The session was filled with business and was fol lowed by the final business session, preceding which the club women of the city served an elegant luncheon to the visiting women in the high school building, where the sessions of the conference have been held. Two important items of business received consideration at the session. The '*wear cotton" movement was indorsed and it was decided to estab lish an industrial school for moun tain girls. The mountain school was discussed at unirfh ?nd the details of financing it were entered into and local chap ters pledged to aid in carrying for ward the work. The work of estab lishing the school, according to the action taken, was placed in charge of the state executive committee, the state officers, three members at large and the patriotic and educational com mittee of the state organization. These will compose a committee to plan the establishment of the school and direct the work. Girls Sell Tomatoes. Marion.?The tomato club girls of this county are offering for sale their products. This is the first year that the work has been conducted in Mar ion county, and notwithstanding that it was started late a creditable show ing was made at the state fair and some of the girls have realized neat little sums of money from their ef forts. Arrangements are made to add he poultry work for next year. | Oregon Hotel Opens. Greenwood.?The Oregon hotel op ened with an informal reception ten dered the citizens of Greenwood by Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brinson. Over 1,000 p'ersons availed themselves of the opportunity to visit the handsome n?w hotel. Some 50 guests were reg istered for the first night. Breakfast was the first meal served in the new hotel. Everybody who called seemed charmed with the arrangement and furnishings of the hotel.

Columbia.?The governor refused to attend a meeting of the state's fin ancial board, when the question of borrowing $150,000 for the current ex jenses of the state government was considered. S. T. Carter, state treas urer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller general, attended the meeting. The board decided to ask the banks of the state for bids on the loan.

QUESTIONS FOR CONFERENCE Dr. Kllgo Talks of Some of the Meth odist Problems to Be Taken Up At Sumter. Columbia.?The annual meeting of the Somth Carolina conference, Meth odist Episcopal church, South, will convene in Sumter, November 25, with Bishop Collins Denny of Tennesse presiding. It Is expected that Bishop Wilson will be present during the conference to represent the cause of church extension work. All the Meth odist churches throughout the state are now actively engaged in closing up the work of the year. Each district will elect four lay men as members of the conference. The Columbia district has chosen J. L. Quinby of Graniteville, I. N. Eubanks of Aiken, D. H. Ellis of Columbia and J. L. Smith of Johnston as its repre sentatives. J, Fuller Lyon, C. D. Stan ley, F. H. Hyatt and W. J. Murray, all of Columbia, will attend the meet i n nrr, twVllr?V? fllOV flfA LUgO \Jk kJXJCLX UO U1 T> w vj v members during the conference. Sum ter will entertain fully 400 Method ist ministers and laymen while the conference is in session. The Rev. J. W. Kilgo, D. D., presid ing elder of Columbia district, outlin ed some of the work before the confer ence as follows "Several questions are before this session that will make it of intense interest to the church throughout the state. Of course that of prime importance to the individual church is the appointment of its pastor. Many will receive new pastors, many more expect no change of pastors. That which provokes more anxious thought than any other questions that* will come before the conference con cerns the division of the body. Though a majority of those voting ror di vision was given a year ago, yet the affirmation was not a majority of the conference. It is generally under stood that the laymen as a rule are opposed to dividing. These facts ren der it very doubtful that the confer ence will be divided. Yet the ques tion must be decided in Sumter. "Another matter of concern regards the church organ, The Southern Christian Advocate. The Rev. S. A. Netles, who has edited and publish ed the paper for nine years, has re signed both as editor and as pub lisher. Those who opposed the pres ent plan of bringing out the paper necessitating a change will no doubt have a better plan to suggest. Any way the church will expect them to do. so. To repeat, it is a matter of great importance to the church." Many Baptists in This State. Charleston.?The Baptist state con vention, which will meet in annual session in the Citadel Square Baptist church in this city on December 8, represents the largest religious de nominations in South Carolina.

