 The Next Conference.
 At this point the biggest outflow of oratory of the Conference was had. The Bishop asked:
 lis the Conference ready for the forty-fifth question, where shall the next Conference be held?"
 This came as a surprise to those who were not expecting the question so early.
 In a stirring speech, Thomas E. Knight placed Greensboro in nomina- tion for that honor.
 In eloquent periods the claims of Evergreen were laid before the Con ference by Rev E. l.. Talleyss
 Troy was nominated in forceful speech by Rev. O. IS. Welch.
 The first ballot resulted in the foi- lowing vote: Greensboro. 70; Evergreen, 49; Troy, 30.
 Troy was withdrawn and the second vote was necessary.
 On this ballot Greensboro received SS votes The Bishop declared that It was not necessary to count the votes for Evergreen as Greensboro had al- ready a majority. The election was then made unanimous.

companies which advanced working capital to many concerns in this State promptly closed down their business, and refused to lend more money In Ala bama. A howl that assailed even the gates of High Heaven went up from Birmingham Prominent bankers and business men of that city were inter- viewed time and again. the burden of their talk being denunciation Of this law which they characterized as un- just. The pressure brought to bear on the legislators throughout the state re- suited in a repeating bill being pass ed at the summer session. Previous to this the Governor had made a state mentj upholding the bill. But this did not stay the opposition.
 Governor Refused to Sign.
 When the bill was passed by both Houses and sent to the Governor for his signature he laid it away with a leaf of. lavender" The bill repeating the odious fee bill was never signed. At the extraordinary session of the leefslature another bill was passed re- pealing the fee bill. It related to the repeating of two sections of the code. viz, 1321 and 1922. Thirteen-twenty- one was written on typewriter. and section thirteen-twenty-tw had been clipped from a newspaper and pasted on the bottom of the sheet In en- rolling the bill fol. the signature of the Governor the eH6flins clerk failed to copy the second section.
 The original bill, with both sections. went to the Governor with the copy. approved by the speakers In both Houses, and before he attached his signature to the partly completed bill he was aware that portion of 1t had not been properly enrolled by the enroll ing clerk. As matter of fact this was one of the last bills signed by Governor Conner. and before it was sub mitted to him for his final approval was gone over carefully by Secretary Fort, who called his attention to the fact that all of the bill had not been enrolled, and that his signature would only be attached to the first section.
 Dispute As To Effectiveness.
 There are many who believe that the repeating bill Is effective. even to the part that has not been enrolled, but which has been approved by both Houses, and to all intents and purposes signed by the Governor. Attorney General Alexander Garber said that he believes that the bill Is effective. The section which the Governor really sign ed, he said, was the meat of the repeal

ERROR BY ENROLLING CLERK

For perhaps the first time in the his- tory of Alabama the Chief Executive of the State, signed 8 portion of 6 bill passed by the legislative bodies
 A dispute has already arisen as to whether the whole enactment does not now become void. The bill is that re- lating to the taxing of foreign loan companies, which lend money in Ala. bama. This bill has been in the lime- light more or less for the last year.
 When an attorney sought certified copy of the bill few days after 1t was announced that the Governor had at tached his name to 1t. it was discovered that only half of the bill had been signed, and that the enrolling clerk of the House of Representatives had failed to enroll the second section. which fixes penalties for violations of the fee bill. and also prescribes certain requirements to be met by the com panies in the way of filing certain in- formation with the Auditor.
 When the bill was first passed it :aised howl all over the State. Loan

the Enterprise office, 81 don't like,
although l am a Republican; it
tells too many things that are not
true" Our good postmaster was
one of those present at the time,
and Benny and his assistant liars
can prove Or disproye the forego-
ing by him. l refer to him with
out his knowledge or consent. A
couple of weeks since, at the close
of the Lewis trial in st. Louis, the
st. Louis papers, (the Republic and
Post Dispatch, both, l believer an
nounced a "hung jury" standing
three for conviction and nine for
acquittal, and l so stated the re-
suit. 1t was not correct as to the
members standing for, and against
the defendant, but the error was
not mine. Il am told that the pa
pers subsequently corrected their
statements, but l overlooked them.)
What purpose could Intentional
misstatement have served in this
case? None whatever. 1t could
deceive nobody, and would set
down as an ass the editor making
it. Benny Tor, as I suspect, a GER
tain unesteemed bushwhacker in
his name) says that l wilfully
perverted the truth in this con-
nection-in fact, that that is my
habit. Let the public decide.
While on this question of ''per-
verting" facts and occurrences, |
recall an item in the Enterprise of
the 18th of November relative to
the fire at Pilot Knob a week before
that date. Benny said ''we UNDER
stand there was no insurance. on
the property destroyed. And, not
withstanding the whole valley has
been talking for a month about the
fact that on the Schmittner build
ing there was S2250 insurance
four or five times the worth of the
property destroyed-he has not
corrected his statement. At whose
suggestion or insistence is this
truth perverted and suppressed?
Who was the informant? Was
there motive behind Benny's ig-
norance or misinformation? Or
was he a willing mouthpiece to the
falsehood? An explanation is GER
tainly due from him to the public.
