The Ldyman's Missionary Con
ference which was held at the
First Presbyterian Church No
vember Is and IA was for the
most part with the consideration
of the great subjects, viz: The
Systematic Education of the
church in its Missionary Duty and
the Better Methods of Missionary
Finance. The Conference devel-
Oped the facts that few men know
anything about the mission work
of the church, and that only a
very small part of the church
membership gives anything to the
missionary causes at home or
abroad In consequence the Con
ference adopted the following
important resolutions:
Resolved, That we pledge our
prayers and best efforts:
l. To the more thorough edu-
cation of our own congregation
concerning missionary work both
at home and abroad.
2. To carry through an or
ganized and complete personal
canvass for missions and benevo
lences in our own congregation
with the purpose of enlisting the
entire membership as regular
supporters of missions.
The churches of Richmond ex-
pect to put these resolutions into
effect at once and a united for
ward movement will be inaugu-
rated in this city as a result of
the conference.

For Ages and Ages back, there
has been thousands of learned

pen: describing this great beast
trying to tell the number of his

must say thatas far as we have
learned the very best Of them
have failed.
The general view given is. that
this beast, is the Pope of Tome,
hut their arguments are so slim;
that it is in the Pope's favor.
And too, because they have fail
ed to show Bible proof, for their
arguements And for to just say
that he is the beast spoken of by
John; does not make it 80. And
we wish to say right here that if
we follow what man says without
Bible proof, we will never find

apply the number of his name

Now we must say to the read.

Dr. Starnes Stops Burglar

Dr. J. T. Starnes arrived home last Thursday night just in time to stop an attempted burglary of MT. c. F. Simmons residence on West Ash Street. Dr. Starnes was returning from town about nine o'clock on Thursday night, and was in the act of unlocking the front door of the house, when he was startled to see a nan come around from the back yard and jump the fence. On going into the house he found things in great disorder and the furniture tossed about. It de- veloped that the burglar had been in the act of searching the house for valuables and the timely arrival of Dr. Starnes had frightened him away. Exami- nation showed that nothing was missing but pistol which had been kept in the house.
 Mir. Simmons family were in Memphis on a visit at the time, and of course the burglar had the house to himself. It is like ly that he would have made a good haul had he not been in- terrupted.

 kogee young woman that he courted, for in note book at the police headquarters are the names of a dozen or more Mus Rogee women. Some are young girls, some are wealthy widows, but most of families of promi- hence. The Rhoades girl is a servant of "a wealthy Muskogee family, and the money she lost represents the savings of six or seven years. She had bought property with her money and was induced to mortgage it to get cash. After getting the money he told Miss Rhoades that he was going to Mexico to invest in some Mexican oil properties, and promised to triple her money in 30 days.
 Young Lee admits everything, and believing his only hope of escape lies in returning the girl her money, has kept the wires hot to Littleton, N. H., trying to induce his aged grandfather to mortgage his farm and send the money to save him. So far Lee has been unsuccessful.
 Since his arrest letters and telegrams have been pouring into police headquarters from all parts of the country. All are from women. A woman signing herself Lena" has wired to want to know why Lee has not kept faith. Another woman, Sunshine" by name, has wired from Oklahoma City, and a girl known as Babe" has written him a love letter from Muskogee. Other letters have come in from smaller towns in this part ot the country, all the young women nrotesting because Lee did net keep his vows.
 Chief of Police Depew said to- day that he had information that Lee was the head of a confidence gang of two :women and three men, but that their operations had not been very extensive un til Richard Lee, the bralns or the crew, had been placed be- hind the bars.
 Today Lee threw off his aus tere manner and admitted to the chief that he was all in. lie de- clared that he was out funds and had not sufficient money to nav for more telegrams. Young Hartley, who worked with Lee' left the latter at Juarez after the pair had lost heavily on the races.

Dig kemonstrance Against the Open Say looms Signed by so Per Cent of White Citizens and Majority of Colored, Presented to Judge Holloway
 on last Tuesday.
Special Train Left for Clarendon with Great Crowd of
 Brinkey People this Morning

At the September election through the slick methods of the organized whiskey forces, im- posing upon the unsuspecting coiored man by the grand ! father clause trick. Monroe county voted et-for license and therefore the petitioning out fight now in progress at Clarendon.
 The case was set for Tuesday, Dec. 3lst, and on that date the committee and 40 representative Brinkley citizens went to Clar- endon to present the big re- monstrance. The great throng of Brinkley gentlemen and ladies headed for the new court house in Clarendon made a spectacle that will not soon be forgotten there.
 Judge Holloway convened court soon after the crowd reached the Court House, Tues- day afternoon, the case being set for two o'clock.
 The petitioners against the is- .suarlce of license, were and are Represented by Attorney G. Otis Bogleof this city, and Thomas S Lee, of Clarendon. MT. Bogle in a few words stated that the people of Bfinkley didn't want the Judge to issae saloon license and that thss was signifed by

the fact that they had secured the signatures of the names of about 80 per cent of all of the white citizens against it.
 Attorney c. F. Greenlee, who represented the whiskey men, stated that they denied that the signatures of even a majority had been secured against license; that some whose names were on the petition didn't live within three miles of the Brinkley school house and stated that they (the whiskey mem intended to lprove that many of those whose names appeared on the petition never signed it at all. MT. Greenlee asked for the privilege of examining the petition and the census that the prohibition people presented. Attorney Bo- gle took the position that At torney Greenlee was entitled to examine the petition but had no right to the census prepared by the prohibition people and was Sustained in his contention.
 1t was agreed by the counsel that the case would be resumed on Friday morning (to-day) at nine o'clock and Judge Holloway fadjourned court with that under standing.
 1 BIG PARTY LEAVE ON SPECIAL
 TRAIN FOR CLARENDON
 THIS MORNING.
 On a special train over the ] cpttoa Bet 7sy big crowd of'. |our citizens left this morning at |8:30 for Clarendon to attend the hearing, which is now in pro-. gress. V
 The case, if stubbornly con- tested as some think it will be, may last several weeks. The business men of the Executive Committee, who are in charge of the fight against the issuance of license, are among our most re- 
 spsnsible, efficient and honorable citizens, Messrs. Elmo Clancy. o. H. Cooper, L. K. Brown and T. c. Simmons, and they have taken. care to make the fight on an honorable plan.
 An example however of the methods employed to overthrow the will of the majority of the white people was discovered by by them on Monday. A negro man had gone among the negroes with a slick scheme of intimida- tion to get them to sign a request to have their name removed from the petition against saloons. He told them that if they didn't want to have to be hauled down to court in a white mans fight. they'd better sign the request he carried to have their name taken off the petition against saloons. " With this and other more serious intimidations and fraudulent misrepresentations few of the colored people fell in the trap of the whiskey crowds hired men; But this didn't appear to work we'll as one of these colored men. Pink Holland, was arrested on Tuesday morning charged with forging by circulating a whiskey petition to which the signature of Attorney c. Otis Bogle was alleged to have been forged. Witnesses testified that Pink was telling that Lawyer Bogle gave him the whiskey petition. etc" When Lawyer E ogle dis covered Pink cleverness he got busy, and Pink is now under ar rest charged as above. It IS stated that the evidence will probably reveal the identity of some white man who 'employed the negroes to do this dirty work.
 The fight so far has been a quiet and peaceable one noNwith- standing the funny work as above noted. There. has been no harsh feeling or pc rsonalitles so far and it is to be be hoped that there will not be any.
