Meeting of Missionary Union.

The quarterly meeting Of the Wo-
mans Missionary Union Of the Bea-
verdam Association was held on last
Saturday at the Walhalla Baptist
church.
At 1890 o'clock a goodly number
OF delegates had gathered. The meet
Ing was opened with that inspiring
hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name" followed by prayer, and an
interesting and helpful talk on the
bible and Prayer" by Mrs. Watson,
of G~reenville. A more appropriate
topic for a missionary meeting could
not have been selected than the
above. for was 1t not the words Of
the Saviour through the Bible, GO
We into all the world and preach the
Gospel to all creatures" which was
the inspiration to the first mission
airy.
The address Of welcome was cheer
of Seneca. The regular business
meeting followed, during which time
some very good reports Of the differ
ent societies were read, and the dele
gates enrolled. Although the
churches we're not all represented,
the attendance was better than had
been anticipated.
Mrs. T.. II. Carter read a very in
teresting paper III the work Of the
Home Mission Board.
Mrs. Watson closed the morning
session with an address on the
Needs Of the Association, and the
Duty Of Each Member"
In the absence of Mrs. Blackburn,
which was greatly regretted, Rev.
Mr.. Blackburn conducted the devo-
tional exercises Of the afternoon.
A paper on "Giving to the Work'
was read by Miss Hunsinger, of Con-
church.
The Sunbeam Band of the Wal
halla church Is indeed a credit to the
church. and they exceiied ali past
occasions by their dialogue on
"Think Twice"
Mrs. Floyd, who has charge Of this
band, deserves great praise for her
patience and untiring efforts in train
ing these young people.
Mrs. Clinkscales, OF Anderson,
gave an interesting address on young
peoples work, and urged forming a
Y. w. G. a. for the young ladies.
The various committees deserve a
vote of thanks for the admirable way
In which they fulfilled their duties.
The meeting was closed at 5 p. m.
with "Blest Be the Tie that Binds"
and the Lords prayer.

grades are sleeper and a rougher
country Is traversed." This state
ment shows why 1t Is that Clayton,
Ga., Franklin, N. c., and Toxaway,
M. y, get a considerable trade that
formerly came into Oconee, and
would yet do SO IL not for the draw
back named.
Hence, would 1t not be good policy
and reasonable for the more thickly
populated centers, such as towns, to
favor a highly liberal treatment Of
the country townships from which
and through which they largely get
their business and resulting life,
when vital road matters are at issue?
Also, hence the surprise that either
the Farm and Factory or The Keo-
wee Courier should speak criticising-
~ or any endeavor to mend the
roads.
1t seems to me that our county del
egation at the State Capitol blunder-
cd seriously In that they had the
power to improve the existing condi-
lions to a great extent, If not to the
ideal state, but now 1t is to be feared
that the middle will only be thick
ened. Put not your trust in politi-
clans Why did they not reason out
AUST law for at least a little PER-
MANENT Improvement, and forth
with put 1t on the statutes? Any
temporary indignation or unpopular
ity for the county lawmakers would
have died a natural death If any re-
sulting good had been accomplished.
County people, the date set for the
election draws near when, If the
people want a change, tGey can vote
II IN, or let 1t rest In the same nerve
racking state hat has long existed"
Can the proposed change ease the
situation? That's the question. Let
the people be heard from in the pa
pers, and at home and abroad. Let
them turn out and vote, since It has
been only a few short months since
we had a round of patience-trying
elections, and what need my one
care for more of like entertainment?
Let the corn and cotton go like our
roads have been going, and exercise
your exalted right of suffrage.

Agents Report.
The reports of the agents, the Wat
erhouse Company, is in part as fol-
lows:
The growth of the trees on the
plantation during the past year has
, been satisfactory. No tapping was
done in 1910, but at the end of the
year there we're 10000 trees of tap
pablo size, which were marked ready
for tapping.
The manager, in his 1909 report
stated that $500 trees should be tap
pable in March, 1911, and 10000 trees
before the end of the year. lie also
estimated the 1911 crop at 5000
pounds of dry rubber. The fact that
In March. 1911. we tapped 10000 trees
and obtained 954O pounds of dry rub
Der shows that the plantation has
more than come up to expectations
and that the estimated output of 5000
| pounds for 1911 is likely to be trebled
| His estimate, in the same report, of
expenses for 1910 of $4,000 was ex-
ceeded by sS.SO3.66, the total expend-
lures Mt the plantation for the year
being ys44 ,SO3.66 as against $27, 953.6O
| in 1909.
II is on the wedding that we have
spent more than estimated and. MS
the manager points out, we were for
tunatc in being able to have funds on
hand to accomplish as much as we
have in this line.
Tapping.
Our last years prediction. that tap
ping would be done during 1911 and
that the output would compare favor
ably with the best results on any 9TH
or plantation, is being borne out by
the results obtained to date.
There are so coolies employed on
tapping and factory work. At the be-
ginning of 1910 we had 800 laborers
on the plantation, and on December
81, $50. The average number of lab
orers on the monthly pay roll during
the year has been 3l4

pany this afternoon was featured by

is evident that Hawaii is not the only
place where there is some difficulty
in solving the labor problem.
In his report, Manager Harding

The chief causes Of the large in

Education.
Recommendations.

Bro. President, and members,
We your committee on Education
submit our report. Whereas
there is a growing need among
our people day by day for Edu-
cation along all lines. especially
a Biblical and Industrial Educat-
ion and whereas, Baptists OF
Southern Illinois stands greatly
in need OF UNCONVENTIONAL school
in order to inculcatc Baptist
principles and lay down more
perfect foundation for Baptist
youth that they may be taught
more Systematically in the
doctrine OF the church OF Jesus
Christ, and. whereas TO do this
most effectually school must be
established and maintained largely
by the negro Baptist OF the Stale
OF Illinois, and whereas. the Mt.
Olive Baptist Association Of
Southern Illinois has property
valued at So 900 in the city OF
Metropolis with charter from
the State OF Illinois known as the
I.ivington Normal. and Industrial
College. Therefore We recon-
mend that the trustees prepare to
open said school the ist Monday
in October 1911.
We further recommend that re
newed efforts be put forth by this
convention and all OF its
auxiliaries at once to raise money
to assis, in running the school.
We further recommend that
the missionaries be instructed and
empowered to solicit and collect
money for the College at Me-
tropolis and make their report TO
the Trustee. OF said school at the
Association at Cairo Ill. ia Sept.
1911 in order that we may be
able 10 have money on hand to
foster the school.
