Pritchett, D. D., mission ary Secretary of the church, delivered a nne address at this session, iiis s; ee(h was one of the strongest made during thtUonference. Rev. G. F. Kirhy, President of Weav erville College, made a most encourag- lug report of that institution. A report oi liellwood institute was read by the chairman of the board of trustees, which shows this school to be in a good condition. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Rev John J. Tigert, D. IX, editor of the Bi-Monthly Review, preached a power ful sermon to a crowded house. At night the annual Sunday school anniversary mass meeting was held. The principal speaker of this meeting was Rev. James Atkins, D. D., the Sun day school editor of the church. He is one of the brainiest men in the whole connection. THIRD DAY. un Friday morning devotional exer cises at the opening of Conference were conducted by Rev. J. E. Gay. M. A Smith, chairman of the com mittee of investigation in the case of J. A. Green, announced that the commit tee find a trial to be necessary and the appointment of a committee was re quested. Bishop Key announced the following committee of trial: J. C Rjwe, chairman; R. G. Barrett, R. H I'arker, C. M. Pickens, J. A. Cook, W M. Bagby, J. II. Brendle, W. II. Willis, G. W. Callahan and B. Siler. J. W. Strider, L. T. Mann and J. P, Reynolds were referred to the commit t:e on Conference relation? for the superannuated relation, and R. 8. Abernathy to the same committee for the supernumerary relation. In answer to the question, "Who are re-admitted? Dr. Brooks announced t ie name of D. Vance Price, who comes with the proper recommendations from the Abingdon district of the Holston Conference to this Conference, asking admission. When the name of Rev. T. W. Mans field, of the Burnsville circuit, was called, quite a discussion ensued, de cidedly the most animated of the Con ference this year. Last year Mr. Mans field was appointed to the Burnsville circuit, in the ABheville district, but he did not go to his work. When his name was called Dr. Dan Atkins, his presiding elder, announced this fact. Mr. Mansfield then spoke and ex plained why he did not go to his ap pointment. In substance he said: "I was appointed to the Burnsville circuit, but I did not go to it because I found out that it would not give me and my family, consisting of my wife and three children, a support. It does not give more than $150 or 1175 a year and I fail to understand how any cabinet could send a man, with a family to sup port, to such an appointment. In jus tice to my family I could not go there, for if I went it meant debt and my wife would stand over the wash tub 52 weeks in a year before she would be willing for me to incur debt. I wrote to Bishop Fitzgerald and to my presiding elder of my decision and neither of these cen sured me for my decision. I did not go to Burnsville, but in six days after Conference J was Mtlrri in hllHinfiaa in a condition to support my family. I love the Methodist Church and her people, but if she cannot give me a sup port, I will have to look elsewhere for it. This lack on the part of the Burns ville circuit and other charges to pay their pastors is the fault of -the people, and I claim the principle is just as bad to owe a preacher as to owe any other debt. I hardly know what to say, but I believe I will say give me a location." After some discussion it w is decided to giye Mr. Mansfield a location. In the afternoon Rev. J. N. Hug gins a transfer from the Missouri Con ference, preached an excellent sermon, and at night the Epworth League an niversary was held. Rev. Dr. Tigfrt delivered the address and afterward took up a collection for Board Epwortli 8chool of $233.12. FOURTH DAY. The devotional exercises Saturday morning were conducted by Rev. N. K. Kicbardson. After some routine work Dr. J. C. Kilgo, of Trinity College, addressed the Conference on the subject of education. The Doctor's address was enjr of usual power, and was eagerly listened to throughout. Rev. P. J. Carrawav. Dresidinz elder of the WinBton district, stated that it was his painful duty to do something that had never fallen to his lot before, namely, to prefer charges against one of bis brethren. He said further that early in the year complaint had been made to him concerning a sermon preached by Rev. W. C. Wilson, of Burkhead church. Winston. He re quested a committee of investigation and the bishop appointed on this com mittee J. J. Kenn, T. W. Smith and L. E. Stacey. in the afternoon R?v. Dr. G. G. Smith, of Georgia, preached a fine Ber- mon.and at night the missionary meet ing was conducted by Rev. W. E. Tow son, a missionary to Japan.

