Crawford had e the ordinance of baptism admin istered to 31 conjdidates last Sun r day ftvening by Rev. J. E. Fos ter at the pool in the Southern 5, part of Pickens. It was not outr h privilege, along with lots of 1- others who went, to see the or Le dinance administered, therefore, a we can not discourse on the 1- sacredness and solemnity of this y scene. There was a lot of bung d ling work to contend with. First, the pool was not roped off to keep back the crowd, and sec ond, the crowd of "funny" d folks and "gazers" was the mA largest ever down there, and those who went for 'a pure, christian motive were crowded ve back so that they could not par ie ticipate. Children, and those r. of larger growth, were there who know not what good breed ing is, and at the request to get be back from the pool, only crowded h up the closer. Those on the outer edge tried to behave, but were forced up to the pool iby le some of those in buggies who were too indolent to get out or too anxious to see,and thus used this means to place themselves in position to see. Lots of child dren were present~ who were at s5, the edge of the pool, who were Ly crowding through the crowd to es see, and were laughing and to snickering. as the candidates re were being immersed. One per re son in particular, (and we think ill he calls himself a gentleman) a le young man, placed himself on his knees and became a very in ry terested spectator, laughing at ns the candidates and using his a eyes for all they wvere worth, id especially at the candidates of the female gender. . 'Tis tie a pity that some. of those who le saw his antics did not tip him lie head-foremost over into the pool, at or, better still, lead him to where en he really belonged.
