GOLDEN JUBILEE.
(Continued from page 1.)
own wisdom in excluding the breth
ren, for the talks on varied enter
prises were so franght with interest
and enthusiasm, that it was selfish
to limit their horizon.
The devotions were conducted by
Miss Sallie May Burton of Bate?
burg, corresponding secretary of
the Woman's Missionary Union of
South Carolina and the welcome was
most graciously extended b". Mrs.
B. H. Mims, appropriately selected
for this service, as she is probably
lhe -most advanced in years, and
served in that most useful capacity
as organist of the Baptist church
about forty-eight years, and is the
aunt of Rev. John Lake. Some one
remarked to her that they were just
beginning to find out her gifts, and
with all the greatness of her past
service, she had been hiding her
light under a bushel.
Deaconess Anna E. Sands.
Dressed in the regalia of a dea
coness of the Episcopal church,
most becoming, with th* bonnet
covering a face showing great beau
ty of character, Deaconess Sands,
now laboring in Horse Creek Valley,
.stood before the audience of ladies,
and told with the gentleness and re
finement of extreme culture, of work
for the people of the valley, her
great interest in, and the need for
compulsory education, and kindred
laws to meet the situation as it is
seen in the mill section. She espe
cially showed the need of the muni
cipal ballot among the men of the
mill towns. A number of these are
towns entirely controlled by the
mill authorities and the men have
no opportunity of expression by
ballot. This takes away their sense
of personal responsibility as to the
sanitary and moral condition of
their communities. She also com
mended the valley for its splendid
graded schools in nearly all the
towns.
Mrs. W. J. Hatcher.
"Western women in eastern
lands" is the title of a book on mis
sion study which is attracting the
attention of our women the world
over, harving been written by Helen
Barrett Montgomery, the beautiful
Bost on woman, who has consecrat
ed her intelligence to the cause of
missions. She was at one time presi
dent of the state Federation of
dubs of Massachusetts, and is now
a trustee of Wellesley College, and
an alumna'of that institution. Mrs.
Hatcher presented the first two
chapters of this book. No one caj
write of Mrs. Hatchers attractive,
appearance before an audience. She
is winsome and gracious, and en
thusiastic and vivacious, one who is
used as a vessel for the Master's use.
One lady who bad not heard Mrs.
Hatcher before said to her neighbor
on the seat, "Who is that one
where did she come from?" and the
reply was "She only came from,
Johnston, our neighboring town
from our own county, and did you
expect that no good thing could
come out of Nazareth?" The truth
of the matter is that Mrs. Hatcher
is a Georgian, but she did not do
all these great and good things so
well till she became a resident of
South Carolina a number of years
ago.
And now the lunch hour has ar
rived, and the women and all the
good brothers who had the temeii
ty to venture so near must be served
.with the bounteous provision made
jeady for the hour, for the good wo
men can cook as well as talk. Now
we all had thought that the women
of all the churches had made a most
beautiful composite picture, but how
would the platters look, with Metho
dist, Presbyterian, Episcopa1 and
Baptist cakes and sandwiches,
chicken and salads, placed upon
them, and even coffee that came
from Roman Catholic Brazil? It
could not be surpassed, and if any
thing, the love and labor that lay be
hind it all, and the unity and good
fellowship that was blended with it,
mad? it all the better and more
wholesome, and there was enough
and to spare.
Monday Afternoon.
After a short devotional service
conducted by Mrs. M. D. Jeffries,
the ladies betook themselves into
the land of dreams and romance,for
there seated on the platform were
five Chinese girls, dressed in every
color of the rainbow; and Deaconess
Sands conveyed us all over the beau
tiful Islands of Hawaii; in the
somes of the native; around the
leper colonies; on the beautiful
beach with.its opal waters; around
Pearl Harbor and over extinct vol
canoes, and those in eruption, defy
ing the heathen gods and goddesses;
by the bedside of the dying Hawaii
ans or the schools of the myriad na
tionalities who inhabit these islands;
through the famous fern forests and
the hospitals for the sick and help
less; hearing the story of Captain
Cook and his brave but degraded
seamen; and the greater life among
the Hawaiians of Vancouver, the
American discoverer and Christian.
Months would not suffice to tell the
wondrous story of these spots of
beauty out in mid-ocean, being now
transformed from benighted hea
thenism to enlightened Christianity.
