AS we have just closed a Presiding
Elder quadrennium Rev. j.. b. VIII
son's-it may be interesting to some
OF your readers to have before them
concrete statement of what has
been accomplished during four years.
The district parsonage was relieved
OF debt of over ses On hundred dol
lars and Brother Wilson left a small
surplus in the district treasury. Our
membership has increased ten per
cent, while that of the Conference
only shows ask per cent. gain. In
matter of gain in membership Cokes-
bury leads, Greenville being aclose
second, these two districts having
furnished forty-two per cent. of the
net gain during the past four yeas.
Comparing the last year of the proceed
ing four 1898 with 1902, which
closed Rev. J. b. Wilson's term we
find that the aPiedmont Brigade
have not toiled in vain. Salaries
have advanced fourteen per cent,
contributions to missions fifty-eight
percent, payments on all Conference
assessments fifty-four per cent.
The last Session of Conference
made only few changes in the
Greenyille District. The new men
are Reys. 9. b. Smith, at Buncomb
Street, Greenyille; t. b. Reynolds,
Pelzer; N. Z. Prince, Townville, and
g. t. Harmon, Jr., West Greenville.
the last, however, are Greenyille Dis.
trict men. Rev. G. B. Smith is no
stranger, having been thes no1sula,
pastor of st. Johns, AID, ss>.
four years, in the early #e
have but one stranget l' Il pas-
tor of Pelzer. Our nov iesiding
Elder is on familiar gfound and
among old friends. He practiced law
in this judicial Circuit for seventeen
years beforssAi the Conference,
and was eas of the leading law
,yers OF th 6tion; He begins his
administratl5n under most favorable
circnmsfspees. l The outgoing Pre-.
siding Elder, Rev. J. b. Wilson,
made good use of his four year term
and left the affairs of the ePiedmont"
DISTRICT in excellent condition.
So far as i know, with one excep-
ton, the pastors are pleased with
their charges and the people are
pleased with their pastors, SO we con-
fidently hope for successful year.

vocate.

ms sssIslIsn

gohn ID. Frost viii 90 to
ngton this afternoon TO take
spp the military appropriation that is
ayallable for this State, and get the
South Carolina troops thoroughly
equipped and ready for an encamp-
ment. ~
Gen. Frost has high hopes of what
the militia will be able to do, and is
very much delighted with the sub
stantial encouragement that is now
offered the State militia through the
Dick bill, which has just been en-
acted into law. Gen. Frost has a
number of applications for equip
ment, but he does not want to dis
tribute any of the old style equip
ment, as he hopes soon to have the
new.
Some years ago the government
gave this State $4,000, which was
available for equipment. Until last
year the amount was increased to
$4,000, all of which also has to be
used for equipment. Under the
Dick bill this State will get $4,000,
which will be available for equip
ment and for general camp. One
reason Gen. Frost has for getting the
new equipment is that under the
terms of the Act the government will
not pay for military encampment
until the militia els organized and
equipped according to army regula-
tions." This means that the militia
will first have to be equipped with
krag-Jorgensen rifles and will have
to get the new dirt colored uniforms
to take the place of the, blue.
Under the provisions of the bill
this State can swap its present rifles
for the Krag- Jorgensen. Gen. Frost
has 1890 Springfield rifles in the
hands of the State militia and ac-
counted for, which can be exchanged
1or the new pattern of rifles. This
exchange can be made upon an even
basis and the swap will involve no
charge to the allowance of this State,
as Gen. Frost now understands the
law.
Gen. Frost does not know whether
he can accomplish similar exchange
of the uniforms, but if not he will
obtain supply of service uniforms,
which are to be charged at $3.50
each. Gen. Frost hopes to have the
militia equipped, so that the men can
go into summer encampment, and
if they do, all expenses, under army
regulations, will be paid out of the
$500 allowance for this State.
There are now 3,3O8 men in the
militia service of the State, and Gen.
Frost expects to see that they are
thoroughly equipped and provided
for.

New Ulm players had disbanded for
the season but as game with the
alumni had been arranged for Thanks
giving day, they determined to get into
condition week earlier than had been
intended. Accordingly Manager Fred
Hubbard accepted challenge from the
Gaylord team and the game will take
place at the fair grounds Saturday
afternoon. The visitors are said to
have strong team and will come here
to win. Although the locals have not
played since defeating the Mankato

to be able to put up good game and
will make every effort to defeat their
opponents.

COleman'S Glar1ng Error.

Tom Coleman may be a brilliant de-
tective, and he may be unjustly ac-
cused by John Loffelmacher, but he
certainly made a serious blunder when
he broke into print to answer the
charges. Tom can't drag down man
with the reputation of W. E. Young,
and his praise of Stone, Davis and
Mcmillan can't add anything to their
regulations. Mr.. Coleman should
certainly demand a grand jury inquiry
and if he declines to do that the pub
lie can either presume him guilty or
that he doesn't care for his reputation.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-11-18


In Minneapolis last week, at the
meeting of the state conference of
charities and corrections, county jails
were denounced as "schools of crime,''
it being contended that their con-
struction allowed of prisoners COM
municating and intermingling too
freely. In an address to the delegates
an authority upon work of reform
made the unqualified statement that in
the majority of jails the accidental
young offender was thrown in close
contact with hardened criminals, they
debasing his mind and training him
for alife in the underworld. They also,
he said, permit of prisoners confined
in them for short periods comparing
notes upon past and future work, and
to plan depredations upon society
when they shall have been set atliberty.
In large measure these charges are
true, but it will be source of salts
faction to the people of Brown county
to know that the new Jail being built
here will be as free from this faint as
possible. Youthful offenders, con-
victed and committed for the first time,
will be confined in isolated cells on
the second floor and there will be a
general separation of prisoners.
