The pastors' conference began yes terday morning at 9:30, Dr. W. H. Cullom, of the chair of Bible at Wake Forest, presiding. There were many of the pastors present, something like two hundred, ami each took a decided interest in the discussions and Joined in the gener al discussions whole-heartedly. The morning session began With a strong talk on "Exposition of He brew 6:4-6." by Rev. Jesse 15. Weatlierspoon, pastor of the church at.Oxford. He went into a discus sion of the impossibles of man and the possibles of God. "Yea,: all things are possible with God," he declared. It was a talk full of gos pel meat and was thoroughly enjoy ed. At its close a motion was made and carried asking Mr. Weather- spoon to furnish a copy of it to the Biblical Recorder, and that they be requested to publish it. The old-time Baptist hymn "How Firm a Foundation," was sung, the voices of the preachers resounding against the walls that made one think of the time when church ser vices were held without the aid of any organ or piano. It was good to DELEGATES AT RIVERS (Special to The Times.) .Washington, D.

STATE PENALTY LAW North Carolina Law Before Supreme Court The Kialit of the States to Penalize Itailionils for Itefusing to Uec'ive Goods for .Shipment In Interstate ('oniinerce, Argued Today llefore the Supreme Court. , Washington, Dec. ti. The right of the states to penalize railroads for ' refusing to receive goods for shipment in interstate commerce was argued today before the supreme court of the United State. The question presented to the court concerned particularly the state of Nortii Carolina. A direct Attack was being made on the con stitutionality of the statute, enacted in lHO.'i, imposing a penalty of $50 a day orj n railroad for every day it refused to accept goods for trans, porlation. The principle involved was before the court in two different cases. One irose out of tne shipment of a car load of shingles by Keid & .Beam, from Ruthet't'ordton, N. C, to ScottSr villo, Tenn. When they loaded the shingles onto a car and asked the station agent at Rutherfordton to ship it to Scottsville, it was declared tliat he replied lie knew of no sucn place. It proved to be a Hag sta tion, on the Knoxville and Augusta Kailroad, to which no published rate existed. After several days delay, the goods were shipped.. No dam' ages were proven to have resulted to the shippers, but they reecived $350 as penalty, Imposed by the sta tute for refusal to receive tho goods. The second case arose out of Mrs. D. h. Reid's attempt to ship house hold goods from Charlotte, N. C, to Davis, W. Va. Na published rate, as authorized by the interstate com merce laws, existed between Char lotte and Davis,; and the shipment was delayed live days before a rate was obtained. A Jury awarded Mrs, Reid $25 damages and $250 as pen alty. In both cases the defendant was the Southern Railway Company. The law Is attacked largely on the ground that it was Interference by, the state with Interstate commerce. ! The. supreme court uf. North Caro-' Una sustained the law as constltu-i tlonal. The court took the position that congress had' not legislated in reference to railroads receiving goods for shipment and therefore that the subject was open to regula- tlon by the states, until congress exercises such a right.

I Coiii,.. nerlof AgriCDlture Graham Reviewslthe Worklof His Depart- mentlFor Past Year COOPERATION IS URGED I Desires That Commissioner, Elected Uy People; and Board Work In Harmony Knows His Authority I nder Law and Will Hew to Une Consideration of Measures Ne cessai ltmoustrution Work In creases Other Matters Set Forth. Jlaj. W. A. Graham, commission er of agriculture, declares in hie an nual report, -which was read today before the state board of agricul ture, that notwithstanding that the longest drouth in the hlsory of the state prevailed in many sections, the .yield ot cotron, corn and wheat wan the largest in the state's hlstoryV I'l-om the Hlue Hldge mountain to lennessee, he says, the corn crop has nexer been excelled; but front kaleigh to Morganton the cotton crop will not average over sixty per cent, Wheat has been fine, genet--ally weighing more than 60 pounds to the bushel. Farmers have purchased little or no corn, but have bought more hay Hian formerly. Farmers generally have raised their own supplies, how ever, and many of them have been able to hold cotton for better prices, speaking of the department's work. Aiajor Graham savs it is recognized as the most efficient in the southern states. in his financial report the com missioner shows that--$102,035. 7S has been expended since June 1st, last. The receipts of the depart inetil trom December 1, 1910, to De cember l, 1'.m. were $209,697.60, and the disbursements for the same period were $211,651.74. Major (iialiam says an annual rather than, a semi-annual settlement of the fi nances would promote the work of the department. . Jspenliing ot tne work of the A. and Al. College and the department. tne commissioner thinks both de- irtnients should preserve their identity, the college teachine the young men and bovs and the de partment showing the mature farm ers how to get the most out of hla eitorts. in this connection he shows how cotton and cornunder the In struction ot state and federal dem onstrators, have increased in pro duction per acre. .Major (irahani quotes a resolution adopted by the college and depart ment boards recommending co-oper ation in experimental work. This action will be approved by the trus tees and the board ot agriculture. I lie commissioner devotes consid erable space to fairs, which he finds have been an improvement over their predecessors. I he commissioner devotes, space to t.ii' various exhibits at the state and county lairs, especially the ap ple exhibits, which attracted so much attention last week.