I know a bright, well-trained young lady, whose Intimate friends, and even her near relative^, have to be continu ally on the watch for fear of wound ing her. She broods over a joking re mark until she magnifies it into an in sult. She makes herself miserable for days over a fancied slight and ex hausts the patience of her friends by asking them to explain what they meant by certain expressions, looks or gestures. People who are at first at tracted by her many amiable quali ties soon fall away from her because of the exactions imposed by her over sensitiveness. Over-sensitiveness is really an ex aggerated form of self-consciousness. It is far removed from conceit or self-, esteem, yet it. causes one's own per sonality to overshadow everything else. A sensitive person feels that, whatever she does, wherever slle goes or whatever she says, she is the center of conversation. She imagines that people are criticizing her movements, making fun at her expense or analyz ing her character, when they are probably not thinking of her at all. She does not realize that other people are too busy and too much Interested In themselves and in other things to devote to her any of their time beyond what is absolutely necessary. When she thinks they are making remarks about her, putting slights upon her, or trying to hold her up to the ridi cule of others, they may not even be conscious of her presence. Thousands of young women are held back from undertaking what they long to do, and are kept from trying to make real their life-dreams, because thev are afraid to loetle with the world. They shrink from ex posing their sore and sensitive spots, which smart from the slightest touch. Their supersensitivenesB makes cow ards of them. The great majority of people, no matter how rough in manner or bear ing, are kind-hearted, and would much rather help than hinder fellow beings; besides, they have all they can do to attend to their own affairs, and have no time to spend in min utely analyzing the nature and feel ings of those whom they meet in the course of their daily business. In the busy world of affairs it is give and take, touch and go, and those who expect to get on must rid them raW An /\# nil vm oanofHtran ACfl DC!? CD VI an ui^l Uiu OCUOIUTCUUDD. If they do not, they* doom themselves to unhapplneBs and failure. A college course is of inestimable value to a girl of over-refined sensi bilities. Oftentimes when girls enter college, they are so touchy that their sense of honor is constantly being hurt and their pride stung by the unconscious thrusts of classmates and companions. But after they have been in college a term, and have been rubbing up against other girls, they realize that it would be the most foolish thing in the world to betray resentment. I! one showB that she is hurt, she knows she will be un popular and will often be laughed at. She is simply forced to drop the foolish weakness. Girls who are mor bidly sensitive on entering college, often come out at the end of their four years' course with their exces sive irritability cured by repeated doses of common sense. There are many, however, who must go through life without going through college; and if these are troubled with sensitiveness, they must be their own healers. They must learn that real nobility and courage and effectiveness as a world-worker, as well as per sonal happiness and success, are im possible to one who is crippled by a supersensitive nature. "What shall I do to get rid of it?" a girl a6ks. Think 'less of yourself and more of others. Mingle freely with the people. Become interested in things outside of yourself. Do not brood over what is said to you or analyze every Bimple remark until you magnify it into something of the greatest importance. Do not have Euch a low and unjust estimate of people as to think they are bent on nothing but hurting the feelings of others, and deprecating and making light of them on every possible occa sion. A girl who appreciates herself at her true value, and who gives her neighbors credit for being at least as good as Bhe is, will not be the victim of oversensitiveness. HOW TO GET THE BOY'S CONFI DENCE. Not long ago a boy was arrested in New York and tried in the chil dren's court. The first thing he said to the officer was: "Don't tell Mr. Watkins." Mr. Watklns is a man who had taken a special interest in this boy from the slums and was try ing to help him. He would often call ? ?