Aid the City Fathers in all their Efforts looking to the Improvement of the City. The City Council is extending the stone curbing along the east side of Mountain street. This is a much nee let! improvement to that street. This sidewalk should b2 extende 1 on to the junction of the streets in rear of the Episcopal church. And every property oa-ner should willingly do late the necessary ground, as it would give building lots a marketable value. It looks bud for at y one to stand in the way of the progress of the eitv. nsneeiallv in the mitter <f improving the streets, as hts been do: c o 1 the opposite side of this same strec'. The Citizens.of that end of town were very thankful to the Council when tl ey _ saw the sidewalk being extended at d graded over tin hill beyon I the galley, ^ which would allow them to go home I in bad weather without miring over . their shoes, lint hardly had the side^ t walk been finished hefo.o a fence w s . built entirely across the sidewalk and made it necessary for pedestri ins to take the big road for the little distance of a | dozen yards or go through the property. . We cannot see the object of thus build) in*the fence. In the first place it is an eycsorC to everyone going along the . street. Secondly the loss of ground to give the sidewalk would have l>een infint issimal. Thirdly it materially injures the appearance of the lot and last but not least it does not keep people froui making a walkway through the lot, s lid walkway taking up much more of the lot than the sidewalk wculd have Tlu,n in/1 . iki/v f i <\ni t 1m ninrnn/l uwiic> j iini) juuvji ^ iiuiu un ?c?i jfuu, broken and ragged appearance of tlie , wire, it. has ( ffjred a temptation to some ; pirtyor parties mischievously inclined, '< Step in tlie line of progress, neighbor, contribute a little might to help tl.e appearance of the towr, set jour fence j back and aljow the city to finish tlie sidewalk as originally intended, and re? ceive the "well-done" of a'1 concerned. < ?- m Ep worth League.

Christian Endeavor News. 1 We were somewhat surprised not long since when The Times said that the space given to the Sunday school lesson, i Epworth League and Christian Endeavor was not appreciated as was the rpace j given to the baseball. We wish to say in liehalf of the Christian Endeavors that we certainly appreciate the space so kindly given to our cause, and that mention has been made of I lie fact that The Times was giving a i half column to our weekly subject, and . that we also spoke a trood word in b. half of The Times. Whether ibis ever ; reached the eyes or ears of Tne Tim >s < we cannot say. ] The Christian Endeavor meeting of , Monday evening duly 17th. was an exceedinglv interesting one. The subject ! tHiiiij*: "Honoring the Lord's day.*' As i the regular appointed leader was not ( present, the meeting was thrown open t and the subject w?ts thoroughly discussed , by all present. We were specially gl id to have Messr~. Iiartlett and Newman, of the baseball < i team, out. Dotli young men took pari, ( which we were glad to see. We hope others of the baseball t ain will attend | our meetings. We assure them of a ' hearty welcome. i .? - ? That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you , I used I)r.

Rapid Progress Being Made in Collections for the Squthern Methodists. A twentieth century tlinnk ottering service was held in the First Methodist church Sunday morning. The program consisted of songs, responsive reading aud an interesting talk by Col. T. U. Duncan, explanatory of the movement. His talk was given the closest attention by the audience. It is to be regretted that ho was ItMiit.or] T n 11 fit'A niintitna' foil* na tUn subject was one iu which every Methodist was or should be interested, and Col. Duncan, being thoroughly conversant with the aims and objects of the movement, should have had more time allowed him. lie stated that the Methodist church recognized tho fact that it was behind on its educational work as compared with its Kvangotioal and Eleemosynary branches, and determined to canvass the Methodist congregations of England, and the church North and South in America, for tho purpose of raising a fund to push the educational work of the church, and no more opportune time could be suggested than this, the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, and so the movement was begun, that'will put tho colleges and other educat ional institutions of the church on a solid foundationEngland will raise $.">,000,000, and as a result of the systematic giving to church purposes taught in England from infaucy, over one-third of the $.">,000,003 has already been raised. The Northern Methodist church has promised to raise $51,000,000. And the Southern Methodist church has promised $1 ,.r>00,O00, one-fourth of t his amount has already been raised by the church of the South. Tho educational board of the church in South Carolina promises to raise tklMDiuui Ti,n ;../?.i l*vvjvw* Aitv KJK' uiu v/aivnim Wi" ucational board consists of T. 0. I>uncan, President, Union, S. C. ; Rev. II. B. Brown, Secretary, Orangeburg, S. C.; Rev. J. \V. Ivtlgore, Treasurer, Charleston, S. C. The membership of the AI. E. Ohurch of South Carolina is nearly 75,000. The amount to be raised will be a little over a dollar each. The hearty and unexpectedly liberal response in this early stage of the movement is a sufficient guarantee that the amount will easily be raised in the two years allowed. Twenty per cent, of the South Carolina amount is to be set aside as an endowment fund for the Vanderbilt University, the other SO per cent, is to be turned over to Conference for disposal as they may deem best. This money will not only assist our colleges and other educational insti- ! tutions of the church of South Caroling, hut will also he used to assist ihe educational institutions in foreign lands controlled by the church. It is a grand work, and the tjuick md hearty responses show that it meets the approval of the entire membership of the church in this country. As an illustration, a church with a small membership, possibly 15, at Carlisle, S. C , has contributed ?55.00 or about $5.00 each, while lonesville has contributed $100.00. The hoard does not anticipgte any trouble whatever In raising the required amount. This collection is not being operated an tne assessment plan at all, hut overy cent that, is contributed will be a voluntary action on the. part of the giver, and will be in the nutir,, of a thank olTering, for the blessinsrs th?v have received. ' 7? nile some may not care to ;;,aice n thank offering of nny considerable amount, others will contribute very liberally of their means as n partial return for the many bless-, ings they have enjoyed. One valuable feature connected with the South Carolina work is that each and every contributor will have his name entered upon a roll with the amount he or she gives. This roll will be kept in the archives of WofTord College for the information of future generations. This will no doubt furnish the only complete list of the membership of the Methodist church in South Carolina. It is a noble work and every member of the church in the State should contribute to the fund. Shooting Scrape.
