* ** ** * *** * ** *
We arrived Friday, the 11th of Sept
at 6 p. m. at the lovely little town of
Bamberg. It seemed the whole city
was down to meet us and greet us
with a cordial welcome. We all fell
in love with the may~r, who not only
was at the depot when we came and
when we left, in an official capacity,
but welcomed us into his heart and
home, and attended the meetings, and
took part in the exercises, and sub
scribed to the Union Signal. The
prominent men and women of the
various churches were booked to give
us enthusiastic addresses of welcome
in the convention, and vied with
aech other as to wh- could do most
for our pleasure and make us feel
most at home, outside of it.
The Methodist ehurch which open
ed its doors wide to us, was tastily
decorated with pot plants, and ban
ners displayed, conspicuous among
which was our state banner, with its
inspiring motto: "Dum Spiro Spero"
-"While I breathe I hope.."
The local president of the W. C.
T. U. gained during the convention
39 new members, bringing up her
enrolment to 111.
This is S more than our Newberry
Union has so we must bestir oursel
ves.
Saturday was given up to the Loyal
Temperance Legion, from which were
19 delegates.
Among the most interesting fea
tures of the occasion, was the )rgan
iuation of the State L. T. L. The
officers are the same as the State W.
C. T. U., and the officers, boys and
girls elected by themselves and from
=mong themselves. That night the
house was packed to witness the eon
test for the gold medal. It was
awarded to a lovely young lady, a
Miss Williamson from Leesville. Her
piece touched the hearts of the aud
ience, was well delivered, and had
gained medals before. Mr. Jackson
Bowers far outstrippe 'his competi
tors among the boys!
Mrs. Dietrick, of Lockport, N. Y.,
mnade several fine addresses. The one
on An'ti-Narcoties, was especially
good. $55,000,000,000 yearly is the
revenue from cigarettes.
'Su.nday morning, Col. C. C. Feath
erstone (prospective govern of South
Carolina,) discoursed on prohibition.

In the afternoon a service for the
young people was held in the place
of the Sunday school. Prof. Guilds,
of the Carlisle Fitting sdhool made an
interesting addres on character.
Monday morning was mostly given
to reading reports and roll calls.
38 Unions were represented by 57
delegates, which, with 19 L. T. L's.,
~made 76 delegates. Th-is is the larg
~est delegation we have ever had, and
fitly celebrated the Silver A.nniv er
sairy of the W. C. T. U. in South Car
olina. Many were kept away by the
bavoc wrought by the recent floods.
At the National in Nashville, 500
delegates were present, 941 New Wo
mnen 's Unions formed, and 485 Young
People s Unions (t'here are 48,256
T. members in Tennessee alone) 238
W.- C. T. U's. were made life mem
bers. Ohio has 8000 W. C. T. U.
members, and sent 53 delegates to Na

girls are now -there, and 9 children.
.50 to 70 girls are rescued every year,
and 90 per cent of them turn out well.
Another report says Germany has
no patent medicines. We were par
ticularly proud to hear this for Ger

medicines are largely made Ap of
alcohol, and our dear Mrs. Armor
says, "Alcohol is good for pickling
Mexico closes saloons from 12 m.
Saturdays till 12 m. Mondays.

we this year raised $1432.40, and have
in treasury $171.
Monday afternoo)n, Mrs. Sprott.
State president, made her annual ad
dress in her usual masterly style.
One of the most interesting parts of
the afternoon program, was the ques
tion box. (conducted ably by Mrs.
Sarah Waite, an authority on parlia
mentary law, followed by a parlia
mentary drill by Mrs. Dietrick.
Monday evening Mrs. J. L. Mims,
state supt. of press dept. read an in
teresting paper on the press and tem
perance literature.
Alcohol as a medicine was ably
presented by Mrs. R. B. Cannon, in
a ten minutes talk.
Scientific temperance instruction
in school and colleges, and alcoholic
wine at the Lord's Supper, the former
earnestly urged, and the latter equal
ly earnestly protested against, by
Mrs. Nuttall's substitute, the gifted
Mrs. Dietrick.
Mrs. Mims pleaded for a better
support for our papers. The Union
Signal, published at Evanston, Ill.,
and The Bulletin, edited by Mrs.
Mims herself. The Bulletin we vot
ed to give a more enphonious and
appropriate name, "The White Rib
bon Palmetto."
The year's progress, a one minute
talk by each of the local presidents,
on the best things accomplished by
her Union during the year, was full
of pleasant surprises as to the differ
ent ways the Unions took to keep up
interest, and raise money, and what
they did with it.

