beyond the corporate limits, that are
open on Sundays, and that the proprie-
tors remain in them and sell goods. If
this be true, it is a grievous violation
of law that should not be permitted.
1t is reported to US that a negro,
John Robinson, who lives in the neigh
borhood Of John P. Wicker's place, has
a son about fifteen years old who is
an idiot. The boy is allowed to roam
at large in the community to the ter
ror and intimidation Of the white wo-
men Of the vicinity. AS he may be-
come dangerous, we think it well that
proper precautions be taken by those
charged with such duties.
We find that the repairs to the
county jail that this body at its session
last spring recommended to be done,
have not yet been done. We agains rec
ommend that this work be done as
soon as possible, the guttering around
the roof, the whitewashing of all the
inside Of each and every room and
cell, be cleaned and white washed,
and that the back wall be repaired,
and stop the washing down Of the
remainder OF the Old wall, as it can
be done at a very small cost now, but
if it is put OF until it is all washed
down it will cost a great deal to re-
place it.
We want to thank His Honor Judge
Wilson and Solicitor Cooper for the
many courtesies shown this body
while attending to their several du-
ties.
All of which We beg to submit.

little work this year. Some OF the

is impossible between the 11th and
18th mile posts, and have notified the

been worked yet. It has been six
weeks or more that travelling has been
stopped. Also big ditch near Mr.. +.
L. Lominick's has come up in the

conference Greatly Extends Repre-
sentatiOn in General Conference
Several Officers Elected.

Asheville, n. c., May 1S.-Follow-
ing the absorbing work of electing
bishops and correctional officers, the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, today got
down to active work on many men,
orials and petitions SO far passed up
on by various committee.
Considerable surprise arose from
the fact that the report of the com.
mittee on education, which places
Vanderbilt university under absolute
control of the Methodist church, Gre
ated no discussion. The adoption
of the committee report forever sets
at rest the question of ownership of
the university and those favoring the
report declare the church has won a
great victory.
The following officers were elected
during the day:
Rev. w. w. Pinson of Tennessee.
missionary secretary; Rev. w. F. Nc
Murray Of Kentucky, church extern
sion secretary; Rev. F. S. Parker Of
Tennessee, general secretary of the
Epworth league and editor of The
Epworth Era; Rev. j. E. Dickey, of
Georgia. secretary Of the board of
education; Rev. A. ]. Lamar and Rev.
d. M. Smith, publishing agents.
The selections are considered the
best that could possibly have been
made.
measure was adopted by which
laymen will hereafter have greatly in
creased representation in annual con-
ferences. 1t is expected that this ac-
ton will meet with the approval of all
Methodists.
The conference, after considerable
discussion, adopted the majority re-
port Of the committee on revisals, fix
Ing the basis of lay representation in
the annual conference as one for ev-
cry $500 members of presiding eld-
er's district, provided no district shall
have less than four laymen.

defense by Mr.. McMahan.


The committee reported unfavor-
ably the resolution offered by Mr..
Stevenson proposing to amend the
constitution relating to the election
Of the State chairman.
The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That the party consti-
tuition be amended in article as fol-
lows: Insert in line after the word
Office the words except the State
chairman who shall be elected by the
State convention
add at end Of the article the fol-
lowing: Provided, if the Statdschair-
manship shall become vacant, the
committee shall elect a chairman to
act till the next State convention"
The committee reported favorably
on resolution by the Lexington dele
cation making the rules more explicit
and allowing the county executive
committee to fix the dates for county
campaigns.
The committee also suggested that
the word president" apply to the
presiding officer of the convention.
1t also suggested that a candidate
in the primary must be a Democrat
tefore being allowed to run.
BY vote of II to 16, the commit
tee decided the rules should be chang
ed so that should a voter prove that
he had voted in the previous primary
and his name had been accidentally
left off the books, the voter he allow
ed to cast a ballot.
The committee submitted an unfa-
vOrable report on the resolution offer
ed by r. =. Hamer, Jr., amending the
constitution so as to allow a voter to
come in five days before the second
primary. This now applies to the first
prin ary.
The question Of qualification of vot-
crs upon which majority and minority
reports were made by the delegations
started the fight. The various rcsolu-
tions in this matter were then read
and taken up separately.
The minority report by Mr.. Nc
Mahan recommended the amending
of the constitution so that only regis
tcrCG electors he allowed to vote
Mr.. McMahan, speaking on the
minority report, said that the inter
ference might be regarded as danger
Gus by some to restrict the white
mans vote. The elimination OF the
negro being aimed at, it might be
