men workers In the mill villages do
superb welfare work, and the State
mission board has become the model
OF many similar boards in other
Southern States in this regard. It's
purely missionary work costs the
convention about $4,000 yearly.
Schools and Colleges.
J Baptists maintain not only excel
lent colleges for both men and women,
but a. number Of high schools also.
An education board has lately beer.
created by the State convention,
whose duty is to have a general over
sight Of all the conventions educa-
tional enterprises.
The high schools oS the Baptists are
North Greenville Academy at Tiger
Vile: Spartan at Landrum; Six-Mile
in Oconee County; Twelve Mile in
Pickens County. and Sievern in Aiken
County. The colleges are Furman
University for men; Furman Fitting
School. a preparatory school for men:
Greenville Femal College. Cokerf Col
|.lege at Hartsville. and Anderson Col
lege at Anderson. for women.
1t Is probable that Coker College is
the best equipped and most largely
endowed Of any denominational school
in the State. Major James Ii Coker,
founder OF the college. has given
about half a million dollars to this
institution. 1t is probable that his
donations are larger than the gifts
Of any other individual in the South
to education.
All the Baptist Colleges arc well
equipped. The churches have in re-
cent years contributed very literally
to educatioDll enterprises. Greenville
Female College has used $4,000 in
permanent improvements in the last
three or four years, and Furman has
raised 100000 for additional endow-
ment in the last IS months:
The Years Growth.
In the last decade the Baptist de-
nomination has grown wonderfully in
this State. as the following interesting
figures will reveal: In 1904 there
were 93i churches; In 1914 there are
I'LL. In 1904 there were 102,S33
members; in 1914 there are 14S,646
members. Contributions to the. va
ricus causes have kept mace with the
growth in numbers. The following
table will snow the increase in con-
tributions. as taken from published
statistics:

SURGEONS SPLICE A. MANS SPINE WITH.
 HIS OWN SHIN BONE
Unusual Operation at Grif- fin Hospital Tn Derby At tracts Widespread Atten- tion.
(special to the Farmer.)

Derby, Feb. 7-The case of Charles Waterbury, a Monroe, Conn.,, farmer in the Griffin hospital here is attract ing widespread attention among phy- sicians and surgeons. Waterbury lives with a broken back, which of it. self is not so unusual as the measures which have been adopted to restore him to a normal condition.
 Surgeons in. attendance on Water bury performed an unusual operation on Thursday night. With the aid of an x- Ray machine they, discovered the nature of the fracture of the mans $ spine, and decided that with the ap- pIication of splints of bone there was a chance the mans spine might be restored to usefulness.
 First two marrow splints of bone. about four inches long, were secured from the mans shin, and then, with the barring of his spine, the splints were applied to the shattered sec ction of the spinal column. The incision was then closed, and the man placed in a cast.
 Waterbury fell from an apple tree on his farm, last Tuesday, and was unable to arise. A cursory examina- tion showed that he was paralyzed from the waist down, and the X-ray showed the fracture of the spine.
