The opening session of the Metho dist Episcopal church conference wsi held in Greensboro at the West Mar ket church yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Bishop Collins Denny is presiding. Every detail of the confer ence has been worked out and hun dreds of ministers and visitors are in Greensboro for the session. A num ber of Asheboro people are expected to attend some of the sessions of the conference before it adjourns. Hun dreds of homes in Greensboro have been thrown open to the visitors and every detail has been arranged for their entertainment and comfort. All the presiding elders, Revs. W. F. Womble, Greensboro district; J. B. Craven, Charlotte; T. F. Marr, Salisbury; H. C. Sprinkle, Asheville; D. M. Litaker, Statesville; C. S. Kirk patrick, Shelby; R. S. Howie, Waynes ville; J. W. Williams, North Wilkes-! boro; J. H. West, Mount Airy; W. A. ! Newell, Winston-Salem; and Z. Paris, ! Marion, are present, j Rev. W. L. Sherrill, who has called j the conference roll for the past 30 years, will perform that service again today, and, will doubtless be elected to succeed himself for the 31st time. Mr. Sherrill is considered one of the best, if not the best, conference secre tary in the South. The first item of business will be reports from the pre siding elders. It used to be the cus to for each preacher to take the floor and report of his year's work, but the conference has grown so large that it would take up practically all the time allotted to a session to get through this item of business alone, hence the presiding elder usually makes a report covering his district. Yestrday afternoon Rev. W. L. Hutching, of Lexington, "preached be fore the conference. Last night's ses sion was given over to the considera tion of the Sunday school work, and Dr. John W. Shackleford, of Nash ville, Tennessee, delivered an address. Rev. W. L. Sherrill has been asked to writ a history of the western North Carolina conference and Rev. L. A. Falls has been requested to con tinue the writing the biography of each member of the conference which was begun by Rev. R. M. Taylor and was incompleted when he died last year. There is always great interest in the appointments for the various churches and the session of the con ference that has to do with these ap pointments will be of unusual con cern to the Methodists of western North Carolina. Mr. J. B. Parks Dead J. Ja. Parks, aged about 81 years, died at his home near Pisgah, Union township, Monday following an illness from heart trouble. Mr. Parks is the last of a large family of chil dren, the others havins preceded him in death. Surviving besides the wid- own, are one daughter, Mrs. Dovie Callicott, of Strieby; three sons, Messrs. R. 0., Walter, and Causey Parks, all of Pisgahr- The funeral services were held Tuesday at the old Parks' burial ground. Mr. Parks has long been a leading citizen of his community taking an active part in all community affairs. He was as long as he was active con sidered one of the best farmers in the county. , Orphanage Singing Class Here Saturday The singing class of the Oxford Orphanage will be in Asheboro next Saturday night, October 18th, and will give a concert in the graded school auditorium.

Calls on Mr. Meekins To Name The Banks Corporation Commission Says Repub lican Nominee Talks From Stand point Of Partisan Feeling. Characterizing the statement of Isaac W. Meekins, Republican can didate for governor, that half the banks in North Carolina should be closed, as utterances emanating from partisan feeling, members of the North Carolina Corporation Commission have issued a statement demanding that he name the banks that should be closed. The statement, after disposing of the accusation as one requiring, no answer, and stating that if there were too many banks that it is the fault of the Legislature and not the regulating body, and admitting that the bank examiners are Democrats, and explaining that a. similar con dition would hold under a Repub lican administration, continues "On one phase of the matter the commission is disposed to register resentment of Mr. Meekins' line of attack, and that is his thoroughly reckless attack upon State hanks as a whole, which is regarded as the I most pernicious piece of partisan ship of the campaign. If Mr. Meek ins knows of exactly 225 banks in ; the State that ought to be shut up ne ougnt to name tnem and not shoot with a swell muzzle gun at all banks in the State. "The campaign he is making on i this line would be far-reaching in , miscnievous consequences, if it were not known that it is purely political and partisanship of the worst kind. It is dangerous and un excusable partisanship even for the last month of a partisan campaign." Ten In "Death Row" "Death row" at the state prison at Raleigh now has ten occupants but due to appeals and the absence of Warden Sam Busbee from the state the execution of any of the condemn ed is not likely to take place at a very early date.

