The Cokesbury District Conferencecon-
vened with the Honea Path Methodist

by Rev. E. B. Taylor, of Princeton.
! At 8 o'clock Thursday morning the
Presiding Elder, j. Is. Campbell, called
the Conference to order. After roll call,
Rev. J. NJ. Steadman was elected Secre-
| tary and T.. e. Epting assistant. Revs.
| M. McGee and A. G. Stepp were introduc-
| ed to the Conference. The reports from
| the various charges were then taken up
and continued at intervals during the
Conference. These reports showed con-
siderable growth in the various depart
ments of Church work. and brought out
the fact that nearly all the pastors are OPP
nosed TO employing the modern evangel-
| 'ist. and resolution was passed that 1t
should not be done.
Able sermons were preached during the
| Conference by Revs. j. B. ,TrayWlck, j.
| G. Stoll, John o. Wilson, Brabham,
J. nj. Steadman, J. B. Campbell and DR..

Campbell ut the Baptist Church on Sun

Church were especially fine.

About seventy-fve delegates were in

sented. ALI the pastors were present ex,
cept P. Kilgo. of Greenwood Station, and

whom were kept away by sickness.

Rev. E. B. Taylor, and resolution was
passed instructing all the pastors to

and the 3Oth of August.
A protracted meeting is in progress at
| the Methodist Church this week, and the
congregations are good, notwithstanding
the busy time. Rev. w. w. Daniel, Of
Newberry, is conducting the meeting, and
we trust that God will make his able
preaching a blessing to the Church and
I community.
Honea Path has had so many prominent
visitors during the past week that we will
not attempt to give any personals along
| that line.
The Conference is over. but we still see
some frying chickens. We are informed
that they are waiting for the Association.
Mr.. J. e. Harper is teaching at Friend
ship. Mr.. Paul S. Cox has gone to take
charge of his school again, after few
weeks vacation.
Miss Lizzie Brock will close her school
on Friday, 29th inst. We understand that
she has had very successful session.
Politics is talked great deal, but the
| excitement has subsidized anG good humor
generally prevails. Wouldn't 1t be wise
| for all the Democratic Clubs at their
meetings next Saturday to pass resolu-
tions asking that the State campaign
meeting be not held in this County?
Mr.. T. j. Clatworthy has had his house
painted, and it now presents beautiful
appearance.
Under direction of Mr.. Hayne, the
wooden store-rooms of Main Street have
been moved back several feet, giving
more room on the street and .. better ap-
pearance to the town. We would suggest
that thorough painting would be great
Improvement to those buildings.
uA large number Of our people expect to
90 on the excursion to Tallulah Thurs
day. PoP.
