The weather with some little ex ception has been ideal, and we venture the assertion that the Convention has novi r had a more harmonious and delightful meeting in its entire his tory than that which is now closing, and that GalTney has never before displayed more general, wholesouled, big-hearted hospitality than that which she has lavished upon her guests during the past week. Every home has stood wide open to our dis tinguished visitors, every hand has been ready and every heart willing to minister to their comfort and pleas ure. Every family has thought that it entertained the pick of the ( on\ en- tion, and every delegate has thought that he hfid the best of the homes. It has been a week of congenial, con vivial, delightful intercourse, during which old friendships have been re newed, and new attachments have been formed which will make life dearer, nobler, and happier through many years to come. We are prouder of (lalfney and its people than we have ever been before, and we feel sure that their generous kindness and hospitality have not been lavished on unappreciative visi tors. The crowds who left yesterday and the crowds who will leave, will long cherish in their hearts grateful remembrances of the occasion and its pleasures. The Ledger makes its bow today to our people and to our distinguish ed visitors and wishes them all the happiness ever allotted to mortals in t ids world. ^ e, too, have done our best. We promised a daily edition and we haven given it. hither sve have made it as attractive as full, and as interesting ns it might have been made we leave our readers to judge. We have worked hard, and if we have made anything like a suc cess we owe it in a large measure to the generous co-operation of friends, to whom we wish iiere to give some expression of our appreciation and gratitude. Hut for that help we should have failed in our undertak ing. We wish to express our thunks and grateful appreciation to these friends by name, and to assure them that their generous kindness will not soon be forgotten. In the first place The Ledger is under lasting obliga tions to our highly efficient and ac complished stenograph. r. Miss Em mie Sams of our own town, for her admirable reports of the proceedings of the Convention. She was by her table day and night, and for ac curacy and expedition her reports could not have been excelled. Then Jtev. V. I. Masters, the field agent of the Jiuptist Courier and the wonderfully facile and vigorous cor respondent of that paper, gave us the full benefit of his fertile brain and tireless pen in his Convention Scintallations. His invaluable as sistance will be long remembered with heart-felt appreciation. Rev. 15. 1*. Robertson is entitled not only to our thanks, but to the thanks of the entire community for his ceaseless activity and tireless zeal in pushing along preparations of every kind, and in systematizing the efforts of our people to make it pleas ant for the Convention and to do the honors of the town. He stood squarely by The Ledger and worked for the success of the Convention and the honor of the town with an energy that neither slumbered nor slept. The editorial writer for this paper, as well us an appreciative public, is under many obligations to H. R. Osborne, E q.. tho talented and ris ing young member of the Gaffney bar, for the chaste, beautiful and vigorous editorials that adorned (lie paper during the week. ]5ut for his timely and generous aid the edito rial columns could not easily have been filled. Hut we realize that when we under take to mention all who bore an im portant part in making the Conven tion a success, we have undertaken an almost endless task. Every citi zen in town, so far us we know, did his part and did it well. W't inten ded to mention only those immedi ately connected with The Ledger. Among those who were not so imme diately connected we know of no one who rendered more efficient and faithful services than Dock Lavender, who pulled the lever on the dummy engine, and carried his passengers day and night carefully and safely to and from Limestone. He was always on time, and throughout the week he was to be found continually at his post. We are sure, too, that the crowds that were here highly appre ciated the liberality of Mr. J. A. Car- roll, who controls the road, in provid ing such an accommodating schedule. We have still a list of names which we must not omit, for they are worthy to be mentioned along with those who did the most. Few read ers stop to think of the cure and labor bestowed upon every word that stands out on the printed page—that somebody has handled it letter by let ter—that somebody has read the proof with an eye searching for errors —that somebody has stood by the press for hours watching every move ment—and that from the manuscript to the printed page every word and eyery letter has been an object of con tinued care and anxiety. If our readers could fully realize all this they would have no disposition to withold honor and praise from the faithful and efficient boys who have set the types and worked the presses in The Ledger