Baptisss, Attention Home Missions.

The undersigned has been asked to act
as Vice President of the Baptist State
Board Of Home Missions for the Beaver
dam Association. The duty of the Vice
President seems to be to arouse deeper
interest in Home Missions within his
Association.
The attention of the readers is called
to the need of this work, which includes
all the territory within and belonging to
the United States. The need is very
pressing, as can readily be seen by think
ing for moment of the many places in
almost every section of the United States
where the citizens have not church ad-
vantages. Those who have these advan-
tages seem often to be subject to the woe
expressed against those who are at lease
in Zion" They have not adopted the
motto: "Saved to serve" They seem
also to have not grasped the idea that
the only service one can render to God
is a service rendered to fellow being.
Do you believe this
There arc towns in the United States
| with populations of 5000 and less that
have not a Baptist church in them nor
within 80 miles of them. 1t is the duty
of the saved to send the "good news'' to
the unsaved AS long as there is one
soul unsaved there is work for you, dear
reader, and it is your duty to do this
work of trying at least to bring about
the salvation of the unsaved.
Our Saviour said, "Inasmuch as ye did
it to the least of these my brethren, ye
did it to me-" BY this Scripture / can
say, If one gives of his means, his labor,
his talents, his influence, his love for the
benefit of saving others, he gives it to
Christ, and thus saves it to eternity. In
this sense and way we save by giving
away.
On the fifth Sunday in this month let
each Sunday school and church make q
contribution to Home Missions. Let
that contribution be liberal. Let the
pastors and superintendents see that it
is taken. Remember what has been done
for you in the past by others and give
accordingly.
Prof. Drummond said: "Love is the
chain that links man to God. The meas.
ure of our love is what we are willing to
do for Others" Let your contribution
be the measure of your love for others
By your love to others will your love to
God be measured.
Ins the fifth Sunday meeting Home
Missions will be urged. AS you give ask
Gods blessing on the gift.
Fraternally, G. Wardlaw.

u ID l.
columbia Record. january 14th.
II, is promised by the United States
government officials that the Rabens
5oase and the arrests that follow will be
the most Sensational heard in this state
in long time. Afew days ago Rudolph
Rabens, o German grocer, was arrested
in Charleston, charged with robb.ng two
post Offices in this State and bond was
placed at $1,000. Yesterday afternoon
posi- oiice inspectors went TO Charleston
and arrested his brother, Christopher
Rabens, on the charge of being impli-
Gated In the case and the latter will be
brought to Columbia at once for trial.
More arrests are promised at once and 1t
seems that the inspectors have uncovered
another chain of robberies, similar to
that broken up in this oity several years
ago.
The United States District Attorney
will not divulge the names Of those
against whom warrants have been issued,
but 1t seems that in the last few days
important evidence has been discovered
and that the developments promise to
be sensational in the extreme. just
what will be done with this case this
term remains to be seen, but it is evident
that the inspectors, after working for
years on the various post Office and safe
crackers cases, have at last arrived at
the root of the matter.

Congressman Aiken a Worker.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier writes that
paper as follows:
Representative Wyatt Aiken's industry
in behalf of his constituents is especially
effective in the postal service Mr.. Aiken
is an ardent supporter of the rural free
delivery service, and his friendliness is
evidently appreciated and duly recog-
nized at the Post Office Department
When the business in the House is
slack Mr.. Aiken hustles off downtown
to the Post Office Department, where he
is we'll known and liked, and urges the
consideration of the numerous petitions
facilities. AS result of recent visit to
the department he has just been notified
that the following extensions of the
rural free delivery service will become
effective on February L: Daily service
from Hodges, Walhalla, Westminster,
Calhoun and Iinety-Six.
A new daily route has also been estab-
lished at Greenwood, to take the place of
the tri-weekly service of routes Nos. 1
and 2. This service requires the employ
ment of one extra carrier.
After considerable negotiation and
much correspondence. Mr.. Aiken's re-
quest for extra mail service from Cher
ry's to Clemson College has been granted,
and the new service will become effective
next Monday, January 10. This change
will enable the Charleston mail to reach
Clemson College four hours earlier than
heretofore. 1t is to be accomplished by
an extra trip by the carrier to meet the
IL A. M. train. This new service will be
especially gratifying to the large number
of students at Clemson College.

The National Federation of Women's
Clubs means to prove by facts and figures
"that the college girls are the girls who
marry, and moreover, that the college
girls make the best mothers and have the
largest families" If these things are
true, and far be it from us to dispute
them. why not restrict the privileges of
matrimony and motherhood by making
the right to exercise them hinge upon
an educational qualification But we
doubt whether statute with this end in
view would prove popular even among
the most advanced club women.--News

Best of all. it obviates that curse of
salt Lake summers, the fine dust that
Termeates every part Of the residence
districts and that no amount OF sprink-

no necessity for sprinlling if the streets
were oiled, for there would be no dust.
As it costs the city $35.OOO a year 10 do

not a great deal, the item Of expense as

GANG REFORMS.

