bad for him to continue This was done
and special committee Of seven, headed
by Bishop Capcrs, took charge Differ
cnccs of opinion arose between this com

gradually allowed him to have his way.
The matter reached crisis when Dr..
Porter declared that he wanted to as
sumo control again. IIe wrote to Nom

as "intrudcrs," and said tho board was
simply an ornament. This feeling of
dissatisfaction increased and last week q

Mr.. l.. L. Campbell, u well-known citi-

licensed to preach as Baptist minister,
and has been called to tho pastorate of

This will be pleasant news to Mr.. Camp
bells hosts of friends throughout tho

than Mr.. Lewis Campbcll as he is famil-
iarly called. Hc was one of tho best and
truest soldiers in tho Confederate army,
and his jovial spirit and his intense earn
cstness have always mado him friends.
He has not always been Christian, in
tho common acceptance of that torn.
io was converted in revival about
twelve years ago, and since then, rs all
who know him will testify, hc has been
living the higher life. He accepted the
license to preach only after long and
prayerful consideration, and after having
become convinced that the Lord had di--
rected him to do. That he will havo the
sympathy and good wishes of all who
know him goes without saying, and his
friends believe with confidence that his

Carnegie Gives a Million TO Employees.

Pittsburg, November 1O.-Twenty-o one
employees of the Carnegie Company
have received within tho past week
81 900, 900 in bonds Of the Carnegie Com
pany, bearing s per cent interest. AS
the latest bencficiarios of Andrew Carnc-
gio's old plan for rowarding faithful
workers of his company received from
81 500 to $4,000 year in salaries, and
tho bonuses they have received are in
tended to not them at 5 per cent an ad-
ditional amount equal to their wages, it
can bo seen that tho gifts range in value
from $4,000 to 100000. Moro than 50
per cont of Andrew Carnogie's partners
in The Carnegie Company obtained their
present large holdings in tho company
through gifts of stocks which became
theirs as soon rs tho earnings of the
stocks had paid for it. The latest dona-
tions, however, arc in bonds that in
stantly begin to bring to thoir holders s
por cent annual interest, which they will
pocket. In addition to the twenty-one
bcncliciaries, Camille Mercador, chief
draughtsman Of the company, said to be
a hungarian count, got $75, 900 worth of

The Governor and the Farmers.

In making the suggestion heretofore re-
ferrcd to, us to tho matter of holding a
cotton growers convention in Charleston
during tho Exposition, Governor Nc
Sweeney has written to the IIonea Path
Cotton Growers Association, which
asked him to issue tho call for a meeting
in each county, as follows:
"Plcasc convey to them that feel n
dccp interest in the farmers of our State
and would be delighted to see them
amply rewarded for their toll. l stand
at all times ready to aid them in any way
i'll my power. In regard to tho resolu-
ton and your request, that l call meet
ing of representative farmers, lot me
suggest that it would DO better, in my
opinion, for the call to be made by you
and the Cotton Growers Association of
Honca Path, as YOU are ali actively en-
gagged and directly interested in the bust
ness. Suppose you ask somc representa-
tive farmers from tho up-country and
from tho lowcountry and tho middle
section of the State to meet i'm Columbia
at some time in the near future and at
this preliminary meeting of these repre-
sentative farmers arrangements could be
made to call meeting of the cotton
growers Of tho cotton States at tho
Charleston Exposition am sure such
plan would have more influence than
for the Governor to call such meeting,
for IL would then come from the farmers
themselves, who would be directly into
rested in its success. If you undertake
to have cotton growers convention you
do not want it to be failure. will
lend you whatever influence | can and
cooperate with you in every possible
way to make the convention success.
And am sure the authorities of the
Exposition will give You material aid in
securing representative gathering.
am sure, also, that you would have the
aid and cooperation of the press of the
State in bringing to the attention of the
farmers the Importance and help of such
an organization" ."-Columbi Corrcspon-
