Mrs. Watson was most com plimentary for the assistance that she had always had from New berry chapters, citings the many instances when she needed help. She also gave some of the high lights of the recent state con vention in Spartanburg. At the close of her interesting talk, each of the four delegates to the con vention was asked to add some thing of interest.
