Paine's Cd Compound Best Sprin In the Wc A large suppl] FOR Si W. E. I AT EDGEFIELD. The B. Y. P. U. Convention and IOs Exercises. The long anticipated Conven tion of the B. Y. P. U. of South Carolina has come and gone, and the Leoplo of EdgefieJd are for the first time understanding what it is to feel that aching void, which nothiug but another convention can ever lill, Our Methodist brethren and sisterhood should repay us in kind by invitiug into our midst the Epworth League, and our Presby terian friends the Christian En deavor Societies of their respec tive churches.. Let them jirove our willingness as Baptists to aid them, as they have so hospitably shown theirs. We must have more conventions. What is a town with out conventions. Edgefield too small? So believe and talk, and without them she will indued grow too 6mall. Bro. Keys of the Bap tist Courier remarked on Sunday afternoon that if the Edgefield people could stand the amount of speechifying they had stood du ring the sessions of the conven tion they need have no fear of straining their holding out capac ity in the future. Let some one present us with another opportu nity to prove this assertion. It migbt be said that the depot was in the possession of the citi zens of Edgefield on Thursday afternoon last, gathered there to greet the crowd of delegates and visitors expected on the incoming train. All were hoping that the coaches would be filled to over flowing, and that Edgefield would be permeated by the exuberance of.spiri., Bweet and gracious, which characterizes the young people composing the body called the B. Y: P. U. convention of South Car olina. And so it has been in part. 1900. See the large and stylish S SHOES which we are re< has advanced, we sell a VANCE-the quality up I of th9 Bay State Factory. We anticipated the with the factory early so best value at lowest prie of us get fall benefit of tl Come and inspect the vinced. BORN 5 Let us, the young . and old peo ple'of Edgefield, be grateful that aa opportunity so delightful has been afforded us to meet and en joy the companionship of so many choice spirits, who are co-workers with us in the 'great harvest field of our own state, and other states. And those who are not co-work ers, whose eyes are blinded by the God of this world, whose cold lethargic- hearts have never melted under the influence of the warm rays of the sun of Righteousness, can they not realize what the great work of this century is to be, the grandest* undertaking since this mundane ophere fell from the hands of the Great ' Architect? WJiat i? this undertaking? 'Tis to conquer .the world for Christ. The first session on Thursday evening was distinguished by one of the most inspiring and brilliant addresses of the convention, the one delivered by Rev. W. B. Oliver of tte church at Florence S. C. This thrilling discourse had as its main idea the exemplification of the necessity for high and lofty ideale in the hearts of the young. The convention was organized with Rev. B. P. Robertson of Gaff ney as President, Prof. W. D, Holland, of the Johnston Institute secretary and A. C. Jones of Bates burg treasurer, Regrets wre ex pressed at the absence of the for mer pr?8ident -of the oonveutior A. T. Jamison of Camden or. ac count of illness, and a telegram was sent to him to that effect. On Friday at 9.30 o'clock the welcome-services were held in the Opera House. Prof. F. N. K g Medicine dd. r Just roce J ved. \LE BY Bailey, President of the Edgefield Union made the first welcome ad dress, and in his frank and sin cere manner of expression made the visitors and delegates feel that they had a warm plaoe in his heart. Dr. Gwaltney who on no occasion uas ever done aught but honor to Edgefield, and the people who love him, gave a unique and interest ing welcome to the guests of the convention, and contrasted their reception .in a somewhat L amorous manner to his own reception in the town of Edgefield in the days of long ago. Prof. C. J. Owens of the Orangeburg college made a suitable response to these ad dresses. Rev. B. P. Robertson followed with an address on Junior work. "How, When, and Why." He gave to our pastor Dr. Gwaltney the ap pellation of the sweet-spirited, lovable man. He has also won for himself the same honor, for during the whole session of the convention he displayed the meek and gentle spirit of the master whom he serves, and like Enoch of old is walking with God. Who better could have- buen selected as president of a young peoples con vention? E. J. Forrester of Green wood also delivered an excellent address on the "young disciple and his future." Friday afternoon the South Car olina Co-educational Institute honored the convention with one of the most delightful concerts to which any gathering has ever lis tened and the hearts of the loyal people of Edgefield should have, and must havs, thrilled with an intensive and peculiar delight, that they have in their midst an Institution which is capable of so high a degree of musical excel lence that it is the means of charming the young people of our state, at once the most appr?cia 1900. SH0ES. Spring line of