^ 30th Annual Convention Chapin, Sept. 20.?The thirtieth Aunual Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held in Saluda September 12 14. The Convention was largely attended, people coming from the whole surrounding community. About 70 r delegates from the different Unions were present. Mrs. T. E. Patterson, S^-ate President of Georgia, was the Convention speaker. Sunday morning, Mrs. Patterson spoke on God's MasterpieceMan, illustrating by the use of charts prepared by the most eminent physicians, how the highest part of man's nature is perverted and destroyed by the use of alcohol and tobacco. Sunday evening, Mrs. Patterson spoke en the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, showing its aims, purposes and scope. Dr. R. E L. Harris of Augas a, Ga. o ino )n? ili'O. fl-1 utu vticv.i aii iiiivicoiiu^ i ? address, presenilis some of ti e problems oi fighting tht. it'Su'ized and illegalized liquor traffic. One of the mo:-r pleasing features of the Convention was the introdacl tiou of about twenty White Ribbon K Recruits to tar audience by Mrs. E. f E. Williamson of Newberry, Supei iutendent of Mothers' Meetings. Mrs. Joseph S'prott, the State President, tied the white ribbon on the tiny arms of the babies The L. T. L. demonstration Sunday afternoon, under the direction of Miss Leilah Attaway, State Secretary of j the Loyal Temperance LegioD, was a beautiful illustration of the "guard mount'' of The Arms of the Overthrow. A large number of children marched in, bearing flags and standing upon the i platform sang spirited temperance songs also giving a number of recita. tions, drills, etc., closing by present ing the State President, Mrs. Joseph Sprott, of Manning, with a love bybouquet of white flowers. Mrs. Sprott acknowledged this gift in a few well chosen and appropriate words. ? A reception was tendered the visitors by the Local Union Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The State Officers, the State Organizer, and Mrs. Patterson of Georgia stood in the receiving line. The decorations were tasteful and attractive and the refreshments served were dainty as well delicious. The declamatory and musical contests held Saturday tvening were der the supervision of Mrs. LenaS ix of Leesville, Superintendent of the Medal Contest department. The collections, cash and pledged, amounted to$95.14, besides the pledges to State werk made by the Unions, Y. P. B.'s and L. T. L.'s, which amounted to $151.50. The town of Saluda, although only fifteen years old, showed every sign of progress and prosperity, the fact of its being a dry county being one of its chief assets. The High School is a monument to the temperance sentiment of the citizens, who prefer to pay 9-% mills spocial tax rather than educate their children by the use of blood money obtained by accepting dispensary funds for this purpose. Mrs. Charles P. Robinson. The Family Cough Medicine Id every home there shonld be a bottle of Dr. King'9 New Discovery, ready for immediate use when any member of the family contracts a cold or a cough. Prompt use will stop the spread of sickness. S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., writes: "My whole family depends upon Dr. King's New Discovery as the best cough and cold medicine in the world. Two 50c. bottles cured me of pneumonia." Thousands of other families have been equally benefited and depend entirely upon Dr. King's New Discovery to cure their cough9, throat and lung troubles. Every dose helps. Price, 50c. and $1.00. All druggists. H. E. Bucklen & Co. Philadelphia or St. Louis. adv. May Participate in Exposition. South Carolina has been invited to send a cotton exhibit to the first international cotton fibres exposition, to be held in London in June of 1914. The State department of agriculture ha9 collected one of the nnesi conecctioos of cottons in the South. Taere is no appropriation for snch an exhibit, and Commissioner Watsoa will very probably have something to say in his annual report to the general assembly relative to the display. If the exhibit is sent the department will permit the use of the collection of cottons. The textile association of South Carolina and the cotton breeders will be asked to assist in miking the exhibit a success. A Gentle and Effective Laxative A mild, gentle and effective laxative is what people demand when suifering from constipation. Thousands swear by Dr. King's New Life Pills. Hugh Tallman, of San Antonio, Tex. writes: "They are, beyond question, the beat pills my wife and I have ever taken." They never cause pain. Price 25c. at druggists, or by mail, H. E. Bucklen ! & Co.. Philadelphia or St. Louie, adv ^ Dnion Dots. We have been having some cool weather in which to gather cotton. In fact, it has been reported that frost wa9 seen in some places. Mr. Luther Roland and son, Henry, of near Styxe, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Rolands Saturday and Sunday. Messrs. John Gable and Johnnie Spires were visitors of Mr. and Mrs. I Walter Gable. j Among those who went to the moving picture show at the Lexington school auditorium Saturday night were Misses Avey ar.d Florie Roland, accompanied by their cousin, Mr. Henry Roland, of near Styxe, last Saturday night. After the show was over the party stopped at Sheriff Sim J. Milier's on their return home and enjoyed some good music rendered by liim. It seems that our good old sheriff finds the most pleasure in helping to make those who Contemplate him enjoy themselves. Mrs. Daniel, of Newberry, is spending the week-end with her father-inlaw, Mr. S. F. Roland. A good meeting is being conducted by Rev. John Irwin Fry at Union scnoolhouse. We hope that many souls will be saved by his impressive sermons. Mrs. Jes>ie RoJand has been very sick for the past few days. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Miss Nila Fallow was the guest of Misses Arey and Florie Roland last Monday evening. Mr. Jessie Roland will give an oldfashioned peanut picking September the 24th. m. < . :~ t-Ulo o 'AD6 iaxiliers IU WIO ocuuuu ait a little behind in picking cotton on account of the rain and cool weather. However, cotton picking is the order of the day. We are very sorry to know that Mr. Johnnie Gregory is suffering very much with a flesh wound on his leg. It is thought that blood poison may set in. We hope that he will be better in the shortest time. I will close with best wishes to the dear old Dispatch. If anyone can beat this, come on darling. Guess Who.
