we have departed from the teachings of
our fathers In this instance, II was from
the necessity of preserving our civiliza-
ton. But as we have found, ID Is Just
one step from defrauding the negro to
defrauding the white man, and we know
that as long as matters remain as they
are now we never can have, as we wish
to have, two respectable parties in these
southern states"
Line of the Discussion.
The promoters of the conference have
made abe following statement
I'VE wish to create a perfectly free
phase of Southern opinion. We shall not
expect the speakers in this conference 10
agree, for we are not agreed ourselves,
on the various questions 10 be presented.
We believe, however, In discussion.
Through the conflict of opinions and the
courteous expression Of honest differences
we believe that we shall adj
vance the education Of the pub
lie mind North and South. If
most of the debates revolve about
the negro, It Is not because we are solely
bent upon his welfare Our interest Is
primarily enlisted for the people of the
South as a whole. We are concerned in
the broadcast sense for the prosperity and
happiness of our Southern country. We
shall not forget the neglected element Of
our white population, In our general sit
uation, however, the negro is an amportant
factor industrally as well as In other
ways, and we feel that the difficulties Of
the situation cannot be dissipated by pol
icy of silence"

cousrRY's CROP CONDITIONS.
Northern and Western Sections In
Need of Rain,

Washington, May S.-The agricultural
department weekly crop bulletin issued to-
day. shows the. following summary OF
crop conditions:
Rain is now very generally needed north
Of the Missouri and Ohio rivers the lack
of moisture being most seriously felt in
Michigan and portions of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, and North Dakota, while a large
part of Texas continues to suffer from
the effects of the excessive rains of the
two preceding weeks. Phenomenally
heavy rains occurred in California, being
on the whole greatly beneficial. In the
lake region, Ohio valley, the Middle At
lantic states and New England, where fire.
quent frosts were more or less destruc-
tive.
The cool dry weather has retarded corn
planting in the states of the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys and lake region, but
very favorable progress has been made
in the Middle Atlantic and Missouri valley
states, except Iowa and Nebraska. In
the Southern States the reports concern
ing corn are generally favorable, except
in Florida and portions of Texas.
Owing to the low temperatures and lack
or rain, winter wheat has made slow pro-
gress in the states of the Ohio valley,
and complaints of serious injury by fly in
Tennessee and rust in South Carolina
and Georgia are reported. In the Middle
Atlantic States and generally to the west
of the Mississippi, the crop has made
good progress.
Some slight damage to spring wheat by
heavy frost and high wind is reported
from North Dakota but generally
throughout the spring wheat region the
crop is doing well.
The previously reported favorable out
look for oats continues unimpaired, eX-
cept slight deteriora ton in portions of the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys, where
growth has been checked by cool dry
weather.
Cool nights have been unfavorable 10
cotton over the northern portions of the
eastern half of the cotton belt, and the
heavy rains of the previous weeks in
Florida and Texas have necessitated ex-
tensive replanting. Generally however,
the crop has done we'll Good stands
are reported, except in the flooded por-
tons of Florida and Texas; In the last
named state, planting has been vigor-
ously pushed where practical, and is well
advanced in the northern portion, but is
much behind in the middle and southern
portions, where in places the third plant
ing has been rendered necessary by flood.
Tobacco plants continue plentiful and
are large enough for transplanting in
Virginia and Tennessee. The bulk of the
crop has been planted in South Carolina.
Fruit reports generally are encouraging.

METHoOlsTs' ORGANIC LAW.
COMMITTEES REPORT is NOW UN-
DER DISCUSSION.

