Previous to the reading OF the ap-
pointments the Western North Caro-
lima Conference was busy to-day with
the adoption OF the reports of boards
and committees.
The board OF missions recommended
an assessment of $4,000 on the con.
ference the coming year for foreign
missions, and $4,000 for domestic mis-
sions. The report recommended the
election of III. K. Boyer, missionary
secretary OF the conference; J. II.
West. president OF the board Of mis-
sions C. II. Ireland. vice president.
and C. A. Wood, secretary and treasur-
err.
After this report had been read G
II. Neal submtted resolution recon-
mending that the conference petition
the different boards of the church not
to increase the assessments upon this
conference for the year 1912. He said.
In speaking to the resolution, that the
financial ability of churches could
reash the limit, and that he felt the
limit had been about reached in this
conference. He said there were num-

the preachers and laymen in the
church to be loyal. they felt all they
had to do was increase the assessments
and the loyal preachers and laymen
would come across" with the money
Some churches. he said refrained
from increasing the salaries OF their
pastor. because of the fact that they
know that when they do SO the as
sessments for other causes will be
Increased. J. A. Baldwin opposed the
resolution. saying he felt the confer
ence should not take action, which
looked like effort to circumscribe the
work OF the church.
The committee on temperance sub
mitted strong resolutions. which were
adopted. urging the enforcement OF
hibition of the sale of near-beer, CO.
caine morphine and similar drugs the
prohibition OF interstate shipment OF
intoxicants into prohibition States.
The report alsi Endorsed the recon-
mendation OF the general conference OF
this year in recommending preachers
to abstain from the use OF tobacco.
Bishop Hendrix said he used tobacco
when young man. but never after
he entered the ministry, and that he
had felt always that ne could not af-
ford to indulge in anything that might
be offensive to others.
The indications now are that the ap-
pointments announced to-day as
whole. have given more satisfaction
than any that have been read to this
conference in a number of years. No
complaint was heard among the preach
ers after the reading. and the confer
ence adjourned in a most satisfactory
manner.
