VOL. XX. Price 40 CenU a month. CONCORD, N. C, MONDAY, MAY 23, 1910. Singl No. 115 Pints Library THE GENEBJVlftSOlTFERENCE. Work of the Great Body of Metho dists Over Some of the Work Done. JThe Geperal Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has been in session at Asheville, has now About (finished its work and most of the delegates have gone borne. The Asheville correspondent of to . day's Charlotte Observer has the fol lowing in regard to some of the last work done: The woman's memorial was de feated not because the women did not work hard to pass the measure, but probably because the more con servative members of the conference were afraid that it would aid the suffragette -movement. The women are stoutly denying that their meas ure meant anything more than a sincere desire to be of more and bet ter service to the Church. It is generally understood that the old college of bishops with the ex ception of one, Bishop James- Atkins, is not in favor of the change in name of the Church to the Methodist Epis copal Church in America. The ques tion will now beput before every annal conference in the collection and some delegates who voted for the change so as to bring the matter be fore the -annual conference say will vote against changing the name. The subject of the removal of the time limit is stil a favorite theme and the failure of this conference to pass a law alowing a minister to remain so long as his congregation, presiding elder and bishop were- satisfied, will continue to agitate the Church during the next quadrenium and a more pow erful effort will be made at the next session, ot the General Conference to bring about a measure pleasing to those who wish to see the time limit removed. So far as the church is concerned the Vanderbilt University matter is set tled. Many are of the opinion that the subject of ownership and the right of the General Conference to elect trustees will not come up again. Notwithstanding the fact that the . conference discussed for nearly an en tire afternoon the subject of changing the wording of the creed from the Holy Catholic. Cjwrcb Jf& JftSuvihurch of God." no action was taken on ac count of the fact that at the last moment of an afternoon session the presiding officer, Bishop H. C. Mor rison, ruled that the paper was not . drawn up in proper form and for that reason could not he discussed. It is thought that one of the best provisions enacted at this session was the establishing of a -court of ap peals which 'will enable a minister under charges of his conference to appeal his case and not cause him to wait until a session of the General Conference convenes. This court will have full power to either sustain the action of the annual conference or to reverse its findings, thus- placing the man under charges, if acquitted, in full possession again of all his prerog atives as a preacher. One of the most radical laws made was that requiring the bishop to an nounce his appointments at an annual conference before his cabinet of pre siding elders before giving them in open session of the conference. It is claimed this measure will protect the presiding bishop, the presiding . elder and the preachers. Eight Thousand Sing on Capitol Plaza. Saturday's. Washington Herald. .

It is an interesting fact that half of the student body of the University during the past year earned a part or a whole of their way through col lege. Almost two hundred earned their way through by such things as waiting on table, washing dishes, cut ting wood, milking cows, sweeping rooms, setting type, clerking, type writing and a score of other ways. It is a fine tribute to the democracy of North Carolina that the men who work with their hands are among the lead ers of University life. Merit, worth, character and achievement count at Chapel Hill.

" .. , -CLEANING UP THE CITY. First Prize of $25 Was Won by Earl Dayvault-TAll the Boys Given a Prize. The clean-up contest inaugurated by the city several weeks ago came to tf close Saturday night, and all of the 85 contestants gathered at the court room of the city and received their prizes. Not a single contestant was turned away empty handed, but each one who had aided in removing the trash from the various nooks and cor ners in the city was presented wiih a prize. Mr. M. B. Stickley circulated a petition among the citizens asking for money to provide the little fellows who were not winners of the other prizes 'with a prize. Enough money was raised in this way to give each contestant 'who was not a winner of a regular prize a bag of confection eries. Mayor C. B. Wagoner presented each of the prize winners with a prize, and congratulated the boys upon their success and thanked them in behalf of the city for the valuable service they had rendered. Much of the sue eess of the contest is due to the ef forts of Dr. R. M. King and Capt, Q. E. Smith, both of whom from the day the contest started until the close gave a large amount of their time and work in aiding the boys who were hustling for the prizes. Their sys tem of checking the trash and credit' ing it to each boy worked perfectly and there was not a hitch nor the slightest confusion in properly credit ing the trash. There were 5842 bar rels of trash removed this year againts 3000 last year. All the trash was thrown in the big fill in the rear of the First Presbyterian church. The following is a list of the prize win ners! 1st prize, Earl Dayvault, $25.00 2nd prize, O. C. Seamone, $25.00. 3rd prize, Lee Crowell,10.50. 4th prize, M. E.

Many Thousand Eyes Turned on it Here Saturday Night. The much-heralded comet appeared in the western heavens about 8 :10 o'clock Saturday night, and was plain ly, visible for over an hour. The coifnet, while not much bigger than a star could be distinguished from them by its broadened or hazy appearance. Thousands of people in 'Concord saw the comet, about which so much has been printed and all were disap pointed in it. "Is that thing the comet?" and similar remarks were heard on every side. There was just enough of the comet visible to prove that the astronomers were right, and to convince those who had about come to the conclusion that the whole bus ness was a hoax. One of the peculiarities noted, as compared with the appearance of the visitor in the western sky was the fan shape of the tail. In the east this was almost unnoticeable, but now it is much more striking. ' The view of the taL Saturday night is said to have convinced the astron omers that it actually passed the earth. "It is a mistake," said a Washing ton astronomer, "to suppose that the comet rises in the West. No heavenly body does that. As a matter of fact the comet is in the heavens a greater part of the day, but cannot be seen because of the sun. When the latter goes down it will be seen from now on, every night just after twilight, and each night it will be a little higher in the sky, until about Thursday it will be seen for about four hours." GLASS. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Triece are spend ing the summer at Beaufort and Nor folk. Mr. Leonard Castor, who has been real sick with rheumatism, us improv ine slowly. The station here is to be moved in the near future just north of Mr. Will Clkie's house and also another waiting room is to be added to it. Mr. Art h us Bost and Miss Iva Triece were married Sunday. Only a few friends witnessed the ceremony. We wish them a long and happy life. Many from here went on the excur sion' to Greenisboro Saturday. Mr. Jno. Dayvault went and took sick while there. He returned this morn ing not much better. R. Has the Tail Got Away? The failure of nearly all of the as- eomet s tail Saturday night adds ioraet's tail Saturday night adds weight to the theory that the comet has ceased tail production. Prof. Edwin B. Frost, director of rlie Yerkes Observatory, stated that he considered the theory that the comet i ad ceased to create tail matter quite possible. "I have been considering the theory carefully," said Prof. Frost, "and I regard it as likely that the comet may have ceased its activity in producing a tail, as did Borelu's comet in 1903." The Scotland Neck Commonwealth thinks that in Mr. A. W. Graham, of Oxford, it has found the champion pieJBhaser. "It was Hinted some time ago," says the Commonwealth, "that he would be a candidate to succeed Governor Kitohin, but it seems now that he is anxious to reach the pie counter and is willing to take the nearest cut for a slice, and then if he fails in this effort to land safely he will still have the chance to run for the nomination for Governor two years hence." A girl hasn't mneh faith in a mir ror that tells her that she is ugly. It sometimes happens that a fresh guy is mistaken for a man of nerve.
