AGAINST ADVICE
OF THE BISHOP
HoLsToN CONFERENCE ADMITS
APPLICANTS FOR THE
MINISTRY.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. 5.-The Hol
ston conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south now in SEES
sion at Abingdon, Va, today went
contrary to the will Of Bishop John
C. Kilgo, who is presiding, in admit.
ting class of applicants for the min
istry whom the admission committee
had reported adversely. Bishop Kill
go held that some Of the applicants
were not sufficiently educated to
preach the gospel, but the conference
by decisive vote admitted them.
A report submitted by Rev. I. p
Martin, recommending the raising OF
$4,000 for a central building at EN-
DRY and Henry College, at Emory,
Va, was unanimously adopted. DR.
Geo. R. Stuart championed the rec
ommendation. It was pointed out
that the general board of education
had recently contributed $4,000 to
this institution, Andrew Carnegie $25.
900 and the conference $4,000, but
that a new building was necessary.
Bishop Kilgo preached tonight to
an audience that packed the large au'
ditorium.

YOU MUST REGISTER

MONTH IN MAURY
BOOKS TO BE OPENED FOR sup
ELEMENTAL REGISTRATION
MONDAY, OCTOBER IA.
REMAIN OPEN THREE DAYS
Just a Removal From One House to
Another Necesstates Another Re-
ceipt Before Qualification to Vote
Is Complete.

Next Monday. Tuesday and We'd
nesday, October IA, 10 and 16, will
be the last opportunity of the voters
OF Maury county to register before
the day of the election in November.
The books will be opened Monday
at the various voting precincts and
will be kept open for the supplement
tai registration until Wednesday
night. All persons not holding regis
tration receipts now must have re-
ceipts as a qualification to voting.
All persons now holding a receipt,
but who have moved their place of
residence since that receipt was is
sued must have a new receipt in or
der to be qualified to vote.
This latter feature will not affect
the country districts but little in the
coming election, but if the towns of
the county it may be more important
The fact that you still live in the
town or district does not remove the
necessity for registration. A simple
move of from one house to another
or just across the street, or a coun-
try road, maks it obligatory on the
voter to register again before ne can
vote legally.
1t has only been little more than
two months since the August cleo
ton and it is not likely that there
has been much moving sine that
time, but all who have moved must
register again, and the books will be
open for the purpose of allowing all
that privilege, beginning Monday
morning, October IA.
II you have any doubts about your
receipt, if it has been misplaced or
you have changed your residence, get
another one.

Firm Tone in Vegetables, Excep,

There was an unexpected slew up
in the demand for poultry and eggs
on the foreign markets Wednesday
morning, and there were no offerings
for eggs in New York City. This has
not affected the prices here but will
If the condition obtains for any length
of time.
There was firm tone in yogeta-
bles Of every character during the
day and this morning there is 70 ev-
idence of fluctuations, though pota.
toes are somewhat weaker. The re.
ported advance in grapes a snort
time ago is failing to materialize as
emphatically as was expected and the
fruit is showing a disposition to go
lower.
Field seeds are growing in demand
and this will be greater little later
when the fall rains put the ground in
condition for preparation.

HARRY FORD SAILS HYDRO-AEROPLANE.
 ACROSS HARBOR
Inventive Young Automobiles Has Built Machine in
 His Garage

Harry Ford, proprietor of the Ford Garage in Stratford avenue and ss- pirant for aviation tonors, speeded up his Curtiss hydro-aeroplane in the outer harbor early this morning ana skinned over the water at nearly a mile a minute Many occupants of harbor craft watched the interesting movements of the big powerful air craft and waited with much curiosity for Ford to shoot skyward.
 Ford is not keen about flying at once He launched his craft only Friday, and keeping if on the beach near the Sea Breeze bathing pavilion he has made. several early morning trials of the device.
 This morning for the first time he put the hydro-aeroplane through sew eral stunts. The craft skinned gracefully over the smooth waters of the outer harbor and through the upwards of an hour before Ford drove her shorewards.
 The hydro -aeroplane was construct ed in It's entirety in the Ford garage. It is built on the approved lines of the Curtiss by-pIane with a double stunts. When Ford built 1t originally it was with the idea of making 1t 4 regular Curtiss aeropiane, and when Glenn $. CurtiSs visited the city lasC year in connection with the aviation meet at the Lake aerodrome, he went overt the machine and congratulated the progressive young automobiles on his work He approved the machine, recommended a few minor changes, and left Ford to complete his work.
 Ford had trouble in obtaining a sat- isfactory motor last summer however and left the machine in his garage. He watched with keen interest the hydro-aeroplane stunts of Beckwith Havens, at Sea Breeze island in the Memorial day exposition, and after consultation with Havens and others in the flying game, he decided to com- plete his machine as a hydro-aero- plane He has a satisfactory 1 cylin- der motor.
 Ford says he is not anxious to fly without first learning just how. to handle the machine in the water. Then he will make jumps from the wavee, to small elevations, until he satisfies himself that he is the master of the machine

IT'S EXPENSIVE TO ! BE FINED IN COURT
 OF FAIRFIELD TOWN
Costs Heap Up Enormously and $1 Fine May Mean
 Nearly $20
Especial to The Farmer.O

Fairfield, July 3.-1n the town court here this morning several cases were disposed of by Justice Bacon Wakeman James Brown, a local garage man, paid a fine of $5 and costs for assaulting a former em- ploye, John Roland. The complain ant had taken out one of Browns cars, and returned it in damaged con- and Brown took advantage of an op- portunity to wreak his vengeance on Roland at the Fairfield station when he gave him beating.
 Oscar Kozerski, who beat his wife, Eva, when she neglected to have his breakfast ready on time, was fined $1 and costs. It isn't so much the fine one had to pay this court, as the costs that go with it. Oscar had tu pay his dollar, then added to it was an assessment of SISSY.
 The responsiveness of getting fined in Fairfield was reflected also in the trial of Annie Swincicka, who was ar- rested yesterday on complaint of a neighbor in Lenox Heights, Felixa Oviewinska, who claimed that Annie had bad habit of getting intoxicated and raising disturbances. Yesterday she filled Felixa's ears with dirt by way of diversion. Today she was fined $5 and costs, and the costs amounted to $22.58.
