The Convention proper will be open
ed with devotional services at =
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, but the
conference of Baptist ministers will
be held Monday evening.
The session of Tuesday afternoon
will be mainly devoted to the hearing
of reports from the various boards
of the church.
The Convention sermon will be
preached Tuesday evening at E3O
O'Clock by the Rev. Philip ]. Mclean,
D. D., OF Aiken, or by his alternat',
the Rev. J. S. Dill, D. D. of Gaffney.
There are two propositions to come
before the Convention this year which
are expected to call forth considerable
discussion. These are the proposal for
the establishment of Baptist Sanl-
tarium and the removal of permanent
State headquarters to Columbia.
The report of the committee on san
itarium will report at the session OF
Wednesday evening. Rev. Louis Bits
tow, pastor of the Abbeville church,
is chairman Of this committee, and
from the letters he has received from
many prominent members of the de-
nomination in all parts of the State,
it is quite likely that the convention
will act favorably upon this matter
Already several towns and cities are
making active preparations to secure
the location of the sanitarium. Among
these are Abbeville, Anderson, Green
wood, Columbia and Rock Hill. The
Rev. Louis Bristow went to Columbia
Monday to confer with citizens of that
city who are anxious to have the san
itarium located there in the event OF
it's establishment. 1t is understood
that the Colonial hotel property has
been offered as a site by Columbians
interested in the movement.
A committee has been making a
canvass of Abbeville in an effort to
raise an amount sufficient to make an
attractive offer. The committee has
met with much encouragement.
The committee on the establishment
of headquarters at Columbia will sub
nit it's report at the session Of Wed
nesday afternoon.
The Convention will remain in ses-
sion until Thursday evening.

Historical Sketch

The Abbeville' Baptist church is a
fruit of the labors of the Rev. R. n.
Pratt, who also established several
other churches in the county. The act
ual organization of the church was in
January, 1871, by the Rev. C. H. Toy,
then a professor in the Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary in Greenville, S. c.,
who still lives, being a professor emer-
titus in Harvard college, Cambridge
Mass.
The original record of the organi-
zation, after reciting the fact Of Doc
tor Toys preaching, reads: after
this, letters were handed in from
Bethany, dismissing Bro. R. P. Quar-
les, and also from Anderson, dismiss
ing Sister S. A. Breazeale; these be-
ing read by the Rev. DR.. Toy. These
persons determined to unite them.
selves together into church organi
zation, to be called the Abbeville Bap.
tist church" In it's beginning this was
a church of two members. There are
now 2S2 members.
Later in the year 1871, Phoebe
Morse was received into the church
and in 1872 the record shows that Mrs
Agnes w. Quarles, Fannie Sullivan
and Dora Breazeale (now Mrs. Eu.
gene F. Bates, Of Greenville, S. c.
were received. In 1873 three other
members were received, one of whom
is still member, Mrs. Sallie M. Will
son. she being, therefore, today the

London, Nov. 23.-Mcre than 10000
men have been killed ind more than
100000 wounded in the Balkan war
thus far, according to estimates today,
by experts, who said their figures prob
ably erred on the side OF conserVa-

Exactness, it was agreed, Is i'm
possible as each side has exaggerated
the enemy's and minimized its own
losses. But two or three correspond
ents and perhaps half dozen foreign
military observers have been permit
ted to see any actual fighting. No
official casualty lists have been is

councils of the coming days His was
the longest, most difficult subject of
the evening, and he deeply impressed
the audience with his views.
In eloquent and appropriate words,
Mr. Louis ". Duva1 then presented the
diplomas to the graduates, and the
second chapter in the book Of life was
for them ended.
The boy and girl chorus again took
the stage and rendered another pretty
song, after which Rev W. H Cole
man feelingly pronounced the 'benedic-
ton, and the commencement exercises
of 1912 We're over. As the audience
began to move out the schoOlboyS on
the stage babe them goodbye with
their school yell, which made the cur
tains flap and many peoples hearts
jump, and was followed by a general
laugh.
All the essays and orations Of the
graduates will be found in full on the
| third and fourth pages of today's pa
| per They are all good and, will not
only be interesting to the Immediate
| friends of the graduates, but will re-
1 pay the perusal of any one.