Astibaro, COMPANY GIVEN BACK MILLIONS I Mellon Corporation Charred By Congressman With Il legal Profits. : Washington, Oct. 13. The Alumi- num Company of America, "owned principally by Secretary Mellon and his brother, R. B. Mellon, of Pittsburgh," was declared by Repre- seniauve jeiiers, ot Alabama, in a statement made public tonight by the Democratic National Committee, "not only to have been the bene ficiary of special favors through tariff legislation," but in June, 1923, to have received "an allowance of $15,589,614.39 as settlement of an amortization claim." "And this vast allowance whic'-i was finally granted to Mr. Mellon's company," Mr. Jeffers said, "is a different amount and, as a matter of fact, is a great deal larger amount that was first estimated to be due to the Aluminum Company of America as amortization." Charging that the Aluminum Company "owned chiefly by the Mellons, is the recipient and bene ficiary of special favors at the hands of the present administra tion," Mr. Jeff res added: "It is an improper state of af fairs, where an individual having claims against the government for such vast amounts is himself at the head of the department which handles such claims. In so doing, Secretary Mellon is as devoid of ethics as would be a judge sitting upon a case in which he had a per sonal interest. And especially in a department where favoritism in the handling of cases in that depart ment is completely surrounded and protectee oy tne wan oi aDsoiute j secrecy, which has covered all trans- actions within that particular de partment." Mr. Jeffers also declared that the Aluminum Company, "has been granted favors by the Department of Labor because of the admission, outside the immigration quota, of foreign workers in large numbers to work at its new York plant across the border from Canada, when there were millions of idle laborers inAmerica." Referring to the amortization claim, he said; "Several important and interest ing steps figured in this case be fore this enormous allowance was finally granted. It was not granted upon the basis of the first claim filed nor upon the first engineers' report which was filed. Amended or supplemental returns figured in this case, as did additional reports cov ering alleged inspections made by engineers in the department The result of the long drawn out process of this claim through the bureau of Internal Revenue, was this final . amortization allow ance of almost $16,000,000, an amount far more generous than the amount originally claimed or esti mated. Either the engineers re sponsible for the original am ount estimated to be due to the company were extremely moderate and did not do the company justice, or the engineers who made the final allow ance were extremely generous to the Aluminum Company. "I may say that I believe the real truth of the matter concerning this amortization refund claim which was allowed is that it was never truly a legal amortization claim. The stuff on which this enor mous amount was allowed could never have been properly classed as coming within the scope of the legal meaning of amortization. THE BEST TRAINED TEACHERS There were 2,146 white graduates of A grade colleges teaching last year in North Carolina. The city schools em ployed 1,400 of these and the rural schools employed 746. If these train ed teachers had been distributed ra tably on the basis of the number of teaching positions in city (3,982) and rural schools (12,415), then the city - - ----- 1,400 and the rural chooU would have WMai Asheboro after having robbed had 1,624 instead of 746.

President Coolidge's connection with the Boston police strike was the sub- ject of a statement issued by the Democratic national committee last Saturday. statement charges that Presi- (lent Coo,jd when Governor of Mas. sachusetts was innocent of any par- ticipation whatever in dealing with Vl1 ..,, :,, , " the Boston police strike riot or in the restoration of law and order in Bos- ton at any time. "It charges that he avoided taking any part in the controversy during the critical hours immediately pre ceding the strike and riots, when the citizens' committee of 34 leading 1 men of Boston, appointed by the 1 mayor to help solve the problem, ad 1 vised him that 'an avoidable strike was impending.' "It further charges that Gover nor Coolidge remained wholly aloof until order had been completely re stored. "The committee also charges that Governor Coolidge was repeatedly appealed to by the mayor and cit izens' committee to take cognizance of the critical condition that led up to the strike and actual rioting, but he declined to do anything. "In Boston, it is pointed out, the police are under a commissioner op pointed by the govemer, which fact gave Governor Coolidge definite re sponsibility, not only as chief exec utive of the State, hut as actual, re sponsible head of the Boston police department. 1 ne statement rentes that it was "Mayor Andrew J.

LEGUMINOUS CROPS FURNISH MOST AMMONIA Shoi By Experiments With Wheat 1 North Caroline Prevents Washing of the Land. The practice generally followed by most farmers in this State in raising wheat is to fertilise with 800 or 400 pounds of 8-2-2 or from 200 to 400 pounds of H yer cent acid phos phate. The results-of fertilizer ex periments, carried out by the Divis j ion of Agronomy ofj the North Care , lina Experiment Station for a period of several years have shown that both phosphates and nitrogen are necessary for large increases in 1 wheat yields. If this is so, the ad dition of phosphates alone or phos phates with a small amount of am ' monia will not give the yield that should be secured for the reason that ammonia is also one of the limiting 1 actors along with tne phosphates. -'- Therefore, the Experiment Station is advising farmer to use for wheat a fertiliser analysing 10 to 12 pr . cent phosphoric add, 4 to 9 per cent : V V ammonia and, -when potash is cheap,'- .' around 2 per cent potash.
