Will Commence Business In this City in January. Recognizing, as we always have, our superior location for jobbing houses, we are not as much surprised as pleas ed to have the pleasure of informing our readers of the organization of a wholesale dry goods house, which will commence business in Greensboro January first, next, with a paid in cash capital of $100,000. The organizers of the new concern are Mr. M L. Shields, of our city, and Messrs. J. F. Goodson, T. C. McCorkle and A. T. Dos9er, of Morristown,Tenn. Mr. Shields, although having re sided here less than two years, is al ready recognized by all who know him to be one of our leading business men. While we are not personally acquainted with the other gentlemen, whom we most cordially welcome to our city, we know them by reputation to be among the most successful mer chants of Tennessee, and their selection of our city for this enterprise is ample evidence of their good judgment. We are informed by Mr. Shields that the new concern is now negotia ting for a suitable building on Elm street, and are also making arrange ments to' have six salesmen on the road for Spring business CHANGE OF PASTORS. Presiding Elders Wood and Carraway Change Places. We all knew that under the laws of the Methodist church, Presiding Elder Carraway and Dr. Weaver would not be returned to Greensboro. They have both closed four years of successful work and they leave us with the con sciousness that they leave behind many warm friends. Mr. Carraway goes to the Winston district while Dr. Wood, who has been presiding elder of that district four years, comes to Greensboro. Dr. Weaver goes to Salisbury, while Rev. J. C. Rowe be comes pastor of West Market street church. Rev. J. E. Gay, a man greatly ad mired by his congregation, has been pastor of Centenary church three years but the Bishop, in his wisdom, sends him to Brevard Street church, Char lotte, and Rev. T. E. Wagg becomes pastor of Centenary. While Greens boro Methodists from a sense of en dearment brought about by the pleas ant social intercourse, and the long, faithful and able services of the re tiring presiding elder and pastors Weaver and Gay, give them up with feelings of regret, they extend to the new presiding elder and pastors, a cordial and hearty welcome, and we believe will 2ver stand ready to aid them in the futher upbuilding and ex tension of Christ's Kingdom, in this district and city. We rejoice at the return of Rev. G. T. Rowe to Proximity church, where he wrought so well and successfully last year. Rev. W. L. Grissom was appointed missionary secretary. His duties will be to travel throughout the bounds of the conference, preach and lecture on the subject of missions, hold mass meetings etc. FOOTBALL TOMORROW At The Park Go Out and Encourage Home Talent. Some of the local football enthu siasts have arranged to have a game at the park tomorrow afternoon be tween North and South Greensboro.

THE CLOSE OE CONFERENCE Interesting Discussion on the To bacco Question. THE PUBLISHING HOUSE CLAIM. Scenes of Ihe Closing Hours Dr. Creasy Was in the Chair Many Changes in the Appointments. The Western North Carolina confer ence of the Methodistchurch closed last night in Winston, after being in ses sion just a week. We give the follow ing account of the closing hours, ta ken largely from the report contained in the Winston Sentinel. Rev. Dr. Creasy occupied the Bishop's chair, and Father Needham led the confer ence in pryer. The. first business was the election of the Advocate commis sion, the result of which was announc ed in this paper yesterday. The committee on temperance sub mitted its report and it was read by the secretary. In the report was a recommendation that our young preachers abstain from the use of ciga rettes and tobacco. Rev. W. L. Sherrill moved to strike out our ' 'young preachers" and sub- , stitute "our people." Dr. Chrietzberg moved to strike out all of it about tobacco. He said, we don't wantto stultify ourselves. I am opposed to tobacco in all its forms, but this is a report on temperance. Dr. Byrd: .Large donations have had a tendency to close our mouths on some things. Dr. Chreitzberg: We ought to in clude morphine. In many places it is doing more harm than tobacco. There is- no need for us to go into par ticulars. Our members are 60 connect ed with tobacco that if we take any action at all it should be such as to demand respect and obedience from our people. J. W. Mansfield: I am opposed to tobacco, and the names of things that might be condemned is legion. We should not always be striking at one community, or man, or set of men. G. H. Detwiler; We put that in be cause there were some brethren who intended bringing a more radical reso lution before the conference. W. R. Odell: If we xpass resolu tions, we ought to carry them out. There is no law in our church about tobacco or tobacco business. There is one about whiskey. There is no good in this except to get in the pa pers and create strife. Rev. J. E. Gay: It is a question of consistency. I don't see why we con demn cigarettes and leave out other things. There is no diQerence in put ting tobacco in a paper, and putting it in a bag, and paper to wrap it in with it. There is no moral difference in that and other forms of tobacco. I am with you if you agree to quit it. Our preachers smoke. If we pass this let us not condemn ourselves by going but and smoking. I do not favor cig arettes. I believe they are an evil perhaps the worst form of tobacco, but the question before us is simply one of consistency. Mr. J. A. Odell moved the previous question to strike out of the report everything about tobacco. The ayes and noes were called for, and a vote was taken. Dr. James Atkins said he didn't think that was what they want ed. Dr. Byrd challenged the vote be cause he thought several voted for what they didn't want though he said he would be willing to go on record himself. Dr. Chrietzburg made a mo tion to reconsider, which was carried. Dr. Creasy, who was in the chair: Brethren, please be quiet. This is my maiden effort in the Bishopric. Ayes and noes were called for and a vote was taken. Forty out of 226 were in favor of this. It failed because it was not one-fifth. Dr. Chrietzberg then made a motion to strike out all reference to tobacco which was carried by a vote of 65 to 62. The remainder of the temperance report was adopted. Dr. Weaver: This Conference goes dowu on record in favor of tobacco. Rev. M. A. Smith: I rise to a point of personal privilege. In the face of my record in the the pulpit and else where I defy any man to say that I am in favor of tobacco". I think this is inopportune. It is bad. taste. Rev. H. L. Atkins offered a resolu tion, the substance of which is: "We recommend that our preachers and laymen should prudently discour age the use of tobacco in all its forms, especially among young people. "That we do all we can to enforce the laws of the state against selling cigarettes to minors." Rev. R. S. Webb" moved to table the resolution. It 'was not tabled. Rev Continued on second page.

