Methodist UNITY.

The recent conference of representatives
of the Northern and Southern branches of
the Methodist Episcopal church, held at Bal
timore, has not brought much strength to
the hope held by many members of both of
early reunion and strong, unified Metho-
dist church in the United States
1t does not surprise any one familiar with
the situation to hear that it is the negro
question which assumes problematic form.
That was to be expected. The Northern
Methodist church saw fit to accept negro
members, and to put negro preachers and
congregations under church control. These
are part and parcel of the Northern Meth
odist system. How a united Methodist church
could or would deal with this feature was
problem for the Southern conference OBJ
viously, it will be a grave problem (espe-
cially here in the South with a united
Methodism.
The Southern Methodist church has not
been fOrgetful of negro Methodists. 1t has
felt interested in their general and spiritual
welfare, but it has held the church could
best prosper under a church establishment
peculiarly their own. The negroes held a
like view, and the splendid success of the
African M. E. church has been the best evil
dence of the soundness of that theory. One
sees the proof all over the South, in the
growth Of that denomination it's resource
fitness and achievements. 1t has negro
bishops who command respect and conf
dence. 1t has an earnest pastorate and thou
sands of church edifces that do credit to the
negro race. The white Methodists of the
South were well content to let this whole
some condition persist, and wish their col
ored brethren Godspeed
1t would seem that if the Northern Metho-
dist church is earnestly DESTROYS of unity it
will find the true and safe means to that
end is in a policy that will give more and
more autonomy and discretion to negro com
municants, let the colored members work
out their religious destiny with or after the
manner of the A. NJ. E. church The atti-
tude of the Southern Methodists is entirely
consistent and above challenge on moral OF
material grounds.

The Pecan Industry.

Thousands of pecan trees will be planted
in this section within the next two or three
months, it is said. Already there are many
fine pecan orchards in Terrell county, and
the industry promises to play an important
part in the commercial prosperity of Daw-
son and surrounding territory. Some of the
neighboring counties have gone very much
further than Terrell in this direction, and
the result has been rich harvest in dollars
and cents.
The people, of course, have been forced
to the realization that their attention must
of necessity be turned to something other
than cotton alone, and the probable returns
from pecan orchards offer great incentive
to the upbuilding of this industry. There is
little prospect of its being overdone, for it
is said that many times the quantity of nuts
now being marketed could find ready con-
sumption. There is no doubt, however, that
there has been considerable exaggeration in
some quarters about the rich fortunes that
could be realized from the cultivation of pc
cans. Some people, no doubt have been
deluded into thinking they could acquire a
ten-acre pecan orchard, sit idly by and soon
have deluge of dollars pouring upon them.
1t is needless to say they have been sadly
disappointed.
The pecan industry is like everything else.
It requires much time and attention, and
necessitates good business methods to be
made profitable. 1t unquestionably offers
good opportunity for money-making if
pursued intelligently and industriously, and
it is very encouraging sign indeed to note
its development in Terrell county.
