The Work of the Lord Has Prospered in the Hands of Our Baptist Friends During the Year Just Closed. All the Interests of the Church in a Healthy Condition. The Warfare Against Sin and Immorality to be Continued With Renewed Zeal. | Tbis b )dy held its forty-seventh session in the Baptist church at this f place, beginning last Thursday, the 16th and closing Saturday, the 18th. From the amount of work done, the orderly and busiuess-like manner in which it was carried on, the charac* ter of the speeches and the spirit with which they were delivered one would very properly conclude that this was one of the very best sessions in the history of the Association. It is the general impression that the outlook for Baptist in the denominational work in Horry coun ty was never brighter. In the absence of the former Mod- < eracor. J P Derham, who was at : home sick, C P Quattlebaum was chosen Moderator, J W Jordan, Clerk and J C Spivey, Treasurer. By special appointment Rev T H < Harrison preached the introductory sermon. After which E H Burroughs < made a very suitable address of wel- : come. ' In the afternoon the report of the Executive Committee was read and < . referred to a special committee for f careful consideration. The subject < i of Bible and Colportage work was dis \ " cussed by Dr J S Dusenburv and James M Mitchell, a former Principal of the Burroughs Graded school, \ who is now Field Editor of the Baptist Courier, of Greenville, S C. L>r A J Hall, recently elected i President of Coker College for Wo- i men at Hartsville, S C., made an address on Christain Education in gen- ; m . eral and Coker College in particular ; in which he made the statement that Coker College is the only college for wromnn in t.hfi State that has an en dowment?and that the pupils pay about only one fourth of the cost of their education. There are ten young 1 ladies from Horry County in this school. Rev. W. E. Wilkins made an in9 spirational address on the Laymen , Missionary Movement, and the Association appointed a committee of | five, viz: J. A. McDermott, J C. Spivey, , W. J. Hendricks, Luther Hardee C. M. Reaves, M J Bullock, and J. P. Derham, to represent this movement in our county. The members present, held a meeting at once 1 and decided to endeavor to raise the , balance of the six hundred dollars the convention asks of us for State HJI? . ! 1VJ 1SS1UUS. At the night session S. School work was discussed by W. A, Priuce ( ^ and in this connection a report on Institute work prepared by J. C. , Spivey, was read. The report on State missions was read and discussed in a carefully pre pared speech by Rev T H Harrison, of Green Sea. It was a matter of | regret that Dr W T Derieux, secretary and treasurer of our State ( Board could not be present, as expected, on account of sickness, but ( Rev W E Wilkins represented the j work in an admirable speech. Just | at this point a complaint was laid in against the work of the board in our , bounds because its representative, , Dr VV J Bangston went to the strong- ] er churches and not to the weak and , needy pi ices. In the discussion that j for owed it was made to appear from 4 personal testimony that the board ( was helping weaken places and that, , too, everv one that had asked for , aid. The object in visiting the i stronger c hurches was to induce them < A -I ? aL f ? 1 1 /I 11 4 t? ? M n AriiniiM /v 4 U/v IrO UU LUtMl" mil UUUJf 111 UCmiUUllJ^ Hit) j weak ones, not only so but to induce them to help every other good cause such as the orphanage, aged ministers, missions, etc. It was asserted by one of the speakers that some of the weakest points may be found in some of the churches strongest in numbers and wealth, even in willingness to help the weak. In thoir report, after very careful consideration the committee on report of executive committee most heartily endorsed both the ^ work done and the policy hitherto pursued by the committee, and rec.4 ommended that an evangelist be put in the field for all his time but if the State Board could not see its way elear to do this that they do so much as they can of this work. An excellent report on foreign missions, submitted by J 0 Spivey, was read. The report was discussed by W E Wilkins and J O Spivey. After Foreign Missions, the work of B Y P U was considered. By special request W C Allen, pastor at 11 Latta, addressed the Association. His speech on the conservation of our spiritual resources was eloquent, elegant and ? ffective. Tbe report on Orphanage work was prepared and read by C H Suider, who also introduced the Superintendent of Connie Maxwell Orphanage Rev A T Jamison. After a touching talk he asked a practical and homely question very seriously. "Brethren, have you any potatoes?" TT - A ? II ? .1 A. A 1. . 1 no lens us tnub iub crup uu i>uu ur? phanage farm was almost a failure and would like to have some, whereupon, t'oen and there, many pledges for potalo^s were made. At their noon hour Friday the missionary sermon was preached by Rev J E Edwards, after which an offering in cash and pledges was taken for State Missions amounting in all to $156.00 leaving only about $44 00 of the amount asked for by Stato Convention to be raised At the afternoon session messengers from the VVomans' Missionary Society of the Waccamaw Association were received and welcomed by the Moderator. A report on Womans' work was made and also an ex cellent address by J E Edwards. Early in the session the committee on Digest of Letters called attention to the fact that thirteen churches, members of tnis body, desired letters of dismission to form a new association to be known as the Carolina Missionary Bapti.-t Association. A committee of live was appointed with R. O. Hendricks as chairman to take the request under advisement and make recornraenda- ( tion to the association at subsequent ~ ? - -? rp V* i rv. ti4<\n r n ' /I 4t 4?% r\ lllCc*?ug. j. ui? ui.hijiuiiu:u btiiu *uawhile they could not endorse either the spirit or wisdom of the move yet in recognition of the right of the ; churches to withdraw they would recommend that letters be granted. , The reason the Association hesitated in granting the request of these ; churches was that it was known that the move was an emphatic procst against an educated mini-try and the methods of Mission work iu our , Association. Saturday morning found still a , goodly number of delegates in attendance, an. unusual occurrence, to , bear Dr C C Brown, of Sumter, talk about the aged ministers. This he . did in a very practical and pathetic ( way?as he told of the trials of the ] aged ministers and their needs not a few wot eyes were to be seen. H < B Holmes read the report on aged ministers. W J Langston, J C Spivev, J P Derharn, R O Hendricks and W D ( Watson wore elected an Executive Committee for next year C H Snider, Hudson Russ, C P Quattlebaum, J P Derharn and W J Hendricks aud others were chosen < delegates to the State Convention < which meets at Greenwood Decern- i ber 5th, next. ... i W J Langston was elected associaou il delegate to th i S >utrio/ n llip- i tist Contention which meets next May in Oklahoma.

