In the face of the old adage, “His tory repeats itself,’’ wo generally find ourselves enjoying the ^pleasures or bearing the sorrows and struggles of the “now,” too often forgetting to take any note of the “afterwards. Wo are human, all of us, therefore animal in our natures and tenden cies. But still there is something :n the word which attracts us and makes us think—those of us who can take our attention from the affairs of life long enough to think, and yet we do not seem to comprehend its meaning. Afterwards! We fill our respect ive little nitches in life; we toil for success, struggle with poverty, make ourselves loved or hated by trying to do what we consider our duty, rise and fail and rise again in the battle, meeting the opportunities of life as they come, and when the dark clouds of defeat and discouragement gathers thick upon us, we are almost ready’ to cry out, but “afterwards” the rays of the sun is warmer perhaps or our circumstances are made less favor able as the case may he and we be gin to realize that we are “running the same course that our fathers have run.” Afterwards is a period in eternity towards which all of us are drifting, and which we all must reach; old and young, high and low, rich and poor. The afterwards will surely depend upon what each of us makes of the “now.” subject to a supreme agency. This applies in all matters in life. In religion and secular affairs. A short year ago the big Conven tion, now with us met in Darlington Some of us were there. We grasped hands in loving friendship long un clasped ; we formed new ties, heard new’ voices and entered into new plans and were acted upon by new influences. A year lias passed and the Convention i-with us We gaze about US for friends we saw there that are no longer to be seco listen for voices that greeted our ears that are now hushed. We hear and feel and see the results of movements that were put on foot then and our mem ories go back and associate the two periods. This is the afterv.ards, but with us all it is also the now. There will be another afterwards, but what it is will depend on what we do with present opportunities. Gaffney peo ple have opened their arms to re ceive the Convention. They have done this, we believe, with the pur est motives, and the future will bring the reward Jn more ways than one. To a certain extent we are the archi tects of our own future. By our ef forts to help othersj to lighten their burdens, to brighten their paths, to improve our condition and to live W’ell, nobly and to a purpose, we fix the “afterwards.” What a year or lifetime may bring fortli we may not know, but, at least we can so live and act that afterwards in the great be yond there will be no cringing, shud dering consciousness that we are re sponsible for making it different from that which we would have it be. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Gaffney is glad to welcome you within her walls, gentlemen and la dies of the Convention. She opens wide her doors to you, and while wo know your stay here will be a pleas ure to us, we are especially anxious that you bo pleased with us and our institutions. We want you to feel that our homes are yours while here. We want you to be pleased with us and our town, so that when you re turn to your homes all over the state you can tell the people that Gaffney is the coming city. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Another uprising among the Cu bans is reported to be on foot. We suppose these will continue as long as'the United ^States have con trol of the island, but it is unfortun ate that the Cubans can’t realize that they are making their condition doubly worse by such rashness. American stubbornness, and power and money will win. Cuban inde pendence will be realized much quick er by patience. When Cuba shows herself capable of appreciating it, she will find independence waiting for her. The Slate newspaper of Monday contains the statement that the two senatorial candidates of Alabama, Johnson and Morgan, are adopting the campaign plane of Soutli Caro lina politicians, and are abusing each other with all sorts of ugly words and names, but doesn’t inform us if they have reached the nose-rubbing stage, therefore we will presume they haven’t been fully initiated yet. By the way, Alabama might do well, from a business stondpoint, to estab lish a great moral institution such as ours which we feel sure would enliven things considerable, besides it would probably be effective in starting up a new industry in her iron districts— that of manufacturing breastplates, PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

At first it was located in Greenville, and was known as the “Greenville High School.” In 1878 it was converter! into the “Greenville Military Insti tute” and thecourse of study enlarged so as to meet the wants of the major ity of tlx young men preparing for , the duties of life. In 1887 the Insti- ; lute was moved to Anderson, and Lh 1 * name changed to “Batrica. Mili tary Institute.” Titis school has now entered its thirtieth year. It has alwajs hud, and still receives a liberal support from that class of citizens who con cern themselves and take pains to bo informed about the course of study, the facilities for carrying out the pub lished course, the character and scholarship of the instructors em ployed, and inquire incidentally, if at all, concerning the price and number in attendance. This must be gratifying to Col. Batrick and his colleagues, for the Institute has always relied simply on its merits for patronage. The B. M. I. is not a mixed or co-educational school. It is strictly a military school for young men and boys over fourteen years old. The curriculum is broad, the discipline excellent, the moral and religious standard high. Col. Batrick has always advo cated a high ideal, and sought to give young men entrusted to his care, ele vated conceptions of life and its du ties, and to awaken in them a lauda ble ambition to make the most pos sible of their endowments. His suc cess is attested by the record made by his pupils, found in the pulpit, at the bar, in the medical profession, in legislatiue halls, and as presidents and professors in colleges as well as in the ordinary business pursuits of life. Tlitt Xiitloiiiil I'nlnii Gaffney Insurance Council National Union was organized last night in the Masnic Hall. The following officers were elected: Ex-president E. R, Cash; president; R. C.