office, during the week that is pa*t. They have stood at the cases during all the long hours of the nights and not one of them has flinched, or faltered, or complained. The public should Know the names of Sam Hopper, Floyd Haker, Luther Sherrill, Will Doty, Will Darby, An drew Griffith and Edwin Nelson. We could extend this article al most indelinitely, but we mustdesist. The Convention is over. Many of our guests left yesterday and last night and nearly all will leave today. There is at least one home in GalTney about which there is something like sadness as we write and at least one heart over which hangs a shadow of something like bereavement. It is a shadow cast by the departure of true and tried friends, by the sudden ter mination of a sweet communion with the true, the noble, the beautiful, and the brave. They have hurried away to take up again toe burdens of life and as we set musing over their departure, the words of Mrs. llemuns are sounding in our ears: “Thru* is no union iiuiv of hoarts Which hath not here an end.*’ W hile ihe business of the Conven tion is practically at an end, the for mal adjournment of the body will not be until to-night, after the ser mon by Dr. D. M. Ramsey. It is hoped that the delegate attendance will be good. CONVENTION scintillations. Today the pulpits of the churches of GalTney and many surrounding places will be occupied by ministers from the convention. * * * (Juite a number of the Convention delegates and visitors left for their homes yesterday, they should not have done. ifl ifa Which thing The many Convention people who have visited Limestone College ex pressed pleasant surprise at the ro- markable development and signs of prosperity there. Especially were they pleased with the handsome ne.v auditorium which is nearing comple tion. * * * Dr. C. 1’. Ervin and Rev. A. T. Jamison, the clerks of the Conven tion, do their work well. They are both popular with the Convention. * * * The venerable Dr. W. D. Rice, the president'of the distinguished body of Christian workers who have met at the city hall through the week, is a native of Barnwell county and an alumnus of Columbian Uoiveristy Washington. He preaches to churches in his native country. He makes a capital presiding officer, and be is much beloved by those over whom he wields the gavel. * * * The Rev. T. H. Plcmtnons, the pus- tor of the Abbeville Haptist church, is a bachelor. He is enjoying the Convention and seems to be enjoying the society of the young ladies whom he meets. For Mr. Flemmons is a bachelor. Ho is a good preacher. The city hall hos proven itself to be well adapted to the use of a relig ious Convention. The room is lunio and the seats are comfortable and the ventilation adequate. * * {:• The excellent music which has been so faithfully and satisfactorily fur nished by the large chorus at the Convention reflects credit on Prof. W. L. Johnson, chairman of the mu sic committee, Prof. Wade R. Brown, who instructed, Jed and directed the chorus, and upon all the singers. All of them have the thanks of the large audience which lias assembled from time to time. * * Hon. Joel E. Brunson, who was the nominee of the Prohibition party for the governorship in the lust cam paign, and is one of the vice-presi dents 'of the convention, is a very well known man among the Baptists. He is a prominent layman, a man of line spirit and a very successful busi ness man. * * * Mr. George H. Edwards, a strong young lawyer of Darlington, is a use ful and respecltd member of the Con vention. Tho enterprise of Tho Ledger in is suing a daily during the meeting of the Convention is unique in the his tory of this and other religious meet ings in South Carolina. Tho minis ters and delegates speak of the enter prise in high and complimentary terms. Some of them who have run papers themselves express surprise at a semi-weekly paper being able to turn itself into a creditable daily any time it is needed. The Ledger appre ciates their good will. It is because The Ledger is a hustling, up-to date paper. * * * The visitors to our city express themselves as pleased an surprised at its remarkable growth and public spirit. * * * Dr. C. 0. Brown, tho humorist of the Baptists, maneuvered a hat collection for Ministerial Education. In so doing he kept the audience in a continual run of amusement. His address was highly enjoyed. ¥ * * The Rev. Dr. D. M. Ramsey read a report on temperance last night in which he opposed, First, open bar rooms; Second, the dispensary, though he prefers tho latter to the former. With legislative prohibition he dealt in a judicial way, answering objections and favoring it. He be lieves “prohibition does prohibit” where it has a fair trial. * * * The meeting of the State Baptist Convention in our city has been a blessed tiling for it. To every section of the State will go out representa tive people who have enjoyed its hos pitality and impressed with its beau ty, healthfulness and promise. The trains to-morrow will take away the last of the convention visi tors. They will take with them to their homes the well wishes of their hosts and of