ProQoodfngo of Third Day
of 17. N. O. Conforonco
No single feature of the pres
ent session of the Western North
Carolina Conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal church,
South, attracts more attention
and interest than is true of the
devotional addresses which Bis
hop Denny delivers at the open
ing of each daily session. This
morning the words to which
Bishop Denny called special at
tention and upon which he based
his remarks were the words
found in the first epistle of John.
Beloved, believe nctt every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they
be of God.
He called in attention in this
connection to the attempt that is
sometimes made and hold other
than the regular services in the
church, and said: "Now and
then we see an attempt made to
turn a church service into a min
strel show," and said that years
ago he decided that he di(f not
want a man around him in time
of trouble who cannot hold the
services of the church correctly.
He said further that upon one
occasion when he was asked to
give the reason why he is not a
Christian scientist his answer
was. "I am not a Christian scien
tist because I am a Christian."
Bishop Denny stated that the
tests to be applied to determine
whether the spirits are of Ggd are
the following: 1. Testimony to
God. 2. Concensus of the church.
3. Apostolic doctrine.
Greetings from M. P. Conference.
Greetings were received from
the Methodist Protestant Confer
ence, now in session in Burling
ton, in reply to the greeting sent
by this conference on yesterday.
The report of the trustees of
the Children's Home was sub
mitted. One item of special in
terest in this report was the an
nouncement that W. O. Good,
pastor of Brevard Street church,
Charlotte, had been elected field
J. W. Harriss chairman recep
tion committee.
agent of the Children's Home,
succeeding J. F. Kirk, who has re
signed that position and will re
turn to the pastorate. Mr. Goode
has been pastor of Brevard St.
church the past two years, and
there is much guess work being
indulged regarding his successor
at Brevard Street.
Question 1 was called again,
"Who are admitted on trial," and
Luke F. Brothers, from the,
Shelby district, and R. L. Fergu
son, from the Asheville district,
were admitted on trial in the
Conference, in addition to those

second year, each member having
passed the examination of char-
on ex-
amination.

H. Weaver' placed in nomination
Central church, Monroe; G. T
Howe seconded the nomination
of Trinity church and stated that
Tryon Street church, the Greater
Charlotte Club and all Charlotte
will extend cordial welcome to
the Conference. The vote was
taken and the majority of the
members of the Conference fav
ored Trinity church. On motion
the choice of Trinity church was
made unanimous. The last time
the Conference was held in Mon
roe was in 1902 and the last time
it was held in Charlotte was in
1904. Trinity church, however,
never has been the host of the
Conference.

he has not yet consented to do so.
A resolution was offered recom
mending an assessment of $200

sonage repairs, ibut after discus
sion the resolution was not
adopted.
J. L. Cunningim, director of
the Correspondence School of the
church, gave some interesting
statistics in the course of his ad
dress to the conference. He stat
ed that at the present time in
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, there are 800 more charges
than there are pastors to fill them,
emphasizing the need for more
young men to enter the ministry
of this church. He thenVshowed
that the number of candidates
for the ministry has "decreased
steadily for the past several years,

Ground Is Broken for
Winona Cotton Mill
D. H. Hall has a large force of
men excavating for the new
Winona Cotton Mill, which is to
be built along the new Southern
Railway Belt Line. The excava
tion and cement footing will be
finished preparatory for the brick
work to commence in early
spring. Mr. Hall has fifteen
teams and a large force of men
on the ground and the work will
be pushed to completion.
The "Murphy"
Since our townsman, Mr. V.
T. Parker has presented us with
a line growth of the Guilford
county Irish potato, wc are
reminded that at pre-sent in
this year when the high cost of
living is making a very immodest
assault upon the pocketbook that
the humble Irish potato is the
most important product of the
vegetable kingdont after bread
stuffs and cereals. The Irish po
tato was not looked upon with
favor when it was first brought
to Europe from Chile by the
Spaniards, indeed it became an
article of general use as food only
when a famine threatened. In
this country, however, the agri
cultural board of every state has
promoted its growth until last
year wc raised something more
than J73.ooo,ooo bushels which
we figure is a trifle over 40 per
cent of the whole vegetable crop
in the United States, being
valued at nearly $100,000,000 (we
take these figures from the gov
ernment 'report.) The Irish po
tato can be grown almost any
where, and it is not only one of
the most nourishing, but one of
the healthiest andwJieapest arti
cl'es of food. The agricultural de
partnient can do no better work
than in educating our people
along the lines of food producing.

FUNERAL SERVICES.
The funeral services over the
remains of Mary Walton, the in
fant daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph 1). Cox were held this
morning from the home on South
Main street, conducted by Kev. J
F. McFarland, pastor of the
Friends church. A large number
of the friends of the family were
present giving an expressicn of
sympathy to the bereaved in their
affliction.
After the services the remains
were taken to Guilford College,
where they were laid to rest in
the family burying ground.
Happy Children
About 25 little children with
bright and happy faces from the
Methodist Home in Winston ar
rived today noon and will take
part in the anniversary service
this afternoon at 3 o'clock when
Dr. Marr will address the Con
ference. There is no more com
mendaible institution in the plan
of Methodism than the Children's
Home.
number will be smaller this year.
He said further that young men
in many instances are kept out of
the ministry because of the lack
of money with which to secure
education, and that the church
should rally to the loan fund
which has been established to aid
those who need this fund in se
curing educational advantages.
The anniversary of the Confer
ence Sunday School Board will
be held this evening and C. W.

Never will you hear such chor
uses as are sung in Slumberland
The furniture men, who are in
session here today have come
from the various cities through
out North Carolina and Virginia.
They are an aggressive, militant
representative class of business
men who are creating new wealth
for their respective states all of
tliem being live w ide awake man-
1 ufacturers.
j For years lumber and other
supplies going into the manufac
ture of furniture have risen in
price, and from year to year sees
the cost of the finished goods in-
j creased. On the other hand the
tendency of the furniture market
has been to show a decrease in
prices. The meeting today is to
reconcile, the price of goods with
the cost of production.

Local Auto Industry
There is much of the mamc
j tne growth of the automobile
j s;iles in High Point there are
aiready 210 in our midst and the
growth is with that 20th century
stride which is interesting to
watch. And my, how the styles
do change! Indeed there are al
ready, a large number of the
KJ13 models here those who
have not bought, are all talking
about the handsome 1913 style of
cars how they will look and run
how they will behave and en
dure, and, last but not least, how
much they will cost. The auto
is almost as fickle as madamc in
her style appearance, the only
difference being that madame
changes her style twice a year
while the auto makes but an an
nual change. In co'or effect,
however, they vie with each oth
er in a riotous manner. It is
truly interesting and profitable to
read about the auto of 1913.
High Point at the end of 1013
will have fully 300 cars.
