HISTORY OF THE METHODIST
CHURCH IN KENTUCKY

The historian informs us that the
FIRST Methodist society in the Dis
trict OF Kentucky was organized in
1893 by Francis Clark, a local
preacher who emigrated from vir-
ginia to Kentucky during that year
and settled in Mercer County. He
organized the class at a point about
six miles west Of Danville." In the
year 1885 the first regularly appoint
ed ministers OF the Methodist Epis-
copal Church entered Kentucky,
James Haw and Benjamin Ogden
we're the men and they we're ap-
pointed by Bishop Asbury.
The first Methodist Conference
held within the bounds of Kentucky
was held at Masterson's Station
near Lexington in the spring of the
year 1890. For this conference
Bishop Asbury crossed the Allegheny
Mountains on horseback protected
by an armed escort Six preachers
assembled and under the presidency
of Bishop Asbury the conference
proceeded. The names of these pio-
neers in this first conference must
never be forgotten. They are as fol-
lows: Francis Poythress, James
Haw, Wilson Lee, Stephen Brooks,
Barnabas McHenery, Peter Massie.
At this conference the question of
education was discussed and three
hundred pounds was raised with
which to establish an academy. The
school building was soon erected and
the institution became known as
Bethel Academy in Jessamine county
Kentucky.
Two great Districts were organiz-
ed in Kentucky in 1887: Cumber-
land District, which embraced Mid
die Tennessee and Southern and
some of Southeastern Kentucky in
what is now Barbourville
and beyond into the mountain re-
gions of Bell and Harlan Counties;
the other District was known as the
Kentucky District and embraced all
the territory of Kentucky not in
cluded in the Cumberland District.
Goose Greek and Richland appear
It is believed, for the first time in
Methodist records for the year 1911
and 1t is inferred that Barbourville
was included in this circuit tho all
this territory may have been includ-
ed in the earlier circuits. 1t GER
tainly was in the Cumberland Dis
trict.
The year 1912 saw the division of
he great and historic Western Con-
terence, of which Kentucky had
been a part. into the Ohio and Ten
1essee Conferences and the terri
.ory of Kentucky was divided be-
.ween the two above named confer
snees.
In 1921 the Kentucky Conference
was organized and its first session
vas held In Lexingtin. Bishop George
Ind Bishop Roberts were both pre-
sent and presided alternately. At
his conference 1t was decided that
IN Institution or higher learning
should be established and Augusta
College came into being 1914 saw
the great division" resulting in the
of the Methodist Epis-
opal Church South in 1S45. For
he next twenty years the work of
he Kentucky Conference was great
y retarded.
1886 saw the birth of Union Col
ege, Barbourville. Ky. With the
history of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Kentucky 1t is
presumed all are familiar.

THE GENERAL WRITES

Doubtless before reaching page
four of this peerless periodical, the
kind, gentle, long-suffering reader
perused the front page. where are
chronicled all the important and
thrilling happenings of the week gone
by, and there read two letters from
our friend, Ex-Governor Albert w.
Gilchrist, who ownI certain water
front property in Punta Gorda, re-
sides in Waycross, Georgia, and has
his legal residence at Punta Gorda.
Doubtless the patient and long-suf-
fering reader struggled through the
two epistles. which are printed as
near as possible verbatim, the editor
having no time this week to spend IN
editing them, and the contents were
probably noted and digested.

CLIPPED COMMENT

DR.. Knapp told the range cattle
men some real truths about tick
eradication at the convention at
Gainesville. If they don't eradicate
the tick, they'll find before long that
they cannot buy anything on tick,
even if they are cattle "barons. 1"
They'll become cattle barren" unless
they turn over new leaf and catch
up with the procession. And. when
we write such things as this, please
don't get the idea that we hold a
personal grudge against the man who
free ranges his cattle. We have a
lot of personal friends among cattle
men and we argue with them exactly
as we write You don't have to hate
a man to disagree with im.--Lees-

WIRELESS FAKIRS NEXT

Watch out for the wireless fakirs.
The new generation, since the scanda
lous stock jobbing operations that
marked the advent of the Marconi
wireless telegraph concern in which
thousands of widows and other poor
folk were robbed of their life savings,
should read a little history. The pub
lie is of short memory. 1t Will not
be long before the stock jObbers will
be at work offering all kinds of allur-
ing propositions identified with the
manufacture and operation of wire
less telephone outfits. Then danger
of being swindled in these highly
speculative enterprises is in proper
ton to the opportunity for profit, and
so a double warning is necessary, be-
cause the wireless telephone business
is destined to stagger the imagination
before many years have passed. When
the thousand per cent per day pro-
posals reach this town, let those with
loose change be cautious. Cupidity
is a dangerous leader. Follow old
General Conservatism and be safe.

South Florida Wins.

SO far as the state road depart
ment's chairman is concerned, there
will be no more appropriations for
road purposes in the state by the de-
partment until a meeting has been
held in Tampa and the people of this
section given opportunity to show
what they want That is all the peo-
pie of peninsular Florida have been
demanding.
A letter to Chairman d. B. Mckay,
of the committee appointed by the
board of trade governors last week,
from Chairman Phillips s:.ys:
"If the representative of South
Florida on the board will back me up
and l can get one other member to
back me up, there will be no further
appropriations of money by this de-
partment until after we have held a
meeting in Mr.. Clark's district and
heard what you people have to say" ="
There is not the least doubt that
the chairman will be backed up. by
Mr.. Clark, of this district. That Mr.
Schilling, of Miami, will also add his
approval and demand seems little
short of positive, knowing the inter
est his district has in this meeting.

ready for the Tampa meeting. The

burning Over the Woods

The practice of burning over the
woods for the sake of securing a sup
ply Of fresh young grass for range
cattle not only destroys the humus
in the soil and thus in time defeats
its own object by starving out the
grass or destroying its succulence but
il also affects the timber and naval
stores industries. 1t is making poor
er, year by year, the soil on which
il is practiced. Two representatives
of the United States forest service
after survey of the timber resources
of Duval county, find that the stands
of second growth timber are scant,
some very much so. Nature at
tempts to repair the ravages of way
ward man, but the latter can in a
few hours destroy what she has been
several years in constructing. The
young saplings cannot survive two
or three annual burnings, sometimes
not one.
Florida has so many natural ad-
vantages that one is disposed to Won /
der at first glance that she has been |
so slow in developing her natural
wealth until one takes into consider
alton the spirit that resists tick
eradication and insists upon burning
over the forest floor for the sake of
! fresh pasturage for herds of half
wild. stunted tck-bitten cattle for
which there will soon be absolutely
no market anywhere.
Efforts to reforest the state, or
even to conserve what wealth the
state has left in forests, will be ham
