Growth of the Methodists.

The following figures on the
growth of Methodism in the
United States, as published in an
exchange, will be read with
interest:
Methodism has grown and ex-
panded remarkably in the United
States since its first conference
was held in 1773, when toll, dam
gers. hardships and privationS
characterized life. In 1910 there
were 18 bodies of Methodists,
representing a total Of 1888, 779
members. Of these bodies the
Methodist Episcopal Church and
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South are the two larger. The
former is accredited with 3, ZAP, :
631 church members, 1868, 1852
Sunday school scholars, and 49,
597 preachers; and the Methodist
Episcopal Church South is ac-
credited with 1,817,732 church
members, 6,3S8 preachers, and
1858, 467 Sunday school pupils.
It's educational plants alone are
valued at $11,978, 1873, to say
nothing OF the churches, par
sonages, Epworth encampments,
mission homes, etc., scattered
throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Nor is this
all. The white banner of
peace, the bloodless emblem
under which Methodism won
its victories for the uplift of
humanity, now floats over mis-
sions and other church enter
prises in all foreign lands, and
today the prayers, hymns and
supplications of l, $50, 442 Metho-
dists across the sea are mingling
with those 6,838, no in America
in praises of Him unto whom
each knee shall bend in worship.

What Blease Really Did Say.

The Sol h Carolina press has
during the last few days carried
a stenographic report of the re-
marks of Gov. Cole L. Blease be-
fore the recent Governors Con-
ference in Richmond, the report
having been secured, at cost of
$5 to the Governor, from the
Richmond Times Dispatch. The
following extract from the re-
port covers the Governors re-
marks as to his attitude toward
the protection of negro assailants
of white women in this State:
By Gov. Carey, of Wyoming:
Gov. Blease, when you were
sworn in as governor of South
Carolina, did you not swear to
uphold the constitution and laws
of the State of South Carolina?"
By Gov. Blease: Il did, sir. "
By Gov. Carey: Don't you
have a law on the statute books
of South Carolina protecting the
negro the same as you do the
white man."
By Gov. Blease: Yes, sir. |
will answer the governor of
Wyoming, as | answered this
question on the rostrum in South
Carolina-I wish to call upon the
newspaper men present not to
say that | am excited; in South
Carolina, thank God, | have a
record of not only being fighter,
but a cold-blooded fighter
answer you, sir, by saying this:
that whenever the constitution
of my State steps between me
and the defense of the virtue of
the white women of my State, |
will resign my commission, tear
it up and throw it to the breezes
and march to the defense of her
honor and her virtue, regardless
of what may be the conse-
quences.

WISHES LAW ENACTED
AGAINST MISCEGENATI0M

Denunciation of the legal pro-
cedure under which "a brown
hued, black-skinned and brutal
hearted African can walk into an
office of the law and demand an
edict guaranteeing his legal we'd
lock to a white woman" was one
of many sensational features of
a speech in Congress a few days
ago by Representative Rodden-
berry, of Georgia, in favor of a
resolution he had introduced to
prevent intermarriage of whites
and negroes.
Mr.. Roddenberry prophesied
that the legal sanction of mixed
marriage ultimately might bring
this country to a conflict. He de-
clared that mo brutality, infamy
or degradation in all the days OF
Southern slavery possessed such
villainous characteristics, afro
cious qualities, as the permission
of that marriage by the laws OF
this country" "
The measure, a direct result of
the marriage recently in Chicago
of Jack Johnson, negro pugilist,
with a white pirl. did not get to
a vote. In Chicago, Mr.. Rodden-
berry said, not only is the white
slave" traffic carried on, but the
white girls of this country are
made slaves of an African brute,
sanctioned by the laws of the
State, and solemnized by a form
of the marriage ceremony"
Mr.. Roddenberry added: I'VE
say this is great country, with
it's morals, traditions, virtues and
examples deserving to be EMU
lated and envied by the other
countries of the earth, but we
see an African with much brutal
force, with no moral character,
with no stamina. entering the Of
flee of a probating magistrate or
other legal officer in that city
and calling on him to issue to
me. Jack Johnson a marriage
license to wed a young American
woman, of our own blood and
color" "
The speaker declared that in
the fellowship between the whites
and the blacks in the South, the
blacks respected the superiority
of their former masters and
would commit self-destruction be-
fore entertaining a thought Of
matrimony with a Caucasian
girl.

