ABOUT FRAUDS.

A few days ago we received note
from friend and patron in an adjoin
ing county, making inquiry about an
obscure mutual insurance company
that was writing policies in his neigh
borhood, and convincing a goodiy
number of his neighbors that the
royal road to fortune was through
the patronage of the company. We
know nothing of this particular
company, but from the papers before
us, it looks very much like a fraud,
and we so wrote our friend. 1t is
astonishing how much money is sent
out of East Tennessee every year
for the support of cheap frauds, and
we do not suppose that our people
are easier gulled than the people Of
other communities. IF the money
that has gone out of East
Tennessee in the last ten years for
the support of lottery enterprises,
cheap, trashy publications, worthless
patents, vile nostrums, swindling life
insurance associations and other pet
ty schemes for cheating the unwary,
had been invested in manufac-
turing enterprises, it would have add
ed many thousands of dollars to our
material wealth. Had it been invest
ed in an educational institution it
would have been sufficient to sup
port more prosperous college than
any now in Tennessee. Had it been
devoted to building churches, it
would have paid for a frst>class
house of worship in every county in
East Tennessee.
Now as to the particular case we
have nothing to say. But generally,
if our readers in the country
or in the cities and towns
want a life insurance policy, there
are plenty of good companies in
which they may insure, and they
will find in the end, that it is better
to patronize them than to patronize
institutions that have no standing
with well informed business men.
Or if they desire to join some co..
operative life insurance association,
there are many that have stood the
test of years, and it is better to
join them. When you meet with the
representative of these character
less institutions in the rural districts
steer clear of them. If you have
money to invest, rest assured that it
is poor economy to invest it
where you are promised large and
unreasonable returns

WHAT Is THERE IN A NAME ?

Our Southern Methodist friends,
some of them, evidently think there
is a great deal One of the most ex-
citing discussions of the General
Conference which has just closed it's
sessions at Nashville, grew out of a
proposition looking to a change in
the name of the Church. The props
osition is to do away with the suffix,
South" Some propose to call it
the episcopal Methodist Church, :"
others the Methodist Church of
America" and one delegate said if
the name was changed at all it should
be called the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Christ" A proposition
was finally adopted submitting to a
vote of the Annual Conferences the
second of the above designations ::
Methodist Episcopal Church of
America"
Ii a majority of the conferences
should adopt that as the name of
the church, the question will come
up in the General Conference Of
1886, to be ratified or rejected. We
may expect the question to be gen
orally discussed in the next four
years, and it is one on which great
deal may be said ON both sides. We
notice in the discussion that the
members of the conference in the
northwest were almost unanimously
in favor of making The change. They
agree with remarkable unanimity
that the suffix .ESouth" stands as a
barrier in the way of the progress
and success of the church. One
delegate said that unless it is drop
ped there may as well be a Chinese
wall built around the church.
In our opinion, some of our South
ern Methodist friends in that church
attach undue Importance to name.
If the obnoxious suffix is unpopular
anywhere, it grows out of histori-
cal fact and not mere designation.
No change of name can wipe out the
fact that the division in this great
branch of the Christian church grew
out of the slavery question. There
being no longer a slavery question
impartial observers find it difficult t.
name reason why there should b.
a division at all, and it is the settlet
opinion of great many persons tina
the Methodist Church will not &C
complish so much for good as if i
were one in organization as it is on
in aim and purpose.
The discussion to grow out of thi
proposition win be deplored by many
but we believe it will result in goo
to the church and to til
country. It will develo
the weakness of the position of an
in either branch of the church VIII
are opposed to organic union. TIL
fact that such proposition is mad
at all shows that there is leaven s
work, and we believe if it were left
vote of the great body of Metho
dists, North and South, they woul
vote in favor OF a union of the tw
branches. Ii they do not favor it a

a patriotic duty, they would as re-
igious duty. We expect that in the
discussion of this question great
many foolish and absurd things will
be said, nevertheless we believe it
will result in the welfare of Metho-
dism and of the country.
