"To the Lutherans in the South: It s been suggested that in grateful ognition of the manifold blessings chsafed unto his church by Al hty God the various religious jes of the country should by a table thank offering mark the -roaching dawn of the twentieth tury. 'It is propos.ed that this offering uld be applied to the support of. educational institutions of the ch. Inspired by this high and purpose the Methodist Church 's country has resolved to raise d aggregating about one million llars, and the Presbyterian oh has likewise undortaken to a large amount for the same urnhnrenh has an much to bm pelled to make roc h the old year, ha ie.

Iiluenced by the notable example r above cited, it is urged that. tho Luthli. I oran Church in the South shall by a voluntary assessment upon its mem bors raise an endowment fund for e the support of its Seminary, now t permanently located in a homo of its i own at Mount Pleasant, near Char- r leston, S. C. This time honored 1 institution is our only Theological ii Seminary in the South and is the t very life of our Southern Churches. s We are dependent upon it for the supply of our pulpits, and without its sustaining aid the Church in our midst would languish. It therefore becomes the imperative duty of all who are loyal to the Church of the Reformation to unite in the effort to endow and perpetuate this venerable school of the prophets. s The United Synod of the South, f ap)preciating the vital importance of t the Seminary, and recognizing its o pressing need for an endowment, S clothed the board of directors of the t< Somimitry wvith authority to tako such ci stops in the premises as to, them s, seem wise and expedient. e "In the exercise of the aut.hority v thus conferred the board of directors t< has resolved to make an earnest ap- ei peal to all Lutherans residing within a tihe bounds of the United Synod to ti aid in raising the sum of sixty fi, thousand (ollars as an endowment fi for the Seminary. The income of ti such a fund wvill give the institution b a proper~ support and enable it, with- oJ out clangor of inlterrup)tion, to dis- L charge its sacred functions. mi "It is roughly estimated that there oj are some forty thousand Lutherans ai residing within the jurisdiction of S1 the United Synod. If each of these will make a voluntary offering of w one dollar and a half the entire fund ri needed will be easily and speedlily ul raised. Although many can give in but little, everyone should feel it a Ii, solemn duty to give something, no at matter how small the amount. Ip tc each congregation there will be di found those who are certain to con- cr tribute in larger amounts, and these tis wvill make up for such as can give but is little, thus maintaining the general cc average of por capita assessment le abovo named. We have b)oen al- 0: ready assured ini' advance that in some charges there will be donations bi in sums of fifty and one hundred of dollars, and we may reasouably ox- es pet oven larger bonefactions. This (I matter must, however, be left to the conscieneo of each individual!

(Special to News and Courier.) n Wtnshington, Jan. 18.-One of the g jrongest arguments in favor of rural eo delivory has just been brought l > light throngh the bids recently " ponied for carrying the mail in t outh Carolinai.

A number of con- c tctors submitted bids and the of- I cials were agreeably surprised to ri ud upon examination of them that 4 to cost of rural free delivery was at $6,000 more per year than tihe Ii di method.

(Special to News and Courier.) 1 Richmond, Va., Jan. 19.-At no oriod in the history of the Stato has1 hero over boon so much legislation imiod at the negroes its during theo )gislature now in session hero. This, )O, is of t clas which seems to bring bout the most radical reforms in i enling with this race. The fore- I iost reason for assembling a Consti- r tional Convention, for which a bill r 1now pending and is to be made a1 i arty question, is to disfranchise the egro and eliminate him from Vir inia politics. The Jim Crow car bill, which has r 11sed the lower house, and is as v nre to meet wvith the samei disposi- C on in thle Senate, restricts the black 1: tan to separate coaches on all pas. ~ muger trains in tis State. A measure hlas been introduced, i sd has tile commendationl of some the ablest men in Virginia, whic_h a rescribed a horrible and unmenution- ' alo punishment for assailants of C omen. As 95 per cent, of such c msare commited by the negroes, C uis is intended eLi.roly for that ieo. It is hardiy p)robable that tiis b 0(10 of pufnishlment will he agreed h] .Its form is such as it is not 1)0- ~ 3ved tid. it wvill be adopted. No steps have been taken in that d roction, but thle recent report of p I0 superintendent of pulic inlstrue. ri an indicates quite p)lainlly a scnti- lt ent in favor of such legislation as ill give tile negro only an inIdustrial s" lucation. It is not unlikely thlat an oposit ion wvill irn the near futuro be ii ado to separate school taxes of the 0f to races and give to the negroes bi Ily tile proportion paid in by that co. If this were done the amount I r negro education would b)e quite p sign ificant. 1 Pain- KlIIIer, 11 So justly celebrated, was intro- Y ced to the public about tsixty years o6 ~o, and now enjoys a popularity un- Id ualied by any other medicine.
