 Rev. T. Y. Abernathy moved that the
  F. Dennis. This opened up one of the most interesting incidents of the Con- ference. Mir. Dennis was dropped from the Conference fifteen years ago, while serving a small charge in Choctaw County. He went to Georgia, where he has been teaching school.
 He evidently has lived a correct life, for some splendid recommendations were brought int for him.
 Rev MT. Morris, Presiding Elder of the Georgia District, presented tho recommendations. He also spoke of the useful life MT. Dennis had been leading. He made an eloquent plea for the deposed minister and cited let ters from other Presiding Elders, who said they would be willing to give h i'm charge. in view of the fifteen years of penitence and usefulness.
 But the point was made that Mfr. Dennis would first have to be licensed as local preached by the Quarterly Conference, where he lives. before the Conference could restore the creden- tials. which he was seeking.
 The Preachers Aid Society of the Conference held a brief meeting. The only business transacted was the cleo tion of the old officers. Rev. B. c Glenn is President of the society.

Finapce. handed in communication from the Church Board, which has in charge the fund being raised for su- psrannuated ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Nashville. The communication requested the as- sistance of the Alabama Conference in increasing this fund. It was ravoi ably acted upon by the Board of Fi- nance. with the suggestion that each member Of the Conierehce take up a collection in his church for this fund. But Secretary Mason wanted the Conference to go further than this. He offered a substitute for the To- port. The substitute provided that the Conference assessment should be as- sessed 10 per cent and the extra amount should go to the fund for the superannuates. This made the collect ion necessary rather than voluntary. B. M., Washburn and D. c. Turnip- seed, prominent laymen of the church. spoke on this question. Mir. Wash burn opposed the assessment, saying that the preachers of the church had all the collections they could take care of
 Rev. I. F. Bilbro took an opposite view. It was the only way in which the money could be collected.
 Bishop Hoss took occasion to say a word for the fund. The Alabama Con ference should surely take an interest in the fund for the movement for it was inaugurated by an Alabama law. man who made the first contribution tn it. He had attended the Wesleyan Con. ference in England and was astonfshed at the way they were paid. They fared quite as we'll as the ministers of the Established Church, with all it's riches Ministers, when they were superannu> ated were retired at half pay. South ern Methodists had not done their full duty to their worn-out minister's He hoped to see that fund reach a million dollars in the next few years.
 The substitute of pr. Mason was adopted.
 The report of the Board of Domestic Missions was submitted by Rev. J. T. Mangufn. It represented a successful and fruitful year.

He was especially pleas ed at the action of the State Legisla- ture in establishing high schools, as 1t would go a long ways towards remoy- ing the evil of unprepared students coming to college and insisting on re- maining because they would be able to get preparation at home.
 pr. Lamar spoke for the Conference college.
 Our Tuskegee college does not need any words here he said. we don't have to plead for students for it. As long us John Massey lives that college will have as many students as 1t can attend to- The question Is not getting new students, but providing room for those who want to come"
 Rev. J. M. Dannelly went forward to speak for the Woman's College move ment. He told of the Flowers gift, of the success that had attended the work of the Commission, of the general interest that was felt In the move ment.

 Bishop Hoss earnestly commended the movement.
 Your commission has done well. It has done excellent" he said You Methodists are surely not going to let all this money slip away from you by failing to do your part"
 Then the spontaneous collection was started and the college movement was given it's great impetus.

GOOD CLEAN RACES.
Norman J. Coleman Says Patronage
 Would Be Better Then.


 Chicago, Dec 6.-"Encourage good, clean horse 4acing and cut out all vul- gar shows and you will have better attendance all around" said Norman J. Coleman, former Lieutenant Governor of Missouri, at the convention of the American Fairs and Propositions here last night.
 God made man that he wants to see contests" Mr. Coleman continued. "He will stop Tn the street to witness a dog fight and will watch two boys battle. Ministers of the gospel and others of high moral tone will witness a horse race that is purely contest for speed for purse, where there is no pool sell ing or other forms of gambling.
 Nothing will draw so well as good legitimate harness racing. The fair is a great educational institution and no body's education is complete with hout 1t. At college he merely gets a diplo- ma. At the fair, he is educated horti- culturally, agriculturally and mineral ly. Let the boy study these things in the morning and then for the afternoon dress out give him some good, clean horse racing"

 New York, Dec. 6.--The announce ment that Mathew F.. Halpin of the New York Athletic Club has been se- lected as manager for the American team at the Olympic games in London next year has caused considerable comment among athletes.

The executive committee of the Amer tcan Association immediately nominat- ed Mir Halpin, and stated that any ath- lete refusing to enter a game under Mr. Halpin's management, can stay at home.
