BAPTISTS A GREAT PEOPLE. Some of the Things Done at the Convention in Bennettsville. Abbeville. December 17:?The State Convention of the Baptists was held in Bennettsville last week. The various boards made excellent reports, indicating the substantial growth of the denomination in this State. , The secretary's statistical report showed that there are nearly one hundred and fifty thousand white Baptist church members in South Carolina. During the year, the Baptists contributed $50,000 to foreign missions; $40,000 to home missions; $42,000 to State missions; $30,000 to orphanage work; $9,000 for aged ministers; besides the cost of maintaining the 1,000 local ehurches, a vast amount ior Duimmg jjc? worship, and the like. Fifty-five thousand dollars was given to Greenville Female college; $40,000 to Anderson college; $15,000 to Furman University; $66,000 to Coker college; and smaller amounts to Orangeburg college, and the fiv? high schools of the convention during 1913. The convention heartily re-endorsed the proposed Baptist hospital, which is to be located in Columbia, and authorized the trustees to go ahead, ard establish the institution. Thirty thousand dollars is already in hand for the purpose, and there is much more promised. The convention asked the churches for $25,000 cash for Greenville Female college by January 1; for >75,000 for Furman university by July 31: for $2,000 for the theological seminary during: next year: $15,000 for the education board: $10,000 for ministerial education in Furman; $150,000 for missions; $30,000 for orphanage; $10,000 for aged ministers and appropriate amounts for other religious objects. A gift of a $10,000 house "for aged ministers was received from C C Brown, the house being located in Beaufort, overlooking the sea. It is expected that ministers temporarily resting will also make their home there. The Baptist convention employs nearly 150 missionaries, men and women, in South Carolina; there are more than 1,000 churches, and about 900 preachers. The convention next year will meet in Charleston. Louis J Bristow. , COTTON CROP STATISTICS. Government Estimates a Crop Larger than at Same Date 1912.

A prominent New York physician says, "If it were not for the thin stockings and thin soled shoes worn by women the doctors would probably be bankrupt." When you contract a cold do not wait for it to develop into pneumonia but treat it at once. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is intended especially for coughs and colds, and has won a wide reputation by its cures of these diseases. It is most effectual and is pleasant and safe to take.

WTynken,BIynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe? Sailed on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew. "Where are you going, and what do you wish?" The old moon asked the three. "We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of silver and gold have we," Said Wynken, BIynken And Nod The old moon laughed and sang a song, As they rocked in the wooden shoe; And the wind that sped them all night long Ruffled the waves of dew; The little stars were the herring-fish That live in the beautiful sea. "Now cast your nets wherever you j wish ? Never afeard are we!" So cried the stars to the fishermen three. Wynken, Blynken And Nod. All night long their nets they threw To the stars in the twinkling foam? Then down from the skies cam<. .he wooden shoe, Bringing the fishermen home. 'Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed As if it could not be; And some folk thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea; But I shall name you the fishermen three: Wynken, Blynken And Nod. Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes. And Nod is a little head, And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one's trundle-bed; So shut your eyes while Mother sings Of wonderful sights that be, And you shall see the beauciful things As you rock on the misty sea, Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three? Wynken, Blynken And Nod. ? F.mwdp Field Good Philosophy. Liberality never killed a town. Every public enterprise ought to receive substantial encouragement. When you give a dollar towards improving the town, you do not throw away your money, but simply make a good investment. XXX If a man starts to pay his debts, it puts a raw of men a half mile long in motion, each one starting to pay his. It may be that you are the man in the row that has stopped the motion. If you owe any one, pay him. XXX Gift giving at Christmas time is, or ought to be, nothing more than a manifestation of the Christmas spirit, which is unselfish, seeking only to make others happy. Every one who has been moved by this spirit has realized the truth of the saying. "It is more blessed to give than to receive.'' ?Mullins Enterprise. Notice. The Ladies' Missionary society of Union church will give an entertainment and serve a supper in the town hall at Salters Depot on the night of January 2, 1914. The public is cordially invited.
