BAPTIST STATE CON YEN HON
Opening Proceeding in Sumter.
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.

HOW TO PREVENT A COLO."
(Juiok Change ol Temperature
Dangerous?Grip Epidemic
Threatened.
(From The New York Herald.)
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. Francis Marion proffered I
the Uritish officer who was his
guest a corncob pipe and a mole

What To Ho.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that I)r. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
md every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
freer, and overcomes that unpleasant neeessity
of being compelled to go often
luring the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by druggists
in fifty-cent and ong-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a ~1|
book that tells all
tbout it, both sent free