WHAT Ml, PEARSON THINKS Will Be Done at The Short Session of Congress. TO CONTEST CRAWFORD'S SEAT He Did Not Mention The Race Riots Except to Say Conditions Are Dif ferent In His Section. Special to Thb Telegram. Washington, Nov. 23 Representa tive Richmond Pearson, of the Ninth North Carolina district, has returned to Washington from Asheville. Mr. Pearson was seen at his Washington residence, which is No. 1716 Rhode Is land avenue. In common with most republicans coining to Washington, Mr. Pearson thinks that the short ses sion will be devoted to legislation of a general character; and that impor tant matters, such as the Spanish treaty, and bills for the Government of Hawaii and other islands added to the domain of the United States during the past few months will go over until the meeting of the Fifty-Sixth con gress. Mr. Pearson is inclined to the WSnef that there will not be an extra namiAn . . 1 . 1 foooiuu ui iiuc uojku uuiijress, unless tne Spanish situation should so change as to make it inevitable. Mr. Pearson was defeated at the last election by for Representative .W. T. Crawford, on the face of the returns by some 200 votes. Mr. Pearson is not inclined to speak about his future programme, but he states that there f will be a recount of the ballots Decem ber 1st, and that he will serve notice of contest on Mr. Crawford after that date, as required by law. In response to an inquiry the Representative stated that he would be in Washington from now until the assembling Congress most of the time, but he expects to re turn to North Carolina early in De cember. During the interview he did not mention the race riots which have occurred in the state, except to say that conditions in his district are dif ferent from those in the eastern portion of the state. Members of the committee from the American Public" Health Association, which called upon President McKinley the other day for the purpose of re questing the president to repeat the recommendations made in the presi dent's message last year, for the crea tion of a bacteriological commission for the purpose of studying the cause and prevention of yellow fever in the United States, believe that the presi dent will accept the suggestions. The Marine Hospital Corps is much inter ested in the movement to secure the appointment of such a commission, and it is believed that during the com ing short session efforts will be made to secure the consideration of a bill in congress providing for the creation of a national board as desired. Dr. Sternberg, surgeon general, of the war department, was seen at the war de partment and he fully indorses the ef forts to secure congressional action, and believes that the president will stand by his former recommendation. While the movement is of greater im portance to the south perhaps than to any other section of the country, the national commission proposed has the indorsement of eminent physicians from all over the country. The com mission is more important at this time than it was a year ago, owing to the recent addition of the new territory to the south of us, which is the natural home of the yellow fever. Such a bac teriological commission, as proposed, if adopted by congress would be of great benefit to the south, 'and would be a long step in the direction of sys tematic work towards keeping the country free from the yellow fever germs. Mr. and Mrs. John Frank, who have been visiting in the vicinity of Wash ington City, have returned to their home in North Carolina. Notwithstanding denials, the author ities at the Marine Hospital in this city, reassert that the death of Archie Miller, which occured at the Hotel Johnson, this city, is a well defined case of yellow fever. One of the as sistant surgeons at the Hospital, stat ed yesterday, that the case was clear ly yellow fever. Post office at Delight, Cleveland county, N. C, has been established. Alfred J. Ducket, has been commis sioned postmaster, at Spring Creek, N. C. Miss E. Ryan, of Asheville, N. Q., is at the metropolitan Hotel,' enroute home from a visit north.

San Francisco, Nov. 23 The Bald win theatre, one of the most important in the city, caught fire this morning and the flames raged furiously. The building is five stories high, built of wood with an outward appearance of stone. It was occupied in large part as a hotel. J. L. White, who helped to save seven women, lost his life. Max Levy and S.allie Hart are miss ing. Mrs. Sharp, of New York, was injured. White attempted to descend by a rope when he lost his hold and fell to the ground. Three hundred and thirty guests were in the hotel. The fire was discovered at 3:15 this morning by the chambermaids, who were sleeping in the upper part of the building near the mansard roof.
