Missionary Centenial. Tbe Baptists all over tbe world are cele brating this as the centennial year of Foreign Missions, and the Sumter Baptists propose to unite with their brethren the world over in doing honor to tbe memory of those who con tributed towards making the history that is so worthy of celebration. Just one hundred years ago, in this month of May, William Carey preached at the meet ing of a Baptist Association, at Kettering, England, tbe great sermon on "Expect great things of God ; attempt great things for God," and from this sprang tbe society which, in October following, was organized to send tbe gospel abroad. Thevear after this, Carey himself went forth to India to preach ibe gospel that be had advocated at home. Whatever has been done in tbe way of for eign missions has been done within the last century. In as much as a Baptist preacher was *he leader in tbe enterprise, it is pro posed by the Baptists that tbey send out one hundred new missionaries and raise a cbaptl fund of two hundred snd fifty thousand dol lars during this centenial year. Our Sumter Baptise purpose to celebrate the centenial movement next week, and will have a service each nieht until Friday eight. The program is as follows : Monday night?Dr. T. H. Prichard, of Wilmington, N. C , wills peak on "tbe Begin ning of Modern Missions." Tuesday night?Rev. John Stout, of Dar lington, will speak on "The Obstruction of Missions," or why it was necessary to begin again. Wednesday night?Dr. E. C. Dargan, of Charleston, will speak on "William Carey? a biographical sketch " Thursday nit:bt?Rev. W. T. Hnndley, of Johoston, S. C, will speak on "Andrew Ful ler, the first Foreign Mission Secretary. Friday night?Rev. E. E. Avers will speak on "The Secret of Missionary Enthusiasm " The service will commence at 8:30 each night, and it is hoped that all wbe are in any way friendly k> tbe work of missions and have a desire to learn more about It will be present. Ever.v Baptist pastor within con venient reach of Sumter bas been invited to be present, and the Baptist people will gladly, provide bornes for alt who come from abroad to pin in honoring tbe occasion. The plan for raising money for the purpo ses named is a very simple one. Each mem ber of the Baptist churches wil! contribute one cent daily, in addition to all other gifts made to the missionary and benevolent works of the churches. At this rate, the church here will be laying up two dollars and a half per day, which will be no small sum at tbe ead of a year. Memorial Day. The memorial services on last Wednesday afternoon were, as has ever been the case in Sumter, beautiful, inieresting and solemn. For the first time since tbe Memorial Day bas been observed in this city the services were not held at the cemetery, in the very presence, as it were, of tbe departed but unforgetable dead. The graves were, as usual, decorated with garlands of flowers, but the address was made in the shadow of the monument erected in memory of tbe Confederate Dead of Sum ter District no matter where they be buried? many of them in unknown and namelese graves. Thus it may he said that on this occasion the memorial services took oo a wider significance Lb an ever before. There was a very large crowd present to hear the address of Rev. Ellison Capers. D.D. The address is giyen in fall on another page. It is an eloquent aad fueling tribute to the fallen, but unconquered soldiers, from a sol dier, than whom there ?vre none brarer and more trne. Tbe Monueraent ha*! been deeoratpd by the ladies of the Memorial Association, and tbe veterens under the leadership of Col. Jas. D. Blanding each pUced a wreath on its "base as they marched in slow procession around it. The 4th Regiment Band furnished music for the occasion, and the selections were most appropriate Rev. John Johnson offered the prayer, after which the orator was introiuced by Col J. D. Graham. At the conclusion of the address the Sumter Light Infantry fired a salute and then the assemblage disbanded. The Wallace Belief Fund. ilr. Editor: On behalf of the Relief Club for the benfit of W. M. Wallace and family, I respectfully report tbe receipt of the follow ing contributions: W. M Graham, $1 00 W. F. Rhame, 1.00 J. E Brutison, 1 00 Sumter Ice Mfg. Co., for fee furnished.

The committee on entertainment of delegates to the Dicesan Convention, on behalf of themselves and of the con gregation of the church of the Holy Comforter, desire to express their grateful thanks to those who so Kindly and generously came to their aid, and assisted in providing homes for the delegates. In a number of instances, some who said they intended coming, did not come, and others who came without notice, were substituted for these. Hence the printed lists in the news papers are necessarily unreliable in large measure. In the cases of those to whom dele* gaies were assigned by name as their guests at the hotels, the intention of the committee has been to collect from them, in such case, only the amount of the several bills as presented. In other cases in which, for the reasons given, delegates were hot specifically assign ed, the amounts of the several bills have ineen aggregated, and divided equally among those offering to enter tain delegates, one or more. If any mistakes have been made in this res pect or in any other, the Committee would esteem it a favor to be allowed to correct them. Very respectfully, .John Kershaw, Ch'm* W. H. Ingram, J. F. W. DeLokm?, Mark Reynolds, W. R. Delgar, C. C. Manning, Geo. 1>. Shore. Burglary. The store of Z E. Walker, situated on Main Street was entered through a rear win dow on Saturday night, by burglars, and a lot of goods stolen Chief A. H. Weeks suc ceeded in arresting two of the thieves, Robert Hampton and Ricbftrd Nelson on Monday and recovered between $40 and $60 worth of goods and several dollars worth of checks. The goods were secreted in several negro bouses, and it is thought that others in addi tion to those arrested were concerned in the robbery. The two now in jail are boys about eighteen years old. On Monday morning Messrs Chandler & Shaw discovered that an uosucressful attempt had been made to enter the rear window of their store. Tbe thieves around town are getting bold, and the night policemen should be more vigi lant than ever before. Ionia Items. Ionia, S. C, May 13, 1892.

XIII Tbe Judge, who was a shrewd fellow, winked at the iniquity of the decision, and went privily and bought np all the plants that could be bad for love or money. In a few days bis Lordship's town house was observed to be on fire; a general alarm was sounded, and the entire fire department responded. It so happened that his Lordship had his plants surrounding a huge caldron of brass that the children used as a bath tub. The fire scorching tbe leaves of the plants, they fell off into the caldron, which began to boil from the great heat, yet the firemen worked bard and sub dued the flames. XIV When the firemen entered tbe house j and approached the caldron, their nostrils were assailed with the same indescribable aroma that had so bewitch ed Chang Fat. One, more bold than the rest, dipped his helmet into tbe amber liquid, and firs! sipping it, final ly drank to his fill. Then tbe others j followed bis example, with such an exhilarating effect that they were soon dancing and singing col1 n,e glees; so came tbe whole populace, and loud cries were made for Chang Fat, for they bow knew that tbe toasted leaves that he discovered were the cause of tbis joy. XV The next day the Judge was giving orders to have tbe house immediately rebuilt, that it might again be set on fire, when a sage arose, Tike our Benja min Franklin, who made tbe discovery that leaves could be toasted io an ordi nary tin-pan, and that water could be boiled in another tin-pan, and that if the toasted leaves were then put in the boiling-water, the magio infusion was produced of a quality far exceeding that obtained by burning downJfhe houses. Then again came loud cries for Chang Fat," the great discoverer. XVI When Chang Fat appeared, the peo ple cried out for the name of the in spiring plant, for, aR yet no one knew what to call it, and dropping all subter fuges, he related the truth, and bow tbe devout Missionary had said its name was "Tudoces Fragrans," which, being interpreted into tbe Yansin dialed, was HE-NO." XVII (NOTE BY THE EDITOR ) Without placing too implicit faith in the account above given, it muse be agreed, that if a worthy pretext for so dangerous an experiment as setting houses on fire could be assigned io favor of any dietary article, that pretext and excuse ooght to be found iu I??-NO Tea.* Toasted Leaves.
