METHODIST CHURCH
AND ADJUSTMENTS
BISHOPS FAVOR RAISING BAR
AGAINST SAME.
WARM CONTEST EXPECTED
General Conference in Session at Mime
aPolis Will Give Questions Prayer
tal Consideration and
Decision,

MInneapoIis.-Ihe American people are
too far advanced longer to be restricted
by church rules As to what their amlse,
ments shall be. The rule prohibiting
dancIn, card playing, gambling aud 90.
ing to thclters, clrcuses and horse races,
therefore, should be abolished.
This IS the gist of II report presented
to the general conference OF the Meth
odist Episcopal Church by the board 10
bishops.
A demonstration which greeted Bishop
Earl Cranston's reading OF the recon-
aiendation was taken as indicating a
lively debate on the question when i.
comes up for a vote.
A motion declaring that the rule al
ways had been a source of constant irri.
tation and unrest in the church. and
asking that it be referred to a committee
was promptly voted down, arguments be-
ing presented that the full conference
was going to settle that question and
no one else"
Arguments against continuing the anti
amusement law as presented were;
The majority Of chureh-goers never
have relrained from dancing and the.
aters because of the church, and the vic.
lation of this rule has tended to bring
all church discipline into contempt; that
many people regard Shakespeare on TIC
stage as being as good as Shakespeare
in d book; that many people refuse to
condemn all places because some of them
are bad just as much as they would re
fuse to condemn all novels because some
novels are not proper; that gambling is
fundamentally wrong and does not need
a rule to prohibit it.
In adopting n resolution denouncing
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
for accepting the honorary craftsmanship
OF a brewers congress in Chicago last
October, the conference declared Prcsi-
idcnt Taft, Secretary Wilson and Sccre-
of State Know "huve forfeited all
on the future franchise of the
and sober manhood Of the ma
because they had ignored appeals
that no government official attend the
congress.

DELTA CROP PROSPECTS.
DR.. S. W. Glass Says Much Planting Has
Been Finished.

DR.. S. W. Glass, Of Coahoma county,
president of the state board OF health,
and one OF the largest planters in that
section of the state, states that good
Roadway is being made with the work
OF corn and cotton planting in the upper
portion of the delta.
Fortunately, the high water has not
reached us" says DIR. Glass, ''and the
farmers have been exceedingly busy in
the fields for the past two weeks. A
good portion of the corn and cotton acre
age is already in the ground, and, with
favorable weather conditions prevailing
a few days longer, planting will be fin
"Weevils caused considerable destruc-
ton in our section last year, and We nat.
urally expect the pest to be again i'll
evidence this year.
Conditions in the lower portion of the
delta are decidedly discouraging. I can
not see how it is possible to plant and
mature a crop after the waters recedc,
especially in view of the boil weevil
menace. As to the corn corp, it has been
my observation hat in former years.
following overflows and consequent late
paintings, the cut worms play havoc
with the corn crop"

Taft Sends Message to Congress Ap.
proving Plan.

Washington.-Presiden Taft sent TO
congress a message approving the plan
Of the commission on economy and eff.
icicncy to retire all government emf
ployes at the age of 10 years on an.
nuities eqaul to half salary, with a maxi.
mum limit at 5000.
The plan provides that employees enter
ing the service after adoption of The
approximation plan shall make annual
contributions to provide Il retirement
fund.
The commission estimates that the
plan would cost the government S227, 900
a year during the next twenty years, and
that the saving during the succeeding
sixteen years would equaIize it.
Present employees should be assessed
not exceeding eight per cent. The gov.
eminent would contribute for employees
who are nearing 20 years. EMPLOYEES who
leave the service could withdraw their
deposits to the retirement fund with in.
terest at four per cent.

SOUTHERN VETERANS
GATHER AT MACON
TEXAS TOWN FIGHTING FOR 1919
REUNION.
SONS HOLD BIG MEETING
Confederate Memorial Association in
Annual SesSion--Veterans Oppose
Presentation of Crosses
of Honor.

Macon, Ga.-Georgla's central city" is
receiving the hosts OF the ~Confederaey.
Nearly two-seore special trains had ar.
rived Monday night, bringing thousands
OF the old soldiers and their friends for
the annual reunion. Camp John b. Cor
don looks like an army post.
The Sons Of Confederate Veterans
opened their reunion amid the blare of
trumpets and roll OF drums. The meet.
ing was preceded by a street parade.
The sons were welcomed by Commander
j. NJ. Dunwody OF the local camp. Com
mander Charles c Hooper of the Georgia
division and city officials. The music
was furnished by the United Confederate
chOirs.
A movement 10 request the Daughters
OF the Confederacy to discontinue the
presentation of Crosses of honor" on the
ground that many who did not take part
IN any of the battles of the Civil War
have received these emblems of valor was
started by veterans. 1t is proposed that
instead of the crosses Of honor the daugh-
tiers have a new emblem designed and
that it be presented only to those who
can show by the records that they were
actually members of the Confederate
army and fought in the battles.
An interesting feature was the prescn-
tation to Mrs. Alex B. White of Wash
'ington, president-general OF the Daugh-
tiers of the ~Confoderacy, of the chair in
which Jefferson Davis was seated at his
reception here in 1887, when he made
his farewell address to his former sol
diers. The presentation took place at
the opening session of the Confederate
Memorial Association.
The largest delegation comes from
Texas, mostly because San Antonio is a
leading candidate for the next reunion.
Other cities which want the reuion in
1913 are Chattanooga and Jacksonville.
The Southern Confederate Memorial
Association, an organization of women,
whose purpose Is to erect monuments
throughout the South, convened Monday
Afternoon. The Sons Of Veterans ASSEM-

Red Cross Society Appeals for Funds

"aShlngton.-Ihe failure Of congress
TO pass the resolution approprlating
$4,000 for the relief OF the llold suffer,
efs along the Mississippi river caused
the army to instruct Major Normoyle,
III charge OF the work in the Mississippi
valley Hood district, to cease making
contracts for supplies, and prompted the
American National Red Cross Society to
issue a second urgent appeal Tor funds
to take up the work OF relief when the
army stops. Urged to action, the house
passed the relief resolution, but the
measure still lacks the sanction OF the
senate, When the money is made avail.
able only $4,000 Of it will be left, the
balance going to the commissary depart
ment to reimburse it for funds already
spent from its regular appropriation.
While congress has been asked Tor only
$4,000, it was declared by Commissary
General Sharpe of the army that proba-
bly, $4,000 would be needed TO take
care Of the situation.

MEXICAN TROOPS STAY 700
Heavy Federal Force Surrounded in
Piedras Negras.

San Antonio, TeX,-Dispatches from
Eagle Pass tell Of a victory of federal
troops over rebels at a point near Mon.
clova, in the state Of Coahuila, where
700 rebels are reported to have been
killed.
1t was reported that the federals, COM
manded by Jesus Carranza, has encouu-
tered a force OF 1900 rebels at Cuatro
Cienejas. The rebels, under Salazar, be-
lleved they had an easy time ahead, aud
marching upon PIedras Negras, across
the river from Eagle Pass, became care
less. The fedcrals suspected this, re-
turned, surrounded the town while the
rebels were celebrating, and routed them.