Bresident Allen made a fine talk in acknowledgement of the honor con ferred upon him, and asked the hearty co-operation of the officers and members. The charter list numbers (50, and is representative of the best business and professional element of this city, nearly all of whom were present. This new council already surpasses any yet located here ; it has a bright future and doubtless will prove of much good socially, fraternally and in a business way. The work of or ganization was accomplished by Mr. Milton Reed, of Atlanta, who is agent for this Htate, and who wi'l remain here a few days longer in the interest of the local council, Mr. Reed says the charter list and application sheet is now open to all. Mr. J. AditUon Or4‘|-ory Dciul. Mr. J. Addison Gregory died at his home in this city yesterday morning after mat y months of severe illness. Mr. Gregory was u native of (San- luc.

Volunteers was oermanently disabled by a wound at the second battle of Manussas. The remains were buried at Limestone cemetery yesterday. THE MINISTER’S CON- FERENCE LAST NIGHT It Was Held in the Court House. SUCCESSFUL BEGINNING. .1. S. tlordoii Is EN'fU'il rresident inxl >1. A. Draw n Seerelary.—The Ue»utlfiil Ntnj;iii){ of I’rof. \Viilfson.--Dr t; 1’ Ervin Reiuls :i Paper. Last night at the court house the first ministerial conference was held. There was a good attendance and the interest manifest indicated that the present convention will the most successful convention ever held by the Baptist in this State. The meeting was called to order by J. A. Brown.Secretary of the Confer ence, who in his opening address paid a beautiful tribute to the mem ory of the former Bresident, Mr. J. S. Croxton. The opening hnmn, “All Hail the Bower ot Jesus Name,” was followed by a prayer by Mr. Langston. The third chapter of Cor. was read by M. W. Gordon, after which the congre gation was fed by the choir in that beautiful old hymn, “How Firm a Foundation Ye Saints of the Lord.” The second prayer was led by Mr. M. \V. Gordon, after which he made a short opening address, emphasizing the idea in the scripture previously read, that each minister is a builder, and the importance of the Firm Foun dation and mentioning that unless the material used was good the builder would suffer loss, though he himself, would “be saved as by fire.” After this address the congrega tion was led in the hymn “Stand up, Stand up for Jesus.” The convention then proceeded to elect its officers. Mr. Thomas nominated Mr. J. S. Jordon as president, Mr. Jordon was unanimously elected, and with ex pression of thanks took the chair. Mr. J. A. Brown was called by a unanimous vote to the secretary’s chair. A paper read by Dr. C. B. Ervin, of Wellford on the revised and other English versions, which was most in teresting and instructive even to this learned assembly. Brof. Wolfson, of Atlanta, charmed the assembly by rendering the hymn “Oh, to be noth ing, nothing only to lie at His feet.” A very forcible address was made ny Mr. G. B. Moore on “Modern Biblical Criticism,” an address show ing much study and deep thought. The closing prayer was led by Rev. A. C. Wilkins. The first meeting of the Ministers Conference was most pleasant, en joyed not only by the ministers but by the visiting friends also. The choir, under the direction of Brof. Wade R. Brown, added much to the pleasure of the meeting. The organ played by Brof. Johnson, was accompanied by the piano, played by Miss Steedly. C'onvenil tin Scinl il'tllimv. The chorus which has been trained by Brof. Wade R. Brown to make music for the convention visitors, quite captivated the large gathering last night by the fine way in which they discoursed the sacred songs. The convention people congratulate themselves on having such goed music. The Rev. James S. Jordan, who was elected president of the Minis ters Conference last night, is of (ireenwood county, and is very highly esteemed by his Baptist brethren all over the SU.te. Mr. Jor dan is not a native of the South, tiie place of his birth having been among the hills of far off Maine. But lie is very much Southern in spirit. When the war between the States broke out, Mr. Jordan came South and en listed under Lee, whoso fortunes he followed to the end. His father and brothers fought on the other side. After the war Mr. Jordan started to preaching out in the Northwest. But as soon as it would be discovered that he had been a “reb,” tl o brethren of those climes were no lon ger edified JJy his spiritual ministra tions. At lust he came South, and all who know him, hope lie will re- mcin South always modest, true, and gentle, lie is courageous and a true aoidier of the cross. It was a handsome and largo audi ence which assembled in the court house auditorium last night. They come from every section of tiie State, aud they are representative "people. Notonly wree there ministers present hut many laymen, lawyers, doctors and business men. A characteristic of this gathering as compared with those of former years is the consid erable number of ladies who have come to the assemblies. There are about fifty lady visitors present. There are about 9(5,000 white Bap tist people in South Carolina. These worship in 910 churches, have Bio ordained ministers, and are divided into 555 district