WHAT THE CONFERENCE DID.
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, a
Progressive Body.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says
the Birmingham conference will be
remembered in the annals Of the Pc
riod. 1t certainly will be. for 1t dealt
with great subjects, and at all points
the Church South has been found to
be progressive and free from an iron
Gogmatism.
This was shown In the resolutions
adopted looking to a closer union be-
tween the Church South and the north
ern church. The conference refused to
take any steps looking to organic un-
ion, but II did not hesitate to endorse
all propositions that would eliminate
uncalled-for antagonisms and that
would carry out the federation already
agreed upon.
The Church South also goes on rec
ord as favoring a revision Of the doc
trinal faith of worldwide Methodism;
or, at least, taking up the question OF
revision. The conference that has just
adjourned started a movement that
may yet go on until 1t is felt I'm every
part OF the civilized world. II may
result, in other words, In a new state
ment of the common faith that would
affect and control Methodism In all
countries.
Scarcely less important was the work
done In relation to Vanderbilt univer-
sity Heretofore that great school has
asserted Independent control, and 1t
had taken steps to secure a new char
ter on independent lines. The general
conference asserted it's rights. and
hereafter, the bishops will have full
charge of the institution and the policy
and doctrines of the Church South will
be dominant within its walls. The battle
was fought I'm the committee of educa-
tion, and not on the floor Of the con-
ference, but 1t was a battle-an i'm
portant hattle-nevertheless Hereaf-
ter Vanderbilt university will be a
church institution, owned and controll-
ed by the southern church.
Action on these three matters fully
Justify the st. Louis Globe Democrat
i'm declaring the Birmingham confer
ence one of the most notable that has
been held since the split occurred in
in 1S44-Birmingham Age
Herald.

GOVERNOR Glenn of North Carolina,
has been to Wadesboro to see what
could be done in furnishing the social
ed lynchers who murdered murderer
named John V. Johnson at that place
a few days ago. There was no trouble
in getting the names of twenty five
or thirty of the murderers and the
governor had warrants issued for their
arrest The understanding was that
they were to have a preliminary eX-
animation yesterday; but how the
whole thing is coming out, whether as
a face, as in South Carolina, or as
something really serious remains to be
seen. If these men could be tried and
punished in accordance with the ver-
dict of the jury, provided the jury
could be induced to find a verdict even
upon evidence, the result would be of
great value to the cause of law and
order not only i'm North Carolina, but
in South Carolina. The tendency of
the present time to allow murderers
and thieves free license TO do as they
will with life and property seems to
make all government a farce, and we
are reaching the point where regular
and proper government really seems to
need some vindication.

MIR. ]. E. Norment, who has been
very favorably spoken of as .candi-
date for secretary of state and who
was generally believed to be in the
race with a reasonable certainty OF
winning, has changed his mind about
the matter. He has decided that he
cannot afford the trouble and expense
of the campaign for the small COM
pensation that is allowed to the incum-
bent of the office in question. 1t Is an
unfortunate fact that the salaries al
lowed to the various state officers Is
inadequate, and the time has come
when the most desirable men are una
BILE to hold these positions unless they
have private means with which to
piece out their salaries.

it was hardly sufficient for what is
called good season.

The difficulty of getting witnesses

the most serious drawback to the en-

Home Made Mail Boxes.
The postoffice appropriation bill,
which passed the senate last Tuesday
afternoon, contains a provision offered
by Senator Latimer that persons living
along rural free delivery routes may
furnish their own boxes instead of be-
ing compelled to purchase those fur
nished by the government. This
amendment was offered by Represen-
tative Sims of Tennessee in the house
but was rejected, so that Senator Lat
inner decided to introduce 1t in the SEN
ate. Mr.. Latimer had already seen
Mr. Penrose and other senators about
1t, so that when he offered 1t in the
open senate and made a brief expla-
nation of the reason, it was readily
accepted by the chairman and put In
the bill. II II Is not thrown out by
the conferees it will relieve the coun-
try people from the necessity Of pay
ing $3.50 for a Is cents box.
Death of Mr.. George Hughes.
Gaffney Ledger of this morning: A
peculiarly sad death occurred In this
county Sunday when Mr.. George
Hughes passed away at his home near
Antioch. Mr.. Hughes was young
man only about twenty-five years OF
age and leaves a wife and one child
The death is made sadder by the fact
that the union was of only fifteen
months He was a young and pros
porous farmer, and the community ir
general Is shocked by his death He
was a brother of Mr.. C. ]. Hughes
who was shot recently. The funera
services were preached at Antioch
church on Monday by Rev. ]. D
Bailey of Cowpens, former pastor OF
the church of which the young man
was a member The devoted pastor
paid loving tribute to the memory Of
his deceased member. [The deceased
was a son of the late A. j. Hughes
who died on February s, last. He
was also a brother Of Mr.. c. c
Hughes of No. Z, Yorkville and Of Mr.
]. M. Hughes of No. 2, Yorkville.l

