Rev. G. P. Watson, of Manning. Is] here this week. He wishes it under stood that he is not "from Walter boro" .as was announced in this paper yesterday, not that he doc-s not think Walterboro is as good a place to be "from" as Manning or. anywhere else, but he happens - not to be located at that place this year. la I Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, of Chi cago,. superintendent of the eletnen tary work in the United -States, here this week and is delighting large audiences whenever she appears. She is. at home on any subject and can speak most instructively and en tertainingly whenever called upon, as she did yesterday. At St John's Methodist church yes terday afternoon a little four-year-old girl, wishing to attend the Elementary Conference, in order to .hear Miss 'Vandlver tell her "Parable," came In alone and unheralded, and spurning the. offer of. the ushers to find her a seat, proceeded to select one to .her Ilkmg in the rar~oTihe* Audltorl?tri. Soon messengers arrived to ascer tain if a "little girl dressed In blue" had ccnte is. Schrtly the littie lady's mother In great distress arrived, and a thorough search resulted in the discovery of the little tot quietly Bleeping. Miss Vsndiver failed to ap pear on the program, and this little lady made, known her disappointment by going to sleep. Recently when publishing the pro gram of the Convention, Miss Grace W. Vandlver was spoken of as ""the brains of the movement in south Carolina." We now wish to modify this and call her- do? "the heart of the movement." It is hard for many of her admirers and friends to find reconcilement, and they cannot un derstand why. "she. went and did It."

The speaker, who; is Termer president of the- association. **?t??t. that missionary work bet,an before the creation and would continue-after tbe world onded. He said it was the greatest of the world's businesses, and that those who did not favor mis sionary >rork I were ignorant of its real accomplishments. ^He said* its record Is its best asset. The Intel ligencer regrets that It has not space to reproduce In full today a report of this address which was mode by a stenographer for that purpose. The local committee under the chairman. Mr. F. M. Burnett, regis tered and sent to homes 2?? delegates up to last night, at fi o'clock and number of others came in subse quently. The registration office at the Y. M. C. A. was kept Vmsy . all day. Mr. Burnett Is proud of. Anderson, j but vhat's the ubo? j ^e came bere in September a strang ' er. to take charge of the Y. M.
