NOTKS AND COMMKNTN. NOTKS AND COMMENTS. Neill still holds on to his ll.OOO.OOO bales estimate and some unscrupulous speculators are using every possible means to lower the price of cotton. But if the Southern people will keep their eyes open, they will come out on top. Five hundred British are reported to have been killed at Modder River* Five hundred noble lives sacrificed to satisfy the greed of an overpowering force. England will win in the end, very likely, but at what a cost? All her gains of victory, with years ot peace will not compensate for the blood poured out by her sons. ♦ ♦♦ ♦ We are glad to know that many complimentary things are being said by prominent visitors of the splendid manner in which the tJnlTney people are taking care of the delegates. When our people put their shoulders to !he wheel, something is going to happen. We feel glad to have all these good people in our midst and we like to show it by our acts. 1‘itmp.n, who wos tried in Charles ton this week for killing his brother in the lobby of a hotel in that city, lias been acquitted. The only weap on on the person of the dead man was a pocket knife, with which he had but recently used to cut a piece of tobacco, but 1‘itman swore that he shot his brother believing his life was in danger, and was promptly acquit ted. No outside person witnessed the tragedy, but the alfair looked sus picious and the people were much surprised at the verdict. GREAT STORM IN TEXAS. Wind atmi Hull Work Much lluvoc on th« (Jiilf Coast. Rockpout, Tex., Dec. 1. — Reports from a number of points tn the gnlf in this section show that the damage to property and loss of life by the recent severe storm were much greater than at first reported. A number of small fishing craft are missing, together with their crews. The bodies of James Sanders and two other v \ who have not yet been identifier, have been found in the month of St. Charles bay. Several thousand head of sheep and hundreds of head of cattle were driven into the gulf and drowned. One ranch man. George A. Brundrett, lost over b.OOO head of sheep in this manner. In Refugio and Aransas counties there was a terrific fall of hail. More than 700 head of cattle were killed by falling hail in the vicinity of the town of La mar. The windows of every house in Lamar were riddled. Holes were knocked through the roofs of many res idences. The wind which accompanied the hail uprooted large trees and blew sev eral houses from their foundations. Large flocks of geese and ducks were killed. In fact, every bird and small animal within the storm’s path were killed. The storm seems to have gathered its fnry about 15 miles southeast of Refu gio. increasing on its course toward the gulf, its path being about 0 miles wide. A CHARLESTON SENSATION. Man Fulls In nu Kffurt to Prevent HU Wife Ij •living. Charleston, Dec. 1.—Something of a sousation was caused at the Southern railway station in this city last evening by the efforts of Alex I. Easterby of Charleston to prevent his wife from leaving the city with Dr. J. P. Johnson of Ridgeville, S. C. It appears that Mr. Easterby and his wife have been separated for some time by mutual agreement, he doing noth ing for her support. Dr. Johnson has befriended the lady to the extent of en gaging her as his housekeeper and gov- ernsss for his children. Easterby objected to hit; wife accepting the place, which, howeve-r, is agreeable to her relatives and friends. The police refused to arrest Mrs. Easterby, when called on by her husband to do so, un less he had a warrant. She went away on the train. Easterby, it is understood, has en gaged an attorney to proceed against Dr. Johnson for carrying away his wife against his consent. Sims Gang ut Work Again? Mobile, Dec. 1.—Two fires at Thom- asville, on the western border of Clarke county, two at Bladen Springs, a fire at Silas and an attempt to burn Taylor Bros. ’ store at Barrysou, all in Wash ington county, all the fires having mys terious origins, have greatly alarmed the people in that locality, who are in clined to the belief that the old Sims gang is at work. Residents are up in arine and have established uightlygaard. An incident. Last night just before the adjourn ment, Pastor B. P. Robertson arose and asked the delegates uot to go off until Monday. After adjournment the preachers and delegates were go ing to their respective homes when one remarked to the other; “God bless bis little soul. I wanted to get up and make a little speech and tell him he could not run me off until Monday, for I am having a jam up good time." And The Ledger only hopes that this delegate only expressed the sen timents of all of them. CONVENTION SCINTILLATIONS. It is striking to note the number of young men among the ministers present. .y. .