lowing from Newberry:

There was an anima:ted discussion
on the topic, resulting in an unani
mity of opinion, that the Union must
be kept up, if it had to become a
Men's C. T. U. The men here have
taken better hold than the women.
A Bible reading interesting in the
extreme, was conducted by Mrs.
Pietriek, wherein she took the case
of Nehemiah. and .the Jews returned
from the caiptivity, grebuilding the
walls of Jerusalem, amidst the active
opposition and jibes of its enemies,
and the discouragement of its friends,
and compared it to the cause of tem
perance, showing how to meet dis
couragement and ca!umny.' by the
noble conduct of NeIiemia~h and the

when a babe of ten months. was ear
ried on the platform, amidst the
elappinz of the audience. and the
cooing of tVhe babe to be inducted
formally into membership, by the ty
incg of a white ribbon on its little
tendent df W. R. R's., perZormed this
rite. The babe had but recently been

family of its grand-parents, and even
the old great grand father, who were
present to witness the ceremony, were
each members of W. C. T. U.

throughout.

lution of thanks to the good people

dispensary) and the hymn, "Blest
be the tie that binds," everybody
standing and lasping hands was sung.

TEDDY AGAIN.
¬her Alleged Connection With
Granting Prairie Oil Franchise
-Indianapolis Man Tells a
New Story.
The State.
Indianapolis, Ind., September 29.
There is in Indianapolis a man whQ
declares that he has the positive
word of T. M. Barnesdale of Pitts
burg that President Roosevelt order
d Ethan Allen Hitchcock, then see
cetary of the interior, to grant to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company a fran
?hise in the territory of Oklahoma.
fter Barnesdale, president of the oil
eompany, had made a- $25,000 con
tribution to the campaign fund of
Benjamin B. Odell, wh'o was at that
bime a candidate for governor of New
Tork.
The man who tells the story here
is one of the best known men in the
State, but he declines to have his
aame used in the matter for the pres
mnt. He is interested in the oil busi
aess in Oklahoma.
"IMr. Barnesdale and I were to
either one day and the conversation
turned to the franchise matter.
Barnesdale told me he had been 3.
ing business a good many years and
ad learned to look ahead and pre
pare for what he might wish to ac
?omplish. Then he told me this story:
"Barnesdale and Odell were rear
.d together ad grew up together and
were fast friends. Barnesdale got
.nto the oil business and made mil
ions of dollars, while Odell entered
yolities. Odell sueceeded as a politi
ia.n, but never accumulated much
noney. Barnesdale applied to the
~eretary of the interior for a fran
~hise for the Prairie Oil and Gas
~ompany to do business in ti.e Terri
ory of Oklahoma and he saw at once
hat he would have great difficulty in
nducing Secretary Hitcheock to
~rant it.
"Barnesdale went to New York
md called on Odell. Odell predicted
2s own election, 'but said he was ham
pered for money to make the canvass.
Barnesdale told him not to worry
Jbout the matter, for he had made
oney and would be only too glad to
help him out. Barnesdale gave Odell
p25,000 as a contribution to his cam
paign fund.
"Odell was elected and inaugurat
ed as governor of New York. .It was
probably *a year after the contribu
ion was made that Barnesdale found
that the Prairie Oil and Gas company
eould not obtain its franehise from
Secretary Hiitcheoek unless Presi
dent Roosevelt were to order its is
mance. He then asked Odell to go to
Washington and lay the matter be
fore the president. So he a.nd
Barnesdale went to Washington and
ealled on President Roosevelt at the
White House.
"Odell explained to President
Roose.rli that Barnesdale was a very
mod friend of his and that he had
done him many great favors. Odell
asked the president to take care of
the matter and to see ~to it that the
rranchise was granted. Roosevelt call
ed Secretary Hitcheoek to the White
House and instruacted him to grant
'he franchise asked for by Barnes
dale. Hitchcock objected strenuous
ly, but President Roosevelt told the
seeretary that he wished the fran
hise granted, and gave positive or
d'ers tha.t it should be done.''
