Sumter, Dec. 2.?The eightythird annual session of the Baptist State Convention met here tonight. W. J. Langston, of Greenville, preached the Convention sermon Text: 2d Ti mothy, Ch 2, v 2. 'I he speaker said the sermon would emphasize the importance of ministerial education ; the need of men to preach the Gospel, Paul showed that with increasing the world will need preachers in proportion to numbers of yet unborn millions. The duty of send ing these under shepherds rests upon believers today. We must realize responsibility resting upon us to supply means whereby these preachers may be prepared for life work. This responsibility is for both today and the future. Men enjoyed Gospel privileges not for their own sakes alone, but for others. Paul also cautions Timothy to be careful in selecting men to whom to commit preaching ; seek faithful men and sincere, those whom one can trust and who run toach Ths .v\.?rin.i ture demands for preachers those) who are faitful and able to teach. The Convention was called to order by President Key and delegates enrolled. Charles A. Smith, of Timmonsville, was nn animously elected president; L. C. Ezell and U. A. Styles, vice presidents Secretaries Ervin and Masters reelected; J. L. Vass, treasurer. Prof. Sampey, representing the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, addressed the Convention. President Smith is from Hartford County, North Carolina, 1861. He came to South Carolina ;n iqoo L 1 1 ? 1 in x(jon an a uuuuirj suuooi IHitCIl er; won esteem and confidence of all with whom he came in contact and a few years later went into the mercantile business, rapidly accumulated property and contributed liberally to all mission and benevolent objects, lie has been a lifelonp Baptist and labors in and out of season for the cause. He has served two terms as moderator of the Welsh Neck Association. He was elected vice president of the 8tat.e Oonvention last year and pretid' V cd at several sessions. Will make a pood presidinp officer and has the prayers of his brethren. The State mission board will report $18,000 contributed this year. Dr. llailey's face is aglow. A large number of delegates are here, many preachers having come to attend the ministers' conference. There were 231 delgates present at the Convention I in Green ville last year, and it is expected that many more than that number will attend this year nwinf to the central location of Sumter. Besides the accredited delegates there is always a large contingent of visitors who have no membership in the body. And many ladies attend. So the city of Sumter will have several hundreds of Baptists within her borders before thesettingof another sun. Great interests centres in the matter of the $125,000 endowment of Furman University, the pride of these Haptists hosts, which fund was to have been raised by popular subscription throughout the State within the eleven months between January 1 and December 1. The idea was to obtain 400 subscribers who would contribute $250 each to this fund in payments of $50 each, making five equal annual instalments. Every subscriber was required to give nis note for the amount of his subscription, and no subscription was accepted until some reliable bank had certified on the back of the note that it was good. It was expressly stipulated that no note would be held unles&the entire amount of $100,000 was subscribed by December 1. The idea originated with Mr. J. VV. King, of Dillon, and the task of raising the subscriptions was assigned to the Rev. Joel I. Allen. It was necessary for Mr Allen to make a personal canvass of the entire State in oiovou mourn*!, vimuiiK iiuity six associations in regular order. When it is known that these associations are composed of 925 churches with a total of 101,077 members, it will be seen how stupendoua was the task assigned to Mr. Allen. During the last six weeks, when it was seen that it was a physical impossibility for Mr. Allen to complete the canvass, four other gentlemen were asked to assist in the work. And they have won ! The $125,000 additional endowment has been obtained for the Baptist College in Greenville. Well may these workers reel proud an they contemplate the achievement. Of course, this matter has not been reported to the Convention in an oflieial way,but the fact is known just the name. Prof. C. II. Judhoii, as is known, offered to add $20,000 to the endowment if $105,000 should be raised by last night, and tiie full amount has been secured.

With the approach of winter weather and with the lowering and changeable tempreature of the season, the usual "colds" are sure to come. Already catarrh prevails to an alarming extent, on/1 no f i t 1*/* n f f o /> l? ? ? A " T ? uuu iuuov \ji 111 u ntiauivn ai o til n ] decidely grippy character. From the experience of past years it is safe to say that a vertable epidemic of such affections must be expected. , Ilow to prevent a "cold" is at this time a matter of no small importance. The question re , solves itself into an attention to little things in tho begining rather than more weighty ones at the i end. The weak mortal is most apt to suffer from auy epidemic influence. The overwrought in dividual is relatively in the same category. Thus it happens that the "cold ' seizes the victim when he is tired, and a draught that would not effect him undor other circumstances is quite sure to 1 show its malignant influence within a few hours after the slightest exposure. The shiver and chill are natures first warning of the trouble, then follow the irritation of the chest, the harassing cough, the sneezing naaal discharge and stufl'y frontal headache. The careful man heeda theae ay intoma at once, takea to hia room and uaea home remediea, but the daring and thoughtleaa one truata to the vain chance of roughing it through. Then alHo ' cornea in turn the old atory of "the neglected cold" and long list of lung affections that follow in its wake. 1 Catarrhal pneumouia, a moat fatal ailment, almost invariably commences with the simplest warning. Although the disease is considered infectious and due to a specifio microb, the latter organism uever attacks previously healthy tissue. The initiative cold places the mucous membrane of the air passages in a properly receptive condition for the elective invasion of the waiting organism Rapid changes of temperature especially with increased humidity and raw winds, are always dangerous. To overcome them man conserves the heat of his body with woolen underclothing and suitable outside covering. He , must need be al vays on the defensive. The lack of precaution is what must eventually shoulder the blame. The best defence against cold is what might be called a toughen ing process of immunity against changes. The person who is accustomed to a cold plunge the year round is seldom surprised by a frosty snap or a sneaking draught. On the other hand, the one who overheats his house, and bakes in the dry and suffocating atmsophereof most apartments is sure to suffer from the| slightest exposure. It is truthfully said that American houses are for the most part hot air ovens during the winter time. There is no doubt that this fact explains in & great measure the well-known prevalenoe of American catarrhs. The English fftr inifknoa with m m nra humid and equally changeable climate, are wonderfally immune against*4cofd;M an Americans view it, and thia ii due in no small measure to their'cooler arftf better rentilated homes, their out door habits in facing storms and in their ability to react by vigorous skin circulation against any degree of cold or wet. Who knows how many colds might be prevented during the coming winter by following these few simple suggestions? Each man should be able to manufacture his own animal heat, and a reasonable amount of clothing unH nrriinnrv wn rmth mitliin doors Hhould do the rest in the ' hardening process that will in the end give him the beat of all , protections. The Cob Pipe. A Kansas newspaper says that J "corn cob pipes were first made 1 by a German along in the '70s." ' The Kansas writer who perpetrat- | ed that error must be a recent < importation,"made in Germany " j Corncob pipes are as old as the i settlement or this country, and : the probabilities are that the Pi I- 1 grim Fathers found the Indians 1 sucking hollowed out cobs through j reed root stems. There is a his ] torical warrant for saying that 1 Andrew .Jackson smoked cob ] pipes and was fond of them, i Tradition has it that, alter that 1 famous dinner of sweet potatoes, Gen.
