Many of the members of the confer-pn.-e are not satisfied that the body voted to locate Rev. T. AV. Mansfield, although he requested such action. The presiding elders under whom he had served said he was scrupulously hornet, conscientious and faithful as a pastor; his only fault being that he iras disposed to administer the church discipline too rigidly, and not inclined to be lenient or merciful with the members on his charge w,ho were Ziven to falling. Many good men de flare this Is just where the church and its ministers are making a serious mis take: the permitting of .worldly and sinful members to remain in the 'hureh as such, when they should be yarned, disciplined and expelled if they will not conform to the rules of the church. Mr. "Mansfield was appointed last fontorence to a circuit some 200 miles distant from where he had served, and having :i large family and no( means to ma k i' the long move, and the cir 'n't not havingtpaid over $175 for many years, he did not go to the ap pointment, but went to making shoes for a living.

One of the best of the solid rank-and-file men is T. T. Salyer, of Lowes ville. "He brings up a good report as usual. His excellent wife is also with him attending the session of confer ence.

They both serve mountain charges, and in isplte of collossal pro portions they get around lively over the hills of AA'estern ' North Carolina, as their fine reports prove. No face is more, missed than that of Charles AV. Byrtl, who. recently transferred to Kentucky. It is to be hoped that he will return soon to "North Carolina. All the pulpits In town will be filled by visiting ministers tomorrow, and several will go to Salisbury and Char lotte to preaeh for their former parish ioners. It has been supposed all along that the next conference would be held at AA'est Market Church, Greensboro, but the hustling, progressive mountain town of AA'aynesville is making a strong effort to secure the next ses sion, with good prospects of success.

PRINCETON DEFEATS YALE Poe Saves the Bay for the Tigers by a magnificent Kick In the Last minute of the Game. Sy " New Haven, Nov. 25. AVith about (fifty seconds 'to., play,' the score was ten to six in Yale's favor, and -Prince ton s eleven seemed hopelessly beaten. It was composed chiefly of subs, but Poe, of Princeton, immortalized him self this afternoon by kicking a superb goal from the thirty-live yard line. Which Avon one of the most sensational games on record if or Princeton. It was a magnificent achievement. The ball sailed over the goal posts as straight as though fired from a cannon. The crowd f Or amament "Was dazed, then a scene, followed that has seldom been witnessed. on a football fields Poe was hugged and kissed until hewas almost 4 smothered. r 'Even some of the Yale men joined in the praise bestowed' on him. "' -: Strange to say, while Poe's field goal won the game, it was a superb drop kick by Yale's .half-back, in the first' half that made (Princeton's prospects look slim. From the forty-five yard line Sharpe, of Yale, kicked one of the finest goals that has eVer been seen, at a time when (Princeton had six to five advantage. That made the score ten to six, and it hung there in the balrfhce until iPoe's toe did the work. Had Brown, of Yale, kicked goal from Mc.B ride's touch-down the final score would ; have" been a . tie eleven to eleven. Brown's failure was excusable, as the kick was from a difficult angle. Princeton's first six points were due to touchdown by Reiter, from which Wheeler kicked goal. : " - In straightway football Yale was outplayed in .both halves. Yale's ends were vulnerable. Princeton's backs made their best games around them. Yale's judgmentand generalship were superb, but theJTigers had the b'all in Yale's territory the greater part of the time. Yale " never nut the Prince ton men to. their hardest defence except in one instance, and then. Yale lost the ball on downs. Yale excelled in physi cal condition and was therefore en abled to make a great fight. There, were but two changes made in Yale's! line up, whereas the Tigers were cut to pieces in the second half and sev- eral men na a to ue reureu. - - The game was' replete with sensa tional plays, and at some periods there was no little slugging. The final score was: Princeton 11, Yale 10. Twenty thousand people witnessed the game. Other Foot-Ball Games. Philadelphia, Nov. ' 25.

Most of the journals contlnua to magnify British successes and n:in imize and obscure all news favorably to the Boers. . s' It is no" exaggeration to ay that itj is the confident public belief that the tide has now turned and t'hat General . Methuen will march almost unopposed? : to Kimberley; that General Gdtacre will soon drive the Orange Free Staters across Orange River toward Bloemfontein, and that General Bullet will start within a few days with an invincible force to the speedy; relief ' of Estcourt and XJadysmiih. Opposed to this senseless optimums is the most sanguine, military view of the situation, namely, that General' Methuen must fight a far heavier bat-. tie at-Modder .River than he, fought, at Belmont, and even then relief -of. Kimberley will not be assured; than General Gatacre must prosecute a more difficult campaign against Storm-f berg and .other, strongholds before :ha; can force the Boers back,' and he .must? employ, a large .portion of his force to stfbdue the rebellious.
