The feature of the third day's ses-1
sion of the North Carolina Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal i
Church. South, meeting In First
Church, this cltv. was the address of
Bishop Collins Denny to the class of (
young men who were received into
the full connection.
The class of four young men was j
received Into full connection.
Many items of business were j
transacted by the Conference.
Five old ministers have been su-J
perannuated during this session of
Conference, and it was ordered Fri-j
day morning that a special offering'
bo made for the assistance of these
brethren at the Methodist churches
on Sunday morning.
Bishop Collins Denny was re-1
quested by a vote of Conference to \
explain the plan of union with the I
Methodist Episcopal Church at his
convenience during the present ses-1
sion.
What Budget Means
Bishop Denny told the Conference j
that the budget system means that!
every interest of the church shares I
on a percentage basis. "The laymen
should not force." said the Bishop,
"the preachers to attend to the bus
iness matter of the church, but if j
they will not do it. then the preach-1
era must do it."
Conference was called to order at
H o'clock by Bishop Denny with Rev.
J. I.. Smith leading In the devotional
exercises.
On motion of Tier. J. T. Gibbs Bl-1
shop Denny was directed to draw on
t!ie Hoard of Conference Trustees;
for $SS2.6.1, to be turned over
to the Board of Finance to be used
for the superannuate preachers.
The resolution of Rev. J. C. Woot- 1
eu, which was on yesterday, referred
to the Conference Board of Trustees
relative to uslnu funds in the hands
of the trustees for an emergency re
lief for the superannuate preachers.,
was reported to the Conference today
with the statement that the Board
of Trustees could not legally use the ,
funds which they held In trust for1
any other purpose than that which ,
ha*i been directed by the donors of
the fund. The report_was adopted
by the Conference.
I*antor From Sotffh Carolina .
Rev. F. A. Lupton was received as ^
a transfer from the South Carolina
Conference.
The class of the second year was
called and John Cleveland Cum
mlnus. Lindsay Frar.ier, Kenneth St.
Leon Cook, and Martin Reed Cham
bers made their reports. Their char
acters were passed an dot hey were ad
vanced to the class of the third year.
When the name of Rev. K. S. L.
Cook was called, in making his re
port. stated that th?- pastor's salary
was paid in full, but that some of the
?4>. M.-volent collections were not iu j
full. It was ascertained that his
people used the budget system. Bish
op Denny addressed the Conference.
Mating that the salary of the presid
ing elders and preacher in charge
stood on the same footing of all the
other collections, and that there
must be a division on the percentage
basis.
One Interesting feature of thinscr
slon of Conference, Is t!??? fact that
a detail of Hoy Scouts serves the
Conference In the capacity of paces.
They stand ready to do the bidding
of the Conference or any member of
it nt any time. This inorninu the
bishop introduced the Iloy Scouts,
who were to serve today, nnd stated
that he was always for the Scouts,
that his son wns the first Eagle
Scout in the State of Virginia.
An Impressive Scene
At ft: 30 Ilishop Denny called tHe
cla*a of young men around the altar
ivi..? wre to he received Into full
connection, and deliverer to them n
very strong and helpful address.
"There could hardly bo a more sol
emn hour to you nnd to us," said
th. bishop, "than this.
"We sonletlmes think that we
live In n great age In the history of
the world, and that we know a great
deal and achieve muth, tint I do not
know of a generation which made a
more complete failure than we have.
It Is a solemn hour to us when we
look back and realise how little we
have done.
"It Is a solemn hour to you?you
.ire standing In a most critical mo
ment. You are not to be the same
any more. The world will not un
it' rstand you. When a political
question Is before the public, a mer
rl ant, hanker, lawy< r or anybody
. Ise except a preacher, may enter In
to the discussion of that question,j
but the world will not allow you to
do so. If you enter that realm you
will be misunderstood.
"Somehow or other the preacher
l? a man of one purpose, and of one
work.
Xo Itoynl lload
"You cannot expect an easy (
course. If your Idea is to makei
money, you had better stop right
now The world m4?4?t excuse a
preacher for running ofT with anoth
. r man's wife, but It will not excuse
lilm from not paying his debts. You
are going to meet prejudices. If you
are starting out believing that you
are committing yourselves to mere
man. you are mistaken. You are
committing youreelf to the Lord. Put
TWO PRESIDENTIAL
BOOMS HESOl'NDINC
(Br The A?W> !*lr<J 'Pmil
Chicago, Nov. 16.?Two pp'sidrn
tial booms emanating from Chicago
are resounding throughout the coun
try today, with the formal announce
ment of Hiram Johnson of Califor
nia that he is in the contest for
nomination as Republican candidate,
and the endorsement from Omaha.
Nebraska, by William Gibbs McAdoo
of the statement Issued here by Da
vid Rockwell that supporters of the
former Treasury secretary intend to

tional Convention and elect him to
the Presidency.
your trust In Him though It may
seem hard at times, the things you
will be called upon to endure. It
may not have been pleasant for Paul
to be in jail at Philllpi, but he was
forced to endure It."
The bishop propounded the disci
plinary questions to the class. The
first one being "Have you faith in
Christ?"
A llnbel of Voice*
| " "There are jarring voices today in
I the world." said Illshop Denny. "So
many voices are calling you to
doubt, and though there has been no
|rift in the doctrines of the Methodist
'Church* it seems that then is on>
Ion the horizon. We hope there will
be no fight but if one comes we
-muM inert it.?Win n it fonn n it will
cluster around the personality of
Jesus Christ. We may as well close
our doors unless we have a Christ
who is the Son of God. My faith In
Virgin Qlrth of Christ and the Mir
acle of the Resurrection Is unshak
en. If you brethren are not in ac
cord with what we term Methodism,
stop where you are. There is no
place for you In the Methodist
Church unless yrni are in accord with
it. God has set a v? ry high aim for
us. a man with n low aim does not
get very far. I^t^your faith be
fixed in Jesus Christ as the Savior
of the world, and allow nothing to
shake that faith at any time."
Another question asked was "Are
you groaning after perfection?" The
bishop said that he believed in sanc
tificatlon. but not the kind that some
fanatics teach. "Some of these say
that they cannot repeat the Lord's
prayer because they have no tres
passes to be forgiven. I need all the
help of-God and man to assist me
in entering into a saved relationship
with God. If men loved one another
a great many of us would achieve
to higher experiences and the re
sult* of our efforts would be more
resultful."