«/. The good weather, which continued up till yesterday, has departed to other climes. Alas! * * * Many of the high schools of the State are represented by their princi pals or some member of the faculty. * * * Dr. Leo Davis Lodge charmed the Convention in bis address last night. He was frequently interrupted by ap plause. * * * Dr. Kerfoct’s address was exhilcr- ating in a very high degree. Ho is conspicuously the right man in the right place. * * * Thank the Lord for the settlement of the Orphanage question. Let Mt. Zion rejoice and let the daughter of Judah be glad! * * * The Rev, L. C. Hinton, is one of the oldest ministers in the Conven tion, and hasQbeen a useful man in all his days. He was once the pas tor at Chester. * * * Dr. Osburn’s report on Foreign Missions was the best of the kind I ever heard. It ought to he published as a tract and given the widest possi ble circulation. * * V Mr. C. A. Smith, of Timmonsville, is one of the prominent young busi ness men in the Convention. He is a graduate of Wake Forest college, a scholarly and cultured gentleman and a good Baptist. * * * Editor \V, \V. Keys, of the Baptist Courier, who lias been delighting his many friends by his presence at the Convention fur several days, returned to Greenville last night. The Rev. Dr. Kerfoot also departed. .*/. .v. Dr. Willingham’s address was strong and tender. His words breathed and throbbed, and our hearts burned within us as he showed us our short comings and urged us to love more and do better. H* * ¥ One of the venerable and beloved ladies attending the Anniversaries is Mrs. Lawton, of Hampton county. .She is the mother of Missionary \V. W. Lawton, now of China, and a kins woman of Dr. R. J. Willingham. *• x- •* The Rev. Mr. Watkins, of Louis ville. Kentucky, an editor of the Baptist Argus, re*uched the city Wed nesday. The Argus is a bright and clean publication, and quite a num ber of the South Carolina preachers read it. * * * Cap . John H. Montgomery is an interested spectator at the Conven tion and also a delegate. The Captain is broadly known and esteemed in his denomination, in which he, with Mr J. A. Carroll, is known as the foster father of Limestone. Rev. Juhez Ferris, who read one of the papers in the Minister’s Confer ence, is a native ojj the North. He is a most lovable gentleman, and one of the best preachers present. He is of that type that every preacher would like to have for tiis pastor. * * * Mr. W* D. Alderman, of Alcolu, is at the Convention. He is a lum bering of the low country. Alcolu is a town near Sumter on the Coast lino railroad, and was built by Mr. Alderman. He is very wealthly and is a warm-hearted and inllucntial Baptist. * * *• A prominent gentleman at the meetings humorously remarked to a friend that there were three widows in the home in which he is a guest, and Ihrt he is meditating asking the Convention President to take a hand primary to find how many widows are present at the convention. * * * Dr. W. C. Lindsay is the pastor of the First Baptist church at Columbia. He is a quiet participant in the Con vention, us is his custom to be. But the Doctor is most highly esteemed by all his ministerial confederates, and is a practical philosopher, a splendid preacher, and a gentleman of remarkable social talent. ■x- * * Among the prominent laymen del egates are J. L. Stribble, of Ander son ; Dr. E. C. Ridgell, of Batesburg; Dr. Lancaster, of Glenn Springs; F. N. Allen, of Greenwood; L. F. Dorn, of Parksville; W. H. Lyles, of Colum bia ;Zimraerman Davis and Simeon Hyde, of Charleston; Dr. B. Rut ledge, of Florence, and others. * * * , The ladies who are attendihg the tlie Convention, both the visitors and the the ladies of the city aid grace and beaty to the assemblies, and there is a large attendance of both classes. One who thinks he is a judge—most men do—says he thinks it is a remarkably handsome set of ladies. The men present a line ap pearance also. ¥ ¥ ¥ Du itea number of delegates and visitors have taken advantage of their presence in Gaffney to visit the his toric Limestone College. It is need less