Charlotte Maw.
Bishop W. W. Duncan, who went
from Charlotte to Jarietta, Ga., to
kreeide at the Methodist Conference in
that State, delivered some ttroog words
in bis Thanksgiving sermon snd in the
course of his remarks made use of very
forcible language in discussing society
snd its effect upon the women of the
lnd.
The Bishop declared that society is
leading women to their ruin, and that
many violations of the law by the so
ciety set an winked at. "I see," said
the Bishop, -"when I am visiting around
during the year, the empty benches at
the prayer meeting, the lack of at
tendance at the church societies and
the non-attendanoe to the ordinary re
ligious duties. What is the matter with
the women? I will tell you. They are
going to their clubs and societies. Tbey
have to co to their Shakespeare Club,
and their Browning Club and' their
Tennyson Club. It isn't so bad for them
to go to the Browning Club, because if
they ever get so that they 'can under
stand him the only reason can be that
they have been hard at work studying
him. To know Browning one must
study and study bard, and even then
the chances, if you ever meet him,
and tell him the meaning of something
he has written he will not understand
you. If you give him your interpreta
tion of what he has written the thought
you express will probably never have
occurred to bim. But why organise
Shakespeare or Browning or Tennyson
clubs? You never hear cf a David Club
or a Paul Club or a Mark Club. I defy
the oombined geniuses of the world to
put all they have ever written together
and rival with it the beauties of the
poetry in the book of David.
"Now, during our recent Conference
in North Carolina, Bishop Cheshire, of
the Episcopal Church, came bt fore us
and made an address upon that fearful
evil of divoroe. Why was it necessary ?
Let me say to the women, and I never
discount women: many say that I
praise them too much they become
unmanageable at home. But I want to
say seriously, that your clubs and fed
erations of clubs and societies for the
study of things are going to be your
own ruin. If you keep on excluding
your hutbands and sons and meet be
hind closed doors by gas light without
a male present, you need not be sur
prised if the men go to their clubs and
their saloons.
"Ob, your tete-a tetea and your func
tions functions," exclaimed Bishop
Duncan in a burst of sarcasm.
"As long as you insist upon giving
functions you need not be surprised if
the men become E'ks and join the
clubs."
The Bishop then told of the evils of
card playing and wine drinking at
these "functions," and illustrated with
the story of a gambler who had died
drunk and who, had first learned to
gamble in his mother's parlor by play
ing for a cut glass vase and who had
first learned to drink at a "function"
given by his mothea.
' You can call it a 'cut glass function
if you want to, said the Bishop, "but
the devil calls it 'gambling.' "
"So does tbe law," interrupted one
of the ministers from tbe floor.
"Who enforces it V asked tbe Bishop
quickly, looking in tbe direction from
whence came the interruption.
"They made a show of enforcing the
law by arresting a crap game, and the
newspapers are full of the splendid ef
forts of tbe offioers to break up cam
bliDg, but all the while cut glass wo
men continue. Keep it up, you women,
snd you will see here in Georgia what
I saw recently in Butte, Mon. I saw a
saloon with a side door to it, marked
Ladies' Entrance.' Think of it. An
entrance for ladies."
ade'a School Exercises.
George Ade'has in his possession a
number of the school exercises that he
wrote in his childhood.
'One of these exercises," he said the
other day, "was about a river nesr the
school. The teacher told us to incorpo
rate in a composition three pieces of
information about this river. I wrote"
And Mr. Ade took out a pencil and
scratched on tbe back cf an envelope:
'The River. I have lived near it. I
have saled over it. I have fell into it.

Special to Charlotte Observer.
Hmdkbsos , Deo. 1. The second day
of the sixty-eighth session of the North
Carolina Conference opened at 9:30
o'clock this morning, Bishop W. A.
Candler in the chair.
Bishop Candler spoke to the Confer
ence with reference to the absence of
so many of the members of the Confer
ence from the morning devotional ex
ercises. He said: "If the members of
a State Legislature should absent them
selves from religious exercises as some
of you do, a resolution would be after
them. Most of you that do not come
in here to prayers are standing out
therein front of the ohurch talking
during the time allotted to religious ex
ercises. And then another trouble is
that among those who come in the
church, a number in one corner of the
church were talking this morning while
Dr. Yates was reading the Scriptures,
and another crowd of you in another
corner were giving evidence of net
having the ability to whisper. There is
plenty of time to talk in the afternoon,
out of tbe Conference room, and if you
don't get to say all you expect to say
don't feel bad about it, for before Con
ference is apver you will be sorry for
having said about half you say, and
the speech you don't make you don't
regret. And a green speech that can't
be kept without an antiseptic until
after prayers had better not be made."
Bishop Candler is the life of the Con
ference, and he never makes a remairE
to the body that does not have a strik
ing point. ,
J. N. Cole, presiding elder of the
Rockingham district, has just com
pleted his first year as a presiding elder,
made special reference to the good
work of his predecessor. With regard
to this remark, Bishop Cakdler said :
"I am glad to hear that remark. Some
preachers seem never to have had a
predecessor that has done anything,
and some hinder their successors so
that they can't do anything. I love to
hear a preacher speak well of bis pre
decessor. When you are gone away
from a work, brethren, 'stay gone.'
Don't go to writing back to that oharge,
for it is no longer yours. And don'
be running back there, for you are not
nosing around there for any good
Brother Cole made a'good remark when
he spoke well of his predecessor, and I
have hope ot him. It is an easy temp
tation when a man gets to be presiding
elder to think there never was another.
I do not refer to Brother Cole by this
last remark, but I was presiding elder
once."

