The W. 4. u. in Anderson.

Mrs. s. F. Chaplin, Presidentof the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union OF
South Carolina, and General Superin-
tendent of. the Unions throughout the
Southern States, lectured in the Baptist

The occasion was opened by singing that
beautiful and appropriate hymn, "Rescue
the Perishing," after which Rev. ]. w.
Wolling led in prayer. Rev T. P. Bell
then introduced the lecturess. -.
Mrs. Chaplin is very graceful and en-
tertaining speaker, and is thoroughly in
earnest in her work, for which she seems
specially called. Her address, which
was nearly two hours long, was listened
| to with marked attention. Itwas replete
with plain, practical arguments, which
produced profound impression. Her
graphic descriptions of the terrible re-
suits of alcohol, many of the incidents of
which she had witnessed, touched many
hearts and brought forth tears.
at the conclusion of her remarks she
stated that she desired to form Union,
and requested several gentlemen to pass
through the audience and take the names
of those desiring to join. One hundred
and twenty ladies gave in their names.
On Monday morning another meeting
was held in the Methodist Church, when
an organization Of Union was effected.
The following officers were elected:
President-Mrs. J. 8. Murray.

postp oned to an adjourned meeting
Wednesday afternoon. The membership
of the Union was increased to over two
hundred. Men are also allowed to join,