The governor has called a special ses-
sion Of the legislature for the purpose

posed TO throw stronger safeguards
around the state treasury, for example,

some other Improvements are contem-
plated by Governor Pennypacker, but
these are the principal ones.
Governor Pennypacker was placed in
The executive chair by the late Senator
Quay. His personal character is good,
but he owes his political existence 10
Gans politics and gang methods. Dur
ing the recent Pennsylvania campaign
he recognized this obligation by CAM
polgning for the gang candidate for
state treasurer and for the gang noni-
nees IN Philadelphia. His call now for
special reform legislation saVors
strongly of either a deathbsd repent

was no election OF members Of the leg

corruptionists are stiH in conrrol, by a
large majority. Of both branches Il tie

NEW YORK is IMPROBABLE.

Prince Louis of Battenterg las gone
on record as saying that the combined
English and American dec;a could re-
duce New York City to atoms IN less
time than it would take his chef to
make an omelette. This may have
been another way of saying that the
princes chef knows nothing about the
making of an omelette. If, however,
that was the meaning the prince IN
tended to convey he should have said
50 plainly, The truth is that all the
navies in the world could not reduce
New York City TO atoms.
we should be sorry TO have Prince
Louis try it," said General Crozier,
chief of ordnance in the United States
army both because we should regret
the emergency which would bring him
over and because of the unfortunate
results to his feet"
Continuing. General Crozier pointed
out the fact that no fleet could get close
enough to shell New York without
forts at Sandy Hook. If any ships got
by them, which would be most unlike.
", they would still have to pass Forts
Hamilton and Wadsworth, at the Mar
rows. There they would certainly be
reduced to junk.
There is another side by which a hos
tile fleet might attempt to get TO New
York, the Long Island side. As General
Crozier points out. the first obstacle
would be an American fleet. If the fleet
had previously been destroyed, .ha
forts at New London, at Davids
Island, Willett's Point and Schuyler
could be depended upon for some effec-
tive work. In the opinion of General
Crozier il would be absolutely inl-
possible for any foreign warship to get
by these forts.
He makes another interesting state
ment If by sorae feat of Iegerder1qin
hostile fleet -hOuld reach the Last
river unchanged, and without firing a
shot, it still would be unable to reduce
New York to atoms FOR the good and
sufficient reason that il could not carry
ammunition in sufficient quantities. 1t
is pointed out that there are a great
many buildings in New York. If each
shot should totally destroy one build
ing, manifest absurdity. there would
still be plenty of buildings left when
the ammunition was exhausted.

uYnE AND HARTMAN.

to see how it viii help the policy hold
ers. Mr.. Hartman sad that MIR. Hyde
suggested a settlement of the suit
brought by Governor Odell against the
Mercantile Trust company. Mr.. Hyde
declared that he did nothing o. the
sort. There is an apparently trrecon-
cilable difference between these cap
tains of industry"
The love of Mr.. Hartman for Mr.
Hyde is illustrated by the matter of
the French ENTHUSIASTICALLY. Mr.. Har-
riman swore that Mr.. Hyde asked him
10 use his influence with President
Roosevelt Tor the appointment of him
self (Hyde) TO the French post. This
Mr.. Hartman very graciously did, but
with what fine sarcasm. Il told the
president" said ne. that I had been
requested IS suggest TO him the APP
pointment of Mr.. Hyde, and that Mr.
Hyde was located in Paris. aud. as /
understood. had Il good position there"
It was not necessary for Mr.. Harri-
NINA to intimate in his further testi-
mony that his recommendation was Of
the most perfunctory character He
certainly managed 10 convey TO the
president the impression that he
would be much better pleased if
Hyde were not appointed than
if his name We're sent 10 the senate.
All this, however. is by the way. 1t
has mighty little TO do with the meth
DDS used In the management OF the
Equitable Life Insurance company.
The Hyde testimony. though, puts
Governor Oden in an exceedingly bad
light. 1t is easy TO draw from his state

Odell was willing, in consideration of a
money payment. ostensibly In settle

The ordinance requiring the introduce

PRODUCED too quickly. It will not do to
delay its passage until the street paw
ing has been cut to ribbons by the mar
row tires. If the city's alley system
were what it should be The Herald
would favor the exclusion of traffic
wagons from Brigham street As this
cannot be done under the circumstances
the next best thing is the wide tire.
IL has been shown that a tremendous
saving of wear and tear on asphalt is
accomplished by wide tires. 1t has been
shown, also, that on streets that are not
paved it is much easier to haul a load
with wide tires than with narrow ones,

the wide tires prevent the loaded wagon
