NOTES FROM METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Creighton Case Delays Reading Q! Appoint.
msnts-Rev. Mark L. Carlisle Honored.

Columbia, Dec. 3.-The Methodist Con-
ference accepted the Lander College this
morning after heated debate. The vote
was very close, the proposition for the
conference to accept the institution win.
ming out by the close majority of 4 votes.
The acceptance of the college was forced
by the statement of Rev. r. A. Child.
who said that another denomination
wanted the college and had made a flat
tering offer. Mr.. Child, large stock
holder in the institution, did not want
the property to pass out of the hands of
the Methodists of the State. The friends
OF Columbia Female College opposed the
proposition, giving as their reason that
they did not want to assume another
debt when there was already debt of
$4,000 on Columbia Female College. A
debt OF $4,000 rests on Lander College,
but the conference accepted the college
with the debt. The property is worth
500 600, and the attendance this year was
1877.
The next session of the Aunnal Con-
ference will be held at Gaffney.
Rev. q. +. Clarkson (at his request)
was located.
Rev. S. A. Nettles was re- elected editor
of the Southern Christian Advocate.
Bishop Wilson left to-day for North
Carolina, where he will hold conference.
leaving Rev. M. l.. Carlisle in charge. he
will preside over the future sessions of
the conference until adjournment.
The general business of the conference
was finished this morning, but adjourn
ment cannot be had until the committee
on the Creighton SANDER case reports,
ana this is not likely to come in for seve-
raj days. In the meantime the reading
OF appointments is being withheld in
order to keep the conference together.

Editor A. M. Carpenter, of the Ander-

honor at the Heptasoph's banquet last
Thursday night. We were delighted to
make his acquaintance Friday night. We
clasped hands and "buried the hatchet. -

amicably adjusted, and we have sworn
that never again shall even so grave a
subject as cabbage snakes mar our
friendship and thereby cause the peace
and dignity of the Piedmont section to
tremble in the balances. Where once we
would have enjoyed walking, with grave
countenances and naughty tread, into
some sequestered inn and ordering pis-
tolls and coffee for two, nothing would
now give us greater pleasure than to
enter side door somewhere and drink
together glass OF two of-say, Carpen-
ter, don't blow the foam in our face.

Just at present there is good deal
OF speculation and no little worry in some
quarters in regard to the schedules on
tho Blue Ridge Railway. The Southern's
new trains on the main line between
Charlotte and Toccoa and Washington
and Atlanta, complicated by a radical
change in schedule on the Columbia and
Greenville division, leave The Blue Ridge
officials with rather knotty problem to
solve. The changes proposed are to take
effect the 10th of this month If they are
made. Much concern is folt by some.
who fear very early morning and very
late night train for Walhalla. This. how.
ever, is not thought probable by those
more familiar with the roads business
affairs. They seem to think it probable

Some Baptist Statistics.

that there are more than $4,000. Dur

~ALHALLA, Il, C. (:
NEW DEPOT FOR WALHALLA.

Now, don't drop dead, or If you did
drop when you read that headline, arise
and once more breathe freely. We do
not mean that,we have information to
the effect that we are to have a new de-
pot, but we do think it is high time the
business people of Walhalla should get
together and bring everything possible
to bear on the Blue Ridge officials in
order to induce them to give Walhalla
some recognition in the matter Of a con-
venient and respectable looking depot.
Both passenger and freight depots are
badly in need of good first-class tearing
down and rebuilding. They are made.
quate for the business of the town, in
convenient and uncomfortable. Not
only are they so, but the arrangement is
dangerous. The waiting rooms (some-
what like good-szed cigar box with a
partition slipped in the centre to separate
the races) are located on the opposite
side of the tracks from the telegraph
office and freight depot. Consequently
people coming to Walhalla or going away
are compelled to cross and reoross the
tracks to transact business, purchase
tickets, check baggage, etc. Taken as
whole, we doubt if there is another town
in South Carolina with the business,
population and Importance of Walhalla
that is given such poor accommodation
by railroad.
The officials of the road are not wholly
to blame for this. They may not even
be cognizant of the fact. Their time is
otherwise occupied, and while they real
ize, by looking over reports and figures,
that Walhalla is good thing when it
comes to figuring up the roads earnings,
yet they have not had time to think about
the miserable accommodation afforded
by the road for its patrons at this end of
the line.
We suggest that our business people
take up this matter with the Blue Ridge
officials. We feel sure that they will be
given hearing and that something will
be done when the real need is brought to
their attention in direct and business
like manner. Both President Andrews
and superintendent Anderson have not
only the best interests of the road at
heart, but the interests of the towns that
contribute to the roads business. Ger
tainly Walhalla is due more considera.
tion now and in the future than she has
had in the past
1t is up to us to make the effort. Will
we try, or shall we sit idly by and con.
tent ourselves with what we havep Ger
tainly we need not expect the officials to
tumble over thems elves trying to give us
something we do not care enough about
to ask for. Who will start tho move
ment? 1t needs but to be started prop
erly, and we believe the officials will do
the handsome thing for Walhalla by Civ
ing us depot worthy of the town and
the road

A Party Divided.

Family troubles in the Democratic
party Of Adams county are causes for
strife in the ranks, Of which we hear
one side or the other every day. The
southern and western ends of the
county feel they we're not treated
fairly in the Democratic convention
They have no candidates. Therefore
like the nature OF the animal to which
they are lending their influence, they
are forninst those who have the reins
Republican patronage OF Office was
extremely evenly divided over all por-
tions OF the county. All Republicans
heartily endorse the ticket named by
them and all Republicans will vote
the straight ticket. The south end
soreness is because of what they desig.
nate as the "Ritzville ring" a Demo.
cratic organization which is to Ritz.
vile what Tammany is to New York
City. The American people would
never stand for bossism or ring rule
and the outbreak on the part Of the
outsiders is because they have
awakened to the injustice which has
been practiced.

What We Want.

Mr.. Bryansgives President Roose
welt credit for good work done with
the big stick, but claims that he had
to swap platforms and do his swatting
from Democratic plank. The Dem
ocrats, it lie true, have declared for
good things; and the country has
waited long time for some one TO do
them, and when the man was found
he was Republican. The people
don't care whose platform he is stand
ing on now. What difference does it
make to the little fishes which whale
swallows Jonah? The Republicans
have followed Roosevelt en- masse,
and many good Democrats have
cheered him on. The fact is, though,
that all political platforms are made
only to serve during campaigns and
not for use in administrations and
Roosevelt has stood on ground of his
own choosing. Should Mr.. Bryan be
elected to succeed him and carry on
the work he has begun in the same
way, he will find many good Repub-
licans as ready to applaud him.-Ex.

All the evidence has been taken in

river. The briefs and record of the
testimony taken are now being pre-
pared to submit to the United States

have the case determined this year in
order that all controversy over owner
ship OF fishing grounds on the Colum-
bia river may be definitely determined
before the next fishing season.
Charles Dalton OF Seattle acted as the
referee in receiving the testimony and
will simply certify the records to the
United States supreme court. In SO
far as possible all the questions OF fact
were agreed by stipulation and an
arrangement made whereby the case
will be presented to the United States
supreme court without the usual delay
in matters taken to the tribunal.
