Wolling also criticised the church
because of it's lack of bishops who
could go to the mission fields and
remain long enough for them to be-
come acquainted with the language
and customs of the people. Prea-
dent Roper proposed that the League
should unite with the church and
have DR.. Wolling sent as the first
bishop to Brazil.
There were other features of the
conference, which were conducted
by such we'll known South Carolina
ministers as DR.. E. O. Watson, pre-
siding elder of the Marion district:
DR.. J. L. Stokes, a former pastor Of
this charge; Rev. M. B. Kelley, Rev..
Walter |. Herbert, of Charleston,
and Rev. H. B. Browne, formerly
presiding elder of the Orangeburg
district. DIR. Watson, who made
the initial address of the conference,
set the standard of the addresses and
lectures upon a very high plane; his
lucid narration of the legends of the.
Holy Grail, and his practical appli-
cation to the league work, were en-
tertaining and helpful.
The social side of the conferences;
was not neglected, altho it was sec
ondary to the primary object of the
meeting. Tuesday evening the Car
Isle Fitting School chapel was con-
verted into a place Of festivities and
enjoyment. The entire league con-
tingent was assembled in informal
reception at the invitation OF the
local chapter. The event was cer-
tainly enjoyed by the people of Bam-
berg, and it is very safe to say that
it was enjoyed by the visitors. Dur.
ing the evening refreshments were
served. 50
The next conference goes to Oar
lington. There were invitations from:
Mullins, Greenwood, and NeWberFy:
The following officers were elected
to serve during the ensuing year;

Suit Against Railroad.

The jury returned verdict Of $25
IN favor of the plaintiff in the case
Of C. M. Smith VS.. the Southern rail-
way, which came up in Magistrate
Kirby's court yesterday. Smith, a
young white man, a mill operative
1t Pacolet sued the Southern for $99
damages for ejecting him from a
passenger train about four miles
above Spartanburg on the 18th of
March last. According to testimony,
Smith bought a ticket at White
Stone for Asheville, paying $2.45 for
the same. The conductor took the
ticket soon after leaving White
Stone, giving no conductors check
IN return. Smith rode on through
Spartanburg. When four miles be-
yond the city the conductor again
called on him for transportation.
Smith told the conductor he had
given him his ticket. The conductor
replied that the ticket was only to
Spartanburg, and that he would
have to pay $2.40 more to get to
Asheyille. This Smith refused to
do, as he did not have any money,
having borrowed his fare in Pacolet
from. friend in order to go to his
sick mother, who was at the point of
death. The conductor stopped the
train and put Smith off. He walked
to Spartanburg and took the trolley
ear for Glendale. From Glendale he
walked to White Stone. He told the
agent he had been put off above
Spartanburg. Referring back to the
stub the agent verified his statement
that he had purchased a ticket to Ashe
vile. Smith then went to MIR. Phifer
and made suit against the Southern
for S99. .-Spartanburg Herald.

PREACHER USES FISTS.
Thrashes Cowboys who Seek to Make
Him Drink.

HAYES, S. D., April Rev. John
McVey, missionary, who is working
among the settlers in the Bad River
country, soundly whipped two burly
cowboys, George Carney aid Fred
Temple, because they tried to compel
him to take drink of whiskey. The
minister is a college man from the
East, and used to be a football play
er, boxer, and all-round athlete.
He was on his way to a ranch to
hold a religious meeting, when the
two cowboys, who had sworn to pre-
vent the meeting, waylaid him, hand
ed him bottle, and told him to drink.
He declined, whereupon they sought
to force the liquor down his throat.
In five minutes, with his bare fists,
McVey had knocked out both men
and took from one of them a revolv-
er, which he had drawn in the scrap.
Carney got up and shook hands
with the missionary. Temple was
ugly and threatened to shoot McVey
on sight. Carney, however, made
his partner apologize to the mission
ary, shake hands with him, and prom
ise to ''treat him right" in the future.
Then the three men mounted their
cayuses and rode on together to the
ranch where the meeting was to be
held.
At the meeting Temple got up and
told how McVey had knocked out
Carney and himself.

furthermore said that 8 years ago he was

pany and a member of the firm of J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co.. and Charles
s. Fairchild, President of the New

and Secretary of the Treasury under
President Cleveland, were indicted
for forgery in the third degree, al
legged to have been committed as Off
GERS of the New York Life Insurance
Company. There are six indictments
against each of the defendants.
The indictments are the result OF
the Grand Jury's Investigations of

stock transactions made after the
Prussian Government had refused to
permit the New York Life to do bust
ness in Germany as long as that COM
pany carried railroad and Industrial

was for the purpose of getting
around that objection that the New
York Life, through Mr.. Perkins, had
