And meanwhile we hear that Mr. Duncan has rented his large plantation in Barnwell to Col. Lumpkin, of Columbia, lately a candidate for the United States senate. All Edgefield would be immeasurably rejoiced to get back the fair daughter she so ardently loves, and with her a gentleman who would be an ornament to our citizenship.?Edgefield Chronicle. There Is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to he incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to ; cure with local treatment, pronounced It in-1 curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a ! constitutional disease and therefore requires j constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh i Cure, manufacturer by F. J. Cheney <k Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure ! on the market. It Is taken Internallv in doses ' from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct- i ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it falls to cure. Send for circulars t-cKitIynon Address: F. J.

Mims.] The session of the twenty-fifth an-j nual convention of this organization, will close this (Tuesday) evening, j The present convention /is one of the' best if not the best, in the history of the work. There are present 58 del- j? egates and a number of visitors, ji Bamberg is a splendid town and then hospitality and kindness of the hosts j' and hostesses to their guests has j made the occasion a delighttul oneji from that standpoint. j Sunday afternoon Prof. J. C. I Guilds, of the Carlisle Fitting School! of Wofford College, delivered a very! inspiring address to the mass meet-j ing of young people, dealing with the j temperance question in its all around broad sense. Sunday evening Mrs. Emma Graves; Dietrick, of New York, delivered anji address, and a collection amounting j to $157 in cash and pledges was} taken. Pledge cards were distributed j by Mrs. J. M. Jennings, president 01 the local union, and a number of names were secured. Monday morning, the convention ' proper was called to order. The report of Miss Alice Shieder, of St. George, corresponding secretary, was read by Mrs. Dietrick, Miss Shieder having left the State recently for the Home Mission Training School in Nashville, Tenn. Mrs. T. R. Denny, of Johnston, made report as recording secretary and Mrs. Chas. P. Robinson, of Chapin, State treasurer, also made her report, a very encouraging one, showing advance in the financial condition of the organization. More than $500 was reported as being in the treasury, all of which is to be used to create sentiment, spread literature and bring in speakers who will help give up State wide prohibition at an early date. Fourteen hundred dollars have passed through the treasurer's hands this year. The following superintendents of departments made reports: Mrs. R. B. Cannon, Scranton, Medical Temperance; Mrs. Lena Smith, Leesville, Medal Contests; Mrs. J. L. Mims, Edgefield, Press; Miss Riley, of Paxville, for Miss Jessie Curtis, of Paxville, Home Missions; Miss Anna Fiunstrom, Columbia, Purity and Rescue; Mrs. C. D. Stanley, Columbia, Unfermented Wine at the Lord's Supper; Miss Jennie Pattison, of Edgefield, for Mrs. J. H. Tillman, of Edgefield, Temperance Literature; Mrc w r f!osrhurn. Edeefleld. Penal and Reformatory; Mrs. M. A. Carlisle, Newberry, was represented by recording secretary for department' of Sunday-schools; Miss Cleo Attaway, of Columbia, for. Miss Hattie Rushton of that city, State and County Fairs; Mrs. L. C. Rice, of Denmark, Social and Red Letter Days. The feature of the afternoon session was a most beautiful and inspiring address by the State president, Mrs. Joseph Sprott, of Manning. Among other things that Mrs. Sprott said was that the organization had been attacked by some as a Woman's Suffrage Association. She said this was not so, and that there was nothing in the constitution of the State or national organization in reference to this idea. The one requisite to become a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union is tck, sign the total abstinence pledge and pay the dues. There has been a large increase in the number of local organizations throughout the State +v> loot nnn iron firm nnd A lars'p OIJUV/U LUU xaov VV41? w ? number of new members have been secured. Another feature of the afternoon session was the question box, conducted by Mrs. Sarah L. Waite, of Conway. Mrs. Waite was the former corresponding secretary for the state of West Virginia, and by her intelligence and affection for the cause, has already won a place in the hearts of South Carolina White Ribboners. Monday evening there were brief presentations of the following departments of work: a paper on the Press and Literaturre by Mrs. J. L. Mims, of Edgefield; an address on "Alcohol as a Medicine" by Mrs. R. B. Cannon, of Scranton. This was one of the brightest and most attractive talks of the convention. Scientific Temperance Instruction in our schools and colleges, written by Mrs. Julia S. Nuttall, of Eddy Lake, Horry county, was read by Mrs. Sarah Waite. There are now in the hands of 25,000,000 school children United States text books on physiology containing latest scientific facts in relation to effects of alcohol and narcotics on the human system through the direct instrumentality of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Every state in the union now has a law requiring this teaching. The department of "alcoholic wine at the Lord's supper was presented -1- .