UP NESTS"

Some of the North Carolina Meth
odist preachers do not feel as COM
when Bishop Morrison holds
ops are presiding. When he presided
over the North Carolina Conference
some years ago he greatly surprised
the brethren by unexpectedly making
many changes and some of them We're
greatly distressed. It was alleged that
he stated he believed in real itinerary
and thought it his duty to break up
the nests meaning that he changed
appointments where ministers had re-
manned in one locality 50 long as to
feel that they We're at home
1t seems that this week at the Wes-
tern Conference the same bishop dis
turbed existing conditions and made
many unexpected changes, putting
new men as presiding elders and re-
curing itinerary of the old-fashioned
kind. The Greensboro Record says
of his action:
Bishop Morrison. who presided at
the NJ f. Conference at Salisbury.
which adjourned last night, shook the
~ "A-G = 1tGd hlo
appointments last night. Generally
some of the brethren are able to find
out what is going to be done. but in
this case they were unable to discover
anything until the die was cast-untiI
the appointments were read. Six new
presiding elders were appointed and
not an Did, experienced man was left
in the position. Some of those who
have held on for Years We're set back
a peg by being given a station. For
instance. DR.. ScroggS and DR.. Weaver.
who have been presiding elders for
some years. are given a station. DR..
Scroggs going to Hickory and DR..
Weaver to Statesville station instead
of as presiding elder of that district.
Bishop Morrison prefaced the reading
of the appointments by saying that
when a preacher had had a fat job
for some time. he SHOULD be willing to
take a streak of lean and let the nun
CRY man have a bite. or words to this
effect. OF course he was right. but
it no doubt hurt ust the same"

The readers of today's paper will
miss the usual Mr.. Dooley letter. His
publishers write that he wrote three
different articles about Thanksgiving
but neither one of them pleased him
and so he will skip a week. His
Thanksgiving philosophy was relied
upon to help to make this issue a
Thanksgiving treat. The reason Mr..
DOoley's letters are always so good is
that he viii not meet the regular de-
mand unless he is satisfied that his let
ter is as good as he can do. Most men
who contract for special service week
ly send in an installment whether it is
up to their standard or not. but Mr..
DoOley skipS a week every now and
then rather than send out what he
does not regard as worthy OF him. He
gets big pay for his letters and to
skip 2 week loses him thousands OF
dollars, but his art is above money.
1t is because of their spirit of excel
lence that Mark Twain says of him:
in great qualities of the heart and
brain 'Dooley' is gifted beyond all
propriety = = r he easily stands at the
head of the satiristS of this genera
ton" and the London Times says "a
riotous H~ibernian like Mr.. Dunno
spreads the feast with / II hands.
/ Beneath his joyous gift of 2~Etravagant
ridicuIe he is perhaps the wisest man
now writing and America should be
proud of him"
In this connection the readers of
this paper will note with regret thai
beginning with the first of January.
Mr.. Dooley Will write exclusively for
The American Magazine, which has in
a short time become a leader among
live mOnthlieS. He will each month
have one OF more articles illustrated
by the famous ~cartoonist, John T..
Cutcheon. In addition to the Doolev
letter, that magazine will have as its
contributors Ida NJ. Tarbell. Lincoln

gave a great impetus to local i'm
rprovement and development, as well
ras to the movement for irrigation,

a Sacramento paper. nr ~
Almost Immediately after the close
of the. congress a city and county
bond election was held, and bonds to
the amount Of s1,500O00 were voted
for roads, bridges and public build
fngs. The majority for the bonds was
lone of the largest in the history of
similar elections. which goes to show
that the Capital city Of California has
had a read awakening.
Sacrmento. was, until within the
past five years, regarded as one of
the least progressive Of Pacific coast
cities. Eer people were prosperous,
sin fact, the fotndations'of many great
fortunes were laid there, but owing
to the fact that the lands of the great
valley in which Sacramento is situAt-
ed were held, in great tracts and de-
voted to wheat growing, there was
little oportunity for growth of popu-
lation in the country, and consequent
ly little city growth.

But the increase can be attributed to
growing con idonce Of the Aiken coun
ty farmers in Aiken as cotton mar
ket. This con nti1cnce will be main
tanned at all costs and next year Aiken
will be better prepared than ever to
handle the business.
The increase in shipments over last
year would have been greater but for
the fact that Aiken county farmers
have entered heartily into the plans
which have been made to hold their
cotton and force the price up. There
is the bulk of the Aiken county crop
still on the farms and when the iinan
cial conditions improve and prices
get right this cotton will come in.

on the support by public opinion OF
two fundamental principles OF our
civilization, and their application, not
only to your transportation agencies,
but TO all other kinds OF business.
The first OF these is. that economic
laws are intleXible and as unchanging
As the laws OF nature. and that arbi-
trary interference with their opera
tion can only result diSastrouSly. The
second is, that the prosperity OF
community depends on the prosperity
OF its individuals, which can attain
the highest development only when
each individual enjoys the fullest op-
portunity for the exercise OF his in
duStry and his initiative. either in
dependentiy, or in combination with
others, free from limitations imp osed
by government restriction, except in

There is disposition among some
persons unversed i'm business proce

ers for not making freer advances to
farmers on their cotton. The fact
that banks, from New York to San

nation why banks, neither IN the
South nor elsewhere, have been lend

is, in effect, preventing the bank in
