Very Successful Union Meeting.
(Written For Last Week.

Very SucCeSSfu1 UNION MeeG1HS.
(Written For Last Week.
EDITOR Advertiser:
The Union Meeting of the End
division of the Edgefeld Associa-
tion met with Big Stevens Greek
church last Saturday and Sunday.
The attendance Of delegates was
rather slim, several churches not
being represented. The meeting
was an enjoyable cne. in every
way, Notwithstanding the rather
disagreeable weather.
The various queries were dis
cussed with rare degree Of in
telligence and harmony. On Sun
day the missionary sermon was
preached ~ Rev. G. P. Bush, the
regular appointee, Mr.. Littlejohn
being unable TO attend on account
CT sickness. After the sermon we
had quite an interesting speech
from Bro. Drew Nixon, represent
ing the orphanage. after which a
contribution of $20.50 was taken
up for the orphanage. This was
considered a remarkably fine
showing from 50 small congre-
cation.
Our present efficient moderator
and clerk, Bros. Dorm and Adams,
were unanimously reelected to
serve for the ensuing year. The
energy and enthusiasm of. Bro.
Dorm is so very contagious that
the person who fails to catch it
in short ordcr must lie too slow
TO catch anything worth having.
While our church belongs to the
Ridge Association, we are nearer
this division of the Edgeield as-
sociation than any division of the
Ridge. Therefore, as q matter OF
convenience we meet With the
nearest Union.

RatlonaiEood.

Dr. Henri de Rothschild has offered two prizes, one of five thousand francs and the other of three thousand francs, to a French scientific society to be awarded for the best paper on rational food for man. It should not be q diffi- cult paper to write. The only attrac- tive way of presenting rational food seems to be in the form of literature If the prizes were offered for the best paper on how to persuade modern man to live on a rational food diet, that would be a different matter. Also far more difficult one.
 Nuts, cereals and fruit, neither under nor over ripe-these form the nucleus of all rational food diets. Just recently somebody has included oysters. but oysters are gastronomically attractive to many and doubtless the ultra rl- tionalists will hasten to mark them off the menu as soon as they find they have been placed there. Two or three eastern advanced ones have, 1t is said, taken to feeding on grass as one Ne buchadnezzar did in his old age. but grass is not mentioned prominently as a rational food.
 The contention is made by dletists that primitive man lived and thrived on the simple diet. Undoubtedly he did and he also lived and thrived with out the aid of clothes. The daily tub and the toothbrush. the fork and the

Fool Remedies for the Overproduc-
 ton of Cotton.

The low price Of cotton in the south. caused by the extraordinary crop of that staple last year, has brought out a number of idiotic suggestions for the betterment of the condition of the cot ton growers. The cotton burners held the boards awhile. but the latest prop osition favors the boil weevil.
 A Dallas, Texas, man has caused 2 commotion in the agricultural depart ment- at Washington by a most pecu liar proposition made by him to a New York firm interested in cotton. His proposition is nothing less than to bull the cotton market by shipping large consignments of boil weevils to various parts of the cotton producing belt and turning them loose on the new crop when it has grown suf- ficiently to afford the pests an opportunity to destroy or inn pair the crop. The firm at once com munica.ed with the Washington de- partment, asking if such a plan could be operated and was informed that

there existed no law against it. At the same time the matter wal brought to the attention of the conI- mittee on agriculture and MT. Lover ing of Massachusetts hurried the intro- duction of a bill to prohibit interstate transportation of insect pests and the use of the United States mails for that purpose. The proposition of the Dal- las man merely shows how fanatlcism may obtain control and run amuck along lines that have been supposed to he immune from such manifestations
 It should be borne in mind to the credit of the south. however. that these outbreaks of foolishness by no means represent anything but lack of sense by a few individuals.

The LiberaIlty of the Church in
 Russia.

It would be difficult to determine which is the greater blight on Russia the corrupt bureaucracy, or the fanat- ical priesthood of the Greek church. Any departure from the orthodox be- lief is so severely punished that no preacher dares to express an individ- ual opinion, and if, like Father Gapon. he is so bold as to defy the church authorities and denounce the autoc- racy as well, speedy flight across the frontier offers the only escape from the direst punishment
 According to Dr. E. J. Dillon in liar per's Magazine for March. a Russian of today who, without leaving his church, breaches unorthodox sobrlety. truthfulness. honesty and clean living, attracts his fellow men and makes them better than he found them is complained of by the priests and whirled away to the cloister prison. There he is no longer thrust into a 'stone sack" as in olden times. but immured in a bare, narrow cell the walls of which are slimy with ooze The one little light aperture has three window frames-two iron gratings and a pane of semi-opaque greenish glass He is denied pen and paper. is forbid den to talk with the guards, receives no letters nor writes any, and forfeits his very name, in lieu of which he has a number. In a word, he is dead. and is waiting only to be buried From time to time a priest may enter his cell and exhort him to abandon his "error." but after the first few months this opportunity of hearing a human voice is taken away, and he is left with only such hope as death may fulfll And some of these obscure martyrs have waited long fer that mercifu end. One man, named Shubin-ar "Old Believer" who in essentials was 2 member of the Orthodox Greek church spent sixty three years of his life ir the fortress of Solovetsk Monastery.
