Childs, with eight members and eight visitors pres ent. Mrs. L. C. Rich, president, presided, and after the usual pre liminaries, introduced Mr. W. W. Childs who gave a splendid talk on Conservation of Forest and Why. It was brief and to the point, and was very illuminating. Judge Wm. Edgeworth Muse of Dallis, Texas, accompanied by Mesdames P. B. Blalock, Jr., and B. B. Jones of Edgefield, came in on a visit to the Childs friends, and Judge Muse who has traveled “on all of the continents and the seven seas many times” graciously gave of his wealth of travel and experiences. His manner of speak ing is so original and unique that one travels by his side whither he wills to lead. King Solomon’s building of the Temple, his dedi catory prayer, were poems of Scripture from his lips. The “Morning Wall” of Jerusalem was a sharp sad actuality to the listen ers, while the journey from Judea to Jerusalem, as trod by his feet, became a well known spot to all of us who heard anew the story of David and Goliath, a veritable fairy tale. We sat entranced, and were ready to enjoy a visit to King Tut’s tomb, where Judge Muse went on invitation of an English nobleman who was at the head of the archaeological excava tions; when his friends reminded him they must return to Edgefield. We thank Mrs. Blalock and Mrs. Jones for graciously bringing him to us. A man of such rare ac complishments, such scholarly at tainments with the chivalry of the deep South woven into his being, inherited from his ancestry of old Edtrefield. Miss Bell was very kind to yield her Demonstration time. Miss Helen Bell was a welcomed visitor, coming with our agent. Miss Ma tilda Bell. Mrs. J. J.
