Davis, M. A. Griggs, Edgar Scarbo-
TO and c. NJ. Head attended the list
quarterly conference of the Eliza
beth charge for the new conference
year which was held at Bold Springs
last Sunday. A fine showing was
made and with Rev. J. p Erwin, our
new presiding elder, in the chair,
everything looks very promising for
a great year.
Rev. b. f. PIN, the new pastor,
has made new record for PASTORAL
work, having made the every-mem-
Der canvass of three of his churches
in the first two weeks of his pas
torate. He is making friends by
the score and we predict for him a
great future. He is the best com
bination that we have ever known,
having been converted in a Baptist
meeting, educated in a Presbyterian
school and then made a Methodist
preacher.

We are glad we are true South
erners in many respects but we
would do we'll to emulate many ex-
amples of the Yankees, for instance
in the Northern states Christmas is
held much more sacred than IL is
in the south. Drinking, hunting,
rowdying, making fireworks and
noise of all kinds is not only pro-
hibited but hardly thought of
at Christmas times, but everything
and everybody is turned loose on the
4th of July to have a genera jubi-
lee.
The high price Of cotton and di-
versified farming has made some OF

has bought farm near Orange
Hill Church and IS building a nice
dwelling on it. Mr. George Tinsley
has bought his fathers old home

 LIVES ARE LOST.
ASHEVILLE WAS HARD HIT
Houses, Bridges and Railway Tracks in Five States Have Been Washed Away-FIood Waters Are Reced-
 ing-Relief Work Is Begun

Raleigh, N. C.-Flood waters which swept parts of North Carolina. South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West Virginia taking toll of at least nine lives, rendering hundreds of per sons homeless and doing property damage variously estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15.000,000 were reced- ing.
 The worst conditions obtained in western North Carolina, where the flood was described as the most dis astrous in the history of that section. Asheville and it's environs were the heaviest sufferers, but with train ser washouts, slides and lost bridges, telegraph service badly crippled and roads almost impossible, 1t probably will be several days before the full ex- tent of death and destruction will be determined
 Lower Asheville still was flooded by the high waters of the French Broad River. which went over it's banks, sweeping away mills and other manu- featuring plants and a number Of homes. Two deaths. occurred in the city proper, while six other persons were drowned in the town of Biltmore. to the east, and two score persons, in- cluding members of railway con- struction gang, who went down with a bridge, were listed as missing.
 Between Ashyille and Salisbury railroad bridges were washed out on the Catawba River and farther south along the same river railroad and l highway bridges were carried away and tracks were placed under water. Sawmills and other property, as we'll
 as livestock, suffered throughout this section.

VOTE ON REPEAL IF STATEWIDE ASSURED
PETITIONS CONTAIN 5000 MORE NAMES THAN ARE REQUIRED
 BY THE LAW.
EXPERTS EXAMINING LISTS
Majority of Votes on the One Subject Sufficient to Repeal law-It Is Said Liquor Men Are Planning
 For Thorough Organization.
Little Rock

LlJIIe ROCK
 Experts are now at work examining the various petitions filed with the secretary of state, seeking to repeal the statewide prohibition law enacted by the last Legislature. The list of signatures secured in each county is being made by the experts and sent to prominent prohibition leaders for yerification. As the list contains S. 900 more names than are necessary under the law, 1t is not believed that the investigation will affect the result. and it is practically conceded by all parties that the proposition will be on the official ballot to be used in the No vember election. The general belief that it will require a majority of all the votes cast at the election to insure the adoption of the repeal measure Is erroneous. According to an opinion handed down by the Supreme Court several months ago, this rule applies to constitutional amendments only, and as the statewide prohibition pro. position seeks to repeal statute it will be only necessary for it to secure the majority of all the votes cast on that particular subject It was stated that the liquor people will shortly be gin to make a thorough organization of the entire state, with managers 1T each county and their generalt head quarters in Little Rock It is not ye known who will be in charge of th' headquarters. Ben L. Griffin ant Frank Witt were in charge of the pc tion circulation movement.

 Cigarette Smoking.
Little Rock

Little Rock The large number of reflections bv government medical experts will very likely result in the complete reorganl- zatfon of the two regiments of the Arkansas National Guard into one reg iment. It was stated at the fort that the large number of failures to pass the physical examination will deplete the ranks to such an extent that not more than one regiment will be left after all the rejections are announced. la addition to the large number of privates rejected, 19 commissioned of ficers, including several captains ana two majors, failed to pass the physi- cal examinations.
 Officers at the fort stated that the principal cause of so many rejections was due to the excessive use of ci. garettes. They said that more than 200 privates failed to pass the physi- cal examination on account of cigar cite smoking
 Nothing definite has yet been given out as to when the Arkansas National Guard will be ordered to the border.

Publication of the proposed amend. ments to the constitution and the in. itiated acts to be submitted at the gen initiative and referendum, will cost only approximately one-third as much this year as 8 similar publication cost in 1914. The saving is due to Act No. 3, the publicity act, initiated in 1914.
 In 1914 the initiated acts and amend ments amounted to seven columns and their publication cost approximate ly S611.50 per county, or approximate ly $46,000 for the entire state. This year the amendments alone will make seven columns and their publication will cost the state S20O per county, or S15000 for the entire state The acts to be submitted this year amount to approximately four columns and will cost SIP per county, or S8,402 for the entire state.
 The publication of the II columns this year will cost s23,502, a little more than half the amount required in 1914 for the publication of seven columns. The publicity act reduced the time of publication from six weeks to four weeks and cut the price from S1 per square to $50 per square in all papers, except those having guarap- teed circulation of more than 5000 copies There are only four newspa, pers in the state having a circulation larger than 5000 copies.
