il^pt educator, A. P. Montague, LI,. I).
Il6 laid groat stress upon the import
of i.w>yroving tho common public
HchoVds of tho Stat? by increasing the
length, of their scssionsH&ud improving
their standard and etlicioncy. -,This was
tim speech ol' the convention and \v?\$ a
^y^TOBtorly plea by a manly man for li..
^Proving tho oppoi'unity to tho poorer
HSBBliWS of people for t ! . ducation of their
^children. For half ?. our Dr. Monta
kuo hold his hearers spell-bound by his
logie nml^eVoipience, and that eloquence
used ?O?'tlio education of thc masses,
lay dolegate. a limb of the law, fol
Wcd in a few minutes' talk, taking the
posit ion that unless the State either fur
nishes better or cheaper education lo
tho young than tho denominational col
logos, there was no excuse for taxing the
V pcoplo for Stato colleges, neither of
. which it was now doing. Let tho State
furnish a university proper or go out of
'.?*'. business. This speech brought forth
muoh favorablo and some unfavorable
eommont.
If Tho Homo Mission field covers tho
Southorn States, the Indian Territory
and Cuba, and its missions aro conducted
by a board, of which Kev. F. IL Kerfoot,
D. D.,is tho corresponding secretary, with
?? headquarters in the City of Atlanta.
Tho fifty-fourth annual report of the
Homo Board was made by Kev. Mr.
Pearson, showing that during the year
$01,701 had been raised and expended in
tho home work. Alter an address on
tho report by its author, Dr. Kerfoot ad
dressed the body on the work of the
board. Ile said that America was fast
becoming a beacon light, easting light
upon tho whole world and that light was
religious liberty. Dr. Kerfoot is a line
orator and ho made a (loop impression
on all who heard him.
Tho roport on Slate Missions was road
and addresses woro mado hy Kev. O. I .
Martin and Kev. H. X. Pratt, after which
Hov. T. M. Bailey, 1). 1)., took tho door
.in tho interest ol' Stato Missions. Dr.
Bailoy well knows how to instruct and
please a South Carolina audience, and on
this occasion he made a deep I:apression
on all present, as was domonstratod bj
the collection, raised at tho close of his
address, amounting to tho sum of
$1,233.
-Tho report on Foreign Missions was
presented by Kev. A. C. Osborne, D. I).,
Siving a full account of and need for
lia work. The Moor was occupied for
one hom by that invincible orator and
consecrated man, Kev. K. J. Willingham,
1). D., Corresponding Secretary of tho
Foreign Mission Board, located in Rich
mond, Va. Dr. Willingham asked for
no collection, hut his address was re
plete with reason, pathos and love, and
lie was listened to with silence almost
painful, and many tears were shed as he
described tho sin and sorrow of thu
heathen in this year of grace and gos).ol
liberty and enlightenment, Ho said that
if we love God wo will do that which ho
wants done, and ho was suro that God
wauls tho heathens fer his Son. Dr.
Willingham is a man large in statue and
heart and no ono can hear him and not
he impressed. If ono does not desire to
ho a missionary in feeling ho or she had
bettor not hear Dr. Willingham.
Kev. IL V. Mullins, D. 1)., President of
the Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary, at Louisville. Ky., addressed the
Convention in tho interest of thal, insti
tution. He said that Hiero were this
year 210 students in tho Seminary, of
whom 15 woro from South Carolina, lt
is tho object of that school, said he, lo
make preachers, not essayists or theolo
gians nor orators, but simple preachers
of tho gospel of .Jesus Christ, men who
will preach tho word of God in all its
simplicity, not mon who seek tho praise
of men, but do the will of Hod as re
vealed in His word. This was Dr. Muh
luis's first appearance before our Conven
tion as President of the Seminary. Ile
did not appear in vain, for he sundy
carried away with him tho hearts of
South Carolina, lt is now demonstrated
that no mistake has been made in calling
Dr. Mullins to the I'residency of tho
Seminary. Would that he could nicol,
and have sweet,communion with all of
Hod's poople In this Stato.
There has been nundi dissatisfaction
and division in South Carolina for four
years over who should bo Superintendent,
of tho Connie Maxwell Orphanage at
(?roonwood, S. C. Tho placo has, for
eight years, been Ulled by the Kev. .1. L,
Vnss. Mr. Vass isa line financier, but
With all thal, he has not been acceptable
to a large minority of tho Baptists of tho
Stato, At ovory convention th ero has
beet. ? :!g).t.over his election and much
bitterness ha-, thus been engendered.
Whim tho ropott Oil this institution caine
up, everyone appeared apprehensive of
evil, but fort?n l'toi y no unpleasantness
occurred, Thj fight was so manifest
and the opposition to Mr. Vass so re
lentless that when tho time came to elect
tho Superintendent ho declined to allow
Iiis name to go before the convention for
re-election. I). M. Ramsay, 1). I)., of
Charleston, placed the name of the Kev.
A. H. Jamison, of (/'aniden, in nomina
lion for tho place. Tho nomination of
Mr. Jamison met.with Hie approval of
nearly every mombor of the convention,
and ho was chosen for tho place by a
unanimous voto of tho body. Mr. Jami
son is one that wo feel suro w ill bring

