Two Pleasant Occasions at the
S. C.. C.I.

Mr.. Editor: AS you were not able
to attend, and knowing your inter-
est in the S. C. c. l., we feel con-
strained to write you of two profta-
BILE meetings we have attended there,
within the last few days. On Friday
afternoon the elocution class of
Miss Lille Mae.a.Bailey gave reci-
tai, which was much enjoyed by all.
The girls acquitted themselves well,
and did credit to their faithful teach
er. A chorus, by crowd of lovely
girls, with Mrs. Bailey and Mrs.
Entzminger at the piano, was beau
tiful.
On Saturday night, DR.. Burts ad-
dressed the boys of the F. L. S. He
was introduced by Mr.. Johnston,
president of the society. His tribute
to DR.. Burts was fine, and no doubt
voiced the sentiments of all present.
We wish all the boys could have
heard DR.. Burts' address. His theme
was Luck" and he proved that
there is no such thing as luck, but
it is pluck, that boys must have to
succeed in life.
Misses Blanche Landrum, Nell
Jones and Annie Cantelou rendered
beautiful music for the occasion.
We think. we ''Buncombites'' are
blessed in living so near the col
.lege, where we. can have advantage
of its entertainments. Col. Bailey
has done, and is doing great deal
for Edgefeld in keeping up the
school, and having such noble Chris
tian men and women for teachers.
Eternity alone will reveal the good
he has done.
I can't tell you how rejoiced we
all are at your recovery. Do hope
you will soon be strong again, a nd
able to resume your work, for
next to the Baptist Courier, there is
no paper like the dear old Advert
ser. 1t ought to be in every home.
Right here let nae say as a friend,
that you, too, are doing good work,
one that will live on, after you have
passed away.
A True Friend.

DIR. Burts Accents.

The daily papers announce that
DR.. G. E. Burts accepts the call to
the first church of Columbia. We
rejoice in his decision, though we
sympathlze keenly with Edgefeld.
DR.. Burts is eminently fitted for the
large responsibilities of this impor-
tant pastorate. In body and mind
and heart he has been shaped for
such task. And it is a great task
that he is called to. There is not an
ether pastorate in the state more i'm
portant.
Columbia is the second city of the
state in size and almost the first in
commercial importance. 1t is the
center of our political life and the
seat of the state university. The First
Baptist church because of its loca-
tion and the Glong continued infu-
ence of great pastorss is in closest
touch with the whole life of the
capital and has responsibility Sec
ond to none in the state.
But just at this time because of
the new life coming into our mis-
sion work in the capital, Columbia
is alive with the possibilities of a
great Baptist campaign. The state
mission board has seen the new day
and has fully realized its own large
responsibilities in this field and has
also been unusually fortunate IN Sc
curing the services Of missionaries
who do things.
The coming of DR.. Burts to this
field of unusual responsibilities and
possibilities is not an ordinary pas
toral change. 1t has significance for
the whole state. And we voice the
general feeling of satisfaction when
we say that the great charge has
been placed in worthy hands. Above
all else DR.. Burts is true man
with genuine loving heart in his
breast. Men love him and trust him
and lean on him. He takes large
interest in public questions and will
be a tower of strength for all legis-
lation that makes for righteousness.
We have not in our midst de-
nominational leader more trusted.
All the boards want him. He is fra
ternal, aggressive, wise; and the
noble workers of Columbia will be
greatly strengthened by his coming.

Delightful Valentine Party.

On Friday evening at the home
of Mrs. Mary J. Norris, the young
er set of Edgefeld were entertained
by Miss Helen Tillman, at a most
pleasant and unique valentine party.
The decorations were white and red.
Hundreds of hearts hung in grace
full festoons and unique designs in
the hall, reception rooms and din
ing room. A postofice which re-
ceived nothing but valentines was
placed in the hall, and each one re-
ceived and gave a valentine. Con-
tests and other arausements helped
to while away the delightful season.
Fruit punch and a salad course and
sweets were abundantly served.

clining rapidly in spite of treat
ment by doctors and other remedies
which I used. For twenty years l

Gus kinds, with little benefit.

