No Notes on conference at Lexington.


Conference Wednesday morning
began with a mastery address by
Bishop A. Coke Smith, of Virginia.
presiding officer.
His text was: 81 beseech you,
therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God. that ye present your bod
les living sacrifice, holy, accepta
BILE INTO God, which is your rea-
sonshle service
Next was the election of secre-
tary, Rev. w. <. Arnold. The roll
call showed 145 ministers present,
AZ lay delegates and large num-
Der of visitors.
One of the most important ques-
tions that came before the confer
ence yesterday was concerning
Rev. julius Z. Wright.
Rev. Wright was transferred to
the Indian Nation Mission confer
ence by Bishop Hendricks last year
and he presented a written state
ment asking for a ruling in the
conference upon his status. After
much discussion Bishop Smith
ruled that his membership was with
the Indian Nation Mission Confer
ence and not here. Rev. Wright
was member of this conference
for thirty years.
The Conference decided that he
would first have to become a mem.
Der of the Indian Mission, and re-
ceive credentials from the Confer
ence transferring him back to the
Kentucky Conference. Eir. wright
was much disappointed over the
action of the Conference.
Reports made by the presiding
elders show four new districts, an
increase of ten new churches, and
number of charges showing that
the missionary assessments had
been paid in full this year. Here
tofore only so to rs per cent. have
been paid and the fact that they
have been in full this year is a
splendid showing.
Another important feature was
the application of Rev. Simmons,
Newport, and Rev. +. f. Dawson,
of Winchester, to become members
of this conference. Both of these
ministers are members of the
Christian Church, but desire to
Join the Methodist, Rev. Simmons
was once before a Methodist min
lister and went to the Christian
Church, while Rev. f. E. Dawson
has always been in the Christian
ministry We do not know Rev.
Simmons, but we do know Rev.
Dawson, reared in Bath county,
married in Morgan.
Rey, c. F. Oney will apply for
re admission into the conference
after being out of the state for
about a year.
DR.. Baker, of Philadelphia, the
national secretary of the anti-sa-
loon league, addressed the confer
ence on Temperance" on Thurs

IMPERIALISM.
Joseph Pulitzer Points Out a
Danger that MenaCes the
Republic.

What is Imperialism 1t is not
mere external show, thrones, or
crowns, or sceptres. 1t is the
spirit OF coercion, OF conquest, of
arbitrary power. of force, of war, of
national aggrandizement, of mill
tary self-seeking, of lingo exploita-
tion abroad among weaker peoples,
ruled with no regard for equal
right, in colonies and remote de-
ffndencies.
To see Imperialism full blown
one must go to England. At home
English institutions are free. The
Cabinet is committee of Parlia-
ment. The King has not thous-
andth part of your power and pat
ronage. He could not jump doc
tor, even very skilful and agree
able one--not even Treves, who
saved his life-lnto a major-gen-
eralship, or even lieutenancy.
He cannot appoint fourth class
postmaster. He has none of the
enormous powers over corporations
which enable You, first. to make
an inuuisition into the secrets of
every combination of capital sec
ond, to smash one such combination
as an example, and. third, to send
that grand inquisitor Cortelyou,
who was your own private secre-
tary and later Cabinet member for
c0&inerce and corporations, armed
win all his deadly secrets, to pass
the contribution box among the
others.
The members of your Cabinet are
your clerks, not your masters. You
Yourself are the actual head of the
Government, the actual comman-
der. in-chief of the army and navy,
the Trainer OF policies, the dispenser
of patronage and the arbiter of
peace or war. You appoint or con-
troll, directly or indirectly, 200, 900
office holders, most of whom hold
their places at your pleasure. You
name the judges who interpret the
very law you treat with contempt
or ttagrantly violate. You dictate
to Hongress what measures it shall
s and what it shall kill. You
would be a very great potentate,
even if you observed the constitu-
tional limitations of your office.
Probably you exercise more actual,
personal power than any monarch
on the globe.
The King of England, by COM
parison, is merely fashion plate.