Tlio good pcoplo of Gaffney did us
grand whilo in thoir city. Wo found
thoir homes and hearts wido open; thoir
hospitality boundless and thoir attention
to delegates and visitors such aa to mako
all fool that they woro among friends
and brethren. From homo to homo tu
that grand i itv of homos all wont, and
not ono timo did any fool unwolcomo or
ont of place. Our hearts woro mado to
vH o ?o whorovor wa wont. Indeed, overy
oi iolt that ho or sho had tho best
home in tho eily, and that thoro woro
no oilier pcoplo as kind as tlioso with
whom their lot was cast.
T'nis humblo scribo lound a homo with
Mr. and Mrs. Raruoy Clary, a brido and
groom of threo months, than whom
thoro nie no bettor and kinder nooplo

In thc concludion of thisarticlo wo bog
to bo allowed to call nttontion to tho
kindness of Editor- Ed. H. DoCnmp, of
tho Lodger, whoso wholo attontion was
given in reporting tho convontion and
making it pleasant for all visitors to tlio
city. Mr. DoCamp is an enterprising
business man, and, withal, a good writer
and kind hearted follow, with whom all
delight to associate Ito promised this
scribo that iii tho near future ho would
pay Walhalla and tho sanctum of THU
Common a visit; which wo trust ho will
do. Wo will bo delighted to do him
honor. No man in Gaffney dosorvos or
received moro praiso than ho. Ho do
serves it, becauso ovory day ho published
an issue of his enterprising paper to re
port tho proceedings of tho convention.
Kev. Bon jami u Perry Robortson, tho
Bishop <if tho First Baptist church of
Gaffuoy, deserves ?our heartfelt thanks
for tho trouble ho put himself to to
make us all plonsuut and comfortable.
As tho convention closed wo dare say
that many prayers went up to a throne
of grace for tho welfare and continued
success of Brother Robortson, Ile really
seemed to enjoy his arduous task of see
ing after every ono whilo in his city.
Tho next session of tho convention
will moot in tho City of Newberry on

A SURE CUHE FOR CROUP.
Twenty-Five Years' Constant Uso Without a
Failure-Good Stuff.
Tho first indication of croup is hoarse
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may bo taken as asuro sign of the
approach of an attack. Following this
hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain's Cough Homedy is given
as soon as thc child becomes hoarse, or
oven after tho croupy cough appears, it
will provont tho attack, lt is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints tho anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a sin
gle instance in which it lias not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-2"> years' constant
use without a failure For salo by J, W.
Boll, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca;

Doctors' Mistakes.
Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
ono from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another fri i liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaus
tion or prostration, another with pain
hero and there, and in this way they all
presont, alike to themselves and their
easy-going and indi Il e: cut, or over-busy
doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which ho prescribes his hills and
potions, assuming thom to ho such,
when, in reality, they arc all only synip
tons caused by some womb disorder.
Tim physician, ignorant, of tho causo of
sulYering, encourages his "practice" until
large bills are made. The suffering pa
tient, gets no better, hut probably worse,
hy reason of tho delay, wrong treatment
lind consequent, complications. A proper
medici..o like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pro
BOriptiOM, directed to tho causo would
have entirely removed the disease, duro
by dispelling all those distressing symp
toms, and instituting comfort, instead of
prolonged misery. This medicino ena
bles a sensitivo, modest woman, lo avoid
the unnecessary physician's "oxartyna
tion" and his generally useless ?ind stereo-1
