a dispatch from Toxic says inforna-

extended over the period OF a year
without discovery may, 1t Is said,
cause feeling OF distrust and uneassi-
ness towards the naval administration
and furnish weapon to the polltlca

A dispatch from Laurens to The
State says Wednesday in the court OF
general sessions John Miller, a young
negro farm hand, was convicted OF
administering poison with intent to
kill and was given sentence OF ten
years in the State prison. The indict-
ment under which Miller was tried
charged Wash Carwile and Miller with
attempting to poison an entire family,
consisting Of Mr.. E. W. Ferguson,
Who resides near Clinton, his wife,
mother, and aunt and some Of the
colored servants aad hands employed
on the place, By placing in the well,
from which every one en- the premises
used water, a bsg containing a snakes
head, a frog, a lizard and quantity
of stuff said 10 have been compost

OF q poisonous character.
The fact that Mr.. Ferguson and
other members of the family became
very i'll about the same time led to an
investigation which revealed the pres.
erce OF the horrible mixture in the
drinking water. CarWile and Miller
were suspected Of the deed. Miller
was promptly arrested but Carwile eS.
csped and has not been apprehendeo
yet. Both negroes and their families
quit using the water on Sunday before
the Fergusons were made sick on Tues
day.
It was brought out in the tria.

Meet for Their Thirteenth Annual
Track and Field Contest.

New Haven. Conn, May 2O.-Harvard
and Yale athletes will meet at Yale

annual contest in track and field. Twice
in the past since the competition for
the present cup began in 1900, after
Harvard had Won the first cup series
Of nine contests. have the Cambridge
athletes been successful while Yale has
three victories to her credit For the
permanent ownership of the cup Har-
ward, therefore needs three more vic
tories and Yale two. The outcome Of
today's contest seems uncertain Just
before the game started because of the
crippled condition of Yale athletes.
1t was said this morning that neither
McLanahan, Gates, Torrey, Lowe, Por-
ter, Jack nor Behr would be able to
compete all being on the hospital list.
All the Harvard men were reported in
good condition. James Sullivan, presi-
dent of the A. A u, will be referee.
Thirteen events; the 100, go and 440
dashes, the half mile mile and two mile
runs, the 120 and 900 yard hurdles, the
hammer throw, shot put, running high
and running broad jumps, and the pole

Ministerial Delegates Wilmore thought
that the Central district had been left
off from the board OF trustees and de-
manded that a reelection be taken for
the membership Of the board. The feel
ing was accentuated by the fact that
five out of the nine members of the
board had been selected from Dayton,
Ohio. Some of the members from the
Central district apparently considered it
an attempt upon the church members,
resident in Ohio, to take all of the hon
ors and emoluments to itself.
Central district has a membership Of
some 900 or about one-sixth of the
total census of the church membership.
The board of bishops will meet and
later report to the conference upon the
and giving more equitable representa-
/ ton to the various districts Of the
church. The following trustees for the
board of education were elected this
morning: East district, H. U. Roop, C.
I. B. Brane; Ohio district, L. Bookwal-
/ ter, J. P Lands, G. A. Funlxhouser;
Central district, @. ]. Kephart; West
district, p. o. BOnebrake, W. z. Schell,
/ L. S. Cornell.
| For the board of trustees of the
church the following were selected:
East district, A r. Ayres. W. G. Clip

In the main the boards show but few
/ changes over the preceding four years,
/ though the conference stated in the be-
/ ginning that the personnel of the board
would be radically changed.

Now Evident Why Treasurer Nc
Kee Resigned.
TALK ABOUT OFFICE.
Movement to Abolish the General
Treasurer.
Decided to Have Only Book
keeper for the Place.

After a spirited fight the United
Brethren conference at noon decided
to leave the discipline Of the church
as relates to the age qualification of
church members voting for delegates
to the general conference and the
matter of conference representation
unchanged.
The committee upon church govern
ment recommended in favor of cutting
down upon the number of delegates
to the general conference and CORE
spondingly increasing the ratio Of
mem ers to be elected delegates. The
change would have meant 226 dele
gates in place of the 266 now repre-
senting the church.
General church officials not other
wise members of the general confer
ence hereafter will be considered ex-
oficio members of the general confer
ence.
Hitherto every member of the
church regardless Of age has been
permitted to cast a vote for church
delegates to the general conference
but the committee wanted a change
and believed that it was to the best
interests to establish an age Qualifica-
ton making l. years necessary before
the church member can become eligt-
Bile. The conference would not stand
for the change, however, and the dis
cipline will remain as it always has
been, every member regardless of age
being permitted to vote.
The following reports were present.

Report of committee on judiciary
