Georgetown and the Charleston Associa tlon. There are places and places-George? town is one that makes a visitor ?W1 that he stands on ground uncoil* monly fraught with unique history. It has benn stated before, but I will do so again, that it was here tis it the beautiful daughter of Aaron Bur took ship and was never se?-n by her friends any more. Soul.? say" she was compelled by the noted pirate, Captain Kidd, to walk out uti a plank from the side of his vessel and was plunged into the sea. The house ia which she ?pent her last night on land is still standing. Also, is th** bouse in which George Washington spent a night while on his Southern tour, still standing. The old Eliseo pal church in which the British stabled, or churched, their horses is one of the interesting landmarks ot Georgetown. These are some that point to the past, and~not the near past either. Oar last visit lo Georgetown was about twelve years ago, but we found it not the Georgetown of twelve years ago. It is worth any man's time and trouble to visit the Atlan? tic Coast Company's great lumber milis, the largest in the Southern Slates. It is no use to try to describe it as you would have to issue it in pamphlet form, and, as this is not -intended for sn advertisement-, I will desist. Twelve years ago where we saw neglect and dilapidation, to-day we see thrift and beautiful houses. Tais is not what I started out to say, t&ocgh. My purpose was to give you an account of the meeting of the one hundred and fifty third annual cession of the Charleston Baptist Association in the United States. . On Tuesday morning at ll o'clock we assembled in the new house of ^ worship erected by the Baptists of .Georgetown and were organized by the election of Kev. Simeon Hyde, of Charleston, as Moderator, and W. G. Welts, of Sumter, as Clerk. The meeting from beginning to end was enthusiastic and harmonious. We had with us Dr. T. M. Bailey , o? Greenville, who gave ns sever?! very fine talks; also Joel I. Allen, who raised last year $12o.CXX) for Forman University. His enthusiasm is eon tagious. Rev. John A. Brunsoii, who some years ago was missionary to Japan, caught the Association in hts pointed, impressive talks, and all wonld be sorry when he would take his seat. Rev. A. J. Nielsen, pastor of tue Cannon Street Church, Char? leston, preached the Introductory Sermon Tuesday night, and Rev. E. B. Jackson, of Summerville, S. C. the missionary sermon on Wednes? day night. Both ?if the preachers won afresh the golden opinions of their hearers. Mr. Editor, no crowd seems com? plete unless some paper men are present. I don't mean these little pasteboard fellows, but men that talk up for the papers they publish, and can also write something worth potting in their papers, like V.I.I Masters, of the Baptist Courier, or? A. McA. Pittman, of the South Caro? lina Baptist, or perhaps it would be more correct to say the South Caro? lina Baptist is of him. We were all gratified that all of the churches, with two exceptions, were represented at this meet in ir. We have thirty one churches in the Association. This is a pretty good showing, considering we met in the extreme Eastern portion of the terri? tory. The churches generally report good progress, and it was a notice abie laet that we had more preachers thar, usual at this meeting and they, with one exception, stayed to the ead. This one was excusable as he came back to Sumter county to marry one of the prettiest little girls ?rf Privateer f> a thrifty, nice young man, also of Privateer. Long may this state of happiness shine. The Association will meet with ihe St. George church in Dorchester county next year. I will say. Mr. Editor, i hat we all look forward to th*?se meetings with pleasant atittci pattons, as we tne??t there those vre have learned ti? lov?? very dearly and it is a fi mernaj as Weft-as a rel! glotis feast. Yon. perhaps, think some B tptists ar*? tong wittdeit. so I will stop. I can't refrain from giving the names ?? that c??upie whom we hope are as happy as can be.

The Pinewood Pythlans. Th? ???eu)b?*ts ?>f Pinewood Lodge, 3?o. 124. Knight? 1.1 Pythias, gave a Social Session last Wednesday even? ing which WHS largely attended by the ladies and gentlemen of Pine? wood, and incised all the surround? ing country. The Castle Hall was packed to overflowing, wh?*n the ses ?ion was called to order by Mr.Geo. Tindal, who delivered a particularly chaste and appropriate address of welcome. Rev. L. L. Bedettbeugh. pastor of the Methodist church at Pinewood, aettfd as master of cere? monies and introduced the other speakers, in the following order: Past Grand Chancellor John M. Knight. Past Supreme Representa? tive H. Frank Wilson, and District deputy Grand Chancellor Geo. W. Dick, ail of Sumter. The speeches were all well received, and at the conclusion Mr. Bedenbaugh au I nounced that supper would be served ?aft the Academy, the proceeds to be used for the benefit of the new Methodist parsonage, a handsome borne for the par.tor which is now i>eicg built. The affair was a splen? did success, over $70 being realized. The Castle Hall and the Academy wer? both artistically decorated for the occasion by Mr. D. A. Minor, of the Minor Stores, of this city. Mr. Minor went to Pinewood Wednes? day morning especially to do this work, which was admired greatly by every one. Mr. W. S. Jones, of this city, who ie an ardent and enthusiastic Py? thian, was "among those present," and enjoyed the affair to its fullest extent, as did all of the Sumter con? tingent, each of whom was loud in praises for Pinewood's hospitality, which abounded on every hand. Thousands Cured. Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve has eared thousands of casfes of pUe?." I bought a box ot Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve on the recommendation of our druggist," PO writes C. H. Lacroix, of Zavalla Tez.," and seed it for a stubborn case of pile3. It cared me permanently." Sold by O. B. Dav:?.. An Exasperated Landlord. A talc comes from the Nut meg State of a man who irav eled much and was weil-kdown wherever he went by hotel men and others as a -prover? bial kicker.*' Nothing was ever good enough or bad enough, hot enough or cold enough, rich enough or poor enough for him. One day he went to one of the best hotels in the State and put up for ?\e night. His fame had preceded him, and the land? lord gave orders to high and low to serve him with the j best, and to wait on him with alacrity. His wishes were all anticipated that night, and he went to bed as happy as a man like him could be with nothing to growl about. In the morning extra pains were taken with his breakfast, after which the landlord went and inquired if everything was all right, adding that he trusted his breakfast had been satisfactory. . "Well, it was fair," admit? ted the guest, "but I like a breakfast to be hot. This wasn't hot enough."' "Very well, sir," responded the exasperated landlord, "we have done our best for you. There is, however, only one place so hot your break? fast would be sure to please you. You'd better go there." And walked off. Still Waiting. Bishop P. F. Stevens, of South Carolina, was urging on a young man the other day the importance of self appreciation, says the Boston Post, "To think too little of your self," he said: "is quite as harmful as to think too much. Modesty and humility are all very well in their way, but there is great danger, by overdoing them, of creating a Uriah Heep impression." Bishop Stevens laughed quietly. "I once knew a young min? ister,** he said, "who was extravagantly modest and humble. *:One Ohristmas Eve Iiis congregation called at the parsonage and presented bini with a plush armchair. *. -Your eloquence* and goodness,' the congregation's. spoksman said. 4are the in? spiration of this gift."
