Extract from report of the Bap- fer<
list Press of the proceedings of to
State Convention held in Spar- leci
tanburg last week: eitl
The organization beiug perfect- Per
ed, the conference proceeded ^
with the discussion of the two con
subjects set for the night session. a'8<
The first of these was a "statis- 1
tical study of denominational reP
growthin twenty fiveyears." The Jllu'
time embraced was between the
years 1880 and 1905. The speak- biti
er, Rev. J. I). Huggins, gave Pre
many interesting figures concern- dis<
ing the growth of our denomi- Pre
nation in the various parts of the 1
State, by different comparisons 'be
and then a summing up of all. "ie
Among the figures given, occur not
these : In the year 1880 there
were 55,183 Baptists in the State; 0
in 1890, SO,197; in 1900, 97.035; lcat
in 1905, 110,029, and it is esti- and
mated that there are now over ln r
112,000. A comparison of the ^le
State's population at these pe- to 1
riods might be pertinent just
here: I*1 1880 the total popula
tion of the Slate was 995,577 ; in ma
1890, 1,151,149; in 1900, 1,340,. eac
316. In the year 1905 there was mo
one Baptist to every 12 V persons f?r
in the State, or an increase ot me
70 percent of the total popula ve?
tion and 100 per cent increase in
the Baptist members over the Do
figures ol 1880 These figures include
colored as well as white ^
population while the denomina- j
tioual figures count only the L._.
" llVt
white Baptists. There is one a
Baptist to every 6 1-7 white je,r(
person iu the upper part ot the ^
State, and one to every 8 1 3 in {^, t
lower South Carolina.
During the past year there so|)
has been 5,718 additions to the {,
Baptist denomination. At pres- m
ent there are 145 pastors in the
State. Mr. Hoggins stated that n
the increase in number of the rj
pastors had not been proportion ^re
ate with the increase ot numbers e
in the denomination. He urged 'j
that we pray the Lord of the
harvest to send laborers into the
field. one
The second paper was read by anc
Rev. W. T. Tate, of Belton. Ilis has
subject was "statistics on the 00C
ancial growth ot the denom- \s v
" "and ''are we keeping tor
spirituality with our pro coll
ther lines." Mr. Tate, \
