The Winnsboro District Con
ference. *
The Winnsboro District Cor
ference was held in the A. M. E
church May 20-24. For the deli
gat?s, ministers and visitors i
attendance, the pastor, the Rev
J . F Boyd, did all in his po we
1 to make it pleasant.
Those attending the conf?rent
1 were met at Alston and conveye
11?) the church where a large crow
awaited their arrival. Earl;
Thursday morning, long be for
the conference began, the write
met two intellectual giants. The
were L. A. Hawkins LL. B. an
S. ,J. McKnight. They franki
told me that they wanted m
(and all concerned to know tim
I they were candidates forelectio
to ti e General Conference. Afte
they had conversed with me, dis
i playing their knowledge of th
church and the legislation noede
: fur it. I became compelled t
admit that these two live me
are worthy of the honor they seek
lu bis speech before the con
I ference. S. J. McKnigt said tba
he wanted to go to the Genera
Conference because he knew th
wa v. because, as some new mei
would be sent, he would h
need? d to pilot them about: 1'roi
Hawkins said that he wanted ti
go because of his efficiency, man
hood, and principles; because Iv
h (I the courage to strike, in th
right way, at any evil. He sail
Huit he wanted delegates to th
electoral college to come do wi
there, not in any man's pocket
but governed by principle.
In the organization of the con
ference, Rev. J. K Young wa
elected secretary. The Rev. Dr
Curry of St Matthews and th?
Rev. I. J. Pruitt were introduce!
and they made it known tba
they too were candidates fo
ei ction to the [general confer
ence. The Rev. Curry claim;
that he is able to right sonn
wrongs. He wants the disciplini
so changed that women may be
come eligible as delegates to tin
general conference. Rev, I. J
Pruitt gave satisfactory assur
ance that if chosen, he woulc
work for the best interest, of thc
church.
On Thursday night, the annus
sermon was preached by the Rev
Mr. Pvles. As was to lie ex
ported, he preached a soul stir
ring sermon. W hen the reports
were called for on Friday. 1 nevei
!*?w money paid more readily,
No excuse's were he.ird. Al
night the Kev. S. M Bowers oj
Union preached the educational
sermon, lt was a plain spiritual
doctrinal discourse. Saturday J.
S. Martin and J. J. Geter were
elected lay delegates to the an
nual conference which will bc
held in Columbia in November.
Mr. A. P. Harper of White Hall
who. as a layman, is a candidate
for the General Conference was
introduced. He has executive
ability, and is kind, friendly and
lovable. Me made a favorable
impression ?
Sunday was a great day. The
following preachers preached:
Kt a. m.. Rev. M. S. Clean: ll a.
m.. Rev. J. W. Lykes, presiding
el 1er of the district;3 p. m. Rev.
White: 8 p. in. Kev. J. N. Burks.
The sermons were grand espec
ially the one preached by the
presiding elder.
Elder Lykes announced that
over $200 was raised and that
the conference was the best
conference he had held in all his
life.
John S. Martin.

A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