BAY STATE seivitig. Although leather t former prices-NO AD to the usual high standard rise and placed our order as to give omr patrons the es. Those who buy shoes lis. im for yourself and be con- * j nins. tive and intelligent. The S. C. C. I. band commenced the program, and in the beginning proclaimed the pleasure in store for the au dience. Those most ?competent and capable to judge what musi cal ability really means, were heard to remark, that no better concert has ever been given in the state. Noticeable on the program for peculiar excellence was a pi ano solo by Miss Lillie Sheppard, a duett by Misses Marcie Gwaltney and Maxcie Sheppard, and a vocal solo by Miss Leila Hamilton. The chorus class u^uer the direction of Miss S. S. Bailey rendered some beautiful selections. With reluc tant steps, the audience left the hall to the sweet strains of the band. As the melody of harmo nious sounds reached their ears, hearts were moved at the thought that all this bore a resemblance to the ceaseless melody which will greet the ears at the en trance to the sacred and happy home be yond the pearly gates. The Friday evening services i were missionary in character, and address w^re made by Dr. T. M. . Bailey of Greenville and Dr. J. D. Chapman, late of Savannah now . pastor of the 1st . church at Ander * son. The session of Saturday was said . to be the best of the convention, ? Prof. Holland made an interesting i talk on "how to organize a union." This was followed by an eloquent address by H. S. Erckmann of Charleston, on "How to keep a union going." We were gratified that our Charleston brotherhood bad such a speaker to represent And I have a LANDRETH'S -which are t market Also a Fresh Irish Potatoes. O. SHEP! lEIDGKEITTI! their delegation, and Charleston; Baptists must grow with such ma terial, A. C. Jones of Batesburg also read a paper, shoeing much wisdom and thought, upon the "Pastor's relation to the B. V. P. As the majority of people who j read this resume will he Edgefield people, and John Lake is one of their's, it is not at all necessary; that any comment should be made upon his address, "on interpreta tion of the young people's move ment." He is well known for. what he is, and what he does. The Institute building on Sat urday afternoon was the scene of the reception.given to the conven tion by the people of Edgefield. This was a delightful occasion, giving a pleasant opportunity for all to meet during several hours of pleasant and profitable social in tercourse. Refreshments were gracefully served by committees from the town and Institute, .and sweet music enlivened and made more gay the already happy scene. Saturday evening the social fea ture of the B. Y. P. U. was dis cussed. Prof.' Entzminger, of the. South Carolina Co-Educational Institute, began in a very inter esting manner to present this sub ject, but owing to a sudden, though temporary illness, he waB forced to stop before he had fairly begun. The Edgefield union was especially disappointed that this address could not be finished, as Prof. Entzminger is one of their most zealous workers and would have given to the convention in his usual captivating manner, the benefit of his experience along this line of work. The banner belonging to the convention, which was won last year in Columbia by the Edgefield union for the greatest increase in membership during the preceding year, was this year won ty the Pendleton street union of Green ville, and was presented to Mr J. E. Crim of that union by Miss Efl&e Allen, of -Edgefield, in behalf of tho convention. On Sunday morning the Baptist and Methodist pulpits of Edgefield were filled by Rev A. C. Osborne, of Benedict College, Columbia, and Rev B. P. Robertson, of Gaff ney, respectively. The song service of the closing session of the convention on Sun day evening was conducted by Dr. Reid, of Charleston,kafter which the congregation was invited to join in answering the following] questions : "What have I learned since coming to the convention," and "What do I resolve to do when I get home." These queries were answered and talked over by Dr T. M. Bailey, Rev P. P. Blalock, John Lake, J. L. Mims, Arthur Bran son, John Towill, of Batesburg, and others. The farewell service, though sad, was sweet, and as Dr. Gwaltney said, was full of hope for the future. Many delegates and visitors made expressions of pleasure at the kindness and hos pitality' of the Edgefield people. May they ever think of Edgefield with pleasant memories, and be glad to return to us again on an other such mission. The convention was adjourned, and Dr Osborne was invited to pronounce the benediction. Char leston was selected by the com mittee on time and place after much pleasant rivalry and close oompetion with Gaffney, as the place for the next convention. 1 \% acres of land in town sf Edge field, West End, on Jeter Street.

The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist. Elo Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in thia -country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble ls allowed to ad vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
