To the People of Henderson.

The Methodist Protestant Annual
Conference meets here November %,
and we are expecting about one hun
dred and seventy five present; it will
continue about six days.
Now we are informed that it has
been customary heretofore when such
church bodies meet here for the good
people in all churches to join in en-
tertaining them. We shall greatly
appreciate it if all who will aid US by
taking one or more delegates will
call up either A. J. Harris, L. S. Nc.
Coin or II. Z. Powell, and let them
know how many delegates they can
take. This committee will not cal
personally upon any outside of the
church to help, but will greatly ap.
,preciate it if those who can and viii
help Us, will let them know as soo1
as possible what outside assistance
will be given.
am very truly yours,
r. NJ. Andrews, pastor.

Resolutions By Vance County
Eadmers' Union.

At a regular meeting OF Vance
County Farmers Union. at Hender-
son, on October Sth, 191 |, the fol
lowing preamble and resolution were
adopted:
"Whereas we view with alarm and
dissatisfaction the downward ten
dency Of the price of tobacco and
cotton, and
"Whereas we do not believe this
condition is due to the OverprOduc-
tion of either of these crops, but that
the cause lies in speculation entirely
and the manipulation of prices by
those who have no cotton or tobacco
to sell but are gambling on futures
and thereby misrepresenting actual
conditions,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
will, as far as we can hOnorably do
so, hold our produce, believing that
the demand for spot goods will iusti-
fy in such action.
eve further request all non-uniOn
farmers to join us in this effort to
secure at least living profit on the
products of our toll"
The above resolutions should have
appeared last week, but cnme innfter
the paper was printed and mailed.

Charlotte Chronicle. J

In the great Ecumenical Confer
ence, now in session in Toronto,
Bishop kilgo, of North Carolina, has
taken quite an active and conspic-
uous part and home people have fol-
lowed his remarks with much inter-
est. The Baltimore Sun has made a
summary of facts in regard to this
conference which we find of absorb
ing interest. Prefacing it's editorial
| With-"Methodism was born in
great missionary movement, and for
more than century has sgone march
ing on it's way around the globe.
From thr days of Wesley it has OBJ
served the call to go into all the
world and has done it's part in bring
ing nearer the time when the gospel
shall be preached to every living crea-
ture. It's enlistment of men of every
land and tongue is exemplified in the
Ecumenical Conference now in session
in Toronto. Seventeen countries are
represented by the 500 delegates, and
the statisticians assert that the vari-
Gus bodies of Methodists now EN-
brace 100000 communicates, with
30,O00,000 adherents under MethO-
dist influence. The Sun says no
Protestant denomination has shown
more remarkable growth than the
Methodists, and there appears to be
little ground for pessimism in regard
to the future. DR.. II. X. Carroll
pointed out in an address at Toron-
to that in the past decade there has
been an increase of but 437 ,562, or
Is per cent, compared with l ,261,-
200, or 33 per cent, in the decade
ending in 1891. But this is only rel
ative, and denomination that can
show q net increase OF over 100000
in ten years is certainly moving for
ward. While conditions in England
are not so favorable as in America
according to the accounts of Rev.
Simpson Johnson and Rev. Henry
Haigh, the reports from the mission
fields are more than gratifying. Rev.
William Williams declares that
''every tenth person in Australia is a

There are 1928 missionaries in ac-

ordained ministers in the home con-
ferences, the consecrated captains

The address of President Lewis, of
the Methodist Protestant General
Conference for a union of all Ameri-
can Methodists into one body was
an eloquent plea for closer cooper
alton of the IT separate bodies,
which now bear the Methodist name.
Heretofore neither the Efforts for
"organic union nor for consolida-
tion have been entirely successful.
But whether the Methodists main
tain their distinctive organizations
or unite in one immense body, they
will continue to be one of the most
virile and energetic divisions OF the
Church Militant.

CONFIDENCE.
We Back up Our Statements with Our
Personal Reputation and Money,


We are so positive that we can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost il
we fail.
We think that it is worse than USE
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics
may do much harm. They may cause
a reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
| Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness OF
the nerves, and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect q cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active princi-
pie of our remedy involved the labor
OF skilful research chemists. This
remedy produces results such as are
expected from the best-known intes-
tinal tonics, and it is particularly
prompt in its results.