associations. Tiie Baptist outnumber the largest other body of Christian people in the State by about 20,000, and are making gratifying forward movements all the time. One of the best known among the younger preachers at the Convention is the Rev. W. Edwin Thayer, of Ridge Spring. This young minister has recently received two very flat- te’ing calls to Jnew pastorates, one to Aiken, and the other to Rock Hill He has accepted the latter. Brof. Wolfson, of Atlanta, who rendered a much enjoyed vocal solo before the conference, won his au dience by a cute remark in his pre liminary remarks. “Of course the State of South Carolina is next in importance to'the State of Atlanta.” declared the gen tleman. Evidently Mr. Wolfson ap preciates the fact that some of At lanta’s boastfulness strikes other people us ridiculous. The seventy-ninth annual meeting or the State Baptist Convention will convene in the Court House in this city to night at 7 1 ho Itev. H. C. Buckholtz, of Chester, will deliver the introductory sermon. This will bo followed by the organization of the convention. TRANSPORT VICTORIA IN A FURIOUS STORM Vessel Forced Back to Port With Dying Horses. HAD STARTED FOR MANILA Soon After Lravinj' Seattle She Kn- countereri Kuiigh Weal her mid Many of the Animals on Hoard Were Lit erally INmiii.led to Death. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 28.—With a cargo of dying horses and mules and 55 empty stalls, the United States trans port Victoria returned to port last night, having been forced by an unprecedented stress of weather off Cape Flattery to turn back from her voyage to the Phil ippines. Of the 410 horses and mules carried by the Victoria, taken on board Nov. 23, 55 were literally pounded to death against the sides of their stalls in the storm aud the remaining animals are so badly bruised that tho officers of. the vessel believe that mauy cannot bo saved. The Victoria sailed for the Philip pines Nov. 23. As the straits were neared a high and dangerous sea was encountered and the ship pitched and rolled heavily, shipping seas fore and aft. The stress of weather increased as tho Victoria advanced toward tho open ocean. Uu the morning of Nov. 24 the vessel was rounded just outside the •traits with her head to the wmd. At 4 o’clock on the afternoou of that day she was tossing on the breast of the waves, described in the log as monntuin high, and tho strong gale blow thick with blinding mist. Tho transport-la bored heavily during the night and early the next morning steamed away to tho west, but began to roll so dan gerously that her head was again brought around to the wind. This day was a repetition of the preceding, with the addition of terrific squalls. The rolling and pitching of the ship now began to have its effect upon tho animals confined in their stalls. They had been pounded from side to side un til they were in a state of utter exhaus tion. Several died during the night and the next morning aud the constant attention of a veterinary surgeon seemed powerless to save them. Under such circumstances it was deemed best to re turn to Seattle. During the tripin, several horses died, bringing the number of deaths up to 55. Tho bodies of theauimals were weighted aud throjvn overboard as fast as death came. Purser Lockwood said that during 30 voyages he has made across the Pacific he has never seen such stress of weather as was encountered by tho Victoria. While tho storm was at its height oil bags were entirely emptied aud every thing done to ease tho motion of the ship. Aside from the loss of animals no other damage was done, the Victoria behaving splendidly. WANTS MONEY RETURNED. Governor MoMveen. y on Cotton Seized During t he War. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 28—Governor MoSweeuey has addressed a letter to the governor of each southern state, expecting unanimous support in his proposition, lie says: “Your attention is invited to the fact that there now remains in the treasury of the United .States in the neigubor- hood of $11,000,000 arising from the ■ale of cotton seized by the forces of tiie United Srates, and its treasury agents, during the period of the war andduring a few years thereafter. This money belongs to citizens of the southern states, whoso property was seized, shipped to New York city to the col lector of cu-toms aud by him sold and sent to the treasury of the United States. “It will be observed that this is not requesting from the government of the United States any appropriation of its funds tor the purpose of paying these demands, but is simply requesting it to do justice to certain of us citizens by returning them moneys belonging to them now in its trea«ury, long withheld from them wrongfully. “I take the liberty of suggesting to you that you join with me in a request to your congressional delegation that they unite with delegations from other southern states in an effort to secure for your people this measure of relief which, in this era of good feeling and reunion, it would seem the congress of the United States would make haste to accord.” FATALLY SHOT ASSAILANT. Arkansan Two Quick Kor n Negro Who At tacked Him. Washington*, Ark., Nov. 23—Cap tain S. E. Benson, father-in-law of James K. Jones, Jr., was waylaid by a vicious uegro named Julius Williams.