Advises (Jirls Not
To Try the Movies
The exquisitely benutiful Marion
Mack, star of "Mary of the Movies,"
the story of nn ? xtra girl's rlne to
fame in pictures, playing at the Al
kratna thoitre tonight, advises the
girl ambitious for a screen career to
stay at home and advance in her own
special field instead of yrirln'?
md pining and wishing for the
wherewithal to take her to 11 oily
wood .
Said Miss Mack: "If you are "a
stenographer and have ambitions for
a screen career please, pli?ise forget
ihem! No matter how pretty you
ar? . no matter how talented your
home folks and your friends think
you are, do not take them too se
riously. Stay where you are. If
the girls in the small towns only
knew of the heart-breaking struggle {
for existence of th?- extra girl she
would be content with her home;
ainl her parents and her twentv-five
per. No matter how beautiful you
are. there is always the possibility
that you won't photograph well. I
have octually gone through every
incident, every experience portrayed
so graphically in "Mary of the
Movies."

North Carolina State played Mary-i
land first in football away back in
1908 when the latter institution was'
known as Maryland Agricultural!
College. The Tech team .was!
coached that year by Mickey-Wnite
hurst and it was captained by. Fat In
Stephens who played quarterback. I
The game was played in Raleigh and ?
State won an easy :15 to 0 victory,
but in thuft- epic days of Tech urid-j
Iron history, winning football games!
was Just about the easiest thing a
Tech team did.
From 1908 until 1917 no games)
were played, but In that year State,
under Harry Hartsell, played the
Marylanders In Washington. 1). C. I
Kach team scored a touchdown but I
pick Gurley broke a 7-7 deadlock by'
kickinu a lb-Id Kpal from the 45-yard'
line, giving the local collegians a lu
to 7 victory.
Then the war came along and dis-t
ruptetl football schedules while turn
ing the world topsy-turvy, nnd It was
not until 1921 that the teams met
auain. The series was then estab
lished on a "home and home" basis,
the games to..Alternate between Kld
dick Field-and a place to he desig
nated by the Maryland management,
eilh' r llDllrkT?Pnik.?HnlllmniT?ur.
Washington.
The 1921 game was played In Iial
tlniore and resulted In a fi-ti tie.
State scored a touchdown, but
"Hunt" Paucette failed to kick goal,
the only one he missed in three seas
ions, and Maryland knotted the count
with two field goals from the toe
of "Vntx" Brewer.
i Maryland won its first victory of
i the series last Thanksgiving Day
i when the game .was played at Kld
dick Field. Failure to add the ex
tra point after touchdown again
robbed State of a victory, and Bobby
Long was the offender on Ibis occa
sion. as his dropkick, following Tom
| my Park's touchdown, went wide of
the mark. State scored i" fOUT
rushes from the 15-yard line after
Joe Hippie had recovered a punt
which a Maryland bavk fumbled.
Maryland earned its touchdown on a
brilliant run of 60 yards by halfback
(Iroves after he had Intercepted a
Tecji forward pass.
The latter youngster Is still with
Maryland find Tie will l><- seen In ac
tion here Saturday. He has played
i great football this season and Is rat
ed as one of the best barks In the
Fast. He scored both of his team's
touchdowns against Yale.
Tech scouts who have followed
Maryland closely report that the ag
gregation is usually strong with a
dazzlin:; aerial attack that is spec
tacular in the extreme. The team
that licked Carolina and Pennsylva
nia and scored two touchdowns
avainst Yale, after marches of more
than 80 yards. Is certainly far above
the average for this section. New
Haven paicrs speak of It as "the
strongest team to appear in the Yale
Howl in the laft five years."
On the basis of prist performance,
of course, Maryland Is favored to
bent Slate, but the Pack has a habit
of turning at bay in the face of the
bitterest opposition and there are
nianv who believe that the game will
be closed than the "dope" .seems to
indicate.
The encounter will get under way
uromptly at 2:30.

Valuable Minerals.
Iron wood. Michigan, Nov. 16?On
the arm of the attorney general of
Michigan, the town of Hurley,
Wisconsin, notorious in its past, has
been ushered before the Supreme
ICourt of the United States.
Horn to notoriety in the days of
the north country's "rum rebellion."
Hurley, nevertheless, is desired by
I Michigan, with Wisconsin Just as
firm in fighting the attempt to_
i remove the town from its Jurisdic
tion.
Hurley is on the small strip of
land that Michigan claims as its
. own. despite the fact that tho land,
situated In the Iron and Vila*
countIch, has been Wisconsin terri
tory since 1836. Michigan's con
tention, as presented to the Su
I pre me Court in n bill of complaint.
Is that the 'boundary line between
Michigan and Wisconsin was estab
, llshed originally as "through the
middle of the main channel of the
Montreal river." Later it was dis
covered that the original sur
veys were Incorrect; that tho river
branched. MlVhignn nssertH that
the correct boundary is in the west
branch ??f ?h> river; Wisconsin, the
?ast branch.
The territorial acquisition that
would result to Michigan. If this
state's contentions are recognized by
the high court, would be small. In