SEVERE on SUNDAY SPORTS

The committee on Sabbath obser-
vance of the general assembly Of the
Northern Presbyterian church, in SEES
sion at Louisville. made the following
report on golf, Saturday:
"Nine-tenths of those who enter pris-
on started that way by Sabbath break
ing. largely by Sunday sport. 100000
caddies are kept from Sunday school by
golf"
Recommendations of the committee
provide that the assembly reiterate Its
strong and emphatic disapproval OF
all secular use of the Sabbath, all
games and sports in civic life, as also
in the army and navy, all unnecessary
travelling and all excursions, and urge
upon all employers of labor and cap
tains of industry to recognize the Ia
boring mans need of his greater eff
ficiency and happiness and the greater
prosperity of both capital and labor.
The committee turns the spot light on
Washington, severely scoring the cap
ital for continued and increasing
laxity in Sabbath observance" The
Sunday newspaper is condemned.
The Northern Methodists, thru their
general conference at Minneapolis, are
quite as strict by a vote of 446 tc
369, the conference voted to leave un-
changed, the church discipline's para
graph $50, which prohibits dancing
card playing and kindred amusements
So it seems that poor humanity mus
take it's choice between spending c
monotonous existence here and going
| to hell hereafter.

Murderer and Ex-Minister RichesOn

Morning

Boston, May 21.-Clarence V. T.
Richeson was electrocuted at 12:l1
this morning. The current was turned
on at 12:10:O2 and the prisoner was de-
clared dead at 1911.
Richeson was outwardly calm when
he entered the death chamber, and he
maintained his compOsure while the
straps and electrodes We're being ad-
justed he sat in the electric chair.
Richeson walked to the chair erect,
Ieyes straight ahead, until he sat down.
Then he closed his eyes and kept them
shut until the end.
When the officials and witnesses for
the execution entered the death cham
Der after walking through the prison
iyard in a pelting rain, they heard
sounding through the walls the strain
| of song. 1t was Richeson and his
| spiritual advisers. Mr. Johnson and
| chaplain Stebbins singing. Distinctly
audible as they closed were the words:
For know. what Ger befall me
Jesus doeth all things we'll"
! Richeson left his cell smiling at
1908. He was dressed plainly in a
black cheviot suit. a frock coat, white
vest, white shirt, turned-down collar
and a black bow tie, with gold studs
| on MS shirt front anu Win low DldCh
shoes, brightly polished. His head
was shaved down the middle.
| The party then entered the chamber
| Richeson, accompanied by the clergy
men followed soon after, the unfrock-
ed minister appearing as calm as either

i AS Richeson settled himself slowly
in the electric chair and threw back
! his head and closed his eyes, the min
lister turned to Hebrews and read

MILL SHUTS DOWN

The Crookston mill stopped saw
ing at $3.50 Friday afternoon after
having finished the cut of last win
ter. The mill ran nearly thirty
three weeks and the lumber sawed
was little more than that sawed
in 1911. Most of the men will leave
at once for the woods and the others
will be employed in the mill dur
ing the winter. The planning mill
will be operated for several months.
During the winter, an addition is
to be built on the north end of the
mill. This will house saws which
will cut the logs in half as they come
out of the laks. With the new steam
skidders which the Crookston COM
pany has put in this year, the COM
|pany will take out of the woods logs
of double length. and then cut them
once more at the mill just after they
come out of the lake. -.
The Bemidji mill has a good sup
ply of logs on hand and will con-
tinue to cut until freezing weather.

were complete last night from the

the vote won't be known for some
