C., at her home on Tuesday afternoon, when an un usually pleasant and profitable meeting was held with about thirty in attendance. The meeting was conducted by Mrs. Lovick Smith, and the histori an, Miss Mamie Luke,was in charge of a very interesting program. This was as follows: "Causes that led to the war between the states," Mrs. B. E. Nicholson; "Stonewall Jack son," Mrs. J. W. Peak; "Why did the southern states secede?" Miss Hortense Padgett; "Formation of the southern states," Miss Ruth Tompkins. This was followed also by a poem dedicated to Gen. Mar tin ^ary, rendered by Miss Ruth Tompkins. At the close of .he program a de lightful sweet course, consisting of Charlotte Russe and cake was serv ed. . W. C. T. U. Convention at Trenton. The people of Trenton and the unions of Edgefield county enjoyed a delightful day together at the Methodist church on Tuesday last. The object of the meeting xwas to call the unions together and through a program to become better ac-! quain ted with the work and as Mrs. Amy C. Weech of Alexandria, Va., was in our state, and could visit only one point in Edgefield county, it was deemed a very desirable thing to hold a meeting centrally located, convenient to as many of the unions as possible. At eleven o'clock the meeting was called to order by Mrs. J. L. Miras, and the devotions conducted by Mrs. Lucia Larimer of Johnston, who by her own consecrated spirit of service transmitted to the audi ence an inspiration to more activity and devotion to duty. Unions were called upon to tell of their work since the iMoren-'e convention last October and the Loyal Temperance Legion at John ston sent their response throuirh their faithful and efficient leader Mrs. James White who made a very interesting talk on childhood in general, and her own Loyal Tem perance Legion in particular. A very practical aud convincing talk was made by Mri. Rainsford, on "The value of essay contests in making prohibition sentiment." This method of agitating questions of public inter?s: was recognized many years ago by the W. C. T. U. and is now being used by many oth" er organizations as a means of scat tering information broadcast. The children of this genet ation are be ing especially benefitted by the hy gienic instruction in the public .schools in reference to the evil of alcohol and tobacco, and the essays are but added impetus to investiga tion, reaching parents, teachers and children. Mrs. W. E. Lott read some splen did facts in reference to the evils of cigarette smoking, and why they are' an enemy to the boy. Her informa' tion was takt'ii from the very best authority in science and observation and made it very clear that the boy of the future will be compelled to forego tht! cigarette if he really means to succeed. Miss Eliza Mims, by special re quest, sang that favorite sont-, "In tho secret of his presence." "Why should we plan for co-operative meetings?'' was most splendidly presented by Miss Zena Payne. This is the department of cooperation, with missionary societies, and was convincing evidence of the very close relationship between the two christian organizations of women. Mrs. M. P. Wells gave a most thrilling reading entitled "(TO feel what I have felt," written by a young girl who had been accused of being a monomaniac on the sub ject of strong drink. Mrs. W. H. Cogburn, state su perintendent of literature, was un able to be in attendance upon the meeting but sent a mest excellent paper, which was read by Mrs. W. E. Lott, entitled "Sowing temper ance facts." One fact that she quot ed was that "Maine never gained 1 her prohibitory law until the state had |>een sown knee-deep in temper ance literature.1' She said that tem perance facts in leaflet form or on the printed page, while silent mes sengers can never be discouraged or rebuked but with gentle persistence continue to scatter their good work. At this time Mrs.. VVeeoh was called upon for the address of the morninir.Her personality was charm ing and every word she said was pertinent with words of wisdom and inspiration. Evey who came was I glad to have had this unusual op portunity of hearing this gifted and eloquent organizer of the Woman's Christian Tem pei ance Union. At the close of the arid ress a num ber of gentlemen who had come in, were introduced, and Mr. P. N. Lott, whom we all knew to be a great sympathizer and prohibition advocate,came forward and express I ed in his gracious manner his grati fication at having been present. * At this time the hospitality of the Trenton ladies was most cor dially extended, and in the church all w?re seated and the lunch was served. If there are any people in the world who do as little as they can do, they certainly did not live at Trenton on this occasion, for the dinner waa abundant and elaborate and of superior quality. There was a salad course, coffee with whipped cream piled mountain high, and cake of that peculiar Trenton-Har rison variety which has never been elsewhere equaled. At the afternoon service Mrs. Weech presented the subject of "The Union Signal," while Mrs. T. R. Denny of Johnston distributed sample copies and secured new sub scriptions. Mrs. Weech also dis played some beautiful flower mission verses on cards which she said were the composition of her mother who is still living in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Tillman made a very pleas ing and effective talk on the "Value of music in a meeting,'' which was followed by that inimitable song, "The perfect day," by Mrs. R. a. Shannonhouse who has been of such invaluable aid to the W. C. T. U, at Edgefield, in the generous use of her great gift in song. Mrs. J. L. Mims presented the Palmetto White Ribbon, and Mrs. M. P. Wells by special request, gave that encouraging selection, "The south is going dry," and received mach applause. Much regret was expressed at the absenc* of Miss Cleo Attaway, who was detained at her home in Saluda on account of the death of Mr. W. S. Crouch, an honorary member of the Saluda union and the husband of the president of the uuion at that place. There was a considerable number of ladies from Johnston, Edgefield, Harmony and Trenton, the Philip pi and Clark s Hill unions not be ing represented probably on account of the distance and the very cold weather. The Edgefield visitors who re mained in Trenton for the evening ser vise were entertained with Mrs. J. D. Mathis, M rs. Scott and Mrs. T. P. Salter, returning home after the meeting. Mrs. Weech was enter tained also by Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Salter. The evening service opened promptly at 8 o'clock, Rev. J. R. Walker conducting the services and introducing Mrs. Weech, having veiy kindly come over from Edge field for that purpose. The music was very effective, there being two vocal duets, Prof. Scott, principal of the Trenton High School singing with Mr. Vann of Trenton and later with Mrs. Shan nonhouse. Miss Moore, one of the teachers of the High school was or ganist. Mrs. Weech made a very inter, esting and appealing address, tak ing as her subject, "Bones," and making some very practical applica tion of the use of the wrist hone, the jaw bone, the huck bone, in or der to awaken the "dry bones" and li nally thereby to oller up at last as a trophy of victory the ' bones" of king alcohol. The collection amounted lo about $J2 and as many new members were secured. F. A." M. Your Child's Cough is a Call For Help. ' Don't put off treating your Chird's Cough.
