CIIK 1ST IA N EDUCATION. Truly, this is the day of schools— of Christian Education. One can hardly open a newspaper of conse quence without seeing the announce ment of some high school college or university, male or female, where the boys and girls, now growing into manhood and womanhood may at the least possible expense have their minds Jdeveloped and trained. We can count ten such institutions in the upper part of the State—run and sup ported by the different denomina tions, where the young men and women can be educated in the truest sense—under whole some, religious influence. Without this, the education is incomplete. This is important to the citizenship of the state, and the influence these institutions will surely have on our future, cannot be estimated. The people are rapidly realizing the im portance of this fact and are sup porting the schools and colleges bet ter than ever before. This is as it should be and they should receive stronger support. The reports from the schools are encouraging. It is in spiring tojsee the denominations mak ing sacrifices in order to extend the influence of Christianjeducation. We had rather see a people willing to help themselves in the matter of ed ucation, than to see them grovel after the crumbs pitched to them by the state, besides, without any choice on their part, being taxed to educate others. Paternalism should not be encouraged, and the tax-payers will one day have their eyes opened. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Admiral Dewey has emphatically announced, at last, that he will not bo a candidate for the presidency. He need not have gone to so much trouble—the people announced that sometime ago. Marcus Aurelius Hanna is reported to have been retired from the general management of the Republican party. We suspect that if this be the case the powers that be have so arranged the matter as to have a string still tied to Mr. Hanna’s pocket-book. The state newspapers fall out with (iov. Rosevelt for appearing ego tistical, by using the personal pro noun so often in his speeches. It seems that a man who has done as much for his country as Rosevelt—u hero amid the shot, and smoke and thunder of battle, as well as a states man and u patriotic citizen in peace— might very well be excused for the frequent occurrence of his “I’s” and ‘‘me’s.” His most entertaining speeches relate to actions in which he took part, therefore require it. Gov. McSweeney’s effort to get the claims of southern people, whose cotton to the amount of about $11,- OuO.OOO was seized during the war by the Northerners and the proceeds placed in the Tnited States Treasury, where it still remains, is a laudable one and should succeed. The people entitled by right to this money have waited long and patiently. The next congress will be asked to pass a bill allowing the claims, and if our northern friends are sincere in their profession of friendship, let them come out and help to right a wrong of long standing. Such action would tend to cement still closer the friendly feeling between the two sec tions. We note that Greenville and Char leston are finding some difficulty in enforcing the vagrancy laws. Both cities seem to be doing their best in the matter and are continually bring ing up cases for punishment, but this does not seem to lessen the fre quency of the cases being brought before the authorities. We admire the measure in which these cities are undertaking to put a stop to this of fense. Every other town in the State should instigate measures to the same end. Vagrants—arother name for habit ual loafers—have no place in our thriving, progressive State and the authorities should have it so under stood. Vagrancy endangers thrift- lessness and leads to crime. We think Gaffney could very well take some steps along this line. There are those on our streets from day to day, white and black, worthless charac ters, who should be given an oppor tunity to point out the manner in which they make their support. Such action would be appreciated by the good people of the town. CONVENTION SCINTILLATIONS. CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS. Rev. J. D. Huggins, who is report ing for The State, is the pastor of churches in Sumter county. He is a good preacher and a first-rate fellow. He has been reporting the Conven tion for the State newspaper for a number of years. Rev. O. L. Martin, the Bishop of the First Baptist church at Ander son, has recently resigned the pasto ral care of that very strong church. He is a man of influence among the Baptists, a strong preacher, an origi nal thinker and an original case. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Rev. Dr. C. C. Brown, the Sumter bishop, is a humorist and a thoroughly diligent worker of unfail ing resource. He is in charge of the Aged Minister Relief Board of the Baptists, and has been pastor at Sumter ever since he finished his the ological training, twenty-five years ago. He is a writer who gets inspir ed when he writes—a prolific writer who never goes bogging for readers. If you should wish to know this gen tleman, look for a preacher with a silk hat on among the Convention visitors. He is the only Baptist preacher in South Carolina who is ac customed to wear a silk hat. And the preachers only let him come to it by degrees—the hut went through a pro cess of evolution from a felt head- cover. It was only after years that it reached its present height and dig nity. The Baptist preachers of the state dislike silk hats, kid-gloves, canes, and “ministerial” looks. Rev. D. M. Ramsey, I). 1)., presi dent of the Boardjof Trustees of Fur man University and the Greenville Fe male College, made a capital and opti mistic adderss last night, in which he was optimistic as to the present and future of Furman. He paid a compli ment to the Piedmont belt of the State. The Rev. Frank Howard Kerfoot, I). 1)., the new’secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Bap tists, located at Atlanta, reached the Convention yesterday. Until re cently this gentleman was professor of systematic theology in the Theo logical Seminary, at Louisville', Ken tucky. lie is a capital public speaker and the public may expect a fine speech from him about the Home Mission work before the Con vention adjourns. When Secretary Key, of the Fur man Board of Trustees, was dilecting last night, in a way that makes a man’s mouth water, upon the health- giving.Jgeneral-toning j up and cure- all properties of the water and shade and wind and scenery around the hotel [near the stone-headed Caesar, up in the spurs of the Blue Ridge, Dr. T. P. Bell remarked soto voice: “It must be better than pain killer and almost as good as Royal Germa- teur.” Cassar’s Plead is truly an ideal summering place. The Baptist Courier has a large box of handsome Holman’s flexible- back. self-pronouncing Bibles on hand in a room under the Conven tion Hall, for the benefit of the dele gates and the Gaffney subscribers. It is a book which sells for ijt;i 00. The Courier gives it away for fjil.OO. Call on Rev. V. I. Masters at the close of the morning session or some other time today and get this remark ably cheap book. One of the most scholarly and fin ished ministers and teachers in the Convention, as well as one of the best men, is the Rev. A. C. Osborn, D. D., President of the Benedict Col lege, of the South Carolina colored Baptists, located at Columbia. Ben edict College has the largest endow ment of r.ny denominational college in South Carolina. This will be an eye-opener to many. Socially Dr. Os born is a cultured and kind gentle man, who wins his way to the heart and confidence. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Among the prominent Baptist vis itors is Dr. W. H. Timmerman, the honored Treasurer of the State. The Doctor is a good Baptist of broad in fluence, and an undoubtedly good man—something not too often found in a political character. Dr. Montague’s address lust night was masterly. IDs strictures as to the injustice done the people in the system of public appropriations to education in which the common schools are neglected was powerful, and the large assembly was evidently with him. He insisted that there should be a re-adjustment of these expenditures. If the people of Gaffney do not know a great deal more when the Convention is over, it will not be be cause they have not listened well to many addresses. And the general tone of the speeches so far has been fine and instructive. Speakers made addresses for education last night. The Rev. R, E Peele, is the wit of the Convention, just as Dr. C. C. Brown is its humorisU Mr. Peele has not been heard from thus far. There are many who will bo delighted if something draws him out into a speech. Mr. Peele is a devout and good preacher and pastor, and has a bright and active mini. He is the pastor of churches in Dar lington county. One of the reporters had the fol lowing “copy” for his paper on a sheet of paper at the report’s table last night. Another reporter pur loined it. Read it: "Preachers are often tried because some people sleep at church and not at Conventions. But let me encourage the brethren. As I look around me while a speech is in progress at this instant, I see not less than twenty-five persons asleep. Brethren, be of good cour age!” Morning, Afternoon and Ev ening Sessions.

