Mo- ,nzation of Southern interests
has ev.. accomplished so much in 80
short time at so little cost and time to
those most largely interested as the
Southern Cotton Association. Greater
possibilities and realities also are still
just ahead of us if we will get more COM

handle our staple money-crop in IA busi.
ness-like way. If we, as individuals,
crawl into our shells of scliishness and
narrow mindedness and trust to blind
fate and cotton spectators to turn for
tune our way, we will "pay dear for our
whistle" and get very cheap whistle
for our pains. We insist on the leading
citizens of Oconee meeting on the I'd in
the different school districts and in the
Court House on the 9th and helping to
push our county up the hill of prosper

prime, and bids fair to serve them for
many years. Whilst performing all his
duties as pastor, he also served in the
House and Senate of the General Assem-
bly,, was Railroad Commissioner one
term and member of the last Constitu-
tional Convention. Although his church
has given many members to other Luthe-
ran churches it still has membership
of over 800. Synod passed appropriate
resolutions commemorating this long
pastorate, and the members presented
him well-tilled purse. The church had
been repainted, recarpeted and beauti-
fed for the meeting of synod.
A special edition of The Herald and
News, of Newberry, contained pictures
of the church, parsonage, school house,
Rev. Sigh, the officers of synod and
much interesting matter relating to the
history of the church.
From this church twenty-one young
men graduated from Newberry College.
Every few miles, in town and country,
there arc prosperous Lutheran churches
in this section. The church was crowded
at every service, and dinner was served
to all every day on the grounds. On
Sunday over 1000 people were present,
filling tho church and school house, and
many were unable to get in for want of
room. Grand and able sermons were de-
livered during the meeting by ministers
of synod, DR.. Holland on missions, DR..
j. A. B. Scherer on Newberry College,
DR.. Voight on the Seminary, DR.. Wilson
on the Orphans Home, and Rev. Stire-
walt, missionary to Japan. All ably rep
resented the interests of these important
objects
The treasurer reported receipts at
$4,000, which, with S3,700 raised by the
ladies, made S12,7OO for human we'll
being.
The ladies had we'll attended and
grand missionary convention at New
berry and planned great things.
Reports from churches and all the
cheering and full of the wonderful bless
ings and success God had granted his
servants.
The Walhalla church was highly COM
plimented and put on record in a special
report.
In st. Pauls church Carl Weber, pas
tor Of the Walhalla church, was ordained
thirty-seven years ago. AT that meeting,
amid gloom and discouragement, it
seemed as if Newberry College must be
permitted to die, as it had no location or
money. 1t was then that Carl Weber
changed all to light and JOY by Offering
buildings and a home at Walhalla. This
was accepted, and Walhalla may claim a
share in the future of this college as a
friend in need.
Much business was transacted looking
to great things. The meeting of synod
was live, wide-awake, progressive, full of
love, peace and harmony, and adjourned
with enthusiasm, facing glorious future
Of work for God and humanity.

WITH THE LUTHERANS.
Eighty-First Meeting OF the South Carolina
Synod at ST. PauPs Church, near Pomaria

Written for the Keowee Courier.
The eighty-first meeting of the South
Carolina Synod was one of unusual inter
est. The beginning of the Lutheran
church was slow and humble in this
State. After some years of labor it had
nine ministers and |, ,4G2 members. Now
ut has over fifty ministers and over l., ,OOC
members.
Lutherans from Germany settled in
this State two hundred years ago, and
continued coming before, during and
present. The Germans and their de-
Scendants settled in Aiken, Barnwell,
Edgeficld, Lexington, Newberry, Orange
burg, Richland, Sauda and Oconec
counties, and Charleston, Sumter, Flor
'ence, Spartanburg, Greenwood, and Au-
gusta, Ga. In all these counties and
places Lutheran churches were organized
in connection with the South Carolina
synod. Large numbers of Lutherans,
removing to places where there was no
lutheran church, have become the most
2alpcd and devoted members of other
denominations.
The first settlers were GermanS-a
sturdy, Industrious, economical, honest,
law-abiding and pious people. Wher-
over they settled they founded churches
and schools. For years services were in
German. Gradually their descendants
became English, and there arc only four
churches where services are held half
German and half English-two in Charles
Con, one in Augusta, Ga, and one in
Walhaia.
These Lutherans have prospcred and
mave kept pace with others in rich farms,
zine homes, splendid churches, in cduca-
tion, refinement, culture and piety,
while in cities and towns they are repre-
scented in all the walks and professions
OF life, and have become valuable ele-
snant in the life OF our State and nation.
ST. Paul's church, near Pomaria, where
synod was held, is two hundred years
old. No record was kept of the early
history of this settlement. The first
record begins with 1867, recording the
organization of a church. They still re-
tain the glebe, or large farm, from George
HI of England. On this there is a beau
tiful church., parsonage, school house
:ano cemetery. They were served at first
by able German pastors, who were sue
rceeded by English ministers until the
present pastor took charge-forty years
ago. Rev. j. A. Sigh has served this
church, as his only charge, during all
that time and has seen many changes.
He is seventy years old, and yet in his

the roads in the same territory. 1t
has made liberal increases to its tele-
graphers during the past FIVE years.
AS compared with 1000. the same
positions that existed in that year are
paying in 1905 $4,000 additional
This increase relates only to the po-
stions in 1905 which were in existence
five years ago. " There are also in ex-
istence over 200 more positions than
existed in 1000. These, of course, take
the 1905 higher rates. Comparing the
1905 positions with those of 1900 as a
whole, the telegraphers are receiving
an increase of annual pay amounting to
not less than $4,000 over and above
the income paid prior to May I of this
year.
"The impractical rules and exorbit-
ant demands made by the committee in
the first proposition and practically re-
peated in their proposition of July 27,
are considered conclusive proof that at
no time has it been the intention Of the
committee to make concessions which
would enable the company to make a
satisfactory settlement. Before actual
negotiations we're commenced they had
fully decided to force strike. When
conferences started on July II, strike
instructions had already been in force
for an entire week Last Friday
when we concluded negotiations they
were still hanging over our heads.
'The road was in this position: Mr..
Perham or his committee could inau-
gurate strike of OUR telegraphers any
time they saw fit. They would neither
accept nor reject the company's propo-
sition This uncertainty the company
could not put up with and as a result
lockout was inaugurated today"