ier of the customs offices on account
of duties. he had noticed that the
cashier wrote a memorandum on a
500 bill. The cashier was interview
ed. He had not heard of the inves-
tigation, and was much surprised.
He explained innocently enough that
he had marked the bills with the
names of the paying firms in order
that he might identify the payer in
case the bill should prove to be coun-
terfeit. The cashier was warned not
to repeat the offense.

Some sections of the county have
are still very dry.
And still there is very little doing In
politics. The farmers are too busy to
take notice, and the office seekers II
many there be, know enough not to
trouble them at this time.
Last Wednesday was the Federal
decoration day and consequently ie-
gal holiday throughout the country
The day was not observed as holiday
in the south except by the postoffce
department. The rural free delivery
carriers did not go out with their
mails.
The dry spring up to this time has
contributed greatly to the convenience
and profit Of the cotton farmers, as-
pecially those who have to employ
mostly wage labor. At one time when
cotton was just ready to be chopped
out, labor got to a premium and hoe
hands did very much as they pleased
Everybody wanted them at once and
they had lots of choice. Within the
past week however, the rush has beer
pretty well gotten over with and now
the hoe hands are hunting for work
That is the situation in the immediate
vicinity Of Yorkville.
The negro man who was convict
ed the other day Of selling liquor was
under contract to work for Mr.. G. M
Inman, and when he got into trouble
he sent for Mr.. Inman to help him out
Mr.. Inman refused. He told the negro
something like this: You have beer
running around here all this time sell
ing liquor to my hands and keeping
them so demoraliZed that several were
unable to do their work. l have warn
ed YOU several times; but it has had nc
effect. Now that you are caught, l an
glad of it, and If your fine was only IL
cents l wouldn't advance the money
Not only that you are under contract
to work for me, and If anybody else
pays YOU out I'll claim your work OF
nut YOU in Jail" When people gener-
ally begin to assume this attitude
there will be less trouble with the IT,
gers.

WE are almost inclined to agree with
Senator Tillman in the statement thai
the dispensary investigation is useless
The investigation has shown no end
of rottenness it is true; but 1t Is rot
tenness that everybody has had
knowledge of all the while and there
Is no indication that anybody is to be
prosecuted on account of 1t.

ALTHOUGH we were not aware OF the
matter before, since the recent Black
Lyon difficulty il has developed that
before his election to a place on the
state board of dispensary directors,
Major Black was the representative OF
a LIQUOR house that sold it's stuff to
the dispensary. This reminds us of one
Of the good promises that was made
i'm connection with the original estab-
lishment of the dispensary system.
No individual who had ever conduct
ed an old time bar-room was even to
be allowed to be eligible to the posi-
ton Of dispenser. 1t was not great
while before half the dispensers of the
state were eX-bar-keepers. Former
Director Boykin was promoted from
whisky drummer to member OF the
board if we are not mistaken and 1t
would be interesting to know how
many others belong to the same class,
1t would also be interesting to know
how many ex-members of the board
are now representatives of liquor
houses.

