Then the conference reports between
the two branches of congress will
follow.
Congressman Crisp stated that he
considered the legislation just en-
acted by the house as the best in the
history of the party and the nation.
He will make his first speech of the
campaign in Stewart county on July
2Sth, at barbecue.

DR. BURROWS HAS
RESIGNED FROM.
ACTIVE SERVICE.

The resignation of Dr. Lansing Bur-
rows, as pastor of the First Baptist
church was formally accepted by the
church Sunday morning
DR.. Burrows took this step under
the advice of physicians, and several
weeks ago he made known his inten-
tons to the church. After a brief va
cation, he decided to request that the
church accept his resignation.
On next Sunday, DR.. Burrows will
have served the First Baptist church
exactly seven and one-half years, and
has now completed over forty-nine
years in the active ministry.
Dr. Burrows will retain the presi-
dency of the Southern Baptist con-
vention, distinct honor which he has
had conferred on him for several
years. He will also retain his Sun
day school class and continue his
writings on church subjects. His res
ignation affects only his active min
istry with the church.
The noted Baptist divine has served
his church and the cause of religion
faithfully during his stay in Ameri-
Gus, and the church regretted to relin~
quish him from active service to the
church. He is a minister of wide
learning and prominence.
The church has not yet called min,
lister to succeed DR.. Burrows, but it is
expected that some action will be
taken at the next meeting of the
members of the First Baptist church.

Worse Flood Since 1908.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 17.-The
food situation throughout South Car
oline today is rapidly growing serious.
Rivers in every part of the state con-
tinue to rise and millions in property
damage has already been sustained.
Railroad tracks everywhere have
been inundated and the roadbed SER
icusly damaged, while many trestles
and bridges have been washed out al
together. Train service is almost to
tally suspended and wire service is
badly crippled.
The situation here is the worst ex-
perienced since the disastrous foods
CT 1908, which cost this section mil
lions in property loss, besides a num-
hcr of lives sacrificed. The overhead
National highway bridge over the
Broad river here, it is expected, will
collapse before night, and it is ex.
pected the bridge will carry away with
it another overhead highway bridge
and two railroad bridges spanning the
river within a short distance each Of
the other.
No loss of life has as yet been re-
ported, though fears are entertained
for the safety of persons living in out
lying districts, many of whom are
known to be surrounded by the rapid
ly rising waters.
