G. Kelly, who had been charged with
raising fund, the interest OF which
was to be used in the education OF
ministers daughters. He said he had
not pressed the work, fearing that it
would conflict with work for super

j. @. Pu nam asked and was granted
supsrauuated relations. By the rites
OF the church those who k this rela-
ton can have no part in the fund for
the relief OF supsrsnuated preachers
for twelve months. When Mr.. Put

tire from the room, and DR.. M Fer
rim, in brief speech, put his
condition before he conference. He
had bsen one of the most faithful and
Efficient members, having filled many
important eiatiors, from presiding
elder down. He knew that he was
without the means to live on until he
could share in the superanusted fund,
and his co.workeIs must not

empty hands. A good brother

New ORLEANS La, October 9.-The
National Cotton Exchange crop re-
port for the month of September says {:
"The promises ind Gated during Au-
gust in the Atlantic Safes and Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana have
not been fulfilled during the past
month, and the crop prospects, there
fore, in these sections have been low
cred. This has been occasioned, no
doubt to great extent, by the
marked spotted condition Of the
plant during previous months aud the
consequent different weather infiu-
ences nesded In even adjoining fielde.
Tennessee, Arkankas and Texas, in
the order nsme1, maintlin their
former high rating, aud barring in the
latter STATE recent rains and local dep.
relations by worms, no particular
complaint Is made. az course, certain
sections in both Arkansas and
Texas had already been badly hurt by
dtouth and show no improvement.
In the eastern half OF the belt, and the
country contiguous thereto, the staple
is mentioned as OF an unusually high
grade, while elsewhere fears are freely
expressed Of loss in that re7peCt from
the late heavy rains. Owing to the
general lateness of the crop, cary frost
Is referred to as a very C ded element
in the probable quito me. Following
is the condit on of the crop by States

Ovation to the Next Gov.
ernOr.
ESPECIAL TO THE APpEAL.l

CONVICTION, Tenn, October @
The candidates for Congress- spoke
here today to large audience made
up of both parties. Mr.. Phslan de-
voted himself mainly to a discus sion
of national aid to education, and ably
defended his position upon this ques-
ton. He quoted from Madison, Mon
roe and Jackson to show the three
various constructions placed upon the
general welfare CLAUSE. He showed
that the old Federalist construction,
which made this clause q substantive
grant of independent power, bad
died with Hamilton. The. ex-
tremely strict construction, which
limited the authority to raise
money to the expressed enume-
ration of powere, had at first been
adopted by the Democratic leaders,
but subsequently had been abandoned
by Madison az President or run as by
Monroe snd Jackson. The coustruc.
ton given by thes leaders was to re-
gard the general welfare clause as a
qualification or limitation OF the tax
ing power, requiring the appropria-
tions to be for the general welfare in
distinction fromany particular interas'.
This construction, which allowed the
General Government to raise money
in order to provide for a general pui-
puse, had been accepted by Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Pierce. Mr..
Phelan read citations from various
messages and documents TO prove his
position. He illus rated the idea by
Monroe's veto in 1922 of the bill az
pTopriating money to the Cumberland
road. He had vetoed this, net be-
cause it YVES appropriated I'M
der the genrral welfsrs clause, but
because it retsine d Jurisdiction over the
road itself. He said that under this
construction it was unconstitutional to
establish system of public schools in
the States under Federal supervision,
but that it was entirely constitutional
to appropriate money to aid tho pres
ent system, no supervision being re-
tanned by the General Government. He
WIS answered by Mr.. Taylor, who dis
cussed the general issues, and made
good speech. He discusses
the questions of the day ably
and well, and is d. SERVED y

TRENTON, 1ENN., October 9-The
Taylor brothers arrived at Tran IN
this morning at 10 o'clock. Other
towns mey have made finer displays at
their advent, other places msy have
been as enthusiastic, but Trenton, the
county seat of old Gibson, gave Bob
the most joyous, whClesouled reCep.
ton which has been given him in his
triumphant march over the State.
Several thousand people were at the
depot. Bob, pushing his way through
the crowd stepped upon the platform,
and was lif ed upon a bale of
cotton. Jas. r. Deason Introduced
him. He said in conclusion: Our
people hold you in h 'gh est eem. They
have confidence in your ability and
unfaltering trust in your integrity,
and an answering faith in your purity
of purpose, and as an evidence Of this,
in their late convention they in
structed their delegates to give you
their solid vote in this county. With
out one disst ming voice every Demo-
cratic house throws wde its doors TO
receive you, every Demo era ic heart
throbs warmly fer you and every
Democratic hand will do valiant ser
vice for you. In tho name Of all
welcome you here today" BIB re.
sponded: 81 know that old Gibson
county has been wonderfully kind to
me, and for every Democrat in the
county l have warm place in my
heat. 1t is not fit for me to make a
spec oh now, but for this great recep-
ton and for the kind feeling
you bear for me accept the sincere
thanks OF a most grateful heart"
He was escorted to carriage
decorated with whits ribbons and ut
the hesd Of an immense and enthusi-
astic procession drove to the hotel.
ALI, too, had process sion not SO long
as that which followed Bob, but very
enthusiastic. A number of ladies'
were waiting in the parlof of the hotel
to shake the hand of the next Govern
or. The gallant Knight of the White
Rose g. ton ed the parlor with smile
and shook their hands, saying
a pleasant word to each. One
girl had dark eyes, dark
hair, light complexion, cheeks rosed
over with the crimson blush Of mod
esty, the p1e'tiest girl in Tennessee.
Bob kissed her-yes he did-and said,
go tell your mother" She replied,
"You are the first man that ever
kissed me and l sm proud OF it."
There were over 5000 people ir the
