John endorsing the work OF Rev.
and Mrs. Snuggs was unanimously
adopted. Knowing personally of
the real values oe the service of
these good people, it always affords
the Bantists of this association,
both Individually and collectively,
pleasure to speak word in their
behalf and to bid them Godspeed
in their work.
With one accord and with unn-
sual emphasis, all who were present
pronounced this informal confer
ence one of the most delightful oc.
casions Of the kind that they have
ever attended. While the ladies
who were present did not partici'
pate actively in the deliberations.
they smiled approvingly upon what
as done, and otherwise greatly IA
cilitatpd the work Of the day by
providing bountiful luncheon
which was served in the annex OF
the church.

Berea and Stevens Creek.

Next Sunday morning at the
regular hour for service a special
service will be held at Berea church.
Rev. and Mrs. John Lake will be
present and Mr.. Lake will conduct
the service. This is the nearest
church in the Edgefeld association
TO the boyhood home of MIR. Lake
and we are confident that twill
afford him peculiar pleasure to
meet the people of that section. On
the other hand, we are sure the peo-
Pile will be very glad of the oppor-
tunity of again seeing Mr.. Lake
and meeting Mrs. Lake.
From Berea Mr.. and Mrs. Lake
will go to Stevens Creek church to
conduct special service Sunday
afternoon. This was the church to
which Mr. Lakes ancestry belonged
and it will also give him pleasure to
meet the good people of thatsec-
ton. If we mistake not he served
Stevens Creek as pastor when he
was resident of the county. Next
Sunday should be a happy daRssT

Primitive Wheat.

All cultivated plants have their
ancestors which remain in saw
age state. The greater part of our
vegetables and fruit trees come
from Persia where they yet have
representatives that grow spontane-
ously. The grape vine grew origi-
nally only on the plateaus of Cen
tral Asia. Wheat originated proba.
bly, in the vallay of the Euphrates,
where the necessary humidity first
seemed to work on plant life most
favorably. A traveller who recently
visited the highlands of Galilee re-
ports that he has found wild
wheat that must be the progenitor
of the modern wheat. This wild
wheat covers extensive acres and is
a vigorous plant with marked nu-
tritive properties. 1t seems proof
against drought or frost and adapts
Itself easily to arid soil.-Harper's s
weekly.

Defeat of Bond Issue May
Mean Higher Taxes.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 94.-The
general impression in South Carroll,
ma was that only a majority vote
was required to pass the bond issue
for 81, 100000 to relieve the con.
gested conditions at the State Hos.
pital for the Insane. Investigation
of the joint resolution providing for
the election, late last night, devel-
oped the fact that two-thirds vote
was required. The measure only
carried by 996 votes and is, there
fore, lost.
The defeat of the asylum bond
issue means that the state of South
Carolina will have to do some high
financing next year. 1t means
tt the annual budget will have 10
be increased by several hundred
THOUSAND dollars to meet the loans
from the sinking fund commission,
AID that the state tax levy will have
to be increased from five mills to
possibly seven mills. The resolu-
tion providing for the election on
the issue was introduced in the
house by Lowndes j. Browning,
chairman of the ways and
means committee. The resolution
provided that the bonds were to run
for forty years at per cent. per an
mum. The property of the old
State Hospital for the Insane was
put up as security. If the issue had
carried the taxpayers would not have
had to pay one cent extra, as the
property in Columbia is very valua-
BILE, containing several hundred
acres.
South Carolina is trying to re-
fund her debt of S6,OOO,oO0. This
throws the state on a rocky way.

The School Letters.

What has become of The Adver-
tiser's school children? We have
missed them. Only Q or 3 letters
have been sent in by school child.
rem since the session opened. Wake
up children and bestir yourselves.
You teachers must become interest
ed too. Early last year The Adver-
tiser threw its columns open to the
school children of the county in the
hope that it would aid the teachers
in their efforts to induce their pup
lis to take more interest in letter
writing, something that is too much
neglected in our schools. We were
gratifed at the prompt and very
generous responses that came. AL
most every school sent in one or
more letters through its pupils.
Now we want to see the same inter-
est taken this session. The Adver
,iser will cheerfully give space for
six or more letters each week. Only
one week however must be writ
ten from school.
Children, be sure to send your
name with your letters. We never
publish an article of any kind that
is not accompanied by the name Of
the writer. If so requested, we will
not publish the nan of the author
but nust have it on file in the office.
Several weeks ago we received a
nicely written letter from the Gard
nervlIe school but the writer neg
lected 10 send his or her name, and
for thar reason the letter was not
publis I'd. We did not know who
wrote it, so we could not write the
sender ,,hy it never did appear in
the paper. Send in your letters
children. The Advertiser will glad
ly bear the cost of publishing them
in order l., encourage you and your
faithful |, achers.

An Inst rucGve Lecture.
Business

DR.. V. I. Masters, editorial sec
retary of the Baptist Home Mis-,
sion board, of Atlanta, accompa-
MED by his eldest son, a prepossess-
ing lad of l6, spent Saturday and
Sunday in Edgefield as guests of
Col. F. N. K. Bailey. Saturday
night Mr.. Masters gave an illus
trated lecture at the college on the
work that is being done by the
home mission board. Sunday night
he also gave an illustrated lecture
at the Baptist church showing what
the southern Baptists are doing in
Cuba, in the large cities and in the
mountain regions of Virginia,
North Carolinl and Kentucky. The
illustrations were placed upon the
screen with unusual clearness, the
outlines being as distinct and
bright as the actual photographs.
Many of the photographs were TAX
en- by Mr.. Masters himself as he
has visited the mission fields in an
official capacity. As Mr.. Masters is
an eloquent and fascinating speaker
and having too an intimate personal
knowledge of the several fields and
their workers, the lecture was ex-
ceedingly interesting. 1t was not
only instructive but will result in
increased interest in home missions.