GalTney. How natural it is for a speaker to think his speech a good one, no limi ter what he has to say. The pose of the average speaker proclaims this. “There is something about that man which makes it impossible for me to like him. Can you tell me what it is?” “Yes, the gas he moves in.” * * * Tho Convention Is a gathering place for good looking widows, upon the hypothesis doubtless that “where the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together.” * * * When a speaker is anxious to carry bis point in the Convention, be is apt to grow very pious over it, and parade his piety in his speech. * * * It is a misfortune for a preaches to form the conceit that he is very hand- S' idc. No conceit will “ooner make a Si fool of a fellow. This reporter can t roduce "living pictures” in proof of I ids statement. In consonance with tills statement we have barely to mention a Charleston pastor and Hrotber F. C. Hickson, as wo 11 known and often remarked upon in the city of GalTney. * * * Rev. R. C. Puele is hero reporting doubt lets for Peele’s Periodical. The said Periodical has appeared two or three times once last summer and will perhaps appear again. The ed itor nays it will make itself too common if it is published too fre quently. •V. .V. A. The Convention visitors speak most highly of the GalTney hospitali ty, and many of them consider it one of tin* best Stutt? Conventions he'd for years, and all considered it llit- most enj >yable. * * * The number of ladies and the num ber of laymen attending the Conven tion are unusually large. * * * There are 25G delegates at the Con vention, and enough visitors to bring the total up to at least d00‘ * «• *• The reporter has sometimes ob served that it is sometimes the case that the lest a man knows about a subject the more he can say cbout it. ¥ ¥ ¥ Some brethren in this Covention poured out their shot before their gun fired, judging by the execution done. Some of the powder used has been shot before. Dr. Hatcher’s eagle, with his feet on the Rocky Moun tains. the tip of his wings in the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, his beak in the Atlantic and his tail in the Pacific is dead and should be buried. ¥ * ¥ Peele’s Periodical is still a candi-* date for public patronage in a limit ed degree. It is now skirmishing with the Post Office department to secure second rate rates, but the pro duction is so small that the depart ment can not sec it. * * * The Rev. \V. A. Pearson, of the Convention, is a native of Virginia. He was pastor at Rock Hill for a time six years since. After that he preach ed at Bluefielii, W. Va., a lovely city of 8 000 souls nestled in beauty on the slopes of the Allegheneys. He is now preaching at Eliesee, in Or angeburg county. Mr. Pearson is a good preacher and possessed of much scholarship and refinement. A Kclii.litrrtlilp for tin .V <1. II. S. Dr. Lodge, of Limestone, has granted a scholarship to the North Greenville High School. The schol arship includes literary tuition and twenty-gve per cent, of price of board. This makes tho fourth scholarship established at North Greenville since Principal Peterson took charge of the school lust year—one in Furman University, one in the Greenville Female College, undone in the North Greenville High School. The school has trebled its enrollment within a year. It has one representative at Limestone this year, but will prob ably increase this number in the future. Principal Peterson returns the heartiest thanks to the Limestone au)horitics for their kindness. THE LAST WORK OF THE CONVENTION It Will Adjourn After To- Night’s Service. TO MEET IN NEWBERRY. Tin; Ki!|iort of t hi! ('iiiiiinil ti 1 !' ou Obltiiiirii;H --Several of ttii! Most Excellent anil Vsilti- uhli! Workem In the .WiiHler'H Vineyard Have Keen Called to a IliKlur Work. The devotional exercises of thirty minutes yesterday morning were con ducted by Mr. H. L. Riley. The minutes of Friday’s sessions wore road and approved. The subjects for the morning were transposed so that the work of the Sunday School Board might be pre sented first, thus allowing Doctor Frost, President of the Board, to take the vestibule train, which he very much desired to do. A report of the committee on obit uaries was rea.l by J. W. Perry. The death roll this year is not so long. Several of the most excellent and valuable workers in the Masters vineyard have this year been pro moted to a higher and more glorious service. The names mentioned were : Thomas \V. Mellichamp, age SO years, lie was born at Charleston, and entered the ministry at the age of twenty-six. It is worthy of note that ho ended his work as pastor of the church where that work was be gun fifty years before. It might be truly said of him, “He was a living epistle known and read by all men.” John S. Croxton was stricken in the pulpit in the midst of IPs ser mon, and died two days later in the sixty-eighth year of his ago. Mr. Groxtcn was one of the- leaders among the Baptists of this State As a preacher he was arnest, faith ful, instructive, and t ,c people heard him with delight. Rev. Tillman It.

