SKETCHES OF THE PASTORS NEW MEN AT HAYWOOD STREET AND BETHEL. Some Echoes of the Conference Which Closed Yesterday-That Res olution Against the Manufacture and Sale of Cigarettes. The return of Rev. Dr. Chas. W. Byrd to Central church tar another year Is gratifying to every member of his con gregaltion. Dr. Byrd's people admire him not only as a preacher, but they love him as a man, 'and while they are loyal Methodists, there would hive been something akin to a riot, In -their feelings at least, if the Bishop had taken Dr. Byrd from 'them. North Asheville church would not have been satisfied had Rev. E. L. Bain "been sent elsewhere. Mr. Bam has the undivided love of his people and will do great work there. He Is one of the strongest preaiohers among the young men of the conference, and he is as modest as he is able. As a pastor Mr. Bain is as strong as in the pulpit, and the itime is not distant when he will he placed in charge of the best churches in the conference. Rev. Hardin L. Atkins, the new pas tor of HaywWd street church, has been a member of the conference for about 11 years. He has been stationed at Church street, Charlotte, for the past three years. He is one of the very best preachers in the conference, and a thoroughly good pastor. He has a wife and one child, and will move into the church parsonage at once. Rev. M. A. Smith, who served Hay wood street church last year, goes to Statesville station, which is considered one of :the desirable appointments of the conference. 'Mr. Smith is a fine preacher and very highly regarded by the conference, not only for his piety but for his business albility. He is. a brother-in-law of Alderman Wm. M. Jones of Asheville. Rev. Jacob R. Moose, who succeeds Rev. J. M. Downum at Bethel, is about 30 years of age and has heen a mem ber of the conference seven years. He is an aggresaive man, and noted for his efficiency as a worker arroong the masses. He is a man of family. He served Troutman circuit, Statesville district, last year. Rev. J. M. Downum goes from Bethel in this city to King's Mountain station, Mt. Aiiry district. Mr. Downum did good Work during his stay In Asheville, and Bethel congregation wtouild have been glad to have him returned to them. The return of Dr. D. Atkins as pre siding elder of the Asheville district is gratifying to every charge wtfthin the hounds of the dlistrict. Dr. Atkins is one of the strongest preachers in the conference and one of the best all 'round man iin the conference. He has filled many of the best places dn both the Western North Carolina and Hols ton .inferences, and never disappoint ed either the conference "or the peo ple CONFERENCE ECHOES. That was a handsome speech, and a splendid exhibition of Christian spirit, made by Dr. J. S. Felix at the First Baptist church Sunday morning in In troducing Dr. John C. Kilgo to his con gregation. Doctor Felix said he had ' had two Of the preachers of the con ference in his home and had enjoyed every minute ff their stay, and he wanted to know .if it would not be pos sible for 'the conference to continue in session indefinitely. The town was in the hands of the Methodists, he said, anld for the time 'being the Baptists were n-t in it. The Citizen's extra yesterday giving a full list of the appointments was greatly appreciated by the members of the conference. It took rapid work, as the preachers left the conference room and started immediately for the depot to catch the eastbound train. A Citizen courier, mounted upon a bicy cle, with hfs arms fu'll of extras, in tercepted the train at Biltmore and gave every preacher a full list of the appointments. Some thought It could not be the full list, but it was, and all were profuse in their expressions of ap preciation and went home happy. uiany expressions of regret were heard that Dr. W. W. Bays was not given a charge for the ensuing year. It appears that this was Dr. Bays' wish. He will retain his membership at Try-; on street church, Charlotte, and sus tain a supernumerary relation to that charge. Dr. Bays is dn many respects one of the remarkable men of Southern Mernodism, and 'thousands will look with interest for his return to tJhe ac tive work of the ministry. Just hefore the appointments were read by Bishop Key yesterday, he call ed on Rev. G. W. Ivey to lead in pray er. The aged preacher, upon his knees, and with a tremble in his voice that did not indicate fear, announced to his brethren that they were about to re ceive their "marching orders." This old soldier of the cross has been an itiner ant Methodist preaoher lor 47 years, and has never served anything but a country charge. His eyesight failed him during the past year, and for a time he was almost totally blind, hut an opera tion was performed and htts sight was partially restored. He went to his new work, Lenoir circuit, with a courageous heart, and a firm faith in the God who has been with htm aH during the past. Dr. Thomas Lawrence of the Normal anld Collegiate .institute, made a fine impression on the conference toy his short but admirable talk yesterday. When he said that his school was sec tarian to the extent that ffte Presbyter ians wanted to do aH the paying he made a srong point. And when he said that he "was a firm believer In Calvin, Knox and Wesley, the preachers before him showed hy their faces that they understood that sort of feeling. The anti-cigarette resolution which passed the conference yesterday was signed by Dr. C. W. Byrd. Dr. J. H. Weaver, 'W. R. Ware and T. F. Marr, clerical, and J. G. Staples. lay mem bers of the conference. This resolution strongly opposed both the manufacture and sale at cigarettes, upon the ground that their use is a curse, and it was passed by a practically unanimous vote. But the most remarkable thing in conection with it was the disposition on the part of some members of the conference to suppress the fact that it had been passed by the tody. Rev. Harold Turner, who goes to Hot Springs circuit, is an Asheville boy, a graduate of Trinity college, and a thoroughly Consecrated young man. This is Mr. Turner's first charge, and no one who knows him doubts but that he will faithfully and albly serve his people. AMONG THE LAYMEN. The lay delegation to the conference was composed of many of the most prominent citizens of the communSties from which they came. O. W. Carr of 'Greensboro was a prominent educator in his earlier days, having been professor of natural science in Trinity ctdlege. 4He is now one of the foremost men of his city. Joshua C. Curtis of Buncombe head ed the lay delegation of the Asheville district. Mr. Curtis is one of the pros perous farmers of the mountain section and a man of 'affairs in politics, relig ion and business. He was for years a must efficient member of the board of commissioners of Buncombe, and gave character to that body toy his sagacity and unimpeachable integrity. W. M. Cundiff of Surry county is principal of Silioam- academy, and a lover of education. He is an A. M. grad uate icf E-mory and Henry college, Va. G. W. Hinsbaiw is a prominent citi zen of Winston, and has recently been brought into prominence in that section of the State 'hly reason of his active interest in the propsed construction of the Stone Mountain railroad. The conference would hardly be con sidered complete without the presence of Dr. J. A. Reagan of Weaverville. He h'as kng been prominently connected with all Methodist religious work in this section, and is one of the stauneh est friends of Christian education He is i always f oremost among his people In all enterprises of the church C. W. TuHett of Charlotte is the son of a Methodist preacher, a brother of F Tillett, kJean ttf the theological faculty at Vanderbilt University, and one of the most influential members of ll? aTlOUe bar- He is fted as a speaker successful as a lawyer and a most highly honored Christian man He is foremost in all works looking to the upbuilding of his city and State He rnfearenace.,ielegate t0 th.e last WESTERN CAROLINA BANK.

