THE STATE BAP-
TIST CONTENTION

The crowded condition OF
our columns makes a write-up
of the convention impossible.
In our limited space we could
not compass one session, while
there were ten in all. 1t was
a large assemblage of con-
secrated men and, women
with an eye single to the glory
of God and the upbuilding of
his kingdom. One was es-
pecially impressed with the
true dignity and brotherly
love tiat characterized the
deliberations of the body.
The watchword of the con
vention was enlargement, ex-
pansion along all lines espec-
tally in education and benev-
olence. Encouraging reports
were made upon every depart
ment of denominational work
Not one who attended went
away without experiencing a
spiritual awakening and quick
ening, resolving in his heart
to render more loyal service
to the Master.
The next convention meets
at Sumter, on Wednesday be-
fore the 1st Sunday in De-
cember, 1903.

Cold weather has come at last
and is welcomed by all, l think.
The hogs are squealing around
this morning. Spare-ribs and
back bones for dinner.
Fruit growers are busy working
their trees, or preparing land to set
out more. There will be about
eight or ten thousand set out here
this fall, and next spring. This
will make about one hundred thou
sand set out here in the last few
years. Cotton is now thing of
the past, with most of the fruit
growers. This is getting to
be quite fruit country, both old

orchard. Hope the fruit fever will

We expect to have a cannery

factory.
Mr.. R. H. Scott, CT Cheviot Hill,
has one if the finest turnip patches
in the neighbor hood. He has only
half an acre, but will make about
one hundred bushels. l saw one
this morning at his home that
weighed even five pounds, and l
think that he has some heavier
than that. He Is always SUCCESS
full in growing turnips. He banks
thorn, and has them fresh through
the winter.
One of our bachelors was absent
from US last Sunday. He seems
to have quite an attraction in other
quarters, he seems in earnest here
of late. We bachelors will hate to
lose our old pard.
Mr.. J. B. Adams, Jr., made a
flying trip over this side last Sat
urday. There seems to be quite an
attraction here for the Doctor. Mr..
Theo. Price, of Aiken, was in our
town last Sunday.
From the number of visiting young
men seen here last week. it is like
ly that some of our charming
young ladies will leave US soon.
We boys will have to stop this.
Some of our dogs are trying to
organize debating society, pro-
vded the young ladies will help
them debate. l think that
they will help; hop" 80 anyway.

cold. Everything PASSED of

what did he have to be thankful
for. He said "butter aud milk"

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak. land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
tion you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

McLaurin's Future.

The announcement that the Presi-
dent has decided to appoint Senator
John e. McLaurin, of South Carolina,
Judge Of tho United States Court of
Claims will be accepted in many
quarters as q proclamation that Nc.
Laurin's efforts TO change political
conditions in South Carolina and to
build up strong and enduring PRO
gressive'' party there are fruitiess, and
tha5 Senator Tillman's assertion that
Senator McIaurin's political indu-
ence has ebbed is true. Senator Nc
Lanrin,s power and influence as pol
itical leader will cease, of course, when
ne assumes the judicial Office. 1t is
surmised that Senator Tillman will
not in his inner consciousness object
to the shelving of Senator McLaurin
in this manner, though it is suggested
that the appointment. of the Senator
to Federal iudgeship would be in the
nature of Yindication Of his course,
a reward for his services to his and
the preceding administrations and a
rebuff to Senator Tillman himself.
The foreshadowed action which is to
remove Senator McLaurin from the
political scene and its effect upon the
fortunes of the progressive" party
in the South will be yariously view
ed. The appointment of the leaders of
the somewhat nebulous new party OF
progress in the South to Federal offices
may give it some encouragement. The
hope of substantial reward is one OF
the spurs to political activity, as
human nature goes; but Senator Till
man will now be left in practically
unchallenged possession of tie field in
South Carolina, and the party OF pro-
gress there can scarcely be rallied fo1
an effective campaign. One of the
Washington correspondents goes SO fa1
as to express the belief that Mr.. Till
man will not oppose the McLaurin ap-
pointment.-Philadelphia Ledger.