Early in their lives all of the boys
contracted taste for the penny
dreadful novels that make heroes
of hiehwaymen and paint crime in
attractive colors. These boys de-
cided to emulate their dime novel
heroes, and the result was the
death of three men, the wounding
of others, aud finally the arrest
and conviction of the youthful
criminals. The lesson should not
be lost upon parents. The litera-
ture that the boys read should be

8 BALES PER ACRE
A South Carolina Van Tells How
10 Grow Six Bales of Cotton
10 the Acre.

L. A. Stoney of Allendale, s. G.,
writing to an agricultural paper
claims that any land can be made
to grow six bales of cotton per
acre. A communication from him
in support of his claim is repro
dueed below.
When soil is not wet break
thoroughly II to Is inches deep
following double plow with sub
soiler. Harrow repeatedly when
soil IS dry, thereby conserving
moisture and finely dividing all
particles. Lay off in feet rows,
applying 400 pounds per acre of
complete fertilizer. Leave cot
ton , feet apart on bed, one stalk
in hill. Cultivate shallow and
rapidly, distributing in the middle
of the row, when cotton is about /
foot high, 400 pounds more of a
very soluble, properly balanced
fertilizer. Repeat this at intervals
of about three weeks until total
of 300 pounds per acre has been
applied. 1t is not necessary to
open a furrow in middle for these
applications, the better plan being
to distribute on top Of the ground.
In order to economic in plant
food, one should be governed by
the previous condition of the soil
some soils requiring an abundance
of one particular element of plant
nutrition, while an adjoining area
might contain an excess of that
identical element. | shall take
pleasure in answering any inquiry
on this line. Let me know char
acter of soil, what crop it has last
grown-if in cotton, whether we'll
fruited, or tending to run to weed,
and the yield per acre; also wheth-
er inclined to rust.
with this Interpolation | shall
advise what ingredients are neces-
sary for the proper compromising
of suitable fertilizer, giving in
detail the method for thorough
mixing; also analysis of ingredients
and that of resulting compound.
Don't forget in attempting to
make four to six bales per acre
that an essential to heavy produc-
ton in any soil is an abundance of
vegetable matter, the cheapest
source being the pea vine, which
serves the double purpose of a
loosener and an enricher, in run
ming high in nitrogen, the most
costly constituent of fertilizer"

Wealth of Arkansas.

The annual output of cotton and

high for its sources of wealth.

as to what his future course shall

argument to show that the golden

idly decreasing year by year. Till

glass in order to discern that at

ligently, can we stand idly by and
grope our way through life, and

derful than any one who has never
given the matter much thought
and consideration would suspect.
As we have already stated, there
is enough water flowing all the
time down the beautiful White riV-
er, which is only four miles away,
to turn all the spindles of New
England. But a short distance to-
the East of US (only four niles
flows another mighty river the big
Black, supplying water sufficient
to turn all the spindles of the
North and East combined. We
are most favorably located in the
junction of these two rivers, only
four miles from either of them,
which gives us the advantage of
water transportation, as these two
rivers are navigable for steamers,
llle y car IOtllu.
1t is, today, an obvious truth
that land judiciously selected as an
investment is the best that is pos
sible for an individual to make.
For the past few years there has
been q great movement going on
continually, to wit: That of foreign
immigrants to our Eastern shores,
in order that they may share a por-
ton of our vast domain of undeyel-
oped, rich and favored country.
Another movement is that of
farm buyers from the crowded and
congested districts of the Northern
and Eastern States, to the rapidly
diminishing and decreasing tillabIe
lands of areas that are yet to be
taken in our Southern and West
ern States,
There is no investment that
man can make, that is so secure
and safe. and that is as certain to
yield him q future income under
all vicissitudes, and be blessing
to himself and to his posterity, as
that of an investment in good land.
While in the past there may
have been small fluctuations in
land values in the territory west
of the Mississippi river, such fuct-
uations will not, in our opinion,
occur again.
Financial depressions may come
and endure for time, but depres
sions in land values will only be
nominal, for our continued increas-
ing population is alread V getting
too great, and our available acre
age of lands suited for agriculture
is already too small for a very
great shrinkage in land values.
In short time the lands of all
the Western states, which are sub
ject to homestead, or entry, will
all be taken and utilized. In fact
even now the most desirable por-
lions of it have already been taken,
and many persons who have been
seeking homes in Oklahoma and
other Western regions are now
turning to the fertile lands of Ark
ansas as a more favorable and lu
crative field for investment.
Eastern Arkansas, and lndepen-
dence county, contains yet thou
sands of acres of fertile lands yet
available for the home seeker,
which today can be had at a nomi-
nal price, but at the present time
these lands are being rapidly TAX
en-, and the opportunity for secur-
ing cheap homes in this region will
soon be a thing of the past.

ditions, it is as much to be consid-
cred by the man who buys 10 acres