Ffll WIN 11 In Preference to the Present U Name, Court Square. A NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS THE SENTIMENT PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS. Those Seen by "The Citizen" Be lieve the Change of Name Would be a Fitting Tribute to a Prominent Man. "Uncle Bdb" (R. B.) Justice's sug gestion in yesterday's Citizen that the name of Court square be changed to Clingtnan square seems to have meja favorable response from the people, as shown by the expressions of a number cuf citizens gathered in a short time this morning by The Citizen. The Zeh Vance Democratic cluh endorsed the idea last evening. The views of a num ber of citizens follow: J. H. Tucker If the court house is to be moved it would be better to make the change in name. I think we should honor Gen. Clingman, however, and have no objection to the change. W. A. Boyce The idea does not strike me as being very good, aKhougn I have no objection to the plain. I doubt that the people would adopt the new name if it were given, as they have known the square as Court square so tong. H. B. Stevens I am heartily in favor of it, because I believe Gen. Clingman deserves a high tribute from the people of Western North Carolina. The idea of the Vance monument in Clingman square is a good one, and the Change would make an appropriate memorial there to two of the State's greatest men. F. W. Thomas It is a very good sug gestion. We ought to give Gen. Cling mlan th'is recognition. D. M. Lu'dher I am very much in fa vor of the idea. We have done Some thing to commemorate the memory of our great men, but nothing for Gen. Clingman, who was one of our greatest statesmen and soldiers. It is only a matter otf 'time when the court house wiill be moved. Then we will have a square that will be an honor to any city, and it would be much better to eajl it Clingman square. Judge J. M. Green The change would be a very nice thing. Court place and Public square are names that are too indefinite. Maj. .J. R. Ballew I 'aim heartily in favor of the proposed change. Gay M. Williams The change would 'be very appropriate if we would erect a monument to Gen. ClingnTan als'o. don't abject to a change, but think it ought to be Vance or Monument square. A change might work some confusion. There ought to be a monu ment to Gen. Clingman. Marcus Erwin The square ought to have some distinctive name and we cannot get a better one than "Clirfg man." Milliard L. Morris Aside from the I temporary inconvenience, the idea of a chinge.is a first-rate one. W. P. Brown I am in favor of it; it would be a very appropriate thing. Haywood Parker I am like Uncle Bob Justice; I want it to he Clingman square. Julius C. Martin I aim heartily in fa vor oif the change. Collector Harkins If a. change is made let the name be Vance or Monu ment square. Capt. W. T. Mason I think it would e a very nice thing t make the change. W. B. Gwyn I nke it; I like it. Cling m'.m is a classic. He almost overtops all others. He came from across the mountains and made this county his home, and he should be honored. Jostph S. Adams I am in favor of it; Vance monument in Clingman square. It sister BeaehWrd The suggestion is a very good one. W. H. Penland Good idea. Deputy Register Bradley I don't1 see why any man should object. R. T. Pojr It would he very appro priate. Circuit Court Clerk Wilson It strikes me as a good idea. It would locate the Vance monument for strangers, too It would be about as prominent tribute of respect as could be given, and would meet the aDoroval rtf h :r.ivo; erally. Jos. E. Dickerson The new name would be better than Court square. Maj. S. B. Erwin It would be a very good change. The new name would give us a memento of Gen. dint art n. years to come. Superior Court Clerk Cathey The idea suits me. J. M. Jones I've no objection In the world to it. Sheriff Worlev Thp older mn to say whether they want it. Gen. Clingman, however, ought to have a memorial. Justice T. I. VanGilder It wtould be very appropriate? J. C. Brown The idea is a good one. G. A. Greer I like 'it; it is due Gen. Clingman, it is a pretty name, and It is appropriate. Col. J. M. Ray I am willing to change, and have heard no opposition to the suggestion. Louis M. Bourne It is a good thing to change the name.

Clingman had a wealthy relative in Texas, Mr. Hare having met her while living In that State some years ago. The lady is a Mrs. Clingman. who then lived at San ta. Anna, but now at Coleman. When Mr. Hare returned to- Asheville Mrs Clingman sent a message to the Gen eral to the effect that he might come to her and make his home there so long as he lived.
