OATS AND HAY QUARANTINED.
Act of Legislature Prohibits Imp0rta-

tory into this State.
Attention is directed to act 265 of
the Legislature Of South Carolina,

into this State any oats or prairie hay
from points affected by the boil wee
vii in the State of Texas, or from

originally shipped from points af-
fected by the weevil in the States of
Texas. Following is the act referred
to:
"An act to guard against the intro
duction of the Mexican boil weevil
into this State:
whereas, pest commonly desig-
mated as the Mexican boil weevil is a
great actual evil in the State OF
Texas, and is a menace to the whole
cotton belt, and is ascertained to be
capable Of dissemination in cotton
seed, therefore:
"Section I. BE it enacted by the
General Assembly Of the State Of

the approval Of this act by the Cover
nor, 1t shall be unlawful to import

1T is charged that mission money
is used to support widows and or
phans, the blind and the halt, the
leper and the outcast in heather
lands.
The crarge is simply not true. The
Foreign Mission Board does not use
one dollar Of mission money for any
such purposes. When there is a
famine and people in those lands are
starving, our people at home give
large sums Of money for the special
purpose Of relieving their hunger;
but mission money is given in obedi-
ence to the command to make and
teach disciples among the nations
and is used for that purpose and no
other.
Serious objection is raised to the
work of medical missionaries and
Christian schools in mission lands.
Why not have such work? Our
Lord Himself went about "prcaching.
teaching and healing the sick" The
Apostles went forth doing the same,
and to-day these things go hand in
hand in the work Of evangeliZation.
the hospital and the Christian school
are both powerful cvangelizing agen-
cies. They are needed now as in our
Lords day to supplement and make
more effective the work Of the preach
er. Moreover, the Scriptures lay
down no explicit rules as to methods
OF work. In such matters the Lords
people are given much latitude.
1t is claimed that the converts in
heather lands are "rice Christians"
and they profess to follow Christ for
the lOaNes and fishes.
Wei. some people did that when
our Lord was preaching, and even in
Christian America dOubtlcs some are
members Of the church from selfish
motives. Care Is needed to keep
people from doing the same on
foreign fields. That care is so ef-
members get into the mission church.
cs. On the contrary, many native
Christians suffer cruel prosecutions
Tor the. faith, and they contribute
literally of their means for the sup
port and spread OF the gospel among
thelr own people. The native Chris
tians OF our Southern Baptist fields
with the missionaries gave $6G, ,5GS
laSt year, an average Of SO a mem
Dor while the Baptists Of the South
gave an average Of about four dollars
per member for all religious pur-
poses. According to their means.
these native Christians are more H.
hcral than our people at home. Does
that indicate that they are following
FOR the 'loavcs and Gshcs?"
1t is claimed that the foreign mis-
sion work IS failure, the mission
aries are unfaithiul, and that the
foreign converts are hypocritcs.
On the contrary, many Of our lead
ing stat csmen, diplomats, and other
Well-known travellers who have made
1t their business to investigate mis-
sionary work. together with scores
OF prominent laymen, who have gone
out at their own expenses to look in
to conditions on the field, bear en-
thnsiastic testimony to the consccra-
tion, devotion and self-sacrilicing
labOrs Of the missionaries and to the
really marvellous results Of the GOSPEL
In the lives Of the people

In the Wrong Party?
(SDartanburg Journal,)

(SpartanDurg JOurnaI.)
E. Il. Werner, Of Oconee, says he
will make the race for Congress next
year against Mr.. Aiken, and will run
as "protectionis;." One of Mr.. Yer
ners ideas is that tariff that will
make the price Of cotton goods high
will make the price of cotton high.
We have a high tariff now on cotton
goods, the highest ever known, but
what's the matter with the price ,of
cotton? Mr.. Verner's theory Is non
sense. Protecting the manufactured
product does not afford any protec-
tion whatever to the raw material.
Again, If Mr.. Werner Is "protection-
i2t,' he is in the wrong party.

KNOX DRAFTS NEW TREATY.
Anglo-American Alliance Ready for
Special Session.

Washington, D. C.-The drafting OF
new arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain to in
Glued all disputes between the two
countries has been begun by Secretary
OF State Knox. Negotiation of the
convention will be expedited as much
as possible, with view to submit
ting 1t to the senate for ratification
at the special session to begin April a
The treaty will be the first of its
kind ever negotiated and will provide
for arbitration on all disputes between
the United States and Great Britain.
The work Of drawing up the new con-
vention will be difficult, because the
document will be the first of its kind.
1t will be used as model for similar
conventions with other countries.
Negotiation of general arbitration
treaty with Great Britain is the direct
'esult Of the speech of Sir Edward
Trey, minister of Foreign affairs of
treat Britain, in the house of com
mons several weeks ago, in which he
aid that proposal for negotiation of
uch convention would be welcomed
~ the British government.
While President Taft and Mr.. Knox
AVE been in favor of such a treaty
or some months, they were not in
lined to make definite proposal of the
ubject to Great Britain until official
Information had first been obtained as
o the probable attitude of that coun- |
ny toward the proposal. The speech
u Sir Edward Grey cleared up this
'hase of the situation and paved the
way for actual negotiations.
The attitude of the senate will de-
ermine whether or not other conven-
ions, similar to that negotiated with
treat Britain, will be drawn up and
for ratification.
1t is understood that preliminary
Exchanges have been made through
he State department to ascertain the |
attitude of the French government to-
ward general arbitration treaty COW
ring all future disputes. These con-
'entions, If ratified and put into oper-
'tion, will be long step towards in
ernationl peace.

TOWN DEFIEs INsuRREcros.
200 Rebels Fail to Capture Village
After Five Hours of Firing.

Parral, Mex.-Demands of 200 or
more insurrectos for the surrender of
the town of indie, situated several
hours ride from the national railroad,
were refused by the jefe politico and
as a result fire lasting five hours was
directed on the town. The insurrectos
lost eight men.
A boy was sent by the insurrectos
with message to the authorities ask
ing for surrender, promising no pillag-
ing was to be done. The boy was de-
tanned and short time afterwards a
few shots dropped into the plaza.
Just then the tri-color of the republic
was run up the pole by order of the
jefe as defiance to the invaders. and
then the firing commenced with vigor.