On his way home he was attacked by tho ne gro from ambush. Benson wheeled in his saddle and shot the negro in tho stomach, inflicting mortal wounds. A ReJ ct<*<l Liver Suicides.

Lovett, Ga , Nov. 27.—The friends of David M. Berdue and Duuiol W. Pope of this place, who died in Savan nah during the recent confederate re union, it is alleged, by reason of their blowing out the gas iu their room, claim that there is grave reason to be lieve tho men were victims of foul play. They say that both tho incu had con siderable sums of money with them which has never been accounted for, aud their bodies showed signs of vio lence. The belief is current here that they wore robbed and murdered and some of their friends intend to go to Savannah at once and institute a thor ough investigation. Tho Savannah coroner and police say the story that Pope and Purdue were murdered is groundless. The men lodged with a family of emiuent respectability. When they went to their room they wore cautioned about the gas aud re plied that they know all about it. They locked the door and went to bed. Tho next morning both men were dead and the gas was turned on. Dr. Norton was summoned aud pro- nounced death tho result of asphyxia tion. Coroner Goette investigated tho ■ case, but did not deem an inquest neces sary. The only effects tho men had were a bottle of whisky, a pistol and n dollar or two in change. The bodies wero taken in charge by the coroner, em balmed at tho request of a friend of the dead men and sent to Lovett, their former home. The wounds on tho bodies, Coroner Gootto says, wore probably the incisions ; made in embalming. There wero no marks of violence. BRUNSWICK FAIR OPENED.

In 1890 there was no College or prominent boarding school in South Carolina that was co-educational. The present*Bresident of the S. C. C. I. seeing this, and believing that the time had come when such an institu tion would receive a liberal patron age, laid the foundation for co-educa tion in Soutli Carolina, by opening sucli an institution. To-day co-educa tion is advocated by quite a number of our best colleges, rite S. C. C. I. was a success from the very begin ning. Year by year, the patronage has increased, and the standard was raised until now, our school is one of the best known, and one of the best patronized institutions in the state. Our buildings and equipments cost over $20,000.00 and owing to the in creasing patronage, we have found it necessary to add more rooms. Car penters are now busy at work on the addition, which wiii be completed and ready for use by December loth. Af ter that date we will be prepared to accommodate quite a number of ap plicants who are waiting to In* ad mitted. We now have 1553 students in the preparatory school, and 157 in the Collegiate department, making a total of 290 students. Of this num ber 117 are boarding students. The faculty consists of 17 teachers, eight men and nine women. In our faculty are graduates of tiie University of Virginia, New York Normal College Wi (lord College, University of Ken tucky, Columbian University, and many other institutions of note. Our vice president is Rev L. R. Gwultney, D. I). Dr. Gwallney is well at.d favorably known throughout the en tire south as an educator. The course of study of our institu tion is equal to that of the best female colleges in the state. Our course in pedagogy is very thorough, and ’our graduates are recognized among the most successful teachers in graded and high b.'hool work in South Carolina. For years we have made a specialty of this department. The faculty of the music depart ment is composed of five thorough and competent teachers. There are now 90 students studying music. We also give thorough courses in art, stenography, typewriting, book keeping, telegraphy, physical cul ture, elocution and military tactics. All of the stud mts from a distance board in tho institute buildings, and are at all^imes under the control and guidance of the teachers. We em ploy only Christian teachers, and there is not a school in the state that exerts a better moral and religious irfiuence over its students. An interesting feature of our insti-' iution is our Sunday school, which meets in the chapel every Sabbath morning. It is composed of tho teachers and boarding students. We think that a great deal of good is be ing accomplished for tho Muster’s cause. Our military department is well equipped with guns, and ail neces sary accoutrements for first-class training. There are two military com panies which are drilled daily. Capt. IU B- Cuin is the efficient command ant. While the S. C. C. I. is a co-odu- cntionul institution, our buildings are so arranged that the young men and young ladies are never thrown to gether only at stated times, and tiien under the watch care of the teachers We think we have one of the best college matrons in the world.
