CHURCHMEN AT
WORK in LAURENS.
Services of the Episcopal
COnvOCatiOn.
THE BISHOP HERE.
Sermon and Confirmation
Friday Evening.
Parochial Reports Showing Progress
OF Work in the District-Some
Subjects Discussed.

The Greenville Convocatlon OF the
Episcopal church which met last week
in the church Of the Epiphany, this
city, adjourned on Friday after a ses-
sion of unusual interest.
Morning aud evening services were
held each day at which various clergy
men preached, including Revs. CAL
lender, McBee, Williams, Porcher,
Magruder, Finley, Johnes and Arch
Deacon Mitchell. Wednesday after
doom Mr.. Porcher preached a special
sermon to children which was greatly
enjoyed. On Thursday evening a mis-
sionary service was held and an elo-
Quent address WAS delivered by Mr..
Magruder, who was followed in an
earnest appeal for diocesan missions
by Mr.. Mitchell. e
One person was baptized Thursday
evening and on Friday evening Bishop
Capers, whose arrival was delayed I'M
til that day, confirmed a class of four
young persons.
The business sessions of the .Conyo-
cation were well attended n the
parochial reports showed that a great
deal Of earnest work is being done by
the clergy and others throughout this
part Of the diocese of South Carolina.
The question Of the Division of the
Diocese caused an interesting discus
sion.
The Bishops sermon Friday evening
was in the characteristic manner Of
this great and beloved divine, simple,
practical and deeply impressive.
On motion of Rev. w. ECallender re-
solutions were unanimously adopted ex-
pressing appreciation for the hospit-
ality and kindnesses shown the Convo-
cation and it's members by the people
Of Laurens and the Church of the Epi-
phany.

The Farms Helped.

During the past five years three great
helps have come to the South Carolina
farmers: multiplication of telephone
lines, free rural mail delivery and the
more general introduction Of wire
fencing. These helps have. directly
and considerably added to the value of
farm lands. With telephones and fire.
quent mails the pleasures of country
life have been materially enhanced.
The farmers and their families are in
closer touch with the town and city
people than they have been. In q few
years trolley lines will be built every
where. When that comes to pass diff
f~erences between town and city life
Will be wiped away, except that the
countryman will more than ever have
the advantage. He has it now In some
measure though he doesn't know it and
won't believe it. The day Is approach
Ing when a division between town and
country In politics will be impossible
and progress in mechanical inventions
and inventions is speeding 1t. With
cheap wire fencing, an important i'm.
petus is given to stock raising. 1t is
now practicable to put an enclosure
around a meadow that will stay. Wire
fencing makes goat raising profitable.
Goats can be fed cheaper than any
other %fonr-footed animal. They can be
easily confined In q wire-fenced pasture
and they can be confined in no other
that has been devised. The people of
South Carolina are independent of the
beef trust and will so remain, because
they are independent OF beef. Never
theless, flrst-rate beef can be produced
in South Carolina.

A Wicked Parry.

1T Is now charged that the Republi-
o party instigated the coal strike in
order that Mr.. Roosevelt should have
the opportunity to bring 1t to an end,
thereby make capital for Roosevelt
and the Republican party. We should
say that this charge is very silly ex-
cept that nothing charged against the
Republican party is silly.
