Home Anclcat History.
A matter of Interest In the history
of Southern Methodism Is thst the
first general conference of. the M. E.
Church. South, after the dlvUlon of
the church In 18V. waa held In
Washington Street Church. Peters
burg. Vs.. May 1-M. 1848. Bishops
Joshua Soule and Jaaaei Q, Andrew
presiding In turn over lu deUbers
tlons. At this conference a mission
ary society was organized and a mls
slon In China was projected. A com
mission consisting of H. B. Baerom.
A. ' L. P. Green and 8. A. Lotte was
appotntsd to meet with a like com
mission consisting of H. 'B. Bascom.
A. I* P. Green and S. -A. L/>tla was
appolated to meet with, a like com
mission of the Methodist Episcopal
Church to adjust a division of the
church property and certain funds
between the two churches. The pre
paration of ? hymn book for general
church use waa ordered. Kev. Levied
Pierce, of Georgia, waa aeleeted fra
ternal ramtl to the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Ber. William Copers and
f Robert Payne were elected blsbops
Ttirro were eighty-seven delegates ai
this conference representing the en
tire connection of Southern Method
ism. 't will be seen that sixty-four
years hare paeeed between the meet
ing of the first general confsrence In
Petersburg and the meeting of the
I sixteenth general conference to be
held In Ashevtlle, N. 13., -this month.
Since the year 1848. the church has
made wonderful progress. In 1848
there was one- bishop to 118.804
members, now tliere la one bishop to
228.589 members.
Since the meeting of the general
conference In Birmingham, Ala.,
1908, the following active bishop*
have died: BUhop A. Coke Smith,
Bishop William Wallace Duncan.
Bishop John- 1. Ttgert. BlshOP Beth
Ward and Blahop Charles B. Gallo
The rapid growth of the church In
numbers and occupation of new ter
ritory suggests that the future de
mands of the church will necessitate
not only the election of five bishops
to AH the vacancies cauaed by the
death of the btahop* within mention
ed; but It la believed that, the gen
eral conference will go beyond that
number growing ont of the fact that
there are forty-one Bute annual con
ferences working under the Jurlsdk
tloa of the general conference, repre
aentlng about 1,0#0.000 members. It
la believed that the great forward
movement of the work of the cliurch
In America a* well aa In heathen
lands, will lnaplre the general con
ference to ad 4, ? th* number of
blihop* to be elected who will be se
lected from among the leading mln
lgtera representing the church from
their various SUte conferences. -
The election for blahops will In all
' probability be held between May It
and May 18. In the choice of blsh
op'i only clerical delegates are en
titled to vote. No nomination* are
? made, the ballot being a *ecret one,
each delegate voting for bis cholt*.
and this form of balloting la ooa
tlnuad until all of the new bl*hops
are elected. It la understood that a
large rmmber of MethodlaU from
Norfolk and the section tributary to
It will go to Aahevllt* to wltne*a thl*
very Interesting and important work I
of the general conference.

Sunday evening after a most
thoughtful sermon by the pastor at

pressive ceremony was witnessed by
a large congregation. '
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'cWk
Mr. 8ulllvan immersed Candidas ip

has the entire oversight and direc
tion, which will claim a large share
of the sessions gf the body, many
other subjects of vital interest to the
denomination will have to be consid
ered.
A question of vital concern, on
which much has been written and
published In the various organs of
the church, Is the change In the pres
ent name of the chprch, eliminating
the word "South." Many of the fore
most leaders of _.tj?e denomination
who have written on the subject, be
lieve that the changed conditions
since the close of the war, and es
pecially In this, the twentieth cen
tury, during which the church has
extended her borders into those sec
tions where the word "South" is not
homogenius, and is now occupying
territory In all parts of the United
States, it behooves the great leaders
and lawmakers of the church to so
change tbe name that It will meet
the desires of Methodists of every
sectloh of the country. There are
many men who have been loyal to
the church who still hold to the opin
ion that there Is no occasion for a
change in the present name bf the
church. This will doubtless br.Ing on
a spirited discussion of the subject.
However, it U believed that those
who favor a change are In the ma
jority, and will likely be able to oc-|
complish their desire.
Among the names tha have been
Mgested are the following: Metho
iiUst Episcopal Church of America
and American Methodist Episcopal
Church.

