To Support a Native Preacher.

Walballa, October 26.-To the Bapt ist
Churches i'm Beaverdam Association
We desire to call especial attention of
the churches to the Importance of sup
porting native preacher in China. At our
request, Brother Il. Il. Tatum, of Shanghi,
has assigned Brother Dzong Iung Tuh,
to our association. He is now engaged
in evapgelistio work at Shanghi. He is
about twenty-five years of age and was
married last spring. He has attended
DIR. Bryan's Bible class three years.
Brother Tatum says that Old North Gate
Pastor Woo chose him as assistant pas
tor, and that at this church there are
several inquirers and Brother Dzong tries
to look after them and help them to the
truth. This brother has three preaching
services per week and attends three
others
Our treasurer, j. w. Stribling, has
opened an account with all churches that
have already made contributions for this
special work, and we desire all the
churches that have not done so, to make
contribution and send to Brother
Stribling stating that it is for the support
of o narive Chinese preacher. This ma
tive preacher can be supported for one
hundred dollars per year. This is plan
in our foreign missionary efforts that ap-
peals directly to us, aud in supporting
this preacher we will be brought into
close personal relations with Brother
Dzong and he with us. Praying Gods
richest blessing upon this undertaking in
the Masters name, am,
Sincerely yours in Christ.

Oakway, October 26.-Here comes a
friend from the little town of Oakway,
asking permission for little space in

Prof. Mathis, our principal, is fine

the work in the winter that it did under
him in the summer, he will find no
difficulty in getting it again.
The crops around our burg are tolerably
fair. L. A. Edwards has the finest cotton,
and, had frost been delayed little longer,
he has several acres that would have
made near two bales per acre.
l.. A. Edwards's new house is building,
and bids fair to be handsome residence.
The hum of our ginneries is heard
from Monday morning till Saturday

Free Service at Clemson.

The following circular lettor, which
has been sent out from Clemson College,
will be of interest to the farmers and
stock raisers of the State:
at gives me great pleasure to announce
to the farmers of South Carolina that
the South Carolina experiment station at
Clemson College is now establishing a
herd of pure bred cattle, which will be
composed of the following breeds: Jer-
seys, Ayeshires, Devons and shorthorns.
A first class bull of each of these breeds
will be kept and if the farmers wish to
breed cattle of these bulls they can do 80
free of charge, provided the cattle are
not infested with Texas fever ticks.
Therefore, all ca tie before being bred
must be inspected by the veterinarian.
We have on hand at present two Jersey
bulls, one Hereford bull and one Angus
bull, all registered that will be sold in
the near future The station hopes to
buy some good grade calves from scrub
COWS and pure bred beef bulls next year.
Therefore we are anxious for the farmers
to breed to our beef bulls, for by so do
ing they will also assist in introducing
into South Carolina the long needed
beef cattle for our own markets

Cotton's Wild lump.

New York, October 26.-The greatest
scenes of excitement and activity pre-
vailed this morning at the opening of
business on the New York cotton ex.
change, prices showing a gain of some
20 to 45 points over Saturdays close, q
part of which was shortly afterward lost
on realizing.
The news from the cotton belt re-
ported more or less general frost Satur-
day, and this, together with display of
firmness by Liverpool this morning,
caused high opening here. October,
which closed Saturday at 9.96, sold up to
1910 on the call, while December touched
1000, January 10 %, March 1870 and
May 1920. This enormous gain naturally
attracted wide attention and caused
heavy realizing, and after the call prices
were depressed several points Oh the
more active positions.

They Must be Good.

Columbia, October A.-Some weeks
ago the question of routing goods from
Charleston to points on the Blue Ridge
Railroad was taken up with the Commits
sion by the Charleston bureau of trans
portation. 1t appears that certain goods
we're routed to these points on the At
lantic Coast Line. and when the goods
arrived the Blue Ridge road refused to
accept same for the reason that they
were not handled by the Southern road.
The Board of Railroad Commissioners,
after considering the matter, have taken
the position that because the Blue Ridge
Railroad is maintained as separate
organization 1T must accept shipments
rendered by any carrier on through
bill of lading.

Ten Lives Lost in New York Subway.

New York, October 25.-Ten lives were
lost by the cave-in of the roof and walls
of the subway tunnel at 105th street last
night, and four persons were badly in
jurcd All of the dead and injured were
workmen and most of them Italians.
The accident was the most disastrous
that has occurred in the construction of
the subway. AT the point whore the
cave-in occurred gang of twenty men
were at work in the tunnel, which is
about 10 feet below the surface.
The tunnel was being bored by opening
perpendicular embrasure in the face of
the bore, and blasting the sides to the
right and left of this embrasure. Three
blasts were arranged by the drillers, the
holes being charged we'll toward the roof.
The drillers then withdrew, and the thr, o
blasts were set off in rapid succession by
electricity, loosening large quantities of
earth and rock. The drillers say that
about ten minutes elapsed to allow the
smoke to clear away. The van guard of
the gang had reached the stone when a
rnmbling sound was heard. Those in
the rear had just time to turn about and
run, when, with dcafening crash,
hundreds of tons of rock fell on the mon
at the face of the boring. When the roar
had ceased the cries of injured workmen
echoed through the tunnel.
Rufus G. Hunt, superintendent, and
Richard Beyers, general foreman, for
John b. Mcdonald, the contractor, who
is building the tunnel, were arrested as
soon as they reached the scene of the
disaster, but, being experts in tunnel
work and blasting, were permitted to
direct the work of rescue. Later
magistrate remanded them to the corner,
who held them in $4,000 bail each.
Coroner Jackson said he believed the
accident was caused by criminal negli-
gence.
From men who worked in the tunnel it
WAS learned that props had been used to
hold up the roof. The heavy timbers, IL
by II inches, were crushed like tooth
picks beneath the tremendous weight of
the cave-in.
October 26-The total number of
deaths now runs up to seventeen.