Miss Bolick brought us back
again to the stern realities of the
work right here in our midst, when
she was called to the platform for a
few minutes more of her work at
Langley. She was full of intense
and sobei earnestness, and made
every listener anxious to come to
her assistance iq the work which she
is laboring to do Ih the Horse
Creek Vallej. Miss Bolick and Mrs.
Snuggs were both exponents of the
great cause and need of the kinder
garten both among the heathen and
among our own people of South
Carolina.
Mrs. W. J. Hatcher as the last
speaker for the afternoon gave a
short but thrilling account of the
jubilee celebration in Atlanta, and
with "Blest be the tie that binds"
the afternoon meeting came to
a close.
Monday Night.
For this service Dr. H. M. Du
Bose of St. Johns Methodist church
of Augusta did our quiet country
village the honor to come over and
give one of the most powerful mis
sionary sermons ever heard in our
town. In this service we had the
children in a beautiful Sunbeam
?ong, and the young ladies singing]
'Jesus is calling me," and Mrs. R. j
G. Shannonhouse, in a solo "Come
unto me," and then this eloquent
orator, who not only favored us
with his great presence, but gave us
the best he had. It must have been
the best, for how could it have been
surpassed? His theme was "Help
these women who labor together
with me in the gospel." The climax
of it all was that wonderful old
song, "Shall we gather at the river?"
and everybody sang as if they be
lieved they would, and we believe
they will, perhaps after great suffer
ings and chastisement, but after all,
they will one day stand
"On the margin of the river
Casting up its silver spray,
They will walk and worship ever
All the happy golden day."
But what of all the enthusiastic
committees and their work. There
was Mrs. W. L. Dunovant of the
hospitality committee who amid
many other pressing duties found
time for this added one, and never
failed to smile until she found that
others had stolen her personal share
of delegates.
And Mrs. Peak of the finance
committee whose face was wreathed
in smiles as she stood over against
the treasury, and j?aw the generous
offerings of the people sufficient for
the needs.
And Mies Lou Gary on the decor
ating committee whose taste gave
such a festive look to the church,
so simple, and yet so suggestive of
the golden jubilee idea, and enjoy
ing it all as ihe wove her enthusi
asm in this labor of love.
And Mrs. J. E. Hart as she served
the luncheon and Mrs. Holland and
Mrs. Griffin attending to all the de
tails of the Brazilian coffee. What
a multiplicity of details all this ?in
volved, and yet directed with such
good cheer and order, it seemed to
evolve as if by magic.
And the ushers, Misses Emily
Strother and Royal Peak, and Mrs.
B. Timmons of the reception com
mittee, who with the other helpers
stood at the door and in the aisles,
receiving the coming guests, with
smiles and pleasant greetings.
All these were but types of the
committees which they represented^
And now last, and "the last shall be
first," is Dr. Jeffries, who so
graciously presided over all the
meetings, spoke so kindly of all
that was said and done, and indeed
was the greatest, because he was
willing to be the servant of all.
And what more can be said of all
the workers, and speakers and help
ers, unless at this approaching
Christmas season we remember the
words of Tiny Tim, and say "God
bless you every one."

Hoke Smith a Marked Man.
Washington, Dec. 6.-Under the
headline, The Renunciation of
Hon. Hoke Smith," a .Washington
afternoon paper comments to-day
on the fact that yesterday he refused
tn accept $3,000 back salary, and
characterizes him as a marked man.
This story says:
"Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
has astonished his compatriots and
colleagues in the senate by refusing
to taH? wages which he did not
earn. It appears he was elected lasf.
July 12th, but he did not take the
oath of office Until tho-first day of
this session; Something like ?3,000
had accumulated in senate salary to
his credit, but when the disbursing
functionary tendered him the
amount he refused to take it, and
ordered it turned back into the
'federal treasury.
''This is a strange proceeding for
a member of congress. True, if one
were !to go out on the street to-day
and hire a man to work about his
house or his yard or his farm, and
the man aforesaid did not begin
operations until five months hence
there would be no accumulation of
wages in tho meantime. The hired
man would not even think of asking
it. But this is not the senate way of
doing things. About the only case
on record before Senator Smith
came to town of a statesman refus
ing salary he bad not earned was
when David B. Hill of New York
was elect?d, but was com pelled to
remain in Albany for a time. He,
too, refused to accept the salary.
But this was not allowed to be con
sidered a precedent.
"The Hon. Hoke Smith has
branded himself from the outset as
an insurgent. He will be a marked
man from this time forth in senate
circles."
