Conference oi Baptists in Columbia. ? A very enthusiastic conference of the Baptist denomination in the in terests of the 75 Million Campaign, was held in Columbia on Tuesday of this week. Seven or eight associations were represented, in one of them eleven of the thirteen churches being present. The auditorium of the First Baptist church was filled with Baptist preachers and laymen and women of the Woman's Misionary Union. The northern assemblage of asso ciations had been called in Green ville the day before, an?Tanother fol lowed of the Eastern and Southern Associations on Wednesday in Flor ence. These meetings were called by the Secretary-Treasurer Dr. C. E. Burts, who presided over the three meet ings. In Greenville there were reported about 300 delegates and a spirit of determination was unanimous to go . forward in the raising of every cent of the pledges. In the meeting in Columbia a won derful faith and vision was displayed by those present, and the same spirit of sacrifice and devotion, and no backward steps were entertained for a moment. Plans were laid for im mediate roganization of the churches in all the associations. Edgefield Association had four representatives, Mr. Orlando Shep pard, Rev. A. T. Allen, Mrs. J. L. Mims and Rev. G. C. Mangum. Among the pleasant words of com mendation made by Dr. Burts was a word for Gilgal Woman's Mission so ciety. He said that Gilgal communi ty in the Edgefield Association had been one of the hardest hit of any place in South Carolina, but in spite of that he had received a check from the women of that chorch for seven ty-five dollars in payment of their pledge. Fine addresses and informal talks were made, and great inspiration was derived from them, and just before the noon hour the meeting broke up in associational groups, some having large representation. At the recess hour, in the Sunday school room, about two hundred del efates were seated for a bountiful repast, furnished by the First Baptist church and served by che lady mem bers. Dr. Skinner, pastor, invited the ladies to enter first and be seated and the others followed. There were many familiar faces among those "being, Miss Jesse King-, Mrs. George E. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Lanham, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bell White of Saluda, Mrs. J. P. Mc Lean of Aiken, Rev. J. R. McKittrick of Lexington association, who has been pastor for several years of .Edgefield churches, Lieut. Gov. E. B. Jackson, who wast the enthusiastic chairman of the Edisto Association delegation, and Mrs. C. E. Burts, who very graciously assisted in serv ing the tables and gave the writer a cup of coffee instead of cold water, In His Name. The afternoon session was short and was given over to the reports from the associations as to their ac ceptance of the plans. Through the kindness of Mr. A. J. Bethea, I was driven to the station in time to see the Winthrop Special go out, and together we went through each coach looking for the three girls from Edgefield, Helen Nichol son, Gertrude Thurmond and Susan Adams, but they were nowhere to be found, and we discovered later that they had gone earlier in the day on the train for Washington. Among the pleasant meetings was seeing some of the students from Edgefield in Columbia. One of the first was Frank Adams, who is in his junior year at the University of South Carolina, and whom we were pleased to greet at the station. Later Miss Agnes Long came down as a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet to greet the new students coming in to the Columbia College. She made an ideal hostess in this position of making new students less homesick and giving them a word of cheerful greeting. As we were leaving .:he city the climax was having the pleasure of seeing Miss Mary Dorn and having a conversation with her. Miss Mary is one of the honored attaches of the a delightful place. State Board of Health, and says it is A wait of two hours at Trenton was not without its redeeming fea tures, for companionship was provid ed in the person of Miss Annie Sue Broadwater, who was coming home for a little furlough from her school in Lancaster and cheered the long road by her youthful exurberance.

Edgefield people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test. T. J. Paul, of Jeter St., P. 0. Box 176 endorsed Doan's seven years ago and again confirms the story. .Could you ask for more convincing testimony? "My trouble was brought on by be ing on my feet continually," says Mr. Paul. "I had a dull pain in my back and tired easily. My back was sore and stiff when I was on my feet long. My rest was often broken at night, my kidneys acted so freely. I pro cured Doan's Kidney Pills at Hol stein's Drug Store an.d they cured me of the trouble." ( Statement giv en June 9th, 1914.) On February 3, 1922, Mr. Paul added: "I haven't needed a kidney remedy since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I gladly confirm ali I said in praise of Doan's." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Seventy-Sixth Birthday of Mrs. Hughey Beautifully Ob served. The hospitable home of Mrs. M. C. Hughey of Plum Branch, S. C., was, last Saturday the scene of a happy reunion to observe the "seventy-sixth birthday of Mrs. Hughey. Thc rare and beautiful love which these children bear their mother was evidenced in loving gifts, in a lavish dinner and in tender solicitude for the comfort and pleasure of the hon oree of the occasion. With her daughter, Mrs. JR T. West, Mrs. Hughey received her guests in the old Seigler home, where for many years she had ministered with loving care to her own mother, Mrs. Jane Seigler who lived to be eighty-six years of age. The hour suggested both fulfillment and promise. "Hon or thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord, thy God, giveth thee." An attractive cake with seventy six candles was an object of interest to all, and even the smallest grand children grasped the understanding that the years had been many and useful, and each year, like a' little candle had shed its ray of light and love. For Mrs. Hughey is a woman whom to know is to love, and none indeed may pass her way without re ceiving a blessing. Here were gather ed her children and grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hughey, Kath en n, Lillian and Curran Hughey, of Columbia; Mr. and Mrs. R. T. West; Mr. and Mrs. Luther White and Reg inald White; Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hughey, Mary Luda, J.

On the porch Carolyn Dorn and Perrin Mims served red lemonade to all the little folks as they entered, and this was a suggestive introduc tion to what was coming later. Misses Gladys Lyon, Genevieve Norris and Fannie Lee Carter lent their assistance in entertaining the gay assemblage during the hours of four to six when games were enjoyed on the inside and later out of doors. Each one was presented with a handpainted.favor in golden rod de sign, and the home was artistically decorated in golden rod and mari golds, the most appropriate and beau tiful for the autumn season. In the dining room a red color scheme was used, the table being decorated with a birthday cake with five red candles and a Kupie dressed in red in the center of the cake. Red s'treamers were draped from the lights above down to the table where red zinnias and fems added to the festive glow of the scene. But the climax of it all was the group of lovely children whose happy and expectant faces lent a charm more wonderful than could be pro duced by anything earth can yield.

Clemson College, Sept. 18.-This is a good time of year to plan a sys tematic crop rotation and begin to put it into operation. The wisdom of using a crop rotation has been prov en by numerous experiments and by the experiences of our best farmers. It is now more important than ever before. Every farmer who has not already done so should make a start on. a rotation now, advises Prof. C. P. Blackwell, Chief of the Agronomy Division. Land to be planted in small grains can be planted now. Land to . be planted in cotton next year should be set aside now and should' be plow-' ed deep this fall if it is a heavy soil, and if it is a light soil it should be plowed early in the spring. It should be worked into a firm smooth seed bed early in the spring in order to give an early growth of cotton. Land to be planted in corn next year should be planted to a cover1 crop early this fall. If the land has cotton on it this year, the cotton stalks should be plowed under be fore planting to imall grain as a cov er , crop. .