ALL the vital organs, the blood and

forces, are supported by the stomach,
which is therefore the conservator
of life and health. When the stom-
ach has been abused, all sorts of
disorders ensue, maladies of most
kinds being due to arrangement of
its functions. Indigestion and dys-
pepsia are the most common results.
The liver becomes inactive, creating
billiousness and worse; the bowels
become constipated, and their fail
ure to oust the fecal matter affects
the entire systemThe kidney also pay
the penalty of this neglect-suffer-
ing and disease soon gain control.
If your health is not all that it
should be, get treatment of Coop

MANY DELEGATES ATTEND
CONFERENCE At MEMPHIS

All signs point TO a most successful
meeting at the All-South Conference,
which opened at Memphis this morning
following the enthusiastic reception
accorded to Director General D. G. Col
lier of the Panama-C California Interna-
tional exposition and Managing Direc-
tor Dave Of the Southern Commercial
Congress in every city of the south
These two men have tured the south
|ern states from El Paso, Texas to Ra-
leigh North Carolina, and every where
they have preached the gospel of the
south, have urged the chambers of
commerce and the citizens of the cities
visited, and of elsewhere, to get to-
Igether in a movement to route west
bound passengers through the states
of the south Every city they visited
has adopted the slogan and appointed
delegations to attend the All-South
Conference at Memphis.
This conference is made up of dele
gates from chambers or commerce,
boards of trade, hotel men and railroad
men, Every business man in the south
who is interested in the development
of this section is desired either in per-
son or in spirit. Colonel Collier is a
visible result of organized boosting" "
He is from San Diego, Cal, and has
made the south see that there is a
community of interest between South.
ern California and the states of the
south. He declares that of the 700, 900
tourists who travel to California every
year, only one in 20 ever reach a city
in the south 1t is to divert at least
nine more of these twenty that the
AIl-South Conference will devote its
efforts The movement already has
resulted in a "get together" spirit
never before manifested between the
cities of the south and the meeting at
Memphis will further cement this
movement.

Governing Procedure.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.-The su-
lpreme court of the United States con
yened at noon today after four
months recess. 1t will remain in ses-
sion until the last of next May and will
consider as many of the 500 cases now
piled on the docket as time will per
nit.

pose of about 400 cases during the
term and many cases will be docketed
before next June Members of the
court have arrived in the city with the
Expectation of starting Monday

first to arrive, while Justices Harlan,
McKenna, Holmes, Lurton Hughes,
Vandeventer and Lamar all returned to

members of the court returned from
their vacations to do other routine

Lurton and Vandeyenter are to com
plete their work if possible at an early
date of revising equity rules of fed
eral courts

mendations soon. These recommends
tions will be considered by the COM
mittee of the court, headed by the

rules prepared or promulgated by the
Tribunal During the summer, Justice
lLurton spent some time in England
learning directly the impressions Of
the Englist jurists, who recently pre-
pared new equity rules for the courts
of their country.

HOW STEPHENSON'S
MONEY WAS SPENT.
OF the Total of $1o7,793 Spent in Cam
paign, $99,os3 Was Paid Out
Through One Manager.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 8. : 1t was
such as touches" "a hammer" and
"picnics" were brought as a part of
the campaign expenses of Senator
Stephenson in the investigation of
charges that he had secured his cleo
tion through bribery and corruption be-
fore the senatorial committee Satur-
day The details were given by Rod
ney Sackett, one of the Stephenson
campaign managers, in response to an
announcement by Senator w. B. Hey
burn chairman, that the total ex-
penses of $1O7,793 would have to be
explained to overcome the presump-
tion that it had not been wrongfully
spent
Some of the items given to Sackett
to further explain were:
Genera lexpenses for organizing
state, $46,O52
Milwaukee county, 1850.
Office expenses, $4074.
Telephones, $5,250.
Postage, $1,000.
Sundry bills, $8,852
Nomination papers, $40.
One man attend colored picnic, $50.
Campaign buns, $72
Trip through Ghetto, three men, $35.
One man to another picnic, $40.
Touches by two old soldiers, So.
a hammer, SO.
Of the total expenditures Sackett
handled $98 ,0S3
Asked to explain what was meant by
the touches" and "trip through the
Ghetto" the witness said he did not
know as that probably was ordered
paid through his office on authority of
other managers.
"As the responsible custodian of the
Senator Stepenson fund and knowing
that you were required by the law of
Wisconsin to render an itemized ac-
count of every item over $5, it would
seem that you have not paid much at
tention to the subject" said Senator
Hepburn.
The newspaper advertising in the
campaign, Sackett said, amounted to
$12696 and in one instance Senator
Stepenson paid $1,000 for a list of
farmers names, paying for them at
the rate of cent name and an extra
one-half cent for each subsequent use
of the names. The money for nicnics
ne said, was to cover the expenses of
men sent to arouse interest in Sena.
tor Stephenson's behalf.
At the afternoon session the com
mittee adjourned until today, on ac.
count of the death of United States
circuit court Judge Warrels, formerly
state senator
