noon-About 100 Delegates
Have Arrived.

The city seems 10 have taken on
new life with the arrival Of So many
distinguished guests in her midst a>
the occasion OF the y. Il. =. Synod

train since Tuesday evening has
brought delegates and they have not

On Wednesday afternoon there was
a devotional and business meeting Of
the laymen who had come in at that
time, and on Wednesday evening a
laymanS 5 meeting Was again held,
when Rev. James PRESLEY, preached
very strong sermon before the
body. and outlined the movement and
the motive Of the laymen 5 meeting.
Mr.. Ross. 4 layman from Charlotte
\. c.. also made some very interest
inc remarks on the nature Of this
work, and others spoke concerning it..
The laymen 5 movement Is perhap<
the greatest step forward that the
churches Of all denominations have
taken in recent years. and it has been
received enthusiastically by the high
officials in the churches as we'll as
given hearty support BY most Of
the laity. It is, as it should be. in
thorough sympathy with the purpose
of the church. which is to see thai
Christ's kingdom is extended to the
ends of the world and His gospel
preached unto all creatures, and that
the world be brought to the feet Of
the Savior.
The formal opening of the one hum
dred and fifth session Of the 4. R. P.
Synod began Thursday morning at
eleven o'clock. The roll was called
and about one hundred delegates re-
sponded. The sermon ef the morn
in" was preached by Rev. J. A. White,
of BlackStock. The moderator Of the
Synod was introduced and things
were gotten under sway for the regu-
lar sessions which were to follow.
Yesterday afternoon business
session began at 3.l3. and last night
at eight o'clock a popular meeting
on Foreign Missions was held. The
sermon was preached by Rev. Will
liam Duncan, Of Charlotte.
This morning there will be devo-
tional service conducted by Rev. J. P.
Knox, of Columbia which is to be
followed by a business session. Rev.

ness session beginning at three
o o'clock; and the evening service will
be devoted to the subject Of Home
MISSIONS and the sermon Will oe
preached by Rev. R. E. Hough, of
Charlotte, n. c.
The weather continues delightful
for the meeting of Synod, and the
hearts and homes of the people are
open to the city's guests, and it is to
be hoped that there will be not only
most successful meeting of this
distinguished body but that each one
will leave the city feeling that II was
good to have been here, and that an
invitation from Newberry would al
ways be welcomed news among them.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY
Society Held Meeting in Prosperity
Well Attended-Many New En-
terprises Undertaken.

The 23d annual convention was we'll
attended, 81 Of the 55 Woman's So
cieties reporting and Is Of the Junior
Workers. one Young Woman'S Auxil-
liary. Full chorus. lovely solos, hear
ty welcome. and little church un-
surpassed BY any in our Southeland,
in our denomination, in beauty Of de-
sign and architecture, picture them
selves prominently in our mind.
Acting on the suggestion Of one Of
our Young lady missionaries from Co.
lumbia, private chain-prayer ser
vice was held in the pastors study
lasting through the whole Of Tues
days sessions. One at a time, and
for Is minutes at time, was alone
with her Maker, pleading God's
guidance of, and presence with the
convention, or presenting to the
Father, jointly with her own, the
written petitions of some other plead
ed. Some were answered wonder
fully that day. Revs. Kreps,
Fulenwider, Harms and Weltner, all
gave good and inspiring addresses.
Pastor Weltner's being on the Dea-
coness, Training Work and its pos
sibilities III the city of Columbia,
was cf special interest to us because
one Of the deaconeSSes, Miss Gertrude
Simpson. is supported by our Luther
an church Of the Redeemer, Newber-
| ry. and another by Grace church,
Prosperity, Miss Mary Low Bowers,
and Ebenezer. Columbia. These young
women gave instructive and helpful
examples Of how to conduct Mission
Study classes by, turning the mem
bers of the convention into a make
believe study class, with themselves
as leader. Miss Josephine Copeland,
who is now living with them in the
deaconess home, has completed her
two wears course, and will leave in
January to enter upon her lite-work
as home missionary. Forr calls have
come to her already, and she is await
ing Gods leading. Mrs. Cronk and
Mrs. Holman gave fine talks on liter
ature, stressing the need Of mission
ary intelligence and dissemination.
Our circulating library is in Colum-
bia awaiting the call. of any society
willing to pay freight on it. md the
addition of one volume to it in order
to get it for one month.
Mrs. Peter Robertson, Mrs. Teddy
Johnstone, Miss Dreher Irome, Miss
Erin Kohn. Mr.. Quattlebaum were
among our sweet soloists, and the
name of the lady visitors from New
berry was "Legion." To say that
we missed the sweet face and happy,
spirghty manner Of our president,
Mrs. J. A. B. Scherer is to express it
very feebly. A telegram Of Glove
and God bless you' with scripture
passages was received from her. Our
societies did more and better work
this year than ever before.
Mr.. Cronk entertained MS highly by
taking us on trip to China, India
and Japan. and showing us many cur
iosities.

