The city of Laurens was -the scene
E" this great- convention. ThO enterlinmerft
accorded us by the citizens of
aureus was the very best we have^tvr
-received -in the?nineteen?yeare-nf
le life time of this convention. The
hite people took n, deeper interest
i this'session than ever before, their
seeches were more cordial, and wejime
mnrp genuine. in fact- the
ilored- people of the state have a new
inception of the city of Laurens. Ev*ybody
was comfortably entertained,
reat is Laurens is the unanimous
lorus sung by all.?Too much praise
innot be given to the Rev.. J. W.
[atthias and to Mrs. Mary Whit net
ir the way they handjed the sjtuaon?even
without a hitch. The St,

ev. *J. C.Tobin having resigned the

Retiring President's Address
Dr. H. M. Moore who had, been the 1
I president of the convention for the 1
last eighteen years delivered his last }
message amid a painful silence, so- 3
! much so that Dr. D." F. Thompson, of
Augusta, Ga., arose and commented
Ion the indifference manifested. The
I secret was,- th^t it had been told all
over the stale thai Dr. Moore waa op-.~
posing the election of Dr. White to the .
presidency, and too .it was that sick- .
ening "calm" that always precedes a I
| storm," was the only rea^m. 1
