gave the invaders a warmer reception
than they had bargained for. Small

loss. No American was killed In the
engagement, though Captain Burd Of

QUESTIONS FOR CONFERENCE
Dr.. KlIao Talks Of Some Of the Meth
odist Problems to Be Taken UP
At Sumter.

Columbia.-The annual meeting OF
the South Carolina conference, Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, will
convene in Sumter, November rs, with
Bishop Collins Denny Of Tennessee
presiding. 1t is expected that Bishop
Wilson will be present during the
conference to represent the of
church extension work. All the Meth
odist churches throughout the state
are now actively engaged In closing
up the work of the year.
Each district will elect four lay
men as members of the conference.
The Columbia district has chosen IL.
Quinby of Graniteville, I. N. Eubanks
Of Aiken, D. H. Ellis of Columbia and
J. l.. Smith of Johnston as its repre-
sentatives. J, Fuller Lyon, G. D. Stan
ley, F. H. Hyatt and w. ]. Murray,
all of Columbia, will attend the meet
ings of boards of which they are
members during the conference. Sum
ter will entertain fully 400 Method
ist ministers and laymen while the
conference Is in session.
The Rev. J. w. Kilgo, D. D., presid-
ing elder of Columbia district, outlin-
ed some Of the work before the confer
ence as follows
Several questions are before this
session that will make it Of intense
interest to the church throughout
the state. OF course that of prime
importance to the individual church
is the appointment of its pastor.
Many will receive new pastors, many
more expect no change Of pastors.
That which %provokes more anxious
thought than any other questions that
will come before the conference con-
Germs the division Of the body. Though
a majority of those voting for d.
vision was given a year ago, yet the
affirmation was not a majority OF the
conference. 1t is generally under
stood that the laymen as a rule are
opposed to dividing. These facts rem
der it very doubtful that the confer
ence will be divided. Yet the ques-
ton must be decided in Sumter.
another matter of concern regards
the church organ, The Southern
Christian Advocate. The Rev. S. A.
Netles, who has edited and publish
ed the paper for nine years, has re-
signed both as editor and as pub
Usher. Those who opposed the pres
ent plan of bringing out the paper
necessitating a change will nc doubt
have a better plan to suggest. Any
way the church will expect them to
do. so. To repeat, it is a matter OF
great importance to the church."

Usee Sand to Clean Bottles.

A Swiss inventor makes use Of
sand and water to clean bottles in
which there has been a deposit and
which defy the ordinary brush to
reach. Such bottles are often dis
carded because of the impossibility
of removing this matter. The new in
vention is supplied with the shape
of a rather large metal basin with a
middle upright tube. Sand is put in
the basin and a hose connects with
the water supply. A simple arrange
ment allows Of projecting sand and
