ence OF this Church In AsheviiIe. ".
c.. next May, states that his figures
show that the church has increased It's
membership since the last meeting of
this body 2ea.0ee.
This viii be bright and encouraging
news TO all tho 100000 adherents of
this church throughout the United
States. II has been stated by some that
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
was not holding its own, but these fig
ures given by Bishop Hendricks show
this rs mistake. It Is estimated by
some that the membership before these
100000 were added was between 1,700,-
900 and 100000.
The next report shows there were
about 10000 churches and 5000 local
preachers, and Of the twelve bishops
living at the last meeting OF this quad
rennial Conference four have died

City Attorney Pollard. In an opin-
ion just rendered, at the reqrest OF the

holds that those clubs serving liquor

declares, under the State law,
Several days ago the police asked a
ruling in the case of the Sixth Regt-
H4eHt Club. negro organization In

served liquor after the midnight hour.
The club officials admit that the liquor
was served after IL o'clock, but say
that 1t was paid for before the closing
time.
Mr. Pollard shows in his written
opinion, which, goes into every phase
of the matter, giving many authori-
ties that under the provisions OF the
Byrd liquor law passed by the last
Legislature the State may prosecute
the officers and members Of the club.
bu. the city can do nothing since no
