SANTEE ASSEMBLY MEETING.
Most Enthusiastic and Largely At.
tended ever Held at Bethel Church.

The closing session of .e Santee
sumter Assembly was held in Bethel
Church near Privateer Friday at
noon and marked the end of one of
the most enthusiastic and the most
largely attended Of the sessions which
have been held at the Bethel church.
The addresses of many of the pas
tors present were inspiring and edify-
ing to the highest degree and the
whole meeting was in every way as
successful or more so than any other
which has ever been held on the
grounds. The crowd of persons in at
tendance was larger than formerly,
although the number staying in the
tents which had been pitched on the
grounds was not as large as was the
number which camped out last year.
Many of those in attendance from
outside Of the district stated that they
thought that more people, even than
did, would have attc nded the asS
sembly from off. One Of the prom
inent persons present who strongly
expressed the sentiment was the Rev.
Mr.. Nichols Of Florence county.
The addresses Of DR.. f.. c. Dargan
Of Macon. and DR.. j. :. Dill of Gaff-
ney were truly inspiring and the
audience was carried away by the
speakers. Those who heard these
gifted divines will anxiously await the
time when they can again have the
pleasure of hearing them. Other ad-
dresses and sermons were fine and
were heard with great pleasure by
thosc In attendance DR.. Jeffries of
Edgefield made an especially fine i'm
preston on his audience.
y disappointment to some was the
fact that Dr. z. G.. Cody Of Greenvjlle
and DR.. A. j. Hall were unable to
come to the assembly and they were
much missed. Mr.. j. ID. Moore. the
Sunday school man of the assembly
carried class through one book of
the sunday school course good results
peing expected to follow therefrom.
All of those present spoke of the
me assembly and all felt amply re-
paid for their attendance. The peo-
pie of Bethel church felt more than
amply repaid for their trouble in pre-
pairing for the visitors and making
the arrangements for the assembly
because of the good and pleasure they
derived from it,
The moderator Of the meetings was
Mr. w. q. Wells, who was elected To
serve in the absence of Rrv + y

4 HOOPS ARRIVE AT HOME
Sumter Boys Had an Enjoyable Time
IN Their Annual Encampment

lie Second regiment troops arriv-

having been on their annual encamp-

sunday morning and the troops loft
Admission about 10 o'clock and arriv-
ed at home some time during Non
day morning, after having had pleas
ant trip all the way.
The officers from Sumter who were
In attendance upon the encampment
report having had most cc+Ssful
encampment in fact the encampment
was said by some of them to have
peen the most successful in many re-
spects which has ever been held. The
camp and grounds were much better
Sul'ed Tor such an encampment than
that at Chickamauga and were very
much more beautiful than the lat
ter grounds. The South Carolina
troops were always in the van in the
skirmishes and sham battles and their
camp was complimented as the clean
est on the grounds by the army Of
hcers. The Palmetto State troops also
had the pleasure of hearing their
flag Justify cheered by the people of
Admission when they paraded through
that town on their return from the
sham battle Saturday morning. The
sumter company was always at the
head Of the battalion which led The
regiment and was therefore one of
the most prominent in tlfl manoeu-
vers.
The South Carolina troops stood the
encampment in fine shape There
was very little sickness among them
and very few arrests, in fact. less
than on other encampments a fact
on which they can congratulate them
selves. There We're only two men in
the Sumter company sick while on the
encampment. The Sumter boys SEEM
ed IN good spirits and did not show
any Of the marks Of hard work Mon
day morning when they resumed
their work as usual upon their return
to the city. In fact, as one of the Of
ficers remarked, the encampment was
harder on the officers this year than
on the men, for the officers were in
the school Of instruction much longer
each day than the men.
The special train on which the men
returned arrived in town between s
and I and after the disembarkment Of
the Sumter and Orangeburg compa-
nies. left for Hartsville. Darlingt )n,
Florence, Timmonsville and BENEFITS
vile to take the other companies
home. The Orangeburg com oany Sc
cured a special train and was taken
home on that.