BILL ()F
LA[)|N(i
Ruling Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission Requiring Uni.
formity Effective.
Hearst News Service.

, Washington, October 31.-In the ter
Freight associations, the new standard
uniform bill of lading drafted by a
committee of shippers and railroad
tarffic officials, and recommended by
the Interstate Commission, will be-
come effective tomorrow and here.
after only the two forms embodied
will be accepted by the lines in ques-
ton.
AS it is included in and made a part
of the official classification, which has
been filed with the commission, it OBJ
tains a legal status from which the
carriers cannot deviate, except in
a few non-essential points.
The essentials are herewith describ-
ed for the information of those di-
rectly interested:
First-It must contain the precise
language of the new contract and
conditions and must conform to the
requirements with respects to color
distinction for order shipments and
straight consignments.
Second-In the straight bill of lad
ing the original shipping order and
memorandum are to be printed on
white paper with black ink.
Third-On the order bill of lading,
the original must be printed on vel
low paper with black ink, shipping
order and memorandum on blue paper
with black ink Both forms of bills of
lading must be indentical with the bill
of lading prepared by the carriers. as
to appearance, size and character of
type. and the arrangement of printed
matter.
Fourth The width shall be 81 in
ches. The length shall be not less
than II inches.
All bills of lading, as well as the
shipping order, must De signed by the
shippers. Temporary receipts or day
tickets will not be accepted by the
carriers, neither will they be permit
ted to accept other forms of bills of
lading, dray tickets or temporary re-
ceipts now in use, even though these
have the stamped or written notation
that the shipment is subject to the
conditions of the new uniform bill of
lading.
Protests are being made against the
new bill, chiefly because it is provided
that a carrier will not be liable if a
claim for loss or damage is not filed
within four months. 1t is stated
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-10-31

that this conflicts with national and
state laws which allow several years
to elapse before a claim is outlawed
or barred. Western roads, it is said,
have for this reason, delayed adopting
the new bill, and are still undecided
on the question.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion says of the new uniform bill of
lading:
Its adoption We are persuaded will
be long step toward uniformity,
simplicity and certainty. 1t will like
wise be long step in the direction of
fair dealing between shipper and car
rier, and it may be confidently expect
ed to remove much of the confusion
which now exists, and to measurably
avoid in the future the irregularities,
and injustice which have heretofore
occurred"
The Central Freight Association and
the Trunk Line Association have made
the following statement to the public:
"The division into two forms. one of
which is white and the other in colors
yellow and blue, was adopted to meet
the unanimous belief that the order
bill of ladng should be of distinctive
character in order, so as possible, to
prevent fraudulent changes being
made after the bill of lading is issued
and it was urged by both the ship.
ping public and the bankers as a ne.
cessary safeguard to their commercial
transactions, it being recognized that
a straight bill of lading without any
distinctive features could be fraud
ulently manipulated.
at is the belief this bill of lading
the result of three years of arduous
negotiation between the shipping in
