Union Meeting at Conneross.
West Unio

Westminster, July 2.-Keowee Courier
We would like TO drop only few dots
with reference to the union meeting
which was held on last Saturday and
Sunday with Conneross church.
The meeting was not as fully attended
by the delegates from the different
churches as the brethren would have
been glad to have had, but we were glad
to have as many as were there with us.
Although the attend zee was not 80
large, interest was not wanting among
those present. The zeal and enthusiasm
of the several speakers was manifest in
all the discussions.
There being no union in the lower di.
vision, we had several brethren of that
territory with us.
Among the ministers we had with us
we're Revs. G. S. Blackburn, John r.
Moore, A. P. Marett, G. l.. Craig, j. Fl.
Stone and others.
A joint meeting of the Upper and
Lower Divisions will be held with the
Westminster Baptist church in Septem.
ber. The program will be given later.

were adopted:
Whereas, there is move on foot
throughout the South to fill our South
land with foreign immigrants; whereas,
we look upon that movement as being a
pull down to our farming interests of
this country, as we see nothing promis-
ing in it except for the large land owners
and the spectators; whereas, we see that
pulling down farm labor and increasing
production lowers prices for farm pro-
ducts; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we must omphatically
condemn the movement and ask our rep
resentatives in the General Assembly to
use all means in their power to defeat
any measure leading to the immigration
movement in this State.
