ment any special or other constitutional or

A 20TH CENTURY BRICK
CHURCH,
The Great Work Undertaken by
Congregation cf Emanuel
M. E. Church.
Rev. Wm. R. A. Palmer, pastor of the
Ema-n el M. E. Church, bas inaugurated a
movement in bis congregation to build a
20th century brick church to replace the
frame buildiog that bas boused the congre?
gation for a number of years The plans for
the new church call for a simple, but
handsome edifice with a seating capacity of
8C0. The floor of the auditorium will be
mclined toward the pulpit so as to give the
seats io the rear portion of the building an
elevation above tbose nearer tbe pulpit Tbe
entire building is to be heated by a furnace in
the basement and it will be comfortably and
substantially finished throughout.
The cost of the new church wi)! be be?
tween $5,000 and $6,000, and the members
of the congregation are at work providing
the needed fonds. A considerable sum has
been raised and deposited io bank already,
and various members ot the congregation
have subscribed sums rangiog from $20 to
$100 each.
On its face it appears to be a big under?
taking for a congregation of colored people
to build a brick church to cost more than
$5,000, but the work is well under way and
the pastor is confident that he will succeed
without any long and vexatious delay.
The old church buildiog will be rolled back
to the rear of tba lot and will be used for
school and class room purposes, such a
building being now needed.
.Vlillions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying, to the public to
know of one concern in the land who are not
afraid to be generous to the Deedy and suffer?
ing. The proprietors of Dr. Kiog'a New Dis?
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial bottles
of this great medicine ; and have the satisfac
faction of knowing it bas absolutely cured
thousands of hopele&s cases. Asthma, Bron?
chitis, Hoarseness and all diseases of the
Throat, Chest and lungs are surely cured by it,
Call on J. F. VV. DeLorme, Druggift, and ge}
a trial bottle free, liegular size 50c and $1.
Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. 3

The ancients believed that rheumatism was
the work of a demon within a mao. Any
one who bas had ao attack of sciatic or in?

berlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons,
bu; it will cure rnenmatism, aod hundreds
bear testimony to the troth of this statement.

The week ending Monday, May Ttl
waa el?ght?y cooler than the previot
one, with low night temperatun
after the 3d, causing light fros
in portions of Greenville and Spa
tanburg counties, but without doin
any perceptible damage except I
young cotton, and slightly checkin
the growth of tender vegetation.
There were numerous light, sea
tered showers, generally confined 1
the middle aod lower Savannah va
ley, and along the immediate coas
These showers were beneficial, and
warm rain is needed over the entii
State to soften the ground which i
clay lands is becoming baked ac
hard, to hasten the germination <
recently planted seeds, and to suppl
moisture to wheat and oats whil
beading and blooming. Damagin
bail occurred in Abbeville county.
Planted fields are becoming grass;
and stand in need of cultivador,
which has begun where corn an
cotton are large enough. Bottor
lands are jual becoming dry enoug
to begin to prepare them for planl
ing
Corn is coming up to generali
good stands, and cultivation ha
made considerable progress. Ove
the western portions of the Stat
very little corn has been planted
being deferred until cotton is a
planted. Cut worms and crows ar
very troublesome on bottom lande
necessitating much replanting.
Cotton planting made rapid prog
ress during the week, and, wber
least advanced, is from half to two
thirds finished. Early plantings ar
up to fair stands, bat the recent coo
nights are very injurious, causinj
some cotton to die. Lands are no
all prepared for cotton Choppinj
out is well under way.
Rust on wheat has become quit*
general and is spreading This croj
is in many places less promising thai
heretofore, having been apparently
injured by the excessive rainfall o
April. Oats have improved Bott
crops are heading
The bulk of the tobacco crop ha?
been transplanted, and the work it
nearly finished There was no scare
ity of plants, except at a few points
Rice was badly damaged, in thc
Georgetown districts, by high water
but to what extent cannot now bi
estimated.
Apple and pear trees are blighting
badly ; Rome peaches dropped, but
enough remain to make a full crop ;
wild berries are abundant. Sugai
cane, sorghum and melons have come
up to good stands, the latter begin
nmg to run to vine Sweet potato
slips plentiful in beds, but few have
been transplanted. White potatoee
doing well, but bugs are very numer

made.

The following summer birds bare arrived :
Martins, Whippoorwill. Bee Bird, Summer
Red Bird, Humming Bird, Swallows aad
large brown Fly Catcher. After the arrival
of the last named bird I do not remember
ever to have seen a killing frost.
Hillsides under cultivation were damaged
by the heavy rains of tbe 18tb and 20tb by
washing and low grounds by flooding ; oth?
erwise tbe rains were beneficial, and stands
of cotton, as far as planted are good. Corn
is improving.
Good b ammocks cheap-better ones for a

Out in Kansas
lives a haupv wife. She writes: " I
have used Mother's Friend before
two confinements. The last time I had
twins, and was in labor only a few min?
utes. Suffered very little." The reason
why
Mother's Friend
does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. It helps be?
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
Thc sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recoverv is quick and sure. Best
of all, Mother's Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes it
will be strong, lusty and healthy.
Druggists sell Mother's Friend for SI a bottle.

finely illustrated.
