HOSTS OF METH0D|sTs
WILL MOVE ON AsHEV|LLE

ASHEVILLE, n. c., May 2.-The ad
vance guard OF Methodists who will at
tend the 18th quadrennial conferences OF
the general Methodist conference, which
will meet in this city Wednesday for
a session of four weeks, is expected TO
arrive tonight and Tuesday.
The fact that the general conference
meets only quadrennially increases the in
terest attached 10 it's sessions. and ow-
ing to the many questions Of vital smpor-
lance to the future of the church to como
before the meeting for discussion, 1t will
be more largely attended by noa-dele-
gates than any of its predecessors
Among the questions that are being
discussed most in the conference organs.
and in the general organ of the church,
in anticipation of the general confer
ence are the episcopacy, the time limit OF
pastorates, lay representation OF the wo-
men of the church, change in the
manner of appointing presiding elders.
and order of worship. 91r 4ee.
The opinion exists in the minds of some
of the ministers and laymen Of the church
that from this time on the bishops should
be elected for only a certain number or
years instead of life, while others favor
the abolition of the episcopacy in Its pres
ent form.
There is also a strong sentiment OF
ference by which the presiding eledersf
of the future shall be elected by the an
nual conferences. instead Of being APP
pointed by the bishop, as is now the case
II is not unlikely that the time limit OF
the pastorate will be abolished at thi
meeting Should this be done, such actiog
will not affect the meeting of the annual
conferences and the appointment of ths
pastors: II is probable that they vii.

time. but IL the time limit should be
removed pastors will not he compelled -
move another pastorate at the end OF
four years. -
WILL NAME BISHOPS
There are at present seven bishops IN
active service of the church, and the
opinion exists that at least six more viii
be elected at the general conference
number of prominent preachers OF the
church are already being spoken Of for
the episcopacy. and the election viii be-
an event of far more than ordinary in
terest to the entire church.
The present order of worship does not.
il is said, give general satisfaction to the
church, and some changes in this direc-
ton will doubtless be recommended TO
the conference. rta
While the conference Is. in session
plan will be presented for a great ehau-
tauqua and assembly for southern Meth
odisin. Three sites in the western sec
ton of this state are being discussed.
Among other questions of extraordinary
Importance to be determined by the con-
ference will be the ownership and con-
troll Of the Vanderbilt. university by the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The
claim for the full and complete rights
of the church in the university are be-
ing supported. by Bishop r. E. Hoss, as
sisted by DR.. Fl. NJ. Du Bose. The oppos-
ing view is maintained by DR.. J. H. KirF-
land and Dr. G. p. Winton, both OF whom
ere members of the Vanderbilt board Of
trustees, the former being chancellor Of
the university.

for the upbuilding of the south, the land
and industrial department of the South

and Ohio. has played a most important
part.
HOW WORK is DONE.
When an inquiry is received, resulting
from information given out through any
Of the agencies, personal cores
pondence is at once taken up with the
prospective settler. His resources and
his needs are studied by trained men,
and he is given advice as to localities in
the south where he is likely to find the
best field for the particular branch of ag-
riculture or industry that he wishes 20
follow. Often agents OF the department
are sent to present the advantages sor
the south to settlers who appear desira-
BILE. Those of them who wish to visit the
south to make inspections for themselves
are afforded full information and every
facility at the command of the DEPART
ment. Every effort is made to locate de-
sirable immigrants in the south at places
where they will be able to win success
and help build up the country The de.
partment does not stop with the location
ofsettlers, but keeps in touch with those
that it has brought in until they are firm
ly established and are winning their
way.
Commercial bodies in every section OF
the south are invited to supply the de-
partment with literature and information
concerning the advantages of their par
ticular territory. The cooperation of
boards of trade, real estate agencies, and
individual land owners is earnestly asked
and has in hundreds of cases been given
with splendid results. The department is
now working with a larger force and bet
ter facilities than ever in the past is
in closer touch with the southern terri
tory than ever before, and through the
organization of boards Of trade and other
commercial babies all over the south is
being given. and is consequently enabled

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. May Jerry

ger. was arrested here Sunday, charged
with the theft of diamonds valued at
$4,000. while in transit between New
York and this city, and subsequently,
made a full confession, surrendering a
greater part OF the jeRelry to the de-
tectives making th- arrest.
The robbery had been perplexing to
the special agents of the express COM
pany. for so cleverly did Smith conceal
his deed that it was impossible to con-
newt him with the robbery in his offici Il
capacity. The express messenger tried to
dispose of the diamonds to a dealer who
became suspicious and notified the police.
The Jewels were secured from sealed
package between this city and Hamlet.
