Proceedings of the Forty-Fourth Annual Session of the Barnwell Baptist Association, Held With the ltamberg Baptist Church. The Barnwell Baptist Association met in the Bamberg Baptist church last Thursday, the 25th, at 12 o'clock, at which time Rev. T. II. Edwards, of Williston, preached the introductory sermon. It was an excellent sermon, which showed careful preparation and was well received. At 1 o'clock the association was organ i/.ed by calling the roll or cnurcnes ami enrolling the names of delegates. All theoldotficers were re-elected: Dr. W. I). Rice, moderator; Rev. \V. D. McMillan, clerk; and Mr. J. A. Jenkins, treasurer. Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor of the church, delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by Rev. ('. E. Burts, of Blaekville. Dr. G. W. Gardner, editor of tlie South Carolina Baptist, and Rev. J. L. Vass, traveling agent for the Baptist-Courier, were cordially received and presented the claims of their papers. Dr. Gardner got forty-one subscribers and went away I delighted, singing Bamberg's praises. We lid not learn how many subscribers Mr. Vass received. Dr. R. W. Sanders, of Greenville, vicepresident of the Home Mission Board, was welcomed and made a thrilling little speech for home missions, after which he was forced to leave us. Thursday night home missions and the >ld preachers were considered. Both received due attention and a nice collection was taken up for the old preachers. Dr. G. W. Gardner, Revs. J. L. Vass, C. E. Burts and T. P. Lide were conspieu>us in the discussions and made excellent speeches. Dr. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, s at the head of the board that takes care >f the old preachers and was to have been icre, but wrote at the last moment that t would be impossible for him to attend. Friday morning Rev. A. T. Jamison, uperintendent of the Connie Maxwell Jrphauage at Greenwood, and Dr. A. P. Jnntjunic ^resident of Furman Univer ity, came in ami were joyfully received. Neither one of them had ever appeared >efore the Barnwell Association before. >oon after their arrival the Orphanage eport was read and Mr. Jamison presented its claims, and right well was it lone. As a result of it he got a nice cash ollection, besides cash pledges and sevral pledges for syrup and boxes. Mr. famison made a tine impression on the >eople, and it is the general opinion that he right man is in the right place. Then the report on woman's work was (resented by Rev.' W. E. Johnson, and te got Dr. Montague to speak in his dace. The Doctor's speech was a gem, .lthough he was caught up on the spur of he moment. But he is always ready. At this point foreign missions were bly and eloquently discussed by Revs. P. *P. Lide, C. E. Burts, and possibly tliers. Friday night Rev. A. T. Jamison deivered a most excellent sermon to a arge, appreciative audience, after which here was an educational mass meeting. )r. Montague called on Profs. Gaines ml Bailey to speak for their respective chools. These two young educators poke well and to the point. Both their chools are flourishing like the green hay ree. Then Dr. Montague came, to the ront and made a speech that cannot be lescribed. It was the treat of a life time. Phe Doctor is one of the brightest lights n the Baptist denomination. As a cholar, he stands in the forefront with he great scholars of his generation. As , courteous Christiau gentleman and conersatioualist we have never seen his eat. As a princely orator and educator le has no superior and but few equals, le is to the Baptists of this State, what )r. Carlisle is to the Methodists. He is aising money now to build a $10,000 lormitory on the Furman University ampus to put the boys in. Every place 5 full and this is to make room for more, ['he Doctor has just succeeded, with the ielp of the alumni, in building a $20,000. lumni hall, and no doubt he will succeed q building the dormitory. At the close f his speech a collection amounting to ;255.06 in cash and pledges to be paid oon was raised. It was feared by some that the crowd rould not be so large on Saturday, but o the pleasant surprise of many the ? j- o 1 louse was nnea again, oeverui wmigs ame up Saturday morning that we canlot give in detail for fear this report will ;row too long to be read. Several good peeclies were made by different mem prs pf the Association. The pplpprter Qf the Association, Rev. V.Q. Brittou, made 3 gOpd report of his ear's work, and had pretty-good sales uring the sessions of the Association. The work of State missions was disussed and a collection taken to be added o the Sunday's collection for that object. The pastor spoke of the large attendnce and said everybody, of course, was flighted at this and no one more than imself and his church. He