DIXON MEETING GREAT SUCCESS Was Brought to a Close Last Thursday Night. A LARGE ATTENDANCE Inauguration of President Robert Adams, of Clinton College, Takes Place Friday Evening. Clinton, March 24.?The meeting be ?un' by the Rev. Dr. A. C. Dixon last unday a week ago in Carolina Me morial Chapel, closed Thursday night. The impression made by Dr. Dixon was clearly shown on Thursday night. The chapel is designed to seat about a thou sand, but by using chairs the ushers seated many more than that. It is es timated that thore were fully fifteen hundred inside the building. Besides these, there was a large number that remained outside. The series of ser mons preached by Dr. Dixon were of remarkable character. Besides regular evangelistic services twice each day, at 11 a. m. snd 7:45 p. m., Dr. Dixon con ducted a special service formen on Sun day afternoon and a service for chil dren at 1:45 p. m. on Wednesday. At 10 a. m. and 3 p. m. every day'minis terial conferences were held, the var ious visiting ministers taking part. On Thursday afternoon a conference of college professors and Y. M. C. A. workers was held at 4:30 oiclock in the Baptist church. Numbers of men, prominent in religious and social move ments were in attendanco on the ser vices and conferences of the week. Lau rens sent a fine representation, among others Hon. C. C. Featherstone, Rev. Mr. Thayer, Rev. E. C. Watson and C. B. Bobo. Greenville was also ably represented, Revs. Dr. Cody and Dr. Poteat, who are among the prowinent leaders of their church in this State, being among the Greenville delegrtion. Newoerry also sent several able men, among them Revs. W?lling and Ran som, both of whom made addresses during the conference. These counties sent several representatives each. There were visitors present from a dozen other counties. The Rev. C. Lewis Fowler, pastor of the Baptist church, originated the idea of this gathering and he expressed the utmost gratification at the result. It is his hope to make this conference an annual event. The meeting resulted in many accessions to the different churches in Clinton and a decided quickening of their spiritual life. A very imposing event will be the inauguration of the Rev. Dr. Adams as president of the Presbyterian College of South Carolina next Friday evening. A number of prominent visitors will attend it and an elaborate ceremonial will be carried out. A good string band has been engaged for the occasoin and the co-eds will do their best to dec orate the college chapel where the ex ercises are to be held. It is expected that visitors from the surrounding towns will be in attendance. The Lau rens people especially will doubtless take a keen interest in the event. Among the visitors who are expected are the presidents of the other Presby terian colleges of the State, the Rev. Dr. S C. Byrd, of Greenville, and Miss E. E. McClintock, of Columbia. Dr. Henry Louis Smith, president of Da vidson College, will also be present and take part in the exercises. The Colum bia Theological Seminary will be repre sented by the Rev. Dr. McPheeters.
