Forty Eight Thousand Dollars Were Subscribed In this Presbytery for tho Joint Endowment Fund. Columbia, S. C, May 13.?Tho Joint Committee on Endowment at Its last regular meeting considered the report of the canvass in Enoreo Presbytery, and It was found that almost $48,000 had been subscribed and that the prospects of getting tho full $55,000 were hopeful. It Is all but certain that $50,000 will be subscribed, and those nearest the situation bolieve the whole amount will be secured. Tho fact that so many of tho churches In Eno ree Presbytery are without pastors and that the country roads have been so difficult to travel have retarded tho work not a little. The Committee decided to make the next canvass in Bethel Presbytery, and to ask this largest of the Presbyteries for $55,000. Arrangements for the van v.'vss will be pushed as vigorously as is wise, and it is hoped that the can vass may be made early In June. It is the desire of the Committee to conduct the canvass in South Carolina Presbytery before August, and then to have the canvass In Harmony and Charleston Presbyteries in time to report to Synod, In Columbia this fall, that the work has been completed. NOTABLE ADDRESS BY HILARY A. HERBERT (Continued from First Pago.) what every thoughtful Confederate veteran will carry In mind till he drops into his grave, the fidelity dur ing the war of the slave to the women and children of those, who were off in the field fighting for their homes. It was on that fact that President Lin coln based his proclamation of eman cipation. If the United States army was to succeed it became a military necessity to deprive the Confederacy Of the help it was getting from its slave population. The world was astounded a( the story of this fidelity of the slave; it told in terms that could not be misunderstood, of the kindly relations between the slaves and his master." In closing his address Col. Herbert congratulated his fellow citizens up on the happy relation which now exist.; between the two sections. The north honors the south for the courage and fortitude it showed In the war while the south reciprocates the feeling In an equal degree. The war was the result of misunderstandings that grew out of conditions that could not be settled in any other way. Now thai the war Is over and the question set tled the north and south are both proud of the record which "the Ameri can soldier" has made, and "we mean, on both sides of the line, that our children shall he worthy of it by main taining inviolate that form of repre tentative Republican government foi the preservation of which so much was sacrificed." "All the clouds that once lowered over our homes are now in the deep bosom (.: fh" oc< m burled and History is now writing its final verdict that while the north was lighting for the constitution; as they had come to look upon it in Inter years, wo were lighting for tho con stitution, as it was expounded by Jef ferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, and by Madison, it father." it is Impossible to do justice to Col. Herbert's address in a summary Which it is only possible to give a! this time, but next week The Adver User hopes to give the address in full. After Col. Herbert was seated, the school children sang a selection, nf ter which the audience was dismiss ed. A large number of ladies and gentlemen went up to speak to Col. Herbert. Further School Exercises. The annual come cement sermon will be preached the Methodist church next Sunday by Dr. W. \V. Daniel, of Columbia, and next Mon day evening at 8:30 the final graduat ing exercises will take place.

Macey Book Cabinets are the first sectional bookcases ever built after the designs of the old masters. These old masters, Sheraton. Chippendale, Robert Adam and Fra Junipero, wero as great in Furniture as Shakespeare in Literature, as Mozart in Music, as Michael Angelo in Painting. The new Macey Book Cabinets are the only sectional book cases that can be added to, both upward and sideways, and still not look like sectional bookcases, but like heirlooms of furniture. Can be taken from or rearranged without destroying their beauty and style. So artful is the cabinet work that dealers frequently have to take them apart to convince customers that they are sectional. Macey old master designs harmonize with any furniture you now have, and are made in such variety of popular prices, sizes, woods and finishes, that they fit any requirement of space or purse. Macey Sectional Book Cabinets are built under the direction of Mr. O. H. 1 . Wernicke, the father of sectional bookcases and President of The Macey Company. Mr. Wernicke's name is still used in the corporate title of a competing firm, with which he has long since had no connection. If you wish to give your home and your children the most inspiring influence you ever gave them, you will go to a furniture store and see these new M.xcy Book Cabinets before you forget it. S.M.&E.