to say President Lee Davis Lodge has been receiving his visitors with smiles and urbanity. It is clear to see that the star of Limestone is growing ever brighter and climbing toward the zenith. * * * Miss Eliza Hyde, of Charleston, has the unique distinction of bei ig the only lady missionary out of about eighty working under the State Mission Board. And Secretary T. M. Bailey declares that she is the best missionary of them all. She is lending interest to the Woman’s Mis sion meetings which are being held daily at the Presbyterian church. * * * The Rev. E. E. Bomar, I). ])., of tlie Convention, is well known in these parts, his native place being Spartanburg, Dr. Bomar is the vice- .-president for South Carolina of the Foreign Board. Until recently he was the pastor of the Aiken Baptists. Several good churches have a squint of the eye in his direction. He is one of the most lovable and beloved of the younger men in the Convention. * * * Prof. John W. Gains is another of the military looking gentlemen. Prof. Gains is a native of Anderson county, but is now principal of the Welsh Neck High School at Harts- ville. The High School is in a flour ishing condition and is in one of the best sections of the state. The build ing equipment of this school is first- rate and growing all the time. I‘rof. Gains is a lovable Christian gentle man. * * * Tlie Rev. W. E. Johnson, who made the speech on the State College mat ter Thursday night, is one of the growing men among the Baptists. iVithout passing an opinion on the principles at stake, his speech was live and bright and forceful, and full of facts. He has a bull-dog tenacity when he takes up a matter, and a happy vein of humor. He is a good preacher and is pastor of the Bain- berg church. * * * Rev. I. W. Wingo and Ilev. G. T. Gresham, co-principals of the Oam- pobello High School, are at the Con vention, in which they are botli hon ored and esteemed ministers. At one time Mr. Gresham was the sec retary of the Convention and made a good one. The High School is doing an excellent work. It is located on the spurs of the Biue Ridge, and it furnishes good educational advan tages for marvelously low rates. o * * X The Baptist women are holding some very interesting missionary meetings at the Presbyterian church. Miss M. L. Coker, of Society Hill, is the president of the woman’s society, and Miss Kate Sloan, of Green vile, is presiding for her by request. Dr. T. M. Bailey, Dr. Willingham, and other distinguished speakers have addressed them. Besides which many excel lent addresses and papers have been presented by the ladies themselves. * * * The Rev. J. L. Yass, superintend ent of the Orphanage, ma le a speech which touched the Convention, in of fering his resignation last night. His resignation is put in from the fact that some persons in the denomina tion cannot he reconciled to him. The Rev. A. T. Jamison, who was elected to succeed him, is a popular and good man. The finest spirit was shown in the Convention in the mat ter which has made trouble for some years. ¥ ¥ ¥ The third gentleman in a uniform is Prof. C. J. Owens, president of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute, which is in a very flourishing condi tion. Prof. Owens is quite a young man, hut has already proven himself to have remarkable executive ability. Especially the young ladies will no tice that Prof. Owens is quite hand some. It will he of interest to them to know that he is unmarried and le gitimate prey to the fascinating ef fect of liquid ejes, fair looks and winning ways. * * ¥ Prof. F. N. K. Bailey, one of the three young looking gentlemen in the Convention, who are dressed in the uniform of a United States military officer, is the principal of the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute at Edgefield. He is a chip of the old block in executive ability anil adapt- ibility—the old block in this case being Dr. T. M. Bailey, of the state mission board. There is in his school tiie remarkable attendance of 2‘JO students. The buildings of the school are large and handsome. The school is the property of Principal Bailey himself. ¥ ¥ ¥ President H. S. Hartzog, L. Ij. D., of Clemson college, was in the Con vention last night. President Hart zog is of a Barnwell Baptist family, and also a Baptist minister. He is a brilliant young gentleman, and is engineering Clemson as well as can be done. But there is many a Scylla and Charybdis