DIVORCE UP AGAIN
Bishop A. Coke Smith
Says Marriage Vows
Hold up Civilization.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bristol, Va, Oct. 1S.-One of the
features of the second days session
of the Holston Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
now meeting at Abingdon, Va, was
an expression on the subject of mar
riage and divorce by Bishop A. Coke
Smith. of Norfolk, Va, who is pre-
siding over the conference.
Bishop Smiths remarks were
brought forth by the discovery that
during the past year member of
the conference had ofliciated at the
marriage of divorced woman. The
bishop said among other things:
IF we do not preserve the integ-
rity of the marriage relation, we sap
the foundation of civilization, and
this law of our church must be OBJ
served. / would not marry the Presi-
dent of the United States if he were
divorced on unscriptural grounds, or
if the woman was divorced on un-
scriptural grounds.

pass a law which declares that the
trusts are criminals and that they
may be punished as criminals?
To this Mr.. Pearson made no an
swer. He did not even try to answer.
1t was too deep for him and he evil
IDENTIFY feared to answer. He admitted
that these criminals are selling cheap
er to foreigners than to Americans
but he said it was necessary Tor thefn
to get rid of their surplus stock, ana
to have a bargain counter somewhere.
Mr.. Pou replied b. saying Then tor
Heavens sake let us have, that bargain
counter at home. If concessions are
to be made in prices let the American
people enjoy the benefit of such con-
cessions rather than foreigners.
Defends RoOsevelt's Negro Doings.
Mr.. Pearson positively defended the
action of President Roosevelt in din
ing with Booker Washington in about
these words: II admit that PreSl-
dent Roosevelt divided his lunch with
a negro. President Roosevelt is broad
man. he is not narrow or sectional.
therefore he was willing to dine with
Il cOlOred man."
"My God" replied Mr.. Pou. ''must
u man dine with Il negro as his social
equal i'm order to be broad? Is man
to be denounced as sectional who re-
fuses to receive IL negro into his home
as his social equal? 1 have known men
to sink very low. Mr.. Pearson. in their
efforts to- secure office. but never have
L known any man to put himself upon
such a despicable plane as YOU have
put yourself today. Ii to De broad a
man must receive the negro as his
social equal. then most of the South
ern people and their DOsterity will
remain both narrow and sectional for
ever"
This sentiment of Mr.. Pous met
with the approval of the audience,
and there was cheering from all pres
ent. White men Of the South can
have no respect for an apologist and
an advocate of dining with negroes.
The Democracy is behind Mr.. Pou.
and so is ever white man who has in
him the love of the South's adherence
to the white mans views. Mr.. Pear
son has aroused the wrong man. for
Mr.. Pou laid on with powerful blows
for the cause of morality and de-
cency and the protection of the peo-
pie from the robber trusts. his oppon-
ent being but as a pigmy in the con-
test.

Franklinton, N. c., Oct. 13.--Hon. A.

spoke here to an 2ppreciative aud
fence today. Mr.. Brooks speech was
largely on national issues and was
highly praised by those who heard
him. Our people We're sadly disap-
pointed in that he had to cut his
speech short on account of his having
to go to Goldsboro on the 2:44 train,
only having thirtY-five minutes to
speak here. His speech was forceful
and convincing and one of the best
we have heard during the campaign.
Mr.. Harrison dwelt largely on State
matters and the audience was highly
pleased with him. On account of the

Under the terms OF the agreement

amount OF this silver in Panama is
now estimated at si.5OO,000.

A DENVER DEPOT
TO BE BUILT BY MoFFAT ROAD
Track Laid on Burlington Right Of
Way-seems to Indicate an ALI
ance Between the Two Lines.

Denver. June 2O.-The News this
morning says: By a strategic coup,
quietly planned and swiftly carried out,
the Moffat road yesterday laid its own
track into the heart of the city TO Fiji
teenth and Delgany streets over a va
cant Burlington right of way, and work
on a temporary $4,000 depot will begin
this week. The track was built over a
vacant right of way owned by the Bur-
lington along Delgany from Seven
teenth to Fifteenth street running
through the Burlington yards Just
north of the Union depot yards.
The well-planned move is the final
open evidence of the alliance between
the Moffat road and the Burlington.
and its significance is said TO be tre-
nlendous as touching future railroad
interests and alignments in this state.
1t is taken to mean, beyond all
doubt, that the Burlington and Moffat
roads have entered into permanent
alliance and will join in erecting new
depot on Fifteenth street, on the old
water works property, entirely remoy-
ing their lines from connection with
the Union depot Then when the rout-
ing of the transcontinental business
over these two lines begins, the sea-to-
sea traffic over these lines will pass
through this new depot.
The plans for new dc.ot will be an
nounced early this week and work will
begin at once. When the regular
schedule of trains on the Moffat line
goes into effect next Thursday the
trains will be run from Fifteenth and
Delgany streets and the trolley ser
vice from the North Side over Fiji,
teenth street will at once be put into
more active use.
General Manager A. C. Ridgeway last
night confirmed the news that the Mof-
fat road had refused the offer of the
Union Depot Company and would come
into the heart of the city over It's own
tracks, to its own depot
I'VE built this piece of track to-day
he said at is over a vacant piece OF
ground owned as a right-of-way by the
Burlington road and extends along Del.
Eany street to Fifteenth street II Is
all Burlington property. We have II
completed. Plans will be announced
later in the week for new depot
We will have an excellent ear service
to the city, having all the Fifteenth
street service from the North Side. We
will come in over the Burlington tracks
from Utah Junction"
