U. Convention. Mn. KbiTOii: A few quiet, earnest women assembled in the "city by the sea" as the Confederate Veterans'were dispersing, not for the purpose of freshening thc laurels won so gloriously by the Southern soldier during the war of the sixties (most praise-worthy and becoming though that be), but for planning a campaign against a wily enemy now ravaging our fair land-a foe more overwhelming by far than Grant's legions, and a hundred fold more destructive and inhuman than Shermans heartless hordes. I refer to the State Convention of the Woman's ( Miristiau Temperance Union. Among our visitors was Mrs. Frances Beauchamp, of Kentucky, National Secretary of the W. C. T. U. Her charming, womanly manner won the love of all hearts, and her remarks, always bright and to the point, added vastly to the interest of the meeting. Besides, we were glad to welcome Mrs. Webb, of Savannah, representing prison work in the State of Georgia. The reports showed that our organi zation, though far smaller than it ought to be, was accomplishing much of good; and I am sure even- delegate left de termined to use her best endeavors to get recruits to our "white ribbon army." The reports of Miss Murray of work among the negroes, and of Mrs. Carter in charge of literature for the soldiers, were specially enjoyed. The election of officers resulted as follows : President, Mrs. R. X. Roach, of Charleston ; Vice President, Mrs. G. E. Prince, of Anderson ; Recording Sec retary, Miss Nettie Farrow, of Spar tanburg; CorrespondingSecretary, Sirs. A M. Chritzberg, of Sullivan's Island ; Treasurer, Mrs. Dc Gafferelly, of Char leston. On Sunday morning, at Bethel Church, Dr. Bays preached before the Convention a most impressive sermon. He struck at the very root of the mat ter when he begged the young ladies to have the courage to say "No, sir," to any young man who had the temerity to tamper with the wine cup, or who was guilty of any other form of immor ality. But time fails me to speak of Mrs. Beauchamp's telling lectures at the Baptist Mission Church, near Hamp stead Mall, and at the Citadel Square Baptist Church ; of the memorial ser vices in beautiful Magnolia Cemetery at the grave of Mrs. Chapin, for many years our honored President ; of the resolutions of thanks to our own Mr. Jackson for his part in taking from the dispensary bottle our beautiful pal metto tree, etc., etc. The Convention adjourned May loth to meet in Colum bia at the call of the President.