Mr. Perry stated that be hud been unable to give a full report us he hud been unable to secure tho necessary material, und asked to be permitted to complete tbo report before submit ting it for publication. J. C. Maxwell, John D. Robertson and li. Vaughn wore names to be add ed to the list. So report was made by the Sunday School board us tho committee was not present, but Dr. Frost made an address on this work, of the marked favor which God lias given it and the marked way in which He has shown His guide. Dr. Frost’s address proved that he had this work very near to his heart, that, as he stated, he believes it to be God’s work, and that He had put him in it. Dr. Frost spoke of the heavy loss sustained in the death of Dr. Samuel Boykin, Editor of “Kind Words.” WLatj a glorious work, editing kind words! Worman’s Work. Tho report of the central comniitte was read by Rev. I. W. Wingo, who made very kind remarks about the work of the women. Several others made short talks of the excellent work done by the Woman’s Missionary Societies. The amount spent this year for all the objects fostered by them is $12ti. % more than that used last yiar. The report of the board ou tho aged minister relief fund was read by it. v. J. I). Huggins. Mr. C. 0. Brown made an appeal to the people in behalf of the aged servants cf the Lord. Mr. .1. G. Car ter, one of the benefidarh s of ibis board was present and introduced to the convention. Dr. Thomas spoke pleasantly of the work of the treas urer of this board, telling of the go >d cause for rejoicing Mr. Brown has in being ur'ed of the Lord in tins | work. A collection was made for this amounting to SjlffiJ hi. The report of the committee < vision of the constitution was read by Dr. E. S. Forrester and discussed. Adjourned until 7 :!»<>. Ilvenliif; neMtioii. Tbo evening service was opened with song and prayer, followed by a solo by Mrs. Westrope, which was a rare treat to the Convention. The tirst subject for eonsid* ration was Ministerial Education. Tho re port was read by Mr. J. U. Blanton for Mr. Ezell, Chairman, and was adopted by the Contention, There was an appeal from Mr. Langston for the students of the University who talks by Messrs. Huggins, Ramsey and others on this question. Pledges were taken to the amount of WOO!) 00. + Doctor Ramsey made a report on Temperance, preceded by a black board illustration, showing in pro portion the amount spent for intoxi cating drink; During the lust ten years the liquor trufie has increased four times, and vice lias increased five times. The South Carolina dis pensary deals out over a million dol lars wortli of liquor annually. In thirty-three months the State made nearly a million dollars profit out of this traffic. The report as read by ( Dr. Ramsey was adopted. The question was a serious one and tiiere were several earnest talks upon it. The committee on revision of the constitution concluded its report and was adopted as a whole. The time for the meeting of the Convention was changed from Wed nesday evening before the first Sun day until Friday evening before the ! second Sunday in December. THE LADIES’ MEETING. liitcrcHliiif- I’nirveiliiiKs of tiio Work of (•o<i'H Women. The Woman’s Missionary meeting l was field in the Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon at 2:510, the President presiding. Devotional txer- cises were conducted by the beloved Miss BucM. After the business, a condensed report of the Vice-Presi dent was read by Miss Wilson, show- ! ing an increase of interest in the work, new societies formed, and faith- I f'ul earnest work done by the Vice- ^ President of t be stale. The subject of “associalional ! meetings, their purpose, when to j hold them and how to conduct them,” i was responded to by well pro pan d t papers /rom Mrs. McDowell, Vico-; President of Fairfield Association j and Mrs. Livitzer, Vice-President of j Saluda Association.

When close to God we are close to one another. “Love one another even as I have loved you,” is one of tho Sa viour’s commands. Sweet and com forting thought, that in our mission work wo are emulating our Saviour, proving our love by a ministry of ser vice. We indeed feel that we are a favor ed lot of delegates to have our lot cast among such free-hearted, noble Christian women. May our meeting together be of mutual benefit, stimu lating us to greater exertion, arous ing in us a desire to be steadfast, im movable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. May many date from tins meeting a resolve that whatever our hands find to do do it with our might, and to do it heart ily as unto the Lord. In all humbleness and sincerity, and in full belief of the linal glorious triumph of our Lord and ins king dom. Let us give over into His keep ing our annual meeting, asking for guidance and direction in all things, and may He overrule all done and said unto the hastening forward of the coming of our King ana Saviour Jesus Christ our Lord.
