CONTEST ON
IN MP. CHURCH
Several Candidates in Field for
Election to the Presidency.
Or. Graham in Lead.

Interest is growing keener every day
in the selection of the president Of the
Maryland Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church at the annual meet
ing, April 10th, at Laurel. Del. Al
though the tenure of office is only one
year. il has become so well established
as a custom to re-elect the same man
four times that election practically
means a five-year term.
One of the names prominently men
toned in connection with the position is
Rev. DIR. Walter r. Graham. who was
well supported five years ago, when
Rev. DIR. J. NJ. Sheridan. the incumbent,
was chosen. Dr. Graham has a number
of earnest supporters, who have voted
for him even at the by-elections. when
the reelection of the incumbent was re-
garded as certainty and little interest
was taken in the suggestion of any one
else for the place. Some of the friends
of DR.. Graham believe that his name
has been used so much as a candidate
that the full strength of his support has
begun to wane.
Rev. DIR. John S. Howers is said to
have strong backing among the Balti-
more members Of the Conference. The
main issue is said now to be between
him and DR.. Graham, although Rev. Geo.
w. Haddaway of Starr Church, Mont
Alto. is the most prominent of the 9th
ers mentioned for the place.
Age is likely to enter prominently into
the contest. now that the five-year plan
has gained so much force. 1t is pointed
out that DIR. Bowers and DR.. Graham
are mong the older men of the Confer
ence. and that they would not likely be
brought up for election five years hence
If defeated now.

AN EPITAPH

Mason and Dixon's line is fast
becoming a memory. says the
Kansas City Journal. but here and
there are to be found evidences of
the once bitter hatred which pre-
vailed in the days of the civil war.
George W. Kerdolf, who before
entering the insurance business
spent much time in the south, tells
this story of an epitaph rudely
carved on a block of sandstone yet
to be seen in n Louisiana parish:
When the slogan of the south
was "On to Washington" and the
youth of the Confederacy had
shouldered their muskets for the
front. leaving only the older folks
and women aud children at home a
band of Union soldiers came into
Louisiana. Sighting the enemy
the aged men, assisted by the
women. gathered together their
scant supply of firearms and plan
ned resistance. AS the Federal
forces came up a narrow lane the
Southerners opcned fire with such
deadly effect that the invaders
retreated, leaving one of their
number dead upon the field of
battle.
The victors buried the fallen foe,
and over his grave TO this day one
may read the roughly-chiseled
epitaph:
THE Yankee bands, with bloody
hands,
Came southwark to divide our
lands.
This lonely and deserted spot
Is all this derned old Yankee got"