1t Is the Most Important Feature
That VIII Come Before the Com
fercnce-Not Likely That Any vital
Changes VIII he Made In the Con-
stitutiOn-Tenets of John wesley
VIII Probably he Retained.
Chicago, May S-The matter Of import
ance before the General Conference to-
day was the report of the Committee on
Organic Law of the Church. This commit
tee was appointed BY the General Con-
ference In 1886, and was made up of two
bishops. six ministers and three laymen'
among whom were the leading constitu-
tional authorities in the church. 1t has
had several protracted sessions, in which
every question bearing on the subject was
submitted to the most careful scrutiny.
The real work of the committee was to
decide on what is the organic law of the
church--or. in other words, what is the
constitution. It seems strange that great
church could have permitted almost csn-
fury to pass without deciding SO vital a
question. But it should be remembered
that the Methodist Episcopal Church was
organized under the direct authority of
John Wesley. who gave 1t its doctrines
and rules. To these have been. added from
time to time such legislation as seemed TO
be needed to interpret and carry out their
spirit.
The constitution has been a growing one,
whose limits have never been clearly de-
fined.
The movement for determining precisely
what these limits are began in 1885, 1t Will
probably close with the adoption of the
present committees report, modified if 1T
ALL by few verbal changes. The report
names as the organic law of the church
the articles of religion, the general rules
as they appeared in the discipline of 1903
and all that legislation which appears I'M
der the head of The General Conference"
1t is the opinion of lBfshop Merrill, the
oldest constitutional authority in the
church, that this report is the most inn
portart matter which will come before the
General Conference at this session.
Only the first paragraphs of the report
were considered by the conference to-day.
One of these served to show the sentiment
relative to lay representation in the annual
conference. 1t is clear that this will be
resisted by the ministry.

AUSTRIAN EsAIPERORS VISIT.
Comments Made Upon IL and other
German News.


Berlin, May s.-With characteristic
slcwness the German press only now be-
gins to comment upon the visit of Emperor
Francis Joseph and upon its significant as
poets more general than those of mere con-
CALCULATIONS. The papers express the con-
viction that the presence of the Austro-
Hungarian ruler was not without serious
political import and that In any event II
signifies an immense strengthening, of the
triple alliance.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says:
THE visit will show the world that the
Austrian Emperor has turned decisively
from the Slavophile policy pursued for
some time. The Baden-Thun regime IL
done with forever. We're 1t not so, this
visit would have been impossible The
Austrian Emperor has been confirmed in
his attitude by Emperor William"
No paper, however, attempts to explain
the absence of the Austrian heir apparent.
An Austrian diplomat, who was question
ed on the subject said the absence was
due simply TO the fact that the Austrian
Emperor strongly dislikes the heir appar-
ent.
Almost all the German ships have left
Kiel harbor for sea maneuvers. Those Of
the first division have gone TO the Shetland
Islands and the coast Of Norway
Two more expert American diamond
thieves named Morton and Harris, have
been arrested at Liepsic. Diamonds worth
II 900 marks were found among their bag
gage
A number OF large forest fires. promoted
by the dry heat. have destroyed property
TO the value of 100000 marks near AK la
Chapelle.
In Berlin the heat is terrific and the EN-
peror and Empress, to escape II have gone
to Urville, where they found heavy rain

GEORGIA CROP CONDITIONS
Hail Storm Played Havoc with the
Fruit in Some Counties.

Atlanta May S.-The weekly crop bulle-
tin of the Weather Bureau issued to-day,
gives the following summary of conditions
in Georgia.
1.-The chief feature of the weather during
the past week was the hailstorm which &C.
Cured in portions of Gwinnett Douglas
and adjoining counties on the I'd inst.
The damage to crops is very considerable,
reports stating that all the fruit was beat
en- from the trees and the latetr stripped
of foliage, and growing crops were COM
pletely cut down along the track of the
storm.
'fAs a rule the weather of the week was
favorable for farming interests except in
some of the Southern counties where there
is complaints of too much rain. In num-
Der of the northern counties cotton is about
all planted. In the middle section the
crop is nearly all planted, and chopping is
general The rust seems to be striking
wheat in about all sections of the state
The fruit outlook continues unchanged;
that is, highly promising"
