Gatfaey, December 2.-Tonight
| will be long remembered by the
| Methodists Of South Carolina. 1t was
expected that there would be many
changes in the conference, but The
Bishop handed out number Of sur
: prises. Before reading the appoint-
ments the bishop made a talk, set
ting forth his reason for making
changes. He said that no one was
reduced because Of mefficiency, but
because he believed in rotation of
the ministers both as to place and
\ office. He thought it right that pre-
siding elders should go back into the
pastoratc and make some new ser
s mons and stay with their families.
p The bishop said he had had all the
