AGAINST CIGARETTES.
Resolutions Adopted by the Western
N. T.. Conference.


The Asheville Citizen, received Nov.
Oath, says: 'sThe anti-cigarette reso-
luton which passed the conference
yesterday was signed by DR.. @. w.
Byrd, DR.. j. Fl. Weaver, W. r. Ware
and Il. f. Mari, clerical. and
j. G. Staples, lay, members of
the Conference. This resolution
strongly opposed both the man
ufacture and sale of cigarettes
upon the ground that their use is a
curse, aud it was passed by a practi-
cally unanimous vote. But the most
remarkable thing in connection with
it was the disposition On the part OF
some members of the confere nce to
suppress the fact that it had been
passed by the body"
Rev DR. Greasy was shown the Cit
iZen's statement. He remarked, after
reading it, that the resolution passed,
but he knew OF no attempt to conceal
it. He added that some of the
preachers declined to vote either way,
while q few voted against it.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
THE ANNUAL MEETING HELD
LAST WEEK.

FOrmer Officers Unanimously Re-
elected-Interesting Sketches.
Membership About Seventy.
Doing Valuable Work.
Despite Friday nights fearful down
pour OF rain, Salem's Historical Society
, held their regular annual meeting,
elected officers for the ensuing year
and rendered the pre-arranged pro-
gramme which proved quite interest
ing. Indeed THE SENTINEL is assur-
ed that the large number OF members
who allowed the rain to prevent their
attendance would have been far more
than repaid for their dIsagreeable
encounter with the weather had they
ventured out and swelled the Society
attendance.
The Society's enrolment is now
about 20; but the attendance last
night was 13. However the members
are not disturbed on account of what
superstitious people would pronounce
the harbinger OF i'll in the "unlucky"
number of attendants.
or course the principal object OF the
meeting last night was the election Of
officers for the ensuing year; but there
was also an interesting program, the
principal features of which were three
historical sketches. The first was by
Mr.. j. I. Lineback and his theme was
the "Salem Boys School" Rev. j. III.
Clewell told in charming sentences
the history OF the old conch shell,
which is among Salem's most highly
priced relics.
The third and last paper was by w.
). Pfohl and he told Of "Salem's Ear
ly Fire Regulations"
The old officers OF the Society were
all reelected. They are as follows:
Presidential f Shaffner.
1st Vice President-Bishop Rond-
thaler.
I'd Vice President-Dr Fl t Banson.
Sd /" Rev e Hall.
4th Vice President-J Il Lineback.
9Th Vice Presidential E a Leh-
man.
9th Vice President Miss Gertrude
E Siewers.
Corresponding Secretary-Miss Ade-
laide L Fries.
Recording Secretary-Mr r ] Pfohl
Librarian-Mr w S Pfohl.
Treasurer-Mr I'll A Pfuhl.
Executive Committee-Rev J III
Clewell, Miss M e Vogler, Mrs ii A
Holland, Mrs l. Q Shatfner and Mr. G
e Crist.
The society is constantly adding
valuable members to their already
large membership and the work they
are accomplishing is already proving
OF almost inestimatable value to the
city and section.

Thinks 1t is Against Drummond

Mr.. Briggs, the inventor OF the
Briggs cigarette machine, was asked
last Friday about the reported in
Irlngement suit against his machine
by Underwood s. Mcneil, or Fayette
vile. Mr.. Briggs replied that he
thought the fight was against a ma
chine being used by the Drummond
Tobacco Company and not his inven-
tion. He has no fears about his pat
ent being interfered with as his ma
chine Is not like any other yet in
vented.
LATER-Since writing the above it
was learned that the suit brought by
the Fayetteville inventors is against
the Drummond Tobacco Co., which
used some OF the Fayetteville ma
chimes until Mr.. Briggs machine was
invented and put on the market. 1t
appears that the plaintiffs are trying
to make the St. Louis firm buy their
machines