The query was: "Resolved that the government would be better if women were allowed to vote."

A M Dussnburv, Miss Martha Singleton and Bel ton Dusenbury werp the j'idges and after carefully considering the points brought out decided In favor of the negative. Among other things Miss Maggie Oliver said that any fair minded man would admit that the government of South Carolina would be better in the hands of Mrs Mary T Nance Daniel than to t>e governed by the present incumbent, Cole L Blease, who was totally unfit to govern our proud Palmetto State.

High School Principals and Teachers All high school teachers teaching my of the sciences, especially physiology, botony, physical geography, and ohvsics are urged to require all pupils in these subjects to keep note aooks and to record in them every Db-crvation and experiment. To do this will add greatlv both to the valjo of the study and the interest in it. To pursue the study of any sc'ence in this way cultivates in pu ptIs tbe spirit of investigation, the aabifc of industry and the ability bo draw safe conclusions. Besides, no better oomposit'on work could do devised than writing the notes of i field trip or an experiment, It requires only a lit-tlo inte'ligent guidance by the teacher to out pu 3iks m the way to success, The bejinnings ma ? be crude; if so, it is ill the more evident that such work jught to be done. Success will ioine, if tho teacher is persistent, ;actful and able to jruide. It is a i vork in which teacher and pupil can ifTord to work together. Much dejonds upon the spirit of the teacher. I should be pleased to confer with my teacher in planning such work >r in getting reports of his success. Fraternallv, W F Hand, State High School Inspector.
