion is often caused by indigestion. A
man witt^good digestion and bowels
that act regularly is usually good 11atured.
When troubled with indigestion
or constipation take Chamberlain's
Tablets. They strengthen tho
stomach and enable it to perform its

THE STAMP OX YOVK LETTER 1
Why did our forefathers \% rite ex- '
?* ceedingrly small upon all occasions? 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. Xobody thought of our pres. ;
ent delivery system. ,
Stamps were,first issued in 1S47: ,

TORAiSE
OF $75,000,000.00
. t
on the third of March of that y^arj
Congress authorized five cent and ten |
cent denominations. 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 !

There's no reason why a person

feet substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid i
which will start your liver just as I
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take j
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is l
perfectly harmless. j
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is;
mercury and attacks your bones.Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and j
you will feel weak, sick and nauseati