Bailey, corresponding secretary of the Executive Board, showed a great work done and a greater yet to be done. The report of the Board on Minis terial Education was made by Mr. \V. VV. Key.* Seventeen students have been aided by this board during l i0 last year at an expense of $515.00. The board is now out of debt. Mr. Key also read the report of the treasurer of this board. The report of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage was made by Rev. J. L. Vass. Mr. Vass stated that the Or phanage was out of debt and a bal ance in the bank of seventeen hun dred dollars. The amount received since the last report was $9,904 53 while the expen ses amounted to $8,195 50. The outlook for the Orphanage is encouraging. Mr. Zimmerman Davis, of Charles ton, as treasurer of the Convention, made a report of the money which had passed through the hands of the committee. The visiting brethren were invited to seats in the Convention. The report of the Woman’s Mis sionary Societies was made by Mr. C. L. Dowell, of Society Hill. The receipts during the year amounted to $4,87(5 83, from 223 Woman’s Mis sionary Societies and over fifty child ren’s bands. The new pastors who have recently come into this State, were received into the Couvention upon the sug gestion of Mr. Martin. Amongtho.se received were Messrs. Kendrick, Ri ley and Jones, Mr. Thomas request! d that a special prayer be offered for members and friends of the Conven tion who are in affliction. There were quite a number mentioned as subjects in this prayer. Dr. Willingham made a special request that Mrs. W. E. Eutzminger, one of our missionaries in Brazil, he remembered also. Mrs. Eutzminger is the daughter of Doctor R. H. Griffith, whom we all knew and revered. Mrs. Eutzminger is suffering from ill-health in Brazil. Mr.Harvcy Hatcher,of Atlanta,gave a report of the great work being done by The American Publication Society. The talk by Mr. Hatcher was greatly enjoyed by the appreciative crowd. The Convention adjourned after the announcements were made. The clos ing prayer was led by Mr. Kendrick. AfUtriioon SoMsioii. The service yesterday afternoon was held in the interest of the Alumni Association of Furman University. At this meeting the Rev. J. A. Tate presided. Dr. C. 11.

A committee consisting of Messrs. V. I. Masters. W. E. Johnson and J. W. Gaines was ap pointed to select an agent in each as sociation to collect funds for the Al umni Hall. Doctor Judson gave much inter esting information in regard to Fur man und the ministers and delegates manifested their love for tho Uni versity by the interest they took in all that was done and their willing ness to help secure the necessary funds. Dr. Montague introduced Mr. Wharton, “one of Furman’s bright est gems.” who made an appeal to the Convention for co-operation in the work of their College paper Subscriptions were taken for the paper and Mr. Wharton must have felt much encouraged by the ready response to his appeal. The committee appointed to select an agent in each Association to col lect funds for tho Alumni Hall made the following report: Abbeville, J. A. Brown. Aiken. G. L. Knight. Barnwell, W. E. Johnson.

This meeting was in the interest M education. The first prayer was led by Mr. J. M. Frost, of the Sunday school board, which was followed by tho hymn “How Firm a Foundation.” The meeting was conducted by Dr. Ramsey, president of the boaid of trustees of Furman University and Greenville Female College. Dr. Ramsey gave a very pleasant talk about the work of these institutions, speaking with assurance of the bright things in tiie future forthem. After Dr. Ramsey’s talk, Mr. Key, of Greenville, read a paper and gave a talk in regard to the financial con dition of the University. Also Dr. Key spoke of the advantages of Cae sar’s Mead. The hotel property at this splendid resort is under the management of the board of trustees of Furman University, An address from Doctor Montague, President of Furman University, fol lowed. Dr. Montague presented to the Convention the report of the Committee on Education. In this report a welcome was extended to the President of Limestone College. In this report the great needs in education were emphasized. The first great need is improvement in the public school. Second, improve ment in the fitting schools. Third, that Baptists in South Caolina send their sons and daughters to their own denominational institutions; ami the need by these institutions for much more money than they are now re ceiving. Dr. Montague is so well known here that it is unnecessary to tell of the eloquence and power of the ad dress by which this report was fol lowed. Furman is truly to be con gratulated in the possession of its president. Mr. Stuhvorth, a member of its faculty, spoke in the interest of the Greenville Female College. He spoke of the success of the institution in spite of the competition andthe dark outlook during the summer. He asked in behalf of the College the full sympathy, strong support and liberal contributions from the Baptists of South Carolina. These addresses were followed by short talks from others interested in these institutions. They have many warm friends as is evidenced by the many talks made in their behalf. Mr. Jonnson’s talk was spicy and evident ly much enjoyed. After announcements and the re port of the committee on order of business, the meeting was closed by prayer by Mr. Parrott.

If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.
