T. T. Hyde, as President. Crnmii-llln 15 Will, llio election of Maj. T. T. Hyde of Charleston for president, the Baptist convention adjourned its present annual session last night at 10:15 o'clock. The election of officers came as the last important matter for the consideration of the convention, and as usual there was a great deal of interest shown by the delegates who were present. The day had been given to the consideration of Aged Ministers' Relief work, the ophanage, social welfa ra anrl nu Itl in niAra la nml hn Uan. tist hospital. The reports were all very gratifying. The chief point of interest came when retiring President I)r. Z. T. Cody announced the nominations were in order for president of the convention. Maj. T. T. Hyde of Charleston, Col. F. N. K. Bailey of Greenwood, and Mr. C. B. Babb of Laurens, were placed in nomination. Maj. Hyde received a majority of the votes cast on the first ballot. Col. Bailey and Mr. Babb were then elected vice presidents of the convention. The other officers elected were as follows: Secretary, Dr. C. A. Jones; assistant secretary, Rev. E. S. Reaves U/vn r. , wl 1 f , . r. 1LT m Tama.. A Ul iiuuca x atii , auuiiui , xvii o a uico n. Hoyt of Columbia; treasurer, Mr. C. B. Babb of Laurens; statistical secretary, Rev. W. P. Wllkins of Greenville. The convention was considered to have been very good indeed. Many things of vital interest to the denomination were discussed, and while some of the constructive measures failed to meet with the approval of the convention enough was accom^ pllshed to give new inspiration for sales fund, which has been used for for the last seven years exclusively for the prevention and treatment of C01 tuberculosis in the United States, be expended this year to aid the Euro- thi pean war sufferers. While the Red Cross is desirous of securing contributions which will increase this war Fr relief fund, we do not feel justified iU( in adopting any policy which will tend to cripple the tuberculosis work ? in this country, dependent as it is for (lei support to so large an extent on the tin sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. ab The announcement that a percentage of the Red Cross seal money would go to our war relief fund might pos-i ('? sfbly increase the sale; but, in our j in( opinion, the final results would show I faj a distinct loss in that part of the pro-|on( ceeds going for tuberculosis work. j "At the present time there are over 1,200 anti-tuberculosis societies distributed through nearly every state in the Union and even in Porto . Rico, the Canal zone and far off 11 Hawaii, which are dependent almost ma entirely upon the receipts from the ine Red Cross seal sale for their work ha during the year 1016. The people of the United States must support this ' local war against tuberculosis, which annually kills 200,000 people and at coi the present time is leaving a trail of ! a million wnunriprl " SU1 CLERK'S SALE. an STATIC OF SOUTH CAROLINA. ,1,, County of Lancaster.
