nineteen years, when the Southern
Baptist convention last met in Rich
mond, Va, where 1t will again meet on
the 18th Of this month.
The sermon was listened to with the
closest attention by the large audience
present, and at its close $118.05 was
raised to liquidate an outstanding
debt Of the church. The members
gave as a thank Offering to God one
cent for each year Of their lives, as
the pastor had requested, which
amounted to $39.86. II was a JOY to
see the people give, as they instantly
made up what was needed to pay off
the debt The membership standing,
the covenant was then read by the
pastor. The door Of the church was
then opened and two were received in
to the membership Of the church, and
the hand of fellowship was extended
while the congregation sang "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds" So closed a
most remarkable and enjoyable SER
vice.

A good suggestion. There wasn't

and a bore. Let's cut it out.-Char-
lotte Observer.
Here is complete sympathy for both
of you: but very little hope. AS long
as people continue to meet under cir
that seem to suggest that
old gag, and as long as these people
can think Of nothing new or original
to say, they will continue to work this
worn out corpse Of what may have
once been a fairly engaging joke.
Our contemporaries will note that we
are guilty of continuing to pass 1t
along, even in reproducing and COM
on what they have said.

willing to risk their lives by giving the
case a fair trial and verdict, as 1t Is
feared that If the jury were to return
a verdict Of guilty every man would be
marked for vengeance by cranks or
others. Feeling is so strong in regard
to the case in Boise that few men care
to discuss any aspect of the approach
ing trials. The trials Of the three
men implicated. of which Haywood
will be the first, will be watched with
the closest interest throughout the
United States, labor unionists being
especially Interested In the outcome.

proposition is that of some $500 citi-
Zens Of Union, S. c., who have signed
petitions addressed to the directors of
the Union Buffalo Cotton mills, pray
ing that they reinstate Thomas c,
Duncan as president of those mills
now incorporated as one since their
failure under the administration of
Mr. Duncan year or two ago. The
petitions at least manifest re-
markable popular confidence in the
integrity and ability of Mr.. Duncan
whose reputation as successful cot
ton mill manager underwent a strain
Of some severity in 1905.
Perhaps the most interesting phase
of the affair is the apparent reluctance
of the $500 petitioners to purchase
the properties and place Mr. Duncan
in control 1t seems that so large a
body of men interested in cotton mill
investments would be able easily to
raise the necessary money to obtain
the control of this corporation, espe-
cially as its shares are quoted at q
figure below par, owing to misfortunes
antedating the present management.
Speaking in general terms. we
sometimes entertain a mild doubt If
persons whose stake is less than one
share of the par value of one hundred
dollars in a private corporation are
entitled to serious attention when they
offer suggestions concerning the cor
poration's management.-News and

GUTHRIESVILLE SCHOOL.
Interesting Closing Exercises Last Fri
day--An Excellent Teacher.

day--An Excellent Teacher.
Correspondence OF the Iorkville Enquirer.
GUrHRIEsvILLR, May 4.-The closing
exercises of the Guthriesville school
took place on Friday night, May the
third. It had been planned that this
should he an al fresco entertainment,
and il was hoped that summer skies
and soft moonlight would lend the
charm of novelty to the occasion.
The lowering clouds of Friday morn
ing however, warned teacher and pu-
pill that other plans must be hastily
made.
The neat school house being too
small to admit of as large a gathering
as was expected, an impromptu stage
was erected in a commodious out
building at Guthriesville, and willing
hands assisted in transforming the in
terror into a very acceptable exhibit
tion hall. The exercises opened with
THE Star Spangled Banner" most
creditably sung by the entire school.
This was followed in quick succession
by a pleasing programme Of recita-
tions, dialogues, tableauX and songs.
Where all did well it is hard to dis
criminate, but special mention may be
made of the Scarf Drill by eight
young girls. The different movements
being executed with grace and skill.
The Indian drill and song by "Ten
Little Injun Boys" gaily bedecked
with feathers, war paint and toma-
hawks also elected much praise.
The closing number, a good night
song by eight little girls clad in dain-
ty robes denuit leaning in one arm a
sleeping doll, and in the other out
exceedingly attractive. One by one
the little tots sang their goodnight
verse, blew out their candle and dis
appeared. leaving little Miss George
Bratton to sing alone the final good
night to the audience.
The presentation of a medal was an
interesting feature Of the occasion
The contest for this medal involved
scholarship, department and punctual-
ity. The race for ii was a close one
between Miss Eula Jackson and Miss
Marie Moore. But for the fact that
Miss Jackson was necessarily absent
at one time for few days. the result
would probably have been a tie Miss
Marie Moore carried off the honor,
for which she had faithfully worked
During the programme music was
rendered by the Yorkville string
band, which added much to the inter-
est of the evening.
The school is under the care of Miss
Nora Williamson, who has success
fully proven. a prophet may win
honor even in his own country. She
enjoys the perfect confidence of her
patrons, and the love of her pupils.
BY her individual efforts she won for
her school last year, one Of the hum
dred dollar prizes offered by the South
Carolina association for the Inn
provement of Rural Schools. and was
appointed by the county superintend
ent of education. the delegate from
York county to that association last
December, at its annual meeting in

THE State, of Columbia, an esteem
ed neighbor, observes that Less than
three years ago William Randolph
Hearst was a candidate for the pres
idential nomination before the ma
tional Democratic convention. He
sent emissaries into South Carolina
and many other states to attempt the
creation of a Hearst sentiment and
to attempt the influence Of county and
state conventions. That money was
freely used was no secret. same
way here. Now Hearst admits that he
had doubt as to where he is at. Il
would have been a Democrat in Jeffer-
sons day." he says, "and Republican
in Lincoln's day. but whether I can
properly be classed as Democrat In
the present day, is matter which l
admit is subject to legitimate doubt"
For this admission the yellow candi-
date has been much criticised but 1t
is about the most creditable thing he
ever said. A Bryan Democrat doesn't
think a Cleveland Democrat Is a
Democrat and a Cleveland Democrat
doesn't think a Bryan Democrat is a
Democrat and a good many OF those
who call themselves by the Democrat
ic name behave as If they do not think
Jefferson was Democrat. Hearsts S
perplexity ought to be pardoned.-
Charlotte Observer.
Aside from controlling the admin
istration of the government, what is
the difference between a Democrat and
a Republican?