in the promises which the talented president will need keen eyes to keep off of. And it seems that he knows how to do it. The happy smile on President Hart- zog’s face is a part of his normal equipment. ¥ * ¥ Mr. A. Poindexter Taylor, of Green ville, was elected by the Board of Trurtees on yesterday to take charge of tlie Primary Department of Fur man University. Mr. Taylor is a son of Dr. J. B. Taylor, a prominent Bap tist minister, now Superintendent of the Baptist Orphanage in Georgia. Mr. Taylor is a graduate of Washing ton uml Lee University and attended Wake Forest. He was once the pres ident of the Jeter Institute, Virginia. Later, he was principal of the Welsh Neck (Hartsville, H. C.) High School for three years. In accepting the po sition Prof. Taylor is but returning to a work with which he is familiar and for which he is well fitted. This selection will give general satisfac tion. Col. John B. Patrick, the well known chief of the historic Patrick Military School, located at Anderson, is u member of the Convention. Col. Patrick is a native of Barnwell coun ty, S. C., a graduate of the South Carolina Military Academy in the class of ’o5, later a tutor in Furman University. He was then a professor in the South Carolina Military Acad emy. In the war he saw service with the corps of State cadets. After the war he taught in Greenville and in Furman, and in 1870 he founded the military school which bears his name. The school is now located in Ander son in good buildings in a lovely grove, and the Colonel and his assis tants are doing some of as fine educa tional work as is being done in any school of its order anywhere. Them is no safer man to whom to jmmit the training of a boy. CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS. What Was Said and Done Yesterday BY BAPTIST BRETHREN. The Forty-Fifth Anutial Koport of flu* State Mission Itoanl Dr. Vasn ItesiKiis (lie Siiperinteiifleney of tlie Orphanage mill Mr. .lamIson is Fleeted The meeting of tho Baptist State Convention was held in the interest of Home, State and Foreign Missions. After the meeting was called to or der by the president, Mr. W. E. G. Humphries conducted the devotional exercises, opening with song and prayer. Tho third chapter of the first Epistle of John was read by Mr. Humphries. The minutes of the preceeding meetings were read by Secretary Er vin. Tho courtesies of the floor were ex- tendtd to Mr. J. M. Frost, secretary of the Sunday School Board. The fifty-fourth annual report of the Home Mission Board was pre sented by Mr. Pearson. The amount raised and expended by this hoard during the year amounted to iJ'fil.T'.M. This work lias been greatly blessed’ of the Lord. The hoard has been for tunate in securing the services of Doctor Kerfoot as corresponding see- retary and in retaining its Doctor Tichenor. Mr. Pearson made an appeal to the minister to secure general contribu tions from their inemln rships. thus increasing the amount contributed by South Carolina. Dr. Kerfoot ad dressed the Convention about Home Missions, of the importance of this work, of tlie relations of this country of ours, which is one of the first if not the first nation of tho earth. During the past few years the United States of America has obtained posi tion and power such as it never had before. She is compared to Liberty Enlightening the World. The liberty with which America enlightens the world is religious liberty. Other countries have known civil liberty, hut no nation has known religious liberty as our people today. Amer ica stands with the flaming torch of the Gospel to enlighten the worid. Within the territory of the South ern Baptist Convention are three- fifths of the Baptists of the world, and today the Baptists in this sec tion are nearer one in Baptist doc trine than Baptists anywhere else on the face of t he earth Dr. Kerfoot told of the great work before the Southern Baptist Conven tion, of the needs in the southern territory for this mission worK. Since this Southern Convention was organized 18to, it has done a marvelous work, yet tin re are today twelve millions of unconverted peo ple within its limits. One of the most important parts of the work is the frontier work, which has been greatly blessed. The work before tho Board to he done in Cuba is great and not to he neglected. Home Missions is the foundation of this great structure. Give the light to our people and they will help to