My Impression and the Beai By Mrs. J. On May 17th a -party of men and Women left the good old town of Lau Iens to attend the Southern Baptist convention which met in Jackson ville, Including dates May 17-22. Wo left here at 9 a. m. and mado the trip In eleven hours, arriving there at a p. Im., and found, numbers of autoino Jbiles at the station, having the words -"Hop in Baptists" printed on the windshield. The stores -and all the (places of business had the same slo gan printed on their windows and in driving around the parks and even the lakes, you would see a large placard "'Qop in 'Baptists". The inen held their services in the Billy 'Sunday tabernacle, 'while the women met In the big 'auditorium of the armory which would seat over 3,000 people and was comforta-bly filled at every service. After the first service of our meeting in the armory we stopped by 'tho trbernacle and found that build Ing crowded to the limit, ana a.s we looked on that mass of more than 6,000 people we realized what a host of Baptists there are in our Southlaild. llere I was reminded of one of Dr. Ferguison's witty remairks rwshen he said "The Baptists of Laurens were like IEnglish rgarrows, in that they were about to take the tOvn." - The magnltudo of the work was shown at tle evening service On T'hursday 1.41hen '18 new missionaries were presented to the con vention and will go out to different countries this summer; amon-g this number were two of our own younl :)eo)le, Nir. anid Mrs. J. D. Watts, who will go to Palestin. On the next evenin'l two ilore cf our young people, 'MeFss. Frank and James MeCCravy were rccognlitzed h fore this body and swi'otly saig that wondCfull hynin, ".oe of God's D.lys". As our time was :noewhat limited and ris we v.ished to see scm.ie of t -bcaiutics of lorida we gave uip t-lie last. sessions of the convention and :.ceel ed the invitatic-n of Mr. -rA Mds. lir mnonld Jone1s (whom mtany will rc:m 1b1 as visitors in our city a yeatr or .o ago) and diovo out to Fablo ieachi, about 22 miles from Jacksonville.

As far as you can see is'this glistciiig, hard, and wvnderful sand houlevard, :olid ly-lacked by the tidal waves rolling over It each day. Th'is1 l nature's speedway and automobile races, with thrills, the kind that makes big head lines in newsmp'ers, are held' here.

Crisp's hospitaality and went- with him to the Iolly' 1111 Groves on thle sconic ihills :of 'avenport'. Our attention was at 'tracted by the thousands of acres of' 'rna-gni~flcont 'groves, beauti ful dlrives ~nd crystal lakes .of this iidge section.

The drive from here to St. Petersburg around Tamipa bay, then on through miles of the ZMmorial highway, lined on either side with whitu and pink oleanders, is beautiful beyond descripton. Ths is rightly named the "Sunshine City," where every scene is a picture, one qf the most perfect all year around -play grounds and pleasure resorts in Flo rida. 'he only city on the east coast swe visited wias St. Atgustine, which I think was the most interesting, not only on account of its an antiquity and historical structures, but its location on beautiful 'Matanvas lay is perfect Ily lovely. North Beach fronts the bay directly opposite the northern portion of the city, while the green folinge of Anastasia Island faces the southern partlon of 'the city f'rom across the Loy. The inlet intervenes between the island and the beach and one can see the white caps of the Atlantic through this opening. They tell us that whon New York was an infant and Broadway a country road, St. Augustine was an ancient ecity. S-3he has been under the the In dian, 'Foanish, E-nglish and American rule, and therefore many lann'iark.I and shrines contribute to her interest lng hietory. 1any relics of great his torlcal value, as respectsi the early dis covery of Amerlcn, have been uaith ed In tihe Inst fifteen years, on thc Foltniain (;f Youth 1 tiate, and the leep(er of the chapel shmowved u a catitli me fade of steel and copper 'which was unearthed while' digging, out the stump of a large palmeutto Ire-.

To ny mind the most i ::resting landniarki Is Fort 'MarioI. 1-uilt of coquina, sonic kind of shw' and rock composition, foun( alo:: that coast. This wonder ful sirm ture, overlooking bay and oce'., was begun in 1690 and com Sr "'d In 1756, at a cost of thirty mll of dollars. It is a preserved * C' .nen of Spanish military archi tecture with many dungeons and sub, terranean passages, and as we were taken through these dark, vierd dun geons, the guide would. turn on the lights t') shov us Where the Indiam and other iwsoners were tortured, be fore death. Indeed we myere gla( enough to goet 'it of these grim places and as we stood and looked again across the !bay at the charms of si, Augustine, we were made to feel that all the world is beautiful, and only man is vile.

The members of the committee in lothor 'words, are apparently adraid either to approve an amendment which the farmers approve or to turn down ,an amendment which the cotton ex changes insist must be .turned down. Senator ',DIal said this 'afternoon that he has asked the committee to send his amendment to the senate im mediately. le feels confident that when action regarding it must be taken in the light, its opponents will Ibe oxce)tionally few. Senators from cotton producing states who are men bers of the committee are Smith of South Carolina, IHarrison of Missi3 sippi, Ileflin of Alabama, Ransdell of Lou-isiana and Caraw-ay of Arkansas. Ransdell, who openly defends the exchanges of -Nov Orleans, is the only member who has admitted his opposi tion.
