Dear NJ. B. Friends:

be denied. We ''get in the habit" OF do
ing our work in q certain way, and (aiasi)
we are sometimes annoyed when others do
the same kind of work In different way,
although the result may be the safne. Es-
peciaily 10 this true when we are Obliged
to have others do our work for as. A
great deal OF fret and worry and fault
finding would be saved II persons waited
for results and ignored methods.
There are habits OF speech as well as OF
work. Many, who in childhood and early
youth, were accust omed to hear and use
peculiar pbras~s or incorrect English. find
. handicap in later life because they have
to guard against the use OF expressions
which they found were not in good taste
or good form. Teachers can testify to the
difference in the language of pupils who
are in the same classes, and some OF these
teachers have been discouraged and
groaned in spirit, because II seemed inn
possible to break up the habit ~ith some
scholars OF using had grammar; forget
ting that one hour q day spent in .
language lesson could scarcely be ex-
pected to correct the careless speech to
which the child had been accustomed
since its infancy. Nevert heless, there
is but ons thing to do, and that is to help
the pupil to overcome the habit, and not
consider the teacher rs unfaithfui in her
duty II her or his efforts are not entirely
successful.
Then there are habits OF manners, and
possibly these form the strongest bonds
OF any. There 10 NO use in denying this,
for We all have them good or bad or
mixed.
To come back to the subject OF our
poem. Habit breaking il much harder
than habit making, for the reason that
habits are formed unconsiously, while to
change practiced course in life involves
. constant care and watchfulness in that
line, at least for long time.
There 10 one thing about this matter OF
habit that appeals to many OF us. Lots OF
things mot quite enjoyable and not alto
gether agreeable in getting along With
people are excused and overlooked with
the expression, ut Is just habit OF his,
or, at is just her way
So, after all, disagreeable habits give
persons an opportunity toexercise charity,
and good habits are to be appreciated and
cop;eo IL they are some ve have not vat
acuuired.

HOSPITAL BENEFIT
A SUCCESS

The two operettas, "The Isle Of
Jewels" and "a Night in Flowerland,"
given by students of the High school
and Furlow Grammar school las ben
eft fer the Hospital association were
both brilliant successes last evening.
The Opera House was crowded and a
neat sum was realized for the asso-
citation.
The isle of Jewels" as presented
by the High school seniors was even
better than when they first gave the
operetta a week ago during their
commencement. The talented young
members of the cast played their
parts we'll. The dancing of the cho,
rus and of Miss Britton were pretty
features.
The operetta, "a Night in Flower
land" given by the members Of
the graduating class of the Grammar
school, made a decided hit with the
large audience. The future bellies and
beaux of Americas acted their parts
like veterans. The entire production
was Of high class variety. Graceful
dancing by the chorus combined with
tuneful melodies we'll sung, made the
play success.

ers having to advance the money to
pay these taxes.
We also recommend that owing to
the number of bank failures through
out the state, that our representatives
be requested and urged to look into,
and if possible, have law passed re-
curing all banks doing business in
this state, to procure sufficient bond
in order to protect their depositors.
We understand that other states are
doing this.
We also recommend that our repre-
sentatives be requested to introduce
and try to have passed through the
legislature such law as will enable
felony prisoners to plead guilty and
their case disposed of at any time
court is not in session.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the Daily AMI
Weekly Times-Recorder and in the
Weekly South Georgia Progress, at
prices agreed upon last Grand Jury.
That our stenographer, Miss Alice
Nall, be paid for transcribing these
Dresentments.

We respectfully recommend that the
County Commissioners call attention

this fact, and when and wherever he
notices that the roads are being dam
aged in this way he proceed to re-
port same to the Board of County

they make cases against the guilty

We also respectfully recommend that

specifically true in the almost univer.
sal custom of splitting recklessly and
needlessly on the floors and walls OF
the rooms. We recommend that num-
erous placards be printed and posted
in conspicuous places in every room
ard corridor of the building, positive
ly prohibiting splitting on the floors
and in the corners and on walls of the
buildings. This has been recommend
ed by previous Grand Juries and moth
ing has come of it. Yet it is one of
the disgraces of our county that it
should be allowed. If possible, a fine
should be imposed where these in
structions are not carried out. In this
connection, we urge that more GUS
pidors be provided in all jury rooms
The toilets or waterclosets, need
thorough cleaning with acids that can
be bought cheaply at any drug store,
We urgently request that above
sanitary measures be carried out, in
the interest of public health and de-
cency.

OVER -FOUR HUNDRED
METHOOISTS COMING
Arrangements Have Been Made For
Entertaining Visiting Delegates
But Homes For Thirty Eight
Are Still Needed.
Wilmington Starr

With but ten days before the lStn
annual session Of the North Carolina
rethodtst. Conference meets in Grace
church. Rev. J. D. Bundy, who will be
tie conference host, stated last night
that homes for 50 delegates were still
needed. There are 392 members of the
conference, including 235 ministers, and
homes viii be provided Tor all these.
II addition TO the regular members Of
the conference. there will be mum
Der Of additional visitors, making
total of Ger 400, who viii be in the
city from Wednesday. December 1st,
when the conGerence begins, until the
following Monday,
1t has been g years since the Meth
odist Conference met IN Wilmington
but this is NOT taken TO be an unlucky
number in this instance. The confer
ence has met in Wilmington at inter
walls Of about ten years ever since it
was organized - years ago.
Bishop John c. kiIgo. of Charlotte,
recognized as perhaps the most eIo-
quent and forceful Methodist minister
IN the South today. VIII preside over
tie sessions O. the conference,
Although a native o. South Carolina,
he has lived in this State SO long as to
be entitled to being known as from
North Carolina. He has spoken in
Wilmington on serer1 occasions and
has many friends here.
Rev. r. H. Willis, of Littleton, is
secretary of the conference. He was
elected to this position in 1911, sue
ceeding the late Iauented Rev W. L.
Cunningim. BY a long established
custom. the position of secretary is
usually held by the same man after
his election as long as he is actively
connected with the conference.
There have been several prominent
ministers Of the conference who have
passed away during the past year. in
cluding Rev, J. n. Cole. for many
years the able superintendent of the
Methodist orphauage n Raleigh; Rev
L. P. Howard. pastor Of the Duke Me,
mortal in Durham: Rev. J NJ. Ashby
pastor of the church at Elm City, am
Rev Y. {. Wright, pastor OF the Farm
vile circuit
There are 1877 pastoral charges in
cIuded within the conference witt
houses of worship, valued at $2,511,
653. There are nine districts, each o
which has presiding elder. Their
are 17S parsonaees, valued at NOR
than $450000 The total number 0
members Of churches is $4,000.
According to the laws OF the Metho
dist church. all pastors are require
to be changed after serving four years
There are not as many this year a
usual, the number being only about 2
whose pastorates have extended .ove
a period of four years. However, an
pastor may be changed to another az
pointment and it is likely that ther
will be quite number Of changes
addition to those who have served fou
years. The appointments, which al
made by the presiding bishop with til
aid and assistance Of the presidin
elders are always one Of the most il
teresting features of the conference.
There are only two pastors in ii
Wilmington diltr;ct who have serve
four years as pastors on the charg'
they are now serving, these being Re
c. NJ. Lance, Of Southport, and Rev.
P. Pate, Of Whiteville.
