Dr. Jennings Much Inproved ' The union meeting of the, 3rd di vision of the Edgefleld association, convened agreeably to appointment yesterday and day before. The churches were all represented except Plum Branch, and the attendance ' was good under 'the circumstances. The discussion bf the subjects was above the average. All the appointed speakers were not present, but Rev. Abiah Bussy, from Georgia, was with us, and made some most excel lent addresses. Mr. Bussey is a son of the Rev; G. W. Bussey, and a strong preacher/ We had with us three Revs. Bussey, G. W., Abiah and P. H., and Rev.'T. H. Garrett, besides some strong laymen who en tered heartily into the discussions. The subject that possibly elicited the most general interest -was "Sun day visiting." Bro. Jesse Prince ?aid, one Sunday visitor was so im pressed with the Ugliness of his past conduct after hearing its sinfulness discussed he fainted in his pew. Sunday morning a .great crowd gathered, and Sunday school exer cises were conducted by superintend ent Agner. Bro. P. H. Bussey lec turing on th? lesson and*"at eleven o'clock instead of the missionary sermon by Bro. White, the ordinav tion sermon of young P. H. Bussey was preached by his first cousin, RevT Abiah Bussey. This sermon is said to have been a great one. In the afternoon, a council was formed, young Bussey was examin ed by his uncle Rev. G. W. Bussey. Young Bro. Bussey told his experi ence and of his call to the ministry Bro White o??ered the prayer, and the Rev. T. H. Garrett delivered the Bible and charge. The exercises were impressi ve, and thus a noble young man was set apart to the gos pel ministry. May God bless him 1 and make him"abundantly useful. . Our protracted meeting com menced last night,? Bro. Garrett preaching a great sermon from the words: -I looked to my right and to my left baud and co one cared for my soul." Bro. Garrett will do all thc preaching himself holding one ser ' vice in the morning and one al night and we hope for good re . suits. The Sunday school conventior which met at Red Hill was con sidered a graat meeting by ou Parksville delegation. The speakin? was good, the attendance large an< the hospitality of Red Hill up t< the standard, which is proverbial Some even wished that the conven tion would meet at Red Hill annual ly. : Geo.

It is only a miracle that anyo was saved. This is the third fourth time this tressle has be fired by some murderous revengef scamp and is righi in the neigh bc hood of Bill Broadwater. Whe COUNTY CAMPAIGN (Continued from page l) own the higher m institutions of earning, as they are doing a good rork, hut favors giving more to he common schools. He says a >upil in thc rural school only re lives ?10 per year while the aver ige spent on the college students is 5400 each. Free scholarships and 'ree tuition are intended for poor aoys bul? frequently rich men's sons ?et the benefit of them. Mr., Wells is an ardent advocate of good roods, but Rays we can not have better roads without raising more money. He favors levy upon all property for. road improvement and wants to abolish the commutation tax, which is paid by the country. He wants the people of the towns to, hear their share of road tax as they are bene fitted by road improvement. He stated that he introduced a bill pro viding a i mill levy for road build ing. Mr.. Wells favors refunding the state debt at a lower rate of inter est which would effect a considera ble saving to the tax payers. He next spoke of the cotton weigher's bill which he passed; also of the cotton tare bill, which it is estima ted will save $2,000,000'to the far mers of South Carolina each year. Mr. Wells concluded by stating that on the liquor question he is a local optionist, having voted that way in the legislature, and will vote that way again if elected. Mr. Jerome H. Courtney said close attention to his duties, had kept him at home and that be was not generally known, but that he was not afraid for his character to be searched into. He said* the peo ple need in the legislature men ?whose needs areadentical with their needs. He has lived in the country all his life and has taught in country schools for four years, therefore he is familiar with the needs of the country schools. He stated that the towns are provided for in that they have corporations to tax while we only have land iii the country. Mr. Courtney stated that while'Tanners contributed $220,960 to the support of Clemson last year they only fur nish 56 per cerjft pf the students. Winthrop should be more liberally supported. The future of our coun try depends upon the women who stay in our homes, lie said lie was not opposed to tire colleges but wants to see the country schools supported better. Mr. Courtney wishes to ^see the roads improved and advocates work ing the convicts upon the roads in stead ot upon the state farms? Times have changed. Farmers are now business men and are demanding bet ter roads and better schools. Favors liberal support for , Confederate veterans. Mr. Courtney would like to see reforms in our courts so as to curtail expenses. Too