District Missionary Meeting.
The combined home and foreign missionary
societies of Orangeburg district
held their annual meeting at Jericho
church on the Cameron circuit May 16-19.
The meetings were presided over by Mrs.
W. L. "Wait, corresoondinsr secretary of
the home mission society, and Mrs. E. S.
Herbert, vice president of the woman's
foreign missionary society. These consecrated
ladies are devoted to missionary ,
work in whatever form, and were mutually
helpful in conducting the meetings
of their respective societies. <
Friday, the first day, was devoted to
home missions. The meeting was opened <
with song and prayer, followed by a wel- 1
come address by Rev. J. C. Yongue, pas- i
tor of Cameron circuit. He assured the
societies that it was a great pleasure tc i
Jericho community to have the meeting ]
at their church and to entertain the delegates
in their homes. Rev. J. L. Tyler, i
pastor of Elloree circuit, was also pres- 1
ent, and assured the societies of his sym- ?
pathy and interest in their work. Mrs.
Wait responded to these addresses, and I
earnestly expressed her desire that all s
present might be greatly benefitted by the
meeting. She then talked of the home c
mission work in South Carolina. The a
society was organized in Sumter in 1893. i
Since then its growth has been slow but
stead}'. There are now four hundred a
members in the South Carolina confer- c
suce. She explained the great need of the c
work. When we consider that only one- a
;hird of the population of the Onited v
States belong to any church and that there s
ire forty-seven Buddhist temples in America,
we realize that we must be up and i
ioing in the cause of Christianity. We v
ind need for home mission work in the v
;ecluded mountain districts, in the popu- t
ous mill districts, in the slums of the city, i:
ind everywhere. There are only four
;ocieties in the Orangeburg district, viz:
Rowesville, Branchville, Orangeburg and
Bamberg. Only the two latter were represented.
They reported societies doing P
ictive work along various lines. c
Before the close of the morning session, *
3evs. H. B. Browue and M. W. Hook
:ame in, and were gladly welcomed by ^
he society. c
In the afternoon Rev.H. A. McCullough, tl
>astor of the Lutheran church, wasintroluced
to the society and spoke words of -n
heer and encouragement to the workers
n the missionary cause. c
Mrs. Wait spoke of the parsonage aid
eature of the society and showed how ^
lelp had been given many parsonages, j
lot only in the far West, but right here in
>ur own South Carolina. Rev. H. B. j
Jrowne also gave an earnest talk on this t]
ihasc of the home mission work. Mrs.
lerbert talked of and explained the res- u
ue work being done by this band of
workers. ?
Saturday was occupied by the foreign
tiissionary society. After devotional ex- v
rcises, Miss Daisy Gates welcomed the
ociety in the name of the woman's for- ?
ign missionary society of Jericho church,
iter which Miss Lena Yongue, in behalf p
f the juvenile society of the same church,