Greenbacks to be Smaller.

With the end of preparation
for revolutionary changes in the
design and size of American cur
rency almost in sight, Secretary
MacVeagh, Of the treasury de-
partment, expects to give the
order for printing the new notes
to director Ralph Of the bureau
Of engraving and printing about
February Is. 1t will, however,
require Is months to accomplish
the change.
Secretary MacVeagh has en-
gagged Kenyon Cox, an artist, Of
New York, to design the back of
the notes, which will be the same
for all denominations for all
classes of notes. The design by
Mr.. Cox is symbolic of progress
and peace, showing the develop
ment of the nation in the lines
of labor and commerce. The
new currency will be two-thirds
the size Of that now in circula-
ton, its dimensions being 6 by
PIP inches.

BETHEL RESClNDS VOTE /.
ON REMOVAL OF CHIC0RA

A matter of considerable in
terest in this section was the ac-
ton of Bethel Presbytery at a
special meeting in Rock Hill
Monday resembling the vote
whereby it went on record some
months ago as opposed to the re-
moval of Chicora college from
Greenville to Laurens. The prop
osition to move the college came
up for consideration and deter.
mination at the fall meeting of
the Presbytery held in Fort Mill
in September and resulted in
a spirited contest which was
watched with more than passing
interest not only locally but
throughout the State. Then the
Presbytery went on record as op-
posed to the change. A number
of speeches were made for and
against the removal of the COL
lege by distinguished ministers
and laymen, among the number
being Ex-Governor Martin +.
Ansel. The more recent action
of the Presbytery with respect
to the removal of the college and
the acceptance of the offer of
Laurens is said to be due to the
impression that Greenville will
not fulfill the promises of finan-
cial aid which were made at the
fall meeting of the body. Re-
Gently, it is said, a canvass was
started in Greenville to raise
$4,000 for the institution, but
less than $1,000 was secured.
Greenville asked that the matter
be left open until March, but by
that time the Laurens PROPOSE
ton will have expired and it was
feared that city would not renew
her request for the college.
Bethel Presbytery therefore de-
cided that action should be taken
at once.

A Bull Moose Paper.

The progressive leaders of this
State, recognizing the value of
newspaper support, have de-
cided to organize a stock COM
pany to publish a weekly paper
in Columbia for distribution
throughout the State, and which
will be the party organ of the

lima.

Commoner, its mission being to
educate our people on the two
! rty proposition and to familiar
izt them with the platform, and
par tenets Of the new white
part, and will stand squarely
on a asis of absolute white rule
for al Southern States just as
the DE- nocratic party does.

of the { reenwood News-Scimiter,

which ill be called the Pro
pressive Advocate. Mr.. Beard
is State secretary of the pro-
gressive party.

Want New County.

The people of Woodruff, in
Laurens county, are anxious to
form a new county out OF por-
tions Of Spartanburg and Laurens
counties with Woodruff as the
county seat, and the promoters
are confident OF success.
The people of " Ncndruff are
highly elated over the p.'oposed
formation of the new county nd
are exceedingly ambitious tina,
the thrifty town should have the
distinction of being a county
seat. A long line of argument
in favor Of the plan IS ready for
submission before the proper
authorities and the outcome OF
the matter is awaited with inter-
est.
For some time attention has
been centered on the movements
being made by Clinton people
who are desirous to have acounty
with Clinton as the county seat
and to be formed from parts Of
Spartanburg, Laurens and New
berry counties.
The proposition of the Wood
ruff people has been kept on the
quiet and few people were aware
of the fact that they were get
ting matters in shape for pre-
sentiment.
