An event of great interest and far
reaching Importance was the action of
the conference in changing the words
'1ay man. to .iay member" wherever
they occur in the organic law of the
church This admits women to the CON
ference and as a result Methodism begins
the new century on as liberal a platform
concerning women as the latter can ask.
Two measures such as the admission,
first, of the laity to equal rights and priv
ileges in the quadrennial conference. and,
second, the admission of women, are suf-
feient of themselves to rank the present
conference as an epoch-making one in the
history of the Methodist Church.

LIST of June, and If successful it is expect
ed that a similar cotton census may be
taken every year. The price of cotton is
always based upon the volume of the
crop, and from the beginning of the plant

sands of people throughout the South are
studying the subject with anxious care in
order to determine whether to sell their
crop at the ruling prices or wait for an
advance. The Agricultural Department
has thorough system that is generally
reliable. Several private agencies, news
papers, transportation companies and
commercial organizations have undertake
en- the same work, but their estimates
are always hundreds of thousands of
bales apart. There is only one means by
which the exact amount of the crop can
be obtained, and that is from the ginning
establishments. Every bale has to be gin
ned, whether it is consumed on the planta-
ton or sent to Europe, and the director of
the census proposes this year to count
every bale that goes through the ginneries
of the country.

OBJECTION IS VERY GENERAL
Business Men Oppose Proposed Note
Stamping.

Stamping.
The business men of Americas, like
others in the state, are opposed to the
provision of the new tax bill which de-
mands that promissory notes be stamp
ed by the tax receiver of the county
wherein they are held before they are
valid. The Tax Committee of the
House estimated that $4,000, 900 in
promissory notes that is not now
reached would be taxed should the bi
become q law. 1t has passed the
House and is now with the Senate.
Such a law would mean no end of
trouble for houses that have to handle
a great deal of negotiable paper. One
objection is that merchants would not
care to have their affairs known so in
timately by a tax receiver as would be
the case should he be assigned the du-
ty of stamping all notes given by
them. When merchants borrow mon
ey from the banks they do not care to
have 1t known, believing it to be q
matter of their own and the banks
concern. The result of the fight
against the bill will be awaited with
interest.
