White, corresponding secre tary of the Baptist missions department of the convention to meet at Aabcville,1 states that the board lacked Just $1,000 of having the 120,000 pledged by the convention to State missions and ask that the amount be raised. It is believed that every dollar of the (30,000 pledge will be in band before the conventions meets on next Wednesday. Subscriptions are being taken for the purpose of erecting a Confederate mon ument in the court square, at Sbelby as a result of the resolutions passed by the veterans reunlou Thanksgiving Day.

Newt From Kimberiey It Xeagr.. Strict Ceatonhle It la Fore. Special to Journal. Lokdok, December 3 The latest hew from Natal indicate that the bulk of the British force destined fer the relief of Ladyamlth hat arrived at Frert. This force It under the command of General Hlldyard.batit la act known whether any of hit army has moved farward to wards Oolentoi There has been considerable conjec ture of the whereabouts of General Clery wbate movements have not been ehroni cled lately. Surmise Is made in tome quartan that Clery may appear .in a totally unexpected place, either on the flank or In the rear of the Boar army under General Joubert. General Joubert la aupposed to be concentrated at Grobbler't Kloff, on the north bank of the Tngela river. This place commands the Tugela river and is close to Colenso. The latest new from Frere Is tbat on Tuesdsy the British drove back the Boers, who were trying to destroy the bridge at Colenso, To which bridge the dispatch refers U uncertain, as there are two bridges one for the railway and tbe other for a pub- cli road crossing the Tugela at Colenso Tbe railway bridge has already been re ported as bsvlng been destroyed. It Is likely that tblt report was incorrect. In order to make one of the bridges absolutely pecure the British force must cross the river and intrench on the farther bank. It is not stated whether General Hildyard hat been able to do h's. Colenso it likely to be, or has alrerdv been, the scene of a great bottle, the meeting of the British relief force for Ladysmlth with the Boer army disputing the passage of the Tugela river. It id now estimated that the British have 80,- 000 troops In Natal, and the fight at Colenso will probably decide whether these are to reconquer the north) rn part of the colony or fall bank in detreat. On. thtt battle, also, will depend the fate ol Ladysmlth, which la about IS miles north of Colenso, on tbe Natal Government railroad. The British war officials are conceal- ng the facta as to the battle of Modder rider, which was fought Tuesday, and as to other military movements in South Africa. The centora were unusually active yesterday, allowing no late news to be cabled from tbe teat of war. The lots of the British at Modder river has not yet been made known in Lon don. The only clues to Its extent are found In General Methuen's dispatch stating that tbe conflict was "one of the hardest fights In the annals of the British army," and In a partial list of officers killed and wounded, which hat been an nounced. So far as hat been made public Gener al Metbueo it still held at tbe couth side of tbe Modder, but it is hoped in London tbat he will reach Kimberiey Sunday. HANNA WILL RETIRE.

Both Branches Adjoarn In Memory Of Vice President Hokart. President's Message Rot Sent In Washington, Dec. 4. With tbe ex ception of the skirmish in the House, which for a time threatened to become a pitched political battle, over referring the case of Roberts to a committee before allowing mm to De sworn In, there was nothing exciting in the opening session of either branch of Congress. 1 he session of the Senate, which had no organization to perfect, was very short, adjournment following the an nouncement of Vice President Hobarl's death. The House, after electing Speaker Henderson, and Ibe officers of tbe last Houso, with the exception of Mr. Henry Cason, of Wise., who was elected 8er gesnt at-Arms, in place of Mr. B. F. Kusseti, of mo., who held that ouce id the last Congress, and swearing In Its members, also adjourned after the an nouncement of Mr. Hobarts death. Few regretted that the President's message was not sent in today, and the message to be read tomorrow, in both House and Senate It unutually long- more than 30,000 wordsand although tt It a very important document, will con tain little tbat ha not been outlined, through the Pretldent't tpeeche and tbe remarks of his adviser la and out of the (Jejjlnet.

Rehearinar of the Assessment Case. The Tobacco Wrowers Meet To day. Clly Will Buy the Waterworks. Vance Model About Ready. Kaleiuii, Dec. 4 during the past 30 days a petition aigned by nearly every lawyer in the western district (composed of 47 counties) bas been sent to Senator Pritcbard and Butler, asking them to use every effort to secure the confirma tion of Judge Ewart. The attorneys say in tbe petition that tbe judge has presided at several terms of court and tbat his sppointraent Is entirely accept able to the bar of tbe district This is in Itself a great compliment to the jndge and au answer to Senator Butler's charge that be is unfit for the place. In fact, there is curiosily to know what position the Senator will now take in tbe Senate on this question Denial is made most positively of statement that there bas been made a deal between Senators Pritcbard and Butler by which Judge Ewart is to lie dropped on the condition that Butler aud the Populists fight the constitutional amendment and that Marshall Molt hall be made judge. A telegram was received by tbe attor neys Tor the corporation commission and the Governor from Judge Simonton, which was a reply to the petition to fix a time for hearing u motion for a rehear ing and re-argument of the tax assess ment case. The judge says that be will fix the time and give the railroads au opportunity to make answer. The at torneys sent a telegram to the judge im mediately asking him to fix tbe earliest day possible. The hearing will be at Charleston. There was a long and lively debate at the meetln; of tbe board of aldermen last night as to an anti-expectoration ordinance. There was a lie as to the prohibition of spitting on side walks, 6 to 0. The mayor broke It by voting no Tho prohibition on!v extends to churches and public halls Bootblacks are by a new ordinance re quired to pay $ a year license. They say they propose to form a trust and charge "ten rents b shine," instead of tho customary nickel There is as yet no talk of their applyiug for an injunc tlon or taking the matter before the Supreme Court.

Losses are Heavy. British Army Increased to U MOO for South Africa. London, December 8 The British dead and wounded at the bardfougbt battle of Modder river number 473, ac cordiug to tbe official list nude public. With the lost of 183 men la tbe battle at (Jra9 I'an and 297 at Belmont, this makes a total of 970, killed or wounded, oji of a force of about 7,000 men. The Queen is grieving so deeply over the heavy losses of the British troops in South Africa lhat she can scarcely be in duced to talk on any other topic, and, as a result, rfhe is subject to severe sciatic and other nerve attacks Tomorrow the first of the militia bal talious called out for garrison duty in England will be put in service. After making every allowance for off! cers who have fallen by the way and for hose in captivity at Pretoria, tbe British rmy in South Africa, including auxilia ries, will soon comprise lli.olO officers and men. Its st length accords accurately with the estimate of experienced. Uer man ('Ulcers i;f the number of men necessary to insure British victoiy. London, Dec. :i The Daily Mail has received the following dispatch from Julian ltalph, its correspondent with eiieral Methuen: Bm, mont, Nov. 28 (iereral Methuen's force fought a big engagement at the Modder river today will) tbe lloers. The Boers numbered at least 8,000, having been reinforced from the army investing Kimberiey. The British found them strongly in trenched on both banks of the river, also in the broad bed of tbe stream which was pretty dry. They were es pecially strong on the northern bank wblcn, be in,' heavily lined with thick bushes, foini 'il an ideal position for the Boors. The burghers in possession of this',.placc have been for several weeks busily preparing for today's battle. Tbe tight ing waa terrific. It raged for hours, being especially hard in the after noon. The British, however, although in ferior in numbers, showed magnificent gallanlry, drove the Boers out of tbelr position on tlie south side of tbe river, forced lhe:n across the stream and tbeu cleared tliein from tbe other side, until they were driven oil at full retreat.
