we as a people are advancing along
most all lines, we have made somn
strides il the religious world as Bap.
tists, that are not to be ashamed of.
The minutes of forty years ago
show that only two ministers then in
the association are now living-D.
W : ' Hiott and F. R. McClanahan
and neither of them were pastors at
that time to any of the churches in
the' bounds of the association nor
are they now.
Only. four names appearing as
delegates from the churches are now
living so far as we know, -and only
one of them was present at this as

The officers then were W. B. Sin=

clerk,and J. Jameson, tr'easurer. W.
B. Singleton served the next year as
moderator, was re-elected at Six and
Twenty in 1886 and served to 1891.
The last sermon he- preached was at

J. Jamison was assistant clerk and'

1878, to 1883 when he was elected

J. B. Gaines, manager of the Lib
3rty club, today made the following
statement in regard to the Piedmont
textile League race:
"Liberty is well satisfied with the
ending of the Piedmont Textile
League. Of course we would have
been better satisfied with first place
but if justice had been given we
wouldl have run closer than we did.
"We finished in third place only
two games behind the winner.
"Liberty evened the games played
with other teams by dividing. We
played Brandon two games, winning
one and losing one, played Duncan
four, losing two and winning two,
two with Piedmont losing one and
winning one, defeating the old rivals
t( Easley three out of four. This
one game that Easley took this sea
son is the first game in several
years."'
