n PR0CEEBIN6S OF GONFEREKCEr- What the Methodist Brethren Hare Been Doin&ia Hickory. A special to the Charlotte Observer gave Saturday's pro ceedings of the Conference as follows: Only one member of the conference has died during tne year, Kev. J S Nelson, who had been a minister of the Gospel for 54 years. His last pastorate was the BeN mont church in Charlotte and after retiring from active work he continued to live in Charlotte. The conference will hold a service in memory of Mr Nelson tomorrow af ternoon at 3 o'clock. The committee of trial in the case of Kev. C F Sherrill has made no report to the conference and it is thought by some members of the con ference that adjournment will be delayed on account of this trial. Rev. Gr H Detwilder is defending the accused, with Rev. T F Marr and Rev. H K Boyer to assist in the defense. Rev. J E Woosley and Rev. H F Chreitzberg are the pros ecutors. It is the opinion of some members of the confer ence that this case, will fur nish the ground for hard fought battle ot argument in the committee room. The re port of the committee is awaiting with special interest. This is the first time in the history of the conference when any charge affecting the moral character of a presiding elder has been preferred. Conference was called to order at 9 o'clock, Bishop At kins in the chair. Rev Z Paris conducted thn opening deno tional service, after which the minutes of the session -of yesterday were read, correct ed and approved . The vote taken for alter nate lay delegates to the gen eral conference at the close of se?siou of yesterday was an nounced and showed no elec tion. - Another ballot was taken resulting in the elec tion of J S Martin and H A Hayes. The vote taken for clerical delegates at the close of yes terday's session was also an nounced, and it likewise showed no election. The third ballot was cast, result ing in the election of Rev. J C Rowe with 115 votes; Rev. . H K Boyer with 108 votes, and Rev. G H Detwilder with 96 votes. The fourth ballot was cast and the result was the election of Rev. W. L. Sherrill with 101 votes. The first ballot for clerical alter nates resulted in the election of Rev. S. B. Turrentine, D. D. A second ballot was cast for alternates and before the tellers retired to count the votes a motion was passed that the two preachers reciv ing the three highest number of votes be declared clerical alternate delegates. Rev. W R Ware and Rev. R M Hoyle were elected on this ballot. Bishop Atkins called ques tions 17 and 18 and the char acters of th preacheis sus taining the supernumerary and superannuated relation were passed. Several of these were present and spoke to the conference. The - remarks of Rev. J W Wheeler, of Char lotte, heard with special in terest because of the fact that for the past several years he has been able to attend con feren only a few times. His remrrks were interesting and touching and showed his great pleasure at being pres ent to mingle again with his preacher associates. When three additional names were referred to the committee on conference re lations for the superannuated relation. Bishop Atkins urged the conference to establish an emergency fund from which to supply each preacher a certain amount of money upon the day that he super annuates, instead of compell ing each one to wait an entire year after retiring before he can receive any financial help whatever. T C Jordan made : a motion that 5 per cent, of the amount collected for con ference claimants be set aside for a superannuate emergen- cy fund, to be used as Bishop Atkins indicated, and the motion was carried. Bishop Atkins appointed Revs. J C Rowe, D Atkins and H K Boyer to constitute a committee to consider the " subject i of- securing homes ' for superannuated preachers Mil the different parts oithe ment of Rev. W M Bagley as the agent of this .enterprise, an enterprise in which he is thoroughly interested and in the interest of which be has done a good work already. J A Fry was recommended for local elders' orders and he was elected local elder. J S Martin, secretary of the joint board of finance, sub mitted the report of the board. Among the recom mendations of the board was one that the conference give $16,300 next year to the cause of foreign missions and an- other that $10,000 be given to conference claimants. The report of the commits tee in the trial of Rev. C F Sherrill was read by Rev. J B Carpenter, secretary of the committee. It was stated in this report that tjhe charge against Rev. Sherrill was im morality. The report stated further that after careful and prayful consideration, the committee begged to say that specification 1 of the charge was sustained, specification 2 of the charge was not sus tained, and specification 3 of the charge was sustained. Furthermore, the report stat ed that the committee did not sustain the charge of immor ality, but did sustain the charge of imprudence.

We don't think that staying op will matter much, if all could have their sweet hearts with them. The New Berne Journal scien tist gives this advance informa tion of the coming event: ''The moon will enter the earth's pe numbra at 1 12 a. m , eastern standard time, and wLl first reach the full shadow of the earth at 2.11 a. m.
