SIDED OVER SESSION. FOUR
TEEN DELEGATES ELECTED
Entertain Teachers
SUPERINTENDENT AND MRS. W.
H. PARKS GIVE LOVELY AF
FAIR FOR TEACHERS OF Mc
CORMICK COUNTY
On Friday, April 29, Superintend
ent W. H. Parks and family, assist
ed by a group of young ladies, gave
to the teachers of McCormick
County, one of the most delightful
of outings at their lovely country
home near Plum Branch.
The scene of this happy occasion
was a very picturesque one, “Down
by the Old Mill Stream” .in a cool
pasture.
Every need of the guests had
been foreseen and prepared for be
fore our arrival. Boating and
fishing were enjoyed all during the
day, while many of us gave our
selves over to realization and
pleasant conversations.
The dinner was wonderful! There
were quantities of fresh fish fried
just right, corn sticks, sandwiches,
salads, pickles and so forth with
plenty of ice cold puncji, all day
long.
After the dinner was served
Superintendent H. H. Shiflet,
President of the County Teachers’
The Greenwood District Confer
ence of the Methodist church met
in the McCormick Methodist chutch
last Thursday. The Rev. P. F. Kil-
go, of Greenwood, presided over
the conference and the Rev. W. F.
Harris, of Saluda, served as secre
tary. •
During the day the conference
heard reports from the various en
terprises of the church. Dr. B. R.
Turnipseed, of Greenville, repre
sented the Superannuate endow
ment fund of the church. Dr. J.
C. Guilds of Columbia College
brought a good report from that in
stitution. The Rev. J. W. Speake,
president-elect of Lander College,
told of the work of Lander. J. R.
Unger, of Batesburg, and Dr. E. O.
Watson, of Columbia, represented
the church paper. B. W. Crouch, of
Saluda, spoke in the interest of the
Epworth Orphanage.
The reports from the 23 pastoral
charges of the district compared
favorably with the reports of other
years. In several instances the re
ports far exceeded the work of last
| year. This was true of the Train
ing of Sunday School teachers
which is under the direction of the
Rev. J. P. Patton and the Woman’s
Missionary Society work directed
by Mrs. J. C. Smith, of Waterloo.
A part of the business of the day
was the election of lay delegates to
the ensuing Annual Conference
which meets in Greenville Novem
ber 16th. Greenwood District has
14 representatives from the laymen
to this conference. They are: J. C.
Smith, B. W. Crouch, W. P. Rush-

ence will be held at Ninety Six.