give it to others. Dr. Kerfoot closed by distributing cards to be signed to assist in obtain ing the constituency of the people. Dr. E Y. Mullins, of the Southern Baptist Seminary, was present and was introduced to the Convention. Dr. Mullins expressed ids pleasure in being able to attend the meeting. State Missions followed. Dr. Thomas read the report of the Executive Board. Seven churches previously assisted by this Board have, during the past year, become self-sustaining. Im portant and successful work is being done in the manufacturing districts. Efforts are being made by this Board to counteract the false teachings in the State by inculcating sound doc trine. The work is so great that more money is needed. At least fifteen thousand dollars. The work of State Missions is the supreme, pre-eminent, work of this Convention. Mr, (). Ij. Martin made an appeal for tho board to the Baptists of South Carolina for more liberal support. In this talk Mr. Martin paid a splendid tribute to the secretary of the State Board. Mr. R. N. I’ratt, of-Oolumhia, also made a short talk in which he tells of the greatness and grandness of the work, it is God’s work and will suc ceed. Dr. Bailey then addressed the meeting. j\fter Dr. Bailey’s address a contribution was made for State Missions, which amounted to about *1,2:5:}. 00. Among those who contributed were: Doctor J. M. Frost, for the Sunday School Board,Nash ville, Tenn $ 1 oO ('.() Dr. Harvey Hatcher for tho American Baptist Bubiica- tion Society, Atlanta .200 00 S. B. Ezell . GO 00 Tbit Manning church .100 00 \V. E. Thayer . 7f> 00 Greenwood church . 2o 00 \Y\ N. Henson . 2f> O J South Carolina Baptists . 25 00 Dr. Ramsey . 25 00 L. M. Rice . 25 00 F. B. Covington . 25 00 First Church GalTnoy . 25 00 S. R.

The ready response to the call for help is proof of the earnest ness and zeal of the workers in the vineyard. The last subject on the programme was Foreign Missions. This report was read by Dr. A. C. Osborne, of Columbia, giving a full account of the work of this Board. In Africa there are till missionaries; Slt> in India; in China, ofi?; in Japan, tlie West Indies, the islands of tho Pa cific, and others, there are fi.fiOO or- d lined missionaiies. These figures are mostly for tlie year^SDO. The cost of the work during that year was ijiBj 1 123,318 1 00. Them are more calls from the heathens themselves to “Como over and help us," than all the societies and all the organizations are able lo respond to. As the time for adjournment was passed and the work not completed, an afternoon service was called, in order that Dr. R. J. Willingham might present to the Convention the claims of Foreign Missions. Afternoon Session. The Convention met at 3 o’clock, and after singing and prayer by sev eral brethren, discussion ot Hie sub ject of Foreign Missions was opened byRev. J.J). Huggins, who told an affecting incident of prayer for mis sions and missionaries Rev. E. E. Bomar, vice-president of the Foreign Mission Board for South Carolina, made a short speech of a very prac tical nature, calling attention to the need of a forward movement for all benevolent work as well as the strictly missionary work, nourished by this Convention. After song and prayer he was followed by Kev. Dr. It. J. Willingham, corresponding secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Willingham’s address was eloquent, uplifting and intensely spiritual. Among ong other things he said: We should pray for the coming of thy kingdom, “Thy Kingdom Come’’ yet we should have patience with the subject of foreign missions as God had patience with the human race and had taken years to carry out His plans. J’aiil was patient in his we!!' doing for missions. Dr. J. 15. Hart well wrote a few days ago that again he was going to China, unwearied and filled with enthusiasm. Dr. It. If. Graves, though getting oid, is both patient and enthusiastic in mis sion work. Yet sinner * have no pa tience with foreign mission work. Neither has the devil. Sometimes the devil gets into the church and (•veil into tlie preachers and makes them oppose foreign missions, or at least lose patience with it. Tho Dr. sometimes does his work through God’s people, and often his most ef fective work indirectly, as by sug gesting a small or heart less collection aim prayvriess effort <. The devil sometimes gets the church to do his work by getting in debt. They let the debt plead as an excuse