Twenty years ago the South produced less than 200,000 barrels of oil a year. West Virginia alone is now producing over 15,000,- 000 barrels a year, and the extension of this oil field into Kentucky and Tennessee and into the father South is every day being emphasized by the boring of new wells; while, turn ing to the Gulf, Texas has startled the world with an oil supply so far beyond our comprehension that it is almost folly to attempt to predict what may be its influence in revolu tionizing many of the industries of Europe as well as of America. But the statistics which tell the story in cold figures of what has been accom plished, and tell how our pig-iron production has grown from less than 400,000 tons to 2,600,000 tons, our cotton mill capital from $21,000,000 to $15,000,000, our total manufac turing capital from $250,000,000 to $1,100,000,000, our exports through Southern ports from $261,000,000 to $510,000,000 tell us really but a small part of that which has been accom plished.” NOTES AND COMMENTS. The senatorial bee still seems to be buzzing in John Gary Evans’ ear. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We thought the days of carpet baggers were past In South Carolina, but W. L. Harris, of Ohio, has been appointed postmaster in Charleston. * « * * McLaurin has been appointed a judge of the court of claims by Teddy. The job lasts for life, and pays as much as a senator gets. It seems McLaurin has landed. He attempted a big work for the enemy and failed. It is but just that the enemy should pay him for it. * * * * We are having unusually cool nights for this season of the year, however, the Ruler of all nature knows best what we need and has a full conception of what we deserve. * • * • The State Convention Is over with, and the candidates are eagerly await ing the opening of the campaign, when each one will have an oppor tunity to expose the falacies of bis opponents and stand out as an ex ponent of what bis ownjgood self can and will do for bis constituents. * * * * The government report sent out last we<k shows that the cotton crop generally throughout the cotton belt is in a very promising condition. With the txception of portions of the Carolines and Louisiana the stands are reported good with satisfactory germination. In Houthern Texas the crops are advancing rapidly. * * * * The editors of the newspaper fra. ternity are away from their respec tive places of business this week at- teudir g the Htate l J r.*ss Association, now being held in Georgetown, 8. C , so the poor “devils” have to do the best they can in the way of getting out the papers and the performance of other duties not otherwise having been incumbent upon them. What Will W* I>«* Without SlnifiiiK - .* What is more pleasant than to meet together and sing praises to God? What would our Sunday school be without singing? and when we feel cast down and our hearts are weary an sad, what can revive us more than singing? Singing has been the means of bringing many souls to Christ. I once read a story of a boy and a girl,—they were brother and sister. Their Sunday school teachers had faithfully sought to bring them into the fold of Jesus, but as yet neither bad felt the power of His low, for neither had given bis or her heart to Him. They were not untouched, however, by the Saviour’s dying love, for tbeir careful borne training and instructions of tbeir parents, and Sunday school teachers bad often drawn them toward the Saviour as with a cord of love. They were fine singers, and one Sunday afternoon they were practicing an Easter song and the song affected them so that they both soon became Christians. This Is the song they sang: I love to slnjt of that Great Power That rules the earth and sea; But, better still, I love to slnj? Or bow Jesus dlsd for me. I love to sltiK of shrub and flower, Of field and plant and tree— My sweetest note forever Is He died and rose for me. I love to hear the little birds Attune tbeir notes with Klee; But little birds can never sing That Jesus died for me. I love to think of anjrel’s song From sin and sorrow free; But angels cannot strike their notes To “Jesus died for me." 1 lovj 'o know the time shall come .. uen men rnay happy be; But I am happy now, because He died ana rose for me. 1 love to speak of God and Heaven And all its purity; God Is my father. Heaven my home. For Jesus died for me. When 1 have reached the happy place, From all temptation free, i’ll tune my ever rapturous notes With “Jesus died for me." There shall 1 at i.is sacred feet AdorinK, bow the knee, And praise Him tbrouKb the endless years Who died and rose for me. M K8 Ethel McCraw. Daughters Meet.
