Sheriff Conaway announced this to

bank throughout the county will re,

Instructions have been received by
Sheriff Conaway from the State tax
commissioner, Fred o. Blue, as 10 the
method of procedure necessary to be
followed In changing from the old
manner of handling the county funds
to the new. Under the new plan the
sheriff will pay all bills allowed by the
court and other authorized officials by
check instead Of the orders that are
now used. Under the present plan
the orders are usually cashed at the
banks and perhaps each two weeks
or other interval are returned by the
banks to the sheriff who then deposits
balance with the bank sufficient to
cover the total. Under the new plan
the orders or checks will be drawn
on an existing fund IN the banks that

1t will likely require q month or
more for the new system to be tried
before the amount Of the average sum
saved tn tho county by the three per

Twenty-Fifth Annual Gath
; ering of Society in Full
Swing.
INSPIRING ADDRESSES
Tonight the Experts Will
Banquet at the
Y. M. c. A.

The Silver Jubilee convention of
the West Virginia Christian Endeav-
or Society is now in full swing, and
indications point to the most sue
cessful convention in the history of
the organization.
The opening session was held last
evening at the NJ. P. Temple and was
largely attended by delegates, vlsi-
tors and a representative gathering
of local Endeavorers and their
friends.
The feature of the opening session
was the inspiring address OF Karl
Lehman, all southern secretary Of
Endeayor societies of the south, who
is well and favorably known in this
city, where he has lectured on yarl-
GUS occasions. Mr.. Lehman is an
enthusiastic speaker and carries his
audience with him throughout his
address. His subject was THE Real
Christian Endeavorer" and he drew
realistic picture of his ideas con-
cerning the real Endeayorer.
The session was opened last night
with a spirited song service. conduct
ed by Prof. Ralph E. Mitchell, a
chorister than whom there are none
better. Mr.. Mitchell Is quite q .fav-
orite with tFairmont people, he haY-
Ing spent several weeks here as Choir
ister with the Lyon Evangelistic par
ty several years ago. Under Mr..
Mitchell's leadership the chorus
choir rapidly took up the refrains
and song after song was waited from
the throats Of the singers under his
efficient leadership.
The welcoming address was deliv-
cred by Mrs. Robert c. Jones, who
for many years was the leader Of the
Junior Endeavorers OF this city. She
made pleasing talk, and the re-
sponse was made by Rev. George w.
Pollock, pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Buckhannon.
Following the program, the dele
gates and visitors were entertained
in the social rooms of the church
with an informal reception. Brick
ice cream and cake were served by
the younger Christian Endeavorers,
who wore the colors, red and white,
of the organization. i :,
Delegates are here in large num-
bers. representing Huntington, Par
kersburg, Charleston, Clarksburg,
Bluefeld, Martinsburg. Wheeling
and intermediate points.
President Louis E. Black, of Par
kersburg, is here and is presiding
over the sessions.
A splendid song service featured
the morning session today Of the
convention, with Prof. Ralph E.
Mitchell leading a general chorus.
The ,Endeavorers entered with spirit
into the singing and some solo work
by Prof. Mitchell was heartily enjoy
ed.
One OF the enjoyable features OF
the morning session was the Bible
study hour, conducted by Rev. Ed
ward Bates Turner. Rev. Mr.. Tur-
ner is well and fayorably known In
this city, having conducted Bible
study class in this city few years
ago. The delegates with pencil and
note book followed closely the les
son from the fifth chapter of Mat
thew, as taught by Mr.. Turner and
cleaned many practical ideas from
the lesson. Thursday morning Mr..
Turner will teach another class from
some chapter Of the Bible.
Following Mr.. Turner'S Bible les
son. music was furnished by Prof.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York May 2.-(SpeciaI) )-Ezrs Shelton, who tells me he lives in the southern part of Alabama, and not in any city. has discovered something in New York city of which I had heretofore seen nothing and heard no mention. There s something about that first name of Mir. Shelton which convinced be he was telling the truth when he announced himself as a farmer, and his subsequent discovery here, absolutely shattered all shade of doubt
 We were walking leisurely Couldn't get any speed out of him, somehow through the bit. of green that clusters about the center of Madison Square. There was the usual number of indolent gentlemen seat ed upon the benches, and, to me, the scene looked about as usual, but suddenly MT. shelton seemed to take interest in some thing I did not get
 Did you hear that?" he asked.
 I had not heard it, but he straightway enlightened me-he had distinctly heard the notes of a white-throated sparrow. We investiga ted, and sure enough discov- cred several of them, mingling democrat ically with their less appealing cousins, the ordinary English sparroWs.
 But this was not all-the investigation started, MT. Shelton looked about some
