Thc first one was held Wednesday in hon or of the twenty-four white soldiers who were to leave for camp next morning. These soldiers and the au dience which filled the courrt house were addressed by Messrs. W. E. Findley, who presided; Sam B. Craig, J. P. da'ey, Jr., E. P. McCravey and Rev. E. T. Hodges, all of whom made excellent and encouraging talks. Comfort bags and .razors were also presented to the boys. Supper was also served them in the court house grove. A large crowd was at the de pot Thursday morning to say good bye. The meeting for the fifty-five col ored soldiers was largely attended by members of their race and white peo ple. As at all the other meetings, "America" was sung at the beginning of this one and the negroes knew it just as well as the white folks and I sang it better. They made that old court house ring vith it. Rev. John C. Gibbes, pastor of the colored Meth odist church here, presided and made a short talk. The white speakers were Rev. E. T. Hodges, J. P. Carey, Jr., and E. P. McCravey, all of whom made their usual good speeches. Com fort bags, made by negro women, and razors given by the white men of the town, were presented the soldiers, af ter which they were given a big sup per in the court house grove. This is the first contingent of negro soldiers called from this county and there was much enthusiasm shown by that race. A large crowd was also at the depot Friday morning to see them off. Three contingents of white soldiers totaling 113 men have now been sent to the army from Pickens county, which with the fifty-five colored men, makes a total of 168 from this coun ty besides. those who volunteered. Following are the names of the twen ty-four white soldiers who left. Pickens for Camp Andrew Jackson at Columbia, October 4: Grover Harrison Galloway, Pickens r 5 .John Archic Drake, Easley.

McCollough, who is yonger mnn. is in jail, County Singing Con vention Met at Zior The Pickens County Siining conven tion met with the church at Zion, fou miles below Easley, Saturday and Sun day, October 6 and 7. Some of th< very best singers in the county were or hand and did their full share in making the meeting a success. Not so many were present on Saturday, but Sunday a very large congregation was present and the best of behavior was the order of the day. In fact, everybody who could get into the house seemed to want to get in to enjoy the music, and many stood inside the house, in the doors and even on the outside and listened atten tively to the sweetest songs of Zion, At 12 o'clock the sitnging ceased and the congregation listened to Rev. H. C. Bedford, president of the Wesleyan College at Central, as he delivered one of the most beautiful addresses on music that it has ever been my privilege to hear. Brother Bedford is a cultured, consecrated, christian gentleman. Prof. McD. Weams of Rome, Ga.,was present both days and rendered gl-eat help. The convention would not be complete without Brother Weams. He helped to organize it about 17 years ago. He is now in Georgia, writing and publishing song books, also teaching normal music schools. While we lis tened someone remarked. "No one can beat Weams singing." Zion people entertained the conven tion royally. We want to go back to Zion again very soon. The pastor, Brother Hughes, with Bro. John P. Lesley and Bro. Louie Ballentine, made everybody feel at home. Then there was "Little John" Lesley with his big heart and a smile on his face, hidding everybody welcome. We all felt at home and we had a real spiritual Feast. Such singers as King, Bolding, Rig. gins, Stokes, Rampey, (rane, Smith, the Bakers, Bagwell and others too numerous to mention would make any convention a success. Vistront.
