T. I'. Com cut icm. Mit. EiHToi:: A few quiet, earnest women assembled in the "city by the sea" as the Confederate Veterans'were dispersing, not fdr the purpose ol' freshening the laurels won so gloriously by the Southern soldier ?luring the war of the sixties (most praise-worthy ami becoming though that be), but for planning a campaign against a wily enemy now ravaging our lair lund-a iee more overwhelming hy far than (?railt's legions, and a hundred told more destructive and inhuman than Sherman's heartless hordes. I refer to the State Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Among our visitors was Mrs. Frances Beauchamp, ?if Kentucky, National Secretary of tim W. C. T. IJ. Her charming, womanly manner won the love of all hearts, and her remarks, always bright and to the point, added 'vastly to the interest ol' the meeting. Besides, we were glnd to welcome Mrs. Webb, of Savannah, representing | prison work in the State ot Georgia. The reports showed that our organi zation, though far smaller than it ought to be, was accomplishing much ol' good; and 1 am sure every delegate left de j (ermined to use her best endeavors to get recruits to our "white ribbon arm v.'' The reports ol' Miss Murray of ? work among the negroes, and of Mrs. Carter in charge of literature for the soldiers, were specially enjoyed. The election of orlicers resulted as follows: President, Mrs. R. X. Roach, of Charleston ; Vice President, Mrs. G. E. Prince, of Anderson ; Recording Sec retary, Miss Nettie Farrow, of Spar tauburg; CorrespondingSocretary, Mrs. A M. Chritzbcrg, of Sullivan's Island; Treasurer, Mrs. Dc Gntterclly, of Char leston. \ On Sunday morning, ut Bethel Church, Dr. Rays preached before the Convention a most impressive sermon. Ho struck at the very root of tbe mat ter when he begged thc young ladies to have the courage to say "No, sir," to any young mau who had the temerity to tamper with the wino cup, or who was guilty of tiny other form of immor ality. Rut time fails me to speak of Mrs. Beauchamp's telling lectures at the Baptist Mission Church, near Hamp stead Mall, nud at tho Citadel Square Baptist Church ; of the memorial ser vices in beautiful Magnolia Cemetery at the grave of Mrs. Chapin, for many years our honored President; of the resolutions of thanks to our owu Mr. Jackson for his part in taking from the dispensary bottle our beautiful pal metto tree, etc., etc. The Convention adjourned May loth to meet in Colum bia at the call of the President.
