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

to St. Petersburg around Tamipa bay,
then on through miles of the ZMmorial

I think was the most interesting, not

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

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

General CoimIttee May Follow Suit.
Washington, Juno 16.-The subcom
mittee of the senate agricultural com
mittee will report the cotton futures
amendment of Senator Dial without
recommendation and it would cause
no surprise were the committee like
Wise to report it to the senate.
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.
The amendment would further re
strict cotton exchanges in delivering
any one of ton grades of deliverable
cotton to purchasers.

from valious cities of the South, es
pecially in Texas and Alabama, to ad
