The Slxty-Eighth Session
is Opened.
Continued From First Page.)

the Board of Education, Church EX-
tension, Epworth Leagues and various
other papers of like character were
presented, and after reading referred
to the appropriate committees.
The conference adjourned a little
after midday, the usual standing COM
mittees having been announced. A
committee was appointed on divorce.
Everything indicates a pleasant and
harmonious session of the conference.
Rev. DR.. l.. l.. Nash is a model host,
and all the delegates have been as
signed hospitable homes and ample
entertainment awaits all who come.
The Conference Historical Society
held brief meeting last night, Rev.
n. H. ID. Wilson presiding. The fol-
owing officers were chosen for the
ensuing conference year: President,
kew. l.. S. Massey; Vice-President,
Rev. w. w. Rose; Secretary, Rev. w.
f. Craven.
Much regret was expressed at the
absence Of Rev. A. d. Belts, who
missed his train in Raleigh and was
unable to deliver the address last
night before the Conference Historical
Society.
The society by vote requested Fa-
her Belts 10 deliver the address neAt
year at the annual meeting.
Tonight Rev. @. Fl. Detwiler, of the
Western North Carolina Conference,
preached very able and interesting
sermon.

thought his reference to him rs being
guilty of toadyism to the Charlotte
Observer was not just or friendly. In
this weeks Standard DR.. McKelway
withdraws the offensive word 'toady
ISM and, in the course of long edi-
torial. says:
What PAPER published in the
South has had so many sneers
at foreign missionaries and at foreign
missions as the Charlotte Observer?
When the editor of the Biblical Re
corder was fighting manfully for the
protection of the children in the cot
ton mills, one of The Observer pub
fishers was opposed to taking the 1t
tie ones out of the mills until We had
compulsory education AMI the other
was opposed to compulsory education,
the combination to result of course in
the indefinite pnstponement of any
remedial legislation. We do not know
it's civic record farther back than
seven years. But it opposed the first
fight we made within that period to
close the saloons in Charlotte. 1t has
ridiculed the Sunday laws that were
passed by the moral forces of this
city. 1t opposed even the closing of the
saloons at o'clock at night, sup
porting the candidates on the wide
open platform every time. 1T an
ncunced itself as in favor Of high IL
ccnse in our recent fight in Charlotte
against the saloons, and when low
license triumphed in Wilmington 1t
dared to rebuke the good women OF
that city in their prayer meetings. and
the children in their pathetic parades
who were banded against the saloons.
When the "moral forces" at which
The Charlotte Observer loves to sheer,
were fighting under the leadership OF
Chairman Bailey for temperance legis-
lation, how much aid was given him
and them by The Observer? Does he
count The Observer among the
moral forces" of the State? Does not
every one know that in every local
fight in this State for the abolition of
the saloon The Observer has been on
the wrong side? Did it not ridicule
the fight that Editor Bailey made in
his own city for the dispensary system,
and has it not tried to throw discredit
upon that system which supplanted
the saloon?"
In the course of his long article DR..
McKelway speaks a parable when he
says: "We do expect a secular paper
to be religious paper. But Christian
people hrve 2 right to protest against
irreligiOn.'

HER TRADE IN COTTON.
Annual Report of Secretary Hester o.

(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans, La, Nov. 30.-The
annual report of the Board Of Direc-
tors and Secretary Hester of the Cot
ton Exchange, was made today. Ii

The year before In futures the .arans-
actions more shan doubled the large
business of 1902-1903. with New Or
iCans holding its position i'll the front
rank of the great markets of the

in the receipts of cotton, due 70 les
sered production in territory tributary
to this market, New Orleans handled
over its wharves 22.24 per cent. IF
the cotton crop Of the United States
against 22.1S last year. Complaint is
made that the exchange is still ham,
pered by lack of telegraph facilities
to points in the cotton felt, although
remarkable results have been obtained
in the expeditions handling OF mos
sages between NV Orleans and New
York and Liverpool The annual cleo