Methodist Oiurch Loot Night
I The Children** Day service at the
! First Methodist Church Sunday e ren
ins waa one of the most unique and
?otortaintng services that has been
held in that church In sometime.
Every selection on the program warn
i well rendered and reflected credit
npt only oh the scholar bat the com
mittee In charge. Active prepara
tions, have been made tor this occa
sion several weeks and last night the
church auditorium waa well filled not
only with the students of the school
,but quite a number of adults graced
the occasion with their presence.
For want of space the Dally News
is denied the pleasure of callings*
tentlon to each selection, suffice it to
'say that all did excellent. The solo
by Miss Annie Thomas Archbell and
the recitation of Mlas Thelma Leg"
wett was creditable. The Cradle Roll
H?y Misses Margasst Wells and ElsJe
Ballard was another number that was
appreciated. The .recitations by Miss
BqttlQ Spencer and 'Master Dan Lee
Simmons wer* good and showed ex
cellent training. One of the features
?f the evening was the "Object of
Our Lord's Day Offering," by Master
Charlie Tayloe Harding. Quite a Alee
sum was realised by the collection,
due, no doubt. to_the urgent appeal
o(*thls bright little fellow. The duet
by" Misses Ada Rhodes and Olivia
Jordan was highly, enjoyed. The solo
of Mary Rhodes could not have been
beaten.
? Altogether the occasion was in
structive, entertaining and I interest
ing. Everyone present speaks in the
moat complimentary terms of the cel
ebration. Tlio superintendent Mr.
E. R. Mlxon, was In charge of the
exercises. ? The Sunday School or
chestra aided in the music.

TELEPHONES
The Norfolk & Southern and Virgin
Ian Railroads Join l*rocet?Bion.
The use of the telephone to dis
patch trains and handle traffic is soon
to be extended over two more rail
roads in the South. Already the ma
jority of the important lines In this
section have adopted this Improve
ment, and the latest to join the pro
cession are the Norfolk & Southern
and the Virginia Railway.
The Norfolk & Southern experts
to have Its telephone line fronT Nor
folk to Washington in ajbrvice early
this summer. On this afretch of 136
miles there ar^ be twenty telephone
stations. The equipment Is to be ar
ranged so that the dispatcher can call
the stations either individually or
collectively. There are to be eight
siding telephone sets at various
points along the line. Two of these
siding setsj which are made In heavy
weatherproof cases, are to be In
Stalled at the Mackey's Ferry draw
bridge.
Portable telephone sets for use In
case of emergency are to be carried
on the more important trains of this
road. These Instruments may be I
connected to the telephone lines by
means of jointed flsh poles.
The Virginian Railway has recent
ly ordered from the Western Electric j
Company, which also supplied the I
equipment for the Norfolk & South- j
em. apparatus to equip Its first and ?
second sections, extending from Nor
folk to Roanoke, a distance of 2^0 j
miles. Telephones are now being in-'
stalled on the third section, between
Roanoke and heepwater. West Vir
ginia. and will soon be ready for ser-j
vice.
On the flcst and second sections;
there are to be thirty-one stations j
equipped with telephones and Gill!
selectors, and twenty-seven with tel-j
ephone* alone. ^ A feature of this i
equipment Is tho-latent type of cen- j
tral energy selector, by means of:
which bells at all stations may bo '
rung from battery supplied oVer the j
telephone line from the dispatcher's |
office. This Is a now development In

ise to become a mecca for patriotic
pilgrims.
On the historic spot where Boone
Bpent 19 years of his. vigorous young
manhood, hunting and resisting the
skulking redskins, patriotic North
Carolinians have erected on the exact
site of the oiu homestead a few hun
dred yards from the Yadkjn river, a
new log cabin, a replica of the one
occupied by the intrepid hunter and
his family. Directly in front of the
simple building stands a handsome
shaft of native Rowan granite form
ing an Indian arrow head 15 feet
high and mounted upon a massive
base. Ornamenting this is a bronze
tablet bearing the name ' Daniel
Boone and the date of his residence
I in North Carolina. Both of these
memorials wore dedicated with ap
propriate ceremonies in which many
of the direct descendants of Boone,
and a score of others who boast of
their relationship to the pioneer, par
ticipated.
An elaborate program of exercises
hjfcd been arranged for the event. J.
R. McRary, president of the Daniel

great pioneer, that It contains, and
the uniqeu tablet designed to perpe

I 1909. The association was created a
? corporation, "with power to hold
| lands. erect suitable memorials, col
lect historical materials and such
other things as are necessary to per
petuate the memory of the life of
Daniel Boone In North Carolina."
_Tbe association Is comnosed of 11
men. of whom J. R. McRary. of Lex
ington is chairman, and it Is vested
with the power to perpetuate itself.
The memorial association has only
begun Its work. It intends to make
of this beautiful and picturesque spot
a Mecca for - pilgrims from every
where. It is about 12 miles form
Lexington in one direction and an
equal distance from Salisbury in the
other.

way case brought in Its verdict find
ing him not guilty of embezzlement
but guilty of both false entries and
misappropriation of the funds of the
bank. The jury prayed the court' to
give the defendant all the mercy In
Its power.
Counsel for Carraway at once
moved to set aside the verdict, which
was denied, then motion for a new
trial was made and this also denied.
Judge Connor then stated that he
was dlBpo.ed to take the suggestion
of the ]?<??>? and that he would k*vc
Carraway the minimum sentence, 5
years, in the Atlanta penitentiary.
An appeal was spoken of and bond
fixed at $10,000 but thiB was dipped
and Carraway left for Raleigh this
pvenlng In charge of Deputy Marshal
R. W. Ward.
The case of Stevens and Taylor,
charged as accessories, were contin

these eases will never "fie called.
