M. E. SOUTH
CONFERENCE
is IN SESSION AT eAReouRs-
vlLLE-REeAN YESTERDAY
MORNING.

BARBoUR5vILLE, w. Va, Sept. Z.
The fifty-second annual session Of
the Western Virginia conference OF
the NJ. e. Church, South, convened
here Wednesday morning with Bishop
A. w. Wilson in the chair. Bishop
Wilson is the senior bishop of the
church, and lives in Baltimore, Nd,
this being his twenty.third year as
bishop. This IS his third presidency
over the conference.
He Is rated as one of the deepest
thinkers in the church, and as con.
stitutional lawyer would have reached
high mark in the profession of law.
The conference is composed of six
districts with total of four hundred
and fifty-four societies, and mem
bership of 23,24S for the conference
year ending Sept. I, 1904. The confer.
ence owns property to the amount of
$G22,445
All indications point to most pros.
porous year, Notwithstanding the fact
that there has been closeness In
money matters. The conference is do.
ing everything to keep pace with the
material growth of the State, and do
her share in maintaining her side of
the States moral standing.
The Parkersburg church, st. Paul's,
is the leading church in the confer.
ence, and always sends up full re.
port. The church has been served
for the past four years by Rev. Lellx
r. Hill, Jr., who has proven to be one
of the best all round pastors that has
been stationed here. and he is to be
congratulated upon winding up his
last year with the best report ever
sent up by his church. 1t is not We,
known who will succeed Mr.. Hill, and
1t Is to be hoped that Mr.. Hill will be
given another charge in this confer
ence, as he won the love and esteem
of his brethren and the conference
would suffer loss by his transfer.
The three greatest events in the
history Of Barboursville, the county
seat Of Cabell county, are the three
times 1t has entertained the annual
conference. The conference was or.
ganized in 1850 at 'Parkersburg by
Bishop j. o. Andrews. The third ses.
sion was held at Barboursville in 1852
when Bishop Andrews presided again.

only two of these are now in the act.

Grimes wrote him Mon 4ay that
there was no record that the Wilkes
list was passed. 1t Is an unfortunate
mistake-it is certain that the list
of magistrates passed the Legisla-
WilkesbOro Chronicle.
We guess 1t is Of very little i'm.

like having their local government

They now have their magistrates,

Raleigh. The presumption ID, the

CHEATING AS A HABIT.

CHEATING AS A HABIT.
Raleigh will to-day try for the
first time the secret ballot system in
holding the biennial municipal pri-
mary for nominating candidates for
the various city offices. The Raj
eigh correspondent of the Alamance
Cleaner, who was formerly editor
of Democratic paper in this city,
says:
"Heretofore, for several years, the
primary plan of nominating candi-
dates In this city has been debauch-
ed openly by the purchase of votes
by "ward heelers'' in the employ
of aspirants for Office, and even by
the candidates themselves directly,
on occasions. AS the primaries then
were not "legalized" the vote buy
ers went unwhipt Of punishment.
Under the new city charter the pri
mary Is now legalized one and a
violation of the law covering such
matters will be as punishable the
same as at q regular election"
This Is q frank admission TOR one
of the party to make. The Demo-
Gratis stole the State from the Flu
sionists in 1898 and 1900. But, we
are surprised (?) to know that they
have been cheating each other, and
what surprises US most of all is for
them to admit it. It seems that the
Democrats got in such a habit of
cheating the opposing parties that
they now just can't help cheating
each other.

and assist Judge Dunno to destroy
the street railroad monopo,ies in
Chicago, says Mr. Bryan He would
GO very slow, says Judge Parker,
and oppose anything that had the
slightest faint Of radicalism. Jeffer-
son, according to Mr.. Bryan, would,
if living, favor the immediate mu-

water, light, and telephone compa-
MES. Jefferson would not bulge,
declares Judge Parker, in his oppo-
sition to wild fads and Innovations
Jefferson was q free silver man, says
Bryan. Jefferson was q gold bug,
intimates Judge Parker. Jefferson
stood for "higher policies" says
Bryan. Jefferson was for the "fun-
damentals," says Judge Parker.
Bryan spoke in Chicago, where
Democrats are rejoicing over their
socialistic victory. Judge Parker
spoke in New York, where Demo
Gratis are trying to explain just why
they were defeated. Bryan is far
more elastic than Parker. He takes
up the New issue Of Government
ownership with a freshness and
hope that leaves no hint of the sore.
ness of previous defeats. Judge
Parker sticks to the idea that the
people made a mistake, and that q
thorough explanation Of the facts
would result in q reversal of the
verdict Of last November. Both OF
them draw their inspiration from
Thomas Jefferson. 1t is clear, there
fore, that Jefferson was a marvellous
man, many sided genius, whose
wisdom was ample to furnish argu-
! ments on both sides of questions
arising three-quarters Of a century
after his death.
