Asked Women 10 Stan Noise.

Richmond, Va, November 14.-Dis.
tinct disorder prevailed this morning
throughout the session of the Virginia
conference at the Broad Street Methodist
church. Time and again Bishop w. w.
Duncan halted impatiently and tried to
stop the talking and laughing of ladies
in the assemblage who gossiped in open
convention. Finally he announced that
on tomorrow only delegates would be
admitted. The chief Offenders were two
or three ladies who insisted upon talking
from start to finish. 1t began early in
the morning. The bishop stopped a
speaker in the middle of his talk and
asked the ladies to be quiet He spoke
in Kindness. He delighted to have ladies
present, but he could not have the pro-
ceedings of the body interrupted. Finally
when all other expedients failed Nhe an
nounced that after to-day no visitors
would be allowed. Another feature of
the proceedings was criticism from the
bishop of the religious system of the
University of Virginia. The university
has no chaplain and prominent ministers
of different denominations take turns of
holding services at the university chapel.
The bishop thought this method sun
wise and very dissipating."

About Good Roads.

Editors Keowee Courier: j wish to say
a word In behslf of tho county supervi-
sor, county commissioners and the road
nachinss. The people are kicking
about the machines, saying they are too
costly. 1t is as fair for one as another
we All pay taxes to work the roads, and
we all want good roads to travel over.
MY idea is that the road machines are
the proper thing to make them, have
travelled over good many of the roads
OF Anderson, Pickens and Greenville
counties, and wish to say that the roads
in Oconee are more like Anderson's than
either OF the above named counties, and
Anderson's are considered the best in
the State. But il you don't pay for
work you won't getit done. True we
have spent muck money on roads in
Oconee, but how are you going TO make
roads without spending money?
Our commissioners made break in
the right direction whom they bought
their present outfit, and started in to
make PERMANENT roads.
How did the present board find things
when they took charge of their offices ?
No roads or bridges, but If they could have
control another year would be satisfied.
The Incoming board, / am satisfied, will
keep up the good work now in progress.

The Pension List.

The Comptroller Generals report of the
operation of the pension department is
full of interesting information. 1t is the
first of the reports from the State officials
to be gotten out complete The total
amount paid out in pensions was 5000,
227.O9. Oconee county received SO, ,744. IS.
The total number of pensioners is 1850.
The number receiving artificial limb
fund aid was 81, the amount paid out be-
ing $1,009.26. The report has list of
transfers from one county to another,
those who have died during the year and
such like statistics, which will greatly
aid the county boards in future in getting
up correct rolls.
The increase in the number of pension
ers and the increase in the number of
applicants yearly grows and if such con-
time much longer the appropriation will
furnish pittance much smaller than
that now received unless the appropria-
tion is increased. That cannot be done
just now and THAT is why an effort will
be made during the next Legislature to
make the requirements more stringent
for accepting an application.

Whereas, the laws of our church arc

with us at the close of this ecclesiastica
year, we hereby tender him our thanks
for the faithful work and the great inte
rest he has manifested in the work OF

us; therefore, be it
Resolved 1st. That we cherish his
memory as one of our most faithful and
efficient Presiding Elders.
I'd. That we invoke the divine bene
diction upon him in all of his relations
with the church of God wherever he may
be called in the providence of God, and
trust that he may be spared many days
and see the work of tho Lord prosper il
his hands, while in this life and in the
life to come; that he may realize the
fruit of his labors while he worked here
on earth in the vineyard of his Master
by many stars being added to his crown
of life eternal.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

The Greenville News, commenting
upon the recent publication by Capt
VIM. A. Courtenay Of the booklet en-
titled after Ten Years. Justly com
mends both the author of the poem and
the gentleman who issued It between
neat covers, in the following language:
The Hon. VIM. A. .Courtenay has done
| credit to his own literary taste and
helped the South pay her debt to one of
the sweetest singers reared within her
After Ten Years, by Carl Mckinley, of
Charleston.
The publication is In the form Of a lit
/ tie pamphlet whose chaste elegance Is In
keeping with the rare quality of the
verse in every line of which is the music
Of the true poet. The printing is from
Jenson old style type and is done on
appropriate grey and on the frontispage
is simply stated that it is a. compliment
to the author.
Every South Carolinian in particular
and all those to whom the Confederacy
and its traditions belong are richer for
this tribute of Carl Mckinley to the
Lost Cause and that tattered banner
which he describes as:
"Our bIazon in the day of wrath,
Our pride in days of peace"
There is not one false note in the lines
which are strong and clear, though
enshrowded in that melancholy neces-
sary to the subject as we'll as to the heart
of tho true poet. There is wealth of
pathos in the imagery of the standard
which now
"Hath no place under Heaven
Save in our hearts and In our homes,
Where sadly day by day
The silent spiders fittingly
Are shrouding it in grey"
AS with other master spirits Carl Nc
Kinley has shown keen wit and O
wonderful sense of humor, but so far as
we know most of his published work
has been of the serious order and it ia in
this vein that he excels. His verses en-
titled Sapelo TEEN with excellent thought
couched in exquisite melody that cannot
be equaled even by the sounds of the
winds in Sidney Lanier's Marshes of
Glynh.
Mr.. Courtenay has done the South a
lasting service if the tribute he has paid
it's gifted son is the means of introduc-
ing his songs to a wider circle than had
previously felt their charm. And we
trust this enlarged acquaintance will re-
suit in volume of Carl McKinley's fugi-
tive verses which would speedily find
their way to the heart of every book

Orr Cotton Mill to be Doubled.

Tho Anderson Daily Mail says it has
decided to increase the capacity of tho
Orr cotton mill in that city, of which
Col. James L. Orr is the president. The
mill now has $4,000 spindles with capi-
tai of 100000 and 400 operatives arc
now employed. To double the capacity
of the mill means an increase to 800 oper-
atives, and the mill village to be largely
augmented in population, with double
the number of cottages to DO occupied
The work on the enlargement will begin
soon after Christmas and will be prose
cuted with energy and dispatch. Ander-
son is to be congratulated upon it's pros
perity and advancement, and there is no
reason why it should not continue to
grow and expand, as it is in one of the
richest and best counties in the state.