THE worst thing that has happened
to President Roosevelt since he has oc-
cupied the White House is public
knowledge of the fact that he Is guilty
of a falsehood. 1t may be that the ma
iority of men are liars. The Scriptures
have il so and II Is no doubt true, but
still mem sometimes establish reputa-
tions for absolute truth and they COM
mand universal respect among his fei-
lows. They are not popular, for there
is that in the heart of the average man
which fears the truth from whatever
source. However, there is little rea-
son to doubt that President Roosevelts
popularity arose in large measure from
an established belief that he scorned
to lie to any man. AS the public had
begun to see 1t, 1t was the presidents
chief delight to pick up some fellow
who was trying to accomplish given
purpose in an underhanded manner
and expose him thoroughly. 1t had
gotten so that men feared to whisper
to the president because they could
depend upon it that he would instant
ly repeat what they said aloud In or
der that anybody might hear. Because
of his high position this won for him
universal admiration. Men began to
say that whatever else might be said
of the president there Is no question
L. nd
a feeling of comfort and relief. When
Mr.. Roosevelt first denied that he had
made a disrespectful allusion to
Messrs. Aldrich and others, people
were inclined to believe he had been
misrepresented. But now there Is
general conviction that former Sena-
tor Chandler told the whole truth.
And as the result the president does
not occupy as high a place in the es-
timation of the country as he formerly
occupied. There is a feeling that If
he was afraid to say publicly what he
had said privately about Messrs.
Spooner, Aldrich and others, he con-
siders himself inferior to these men
and this feeling seems to be well
founded 1t would have been much
better for the president If he had stuck
to the truth. When he allowed himself
to be convicted of falsehood his power
for usefulness was very much impaired
and the principles for which he claim
ed to stand will have to look to other
champions.

ENDORSE CORRUPTION AND ALL.-lhe

THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
Senator christensen's Paper Comments
on the Situation.

The gubernatorial contest begins to
look complicated in that three dispen-
sary candidates have already announc-
ed themselves. These three men
Manning, Sloan and Blease, appear to
represent three different dispensary
propositions, but each stands staunchly
by the state institution. 1t Is sug-
gested that the dispensary forces are
so we'll drilled and so determined to
sustain the present system at all haz-
ards. that they will be able to with
draw all but one of their candidates
as the campaign closes. 1t is pointed
out that these three men will attack
the anti-dispensary forces from diff
ferent points, and appeal to different
classes, and that after they have arous-
ed their folOwings to the support Of
the G.. NJ |. the weaker can, and will,
step down and out.
This looks we'll on paper, but is not
likely to work out in practice. The

THE senate committee on interocean-
ic canals has decided that In its opin-
ion the Panama canal should be of the
sea level type and without locks; but
the understanding is that the president
is determined that the lock type shall
be adopted and the president generally
has its way.

So far five candidates have filed
their pledges for the Office of govern
or in the approaching campaign
Cole l.. Blease of Newberry; Richard
|. Manning of Sumter; John T. Sloan
of Richland: Joel f. Brunson of sum-
ter, and Martin F. Ansel of Green
VILE. They line up somewhat like this
on the issue of the state dispensary
system: Mr.. Blease for the dispensa-
ry, right or wrong. Mr.. Manning for
the dispensary as state system, re-
formed and reconstructed according to
the scheme set forth in his bill be-
fore the general assembly at the last
session. Mr.. Sloan for the dispensary'
with details of his platform yet to be
announced. Mr.. Brunson for unquali-
fled prohibition. Mr.. Ansel against
the state dispensary and for county
option between local dispensaries and
absolute prohibition. If Mr.. Feather
stone comes out the understanding Is
that his platform will be against the
state dispensary machine.

WE do not consider the dispensary
as a political proposition at all. In our
opinion there is nothing political about
it. We are unable to see in 1t any
thing but graft.

SENATOR Latimer's proposition pro-
viding that patrons of rural routes
be allowed to furnish such boxes as
they see proper is just and right. We
have never been able to figure out
any good reason for the original reg
ulatiOn to the effect that only boxes
of certain approved kinds could be
used. The only justification We could
conceive of for this idea was that the
department wanted to keep control
for various reasons. We know, how
ever that the regulation was insti-
tuted about the time certain scandals
developed in the poStotlic" depart
m"nt in connection with the furnish
ing of different kinds Of supplies.
There was reason To suspect that the
requirement as To boxes had SOm"
kind of connection with graft. But
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-06-01

there is no necessity for expensive
boxes. The government can protect
a paper box from meddlers as well
as we'll as it can protect a steel box,
so there is nothing i'm that phase OF
the situation. The government as
sumes no responsibility for loss or
damage either on account of thieves
or the weather, and it therefore has
no good reason for concern at what
ever kind of mail box the individual
might see proper to prefer. But the
amendment is not through yet. The
house will have to agree to l.. and
it may be that the influences more
directly interested in the mail boz
manufacturers are stronger there.
