vile, has been pioneer in our state
in the work, having been among the
first in our state which was itself
among the very first of all the
states, to take up this work. Her
experience and wisdom have made
her eminently capable of being of
great assistance to the societies, and
her talk on THE Bible and Prayer
in the life of the Mission Society"
was very instructive and helpful.
Organization and aims of the Sun
beam Band" was discussed in Mrs.
Hatcher's characteristic and inter
esting sty.e. This was followed by
an open discussion of various prob
lens of the Mission Society work.
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
the meeting was assembled again
with devotional service in charge of
Mrs. T. R. Denny of Johnston.
Mrs. A. L. Crutchfeld state cor
responding secretary of the Wo-
mans Missionary Union made a
most instructive and eloo uent ad-
dress on Fifty Years of VYoman's
Work for Foreign Missions.
Mrs. G. E. Watson followed this
with "Some Problems of society
work and how to solve them." At
this time the meeting was divided
into two conferences, one led by
Mrs. w. J. Hatcher demonstrating
her methods of work as Superinten
dent of the Young Peoples work.
She also outlined a Junior Mission
Study class. At the same time in
the Sunday School rooms, Mrs.
Crutchfeld conducted an outline of
mission study with the book South
ern Baptist Foreign Missions" as
the basis. Mrs. T. R. Denny told
in a very interesting manner of
their method of conducting a class
in this text book at Johnston. An
open discussion on Sunbeam work
followed these conferences, led by
Mrs. Hatcher.
At the close of the morning ses-
sion, dinner, very abundant and de-
lightful was served on the grounds
adjacent to the church. The breth-
rem had been invited to participate
in this part of the feast, and those
who came were fully repaid, both
in the dinner, and the hospitality
which the ladies of the Institute,
manifested to them.
At the afternoon service the de-
votions were conducted by Mrs.
Chas. P. Robinson of Chaplin, and
the Organization and aims of Roy
al Ambassadors was most enthu-
siastically presented by Mrs. Hatch
er. Our service through personal
effort was illustrated by chart by
Mrs. w atson, followed Dy an open
discussion.
The Institute was the most sue
cessful held this season, and was
well attended. Delegates were pres
ent from Abbeville, Greenwood,
Bamberg, Johnston, Trenton, Salu-
da, Batesburg. Greenville, Spartan
burg, Lexington, Ridge Spring,
Wards, and many Of the country
churches. Edgefeld association had
full delegations from number of
the churches, but it was regretted
that some societie. were not repre-
sented at all. Altogether it was a
very profitable and happy occasion.

Neighborhood News From Red
Hill.

/
and kind of off day in the regular
church service caused us to have a
small crowd at Sunday school.
However, those who came out en-
joyed being there.
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, Donald
Smith, Miss Sallie Smith and @. M.
Mellichamp were the only represen-
tatives of our church at Mt. Zion
Saturday and Sunday. This was an
unusually small representation of
Red Hill church but last week was
a busy week with the farmers and
the horses and mules were too tired
to be driven such a long distance on
Sunday. Those who attended report
a good meeting. The next union in
this division will be held with the
Ebenezer church at Trenton on the
29th and Soth of July. There will
very likely be a large crowd there
from Red Hill Hill as at this season
the farmers will probably have some
leisure time.
Quite number of the young peo-.
pie from our church attended the
union at Plum Branch.
Mrs. King is still quite sick and
friends and relatives watch anxious
ly around her bed side.
We are glad to report that Mrs.
Bub Bussey is improving from her,
recent illness.
Mrs. Maggie Mcdaniel spent last
week at Modoc.
Cornelius Holmes and John
Quarles, together with their young
brides, went on short visit to their
respective mothers-in-law on zase
Saturday and returned Sunday.
Both of them succeeded in obtaining
a buggy load of good things to
bring back with them. We noticed
that John got back yesterday earlier
than he usually did when he made
those trips alone. Of course there is
a good reason.
Mr.. Editor, / have at last found
some of those strawberries. They
are good, too, and you had better
hurry or your share will be eaten
up.
On next Friday night the teach
ers of our Sunday school will meet
at Mr.. Littlejohn's and study the
lessons for this month together.
This is new undertaking and
we believe will be productive of
good for the Sunday school and we
hope to continue to meet the first
Friday in each month, at different
homes. At these meetings besides
studying the lessons we have a
splendid opportunity to discuss the
various improvements needed in our
Sunday school system and as teach
ers to become better acquainted
with each other and each others
trials and plans and prospects in
the Sunday school work.
We are sorry to hear that Mr..
Floy Graves, who had come over
on a visit from Amity, Ca, lost his
horse Sunday.
There was to be Sunday school
organized at the Mcdaniel school
house yesterday. We have heard no
definite report. We congratulate
them for this worthy undertaking
and wish for them the best of sue
cess.
The question now is who from
this section will be the next to get
married. Cupid seems to be working
quietly, but his work has produced
results lately and we watch with in
terest to see who shall be the next
to fall into his fatal (?) clutches.

Desirable Settlers.

