First DAYS Session.

Lyncnburg, Va , Nov. lO.-To dis
cuss the general situation in regsd to
the tobacco industry and to dreide II
possible on a minimum price for the
various varieties and grades, represen-
tatives of the several Tobacco Grow
els Associations of America, assemble
In Lynchburg to-day and began a
two days conference. The purposes
of the movement are set forth In the
call for the conference, which says in
part:
1T has been abundantly demon
strated that farmers can be factors in
shaping the prizes of their products.
Proofs OF this statement are found
in the wheat market of the past year
in corn, oats, cattle, hogs, cotton,
etc. prices of all these have been
permanently, or for periods, in
fiuenced by the quantity thrown on
the market. or withheld from 1T. The
same can be done with the tobacco
market. BY unity of action the grow
ers will be irresistible
The conference is attended by prom
inent growers of Kentucky. Virginia,
Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsi n
and other tobacco growing States.

VOTE OF STATE AND DISTRICT.

New York. Nov. 10.-President
Roosevelt clean sweep has broken all
records for large pluralities His
popular vote is the largest ever given
a presidential candidate. His plural
lty is estimated today to be 1850, 900,
which is more than double that re-
ceived by Mckinley in 1900, and more
than three times the Mckinley plur-
ality of $50. in 1896 McKlnley's pop
ular plurality was col, S34 and in 1906
was $40, 100. Pennsylvania plurality

Roman wall which was built around
the city hundreds of years ago is
still there and in good condition.
We walked on top of this wall for
about quarter of mile. There is
a fine Cathedral here which we Wis
tied. We also visited the spot where
Matthew Henry, the great commen-
tator, is buried, and the church in
which he preached. This house is
now owned by the Unitarians. Just
think of it. 1t is almost sacrilegious.
From Chester we went in q coach to
Eaton Hall, the home of the Duke of
estminster. This is a stately and
magnificent place, one of the finest |
have ever seen, with hundreds of
acres. This duke is one of the
richest men in England. From this
place we drove to Hawarden, the
home of Mr.. Gladstone. | was espe-
cially. glad to visit this place, just
because it was the home of such a
great man. 1t is a fine estate. We
walked through it on the beautiful
road that goes from one end to the
other. This whole drive was de-
lightful, through the beautiful coun-
try, which is all like a garden or a
park.
We left Liverpool on the day the
council adjourned, so l did not at
tend the closing exercises. l was
sorry to leave the place, because
they made us feel so much at home
there. Liverpool has had a reputa-
tion for hospitality a long time.
Here is an extract from John Wes-
ley's Journal: "July Is, 1864.
Preached at Liverpool. Have al
ways observed more courtesy and
humanity in this town than at most
seaports in England"
On July 7th we came to London
where we have been since. My next

about 600 square miles and contain

times as many as South Carolina.

There are signs of poverty among
many OF the people here and beggars
are frequently seen, though this side
of the city is not as bad as l expected
to see. 1t is likely, however, that

stricken districts of the city. There
are many agencies and institutions
established for the uplifting of the
people and l think the race is being
bettered in many ways, especially
from a worldly point Of view.
l attended church last Sunday
morning at the City Temple and
heard the minister in charge, R. j.
Campbell, preach. He gave us fine
sermon and there was very large
congregation present. / met Mr..
Campbell after the service in one of
the rooms connected with the church,
and when told him that Mrs. Byers,
(nee Miss McCarley,) of York
county, South Carolina, had written
to me and asked me to hear him and
meet him, as she was relative of
his, he told me that his mother was
in the church. So | met his mother
and his father, too. The latter is a
minister in one of the branches of
the Methodist church. Mr.. Camp
bell has attracted much attention in
the world of late on his own account
as remarkable preacher and as the
successor of DR.. Joseph Parker.
went to church at night to the Re-
gent Square Presbyterian church and
heard splendid sermon from the
pastor, DIR. Connell. The singing in
the churches over here is very fine.
AS rule, the choirs are large, and
the congregation sings. Everybody
has hymn book and great many
of them use them. The choir at the
City Temple in the morning had
about fifty people in it. The choir
that led much of the music of the
Council in Liverpool was composed
of about 200 people, and such sing
ing! 1t was grand and uplifting.
do wish we could have such singing
in our churches at home.
The people over here are very
much interested in our Presidential
election. They think the Democrats
have made wise selection in Judge
Parker as their standard bearer. 5.

very much. This is one of the homes
of the king or queen, and was Vic

twenty miles from London and in a
beautiful place, where nature and
man have done much to make the
place attractive. There are two
very interesting chapels here, St.
Georges and the Albert Memorial.
We were shown through the State
apartments of the castle. They are
beautiful, gorgeous and magnificent
The large carpet in the Waterloo
chamber is in one piece and weighs
seven tons. The jewels, pictures,
statues, ETC., in these apartments are
very interesting. From the Tower
l saw where Queen Victoria was
buried at Frogmore and saw the
beautiful lands belonging to the
castle. With these beautiful grounds
and the Thames river flowing by,
the whole premises makes deep
and pleasant impression on the mind.

ances. These can't go very fast, as
they are impeded frequently by the
many vehicles of every description
from the donkey cart to the fine two
horse carriage. There are hundreds
of hansoms everywhere on the streets,
but of course it costs more to travel
in these than in the omnibus. Each
omnibus has seats on top as we'll as
below, and can accommodate about
30 people. Then they have the
underground railways-tubes, as they
call them-which furnish a more
