Tho figures are almost Identical with
those of four years ago, when a SINH

Paragraph 271 OF the discipline,
which is the basic law Of the church.
was enacted In 1872. and has remained
virtually without change. 1t has been
urged that rhis section is never en-
forced. and that the specific warning
which is given in another part Of the

The balance OF voting power was
held to-day by the eighty or more rep
resentattves of negro conferences, who
threw their support almost solidly
against any change. The foreign dele
gates were about equally divided.
Every member was placed on record
individually.
The conference shut off all debate
by deciding 70 proceed with the voting

The conference voted not TO elect a

The regular term of court will con-
vene the following week. One OF the
Nrst cases TO be tried involves some
unusual features.
In controversy between Mrs. Emma
Manuel and Mrs. Emma Akers, land
owners. on the one part. and the Board
of Supervisors and their road super
intendent. Palmer Smith. on the other.
the Circuit Court held that the board
was not liable for trcspass committed
by Mr. Smith in destroying certain Of
claimants property, which he claimed
was destroyed In good faith and by
order of the Board Of Supervisors but
that Smith was liable personally. Upon
an appeal from this decree by the
board and Smith. the Supreme Court
Of the state sustained the lower court.
but increased the amount of damages
against Smith.
An execution was issued against
Smith. pursuant to the decree Of the
Supreme Court. The Board Of Super
visors then passed an order, reciting
among other things that lit would be
an unjust burden to cause said Smith,
superintendent. to pay the Judgment
Of said Court OF Appeals in said cause
and directed that the Judgment be paid
out OF the county fund.
a number of taxpayers required the
attorney for the Commonwealth to ap-
peal from this order. and the appeal
was duly noted. This appeal will come
up for a hearing a the next term OF
court, with tho right Of appeal TO each
party to the Supreme Court of the
state.

EYES TOO MUCH NEGLECTED.
Residents of Cities, In the Aggregate,
Are the Chief Offenders, for
Various Reasons.

The farmer at work in his fields all
day long has much better eyesight
than the city resident. Farmers, as q
rule. have no need Of artificial aid to
the eyes until old ago comes upon
them.
On the farm tho eyes receive more
rest than IN tho city, because they
work at moro natural angles. The
farmers work is noe right up under
his nose. In cases Of most city rco-
pie their work Is over books or ma.
chimes, and they have habit Of stoop-
ing over it.
This affects the eyes so that glasses
are necessary for relief. Ninc-tenths
OF the people who are suffering from
headaches and who wonder what the
trouble is can blame them on tho treat.
ment they give their eyes. Not enough
city people wear glasses. Perhaps ono
III fifty wears glasses whore tho ay-
eragc should be about one iii every ten.
Children arc affected in this way.
Most children lean over their desks
ana have their eyes close 10 their
books. Teachers should prevent them
from doing this. Where children are
forced to wear glasses it is not nccos.
sary that they should have to wear
them all the time. When the children
are at play they ought in most cases.
to be allowed to GO without their
glasses.