> , at tne Doy b uuuue auu mm out for a good time, or take him with him to his home. While in court the fear that Mr. Watkina would find him out seemed to trouble the boy moBt. He did not seem to care much that his parents knew of his arrest, because he had been scold ed and nagged Dy tnem until ne uau become calloused. He knew that Mr. Uses Sand to Clean Bottles. A Swiss inventor makes use of sand and water to clean bottles in which there has been a deposit and which defy the ordinary brush to reach. Such bottleB are often dis carded because of the impossibility of removing this matter. The new in vention is supplied with the shape of a rather large metal basin with a middle upright tube. Sand is put in the basin and a hose connects with the water supply. A simple arrange ment allows of projecting sand and Watklns believed In him, saw some thing in him which even his parents did not see, and he could not bear the thought that t?e man who had trusted him and believed in him should think that he had gone wrong. When you have obtained a boy's confidence and affection, when he feels that you have a real interest in him, and that you believe that there is something in him, you have a tremen dous hold upon him. The head of a Chicago business house has a large number of boye under him. For years he has felt a kindly interest in these boys, taking particular painB to notice them, tc watch their work, to praise them when thdv Hn well tn correct them gently when they fail, and to mani j fest In general a kindly interest in their affairs. He says the results have been marvelous and that the boys have shown wonderful develop ment under the influence of his ap preciation and praise. This man told me that he corrects the habits of his boys without theii realizing the influence he brings tc bear on them. He enters their sports plays ball with them, and by his ex ample makes them feel ashamed o) doing things that are unbecoming tc gentlemen. Children are especially susceptible to praise. A boy will work harder tc get the appreciation of those whc trust him and believe in him than foi almost anything else. Nothing ex cept blame will so dampen his en thusiasm as the lack of recognition of good work or failure to appreciate his attempts to please. I know a mother who reared hei children upon the plan of praise. She never missed an opportunity to com mend them for doing well, or to show appreciation of their efforts to dc right. This, Bhe says, has had in finitely more influence for good than perpetual scoldings. "Don'ts" harm discourage and dwarf more children than almost anything else. Many a child has been nagged bullied, scolded, for every little fault or mistaxe, unui it ueuamw uiowm aged, when a little timely praise and commendation would have worked wonders in getting the best out of it Highly organized, sensitive children have often been Beriously injured, 01 their characters even ruined, by th? harsh methods of those who do nol understand the child nature and whc scold and nag and bully them intc obedience. Such children become buI len, obstinate and irresponsible. The greatest thing in the rearing and education of a child 1b to de velop ljis natural, normal self-ex pression. The youthful mind long* for activity; the pent-up forces with in are struggling to express them selves; but if spontaneity is repeat edly crushed out, if the child's expres slon is constantly repressed wltl "don't do this" and "don't do that,' the ambition may be ruined, the pow er of self-expressioq lost, so that the best in the child may never be devel oped. When a child does not show en thuslasm in study, in work, there i< something wrong, for enthusiasm ant bubbling buoyancy are as natural t( child life as song to the bobolink. Spontaneity is absolutely neces cary to originality?yet the buoyancy the enthusiasm, of many a youth L absolutely crushed before majority ii reached, because of constant reprea sion. The chief duty of the father Is n(fl only to feed and clothe his son ant get all possible work out of him un til he is twenty-one, but he is bounc to watch with tender care the menta unfoldlngs, the aspirations, the ben planted by the Creator himself in th< breast of the child. It is a great mis fortune that so many parents feel ai ownership in a child. They look upoi him as a sort of chattel Instead of i sacred gift, which they have receive< in trust, for which they asBumd re Bponslbility, and enter into an lmpliec agreement to care for mind as well ai body; to guard, guide and rear witt the tenderest care and greatest solid tude. It is a father's duty not to try t< bend the human sprout to suit hit notions, but to watch the tendency o the child; to encourage, not stifle, hit natural bent \ Every father should regard th< child as a sacred trust, bringing witt him into the world a sealed message which he is bound to deliver like i ? ? -?J - Vowi TV.ln oonlpH mpasact within him is sacred; it is not evet for the father to read.

The perversity of human nature wil assert itself even with the best reg ulated disposition. When we shoulc work, we want to rest, and when w? are enforced to rest, then work i: craved.

Drove Back British Raiders. i One hundred years ago one of the marauding parties of British that con-, tinued making depredations along the shores of Chesapeake bay after the departure of the British fleet for the South, landed at Deep creek, 15 miles below ^nnapolis, with a view to hav ing "a frolic with the Yankees," as one of their officers expressed it. But the "Yankees" were on the watch and gave the invaders a warmer reception than they had bargained for.
