Mrs. Stevens presided over
every session of the Worlds
Convention. Lady Carlisle, our
newly elected Worlds President,
is said to be exceedingly demo
cratic in her tastes. She abjures
society altogether, giving her
entire time and strength to her
home and organization duties.
Over fifty requests for Sunday
speakers were received by the
pulpit committee from the pas
tors of Boston and the surround

were met in nearly every case.
Small ':nosegays" of home
grown flowers were sent to the
foreign delegates by the chill
dren OF the Frances E. Willard
settlement in Boston.
President Roosevelt gave a
special reception November Z, to
delegates to the Worlds Conven-
ton who were in Washington,
enroute to their respective coun-
tries. The large party OF dele
gates which sailed from Phiia-
delphia, November 8, were also
received by the president.
An appropriation of $3.50 for. a

town Exposition was ordered by
the Executive Committee.
Both at Boston and at Hart
ford testimony came from every
side as to the revelation of the
real purpose and work of the
W. c. T. u. afforded by our con
ventions. Genuine amazement
is shown by many men and wo'
men when they realize for the
first time that the W. G. T. y. is

Report of Secretary Of Trinity School Dis
triet, No. 81, O.. clarendon County.


Before giving the financial statement
we think it wise to relate sum facts in
connection with the work il this dis
trict.
For a number of years there had
been a good bit Of dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by a majority of patrons OF the
two schools. After a number Of efforts
had been made and failed to improve
the schools, as far as we could see, J.
NJ. Lee and J. E. Kelly in the spring
of March 1905, called meeting OF pat
rons to discuss the advisability OF form
inc a new district out of the territory
covered by the two schools, uniting the
TWO, and make a graded school. AS
one of these schools was in district No.
i, and one in No. IL, there was con-
siderable opposition to it. After hear
inc both sides the county board granted
the new district. An election was then
held for a special 3 mill tax levy, which
was carried without dissenting vote.
During this time we were holding
weekly meetings at the different homes,
eating ice cream, cake, barbecue, etc.,
and having a good time in general.
About the last OF July we had decided
to build by private subscriptions and
do the work ourselves. Pledges were
made, the necessary committees were
appointed, and work commenced the
last of July. During this time, in July,
our district was damaged considerably
by severe hail and wind storm which
resulted in complete obstruction of the
crops of some patrons of the school, and
a severe damage to all. This necessari-
" made it impossible so far for some to
redeem their pledges. 1t, however,
did not stop the work.
On the Sth OF October the class rooms
were completed and school opened.
The work is being carried on Fridays
and Saturdays, and will continue until
the building is completed. We have
had, as the report will show, consider
able help from parties out OF our ter,
ritory. This is very much appreciated
bv ali OF us. With what we have on
hand and subscriptions from dlt1erent
ones, we will be able to finish the bulla
ing and fence in the school lot. In the
report below there is some work tnat
is not put in. I will include that IN the
final report.

PARIS TO TIMBUKTu.
Trains to Run Now to Edge Of Sahara
Desert.


In August next regular steam COM
munication Is to be opened between
the Atlantic port Of Dakar, in Senegal,
and the famous town Of Timbuktu
near the Niger, on the southern edge
Of the Sahara desert. Any globe
trotter who desires may make the
journey, and If he connects closely with
the river and railroad systems leading
from the Atlantic to the great north
ern bend Of the Niger, he will be land
ed at Timbuktu in nineteen days af-
ter putting out Of the railway station
in Paris.
1t is enough to make African Rip
Van Wrinkles rub their eyes after the
sleep of ages, and the white races will
look upon the achievement as one OF
the wonders Of the year.
Two little steamers have been sent
from France, the last appliances need
ed to open these new facilities for
transportation. Each has accommo-
dations for fifty passengers and can
carry fifty tons Of freight. They Will
ply on the Niger between Kulikoro.
the terminus of the railroad now In
operation from Hayes, on the Senegal
river, and Ansonga, a distance by river
of a little over 800 miles. So Timbuk-
tn will be only a way station on the
route, for it's port is only about 900
miles from Kulikoro. The steamers are
expected to reach the Niger in March
or April, and some months will be re-
quired to put them together, install the
machinery, and make the final prepar-
ations for starting the regular steam
service between France and Ansonga,
The service will not be put into opera
ton until August.
The estimated time between Paris
and Timbuktu has been announced.
From Paris to Bordeaux, one day;
from Bordeaux to Dakar, by the
French Messageries Maritimes. eight
days; from Dakar to st. Louis, at the
mouth Of the Senegal river, one day;
from ST. Louis to Hayes, from Hayes
to Kulikoro on the Niger, through the
forested region between the Senegal
and Niger river systems, two days;
from Kulikoro to Timbuktu, by Niger
steamers, four days; total, nineteen
days.
So the journey from Europe will be
made in safety and with many Of the
comforts of modern transportation,
and the trip may be made In fewer
days than the pioneers required
months, as they pushed on their toll
some way at the peril Of their lives.