for not giving to God’s work, 1 am in this work because it is God’s work, it is God who asks us for money. I am hut your servant. The benighted condi tion of the heathen would appeal to us to do the work and do it quickly. Those of you who have been in for eign lands eat) teli whet her or not. the light of the gospel has come in by the very looks of the houses ami peo ple. Tho awful conditions of the Islands of tiie sea cannot hear telling, yet the light of Christ has gone into that land and transformed whole coun tries. The colossal scheme of Cecil Rhodes for building a railroad from Egypt to the Capo is not only for the nmi n and commerce, hut for the King. So the great Trans-Siberian railroad. God is bringing us close together. God will give a blessing to the Snulli Carolina Baptist if we get down to his work and curry the light to darkened souls. If you want a re vival, work for missions, not for a new carpet in the church. You or dered us to increase our work 2b per cent. \Ye have already sent out eleven new missionaries since the last Convention, Two, Rev. Mr. Crocker ami wife from this Association. Bro. Cueen went to China in answer to the prayer of Ids line companions in Wake Forest College and of Dr. Hart well in China. There are many su *h cases. God is blessing us. The work is prospering. Bray God to raise up workers and means to carry on the work. The .South China mis sion, in nine mouths, has had 410 baptisms, the last, three months 203. In North China mission, 123 baptisms in nine months. The South Ameri- con work is prospering. Recently a man went 400 miles to get someone to baptise him. The address was well received by tlie intelligent crowd present. Session. The meeting was opened with the doxology, followed by prayer. A telegram hearing greeting from the students of tlie South Carolina Theological Seminary was read by the president. Tho secretary was instructed by the Convention to re spond to the telegram. Dr. Mullins, of Louisville, gave an address in re gards to the Seminary. The Semi nary’s prospects are bright beyond expectation. There are two hundred and forty names on the matriculation books, and a number more expected. Of this number fifteen ure from South Carolina. Dr. Mullins ex pressed his gratideation that the Sem inary had received such excellent no tice in lhe report from the Board of Education, and asked for the sympa thy and prayers of our people, and gave an outline of the work of the Seminary. Tho contributions to this cause amounted to about $830. I he rep >rt of tho trustees of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage was read by Mr. Coving. The institution is in a nourishing condition, and has recently received a bequest of about $3000, which will soon be realized. Mr. Yass made a short talk to the Convention, expressing his apprecia tion of tlie kindness and assistance lie has received during his term in office from them and from the forty thousand Baptists they represent, and requesting that Ids name be not used in the election for superintend ent. Tho election of superintendent for tho Orphanage was entered into. Dr. Ramsey, in a most pleasant speech, nominated Mr. A. T. Jami son and Mr. Jamison was unanimous ly elected as Mr. Yass’ successor. Mr. offered tlie follow ing resolution which, by a rising vote of the entire Convention, was re ceived: ' “Resolved, lliat Brother Yass, in retiring from the superintendency of the Orphanage, has the love, confi dence and gratitude of the members of this Convention," Mr. Jamison has not accepted the position which tho Convention so earnestly wishes him lo have. Mr. i Jamison did not know his name was J to be presented for this office and de sires time for consideration. This closed the business for the) evening, hut not the pleasure. Dr. I Lodge was requested by tlie Conven- i tion to address the assembly. Lime stone’s Bresident made an eloquent address in behalf of tiie institution, and must have added many names lo the already long list of Limestone’s friends. Mr. Hartzog, Bresident of Clemson College, was present and expressed his pleasure in being able to attend, that lie had come for the good he would receive from attendance upon the Convention and not to look for boys or a preacher. Mr. Hartzog was heart ily welcomed by the Bresident for the Convention. Adjournment. j\|>|ioiiitiiu-ntN for Sunday. The following are tiie appointments for preaching on Sunday.
