Republican missionary society was the hostess on Tuesday last for the meeting of the rally of the 2nd division. The speakers and visitors who left Edgdfield on Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock did not study^well the distance to be traveled, as it was about 12 o'clock when the journey's end was reached. As they arrived however, there was every evidence that many had already reached the church and the singing was in prog ress. At Republican, we found one of the very best choirs yet found in our county, Mrs. Bradley who ia in charge of the Colliers school being the very efficient organist and also a part of the choir. Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn president of the Sind division was in charge of the meeting, and Rev. J. T. Lit tlejohn., pastor of the church and Rev. P. B. Lanham were also pres ent. Reports from the societies were heard f rom, most of them having representatives! The first speaker was our beloved and honored missionary John Lake who made one of his inspiring and soul stirring addresses on China and the especial needs of the fields and the suggested aid to them in the Judson Centennial for which fund a very substantial collection was taken. At the close of this address all the congregation was cordially in-' vited to partake of what proved to be a very delightful and tempting ' repast out under the beautiful trees of this splendid old church. After dinner all the congregation repaired to the church, and heard Mrs. L ike tell many interesting and quaint customs and incidents of the Chinese life and of their -palhetiP needs. In' Chinese costumes she and Mr. Lake and Mrs. Tillman, who had been an apt pupil in learning a Chinese song, gave a pleasant mo ment to the congregation, trans lating from English into Cbinese that popular child-song "Jesus loves me." Mrs. Geo. E. Davis of Orange burg, the state superintendent of Y. VV. A. work for South Carolina,was present and impressed the great need and opportunity for the work among the young women of South Carolina. Mrs. Davis had air read} won the hearts of the Edgefield giris at Denmark and at Mt. Creek and likewise the girls of this section ex pressed their intention of early or ganizing in the Colliers community, j At th 3 close of Mrs. Davis'ad- j dress, Mrs. Tillman by special re quest, gave some "Glimpses of the Holy land" and this was a great benefit and of exceeding interest to all thc hearers, all of whom were thc more interested on account of the personality of the speaker. The ladies as well as the nun of Republican manifested great hos pitality and interest in the meeting and added in the largest measure to the success of the occasion. The party who left Edgefield on Tuesday morning, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Lake, Mrs. Geo. Davis, Mrs. Faunie Tompkins, Mrs. Till man and Mrs. J. L. Mime, partook of the hospitality of that ideal home, Rose Cottage, where reside the friends of every good cause, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn. On Wednesday morning, having partaken of a refreshing breakfast, the party betook themselves to Plum Branch fifteeu miles away. At the appointed time, 10:3? the ral Iv of the thiid division met at Plum Branch church, Mrs. G. M. Sexton, president of the division in charge, and Mr? S. T. Adams as secretary. This was indeed a splen did occasion, all of the societies largely represented, except Red Oak Grove which had sent their delega tion to Republican the day before on occount of the convenient dis tance. At this meeting Mrs. Bracknell of Plum Branch welcomed the visitors very cordially and Mrs. Tillman was given the first place on the program. This was followed with a ten minutes talk from Mr. Boze raan on the orphanage at Green wood. Mr. Lake then caine to the platform and gave many new and thrilling scones in old and new China and presented the cause of Judson Centennial or explaining its purpose. A"substantial amount was received here informally, as a col lection for this purpose had already been taken some months ago. Those who could not give wished that they could, and those who would not must indeed have been hard to im press. The dinner on the grounds was most elaborate and bf such a variety that the most fastidious could not have gone away hungry. There was a delectable morsel for everybody. At the afternoon session Mr. Lake conducted the devotions and Mrs. Davis presented her especial work in her characteristic and ear nest way, clearly impressing upon E cordi; come i mer merchandis ially to the folio WILSON LINI including Handkerchiefs, only five button coat shirt The Florsheii Th Both unex^celjed for servie a permanent -cus?

"The Lord is ray Shepherd" was sung by Mr?. Harris of Troy, Mrs. Davis of Orangeburg and. Mrs. Till man of Eischeid.' At the close of this hour greatly to the i egret of the Edgefield party most of them had to begin the 23 mile journey for home in order to reach EdgeHeld before nightfall. Mr. and Mrs. Lake remained, .Mrs. Lake in her sweet and gracious man ner bringing home to the congrega tion ihe urgent needs of China. As the meeting closed Mr. and Mrs. Lake sinix God be with you till we meet again" in Chinese and gave'their hand in farewell to their beloved friends and missionaries who expect soon to return to the far away conn ty. F. A, M. Three Boxes Bid lt. Jeter Street Man Tells of Hia Cure. Mr. Paul's work brought a strain on Bis kidneys, which resulted in a bad attack of various aches and pains. This (rouble might have be come more serious had not Doan's kidney pills been used. Three boxes made a cure, read about it.
