Now 235 Pastorial Charges in the Elev en Districts. i Shelby. Unusual difficulty was ex perienced, in making up the list of appointments of the Western North Carolina Conference here in the last day of its twenty-fifth annual session. It was expected that the appointments would have been completed Saturday might by Bishop R. G. Waterhouse and his cabinet and it required an all morning session Monday and the cab inet was in session from 8 o'clock imxil noon. In the absence of the bishop. Rev. Dr. J. H. Weaver, pres ident of Emery and Henry College, Virginia, presided over the conference which was opened at 9 o'clock with devotional exercises, conducted by Dr. J. C. Rowe. . The financial report of the statis tical secretary shows 11 districts and 235 pastor charges. There was paid to preskfitg elders during the year just closed $20,532, and to pastors 1181,376 and for all purposes $584, 652. This is an average of about $6 per member. It gives an average salary of $S25 throughout the con ference and has 209 parsonages which the preachers occupy, free of charge. ReidsvUle was decided on as the next meeting place over Gastonia which put in a strong bid for the conference in 1915. After the division vote the selection was made unani mous by an "aye" vote and a num ber expressed their favor for Gas tonia in 1S16 but Doctor Weaver, presiding, said it was too early to plan that far ahead. An entirely new organization was perfected, known as the Asbury Mounting Brotherhood with C. S. Stone president and E. A. Cole secre tary and treasurer, both of Charlotte. The purpose of this organization is to secure horses for the circuit riders cf the conference.

The constitution provides, Article 9, that: ' "The membership of the state con vention shall consist of all such dele gates as may be sent by bodies in sympathy with the objects of the Jeague and by other persons attend' Ing who shall also sympathize with its objects." Therefore, Sunday schools, young peoples' societies, local churches, law and order leagues, law enforcement organizations, W. C. T.

In addition to this, all other persons of the state who are In sympathy and accord with the work of the Anti-Saloon League are entitled to membership in this con vention. Mr. Davis says that all of these organizations will be reached and urged to send representatives. The matters of prime ; importance before this convention will be a law that will relieve the state from tk present jug trade, and the Sheppard Hobson. resolution now pending In Congress, which resolution will sub mit national, constitutional prohibi tion to the states.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That , Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple Gathered Around the State Coitol. Raleigh. Supt. J. S. Mann of the State Pris on was unable to say what effect the receivership for the Watauga & Yad kin Railroad as a' part of the proper ties being developed by the Grandin Lumber Company will have on the work of state convicts in . the con struction of this road. The work by the convicts is in compliance with legislative mandate, the state provid ing for the convicts and taking stock in the railroad as compensation, the railroad company merely providing the camp, quarters and tools used. Thirty-eight additional convicts were sent there from the 220 turned back on the state by the company developing the power plant at Whit ney on the Yadkin River, for which the prison management was receiving $1.50 a day. This makes a squad of 50 working convicts that the state has at woTk on the Watauga & Yadkin. There was much comment in state offices on the fact that the . manage ment of the Watauga & Yadkin River Railroad ,charges up to the effect of th"e Justice interstate freght rate act the disaster that has come upon the road, alleging that the long and short haul clause cut them out of -half the business theretofore enjoyed and put the credit of short-line roads generally in this state "on the blink." The re clevership was created in Asheville by Judge Boyd of the United States Court. Officers, of practically all the short line roads in the state, It will be recalled, have a special legislative committee at work in preparation for a vigorous demand to be made on the next legislature for relief from various effects of the Justice act. North Carolina Wins Boundary Suit.' Washington. The dispute between the states of Tennessee and North Carolina over their boundary was de cided by the Supreme Court in favor of North Carolina. The dispute arose over the ex"act location of the state boundary aar pro jected by a commission in 1821; Both states laid claim to some forty thous and acres of mountain timber land near Slick Rock Creek and for years each state has imposed taxes on the lands. Justice McKenna, in announcing the court's decision, said that after careful consideration, of all the argu ments and the