Just now when there is much money
in tbe hands of farmers adroit agents
will be on the road. They will have
the best and only clocks, sewing ma
chines, steel ranges, improved churns,
and other useful articles, all of which
can be bought at borne. The writer
saw two hegroes a few days ago who
had just finished the last installment
on (60 sewing machines, which oould
have been bought for $20 or less. These
agents make an ignorant man feel that
the last ohnce has come to secure the
article they have for sale and then by
giving two or three years' time they
deceive the purchaser completely.
They have chattel mortgages which aie
iron-clad, and once signed there is no
way of evading payment. Those agents
generally demand the coat of the article
the first payment. Never sign any
papers of that sort. The prices asked
by these agents are generally three
times as much as your local dealer will
ask. Those mor'gages printed in such
small type that the ordinary farmer
cannot read them, are dangerous and
deceptive.

BVAD1N8 CHILD LABOR LAW
aTOr. RleKelsray Writes Gavsraor Bay
m
ward Concerning Is.
Columbia, 8. C, Deo. 8. AooAVding
to a letter received by Governor Hey
ward today from the assistant secretary
of the National Child Labor Association,
Dr. A. J. McKelway, who writes from
Charlotte, it looks as if that organisa
tion is beginning an active campaign
in this State, North Carolina and Vir
ginia to raise the age limit of children
working in the mill from 12 years to 14
years, on the ground that the present
age limit affords parents to easy an op
portunity to get their children into the
mills under 12 years of age. Dr. Mc
Kelway is a member of the Southern
Education Association. In his letter
he says:
"I have made some personal investi
gations of my own, and secured a good
many facts of interest from others in
terested, and am convinced that our
present law, which is practically uni
form in Virginia, North and South
Carolina, is very ineffective as it now
stands. The age limit is 12 years for
children working in tbe mills, but any
parent who wants to get s 10 year-old
child into the mill can do so in most
instances by simply stating that the
child is 12 years old.
"In one village . near Charlotte,
which has been published a great deal
as a model milt settlement, after a
thorough investigation, I found only
8 per cenf. of the children of school
age at school, 67 per cent, of them in
the mill, and the remainder idling
away their time simply waiting until
they were old enough to work in- tbe
mill. -
"Governor Ay cock suggested to me,
a year or two ( a go, the amendment of
our present law in this particular. He
suggested that we raise the sge limit
from 12 to 14 years for children who
cannot read and write. That will put
a premium upon education, just as
soon as the parents understand that
they cannot get their children into' the
mills under 14 years of age unless they
first send them to school. The only
two children whom I found in the vil
lage of which I speak while the factory
was running, who seemed' to be 12
years old, were two negro boys, and
these boys were going to school. Any
one can see what that simple fact
means in connection with our negro
problem in the South."
Educating- the People.
An expressive cry comes from Bos-
ton, uttered by Thomas Lawson. He
declares that:
The Massachusetts Legislature
bought and sold as are sausages and
fish at the markets and wharves. That
the largest, wealthiest, and most prom'
inent corporations in New England
whose affairs are conducted by our
most representative citizens, habitually
corrupt the Massachusetts Legislature,
and tbe man of wealth among them
who would enter protest against the
iniquity would be looked on as a "class
anarchist." I will go further and say
that if in New England a man of the
type of Folk, of Missouri, can be
found who will give over six months to
turning up tbe legislative and Boston
municipal sod of the past ten years,
who does not expose to the world a con
dition of rottenness more rotten than
was ever before, exhibited in any com
munity in the civilized world, it will
be because he bas been suffocated by
the stench of what he exhumed.

the location of a mail box along the

Fresh testimony in great quantity is
constantly coming in, declaring Dr.
King's New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds to be unequaled. A
recent expression from T. J. McFarland,
Ben tors ville, Va., serves as exampW. He
writes: "I bad bronchitis for three
years and doctored all the time without
being benefited. Then I began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery, and a few
bottles wholly cured me." Equally