Rowe, chairman of the commit tee of trial in the case of J. A. Green, announced that the committee was ready to reportr The charge again t Mr. Green was immorality two of the specifications beiug failure to pay cer tain debts incurred and the other speci fication being failure to keep his prom ise to pay these debts The report of the committe was as follows: Your committee of trial to whom was referred the case of Rev. J. A. Green, to be tried on the above charge and specifications, after prayerful consider tion of the charge and each specifica tion, find the first specification sustain ed. The second specification was also E. W. HARRIS, Proprietor, REIDSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. Our market is novop.:n or all grades of tobacco.

But notwithstanding the above find ing, in consideration of the peculiar pressure that came upon Bro. Green during his pastorate at Mocksville, growing Out of extraordinary family af fliction, the whole financial weight of which fell upon him, and was calculated to produce a state of mind that was abnormal, your committee feel inclined to modify the sentence and recommend simply that he be suspended for twelve months from all ministerial functions. The following young men were recom mended and admitted on trial into the Conference: A. II. Wbisuer, P. T. Durham, J. Y. Farrington, J. W. Bradley, T. A. Bikes, C. H. Caveness, E. Eaves, A. F. Stanford, J. F. Bivins, J. H. Barnhardt, C. P. Goode, J. J. Ha vener, R. M. Courtney and J. C. Keever. Rev. D. Atkins, chairman of the committee appointed to consider the matter of incorporating Rutherford College as a conference school, reported that the committee recommended that the Conference buy this property and incorporate it as a pecondary school, not a college in any sense a rival of Trinity College, but to serve the purpose of a preparatory school. After a spirited discussion the report was adopted with the following amendments: 1. That in the purchase of this property no debt be involved. 2. That a chain title to the property le srcuml. The report of the board of education was read and and adopted. This report shows all of the educational institutions connected with the conference to be in good condition. The board recommend ed the appointment of Rev. S. B. Tur rpntine as local secretary and agent of the twentieth century fund in this Con ference. The last General Conference ordered that a tund be raised throughout the church, averaging $1 per member, to be known as the twentieth century educa tional fund. This gives to this Con ference the allotment of $70,000 to be raised before January 1, 1901. Bishop Key addressed the Confer ence on the Twentieth Century Fund, and askad for a collection toward it. In a few moments the sum of $10,185.00 had been raised. Mr. J. M. Odell, of Concord, and Mr. J. A. OJell, of Greensboro, were the largest contribu tor, each giving $1,000. At the afternoon session Dr. Jas. Atkins presided in the absence of the Bishop at the cabinet meeting. The report of the standing committee on the Epworth League was read by W. L. Sherrill and shows that during the I year 18 Epworth Leagues have been or ganized in tne uonterence, wun a totai number of members of 458. The report of the joint board of fiuance was read by J. S. Martin, chairman, after which the funds for Conference claimants were distributed. The Coo Mill CO., HFW VOOK. ference was assessed $5,000 for this pur pose for the coming year. The assess ment for foreign missions is $14,000 and that for home missions is $3,000, Both of these reports were adopted. The committee On investigation, ap pointed in the case of Rev. V. C. Wil son, made the following report, through J. J. Renn, chairman : The first item in the bill of complaint had reference to the alleged ase of im proper words and was a matter for the presiding elder and had already received his attention, according to the provis ions of the Discipline. And the one other item relating to certain funds was carefully considered by us with the accused and the accuser face to face, the result of which is that the accused and accuser agreed to m et at an early date for the pur)ose of set tling the whole matter. We, therefore, report that no trial is necessary, and do moye that the char acter of W. C. Wilson be passed. The committee on books and perio dicals made its report through the secretary, F. L. Townsend. This report recommended Tne Christian Advocate, of Nashville, The North Carolina Chris tian Advocate, The Epworth Era, The Epworth News and other connectional literature very highly.

This re port showed the following interesting figures for the conference : Number of local preachers 190, num ber of members 71,874, a gsin of 1,242 over last year.
