P One of the last services that BrothP
er A. J. Foster performed as pastor
of the Shandon church, Columbia,
P was to ordain Brother W. D. West to
the deaconate. This was also one of
. *
the best among his many good ser|
vices in the church. Brother Foster
found the Shandon church a mission
} station of the board. He leaves it
l with a membership of about 200 and
self-supporting. At the farewell serx
vice, which the church gave to the
retiring pastor and his wife, Dr. C.
E. Burts, in behalf of the church,
presented them with a beautiful silj
ver loving cup.?The Baptist Courier.

Rev. Mr. Foster was pastor of the
* Bamberg Baptist church about eight1
years ago. His friends are glad to
know that he is held in such high esteem
by the people of Shandon, and

"The Doctor," Feb. 29th.
!_ "THE DOCTOR," an amateur comc
ic drama in 3 acts, will be presented
in the high school auditorium TuesI
day night, February 29th.
"The Doctor" is a comic play in
a which wit and humor are most happiy
ly mingled. It has proved to be one
^ of the liveliest, brightest, and most
laughable plays ever produced.
The management has succeeded in
securing an especially strong personnel
of characters. Cliff Patrick is
playing in the role of Thomas Picton.
. the henpecked husband. "Tim" Fell
der and R. P. Bellinger are two fools
well met in the roles of Crumley
Chuggs and Napolean B. Plunker, respectively.

Woman's Missionary Society.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Woman's Missionary society, of
the Baptist church, on last Wednesday
afternoon, was highly gratifying
to our new president, Mrs. J. E. Newsom,
and our members have a grateful
nride in the work we are accom
plishing under our well organized:
plans.
Those taking part in the programme
were the president, as leader,
Mrs. M. E. Aver, Miss Pearle
Counts and Mrs. Aaron Rice. Each
read papers or gave talks on the subject,
"Latin America." A sacred vocal
solo was sung by Miss Counts,
with Mrs. Thomas as accompanist.
Envelopes were distributed for
contributions as a thank offering for
home missions. A meeting for prayer
and the reception of gifts to this
object was appointed for Wednesday
afternoon, March 18th.
The mission study class with its
fifty members meets on Thursday afternoon
of each week. Subjects
studied since its organization are:
"Missions," in Egypt and India.
Ask for our year book and secure
other literature and keep up with the
work even^ if duties sometimes keep
you from the meetings.?Contributed.
Prizes for Field Pay Events. i
The prizes for the various events 1
for field day, on the last day of the
Chautauqua, March 3rd, are now on (
display in the window of the Herald
Book Store. The prizes are both use- (
ful and valuable, and everyone contemplating
entering for any of the
events should see these prizes, which
are given by the merchants and business
men of the city. ^
- A large number of the schools of
the county have been enrolled to participate
in the field day exercises.
Those visited so far, and which have
promised to send representatives to
contest for the prizes, are as follows:
Denmark, Lees, Ehrhardt, Govan, ,
Olar, White Point, Salem, Clear Pond, *
Midway, Hydigger, Farrell's, Hun- <
ter's Chapel, Sassafras. In addition
to these, the Bamberg graded school
and Carlisle school will be well rep- .
resented, and it is hoped to enli3t
the cooperation of a good many more 1
schools yet.
Field day last year was a splendid ^
occasion, and it is believed that this ^
year it will be still better. Very few
schools were represented last year,
whereas most of the schools of the 1
county will this year send strong ?
teams to contest for the various ,
<
events. j
In addition to the regular individ- ,
ual prizes, a beautiful loving cup will ^
be awarded to the school making the ^
highest number of points. The win- ^
?%??? /? *-*till 4-V?io nnn nnfil
xiixig iscuuui win xoiaiu iuio i/uy uuvn
it is defeated by some other school.
The points are as follows: First J
place, 5 points; second place, 3 .
points; third place, one point. ,
Owing to the limited time, it is ,
probable that the committee will not .
be able to visit all the schools. Any .
school not visited may be assured .
that there was no intention to slight; .
but that it was not possible to pay .
it a visit.
?
The Automobile Parade.
The automobile parade, which is
the opening event of the three days' 1
Chautauqua, promises to be the pret- (
tiest and biggest occasion of the kind *
ever seen in this part of the State.
The committees are meeting with
much encouragement from the merchants
and automobile owners, and
many cars are being entered for the
event.
Two prizes are offered; one prize,
$10,00 in gold, is offered by the Peoples
Bank for the prettiest car in the 1
parade; and 3ir. (j. rranK jDainuerg (
offers a prize of $5.00 for the best
booster, or advertising car. Every
business house, enterprise, institution,
school, fraternal order, civic or
social organization or club is urged ^
to get out a car to boost and adver- ]
tise them in the big auto parade.
The parade will be headed by a j(
good brass band, the Chautauqua',
queen and her maids of honor. Mr,|]
W. D. Rhoad and Dr. George F." Hair ;
will be the marshals of the parade. J
The committees in charge hope to ,
make this a memorable event in the! j
history of the town. The automo- *
bile parade last year was undoubted- }
ly the prettiest thing witnessed in; j
Bamberg in many years. This year; ]
there is no reason why it cannot be ]
improved upon.

tnd care of the soil in order to grow
>otatoes and kindred crops. He alio
gave exhibitions showing how the
)otato is peculiarly adaptable to the *
Southern climate. In the opinion of
he speaker the sweet potato would
loon become one of the leading foodtuffs
the world over and gave exhi- /
litions to show how it could easily qk
