GATHERING
METH0DISTs At ASHEWLLE
The General Conference of the M.
E. Church, South Opened With
Immpressive Ceremonies.

Asheville, N. c., May with
325 delegates, lay and clerical and
with seven bishops on the platform,
the sixteenth quadrennial confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, opened here this
morning. The parquette of the big
auditorium was set aside Tor the
delegates, two seats for each repre-
sentative, one for the delegate and
one for the alternate. The chairs
behind the balcony of the theatre
were filled with nearly thousand
spectators. Bishop Wilson called
the conference to order, but IT was
nearly 10 o'clock bofore he raped
for order and the delegates were in
their places. Bishop E. E. HosS, OF
Nashville, gave out the opening
hymn and Bishop Wilson recited the
apostle's creed and offered the open
prayer. Bishop Key and Atkins
read the scriptures, followed by an
invocation by Dir. Frank Richard
son.
All of the bishops of the confer
ence except Bishop Fitzgerald are i'll
attendance. These include Bishops
Hendrix, Gambler, Wilson, Hoss,
Morrison, Key and Atkins. Bishop
Fitzgeralds health is too feeble to
permit him to make the journey to
Asheville. Aside from the devotion
al exercises which form major por'
tion Of the conference sessions, the
main feature of the program today
was the Episcopal address. This
address is really the report of the
house of bishops upon the condition
of the church, together with such
recommendations as the bishops may
deem advisable. 1t is a composite
address to which all the bishops con
tribute.
Bishop Morrison in his opening
prayer thanked God that the hanc
of the Almighty had been with the
church in its fight against the evil'
of the land, the whiskey curse. the
divorce evil and the desecration o
the Sabbath.

JUDGE N. A. PATTERSON.

The death of Judge n. A. Pat

county, removes a most interest
ing figure in East Tennessee his
tory. He was connected in a most
important way as a member of
the bench, with the reconstruc-
tion days of East Tennessee, and
it was due to him, largely, that
the bitternesses and neighborhood
hatreds growing out Of the war
did not find sympathy or aid in
at least one court. He has been
honored in retirement for many
years.-a philosopher, student, a
public educator and widely ad-
mired old man. He has contrib
uted many interesting and edify-
ing papers to the Chattanooga
Times and always was he inter
ested to do good, spread knowl-
edge and better his kind.
He will be missed throughout
East Tennessee, where his inhu-
ence for good has been felt for a
half century, and regretted by a
large circle of friends who knew
him only through his works. =
