THE w. G. 7. L.
The State Convention to be Held in New
berry Next October.
IFrOm the News and Courier. !

SpARTANGCKG, August 3.-The meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Woman'sChristian Temperance Union,
of South Carolina, was held in Spar
tanburg on August i, Mrs. Chaplin,
State president, presiding. The State
officers were present with the cNcep-
ton Of the corresponding secretary,
who was absent from the State.
The first business before the commit
tee was to decide the time and place
for the State Convention, and New
berry was chosen for the place and the
last week in October was selected for
the time.
The local unions of the State are ear
nestly requested to make 4 note of this,
as it is very desirable that there should
be a large representation. The National
Convention, which is to be held this
year in Atlanta, follows our State Con-
vention Immediately. The date Of our
Convention was arranged so as to catch
some of the distinguished speakers en-
route to Atlanta. TO all OF Us who
We're fortunate enough to attend the
Convention when it met in Newberry,
some three or four years ago, no word
is needed. We have in our hearts
memories OF it too bright to fade.
Those who have not had the pleasure
yet we would urge to go. You will be
glad you went.
The time and place having been
agreed upon the committee proceeded
to other business. The design for the
State banner was received and ap-
proved. Our State emblem, the pal
metto, with the motto: "Dum spiro
sperc,n was decided to be emincntly
appropriate. 1t would be disgrace for
South Carolina to 90 to Atlanta with
out a banner, so We appeal. not only to
the unions, but to all friends of temper
ance, to send to Mrs. DR.. Young, the
the treasurer Of the banner fund, q
contribution to AID III procuring bar
ner worthy of our rState, one that south
Carolina will be proud to claim at tie
National, where every State will lie
represented by banner of its own.
Address Mrs. DR.. Young, Campbellto,,
Hampton County, S. G.
Mrs. Chaplin, signifying her inten-
ton of remaining in our State for q
while longer, aggressive work was
planned for her. Any places desiring
Mrs. Chapin's visitation will correS-
pond with her at once at 3Ol East Bay,
Charleston, S. G.
In starting out among the unions,
Winnsboro was the first visited. At
the mothers meeting, every lady in
the audience, who was not already q
member Of the Order joined. Three
most successful meetings were held.
She was introduced to the audience by
the Rev. DR.. Jordan, of the Presbytc-
CLulClIJ W ~ SStlE, IL htiS SlS ulI-
necessary to introduce Mrs. Chaplin to
a South Carolina audience as it would
he to introduce Wade Hampton.
In Spartanburg three appointments
were made for her. The rain sadly
interfered with one, but the Others
were pleasant and profitable. On Sum-
day morning the Chapel Of the Fitting
School was crowded, and quite 4 num-
ber of signatures We're given by those
who wished to join our Union. Found
ations were laid for future work, and
we will proceed with the material
gathered to establish various depart
ments Of the W. c. 7. I. among the
families connected with the Spartan
Mills.
We feel that Mrs. Chapin's visit has
been q help 70 lis. She has greatly re-
vived and encouraged Us. Her visit
has been to us like Il henedicti0u of
peace, and we feel better for having her
with us few days. She has gone
to Gattney.
