philaisaa Secretary-Miss Blanchs u
Davidson, Newbery.
Treasurer-M. G.. Womack, Spar
tanbrrg.
The time and place of next meet
inc were left with the executive COM
n1i:tee.
President J. J. Gentry, Of Spartan
ourg, declined reelection, recon-
mending in his annual report that as
this was an INSTRUMENTATION un-
ion, "that the president be not Sc
lected from the same denomination
for two consecutive years." At
ter an earnest speech by President
Gentry this recommendation was
concurred in.
The following recommendations in
the president report were also con-
Cured iu;
"That the Baraca-Philathea union
do not maintain a State field secre-
tary for the ensuing year.
"That some time during the ses-
sions of this convention arrangements
should be made to settle in full the
debt which was incurred under the
authority of the Asheville meeting
Of the South Carolina delegates, and
for which the State officers are per-
sonally Liable.
"That at some time during I'll
convention the delegates represent
ing the various denominations meet
in conference to discuss the further
work in their own denominations
somewhat on the plan of the denom-
national conference held at the con-
vention of the Laymen's movement
"That the South Carolina Baraca-
Philathea union meet once each year
for conference and inspiration, and
that it be composed of representa-
tives Of all Baraca and Philathea
classes Of all Protestant denomina-
tons in the State Of South Caro-
Hna.'
The session Of the convention was
one Of both pleasure and Of profit for
the delegates and for the people Of
Newiberry who attended the sessions.
President Gentry presided over the
business sessions, and Mr.. NJ. E.
Spearman, Of this city, chairman of
the local central committee, pre-
sided over the meeting at which the
addresses of welcome and the re-
sponses were delivered.
The chamber Of commerce rooms
were the headquarters Of the Baraca-
Philatheas while in Newberry, and
the efforts Of the officers and mem
,bers of the chamber Of commerce
added materially to the pleasure of
the delegates during their stay in
Newbery, and we're of invaluable aid
in the reception and entertainment
Of those who attended the conven-
ton.

The movement, the object Of which is
the study of the Bible, leading ulti-
mately and logically to the evangeh-
cation Of the world, has today half
million members, and its immediate
aim is to secure a million members
in the near future.
In ,this Worldwide movement
Christian young men and Christian
young women are united, the young
men composing the Baracas and the
young women the Philatheas. Hav-
ing a common aim and common pur-
pose the two organizations have been
working together, the motto of the
/ Baracas being, ''Young men at work
for young men, al! standing by the
Bible and the Bible school," and the
motto Of tho Philatheas being,
"Young women at work for young
women, all standing by the Bible and
the Bible school,, "-and, as a matter
Of fact, young men and young women
being at work for each other.
Under these conditions it was but
natural that the organization should
combine.
South Carolina has the distinction
of being the first State in which a
State Baraca-Philathea union was Or
ganized, and New'berry was signally
honored in, ibaing chosen as the place
of the first meeting Of the State Ba-
raca-Philathea convention, which met
in Newberry on Friday.
The convention was attended by
the Hon. Marshal A. Hudson, nation
al Baraca president. Mr. Hudson
-"fhsartily congratulated South Caro-
lima upon being the first State to
have a Baraca-Philathea union, and
heartily congratulated Nawberry in
being chosen as the first place OF
meeting Of this State convention, say
ing that New York had hoped to
have the first State convention, but
had been outdistanced by South Car
olina.
After a most successful session,
about three drenhred out-of-town del
egates being in attendance, the first
convention Was brought to close on
Sunday night.
The following officers we're chosen
for the ensuing yer:
President-J. W. Nash, Spartan
burg.
Baraca Vice-president- tt. B. Chick,
spartahburg.
Pbilathea Vice-president- c.
NJ. Williams, Greenvllle.

He maintained that he had received the check for services rem dered to the value of $2e, which ser vices had consisted of playing mu- sical instruments one night in an or chestra; he was certain that he be heved the check was good and that he was not surprised to be given so large a check in payment for such slight services: that he had been employed constantly since he re ceived the check the middle of last month and until the present time had made no effort to have 1t cashed. The defendant first stated that the party from whom he received the check had just gone to the coast and later said he left the night after giving him the paper. The tale sounded fishy and the judge was in- clined to think the prisoner a crook at the outse. but the aroma, an an- cient and fish like smell, continued to grow stronger as the prisoner wound himself up n the net, he had spread sor himself. Finally, when a thirty day sentence was pronounced even the prisoner laughed Four drunks made up the balance of the early court business.

