The Boaverdam Association. The Beaverdam Assooiation met with the South Union church, in 'Oooneo county, last Tuesday. This assooiation is composed of 38 ohurohes in the counties of Ooonee ?and Anderson. Most of the ohurohes are in the oountry and many of them are comparatively weak and unde veloped, m inducting the two new ohurohes just admitted, Rooky Knoll and Cheswell, the membership is a'-ca 8,400. The total contribution? ,r ^1904-5 were less than $4,000 and ... % mor missions and benevolence i> J than $1,000. However, the spirit of progress has come upon the people. MISSIONARY^ KN'Ti II'SI ASM. The key note to the meeting was missions. This began with the intro ductory sermon by J. R. Moore, who took as his text selections from Luke 34, Aots 1, and John 8 :16, and tho "Missionary Enterprise" for his theme. Ho made many practical suggestions in behalf of world-wide missions. The discussion of State Missions was especially enthusiastic. Tho re port strongly commends tho work of the board, also a resolution pledging the hearty co-operation of the asso oiation, were adopted after speeches by W. T. Derieux, J. R. Mow, L. M. Lyda, S. A. McDaniel, W. ?. Huff, A. P. Marett and others. The eloquent pleas for a more liberal sup port of missions must oertainly bear i mit in the future. l> ASTOR AL SUPPORT. It was urged by many of the speakers that the pastor is the key to the situation. One brother ad mitted this, but said in justification of himself that he preaches onoe or oftener every Sunday, servir.g four, ohurches, which pay him less than $200. He cannot live on this Bum, support his samily and keep up his horse and buggy, but he has to work during the week in order to earn a living. This brought out a number of earnest speeches in behalf of a more liberal support of the pastors. S. A. McDaniel introduced a r 'so lution authorizing the moderator to appoint a committee of co-operation composed of seven members, whose duty shall be to visit the ohurohes in every seotion of the assooiation, con fer freely with the brethren, and ascertain, if possible, a plau by which all the ohurches Bball be grouped into fields, consisting of two to four or five ohurohes, making each pas torate as compact as praotioable, and indicating where parsonages should be built, also reporting as to what fields would, under such an arrange ment, need assistance from the State board. This resolution was discussed at considerable length, and passed by a unanimous vote. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. One of the by-laws provides that the election of officers shall be by ballot without nominations. This made it necessary to take four bal lots, two for moderator and two for derk and treasurer, the last two being voted for on the same ballot. J. H. Stone was elected moderator ; J. R. Earle, clerk, and James Sea born, treasurer. OTHER DENOMINATIONAL INTERESTS. The representatives of the denomi national papers were present, also A. T. Jamison, representing Connie Maxwell Orphanage. Bro. Jamison was given a good hour to present the claims of the orphanage, and a oash collection was taken amounting to $12.87. . Dr. Derieux scoured a col lection of $14.8^ for State missions. NEXT MEETING. ' The Assooiation will meet next year with Mt. Tabor churoh, in An derson county, and the time will probably be September 26, six weeks* later than heretofore. Many wan:, cooler weather for the meeting. NOTES. Rev. J. R. Moore and his people were very kind to the visiting brethren, entertaining them Monday night and furnishing them convey ances to and from the asBooiation. The Weetrainster ohuroh made an excellent report. The membership is now 200 as against 176 last ye>.r, a net gain of 24 members, 17 of these by baptism. The total contribu tion $1,050.94 this year against $642.01 last year, a gain cf 63 per cent, while the missionary contribu tion inoreased from $199.10 in 1905 to $89/6.78 in 1906, laoking only a f raotion of doubling in one year. Of the above amount $1.85.20 went to foreign missions against $79.98 for 1905. Congratulations are due Pas tor Moore and Lis coble people. S. A. McDaniel, pastor of South Union, Return, Bethel and other oaurohes, is an enthusiastic advocate of missions, and Mrs. McDaniel ia an intense worker among the women of the church. The result is seen in a great forward movement in his churches. South Union increased her mission contributions from $60.44 last year to 4125.64 this year, an inorease of 108 per oent in one year. Return ohuroh increased her mission contributions daring the year from $16.85 to $55.44, an in orease of more than three hundred per oent in one year. Bro. McDan iel is justly happy in the great pro gress of the work under his care. Along the road from Westminster to South Union, twelve miles dis tant, one passes through a prosperous oommunity. The road is good, and as the horse trots along you pass in quiok succession elegant residences, corn fields so green as to look almost blaok, and cotton as fine as you oould find anywhere. The people of this section are progressing as never be fore, and the Baptists only need to train and develop their constituency here in order to have as strong ohurohes here as anywhere. C. S. Blackburn, pastor of Seneoa ohurch, is regaining his wonted health, and is getting a firm hold on his flook and the people of the Bea? verdam Association. He is a valu able accession to the South Carolina Baptist ministry.-J. K. H., in Bap tist Courier, AuguBt 16th. Another Good Man Goa? Wrong. He neglected to take Foley's Kidney Cure at the first signs of kidney trouble, hoping it would wear away, and he was soon a victim of Bright's disease. There is danger in delay, but if Foloy'a Kidney Cure is taken at onco the symptoms will disappear, the kidneys are strengthened and you are soon sound and well. A. H. Baas, of Morgantown, Ind., had to get up ten or twelve times in the night, and had a severe backache and pains in the kid neys, and was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure. Dr. J. W. Bell.

It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make In the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, tho charm, the brilliance vanish Uko the bloom from a poach which is rudely handled. The matron ts only a dim shadow, a faint ocho of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this chango, Ignorance and neglect. Few young womon appreciate the shock to tho system through tho chango which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often como with mar 'ago and motherhood, not understanding tuat this secret drain is robbing tho cheok of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as tho general health suffers when there is derangoment of tho health of tho delicate womanly organs, so surely when those organs aro established in health tho face and form at onco witness to tho fact in renewed comeliness.