Three hundred and fifty Dutch
farmers and their families have Just
arrived in New York as the forerun-
ners of a contingent numbering 5000,
who will take up homes in the mid
western states. These people are said
to have been obliged to leave their
native land under the impositions Of
extortionate landlords. Most of them
were possessed OF about $1,000 and
many children per family, the money
representing savings from hard-earned
incomes.
No one in the United States can re-
joice over ill-fortune Detailing these
sturdy folk in their native land, but
everyone can rejoice at their coming.
If they must leave Holland, by all
means let them come among us, for
we need newcomers of their kind and
have a welcome and golden oppor-
tunity for all who cast their fortunes
with ours. The Dutch is a sturdy,
steady, indomitable race. They have
infused good blood into the veins of
American citizenship. On such as they
from the old world, this new nation
has largely depended in working out
its own physical development.
People who are able to save that
money-though the amount is not
great-under circumstances so ad-
verse as ultimately to compel them to
abandon their native land, must make
thrifty citizens here They are Just
the sort of people to build up the agri-
cultural sections of Iowa, Nebraska
and other middle western states and
our people could we'll afford to en-.
courage their presence. With the op
portunities they will find here they
will soon have become Independent IN
their own right and in the meantime
their examples of virtue, frugality anC
economy will have done us much good
II these Hollanders are disconnected
with life at home sufficiently to max,
the effort to come to this country
probably others might also respond t,
invitation and If so 1t would not b.
a bad idea for individual states t
employ what legitimate means the
may at missionary work among thes
folk.

The South In the Saddle.

The tentative list OF house chair
manships for the sixty-second con-
gress has been announced Il con-
tains torty-one places Eight Of these
places go to men from northern states
and three. possibly four, to New York.
Placing Missouri among the southern
states. where Il belongs 30 far as It's
democracy goes. out Of forty-one chair
manships three-fourths or more will
go to southern statesmen.
The south Is clearly in the saddle
in the next house. The rider is booted
and spurred; the track is open and
clear before him; n he does not win
the race IL is his own fault No i'm
portant committee chairmanship, ex-
cept appropriations, which Fitzgerald
of New York gets, falls to a northern
congressman.
But since these honors go according
to priority, they had to go to southern
men. The force of the situation
shows how shifting have been the
sands Of northern democracy; or, we
might say, the democracy, since the
south. Of course, votes the ticket by
tradition and habit. There has been
no coherent democracy north of Ma
sons and Dixons line since 1895. The
old organization that year went down
with the crown of thorns" and the
"cross Of gold" and did not come up
again until temporary disaffection in
republican ranks permitted its resur-
rection.
Many democrats believe that Mr..
Bryan long ago determined that If he
could not be president, neither could
any other democrat not of his school
and naming during his day. Thus far
none has, and thus far none seems to
have any bright prospect of It. Mr..
Bryan is still on hand. He says SO
himself; says that while no longer a
candidate for Office, he remains in
politics. The party will be short
sighted to attempt to reckon upon
plans for 1912 without him Let it
look again at the Sixty-second con-
gress and note the dominance of the
south of that part of the party that is
animated only by desire for spoils
and power.

PETULANCE OF JOE BAILEY.

Pittsburg Dispatch: So the country can
not lose him. Nevertheless the opinion will
prevail that when a seator Of mature years
adopts the childish attitude of Il won't
play" he should be left to come out of
that mood on his own initiative.
Washington Post: It will be a source of
satisfaction to the people Of the entire
country that Senator Bailey is to remain
in the senate to debate the great questions
confronting the statesmen of today, throw
ing his great strength to the Gibraltar of
reason in the United states-the consttu-
ton.
New York Sun: What an actor in heavy
melodrama Joe Bailey would have made!
1t seems inartlstic to remind him that the
Arizona constitution and such maniac
notions are not to be beaten-or weakened
by theatrical demonstrations. He re-
minds us strongly OF a Chinese who hangs
himself to spite and haunt his neighbors.
Louisville Courler-Journal: It is a new
idea that a legislator must resign because
his colleagues do not accept his views
that he will not play" unless he can run
the game to suit himself. If Senator Bailey
Is going to resign every time he finds him
self in a minority of his party in the senate
he is likely to do more resigning than any
thing else.
New York Tribune: Mr.. Bailey was
right in his resistance to the m considered
radicalism OF the Arizona constitution, es-
pecially it's recall of judges. If he had

Uncle Joe spurns the Stage.

Some harsh things have been said
of Uncle Joe Cannon. He has been
called the most tyrannical speaker
that ever mauled the house with a
gavel. He has been assailed as a car
representing the interests" He has
even been accused of being a common,
everyday millionaire. But he pro-
poses that no man may with impunity
charge him with aspiring to the stage.
He refuses, at the age of 70, to become
monologue artist; he declines a
golden opportunity to shine as a gate
money performer and no money can
tempt him from his high resolve. He
hurled back at a keen-visioned pro-
moter not long ago an offer that might
have turned green with envy the eyes
of other great statesmen. Now, at
the zenith of his career-or, to be
strictly correct, little on the leeward
side of his zenith--he refuses to con-
slider an offer of $500 a night for 100
nights to peddle preachments for a
lyceum bureau, he to choose his own
subjects and name his dates.
