stopping place for shows, travelling
men and the like. To prove that the
little town Is growing. a travelling
show saw fit to spend the first three
days Of this week In the little city and

present, the attendance on the per-
formances was about as large as 1t

or some Of the other towns that boast
Of larger population than Filbert.
FiIbert Gins Much Cotton.
Up to last Monday night 1871 bales
Of cotton had been ginned at Filbert
this season-the largest amount on
record there. Last season only 1.460
bales were ginned. The ginnery has
been drawing from new territory
somewhat this year: but most Of the
increase Is due to the extra large crop
raised in that section. The work Of
the gins there Is Of course becoming
slack now, and 1t Is not believed there
are more than 200 bales yet to be
ginned.

Flint Hill Church.
DR.. z. T. Cody, editor Of the Baptist
Courier, has this to say about Flint
Hill church., in this weeks issue:
Flint Hill church, in the York asso-
citation, is exactly the thing our con-
vention speakers have in mind when
in reverence and admiration theV
speak Of the country Baptist church.
Almost all the glories Of that ideal can
be found at Flint Hill. 1t has the his
tory, the achievements, the intelli-
gence the substantial character, the
good old ways, the unaffected piety,
the deep religious life, the old, old
graveyard, the church house that Is
the best building in the community
and a people who find their social and
religious center in the church. The
church has had worthy history, but
It perhaps never in all Of its great ca
reer did better work than 1t Is now
doing under the leadership Of Brother
S. P. Hair. It's gifts to all objects dur
ing it's fiscal year, that recently closed,
were $2,280.14, and these were propor-
tionately distributed to all the objects
which Baptists in South Carolina are
supporting The present membership
is 275, and the increase by letter and
baptism last year were thirteen. The
church was organized in 1892 and mas
had four houses Of worship. The pres
ent house Is a brick building, erected
during the pastorate Of Brother E. s.
Reayes, and is most admirably adapt
ed to the work Of country church
and Sunday school"
