The Winnsboro District Con
ference."
9 trie* i
T
The Winnsboro District Con
ference was held in the A. M. E
church May 20 '?A. For the dele
gat?s, ministers and visitors ii
attendance, the pastor, the Rev
J. F Boyd, did all in his powe
to make it pleasant.
Those attending the conferenc
were met at Alston and conveyei
to the church where a large crow?
, awaited their arrival. Earl)
j Thursday morning, long befor
j the conference began, the write
! met two intellectual giants. The;
i were L. A. Hawkins LL. B. an<
|S. J. McKnight. They franki;
j told me that they wanted m
i and all concerned to know tha
they were candidates forelectioi
to the General Conference. Afte
they had conversed with me, dis
playiug their knowledge of th?
church and the legislation neede<
for it. I became compelled ti
! admit that those two live mei
j are worthy of the honor they seek
In his speech before the con
! ference, S. J. McKnigt said tba
j he wanted to go to the Genera
Conference because he knew th?
j wav; becai?se, as some new mei
, would be sent, he would !J?
needed to pilot them about; Prof
Hawkins said that he wanted t(
go because of his efficiency, man
i hood, and principles; because h(
j h cl the courage to strike, in th<
' right way, at any evil. He sak
that he wanted delegates to th?
j electoral college to come dowr
I there., not in any man's pocket
j but governed by principle.
In the organization of the con
ference, Rev. J. F, Young wai
elected secretary. The Rev. Dr
Curry of St Matthews and th(
Rev. I. J. Pruitt were introducer,
and they made it known tha
they too were candidates foi
el ction to the Igeneral confer
ence. The'Rev. Curry claims
that he is able to right some
wrongs. He wants the discipline
so changed that women may be
come eligible as delegates to the
general conference. Rev. I. J.
Pruitt gave satisfactory assur
ance that, if chosen, he would
work for the best interest, of the
church.
On Thursday night, the annual
sermon was preached by the Rev.
j Mr. Pvles. As was to be ex
j peeked, he preached a soul stir
. ring sermon. When the reports
; were called for on Friday, I never
saw money paid more readily.
No excuses were heard. At
: night the Rev. S. M Bowers of
'\ Union preached the educational
i sermon. It was a plain spiritual
doctrinal discourse. Saturday J.
S. Martin and J. J. Geter were
elected lay delegates to the an
nual conference which will be
held in Columbia in November.
Mr. A. P. Harper of White Hall
who, as a layman, is a candidate
for the General Conference was
'introduced. He has executive
?ability, and is kind, friendly and
I lovable. He made a favorable
; impression
,j Sunday was a great day. The
! following preachers preached:
HOa. m.. Rev. M. S. Glenn; lia.
(m.. Rev. J, \V. Lykes, presiding
elder of the district;.) p. m. Rev.
j White; 8 p. ni. Rev. J. N. Burks.
; The sermons were grand espec
I ?ally the one preached by the
' presiding elder.
1 Elder Lykes announced that
over $260 was raised and that
the conference was the best
conference he had held in all his
?life.

Mrs. A. M. Reddick,
AN URGENT APPEAL f
To the Baptist of South Caro
lina.
We are making tins appeal tc
every Baptist pastor, church, Sun
day School, U"ion and Association
iii the State in the behalf of Morris
College. You are hereby asked and
urged to immediately take a con
tri but ion for the mortgaged debt ol
Morris College, which debt must be
looked after at once.
The amount asked for is twc
dollars ($2 00) from each church,
Union, and Association and one
dollar ($1.00) from each Sunday
School. The amount asked is small,
and we truly hope that no church
Union, Sunday School, or Associa
tion will fail to respond to this ap
peal at once. There are many in
dividuals who can easily give one
dollar ($1.00) and we earnestly
call upon all such to do so.
If any church, Sunday School,
Union, Associatisn or individual
can give more than the amount
asked for, by all means do so, but
?lo not fail to give the amount here
in stated. Kvery dollar contributed
in response to this appeal will be
applied to the college without de
ducting a single cent for expense.
Now brother, the matter is
squarely before you Do you love
your denomination? Do >ou want
it to own something? Then now is
your time to act. Morris College
does not belong to any particular
section, or association; it belongs
to all sections, to all association?, to
the denomination-to one and to
every Negro Baptist of the state.
Now, show whether or not you
care for your own.
We send this appeal to each pastor
with the hope that he will present
it at once to his church and Snnday
school, and help in .whatever u^ay
he can in this vital and pressing
matter.
The reputation of the Baptists is
at stake. Line up and ask God to
help save the two hundred and
fifty thousand (250,000) Baptists
in this state.
Send all money orders and checks
to Rev. Dr. A, P Dunbar. 1601 1
2 Taylor street. Columbia, S, G.
who will promptly receipt you for
the same and have your name and
organization with the amount con
tributed published in the "Pilot",
which is now our official and de
nominational newspaper.
Yours for the cause, Finance
Comittee of Morris College,
J. J. Durham, Iv. W. Bowen, R.
W. Baylor, A. P. Dunbar, chair
man.

From all sections there is an
almost universal demand for M. M.
