REV. DR.. WATT IN A DEBATE
In Vigorous Speech at the General NJ.
(. Conference He Opposes Reso-
luton Aimed at tobacco Users

In Vigorous Speech at the General M.
(. Conference He Opposes Reso-
luton Aimed at Tobacco Users
A drastic measure, declaring that
no man who uses tobacco in any
form is eligible to election to any
Office in the gift of the conference,
was passed by three-fourths vote
of the General Conference of the M.
E. Church at Minneapolis last We'd
nesday. For the first time this
session, says the Baltimore Sun, a
speaker was interrupted with groans
of disapproval. This occurred when
one Of the delegates opposed the
passage of the measure. 1t is said
the tobacco resolution has a direct
bearing upon some candidates for
office and makes some of the most
competent and popular office holders
ineligible for reelection. One
popular candidate for bishop, it is
limited, uses the weed. In present.
ing the resolutioa, Rev. DR.. Robert
Stephens, of Illinois, won applause
by saying: 1--WE should have things
in such form that no tobacco user
can roint his finger at any officer of
the church and say, "There is a
man that uses tobacco. He said
the resolution did not infringe upon
the rights of laymen in their duties
to God, but that it merely defined
the relations of officers of the
church and the General Conference.
Rev. DR.. Robert Watt, of Smyrna,
in fiery address opposed the reso-
ution. "The first thing we know"
he said, ''we will have a religious
| almanac which will tell US how to
get up, how to sit down. how to
stand, how to walk and when and
how to pray. When you try to
make man good by machine law
you have a dangerous man on your
hands. - Following the speaker a
delegate created laughter by moving
that the resolution be referred to
the committee on education, which
was voted down. Other motions
to refer and to lay on the table
were killed and the resolution was
adopted by an overwhelming major
ity." DR.. Watt has made speeches on
several subjects and won much ap-
plause by his protest against refer
ing important questions to commit
tees of the General Conference. in
stead of adopting a popular rule
method Of having the delegates dis
pose of the questions in open con-
vention. The Rev. DR.. G. A. Hill
pastor of St. Paul's Church, Will
mington, another Wilmington Con-
ference delegate, was honored by
being made member of the COM
mittee on Episcopacy, which con-
siders subjects directly affecting
the election or retirement of bish.

FRUIT CROP SAFE DESPITE GOLD

Frost Appears in Some Places But so
Light That it is Scarcely Noticeable
Reports from various parts of the
State, says the Morning News,
show that in most instances the
fruit crop has escaped serious dam
age from the frost of early yester-
day morning. In only one place,
the section about Delmar, is loss re-
ported. Other sections are hopeful
and all that they fear is a second
frost which would prove serious.
The following will give an idea of
the general situation:
Lewes-The low temperature dur
ing the night produced a light frost,
but it was not sufficient to have
caused any serious damage. In
fact, it was hardly visible. Inter-
views with number of fruit grow
ers confirmed the belief in an
aboundant crop of all kinds of fruit
in this section.
Delmar-Unseasonably cold wealth
er this week has worked injury to
the berry crop, especially early
berries. The growers of this com
munity will lose several hundred
dollars. There was no frost this
morning but a light one is antici-
pated tomorrow morning. Fruit of
all kinds will be injured in such an
event.
Seaford. While there was a
slight frost Monday night, reports
received from truckers and fruit
growers in this section show that il
was not sufficiently heavy TO do any
damage to early vegetables OF
fruit.
Dover-While there was frost ir
some places throughout Kent county
Monday night and early Tuesday
morning it was not sufficient to in.
jure the fruit or early truck. II
West Dover on two or three farm!
there was quite sprinkle of fros
early in the morning. In tht
southern part of the county, how
ever, there was no Indication of an,
frost.
Georgetown-Although Georgetown
is experiencing frosty weather,
stiff breeze is blowing which is re
lieving the anxiety of the frui
growers in this section of tn
county. They believe that SO loni
as the wind keeps blowing tha
there will be little damage, if any
to berries and other fruit. N
damage yet is reported.

condition Of dress and undress above the perfect sky of brilliant stars and with not cloud in the sky, all tenn pered with a bitter cold-a curious, deadening bitter cold unlike anything we had felt before
 "And then, with all these. there fell on the ears the most appalling noise that human being ever listened to- the cries of hundreds of our fellow beings struggling in the ice cold wa ter, crying for help with a cry we knew could not be answered We long ed to return and pick them up, some of those swimming, but this would have meant swamping our boat and the loss of the lives of all of us.
 Sang to Drown Dying Walls.
 We tried to sing to keep the wom. en from hearing the cries and rowed hard to get away from the scene of the wreck, but think those sounds will be one of the things the rescued will find it hard to efface from mem ory.
 We kept lookout for lights and several times it was shouted that steamers lights were seen, but they turned out to be either a light from another boat or star low on the horizon. About 3 am we saw faint lights showing in the sky and all re- joiced to see what we expected to be the coming dawn but after watching for half an hour and seeing no change in the intensity of the light, realized ii was the northern lights.
 Presently, low down on the hori- zon. we saw a double light. They proved to be the masthead and a deck light below of 6 rescuing steamer We swung around and headed for her. The steersman shouted:
 Now boys, singl' and for the first time the boat broke into song with Row for the Shore, Boys, and for the first time tears came to the eyes of us all as we realized that safety was hand. The song was sung but it "a very poor imitation of the real ng, for quavering voices make poorA ngs. A cheer was given and that was better.
 Our rescuer showed up rapidly. She was now motionless and We had to row to her. Just then day broke As we neared the Carpathia, We saw in the dawning light what we thought was full rigged schooner standing up near her and presently behind her another, all sails set. We thought they were fisher boats But in an other five minutes the light shone pink on hem and we saw they were icebergs lowering many feet in the air, huge glistening masses and peak ed in a way that had easily suggested schooner There were others wher- ever the eye could reach. The steam CT we had to reach was surrounded by them and we had to make a de- tour to get to her. We rowed up to the Carpathia about 4:30 a.m and were hoisted or climbed up the ships side with very grateful hearts,"
