The vanguard of the minlatere and

? the seventy-eighth annual session of
the North Carolina Conference of
the M. E. Church, which opens here
tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock at
the P&pl Methodist church with
Bishop R. O. Waterhouse, X>. I>.^
ILL. D., Of Lot Angeles, California,

every incoming train and by tho time
the conference Is called to order tomorrow

860 and 430 are expected and the

Mary P. Oaugham, corner of Second
And R cope as streets, this afternoon
where Bishop WftUrbouee wUl be

The surmise is that the most important
matter to be considered by
the conference Is the matter of;
whether or:,hot it *111 endorse thel
new lfethodlst University just established
in the dty of Atlanta, towards
which Mr. Aea Chandler of that city,
has given $1,000,000.

rangement to edtertain tho many j

tl Is thought this year that-the
reports will show that Methodism
Vas made splendid progress during
the year.
The reception committee today Is
busy meeting tho different trains
and carrying the visitors to the
homes Where they are assigned.
This evening at the First M. E.
church, the "Sfcenlng sermon will be
delivered by Rev. H. A. Humble,
paetor of thd M. E. church at KlnSion,
N. C.
As la nsual with all Methodist conferences
the chief -Interest Is where
the preachers ^rlll be assigned by the
bishop and his cabinet for' the ensuing
year. ^
As the readers of thie paper know
the rules of the Mdthodlst church are
that no presiding elder nor preacher
can serve any one charge longer than
four years. In consequence of this
rule several changes will be made
by Bishop Waterhouse.
Among the presiding elders the
following will be assigned to another
field of labor: 1C. T. Plylejr, Elisabeth
City district; R. B. John, Fayettevllle
district; J. H."Hall. Raleigh
district: A. McCullen( Rockingham
diftrict^ J. T. Glbbs, W^hington district.
Among the preachers, 21 have
served their full limit and of course
will be sent to other charges.

RESOLUTIONS OP RESPECT.
Whereas, God in His wledom has
called to her regard our friend. Mrs.
T. J. Hardin;, who fell asleep early
on the morning of November 12th,
we, the W. C. T, *tj. of Washington,
N. C., do resolve:
First, That In the death qf Mrs.
Harding our Union has sustained a
deep loss. As superintendent of the
Flower Mission she has for some
years given faithful, loving service
1 to the sick and suffering of our
' city. An earnest Christian woman,
a good neighbor,Triways ready and!
glad to lend a helping hand, she]
will he sorely missed. We oan truly
1 apply te her the Master's words:
1 "She hath done what she could."
1 Seoond, That we extend our sincere
sympathy to her loved ones in
1 tholr great sorrow, and commend
r them to the One Comforter who
alono can heal.
9 "God's ohosen oannot due;
i*hey live, to conquer In (he strife,
' And reign with Him on high."
I
9 Third, That a copy of these reso5
lotions be given to her family, th%t
they be seat to the Daily News, and
9 that a page on the records of our
Union be set apart to her memory.

Manager J. P. Capehart. of the

something decidedly novel In a-theatrical
sense in the booking for an engagement
of ono night, Thursday*
November 19th, of the once notorious;
bank burgler and postoffice breakf*/ John
F. McCarthy (Weet Philadelphia
Johnny), who, having been pardoned
and is now reformed, will be
seen at the New Theatre Ih onjunotlon
with a startling four pvt
photo drama, "Sentenced for Life. "
McCarthy, in a lecture, entitled 1
"The Wrong Road," describes the
pictures as they are unfolded, and
tclla how ho became a bank robber.. 4
and finally what Induced him to ^
leave the wrong road, and go
straight -
Incidentally, It may be mentioned
that McCarthy has the backing and
the good wishes of some of^he men
high up in Y. M. C. A. circles ir
New York city,* men who are taking
a personal Interest In the future of
a man who, although formorly an
"undesirable citizen," Is no* making
good.
According to advance reports the
entertainment furnished by Mr. Mc- w
Carthy Instantly appeals to the au- "

Atlanta, Qa., Nov. 17.?Southern off
Railway has nearly completed the
installation of a modern automatic
block signal system between Am- 1
herst and Whittle's, Va.t 57.6 mile,
and between Atlanta 'and New Holland,
Ga., 53.46 mileft, thus providing we
for two important double tracks th<
stretches of the Washington-Atlanta of
line, the safe high class protective
facility which Is now In use on this re<
line between Washington and yea
Orange, Va., k*79 nKles, between Nc
Danville. Va., and Pelham, N. C-, 9.3 su<
miles, and between Denim and Char- an
lotte, N. C., 95.3 miles, a total of
189.5 miles which, when work now
unw under way Is completed, will
give 300.46 miles eo protected of.
the 649 miles between Atlanta and ^
Washington. A
Between Amherst and Whittles 84 nQ
signals of" the upper quadrant three- ev
position type have been erected at
Intervals of approximately two miles.
Power stations have bea erected at
Monroe, Lynchburg and Whittles.
Between Atlanta and New Holland 7S
similar signals have teen erected A<
and power stations^iave been built
at Gainesville, Howell and South v?
Inmann. W
These signals will be so controlled ?i
that they will Indicate to the engineer
the presence of a train ahqgd.,
a broken rail, open switch, or any
other obstruction to traffic. He will
know continuously the condition of
the track for epprlxtmately four
miles In advance of his train, thus
giving him all the Information necessary
to control the train safely and
expedtetlously.
The signals will be operated by
a three-phase alterpatlng current of '
4,400 volts carried on special pole
lines erected along the right-of-way.
The current will also light the stations
and other buildings. Lighting
small stations by electrlcltl Is an
Important Improvement which, It Is
believed, will be appreciated by all
who have occasion to use them.
Dtsptte present, business conditions,
Southern Railway Is rushing
work on this signal system which
will not only Insure a high degree of
safety but will aid In tha expeditious
movement of the heavy business
which Is oonAdently expected when
the causes of the present temporary
depression sfe removed.

"The fighting line has not channel

fire is constantly going on.

siege resembles greatly that of Sabastopol.
Daily engagements occur,
