Several communications were then read lrom the con nectional officers of the church, and, after reading, were referred to the oroner Conference boards and standing committees BishoD Morrison urged the members of Conference to give heed to the reading of these communications, saying this is an important part of thfi, busi ness of the Conference Several visiting ministers were introduced to the Conference, one of these being ReV W. E. Towson, who. has been a mis sionary in Japan for a number of years, and who is now at home for a year of rest and re cuperation.

Slow eating will solve ouc- ha'.f the problem of ill health. Those who suffer already with indigestion and weak stomach cau with care and the use of Mi- o-na stomach tablets restore their digestion to a healthy condition, so that they cau eat what they want at any time without fear of distress or suffering. After a few days' use of Mi o na stomach tablets, the head ache, dizzy feeling.-drowsiness, bad -taste in the mouth, coated tongue, nervousness, sleepless ness, distress after eating all these symptoms of a weak stom ach will disappear, and perfect digestion and a good skin will show that the vital machinery is once more running smoothly. -Take a little Mi-o-na tabltt before each meal so that it will stimulate the digestive juices and give strength to the storu ach, and then it will take care of the food that is eaten, without indigestion and the unpleasant full feeliug with which so mat y suffer after meals. J. H, Kennedy & Co. have so much confidence in the power of Mi-o-na to cure indigestion and all stomach ills that they give a guarantee with every 50 cent box to refund the money if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. 815.

In addition to those already mentioned, Doctors II F. Glenn, Frank Wilson, of Gastonia and Dr Baxter Hunter, of Kings Mountain, were in the city, Mr. Charles R. Doggett, the popular proprietor of the Cen tral Hotel, had a narrow escape Sunday night by reason of the accidental discharge of a nistol. presumably the property of Mr. Will Carroll. The particulars of the unfortunate affair are as follows. Mr. Carroll had been sitting in the lobby for several hours and had dozed off to sleep. At about ten o'clock, Mr. Dog gett went over to where he was sitting, touched him on the arm and suggested that he re tire. He left Mr. Carroll still sitting in the chair, turned and walked towards the fireplace. When about six or eight steps away there was be ud the sharp crack of a pistol, the whiz of a bullet, and Mr. Doggett wheeled around excla'tniiig, I m snot. It is supposed that when Mr. Carroll arose from his chair that the pistol dropped from his pocket or from the chair where t had probably worked from his pocket while he slept When the pistol struck the floor and was discharged, it can be seen where the bullet first Dlowed a ittle furrow on the floor tberi glanced and pierced Mr. Dog gett's arm. The bullet, which was a 38 calibre, entered just below the elbow, penetrating the arm and lodging just Deneatn the surface. Physicians were quickly summoned and after probing, the bullet was located and removed as above stated While the wound is a painful one, it is not considered serious. Many psople are planting fruit trees now. DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES SICKNESS Modern People Have Many frames for Same Diseases, According to New Belief. Does human health depend on one organ alone? Thl3 question is becom ing widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first adTanced hla theory that the stomach is the true seat of lite and all health dependent upon it. Mr. Cooper, who has met with re markable success in the sale of his new medicine, believes that the stom ach. ia responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: .1 am asked time and again to toll way my medicine has made such, a record wherever I have introduced It My answer always is, 'because Xt restores the stomach to a normal condition.' No one will deny that today there are more half-sick men and women than ever before. Nothing critical seems to be the, -matter with them. They are JustfialfHHck most of the time.

The following from the Ashe ville correspondence of The Charlotte Observer of Wednes day will be of interest to our readers: The case of Urris Eldredge against the Bessemer City Cot ton Mills and John A Smith has ended before Judge Boyd in United States Circuit Court in a victory for the mills. The de fendants set up a counter-claim to the claim by the plaiutitl of a judgment for $5,000 and alleged that in fact the plaintifi was indebted to the defendauts. The plaintiff alleged that it had secured a judgment for $5,000 in New York and it was on this that it sued. The defendant contended that this judgment was not valid. The jury so held and further held that the plain tiff to the action was indebted to the defendants in the sum of $3,144.43. Judgment for thisj amouut will be rendered and presented for signature of the court. sound digestion. That Is why my med icine is selling at such a tremendous rate.
