The Baptists of South Carolina are plunning for a great drive for educat* ion .this fall. During September * October, and November of this year t they propose to cover the state with a c hand to hand canvass for three ir.sti- 8 . tuJons and add to their endowment c which aggregates about ope hundred c and sixty thousand members in this | state is operating five colleges and five j academies. These properties together , with their endowments are worth one x million, eight hundred and sixty two ( thousand, seven hundred and seventy ( dollars! This is no small investment ] for one denomination to make in e.l ucation in this State! It will be seen , therefore that the total indebtedness f of two hundred and ten thousand do!- , Its is only a little over ten pvr cent o." j the value of their school and college . property. These debts were incurred , for buildings and improvements made ] necessary by their growing patronage, j They do not represent failure of these j institutions to meet current expeiV , ses. I Our people need to appreciate the |, great work the Christain denominations are doing in the field of'educa- , tion in this state. There are fourteen colleges supported by the various | denominations in this State?five by j Baptists, three by the Methodists ( two by the Presbyterians, two by the ' A. It. I"s. and two by the Lutherans, ( ! and these colleges are giving college , training to more than half the colI lege men and women of the State! ( j The Baptists alone are providing col- , lege facilities for nearly one fifth of i all our college students. This is no small service these denominations are rendering to the state of Sou'h Car, olrna! Our people need to under- ( r ; stand and appreciate this great work of the church. | ; Llforts like that being done by the I , Baptists this year are both Christian I j and patriotic services and deserves | ; the greatest success. Our whole popI , ul itton needs to he stirred on the sub| I ject of education! Sou.h Carolina now has unenviable distinction of ! standing at the bottom of the list of | j all the slates in the union in the | ; matter of literacy! South Carolina | has to her shame twenty-five per cent j of illiteracy, according to the last ' census report the largest per cent of | ; illiteracy of any state in the Union. | 'i his means that twenty-five per cent. j 1 of our citizens can neither rea<l nor j write! This condition constitutes our > peril! Surely every patriotic and [ Christain citizen in this state ought to give encouragement to every ed! ucal.onal endeavor put forth in this } State! In this particular movement | every Baptist is under obligation to * do his best to make this effort a great I success! ] To make the task as easy as posf sible and in order not even to seem to I be in conflict with the Government | in ils sa'es of Liberty Bonds and war i . stamps they are going to accept Li| bcrty Bonds and War SavingStanips . ?for cash and will make all notes pay| able in Liberty bonds and war stamps. 1 'I hese bonds will not be put on the { market during the war! By this mej thud a man can serve a double pur| pose with bis money. If he puts a i hundred dollars in Liberty Bonds it will be worth a hundred dollars to his I Govcrnmcn* and if he give* this bond I to the schools it will be worth a hun*** dred dollars to then! Hence the one = hundred dollars w I! do two hundred dollars worth of work, s- This great campaign is under the o direction of the Baptist Education Board, of Columbia S. (!., of which Dr. Chas. A..Jones, is Secretary and Treasurer. This effort deserves the all good Baptists to come to the aid " greatest success. Now is the time for J (? of their institutions of learning. B. S. Eunderburk. 1 GOOD HEAITH IS A PATRIOTIC DUTY ' Literally, this is a period when no one should "have time to be sick". ' Every man, women and child in America should be busy doing that which best serves the common welfare. Sickness and doctor bills are economic waste, ami waste in National efficiency at a time when we can least afford it. ' The time will come when it will be little les than a disgrace to have such , diseases as typhoid and malaria, be y cause they are preventable, and every time the c is a case of either the plain ^ fact is that someone has been careless almost criminally careless with one of our greatest of all possessions, human health. All our thousands of deaths, ten of 1 thousands of cases of serious illness , and rniilion of dollars in losses from, doctors nursing and drug hills because of typhoid and malaria are avoidable, and the way to avoid them is to screen out liies and mosquitoes. When is these pests are screened out when we ] keep flies away from our food and i I. drink and mosquitoes from biting us ?we will have prevented probably DO ~t per cent, of all the sickness and inefficiency due to typhoid and malaria. Whnt.ftvor if rv?o %r o/?o? l. /??111. .. V. ?v i c? jr V?rov9 KMUU llCttllll n is worth the price; whatever adequate ?- screening of all doors and windows h may cost the investment will pay a thousand percent and more, h And what is true of typhoid and is malaria is also true of our preventag hie minor ailments. Indigestion alone e dje to unwisely selected or improperly j prepared foods is heavily handicap? ping many a person yet is almost h wholly avo'dable. r.

The first showing ij,a, of the American troops had amazed ^eh France with their bravery and soldierly perfection, he said.

Robert Perkins, Red Cross' Commissioner to Italy, was in .his country recently, he related an experience of a Red Cross worker in J Rome. bot This man, dressed in the uniform of the American Red Cross, had dined ft the opposite side of the town to that in which his living quarters were located. Coming home ratjier late, ^ and losing his way, he got into the Po] slums of the city. Walking along a dia very dark street, he was ^suddenly spc waylaid by two bandits, who pointed pro i pistol at his head, and demanded nai his money. He very calmly said: "1 A am ('apt. , of the American 25 Red Cross." They immediately assumed an attitude of the utmost res f poet, pocketed their revolvers, and, with the greatest courtesy, told the Red Cross officer that he had wander c?l into a part of the town where it A'as not safe, and after saying that ' 1 they would see to it that nothing me. should ever happen to any man rep- ')ai resenting the American Red Cross, ( ut escorted him to the more civilized parts of the city and, bidding him a courteous "Good evening." departed.
