HOME MISSION lTEr1S.
An Account of the Recent State Meet
ing Held In Manning.

The recent annual meeting of the
Woman's Home Mission Society was
held at Manning, S. c., October IT.
20. and is said to be the very best;
yet had. In addition to 43 dele
gates, representing the auxiliaries,
and the beloved State officers, it was
the delightful privilege of this con-
ference to have present Miss Belle II.
Bennett, of Nashville, Tenn, the
great leader of Home Missions Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,o South,
whose tender pleading voice was in
itself a source of inspiration, to say
nothing of the never-ending supply
of information which she so cheer
fully dispensed to the conference.
We wish that every Home Mission
worker might have had the privilege
of knowing Miss Bennett and hear
ing her upon this great work-what
we have done, what we are doing
and the great needs. The delegates
from the Bamberg auxiliary have
message from this great noble Chris
tian woman to each member Of this
auxiliary, therefore, come to the
next meeting andreceive it.
Mrs. Luke Johnson, of Athens, Ga,
superint ntendent of tithing, was pres
ent, also, and spoke very forcibly cd
the duties of auxiliary second vices
presidents.
The State officers for another. year
remain unchanged, with these excep-
tions: Mrs. R. W. Barber, former
secretary, was elected to the Office Of
first vice-president, to take theplace
of Mrs. w. T. Capers, who was re-
moved by death. Miss Louise Bar
Der, of Lander, was elected secre-
tary, to succeed her Mother; Mrs. R.
w. Barber, and Mrs. ]. L. Stokes
takes the place of second vice-presi-
dent, instead of Mrs. J. G. SClink-
scales, who for good reasons re-
signed. 1t is with pride that we are
able to make this statement the sre-
port of the Bamberg auxiliary was
second to none, even with the report
sent up from the societies in our
largest city :churches. This COM
pared most favorably, in many in
stances exceeding. Let us make
next years work better and greater
yet, for we are well able to do it.
Newberry was chosen as the place
of meeting next year.
Manning opened her homes and
heart to this body and entertained
the visitors most royally-we doubt
if there can be a better, more spirit
ual meeting, with harmony, love and
peace reigning so supreme. May
the Manning workers feel as much
benefited and inspired as did each
delegate who had the privilege Of
being present.

OF COURSE WE WILL.
Last BattIe'' Written
By South Carolinian.

Two weeks ago the Herald pup
lished story based on the fight at
Rivers bridge in this county near
the close of the war. We said the
story was no doubt written by a
Northerner, and we thought it was.
But it seems this statement was
made through ignorance, and that the
writer is a South Carolinian. We
are glad to know it, and we take
pleasure in reproducing the follow
ing article from the columns Of the
Winnsboro News and Herald, OF
which our good friend, j. Frank
Fooshe, is editor:
How true the old statement, a
prophet is not without honor, save
in his own country. Here comes the
Bamberg Herald with four columns
of it's last issue, filled with d most in
teresting story, '*Pembroke's Last
Battle" based on the fight at Rivers
Bridge about the close of the war in
that county. In noting this fact our
esteemed contemporary adds: "As
it was no doubt written by a North:
erner, we feel sure our readers will
read it with interest -
Written by a Northerner (big 'N''
at that and credited in the very be-
ginning to E. Crayton McCants. If
the authorship was not known and
had to be guessed at, is there any
more reason to guess that it was a
Northerner than a Southerner?
Surely this conclusion could not be
reached simply because it was copied
from Northern publication. Ger
tainly not in this instance, for this is
not the first time that the authors
name has appeared in a Northern
magazine. Just for the Herald's in
formation we take pleasure in say
ing that E. Crayton McCants is no
Northerner, no, not upon your boots,
he is not. He is a South Carolinian,
to the manor born, being a son of
Greenwood county, and now superin-
tendent of the cityschools of Ander-
son, where he had served as princi-
pal for several years before being
elected to his present position. Amid
the busy and exacting duties of the
school room, he has found time to
make a liberal use of his pen and his
Among the Red Hills is one of the
interesting books of South Carolina
fiction. His magazine contributions
have been numerous, and have been
we'll received. No, he is not a North
erner, more than that, he began his
magazine work when he was teach
ing right at the very doors of our
contemporary, being principal of the
school at Blackville.
Now, Brother Knight, do the
knightly act by making a full and
free confession, and, instead of CIV
ing credit to another section for the
authorship of this most excellent
story, join in the good work of intro
ducing the people of your county
and your State to this bright young
author, whose writings are becoming
more and more popular. Nor in the
future be guilty Of the unpardon.
able sin of giving credit to the North
for an author, whose home is not
known. If his writing is GOOD
enough for you to publish, why claim
the credit for the South, for South
Carolina if you please, till you fine
the credit belongs to some othel
State.
