Dr.. J. D. Chapman preached on
Sunday last at the Baptist church.
For this month he is representing
the Edisto Academy, and the cause
that he presented was we'll received,
and a good contribution was given
for the Institution.
The last meeting of the Mary
Ann Buie Chapter, U. D. G., was
held with Mrs. E. D. Meyer, Mrs.
James White presiding. The meet
ing was most encouraging one,
this being the largest attendance of
any meeting during the year. All
reports of officers and committees
showed each one actively engaged.
Four new members were added to
the Chapter roll, Mrs. w. E. Lott,
Edgefeld; Mrs. Ida Stevens, Meet
ling Street; Mrs. Ollie LaGrone and
Miss Eula Taylor. Thee were cor
daily welcomed into the Chapter.
Mrs. Lott is charter member of
the organization, 1895, but after
making her home elsewhere, she has
had her name withdrawn. 1t was
her father. Capt. W. D. Allen, and
father-in.law, Mr.. William Lott,
that brought about the organization
of this Chapter. So it is peculiar
pleasure to again have her name on
the roll.
The visit to the County Home on
Thanksgiving was told of, and the
service held for the inmates.
Plans for. the Lee Celebration
were discussed, and0the matter was
left with the historian, Mrs. o. D.
Black. Several other matters per-
tanning to the Chapter welfare, were
discussed.
The meeting was turned over to
the historian, Mrs. Black, but she
stated that as the reports from the
General and State Convention were
so full of informing matter for the
members, she had arranged only a
short program.
She gave several points of inter-
est concerning the recent Conven-
tion in Union along historical lines.
A flag will be offered next year for
the best historical work, and she
was very ambitious for the Chapter
to again have the distinction of be-
ing the first in the State. She was
guest of honor at the Convention,
and upon request, gave a paper on
"How We Did IT.
The report of the General Con-
vention given by Miss Emma
Bouknight, was very interesting.
The Chapter was delighted to have
her go, and thus not be represented
by proxy. The report of the State
Convention was told by the dele
gates, Mrs. M. IT. Turner and Miss
Zena Payne. Mrs. White; who at.
tended, also gave what most i'm
pressed her.. Awhile was spent So
cially, and the hostess, assisted by
Misses Clevie Meyer and Maud Saw
yer, served ices and cake, which was
greatly enioyed.

Southern Commercial Congress in
