and Revs. J. I. Allen and J. D. Hug
gins. While 1t is impracticable to give
even brief outline Of the addresses 1t
was the general opinion Of all who
heard DR.. Po:eat on this, his first visit
to the association, that his address
was one Of the best ever made before
the body, and that with such man at
its head the future Of Furmah Is safe.
After the usual preliminary exercis-
es on Saturday morning, Rev. ]. d.
Huggins called the attention Of the
association to the fact that a great
deal Of good might be accomplished
by an organized effort on the part OF
the association to utilize the fifth Sum
days In the work of developing the
weaker portions OF the field. After
some discussion 1t was decided to ap-
point committee to considerable sub
ject and report later.
The report on the Orphanage was
read and the opening address on the
subject made by Rev. A. T. Jameson;
| the superintendent, who gave an in
| teresting account Of the work being
done at the Connie Maxwell orphan
age at Greenwood. He stated that at
present there were 1876 orphans under
the care Of the institution and that the
number would be increased to more
! than 200 on the completion Of addi-
| tional buildings now being erected.
| He stated that the work now demand
ed about $4,000 a year for maintea-
a7ce and that the demands on the in
stitution exceeded its ability to meet
| them.
During the morning session the re-
ports on Woman's Work and State
Missions were read, discussed and
adopted and after attending to routine
work the body adjourned to meet at
7.45 in the evening. :,
There was a meeting In the church
during the afternoon Of the Women's 8
Missionary societies Of the association.
The meeting was largely attended and
Is reported as having been pleasant,
profitable and enthusiastic. The
brethren were excluded. Miss EN-
ma Dowell, missionary OF the state
mission board at Rock Hill, was elect
ed president and Miss Minnie Garrf-
son, of Fort Mill, secretary.
| The association re-assembled at
7.45. The reports on foreign missions
and temperance were read and dis
cussed, and several warm speeches
made on the latter subject, especially
among other things, expressed his
qualification of the action Of the vo-
ters of the county at the recent elec-
ton In voting the dispensary out OF
the county and thus putting all whis-
XIV sellers on the same footing as the
thief or burglar. He expressed the
hope that all good citizens and es-
| pecially those who claimed to be
| Christians, would unite and do all In
| their power to see that prohibition
/ prohibited. He was sure that II they
did 1t would prohibit. Rev. ]. w.
Willis, T. o. Mabry. J. ]. Waters and
L. A. Allen also spoke on the subject.
The committee appointed to con-
slider the Fifth Sunday work submit-
| ted its report. The report was adopt
ed and Is, in part as follows: I'VE
recommend that the pastors OF the
| York association use the fifth Sum
DAYS and one or two days preceding,
as occasions for rallies at the weaker
| churches Of the association. We
suggest that all details of such meet
ings be left to the pastors to be ar
ranged in cooperation with the
churches visited. We trust that the
| churches will welcome this effort for
| the betterment of our cause in their
| respective localities, and will heartily
rally to the pastors when they come
among them
After the adoption of a resolution
extending thanks to the congregation
of the Fort Mill church and the peo-
ple of the community for their bounti-
| full hospitality In entertaining the as.
| sociation, the body, after O most
pleasant and profitable session. ad-
| journed at about 10 p. m, Saturday
night, to meet with the Baptist church
at Glover on Tuesday after the second
Sunday in October, 1905, at IL a. m