DROWS|NESS AND

DOUGLAS, Sept. 1s.-(SpeciaD--
 An amusing incident occurred ar a home on Greene street OF a night this week after rain. which shows what strange things a man will do sometimes when he is awakened from a sound sleep, and what peculiar az tions are performed by a man who i'm, bibes too freely on the other hand
 At this particular home the front room was occupied by a lsdy, and the man of the house and his wife slept on a back screen porch. The ady in the front room wa sawakene6 g a noise. and inquired "Who's here?" The startling reply of shut p. its only a man." brought screams rom her, and sent her scampering ts another room, where she locked hc:, elf in. Meantime the intruder wa. fying to strike a wet match, it ai- serwards developed that he wa soaked with water without and booz. within. One of his shoes was gone and he was coatless.
 The screams from the front of the souse awakened the sleepers on the pack porch, at least they partially awakened the sleepy householder and he went to see what the trorble waA Dimly deserving a man trying to light match he said let me have it and I'll light it" Obediently the wis, itor handed over a match, which was also wet and rainsoaked and failed b ignite. While sleepy hubby was irving to make a light the wife turn ed on the electric current. "rm sleepy, aint your" says sleepy hus band to the visitor as he rubbed his half open eyes. This and the light brought the intruder partly to his senses and with startled shout O. Gee! This aint my house. don't belong here.' a hasty retreat was ef- fected
 Then the interrupted sleep was re sumed by three of the most interest ed parties.

 White men string it on poles struck into the ground. and by talking into sn instrument at one end the voice can be heard oD the other." he was told by Professor McMillan- The next morn ing somebody called to Peary and the other members of the expedition to come out and watch the Eskimo. He was sticking some forked poles into the ground and banging his piece of wire on top of them. He next held one end of the wire to his mouth and talked 10 it at the top of his voice Then he hurried to the other end and held the wire to his ear. expecting to hear his own words repeated When he failed to hear any sound he looked at his white friends in disgust--Chi- cago Tribune.

Little Things.


 Tn a small building which was once Peter the Greats workshop in Hol- land is the inscription, Nothing Is Toe Little For the Attention of a Great Man"
 It is curious to note that many things which have turned out most useful for man owe their beginnings to some slight accident For instance. the telescope we owe to some children of a spectacle maker placing two or more pairs of spectacles before each other and looking through them at the distant sky. Their idea was followed up by older heads. Pendulum clocks were invented after Galilei stood ob- serving the lamp in a church swing ing to and fro. Gunpowder was dis covered from the falling of q spark on some materials mixed in a mortar. The great results of steam engine may all be traced to the boy who sat the nose of teakett!e. Electricity was discovered by a person observing that piece of rubbed glass attracted small bits of paper.
 The arr of printing took its origin from some rude impressions taken for the amusement of children from let ters carved en the bark of a beech tree
 The laws of sravitation were discov- cred by the falling of an apple to the ground.

 An episode. not without amusing features, occurred at the local courts this morning. which resulted in the prisoner receiving a sentence of thirty days on the county roads How any one would attempt to pull on the stunt which was tried Is hard to understand, for the prisoner was accused of trying to defraud by pass. Ing a check which was stamped paid. and cancelled by the bank on which it was drawn.

Its truth was brought out this morn ing when a Mexican told stories to Judge Rice, contradicted them, and twisted himself all up in a mesh of raise statements. At least they must have been false to so entangie him.

He was always forgetting his lines. But as the blind colonel he seemed destined to be particularly nervous. and there fore he arranged with the prompter that on the first night. whenever be forgot a speech. he should snap his fingers as signal for help.
 'The first night came. and Tree for got his lines continually. His fingers snapped all through the show like an intending package of firecrackers. He thought his career was doomed. but the next morning all the critics said of him unanimously:
 "'Mr- Trees artistic study of the blind Colonel ChaIiice was revelation. Never before have the habits and thoughts of the blind been so carefully analysed and so faithfully portrayed The entire study was perfect. even down to the nervous twitching of the fingers and the anxious listening. as though loss of sight made bearing all the more dear.'"
