Greenwood, December 6:?The 91st session of the State Baptist ^ Convention met at the First Baptist Church of Greenwood Tuesday evening of last week, W H Hunt of Newberry presiding. The address of welcome was made ^ by Rev W N Cordon, the pastor,who was followed by Mayor Baker who officially welcomed the Convention to Greenwood. On behalf of the other denominations, the Rev J B Green, pastor of the Presbyterian church, then wel ? ry j corned tJie uonvenuon u> urwnwiwu. Mr Green is one of the most interesting and entertaining speakers in Greenwood and, despite the fact that he had a "crippled throat," he delivered an excellent address of welcome, full of happy hits and yet full of Christian sympathy. These addresses of welcome were responded to by Dr D M Ramsay, president of the Greenville Female college. Dr Ramsay is always an eloquent speaker and was equal to the occasion. - ^ President Hunt then notified the C^vention that its first business was of electing officers. Dr C C Brown moved that the vote of the Convention be cast by Mr G B Buell, of Charleston, for Hon W H Hunt of Newberry as president. This was done. Mr Hunt expressed his appreciation of the high honor conferred upon him by re-electing him to preside over the Convention of representatives of the 140,000 Baptists of .South Carolina. He assured all the representatives that he meant to be absolutely fair and impartial but that he must adhere to the order of business as prepared for the Convention and hoped that no one would feel that he had been discriminated against. The Hon Orlando Sheppard was next elected first vice president and Dr F P Covington of Florence, second vice president. The Rev C A Jones was elected secretary, the Rev A B Kennedy of Columbia was elected assistant secretary, Mr C C Bobo of Laurens was elected treasurer, and Mr B E Geer of Greenville was elected auditor. The last four * were re-elections. These and the other officers were all elected by having some member of the Convention cast the unanimous vote of the ' Convention for the officer named. The report of the committee on of business was then called for and was presented by the Rev E S Cleaves of Honea Path. After the reading of the report there was some discussion as to changes, moving up the time for the consideration of foreign missions and having the reports on the two female colleges, Greenville Female eollege and Anderson, earlier, but upon consideration this was not dent exactly as at first proposed.

Abbeville Next Year. Greenwood, December 7:?The next South Carolina Baptist State Convention will meet with the Abbeville ehureh, Abbeville, the Rev Louia J Bristow. pastor. The fact that the Convention goes to a point only about twenty milea from ita present meeting place for ita next session is unusual, but Mr Bristow i nno ft# hand nu JUSV CUluy>cK.u viiv V> ...? bo meat churches in the State and the Contention wants to see it and also enjoy Abbetille's hospitality. The Contention is nearing its close, as this report of the committee on time and place, made this afternoon by G B Buell, chairman, would indicate: The Ret Philip J McLean of Aikan was selected to preach the Contention sermon next year, with the Ret J S Dill of Gaffnev as alternate.

Our min-1 ( inter, Rev Mr Bowden, leaves for his r,ew work in Florence district and j his successor, Rev W 0 Henderson, \ vrill soon arrive. We hope our people { srill receive the new pastor with j open hearts and pocket-books and work together for theeaueeof religion ) on this charge. It takes both pastor j and people (o work together for the j spiritual upbuilding of a community, j Young Mr Henderson comes highly i recommended as a spiritual worker. ] Last Friday was examination day i at the Andrews High school. The i girls and boys were working very i hard to meet their examinations sue- i eeaBfully. We think these monthly examinations and placing those who i are deserving on the honor roll a I fine idea for advancing educational j interests. Mr H C Ritter, though a young man, has proved himself a | worthy teacher both in the school room and the churches. This young man has worked but the practical theery in this school, which is proving a growing success, for which he and our wide-awake trustees should have much praise. Mr Odom.of the Salters section, is moving into our town, having leased the farm of Mr D W Avant. Mr Odom comes recommended as one of the best farmers of the county. We need hundreds of such men in our town and community. Good farmers are what will build up our town. We have the resources to offer for the right kind of settlers. At a mass meeting :jf our town about two years ago Superintendent Andrews, of the G & W railroad,said he expected to make our town, if he lived, the banner town of Eastern Smith r.arnlina. and he is not leaving j a stone unturned to fulfill his promise. If our people will give him and the town officials full co-operation, Andrews will come to the front.
