Asheville. n. c.. May 6.-The Cen

copal Church. South. has been taken

work to the transaction OF business.
but from this time on interest in the
sessions will increase from day to
day The committees are holding fire.
quent and lengthy meetings. and some
Important reports will be presented In
all probability to the conference to-
morrow. The greatest interest centres
about the reports of the committees on
sepiscopacy, appeals and ,revisals, and
when these reports are submitted it
is probable some animated discussions
will take place on the floor OF the
conference.
The fact that the bishops in their
,uuadrennial episcopal addresses recon-
mended the election of at least five
bishops at this session of the Gen
seral Conference reinforces the interest
with which the delegates are pushing
the claims of the men whom they de-
sire to see elected to this office.
Women Leaders Attend.
The leaders OF the Woman's Home
Mission Society have arrived at the
conference, and their presence adds
to the interest of the question OF the
rights of the laity for the women of
of the church. Miss Belle f. Bennett.
president Of the society, whose an
n,ial address before the meeting OF
the Woman's Board Of Home Missions
IN Savannah last fall was the founda-
ton upon which the memorial asking
for the rights of the lanty was built
is here, and she is acknowledged as
one fthe ablest. women In the
church. The petitions presented to the
General Conference show that only a
few of the annual conferences have
taken action concerning this subject,
and the opinion prevails that the re-
quest Of the women will not be grant
ed. The fact that the episcopal ad-
dress gave no encouragement to this
memorial from the women will have
it's weight In the action of the con-
ference. as it is not often that the
conference takes action that is con-
strary to the expressed will OF the Col
.lege OF Bishops.

lives We're snuffed out yesterday in
the explosion in No. 8 mine, Of the
Palos Coal and Coke Company. on
the outskirts of this little town. Hope
of finding any of the eutombed men
alive was practically abandoned this
afternoon, although there are about the
entrance tonight mothers, wives and
other relatives, who still cling to an
almost hopeless hope that their loved
ones will be brought out with a spark
of life yet remaining. The experienced
inspectors and old miners say there is
no chance. The bodies OF the seven
teen men brought to the surface to-
day and tonight We're mangled so
that their features were not recog-
nizable. Identification was possible
only by. means OF the little brass
checks Which they carried.

progress. BESIDES the rellet extended
by the officials of the mine, the Red
Cross is supplying the necessaries of
life TO the families of the victims,
many of whom were left almost pen

ruins. Panic ensued and the cries of
the injured and fleeing survivors filed

telegraph office to summon help from
this city and A La. ,Juela only to find
the operators dead. the wires down

special train for the scene of the dis
aster to lend first aid to the survivors.
Upon the Presidents arrival at Car

order. Provisions and clothing were
also dispatched from here.
Throughout the day special trains
arrived here. bringing the wounded.

WHY HE LEFT THE DANCE

One of the happiest homes this
side of Jordan was recently pic
tured by a strenuous American in a
happy and peaceful rural county
in the land of sunshine and moon
shine. He was on the witness
stand in behalf of the State in
murder trial. Go on and tell the
jury about the murder on He'll
Creek, > said the lawyer. All |
know is this, !" drawled the depon-
ent. We was all up thar at the
big dance celebratin' the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson; the iddles
wuz playin' and we wuz swingin'
corners and the boys got to slap
pin each other on the back as
they swung, but finally one of
'em slapped too hard and the other
Teller knocked him down. His
brother shot that Teller down, and
that feller's brother cut t'other
feller's throat and the Teller that
was knocked down drawed his
knife and made a swipe at the 9TH
er fellow, and the old man of the
house got mad and run and got
his shot gun and turned loose both
barrels in the crowd, and | saw
there was goin to be trouble and
| left. -

GIRLS, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE

Figures iust compiled by the
Texas Commercial Association
confirm the previously estimated
number of unmarried women in
the state of Texas between the
ages of 10 and % years at only
325, 900 and it is believed that the
government census now under
way will show still smaller num-
Der than this. There is an excess
of 107, Ito more male than fema lie
residents of this age in the state,
so that the number of manageable
young women in the state is bound
to be kept small.
Surely" says former COVER
nor, this should be an EIysian
field for some of the surplus mar
riageable ladies of those Northern
and Eastern states which record
such SURPRISES in the female pop
ulation. Where are all those girlsl
Invite them down to make their
home in Texas, where awaits them
happy homes and knightly lover S.
Our own ladies', which we natur-
ally think the finest in the world,
will not be jealous, as most of
those who favor the married es-
tate, or whose parents can spare
them, are quickly engaged by men
who are afraid of getting left"

