MORE MONEY FOR. MISSIONS.
Protestants of Greater New York
Decide to Increase Offering.

New York, Jan. 16.-Five thousand
laymen, representing practically all
of the Protestant churches in the
city, voted unanimously at mass
meeting in the Hippodrome this af-
ternoon to increase the foreign miss
ionary offerings at the Protestant
churches of Greater New York by
S325,00O during the coming twelve
months.
This is slightly more than 80 per
cent. increase over the sum given
last year, which was s400,116. The
amount to be donated this year will
approximate s725,000, of which
Brooklyn churches have assumed re-
sponsibility for s225,000.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Laymen Missionary
Movement, and marked the close of
the Greater New York Convention.
Nineteen cities, including New York,
in which conventions have already
been held, have pledged an increase
of $1,750,0O0 for foreign missions,
during the coming year. Two addi-
tional series of conventions begin
this week. One will include most of
the large cities in the South; the
other a group of Northern cities.
The campaign will close with
National Missionary Congress at Chi
cago on Nav 3 to 6.

Shoots Tenderfoot and Escapes.

New York, January 17.-"I'm fror:
the wild and woolly West" yelled Il
stranger in an uptown hotel to-day
as he drew a six-shooter and pointed
it at the neat patent feathers Of a
mild hammered young man.
Dance, you tenderfoot, dance!'
The terrified young man did his best
at buck and wing, but the stranger
demanded, "Faster, you dude, fast
err"
The young man could not go faster,
and the man with the gun sent a
bullet through his ankle, and quickly
escaped into the street.
The victim is in hospital with a
permanently crippled foot and the po-
lice are seeking the man who looks
like wild Westerner.

We note in a Columbia special
that representative Garris, of this
county, will introduce bill pro-
viding for the re-enactment of the
lien law, the reason given being that
the farmers want it. We don't know
what grounds Mr.. Garris has for this
belief, but so far as we know the
farmers of Bamberg county are not
worrying about the matter. In fact
things are moving on just as they
did before, and any man who wants
advances can secure them. We be-
Heve everybody would be better of

People are now giving mortgages on
their crops just as they formerly
gave liens, and there is no differ

MOTHER OF PEARL EFFECT
Charming Arrangement Of coIors
That Made Dinner Dress a
"Perfect Triumph"

In soft silk net, chosen in a pale
shade of blue and arranged over one
of the new satins shot very delicately
with palest pink and silver, charm
ing dinner dress is carried out. The
final coloring arrived at by this shot
effect, with it's yelling of pale blue, Is
an opalescent tint, with mother-Of-
pearl effect, which is very becoming,
although it is almost impossible to de-
scribe the shade in words. The pale
blue silk net forms first straight
and fairly full underskirt, arranged
over the pale pink and silver satin.
Then over this skirt there are full
draperies of net, coming from the
waist, crossing in front, and finally
taken around to the back, where they
are caught together with soft chou
of pink and silver tissue.
The low bodice is arranged in the
same way back and front, with cross
ing folds of net, and small chemi
settle of real Brussels point lace, laid
over silver tissue. The sleeves, which
stop short at the elbow, hang loosely
from the arm, and are made in the
pale-blue silk net, sewn closely witt
tiny diamonds, and finished with 6
fringe of crystal and silver bugles.

Alterations,

If yol need to alter the hip size or
the waist size of the skirt make slight
and more or less equal alterations in
all of the side seams rather than alter
one a great deal. Never alter the CEN
ter back seam. Allow the skirt to set
quite easily over the hips, and allow
the waist size to be trifie larger
than the belt You can ease the slight
fullness in when you are basting, and
the ease will make the skirt set much
