Rev. w. II Clarke of Japan, who
at one time as travelling man.
had vieited the town of Edge6eld,
aud worshipped in the Edgefeld
Baptist church. His address was
full of interest and information:
Mr.. apd Mrs. Clarke have the
honor of b"ing the first foreign
missionaries to speak from the
pulpit of the EdgeGeld Baptist
church, aud their presence among
US has brought US great inspira-

Mrs. J. d. Chapman Of Ande son
gon the miratlon Of all by her
gracious: composed manner as
presiding officer. 1t was said by a
lady present who had boon at
many great gatherings of wom@r,
that this was tie most orderly
convention Of such large body
that soc had ev, attended. Mrs.
J. W. Quattlebaum, of Anderson,
as recording secretary won gold n
opinions by her coaclse ard ac-
cura,e records read with such en-
ti4usiasm that even "dry minutes
brcame of interest. The cores
ponding secretary Mrs. A. L.
grutchfald of Spartanburg IS
we'll known among mission work
prs throughout the state by Cor
respondence If not personally.
The paper which she read befora
the superintendents conference
on Wednesday afternoon, was the
masterpiece of a facile pen
prompted by great mind and a
greater heart.
Mrs. J. N. Cudtl, of Spartan.
burg. treasurer, though the ros'
SCISSOR of wonderful head fol
figures, was by no means O. figure
head in the convention but
startled the women of the union
by the ease with which she bad
handled such a large amount ol
money during the year. Through
the treasurer's hands have passed
moro than $4,000 dollars. And
after all what is mora practicnl
demonstration of the efficiency of
an organization than the worship
which is rendered i'll gifts? Mrs
Cudd in making statement Of
lher aims for the coming year said
with a touch of humor that as
treasurer her chief aim would be
"to keep things straight" /.
To sum it all up, the only dis,
satisfied people in Edgefle!d are
those who did not have enough
delegates, and we are all sad that
now we have no delegates. Ye
delegates who failed to come tc
Edgefeld, take warning, and dc
not fail the people of Columbia
but come in ever growing mum
bers whrn the annual meeting
takes place there next October.
The response to the address Of
welcome by Mrs. Avery Carter of
Columbia was very unique, full Of
humof and originality. She will
have the opportunity next year of
trying her skill of pen and tongue
upon a similar address of well
come.
Among other telegroms and
messages which were sent, at the
suggestion of Mrs. J. II. Tillman,
a letter was sent 10 Rev. John
Lake in China, as missionary Of
the Edgefeld association.