evidence, including the usual amount of conflicting expert testimony the court found the line to be as claimed by North Carolina. The Supreme Court of the United States is the only court that has juris diction in a cohtroversy between two state, and this suit was brought to the Supreme Court of 1 the United States by Attorney General Bickett about five years ago. The court ordered testimony to be taken, and this was done at many points, both in North Carolina and Tennessee. The evidence covered about 2,000 pages 6f printed matter with some 60 odd maps. The property in controversy Is es timated be worth something over $2,000,000, ; and the people of North Carolina will be gratified that the con tention of the state with respect to this property, has been sustained at every point. ' Stork at Governor's Mansion. The 6tork visited the Governor's mansion a few days ago, and left a junior Governor, a bouncing boy, Locke Craig, Jr., upon whose arrival Governor Craig is being showered with congratulations. Mrs. Craig and little son are doing well. Observe Tuberculosis Week. The State Department of Health is pressing with increasing vigor its campaign against tuberculosis through the observance of the last week in November as Tuberculosis Week and through special sermons and other ex ercises on the last Sunday in Novem ber in all the churches in the state. The department has written all the pastors, urging that they have ser mons on tuberculosis and giving appropriate . data on which they can build these dicourses and impress their people on this subject. Leaf Tobacco Sales for" October." The report of leaf tobacco sales of the North Carolina markets issued by the state department of agrlculutre shows 62.901,881 pounds sold during October with 58,752,605 during Octo ber, lS13r The sales first-hand for he farmers during the month just closed aggregated 57,064,300 pounds. Forty eight markets reported and Klnston led with 7,466,027 pounds sold first hand: Greenville second, with 6.3334 -983; Wilson third, with 5,425,164-ftlMton-Salem fourth, with 4,57S.13i. Over 200 Convicts for Railroad Work! The big squad of . state convicts averaging from 200 to 220 that have been hired out by the state prlaon'e management at $1.60 to $1.75 a day on the Whitney development work are to be returned to the prison at onee and will be distributed among several of the railroad and turnpike construction enterprises that are re ceiving aid through this prison labor in exchange for stock in the roads. To this end the council of state In special session recently directed Supt J. S. Mann of the prison to distribute these convicts between the Bat Cave Turnpike, the Watauga & ' Yadkin Valley and the Elkin & Alleghany Railroads as he may find most ex pedient. This action followed a formal no tice from the contractors that the use of the convicts would be discontinued at once as conditions had developed that made it impracticable to use the convict labor further in this work. WTiUe it is conceded that the Euro pean war conditions have had the ef fect of necessitating curtailment of the work, ttfe development being largely through French capital, it is also explained that the work at Whit ney has reached the state of de velopment that convict labor would now come in competition with free la bor and the prison management does not care to stand for such competi tion. Masons and stone workersare understood to be largely necessary now in the work. ' ' The distribution of these 'convicts that have been working at Whitney among the railroad enterprises of the Watauga & Yadkin Valley, the Elkin & Alleghany and the Pat Cave Turn pike will mean very muchxmore rapid progress for construction ' work of each, although it will mean that in the place of the cash revenue received for their labor at Whitney there must now be taken only stock in the sev eral railroad enterprises for the labor expended on each. , $100,000 in War Revenue Stamps. Collector of Internal Revenue J. W. Bailey has ordered $100,000 In war revenue stamps as a starter for be ginning the collection of these spe cial taxes December 1. And it Is. stat ed in the fevenue headquarters here that there Is every indication that this war revenue will run considerably in excess of all other annual revenues heretofore collected in this state. A special feature of the situation, too, is that in all cases where those liable for these war taxes fail to make their returns by December 1. there is a provision that they must pay a penalty of 50 per cent in addition to the regu lar tax. The war revenue taxes cover a wide scope of subjects that are nu merous in this state. There is the tax on capital and surplus of all banks, tax on all dealers in manufac tured and smoking tobacco, taxes on numerous lines, of drug stocks, taxes on all billiard and pool tables, taxes on all notes for borrowed money and on deeds conveying lands.
