LAURENS BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
Some Notes In the Baptist Press by Rev.
49,. vi. Masters.

| Brother w. H. Drummond of Lam
ford, has attended the association for
twenty consecutive years with one ex-
ception. Brother Drummond had a
hard time g9tting off from Court duties
at Laurens to be present at Mt. Olive,
but he did it. He is stalwart, manly,
warm-hearted, devoted Christian. Long
may he live and do good in Laurens as
sociation.
The absence of Revs. e. C. Watson
and M. G. Compton from the gathering
on account of sickness in their families
was very much regretted. The asso-
citation offered prayer for the recovery
of the sick.
On the way to and return from the
ASSOCIATION some Of us were most cor
daily and pleasantly entertained in the
loo Col. Wharton turned nice turn
out over to DR.. Bailey and myself for
the trip and contributed much to it's
pleasure. The Colonel is gentleman
of most amiable and opliging disposition
and is Baptist faithful to his Church
duties. The man who may aspire in
the next campaign to beat Col. Whar-
ton for the office of railway commits
sloner, which he now holds, will have
reason is that the winning ways which
candidates assume when seeking cleo
ton are normal to Col. Wharton, and
he is good officer besides.
With DR.. Bailey and other friends
was entertained at the association by
Pastor James 6 Martin, and most
pleasantly. Bro. Martin is very
prstor and an excellent man. The peo-
pie love him.
Brother c.. b. Bobo and c.. H. Roper
were unable to be present at the meet
ing on the first day. But they were on
hand the second; Bro. Roper in time to
do his busy work as treasurer and lend
himself to the success of the gathering,
and Bro. Bobo in time to give $25 to
State Missions with bright smile on
his face. What canital men theN are

build are apt to leave dirt and debris

President 4. B. Coulter of the board OF
education. Mr., Coulter always has a
very winning way about handing out
these diplomas. He says very little
but he delivers the goods in a way that
is pleasing to both the graduates and
the audience.
The closing number was a class song
by the graduating class after which the
young folks received congratulations
from their many friends and began TO
skirmish around in search for the right
diploma, which some other fellow or
girl usually gets.
The class OF 1905 was composed of;
Susan Catharine Hawkins, Grace Es-
tella Foley, William Arthur Wheeler,
Eva Viola McGowan, Erice Seben Bob

its courtesy and Its brilliancy. The
history was interlHrded with witty ref
erences to events in the class career,
and to the intellectual victories OF its
members, collectively and individual
ly. Mr.. Smith made great hit, IL the
applnuse which he received might be
taken as a criterion OF appreciation.
A piano solo, "Rondo Brilliant" by
Miss Euia Whitmore. was the next
number on the program and was a SUI
perb rendition OF beautiful selection.
Miss wbitmore is talented instru-
mentalist and her playing always
evokes the plaudits OF her friends.
Chancellor Buchtel, OF Denver uni
versity, delivered the class address,
and in doing so added new lnurels to
those previously awarded to him ms an
orator. His address was based upon
Theodore Roosevelt and the lessons to
be learned from bis masterfal life.
Among other things Chancellor Buch-
tel said:
Theodore Roosevelt is described by
1ehe European journals as the greatest
political ruler on earth, and when an
eminent Berlin newspaper can 80 far
