Thanksgiving and tho Orphans.

In view of the fact that Thanksgiv-
Ing Day, or the Sunday following, is
the only church collection recon-
mended by the Synods of South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida to be taken
up for their orphans, the following
items in regard to Thornwell Orphan
age, which Is owned by the three
synods aforesaid, may be Of interest
to the readers Of The Courier:
The Thornwell Home and School
for Orphans was founded in 1875,
opening it's doors to eight fatherless
children. 1t had one small cottage.
This one building has increased to
sixteen 1.-TWO shortly to be completely
and each cottage will give a home to
twenty pupils, more or less. In 1886
the school was so graded as to cover
furteen years, and in 1892 a techni-
cal department was added, so that
the boys might De taught some use
full trade. Up to that date farming
was the only business taught. This
education Is given entirely free to de-
serving orphans Of any denomination
and from any part Of our country.
Near a thousand youths have been
under its influence and enjoyed it's
training. The provision flor the sup
port, education and other
Of these children (265 now with us)
is derived from personal donations of
interested persons, or from church
and Sunday school collections.
The Thornwell O%rphanage is locat-
ed In Clinton, South Carolina, at the
crossing Of the Seaboard Air Line
and Atlantic Coast Line railways. 1t
Is under Presbyterian influence and
control, but does not refuse aid to
n on account Of religious differ
ences. No surrender Of children to
its guardianship is required Of rela-
tives. Pupils may leave at their
W choice If they do not wish to re-
main. Children are not given out to
service. The only business OF the
institution is to teach and train them.
The orphans interest Is the first con-
Isideration. The presiding head of the
orphanage Is Rev. VIM. p. Jacobs,
who receives gifts for the support and
applications for the admission of
pupils.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE.
Next Session Will Begin ut Anderson
November 9th.
(AndcrSOn MALL

The eyes OF South Carolina Metho-
dists in particular, and the members
OF other denominations in general,
will be turned toward Anderson the
latter part Of the present month, be-
cause the conference, the governing
body Of the church in the State, will
begin here its annual sessions on the
night Of the 27th. Anderson Metho-
dists and their friends have made ar
rangements to throw open their doors
Of hospitality to the delegates, and
each and every II will be made to
feel at home. The pleasant social
work Is one Of the attractive fea-
lures Of the Methodist Conference in
South Carolina. The ministers min
gle together and discuss informally
terest.
Distinguished Bishops.
Bishop John G. Kilgo will preside.
Many distinguished bishops and edu-
Gators attend the conferences, and
their able addresses and III pro-
vide instruction and information for
the ministers and the delegates.
Under the rules Of the Methodist
Conference a minister must change
his charge, or church, every four
years, and consequently at the annual
conferences there is a general move
ment among the pastors. Some arc
sent from smaller churches to larger
churches, while others are sent from
larger churches to others Of less
prominence. The changes among the
pastors are followed with interest by
the ministers themselves and their
friends and friends OF their families.
Educational Matters.
Educational matters and improve
ments in the various UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges in the State also lend addi-
tional interest to conference proceed
ings, especially among those who are
directly concerned with the ana
ment Of the institutions. Columbia
College is the Methodist college
maintained by the conference for
girls, while Wofford TAT ~Spartanburg)
is TIE male institution. Friends of
these two institutions will watch
with interest action on matters that
are related to improvements in the
educational facilities Of the denomi-
nation.
Epworth Orphanage, another
church institution, is located in Co.
lumbia.

H~cartbroken Husband Didn't Know
She Was Away from Home.

New York, Nov. 14.-An automo-
bile containing four men and a wo-
man tumbled backN- over a 15O-
foot precipice at the edge of High
land Boulevard in Brooklyn just be-
tore midnight last night, killing the
woman, Mrs. Andrew Reid, and seri-
ously injuring two Of the men. The
men, who declined to give their
names, explained that the chauffeur
had lost control Of his car while at
tempting to turn 1t around in the
narrow roadway.
Mrs. Reid was the wife Of a Brook
lyn manufacturer. Her husband
found her body lying in a suburban
police station shortly after midnight.
He declared that he knew nothing
about the ride and was unacq,iainted

Pcaty Swamp Lands.

Bulletin 1877 Of the Illinois station
treats Of experiments made with a
view to improving the peaty soils of
redeemed swamp lands which
abound in Northern Illinois. Peaty
soils are usually so rich in humus
that the application Of stable manure
to them is wasteful. They do not
need nitrogen as a rule. 1t was
found that most OF them are also
abundantly supplied with phospohirc
acid; but the application of potash
was n~oticeably beneficial. In one in
stance, in Tazewell county, it was
also found that applications of nitro
gen increased the value OF the crops
for six successive years from $50 an
acre to 1920 an acre, all told.
Lime may be applied to peaty soils
with decided profit.

ness career he has been so signal1y
successful
One significant fact in the remarka-
bic success of this rising young archi-
tect is that the firm of Uffenell &
Holmes was not formed until last
May. In that short time the rise of
these two young men has been most
rapid, as is evidenced by the magni-
tude of the contract for the Harvester
Company
The Chicago Tribune of September
goth, in speaking of the new building,
publishes picture of the proposed
structure and says:
Work has been started on a new
warehouse to be erected by the Inter
national Harvester Company to cost
$350,000. 1t will be located at Blue
Island and Oakley avenues, with a
frontage of $50 feet on the Burlington
tracks.
1T will be seven stories and base
ment with tower about 100 feet high
and twelve stories high, and will con-
tain nearly seven acres of floor space.
The plans contemplate the storage
of 500 tons Of water in the twelfth
floor of the tower for sprinkling pur-
poses. Uffenell & Holmes are the
architects"
Mr.. Holmes has had a number of
other important contracts since he has
been engaged in architectural and en-
cheering work, among these some i'm
portant railroad assignments, one of
which. very important piece of rail-
road work, took him into New Mex
leo. where he spent some time.
On locating permanently in Chicago.
he and his partner, Mr.. Uffenell, had
employment with the same firm and
were SO successful in their work that
they decided to go into business for
themselves in May. under the firm
name of Uffenell & Holmes.
The contract for the Harvester Com
pany is an important one, for such a
contract can but lead to other i'm
portant work along the same lines.
