night makaa a glance St' that demon*

The Missionary baptist la probably
the strongest religions denomination
numerically and financially, In tbs
state. It Is rather difficult to arrive
at exart data of Its strength, as, ac
cording to their system, each church
or association, may or may not, be-
long to the Convention, as they de
sire, as each church Is an Independent
body. The data given, however, la
taken from the minutes of the Gear-
of 1*06

Parian Paints have made thousands of staunch ad
herents simply through a testing trial. It will be
found to cover more space at less cost, and to outlast
any paint ever developed in the world. It stands ab
solutely alone in its marvelous perfection of quality,
economy and durability. Use Parian Paint Only.

Whore Opium Is Used.
The smoking of opium began in
China and is peculiar to the Chi
nese. Tho Hindoos and Malays eat
it Complicated and widespread as
the smoking habit is today, it is a j
modern custom as time rung in Chi-'
no. There seems to be little doubt'
in the minds of those “Sinologues”
who have traced the opium thread
back through the tangle of early
.missionary reports and - imperial
edicts that the habit started either
in Formosa or on the mainland
across the straits, where malaria is
common. Opium had been used
generations before is a remedy for
malaria, and these first smokers
seem to have mixed a little opium
with thfiir tobacco, which had been
introduced by the Portuguese in the
early seventeenth century. From
this beginning, it would appear, was
developed the rather elaborate out
fit which the opium smoker of today
considers necessary to his pleasure.