CARD OF THANKS

We wish to extend our sincere
and heartfelt thanks to the many
friends who stood by us SO faith
fully during the last illness and
death of our dear husband and
father, J. A. Mayhan, who quilted
this life on June 9th.
Although no one can fill the va
cancy caused by his death, you
have been as rays of light, lighting
up our lives in the dark hours of
bereavement.
May the blessings of God rest
upon each and every one of you,
that you may thereby be repaid
for your kindness, the value of
which is far beyond earthly COM
prehension.
Father, husband, how we miss you,
Since you've left us lonely here;
Tho we know that thou hast anchored
Safely in that heavenly sphere.
Fen the music is but sadness,
When the old songs now we sing,
Which, when you were in our circle,
Were to us a joyful ring.
In our midst thy place is vacant,
In our home the old arm chair,
Where you daily read the Bible,
Seems to whisper, Where, O, where?
We will ever strive to meet you,
Although Satan tempts us sore,
We will give our hearts to Jesus,
Him we'll praise forever more.
Farewell, father, husband, loved one,
Till we all in Heaven meet,
And amid the shining Angels,
Cast our crowns at Jesus feet.
MRS. j. A. MAYHAN AND CHILDREN

BE PROGRESSIVE

Don't wear your life away strug-
Cling along in the old ruts that
your forefathers cut SO deep by
continual travel. While they are
no doubt good in their way, the
man who never gets out of the old
ruts never gets very far in life's
race. Keep moving and pushing.
The men at the front these days
are those of brains and energy.
Any man of ability can have a
place there if he will hustle for it.
If he doesn't hustle the place will
be taken by the fellow who does.

NEWARK WON

Three men met and argued about
which had seen the most unusual
sights. The first man told about
having been in a place in Florida
where it was so hot and dry they
used crawfsh holes for gaspipe.
The other fellow said he had seen
apples grow so large and juicy
that when one fell it made a great
hole in the earth and overfowed
the ground with cider. The other
told of seeing places in Idaho
where it was SO dry they had to
sprinkle the river to settle the dust
the fish kicked up.
But an Arkansas man happened
along about this time and told of a
Newark man who was making a
potato crop and had to move his
fence out three times in order to
give the potatoes room to grow.
The fellow said he always had to
go home about 10 O'Clock every
morning and help the hired man
dig a potato for dinner.

kEMPF'S MODEL CITY
One of the Interesting Features of
the Arkansas State Fair


There will be many novel at
fractions at the State Fair at Hot
Springs, October 10th to 10th, but
none of them will probably exceed
in interest Kempf's Model City.
1t is perfect reproduction in
miniature of typical American
city, everything working auto
matically.
A few of the principal features
are: 4 section of mountain at
one end, which slopes toward the
city and contains coal mine with
miners digging coal; also stream
running down the mountain, fur
nishlng power to tiny sawmill;
a mountain railway runs up the
slope to the summit house. At
the foot Of the mountain the fac
tory and marine district COM
mences, showing shops, mills and
foundries. The marine scene
shows various types of great lake
vessels, bridges, docks, dredges,
pile-drivers, grain elevators, etc.
Beyond this is the business dis
trict, showing every phase of mod
ern commercial life, and convey
ances of all kinds plying up and
down the streets A fve-act the
atre, with changes of scenery in
each act, is giving a continuous
performance, tiny characters act
ing as if they were endowed with
life. Magnificent churches and
public buildings grace this section,
and at last perfect model of a +.
vestibuled express train appears
from a tunnel beneath the noun
tain, approaching the station, stop
ping for passengers, etc. Leav-
ing two coaches at the station the
engine runs on to turn-table
where it is turned around, after
which it is coupled to two coaches
and disappears beneath the noun
tain.
Every five minutes beautiful
chimes are heard from the church
towers, announcing the close of
day; the lighthouse flashes, the
buildings gradually light up; tiny
arc lamps illuminate the streets;
then the next day dawns upon the
Lilliputian city, above which is
shown the latest mode of travel in
an airship.
There are many other features
which go to make up this wonder
full little city, which covers forty
eight square feet of space, and is
operated entirely by electricity.
MIR. Kempf began work on this
unique invention when he was Is
years of age, and spent five years
work IN its construction.

CAUGHT MONSTER TURTLES

While on a fishing trip down on

monster turtles. The turtles were
engaged in vicious fight when
captured, and each had left evil
dences of his prowess upon the
body of his antagonist. The larger