declared bat his soul had been feasting upon the ompanionsbip and excellent speeches of is brethren, and assured the delegates nd visitors that they could go home feeing that they had made at least one hurch and "one preacher happier and tronger for the duties of life. After the treasurer made his most exellent report, "Blest be the tie that i inds" was sung and tUp parting hand iven, and the Association adjourned, so ar as its regular business was concerned, o rnppt with the Mt. Calvary church, ear Elko, a yoar heuoe, On Sunday morning Rev. J. M. Bostiek reached the regular missionary sermon o a crowded house. It was a sweet, intructive, grand sermon, full of the very larrow and fatness of the gospel. SOME POINTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST. There are thirty-eight churches in the ' issociation, and every church was repre- < ented. This was never done before. The treasurer's report shows that the issociation has given this year to benevoL'nce $400.48 more than last year and last , ear was ahead of previous years. So ; hat this year is the best in its history." ! "his year beats the record in more ways ; han one. * ; The Bamberg church, for benevolence, j ras ahead of any previous year. The Blaekville church headed the list, < nd took off the banner. i The attendance was unusually large on lie part of the delegates and visitors, and i 11 were well cared for. Yen' few homes < iftil as many as thev expected and wanted. < .'hero was room almost anywhere- Some 1 ;ot very few and some perhaps none, but i t could not be helped, as there were lore places than there were delegates and isitors. i The committee on entertainment wishes : 0 express its sincere thanks for the < ;euerous way in which the town and ommunity opened their hearts and their ionics to the people. It had no trouble 11 finding pfaces for the people, but had ome iu fipdjpg people for the places, for this the eonumtiep was sorry, as it inted very much to disappoint any body, >ut could not help it. It did the "best it lould. To one and all who aided, or ?He red to aid, in any way whatever, the ommittee extends hearty thanks. It was 1 fine hotly of christian men and women ntertained by a noble, generous people. The representative men who were here r.,1 wl.rk tMvplwl from one end of the n ??w v* % ~ ? - Hate to the other said the Barnwell Association was up to any thing they had een in the State. The work was of an high order, with: >ut a jar from the lirst word to the last tmen. This was no doubt the largest religious )ody that ever assembled in the town of Bamberg. JHE OFFICERS, js historip bqdy makes thp modest dfilm' of baYMg fts gppd oiftpms as pap be pund anywhppp. Df. W: P- Hjcp, thp imiable and iKjlqved moderator, is ajsq he president of the Baptist State Cqnvpnipn, and there can be up question, thcrerpfp, about hjs knowing ftis business ^pd ^tending to it promptly. He is a fipp ^residing flffiper, aftd enjoys the ppnfi: ience of all the people, The clerk, Rev. W. D. McMillan, has held this posi;ion for something like a quarter of a ???: ? ii... century. This speaks for itself. He could have 110 higher recommendation. It is useless to say more. The treasurer, Mr. J. A. Jenkins, has held his position for years, and it is to be hoped that he will hold it yet many more for it would be impossible to do better. He is a man of affairs and whatever he touches succeeds. He loves his work and is very systematic in whatever he goes at. No man in the Association is honored and loved more. . woman's work. The ladies held their meeting in the Baptist church on Friday afternoon at ! o'clock. Dr. Montague spoke to them beautfully and touchingly. l)r. Gardner also made them a nice talk, after which they held their business meeting among themselves, and the writer, therefore, is not prepared to give a full report of what was done. iiiiili.i-itfiinl however, that the meeting was a grand success. We could liurdly expect otherwise with Mrs. J. J. Brown, of Barnwell, at the head of it. She is a consecrated woman and a tireless worker. Her beautiful ami instructive talks to her sisters has been the subject of remarks. Quite a number of ladies attended the association and contributed no little to its success. These, with the ladies of the town, are loud in their praises of Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown is very anxious to have a Woman's Mission Society in every [ church in the Barnwell Association.

There was quite a commotion among the negroes of this section last week, as two of the race went crazy; one of them a woman and the other the pastor of the church at Three Mile Creek. A large crowd was at St. John's Sunday, and as usual we had a very good sermon by our minister, Rev. W. E. Peeples. L. II. Don't forget that G.
