ONE GREAT CHUktN''|
IS THE PROGRAM
OF CONFERENCE
Separate Since 1s45, the Two Divisions
of Methodist Church Plan
Union.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 14,-As
a result of a conference here between
leading representatives of the Centen-
ary Episcopal Church, South, and the
Methodist Episcopal Church, North, it
is probable that the organic union of
Methodism in America will be accom-
plished in no distant future, and that
these two divisions of great religious
creed will soon consolidate and build
one great church and be as one peo-
pie.
The two divisions of this church be-
came independent in their operations
in 1S45, as a result of political eccle-
siastical differences, but at the meet
ing yesterday the leaders of the two
branches declared themselves one in
spirit, and while maintaining loyalty
to their respective denominations,
each speaker announced himself as
being in favor of the reunion of
Methodism.
John A. Patten and Bishop William
Anderson, members of the commits
sion on organic union, took part in
the discussion, and President John B.
Rice, of Chattanooga University, made
a strong appeal for unity.

Foreign MISSIONS
WANT MONSTER FUND

st. Louis, Jan. Al do not be-
lieve l am violating any confidence
when say that at the annual meeting
of all the secretaries of foreign mis-
sion boards in New York city, now be-
ing held, a proposition to raise a
monster missionary missionary fund
ma ybe decided upon"
This was the statement of ]. Camp
bell White, of New York, general
secretary of the Layman's Missionary
movement in an address before the
Mercantile Club. The advisability of
such a decision has been quietly talk
ed about for some time now, and the
announcement would not be at all
surprising. The goal will be at least
$4,000, which would fill badly need
ed want in the equipment of the mis-
sionary enterprise already established
abroad"

". S. M'KINNON FIRST
IN THE SHERIFF'S RACE

County politics opened in formal
manner today with the announcement
in this issue of The News of Mr.. w.
S. McKinnon for sheriff and tax collec-
tor. This announcement will bring no
surprise, as Mr.. McKinnon's name has
been prominently connected with the
race for sheriff for months, and in
fact his friends picked him out long
ago as suitable timber from which to
make first-class sheriff, and have
made no secret of their favor.
Mr.. McKinnon is at present serving
his eighth year as tax assessor of For
rest county, having been elected to
four two-year terms to that office
That he has done his full duty fairly
and impartially, is the verdict of the
people, and the opinion of the voters
of the county was forcibly expressed
three and one-half years ago, when

PARENTS find
MURDERED child

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 1.-THE mys-
terry of the identity of the child whose
body was found in a swamp near the
Schenectady road last Tuesday, the
victim of foul assault and murder,
has been partially cleared by the iden-
tification of the body by relatives as
that of George Melbeer, the five-year-
old son of Schenectady merchant.
The police are still looking for the
murderer, but have absolutely no clue
to the identity of the man. Coroner
Hodges has returned a verdict that
death was caused by the forcible ad-
ministration of carbolic acid after the
child was lured for his home by means
of box Of chocolates.
The parents of the lad are heart
broken and cannot understand why
anyone should have wished to kidnap
their son. They reported his disap-
pearance to the police about two
weeks ago but the similarity between
the two cases was not noticed by the
police until the mother of the child
called their attention to it.

Shine MACHINE
TO SOON down
BUSY greeks

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 14.-"Drop a
nickle in the slot and get shoe
shine" That is the latest electrical
device, and j. B. Cough, of Ellisville,
is the inventor. A company has just
been granted a charter to manufacture
the machines, which will be on the
market in short time.
The company is capitalized at $780,
900 and will be domiciled at Meridian.
1t win nanufaeture all sorts of electri-
cal devices attomatic machines,

polisher. The polisher viii work au-
tomatically, and as soon aS you heve
taken your seat and drobped y d{<kle
in the slot the machine gets busy md
gives you shine much quicker than II
can be done by hand.
The company proposes to establish
shoe shine parlors all over this state to
begin, and as soon as the machines
can be made probably will open
places in the larger cities of the coun'
try.
This means the keenest sort OF
competition for the Greeks who have
practiclly monopolized the shoe shin
ing business in the United States the
last few years. 1t was not so many
years ago when the negroes had this
business in their own hands, but the
Greeks gradually crowded them out
till there are but few negroes who
attempt to follow the business today
And now, it seems, the automatic ma
chine is to displace the Greek.

wounds in his back, shoulder and hand.
Alex Duckworth, a negro workman,

the sidewalk on Front street last night
from Mobile to Main, by which he
01ould easily have been tracked.
Reaching Dr.. S. S. Turner's office the
man literally lell into a chair in a
fainting condition. That he had not
bled to death before securing relief
seemed wonderful when one examined
his wounds
1t was shortly after o'clock last
night, when Duckworth started
through the Northeastern yards.
Leaving Mobile street, he had gone
scarcely hundred yards before two
negroes walking in the opposite direc-
ton stopped him, demanding what
money Ae mad IN MS pocket.
One Of the negroes grabbed Duck
worth, while the other went through
his pockets, finding a IS bill, all the
money the negro had.
As the men turned to leave him,
Duckworth grappled with the smaller
one. The other assailant whipped out
a knife and slashed their victim across
the back and the left shoulder. A
third stab nearly severed a finger.
Duckworth fell to the ground and the
fooipads ran off.
