An Ideal Woman's Medicine. So says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of 325 So. College St., Nashville, Tenn., of Lydia E. PinkhanVs Vegetable Compound. Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that at tained bv Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never during- the lifetime of this wonderful medicine has the demand for it been so great as it is to-da-. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and throughout the length and breadth of this great continent come the glad tidings of woman's sufferings relieved by it, and thousands upon thousands of letters are pouring in from grateful women saying that Jt will and posi tively does cure the worst forms of female complaints. Mrs. Piiikham invites all wo men who are puzzled about their health to write her at l,ynn, Mass., for advice. Such corre spondence is seen by women only, and no charge is made. Personals.

Sheriff Lee has again returned from a fruitless search for W. M. L. Creas man, who is wanted for criminal as sault. This time Sheriff Lee went far into the southwestern part of the state He stated that rumor had reached him that Creasman had been seen in that country but although he traced up ev ery clue and .explored the country thor ousrhly he met with no success. The case is evidently puzzling the officers and many comonentsi are heard on the strangeness of a man like Creasman eluding the offlaers so successfully. The sheriff says that Creasman escaped while everyone thought he was at the home of h.is brother and has had am ple time to" leave the state. It is more probable, however, he adds,, that the fugitive will attempt to seclufle himself in some of the mountainous counties near here and says that he is confident that he will be caught. When pressed as to whether or not he has any in formation now in his hands he refused Lto answer, but said that-he would cer tainly be caught. ECHOES OF THE CONFERENCE Statistical Report Conditions of the Conference Schools The Charge Against Two Min ister's Charactsrs Correspondence of the Gazette. Monroe, Nov. 25. Yesterday, the closing day of theW. N. C. conference, was full of interest. When A. W. Jacobs, who has been serving the Cherokee mission, made his report, D. Atkins made a motion that the board of missions increase the domestic mission assessment from $8000 to $10,000. W. W. Bays, J. R. Scroggs and J. E. Thompson opposed the motion on the ground that the conference is ad vancing along fhe line of liberality to the cause of foreign and domestic mis sions and that it would be unwise to suddenly increase the assessment to domestic missions. J. R. Brooks moved to amend the resolution by substituting $9000 for $10,000 and this amendment ! was accepted and was adopted by the conference. The matter will go before the board of missions for consideration. and, and when the board reports the conference will act finally on the reso lution. Stated briefly, the charge against Rev. A. A. Crater was simply that he had recklessly contracted debts without any prospect of being able to pay them. There was considerable discussion with regard to his case and what disposition the -conference should make. Some fav ored the trial of the case in the de fendant's absence and making final dis position at this session of the confer ence. Others favored leaving the case in the hands of the committee of in- vestigation. Bishop Smith stated that it would not be fair to the defendant to try the case without making furthei effort to have him make a defense, and being suspended from the ministry dur in this time Finally, on motion of Atk,nSf the cage wag referred to the presiding elder of the defendant, Rev j, R- Seroggs. the first charge against the defendant having been made while was within the Greensboro district In addition to the interest which the Western North Carolina conference has in mnity College, it' owns four other I spools. Rutherford College is located in Burke county and is -well known as tne school the late Kev. K. L. Aberne- th' conducted for so many years. The coll?ge has -been the property of the ffinrpreripp fnp cwwq 1 von ra onrt it Viae ! ment for the past two and one-half years, and the ipatronage is steadily growing. During the present year 152 students have already enrolled, and others will enter before the holidays. 'The faculty is composed almost entirely of young men, all of whom are repre- I sentatives of the leading institutions of, learning in the churfch, and are doing faithful work. This school does thor- ouh Preparatory work and fits the student body well for college. If there were a sufficient number of dormitories on the ground it is probable that 250 students would be enrolled before the close of another, year. The healthy lo cation of the college is largely in its favor and at the present time there are students from three states in at tendance. The president, Rev. C. C. weaver:, and Rev. J. T. Erwin, pro fessor of mathematics are members ot the conference. Weaverville college is in the twenty- ninth year of its history and the second year under the present management Prof. J. M. Robeson is president of the college, and in the faculty there are Ave members. There are at present 120 students doing regular work at the col lege and the outlook for increased pat ronage is good. Weaverville is eight miles from Ashe ville and the college com-munity is well known and is growing. Representatives of this college after completing the course of study are found in other schools of higher curriculum and give evidence of thorough preparation and reflect -credit upon the school Davenport college, at Lenoir, is the only female college owned by the con ference and it is growing in ponular- ity. As before stated, Rev. R. C. Craven is the president and there are at pres ent 207 pupils enrolled. The curriculum has- been raised and is now equal to that of most colleges for young women in the South Brevard Industrial school has done mu-ch for the poor boys and girls of the conference, especially for those in the mountain districts. Mr. Fitch Taylor and hisi wife have done a noble work there for several years and they hope to he able to reopen the school in De cember. Money is much needed to fur ther equip the school and pay the sal aries of the teachers The statistical report was submitted and the following figures are of special interest: Local preachers, 183; mem bers, 74,799; infants baptized, 1,095; adults, 2013; Epworth Leagues, 104 members, 3,896; Sunday schools, 73fi; teachers, 4,896; Sunday school scholars, d1,808; superanuated fund paid. $4,- 682.03; contributed to foreign missions, $14,071.66; domestic missions, $7,459.64: to church extension, $2,696.14; to Ameri can Bible society, $496.5?- contributed to support of presiding elders, $12,323.88; to preachers in charge, $93,703.88; to sup port of bishops, $1,762.45; number of so cieties, 829; number of pastoral charges, 199; parsonages, 144; number of dis tricts, 11; number of district parson ages, 7; number f houses of worship, 728. The committee in the trial of Rev. J. A Clark reported taht the committee found the first charge, that of immoral ity, untrue, but found the second charge, that of imprudence, true, and recommended that the defendant be reprimanded in open conference. Bish op Smith asked Mr. Clark to rise and he did so. Then in the spirit of most brotherly kindness Bishop Smith told him what a painful ordeal this was for both, and then expressed his joy that the charge sustained was-an error of head and not of heart. He then urged him to profit by this sad experience and ll'lli - -T i. S A. J prove to the conference and the world his determination to live right in the future by his daily conduct. On motion of J. R. Scroggs, S. P. Douglass was located on the ground of unaoceptability. Mr. Douglass did not request the location, but made no re rvtorw n th conference. On motion of W. W.
