MINISTER TELLS
OF CHINA FAMINE
RE.f. CHARLES n. LEONARD SANS
THERE Is MUCH WANT AND
DESTITU1TON.

Graphic description of famine con-
ditions in China Is given in letter
by the Rev Charles A. Leonard to
the Baptist Foreign Board of Mis-
sions, whose headquarters are located
in Richmond.
Writing from Laiohowfu. China, the
minister says in part:
For month or more refugees
have been coming By here from the
Anhwei Province, in tentral China
where the famine is raging. All of
them are poor. and come to the gates
OF the missionaries homes and beg
for food, clothing and money. This
afternoon there Were twenty-five of
them at the gate when DR. CASTOR
and ! returned from a walk. All are
very poor, and many scantily clad
though the weather has been severe
women have their la Dies bound to
their waists, inside their clothing. that
the little ones may not freeze. They
are making their way to where en-
ployment of some kind may be had
Last Sunday morning l came across a
family upon the road consisting of
father. mother and three children.
The father was pushing wheelbar-
row, upon which was some clothing
and mats under which to sleep at
a small child. The poor man was so
weak that he could not push the bar
row up a small Hill in the road. ] put
some of my strength to the barrow
and helped him Aivng, and the favor
was greatly appreciated.
The famine is about 500 miles to
the southwest of us There are g.
10000 people affected with thou
sands starving at the present time
The crops failed the past season. prin-
cipally on account of floods, and the
people are absolutely without food
The winter has not more than half
ing the bark of trees. and those who
can get them at eating potato leaves
and vines. OF course. many are dying
every hour, and yet the worst has not
yet come, as after while there will
be nothing at all 10 sustain life ex-
cept what the missionaries and Chi
nese officials will be able to get to
them
Truly one must see ii ever to have
a true conception of the horrors of a
famine. ] thought some weeks ago
that ] had seen pitiful things. but as
the days drag along there are many
things to see which appeal to the very
depths of ones pity and sympathy.
When ! see men who know are hard,
faithful workers, idle now and with
starvation staring them in tho faces.
Encouragement and despair already
written there, ii is far more than a
man wants to see."

EHRHARDT ETCHINGS.
Farmers Holding Cotton-News in
the Ehrhardt Section.

Ehrhardt, Oct. 9.-The cold wave
reached us in good shape yesterday.
Made US all hunt up some heavier
clothes than we have been accustom-
ed to wearing.
Sugar cane is growing very fast.
These cool nights will cause 1t to ma
ture faster. Soon we will have to
work it up into syrup and sugar.
Some one in this section must have
been trying to teach the mosquitoes
the phonetic method. have noticed
quite a number of them among
some daily papers, suppose looking
up the latest news.
Farmers seem to be in no hurry
to sell their cotton now. Say the
price is too low for them. They are
hauling it home and piling it to await
the higher market.
The Baptists had an oyster supper
last week, the proceeds to go towards
furnishing their church at this place.
A moving picture show the same
night divided somewhat with them.
Some Of our citizens are thinking
of attending the dedication service OF
the Theological Seminary building,
to be held in Columbia this week.

county, so mind how you shoot at a
target with your rifle, or you will kill
one-or more. JEE.

AGED WOMAN SOLD LIQUOR.
Chester Negress Again Caught IL
Unlawful Traffic.

Chester, Oct. 8.-Della Caldwell,
colored, who was fined $25 in may
or's court few days ago, for viola
ton of the dispensary law, the fine
being reduced on account of the wo-
mans infirm health, contributed an
additional $50 TO the city's strong
box Saturday morning, on a similar
charge. She was caught Friday with
the goods in her place by Chief OF
Police Sanders and Officer Jackson,
and evidently considered the case
against her too clear and conclusive,
as she elected to forfeit her bond
without appearing for trial:
The liquors were concealed in a
table, which had loose board on top
communicating with cleverly-con-
cealed compartment below, trap-door
fashion. On the table dishes were
piled about, and it required keen
eye to discern the slide that COM
municated with the stock of liquor
concealed in the table.
Fifteen empty bottles, kept on
hand for putting up stock, and three
full pints were seized.

DR.. w. T. Derieux then read the
27th Psalm and Rev. G. w. Britton
offered prayer. Then followed a
violin solo rendered with ineffable
sweetness and pathos by Miss Eliza
beth Roberts, of Ehrhardt. After
this the congregation sang HOY

Early in the morning our song sna.'

At the conclusion of this hymn
the pastor, who was raster of ce:s-
monies, introduced Rev. VIM. I.
Derieux, D. D., corresponding secre-
tary of the State mission board OF
the Baptist convention of South Caro-
lima, who preached the dedication
sermon. DR.. Derieux announced as
his text Psalm 27:4, "One thing have
] desired of the Lord, That will I
seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my
life. to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to enquire in His temple" The
sneaker was earnest and eloquent
and the mastery discourse was lis
tened to with rapt attention through
ont the forty-fve minutes of its de-
livery. ,,,.,
At it's conclusion, Messrs. J. Will
1iams Carter, G. J. HERS, and John
r. Carter, recently elected trustees,
were requested to come forward
and face the rostrum. In behalt OF
the building committee, Prof. Jake
Carter, in few brief but well CHOSEN
remarks, delivered to them the
church keys. The ceremony over
the people rose and repeated in uni,

be with us as He was with our faith
ers. Let Him not leave us nor for
sake us, that He may incline our
hearts unto Him to walk in all His
ways and to keep His commandments,
Amen, Amen"
While the people still stood upon
their feet, Rev. E. A. Mcdowell, the
pastor, led in the prayer of dedica-
ton.
The closing exercises followed as
the congregation joined in singing,
81 love Thy kingdom Lord, the
house of Thine abode, the church
our blest Redeemer saved, with His
own precious blood"
The benediction was then pro-
nounced by DR.. Derieux.
The building is commodious and
convenient and as may be. seen by
the accompanying cut, presents an
attractive exterior appearance. A
Brussels carpet and set of three
handsome chairs grace the pulpit,
while the other furnishings are all
that could be desired. These includ-
ing the organ, are special contribu-
tions of the ladies. The pulpit Bible

At 1880 o'clock the exercises
were begun with voluntary by the
