EFFORT A MOST LASTING
ONE.

The State Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church convened
in this city Wednesday, October Ia,
and held its sessions in the audi
torium OF Walden University. A spe-
cial program was arranged for We'd
nesday evening, the chief feature of
which was the speech to be delivered
by Dr. NJ. c. B. Mason Mrs. Mason,
his wife, was also to deliver an ad-
dress.
Sometime before the opening of the
session the beautiful and spacious au-
ditorium was filled beyond its seating
capacity with one of those magnificent
audiences which notable occasions at
Walden usually bring out. The in
formation that Dr. Mason would be the
principal speaker Of the occasion was
all-sufficient to bring out those who
knew him and those who had heard
A few minutes before the time for
the presiding officer Rev. L. M.
Moore, called the house to order, DR..
Mason and wife, with several others,
entered and were the recipients of a
hearty demonstration of applause by
the audience.
About o'clock Rev. Mr.. Moore, pre-
siding, after explaining the nature OF
the occasion, announced the first num-
Der on the program, ''All Hail the Pow
er of Jesus Name" in which the au-
dience rising and standing took part
after which Bishop G. H. Philips Of
fered a fervent invocation for Divine
favor upon the occasion. The prayer
was followed by beautiful anthem by
the choral choir.
Rev Mr.. Moore then asked for col
lection and while several young men
were passing the collection baskets
another inspiring anthem was rem
dered by the choir, which was followed
by a rich rendition by double quar-
tet of young ladies.
It was apparent that the audience
was anxious for the time to arrive for
the addresses, as was shown by the
reception accorded the introduction OF
Mrs. Mason, who arose amidst much
applause.
Mrs. Mason, who is prominently CON
nected with the Woman's Missionary
Society, made a splendid address Her
exposition of this very important de-
partment of Christian service for the
women of the Church, was clear, con-
vincing and inspiring. She made an
earnest plea for purer homes as the
principal factor of insuring the uplift
of the rising generation to a higher
plane of moral life and character.
She said that woman was largely re
sponsible for the kind Of homes that
the future should have, and therefore
the Christian women should try to do

General Demand

OF the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

.IOLEAVE CDBlNEXT YEAR.
Secretary Taft Practically Commits
Government to Withdrawal Of
Troops in 1909.
CONDITIONS IN ISLAND EHcoURAGING
Census VIII Not Be Completed Until
April or May, This Year, and Presi-
dental Election Cannot Take Place
Until Next December-Gov. Ma
goon's Report Submitted.


Washington, Jan. 14.--As far as he
can, Secretary Taft committed the
government to promise to withdraw
completely from Cuba In the begin
ming of spring in 1909. This pledge
is contained In letter from the war
secretary to the president transmit
ting the report of Gov. Magoon for the
past year.
After directing attention to the fact
that the report from the governor
shows the conditions in Cuba to be
encouraging, Secretary Taft says:
1T was hoped by some that the cen
sus might be completed in September
last did not think so, and | am
not at all surprised to learn that the
census has not yet been completed
and probably will not be until April
or May. This will postpone the local
elections until June, the presidential
election until December and the in
stallation of the president and con-
gress and the turning over the island
until about March or April Of 1909.
This is in compliance with our prom
ise- when we assumed temporary con-
troll Of Cuba, and 1t seems to me that
we ought to allow nothing to inter-
fere with carrying out that promise.
There are important interests that
would be glad to delay our stay there
for years, both good faith and good
judgment require us to leave at the
time appointed"
The report of Gov. Magoon consti-
tutes an exhaustive history of the
American intervention in Cuba and
of the passage of the islaud under
American control.
