" 1 following* -extracts from the book of tii<*hch A were read: e ladies of Gface church chapel at $oykin, S. C., met at the home of Mr*. L. W. Boykin, November 18th, 1894, for the purpose of forming a branch of the Woman's Auxiliary. The meeting was opened with prayer by our beloved rector, the Rev. J, M. Stoney. Nineteen members Joined and - Mrs. B. H. Boykin was elected president." For .sixteen years she was the aJ>le presiding officer of this band of devout women. Mrs. J. M. Gantey was elected secretary and treasurer, a position she filled Until she entered into life eternal in 1905. Her daughter, Mrs. L. W. Boykin, [ succeeded her and served faithfully and efficiently until her death hi 1913. I The history of this branch shows the devotion and leadership of these early officers* ft>r their children follow in their footsteps, as the following roster of presidents show: Mrs. J. Willis Gantey, Miss May Boykin, Miss Sarah Boykin, Mrs. Bolivar Boykin, Miss Lisa Bovkin, It matters not how their numbers may change, due to removals from the neighborhood, a perusal of the minute books show Branch A accom plishing its share of the ehurch's work with zeal and devotion." From Branch B the following was handed in by a member of the Aux iliary: "Branch B of Woman's Aux iliary was organized in 1900 with about thirty members. Our first president, our beloved Mrs. Bruce Davis, served until declining years made her yield that office to younger members 6f the organisation. .Mrs. A. I). Kennedy, Sr., has been ourable treasurer throughout our entire* ex istence and but for her loyalty, we should often have fallen below the standard set for ufc T>y Mrs. Davis. Under the present direction of Mrs. W. B. deLoach, we have anincreased membership of about forty and with .the, reorganization of the Auxfliary into districts, shows a renewed inter est and growth in spiritual matters." Just here, we wish to express a word of .thanks, to The Chronicle from the Woman's.Auxiliary for its con sideration of Us each Week and for the space so graciously given us. SOUTH CAROLINA FIRST Facta That Should Be Abaorbed By All School Children. In the early history of the United State*, South Carolina w?s a leadty\ and many intereatiog .facts in yiU connection aro to be found in a paper read by Mrs. J. W, Peak a.t a recent meeting of the Edgefield Daughters of the American devolution. In her paper Mrs. l'eak inserts an article compiled by Mr*. Louis Ayer Van diver, citing instances where South Carolina led all of the other states. Thru1' facts should be read by the children of the public schools. It is "ancient history, to be sure* but the kind that any Carolinian should be proud of. A great deal of it is com posed of facts that the average man or womfen knows nothing about, much lqta the child. Here are some of the things narrated in which the old Pal metto state led. The first public library in America was established in Charleston in 1698. The first free school in the south and one of the earliest in the country was founded in Charleston in 1719. The first negro school in America perhaps in the world, was founded in Charleston. The first musical society in Ameri ca was the St. Cecelia in Charleston,] founded in 1762. The first song re cital .of which there is any record was in Charleston in 1663. The first instance of cremation of the ' dead in America was that of Henry Lournes, who left instruction in his will that such disposition should be made of his remains. Charleston had a museum of natur al history as early as 1777. The first manual labor school es tablished in ^America was in South Carolina. In 1776 Dr. John De La Howe of Abbeville, left the bulk c?.j his property for the establishment of ap agricultural school to accommo date 24' pupils, 12 bjoys and 12 girls. The first newspaper in America to be established by a woman was the South Carolina Gazette, published in Charleston in 1774 by Mrs. Elizabeth iTimothy. ? The fir.st paper in the up-country, at. Pendleton, was published in 1785. South Carolina had a cotton manu factory for making homespun cloth run toy water power several years be fore 1700?the first in the south, at least. The first native American to re ceive the degree of doctor of medicina, was Dr. William Bull, of Charlestort/I who graduated in 1734. The first inoculation in this country for smallpox whs in Charleston in 1738. Rice was grown in South Carolina before 1071, years earlier than the date usually assigned to its introduc tion. <ln 1 0(N?, as we read in McQrady'a History of South Carolina, Joseph Croskeys was a commissioner of a parochial and public library, which was ojne of the first in the Colonic*. The first Bible society in America was organized in Charleston in 1810. South Carolina was the first stato in the Union to plant sea island or long staple' cotton introduced from the Barbados* in 1770. Indigo was first grown in America by a young girl in Charleston, many years before the Revolutionary war. The girl was Eliaa Lucas, afterwards the wife q^f Chief Justice Pinckney and moth-t of Charlea Cotesworth Pinckney. The first publication in America for small children was The Rosebud edit ed by Mrs. Carolina Oilman of Charleston in 1832. The first edifice in America built for the sole use of a library was that of the University of South Carolina, which contains some very rare and valuable books, having escaped Sher man's march because this, as well as other buildings of the university, was used during the last days of the war as a hospital. The first steam railway to operate in America for both passengors and freight, was built in 1837, by the South Carolina company, extending from Charleston to Hamburg. The first national Thanksgiving day in America was appointed Tby Henry Laurens when he was president of the Continental Congress, upon hearing of Burgoyne's surrender. William Gilmore Simms of South Carolina was the first southerner to make literature a professional busi ness. South Carolina is the first, perhaps the only state, to erect a statue to an Indian. The turret in the opera house in Camden is surmounted by a gilded iron statue of King Haigler. Fort Mill, S. C., boasts the first probably the only monument in America to the slaves of the old south. South Carolina is the first state in the Union to commemorate by a monument the virtue, courage and patriotism of her women. The mon ument stands on the grounds of the s&tfe'4apital in Columbia. The first response to the appeal of the surgeon general of. the Confed erate states for funds came from tho Jewish women of Charleston; . Tho first wayside hospital during the War Between.tho St4tes was or ganited by the women of Columbia to meet the needs of wounded soldier* passing on train*. <*; ; . It w** through the effort of Ann Partial* Cunningham Qf'Sbtith Caro lina that the Mt. verhon association was formed to preserve Washington's home at Ml. Vernon as the national memorial, and a rfation^wide move ment organized to carry the plan to completion. Wedding at Lancaster. In a ceremony characterized by charm, beauty and elegance, Miss Mary Heath Jones an<J fllr. Luther Thompson Hartsell, Jr., the latter of Concord, N. C., were wedded Wednes. day evening at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, tyh\ and Mrs. Charles DePass Jones, in Lancaster. Rev. J. C. Rowan, Presbyterian minister of Concord, N. C<, officiated, and was assisted by Rev. W. S. Pat terson, of l4\ncaster. The wedding music was played by Tal Henry's orchestra of Charlotte.? Lancaster News. LeRoy Brantley, throe-year-old son of Mrs. Kato Brantley, was drowned in the Congaree river early last Thursday near Columbia. Left at home with a fourteen year old cousin while his mother was at work in a cotton mill, the child followed a gar bage collectoV from the home and slipped into the river without being seen. He was swept down stream for 400 yards and there several negroes pulled him to tho shore, but he was practically dead at the time. Beautiful Display of Millinery. Miss Gerald's Millinery parlors certainly present an attractive ap pearance these bright November day,s and one ' has a linger-long feeling when they enter and reluctance to de part.
