Sumter District Conference NJ. E. Church.

The annual session of the Sumter Dis
trict Conference of the Methodist
church convened at Pine Grove, in this
county. last Thursday, the 10th inst,
with Presiding Elder James W. kilgo
in the chair.
The opening sermon was preached
the night before by Rev. E. K. Moore.
Rev. Fairy of Sumter was elected
secretary and call of the roll showed
about forty-five members of the confer
ence present.
Presiding Elder Kilgc presides with
ease and dignity and has happy power
of despatching much business in linn
tied time and yet doing it thoroughly.
Reports were heard from all the
charges throughout the district, many
of which showed that the church is in a
most progressive and favorable condl-
ton.
The conference held morning and
afternoon sessions and there was SER
mon each morning and evening, the
preaching being done by Revs: Moore,
r. H. Jones of Sumter, J. 8. Thacker
of Oswego, DR.. W. W. Daniel, DR.. W.
r. Richardson and others.
Bishop w. W. Duncan arrived Sat
urdav morning and took charge of the
business of the conference from then
to it's close, delivering one of his char
acteriStically strong and common sense
lectures on Saturday and preaching to
an immense audience on Sunday.
Bishop Duncan is a great man IN our
church and Justly are we proud OF him,
for seldom do we find man possessing
such mastery mind and an influence
so potent for good, even among the
masses who are not allied with church
work.
During the several days session of
the conference great deal OF routine
! business was transacted.
Professor J. P. Inabnit applied for
| license to preach, which was granted
after his having passed satisfactory
examination. and he was also recon-
Imended to the Annual Conference to be
admitted into the itinerant connection.
Two charges in KerShaw and Ian
caster counties comprising the town OF
kershaw. have lately been served from
this district and added to the Rock Hill
district. while portion of Chesterfield
county. including the Court House
town, has been added to this district in
their stead.
Chesterfield Court House was selec-
ted by three votes over Camden as the
place for holding the District Confer
ence next spring or summer.
The following were elected delegates
to the Annual Conference which con-
venes at Newberry next November: j.
H. Burgess OF Jordan, J. NJ. Knight of
Sumter, J. H. Lesesne Of Manning and
! \. S. Mcleod of OSwego, with }. {.
Lanham of Summerton and 5. +. Jones
of Lyncbburg as alternates.
The manner in which the people OF
Pine Grove entertained the conference
was most hospitable, and many will re-
member this as one of the most pleas
ant conferences they have attended IN
years. The people kept open house.
and the local pastor, Rev. Whitaker, Is
in his element as a host. The hospi-
tality of this neighborhood is well
known anyhow, but on this occasion
the people seemed to try to surpass
themselves. H. L.
