THE ENTERPRISE;
Methodist Hoits Here
The Warrenton District Con
ference convened here Monday
night, when the services was held
at 8:15 o'clock. A large number
of delegates arrived on the 6:38
train and were rfiet at the station
by the reception committee, who
were assisted in the assignment
of the visitors to their homes, by
the Boy Scouts in uniform.
The services Monday evening
were very helpful, as the min
isters and delegates told of their
experiences in the Christian war
fare, Rev. D. H; Tuttle, of Hend
erson, leading in a talk full of
gracious words for the Master
and His cause. The services
closed at ten o'clock and the busi
ness sessions of the conference
began at 9 o'clock Tufesday mor
ning with Elder Bumpass presid
ing and with 48 answering to
the roll call.
The failure of Bishop Denny to
attend the Conference was a
great disappointment to the con
gregations here as well as to the
delegates. Important business
calling him elsewhere, prevented
his attendance. The only Metho
dist Bishop who ever visited Wil
liamston the lamented Bishop
Smith, who is remembered here
by every one who went into his
gracious presence. He dedicated
the present Church building.
After the business session on
Tuesday morning, Rev. Mr. Cav
iness, of Warrenton, preached
a very able sermon which made
a favorable impression upon the
hearers. At night, Elder Plyler,
of the Elizabefli City District,
who was a visitor to the Confer-
ence, delivered a splendid dis
course to a large audience. Mr.
Plyer's optimistic views of the
times as relates to the uplift of
the world, were refreshing and
made hearts glad as the man of
God spoke elequently from the
text: "He shall make all things
new."
The number of delegates and
ministers who were here at the
opening of the Conference, was
increased largely on the arrival
of the train on Tuesday evening.
There were plenty of homes ready
for these and their entertainment
was a delight to the people of
Williamston. Two business sess
ions were held Wednesday and
at night Dr. Parker,, of Trinity
College, made an address on
Christian education and appealed
to the Church to support its insti
tutions of learning. After ser
vices, the friends of Trinity Col
lege were asked to remain for
the purpose of forming a Trinity
Association for the Warrenton
District.
Thursday was a very busy day,
and all the unfinished business of
the Conference was disposed of.
By vote the next session of the
Conferenc will be held in Roanoke
Rapids. Thursday nignt, the
closing services were most inter
esting. There were addresses by
four of the visitors, who spoke
cheering words to the hearts of
the congregation. The b nedic
tion was said ami the Conference
of 1913 was over.
Friday morning all the visitors
except a number who had left
previously, departed by the early
morning train. The Church here
and thosfe in other communions
have enjoyed every hour of their
•stay among this people. Such a
gathering leaves a blessing on any
town.

D. A. R. Meeting
The Gideon Lamb Chapter of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution met with Mrs. Mor
rison Bethea on Wednesday eve
ning at 8:30, and spent several
hours of very pleasant and pro
fitable entertainment.
There was an excellent paper
on "Spanish Claims and How
Adjusted" by Miss Annie Lamb,
This paper brought very clearly
to mind the claims of the differ
ent old world nations to the newly
discovered continent of America
which finally became English.
Another very interesting paper
was one which had been prepared
by Miss Marina Whitley and as
she is at present teaching in Wad
nesboro, it was read by Miss
Nannie Biggs. This paper was
on "The Cause of European
Emigration to America in Colon
ial Days."
After the regular program was
completed, refreshments were
served and a very pleasant social
evening spent and thoroughly en
joyed by all present.
In addition to the regular mem
bers of the Chapter there were
present; Mrs. K. B. Crawford;
Mrs. F. U. Barnes; Mrs. John
Cook; Mrs. G. W. Hardison; Mrs.

Evelyn and Lillian Dunning.
They are artists, every one of
them, and delighted the audience
throughout the evening. ' 'Sleepy
Hollow" is filled with stirring
scenes of American life years
ago, and the impersonation of the
different characters showed care
ful training and talent. One of
the most attractive and pleasing
features of the evening was the
singing of Misses Annie May

Though young, they displayed
much talent which pleased the
audience.
After the play ended, those
who love the dance went to the
Masonic Hall and spent a pleas
ant hour, the Aulander Orchestra
furnishing the music. It was a
charming evening for WHliams
ton people and they were glad to
have the Bertis people in their
midst.

Protect the Public
A case of scarlet fever is re
ported in town, and there is some
uneariness on account of
the school children. Diseases
among the children are always to
be feared and to be cautioned
against. Lives are often endan
gered because proper precautions
are not taken. In every town
there is a health officer, and all
suspected cases should be report
ed at once by the attending phy»
sician. If quarantine is neces
sary. let it be enforced rigidly.
There is too much laxity these
days. People are too anxious to
disregard every rule, and trust
to luck to save themselves and
those with whom they may come
in contact. This is an age of
sanitary knowledge and preven
tives, and in nine out of every
ten cases where disease spreads,
it is caused by the carelessness of
IV , •
some one. /