resses Mrs. Herbert responded and urged g.
be societies to greater diligence in the J
luster's work. Our district secretary,
diss Albcrgotti, was unable to be present, &
ut sent words of greeting. Her report t(
ras read by Mrs. Herbert. From it we
earned that the society had not been at a rj
tandstill. There has been an increase in r
members and in subscribers to the Mis- ^
ionary Advocate. There has been a total
f $060.51 collected from the society dur- q
Qg the past year. Orangeburg is the ban- _
er society of the district, and Bamberg ^
ext. While these societies have paid
lore money, there are other smaller socities
that have averaged much more per vj
icmber. d
Reports from delegates were called for.
ome 10 or 12 responded. Most of the
ocieties not represented by delegates a]
eut reports which were read. ti
Mrs. Herbert gave an interesting and tl
sstructive talk on the Scarritt bible and
raining school. She told of the noble
,ork being done here in training young a!
ives for christian work in every field, es
fhether at home or abroad.
Mrs. Wait earnestly urged the reading ,
f our missionary literature?especially
he Missionary Advocate, The Little y<
Vorker, and Our Homes. We cannot be n
atelligent missionary workers and neg- q|
set the study of our missionary literature.
The program Sunday morning was a o:
ery full one. The congregation assem- al
led early, and services were begun by a as
jve feast, conducted by Mrs. Herbert. w
he then gave the Sunday-school a talk
n temperance, after which Mrs. Wait
resented the home mission work to the fr
lrge congregation which had by this w
ime assembled, and organized a uome
lissions society at Jericho cliure' <-ith
fteen members. *c
The sermon at It o'clock by Rev. M.
V. Hook closed the pleasant and profir.ble
meeting of the Orangeburg district
lissionary societies. The next meeting
rill be held at Cope.
Death of C. J. W. Breland. n
The many readers of the Press and f(
Standard will doubtless be grieved to r<
mow of the death of C. J. W. Breland,
, native of Barnwell county, who has 11
ived in Colleton county, four and one- u
lalf miles west of Walterboro, since the t(
ear 1854. After an illness of about five w
nonths he passed into rest Thursday, P
Jay 15, at C. W. Brelaud's where he and a
Jrs. Breland have made their home since s
he 13th of February, their home being tl
turned at the time.
l\Ir. Breland was born at Buford's Bridge 6
Vpril 25, 1818. About two years later ts
lis father moved in sight of the Rivers'
bridge Memorial grounds. He professed s
aith in Christ and was baptised when he p
vas fifteen years of age. Nearly ever
;ince his connection with the church he tl
;erved as deacon. He was a devoted
Sunday-school worker. For about thirty t
rears he superintended the Oak Grove f
>undav-school.
During a forest fire some years ago the a
juilding was burned. He then showed t
lis sincerity and love for the school by a
jpening his residence to school, at which ?
place the Sunday-school continued until t
;he new school building was erected.
Three years ago, as he hud become very r
rged, it was necessary for him to resign.
Since this time he lived a very retired S
life. His entire life seems to have made 1
a. grand impression on the minds of those t
with whom he associated and his influence c
will live in the hearts and lives of those i
for whom he toiled.
He volunteered and went to the Florida t
war in 1830 with Captaiu Allen's com- t
pauy. From this time until the second
year of the war of Secession he was sec- J
ond lieutenant in the militia. He was
then elected corporal, but ranked as ser- ]
geant, in company 1 of the 11th regiment, 1
Col. A. C. Izard being captain of company.
At the battle of Drury's Bluff, Va., in 1864, i
he was painfully wounded and thereby
disabled for the rest of the war. t
Mr. Breland was so well known that
it is unnecessary for me to write at any i
great length. It is known, too, that he i
was one of the oldest men in the county, <
84 years and 10 days old when he died.
A few days previous to his death he be- i
came very weak both physically and men- ]
tally but even while in this half unconscious
condition, and though his suffering i
was intense, he never complained. But
on the other hand the prayers which he ]
continued to make made deep and lasting
impressions on those who were by his 1
bedside and heard them?such prayers as
only true Christians can utter. i
The burial service was conducted by
his pastor, the Rev. J. T. Hiers.?Walterboro

Ocala Demands. 1
The farmers assembled on the Ocala 1
ilatform this week, and after much dis- x
ussion of the needs and duties of Magis- J
rates, have formulated the following 1
uestions to be propounded to the various j
antfidates for Magistrate embraced in j
lie division of the county seat: i
1. Why do you want to be elected s
magistrate ? - ^
2. If elected will )Tou settle criminal 1
ases ? *
3. If compromised do you propose to ,
am over to the county any of the money? J
f so, what portion thereof ? *
4. Will you accept a raise of salary ? tJ
f so, do you intend to ask for it and work ^
tiat end?
5. If elected do you propose to work
p cases in order to benefit thereby ?
6. Will you send a negro to the chain
ang without trial ? If so, how long? "
7. Will you be impartial in all j'our
erdicts?
8. Would you find an innocent man
uiltyiust to send him to the gang?
9. Do you intend to use your office for *
olitical purposes? If so, in what way?
10. Will you keep a proper record of
11 your work as magistrate, subject to inaction
at all times and make your relrns
in accordance with law ?
11. Will you turn over all fines collect1
by you ? If not, what do you propose ?
) do with this money ?
12. If after you "have worked for a
lise of salary, would you hound'our
ipresentatives, and if they cannot give
, fight them on other grounds?
13. Will you file an oath in office of
lerk of Court, as required by law, that
ou will turn over all fines to" the county 1
easurer ? J
It was further decided to invite the
arious candidates for magistrate to come
own on the Ocala next Friday after- n
oon at 4 o'clock, then and there to
aswer each for himself the various quesons
and expostulate on the events of
le day, duties of officers, etc., as seemeth
lost fit for himself. We cordially invite |
ay and all to be present, and most *
specially the various candidates.
While this is for and only applies to
le Bamberg candidates for magistrate,
et we deem it proper to say that there is
0 patent or copyright on the above
uestions, and any one desiring to use any
r all of them for home consumption is F
1 perfect liberty to do so, and may rest n
ssured that the Ocala will not have a b
ord to say. But, however, if they should
e used in any place, otfc er than the place vi
om whence they originated, then we
ould kindly request those who may see j
ay merit in the same to report the effects
>getber with the workings thereof. j

Facts About the New County. t<
In view of the election to be held in
une on the question of establishing the 11
ew county of Allendale, we believe the ii
