BAPTIST STATE
CONVENTION
HELD AT GREENWOOD-.SYNOPS1S
OF THE PROCEEDINGS- PRESIDENT
RE-ELECTED.
Greenwood, December 6:?The
91st session of the State Baptist
^ Convention met at the First Baptist
Church of Greenwood Tuesday evening
of last week, W H Hunt of
Newberry presiding.
The address of welcome was made
^ by Rev W N Cordon, the pastor,who
was followed by Mayor Baker who
officially welcomed the Convention
to Greenwood.
On behalf of the other denominations,
the Rev J B Green, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, then wel
? ry j
corned tJie uonvenuon u> urwnwiwu.
Mr Green is one of the most interesting
and entertaining speakers in
Greenwood and, despite the fact that
he had a "crippled throat," he delivered
an excellent address of welcome,
full of happy hits and yet
full of Christian sympathy. These
addresses of welcome were responded
to by Dr D M Ramsay, president
of the Greenville Female college.
Dr Ramsay is always an eloquent
speaker and was equal to the occasion.
- ^ President Hunt then notified the
C^vention that its first business was
of electing officers. Dr C C
Brown moved that the vote of the
Convention be cast by Mr G B Buell,
of Charleston, for Hon W H Hunt of
Newberry as president. This was
done. Mr Hunt expressed his appreciation
of the high honor conferred
upon him by re-electing him
to preside over the Convention of
representatives of the 140,000 Baptists
of .South Carolina. He assured
all the representatives that he meant
to be absolutely fair and impartial
but that he must adhere to the order
of business as prepared for the Convention
and hoped that no one
would feel that he had been discriminated
against.
The Hon Orlando Sheppard was
next elected first vice president and
Dr F P Covington of Florence, second
vice president. The Rev C A
Jones was elected secretary, the
Rev A B Kennedy of Columbia was
elected assistant secretary, Mr C C
Bobo of Laurens was elected treasurer,
and Mr B E Geer of Greenville
was elected auditor. The last four
* were re-elections. These and the
other officers were all elected by
having some member of the Convention
cast the unanimous vote of the
' Convention for the officer named.
The report of the committee on
of business was then called for
and was presented by the Rev E S
Cleaves of Honea Path. After the
reading of the report there was some
discussion as to changes, moving up
the time for the consideration of
foreign missions and having the reports
on the two female colleges,
Greenville Female eollege and Anderson,
earlier, but upon consideration
this was not dent exactly as at
first proposed. Foreign miss!one remained
for Wednesday night end the
college will come up Wednesday

! vacancy on the board by the resignation
of Dr Jno F Vines of Anderson
and npminaticn of the Hon W J Tal-!
bert of the Edgefield association as
trustee for this vacancy was made,
. followed by his election.
Abbeville Next Year.
Greenwood, December 7:?The
next South Carolina Baptist State
Convention will meet with the Abbeville
ehureh, Abbeville, the Rev
Louia J Bristow. pastor. The fact
that the Convention goes to a point
only about twenty milea from ita
present meeting place for ita next
session is unusual, but Mr Bristow

bo meat churches in the State and
the Contention wants to see it and
also enjoy Abbetille's hospitality.
The Contention is nearing its close,
as this report of the committee on
time and place, made this afternoon
by G B Buell, chairman, would indicate:
The Ret Philip J McLean of Aikan
was selected to preach the Contention
sermon next year, with the Ret
J S Dill of Gaffnev as alternate.

And re W8, December 12:? Our min-1 (
inter, Rev Mr Bowden, leaves for his
r,ew work in Florence district and j
his successor, Rev W 0 Henderson, \
vrill soon arrive. We hope our people {
srill receive the new pastor with j
open hearts and pocket-books and
work together for theeaueeof religion )
on this charge. It takes both pastor j
and people (o work together for the j
spiritual upbuilding of a community, j
Young Mr Henderson comes highly i
recommended as a spiritual worker. ]
Last Friday was examination day i
at the Andrews High school. The i
girls and boys were working very i
hard to meet their examinations sue- i
eeaBfully. We think these monthly
examinations and placing those who
i are deserving on the honor roll a I
fine idea for advancing educational j
interests. Mr H C Ritter, though a
young man, has proved himself a
| worthy teacher both in the school
room and the churches. This young
man has worked but the practical
theery in this school, which is proving
a growing success, for which he
and our wide-awake trustees should
have much praise.
Mr Odom.of the Salters section, is
moving into our town, having leased
the farm of Mr D W Avant. Mr
Odom comes recommended as one of
the best farmers of the county. We
need hundreds of such men in our
town and community.
Good farmers are what will build
up our town. We have the resources
to offer for the right kind of settlers.
At a mass meeting :jf our town
about two years ago Superintendent
Andrews, of the G & W railroad,said
he expected to make our town, if he
lived, the banner town of Eastern
Smith r.arnlina. and he is not leaving
j a stone unturned to fulfill his promise.
If our people will give him
and the town officials full co-operation,
Andrews will come to the front.
We notice your scribe from Lake
City reports his Thanksgiving 'possum;
they are coming in plentifully
here now. Yours, Mr Editor, must
I
be forthcoming this week without
fail. (Thank you in advance,