many cases are continued from time to time. He favors four-year terms for oran ty officials. \ Concerning the whiskey question, Mr. Courtney stated that be was grounded in prohibition principles by a Godly mother and father and Stillstands by their teaching. He said he would not promise to turo the capitol upside down'but promises / to do his^very best for the people. For Congress. The'first candidate for congress to speak was Hon. C. W. Garrie from Bamberg county. He has rep resented his county in tho legisla ture several terms and- brierly re viewed his record. He favors tarif! for revenue only, but is in favor oi taking tax off of cotton only wherj duty is taken off of farming imple ments. He opposes the heavy ex penditures for array and * navy and favors larger appropriations foi improvement of rural conditions. He says if it is constitutional t( build post offices, it is also const itu tional to build post roads. Englanc spends'14 times as much as Ameri ca on heir ?rabil? roads, consequent ly hauling only costs eight cents pe ton per mile whereas in this conn tn it costs from 23 to 50 cents. Mr Garris believes that we should bo ? united people. He said we shoulc join with other congressmen in se curing the passage . of legislatioi that will b? beneficiaT to them an< then they will aid us when WJ nee< their support. Hon. J. F. Byrnes of Aiken also candidate for Congress was th last speaker.. He spoke of his s weer, ing victory for solicitor of his eil cuit two years ago. Out of a tota vote of 8,500 in the circuit, he rc ceived 5,000. In Aiken county h received 2.790 votes out of a tota vote of 3,(300. He also stands by th Democratic principle of a tariff fo revenue only. He is riot in favor o protecting the cotton mills but doe favor protecting the agricultura interests. Corporations secure legi; lation but no lobbying is ever don in Washington, to promote the fa: mer's interests. He says the goven ment spends millions upon million to erect beautiful buildings, whei some of the money should be spen upon the public, roads. If the go\ eminent will make an appropriator the state and county will cover th amount. Mr. Byrnes favors irani gration of a good class, but oppose the coming of undesirable foreign ers to compete with our labor. Gov ernment should stop building exper sive war ships that will soon be de murderer* are turned loose upon vt we may expect a repetition of sue dastardly deeds. More Anon. jyed by explosives from modern rsbips. Hon. J. O. Patterson, candidate r re-election to congress was not esent. Judge J. D.~ Allen,, our very f ai th d present and future judge of pro ite, was absent. Mr. J. R. Timmcrman, the popu ,r and very efficient county auditor, as present but was not called upon >r a speech.

A barbecue and picnic dinner was ?rved at the noon hour. The ladies ery graciously furnished their bas ets free and the hash which was ooked and seasoned to the king's aste was paid for by voluntary, con ribution. There was an abundance f the delightful dinner for all pres ht, much being left in fact after all iad finished. The ladies sold ice drinks and ice ream ip order to raise money with vblch to paint the school build:ng. They netted the handsome .sum of 529.30. Hurrah for the good women >f Long Branch. Account of Union Meeting Held at Rehoboth. We noticed some weeks ago ivh'ere More Anon" anxiously in juired about "Subscriber." Nobodj jeemed inclined to tell, but I feel like "More Anon's" interest is too sacred not to inform him. "Sub-, ?criber" has been suffering some weeks with a broken toe-he is do ing nicely now and feels, he says, that brr ken toes are better than torn ribs Now please account this against him being such a de linquent, won't you? And tell his girl to have more pity. The union meeting convened with Rehoboth church last Saturday and Sunday. We hardly feel capable of giving full details of the services, but know-that the queries weremore ably discussed than heretofore, there was more interest seemingly among the general congregation than ever noticed. We had with us on Sat urday Capt, P. P. Burns from Edge fiekl, he took such an interest and discussed beautifully. Mr. C. M. Mellichamp also , gave us several excellent addresses. We felt prouder, of our consecrated mod erator than ever before. He gave a splendid address on Woman's Mis sionary work, an? gave such a f-ensible encouraging talk. We glad ly boasted of his leaving flattery out, but took the historical and aid ing views of this work. Saturday was intensely interesting. Sunday, this was all in all a precious day. Early Sunday morning people came from every direction and by 10:30 the church was entirely filled. Rev. Lanham preached to the crowded church and Rev. Littlejohn stood on the dinner table and preached to fully 400 people. There were at least 900 ^people there. .We had dinner enough, and know that every body had a very enjoyable day. The next meeting will go to Horn's Creek. There are several visitors in thc community. Miss Louise Lipscomt at the home of Mrs. C. Strom, Miss Ruth Ouzts with Miss Marths i Strom, Mrs. R. W.

