College OF Bishops Against Demands
VI Women For Laymen's Rights
Large Gains in Membership-Sdn
For Idneracy.

Asheville, N. c., May 4.-with sas
delegates, lay and clerical and with
SIX bishops on the platform, the 16th
quadrennial conference of the Meth.
odist Episcopal church, South Oman.
ed here today.
The main feature of the pro.
gramme this morning was the episco-
pal address. This addres is really
the report of the college of bishops
upon the condition Of the church, to.
gether with such recommendations as
the bishops may deem advisable.
A committee on moral and social
reform was named in place of the
one on temperance and a committee
on general church relations in place
of that on colportage. It was ex-
planned that these changes were in
name only.
Bishop E. R.. Hendrix, Of Kansas
City, in making the episcopal address,
fatty refused the demand of the wo.
men Of the church for laymen's
rights and representation in the con-
ference. He said the demands were
not Gin harmony with the church's
idea of what was woman's place in
the church, in the home and in So
ciety." The address complimented
women for their devotion to the
church.
Bishop Hendrix's address stated
that the Methodist denomination now
numbered 100000 souls, the second
largest Protestant church in the
world.
1t gave their gains in the last four
years as 207.745. At present over T.
900 travelling and 1000 local minis
ters are in service. The church prop
erty now owned is worth SIS, 1000, ,0o0.
Four millions were spent for churches
and parsonages during the last year.
The veto power of the bishops and
their election for life were strongly:
supported and any attempt to de-.
was deprecated as a dangerous inno-
vation. Greater energy in foreign
field was recommended. Africa was
declared battle ground for the goth
century. A decided stand was TAX
en- against innovations in worship,
such as silent invocations and chant
ion Of fha Tord,c Dyo,,or
The movement to remove the four
year time limit on a preachers SER
vice in a church was not approved. Tt
would destroy the itinerant system,
upon which the church is based ac-
cording to the bishops.
Cooperation and division of terri.
tory with the Northern Methodist
church were indorsed.
Five additional bishops were recon-
mended.
The afternoon was devoted to the
meeting and organization of the va
rious standing committees. The Bat
terry Park hotel had set aside COM
mittee rooms for them and their ses-
slons lasted we'll into the evening.
Tonight in the auditorium, the form
al welcome was extended to the con-
ference. Liuet. Mayors made the adj
dress; there was music and i'm
promptu speeches by various dele
gates. Tomorrow will be devoted to
the reports of committees.

That Wisconsin has nearly nine-nine-
teenths of all the cheese factories in
the United States and almost one-sixth
of tie creameries is surprising reve-
lation even to those who have realized
thu exceeding Importance of the Bad
ger state in the dairy world. And vet
this is true, according to a record sent
out by the national department of edu-
cation with an accompanying map show
ing the location and number of these in
situations in the various states. 1t is dis
closed that even New York state, with
its boasted products, is far behind the
Badger state, and that no other eastern
state approaches anywhere near the
Wisconsin mark. Minnesota comes near
est in the west in the matter of cream
cries, but falls far behind in the number
of cheese factories
Another interesting disclosure is there
are three states and one territory, Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana and New Mex
leo, that have neither cheese factory
nor creamery.

Darlington Republican Jan. 20.
Troubles never come singly, and the
situation in Darlington today is little
short of serious. There is practically a
coal and wood famine in the city. Now
and again car of coal strays in and
then the coal men are beseiged by scores
and even hundreds of citizens begging
for even a few hundred pounds, but up
to date everybody has been supplied af-
ter fashion. Now comes word along
the street that provisions are running
low and on Tuesday night the electric
lights were turned off for an indefinite
period-no coal.
This is not written to criticise, but
in an earnest effort to obtain knowl-
edge. We do not pretend to know any
thing about conducting railroads and
simply ask why" and hoping an am
swer viii be furnished in our next issue.
Why does it take the c. M. & st. p.
Ry. from December Bird until January
18th to deliver a carload of coal in Darl-
ington and only four days to bring car
load of machinery from the same place?
Why has practically the entire coun-
try been kept on the verge of coal
famine for two months with the side
tracks full of empty cars? Why has
train after train passed through our city
hauling empties, and then turned around
and hauled them the other way?
Why would it not be just as easy to
haul coal and provisions? viii the rail-
roads kindly answer?

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their increasing Work Keeks Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when UNI
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
Chas. Goldsworthy, retired, living on
Hoard ST., Mineral Point, Wis, says:

any work for over five years as a