* J A Dy Mrs. uieiricK wno sam iuai. a majority of the protestant churches of the United States to-day are using the unfermented grape juice, through the influence of this organization. The State president, Mrs. Joseph Sprott, announced that the $5.00 offered for the best essay on "the Value of Total Abstinence to a Life" had been won by Miss Hattie Barr, of Johnston. Miss Teak, of Laurens, received honorable mention. The $5.00 for the best essay offered by the State W. C. T. U. for the best essay on "Harm in a glass of beer" was won by Master Marion Wright of Trenton. Tuesday morning the most interesting feature of the program was the original way in which local unions had addvanced the temperance cause during the year. The election of officers resulted as follows: Mrs. Joseph Sprott, President; Mrs. J. L. Mims, vice president; Mrs. C. A. Waters corresponding secretary: Mrs. S. R. Denny, recording secretary; Mrs. Chas. P. Robinson. treasurer; Miss Ollie Mitchell, secretary Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union; Mrs. C. F. Pechman, secretary L. T. L. Tuesday afternoon the delegates to the national convention, which meets in Denver, Colo., were appointed as follows: Mrs. W. B. Cogburn and Mrs. N. M. Jones, of Edgefield. A very interesting ten minutes was spent in a parliamentary drill by Mrs. Dietrick. The convention closes this evening with an address by Mrs. Dietrick. Bamberg has brought to c herself glory by the kindness and unbounded hospitality to this body of women. Columbia has been chosen as the next place of meeting, on invitation from the delegates of that city. This notice should not be closed without mention of the addresses of .Miss Anna Finnstrom, of the Door of Hope, of Columbia, and Miss S. G.

'graded school opening. Prospects Bright for a Most Successful Year?Good Enrollment. The fall session of the Bamberg graded school opened last Monday morning. At about nine o'clock a large number of patrons and pupils were assembled in the auditorium, and the opening exercises were thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Thomas Black, member of the board of trustees, presided over the exercises in the absence of Mr. W. M. Brabham, chairman *of the board. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. T. G. Herbert, and Senator J. B. Black, Mr. Thos. Black, Mayor G. F. Hair, and Mr. G. P. Harmon made short addresses, also Principal E. Paul Allen. At the conclusion of the exercises the pupils were taken in charge by the various teachers and the work of forming classes begun. The assignment of teachers is as follows: PrineiDal E. Paul Allen?mathe matics and physics in high school. Miss Ruth Holman, Orangeburg county?Latin and English in high school. Miss Jessie Huey, Rock Hill?commercial course; also assistant in high school. Miss Beulah Wannamaker, Sumter ?seventh grade. Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, Bamberg? sixth grade; also some classes in fifth grade. Miss Ella Haskell; Abbeville? fourth grade. Miss Merdrue Francis, Blackstock, Chester county?third grade; also some classes in fifth grade. Miss Mary Bradham, Manning? second grade. Miss Mildred Beaty, Georgetown? first grade. An additional teacher will be employed, as it is.expected that the enrollment will be much larger this year than last, which will give our school a faculty of ten teachers. The enrollment Monday was two hundred, and this will be largely increased this week. This additional teacher will be selected in a few days, and will come and begin work at once. All the graded school teachers, with the exception of Miss Francis, are boarding with Mrs. Stella Bronson. After October 1st Mrs. Bronson will move to the house next door to the school, now occupied by Mr. Hv S. Steadman and family, who will move to Moselle, Colleton county. Miss Francis is boarding at Dr. Hair's. Principal Allen's family will arrive in a few days, and he will occupy the residence of Mr. W. E. Spann. This will place the principal and teachers near each other and close to the school. The Result in Barnwell. Barnwell, Sept. 10.?Complete returns from Barnwell county. Smith 1,541; Evans 536.