Timmons. ; ?l " ar?tist Sunday School Conven-! t?on at Red Hill. Wednesday and Thursday last ie annual meeting of the Edgefield ounty Baptist Sunday school con ention was held at Red Hill, one F the. leading churches in the aunty. Force of circumstances enied us the privilege of attend lg on Wednesday, but we spent n exceedingly pleasant and profita le day at Red Hill Thursday. The officers of the convention rere, Mr. W. D. Holland, presi ent; Coi. S. B. Mays, vice-presi ent; Mr. W. E. Lott, secretary and reaeurer. The field secretaries ap ?ointed to serve for the ensuing rear were, J. L. Mims, 1st division; lohn D. Hughey, 2nd division, and lohn G. McKie, 3rd division. There are twenty-three schools in he county, and twenty-two, were .epresented, which is probably the ullest representation on record. The discussions of the topics'on Wednesday were unusually strong ind helpful, practically all of the ippointed speakers being present. The first topic Thursday morn ing was^'Organized Sunday school tvork," which waa discussed in all of its phases by Rev. T. H. Garrett, Mr. W. E. Lott and Mr. W. B. Oogburn. The second subject, "The value of a child," was discussed by Mr.P. H. Bussey, Sr., and Mr. Jj L. Mimi. Instead of continuing the regulaT program the time was given to Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the South Carolina University, who de livered a very able address. Dr. Mitchell his the reputation of : be ing the most popular speaker in South Carolina and he easily 'sus tained it at Red Hill. Dr. Mitchell said many good things and we had hoped to report his address at som( length but the very great demane upon our space, owing to camplugr meetings, union ?fmeetingi, etc. makes it impossible for us to do so We are confident-the words of jthi scholarly, Christian gentlemen mad' a very profound impression npoi the lanre audience. A citizen' 9 Red Hill said to the writer: "Di Mitchell's coming among our pe< pie was an inspiration to them. Hi address will be worth hundreds'c dollars to our community." ?j? A typical Red Hill feast wc served during the dinner hour. Tb hospitality of the good people, c the west-side is boundless. Noll ing seems to give them keener d light than to provide in unlimite quantities on all occasions the ver best that their pantries afford f< the pleasure of friends and visitor v The feature of the afternoon wi the address by Rev. J. T. Watt the financial agent of the South^i Baptist Theological Seminary. H subject was the training of teac ers for Sunday school work. Ha ing been an active pastor as well Sunday school worker, his remar were instructive and helpful. 3M Watts slated that this was the be county Sunday school- conventl that he has ever attended. At the conclusion of his addre Mr. Watts took up a collection f the endowment Of tf?e chair of Si day scho?i pedigogy of the Ser nary. About $250 was pledged 14 schools. After the adoption of resolutic thanking the good people of R Hill for their very generous hos tality, the convention adjourned meet at Stevens Creek next year. Hon. J. O. Patterson. \ v The friends of Hon. J. 0. Patt son were glad to see him in Ed, field Friday last. While he has r completely regained his health, is steadily improving.

The intendance was very large, Edge ield, Clcora, Rehoboth, Kirksey, Pleasant Lane and other adjoining rjommunities being represented. The order was perfect throughout the lay. While the older people were talking crops and politics, some young people were dancing, and others engaged in tete-a-tetes out in bungies. * Very sweet music was supplied by the neighborhood band, the members and instruments bein Miss Mollie Byrd, the guitar; Evan GriffiS, violin; William, Bj7rd, bass violin; Joseph Cartledge, autobarp Miss Milbray Dorn, Miss Mary Em ma Byrd and Luther Byrd relieved the other musicians a part of the time. v A41 that need be said of the din ner is that it was prepared by Jack Whatley and Bob Griffis, two vete ran cooks who stand on the top round of the ladder. We heard many remarks complimentary of the seasoning and the very excellent manner in which the meats were served. Despite the very large at tendance there was an abundance for everybody.
