Mty iky VOL. XX. NO. 83 METHODISM AND ' HOW IT STARTED NOW HAS NINE MILLION COM MUNICANTS tin Protestant Denomination has Shown more Wonderful Growth than the Methodists There are Thirty Million Communicants- May Unite in one great body. Jbrouicle , In the great Ecumenical Con ference, now in session in Tor onto, Bishop Kilgo. of North Carolina, has taken quite an ac- iive and. conspicuous part and home people have followed his remarks with much interest. The Baltimore Sun has ! made a summary of facts in regard to this conference which we find of absording interest. Prefacing its editorial with "Methodism was born in a great Missionary movement, and for more than a century has gone marching on its way around the globe. From the days of Wesley it has ob served the call to go into all the world and has done its part in bringing nearer the time when the gospel shall be preached to every living creature. Its en listment of men of every land and tongue is exemplified in the Ecumenical Conference now in session in Toronto. Seventeen countries are represented by the i delegates, and the statisti dans assert that the various bodies of Methodists now em brace 9.000,000 communicants. with 30.000.000 adherents under Methodist influence." The Sun says no Protestant denomina tion has shown more remarkable flown than the Methodists, and there appears to be little ground for pessimism in regard to the future. Dr. H. K. Carroll pointed out in an address, at Toronto that in the past decade there las been an increase of but 437.562. or 15 per cent, compared nth 1.261,209, or 33 per cent, in to decade ending in 1891. Bu tbisis only relative, and a de nomination that can show a net acrease of over 400.000, in ten years is certainly moving for lard. ReV. William Williams de clares that "every tenth person o Australia is a Methodist," 'bile the conferences in China, 'Jpan, India. Africa, and other Nssion fields have a member- top of 708.105. 1.444.592 adher ti and 458.165 in the Sunday schools.

WANTS TO KNOW WHAT HE KNOWS $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE RECEIVE FRIENDS PRESIDENT TAFT A FRIEND TO TRUSTS Not a Single Trust Mai H0 ( - - O"" W UVVII rut m Jail by Republicans They vuve to campaign Funds Wicker- snam Was Trust Lawyer Before cabinet Member. Special to The Star. . Washington. Oct. lfi Prsi. oent I aft is demanding to knnw with great bravado, what single case ol combination in restraint. ot trade which oueht to be c.cm demned could n o t be reached under the Supreme court's in terpretation of the Anti -trust. law in the Standard Oil and To bacco trust cases. " There are few who care to take issue with the President The average man v believes that the trusts "could be reached" if the government would set out in good faith to reach them. The vital issue is not whether the trusts "could" be reached. The real important question is: Why is it that not a single guilty trust magnate has been sent to jail, or even called to the bar of j ustice? The answer is that the government does not send trust magnates to jail nor control the trusts because the trusts control the Standpat republican ma chine, and for fourteen years the standpat republican machine, in recognition of campaign fund donations and other favors, has permitted special privilege to name the man to be in charge of the prosecuting machinery of the government. WICKERSHAM TRUST LAWYER. The present attorney general is George Wickersham, whose last act before taking charge of the government prosecuting ma chinery was to draw down his share of a handsome fee paid his law firm by the sugar trust. When a movement was started to bring about a Congressional investigation of the sugar trust. Mr. Wickersham headed it off by having President Taft send a message to Congress advising against the investigation on the ground that it might give im munity to the men higher up and otherwise embarass the ad ministration. Although the trust practically admitted hav mg stolen over $2,000,000 from he government by returning it after the crime was discovered, not a single one of the trusts magnates into whose pockets the $2,000,000 would have gone had not the theft been discover ed, was not called to the bar of ustice, much less punished. Mr. Wickersham permitted an underling secretary and a few dock hands to alone stand the vengeance of the law. When American sugar interests pur chased vast tracts of rich sugar lands in the Philipines in viola- ion of the law; Mr. Wickersham again came to the rescue with an opinion upholding the sale. Mr. Wickersham is now pos ing as the great trust buster. He pretends that he will drive the trusts out of business, and some of the trusts pretend that they take his threats seriously. But the record of the attorney gener al is not one that gives the peo ple any reason; to hope for en- orcement of the law against criminal - trusts or guilty trust magnates, The first thing Mr. Wickersham did upon taking office was to drop important suits against members of the beef trust. His explanation was hat he didn't believe the trust officials "meant" to do wrong. Miss Ellen Corbett, Crand daughter oi Mrs. Lnha Green Receives Hos pitable Southern Home Thrown Open About 100 Present Friday evening the h home of Mrs. Zulia O rppn was thrown open to the many young rrienas ot her grand daughter Miss Ellen Corbett.

No Scoring Shelby graded school football team played the Ne wton graded school there last Saturday and the score stands nothintf to nothing, unless an undecided point makes it a victory for Newton. The local players went over in automobiles Saturday morning and played a fast and snappy game. They outweigh ed the Newton players, but their opponents were quick as light ning. A safety was made by the Newton boys, but under the new rules the referee did not know how to count it." The point remains undecided until he can hear from an authority on the matter. The Shelby boys play ed well, but the long ride through the country tended to weary them. Mrs. Smith Dead Mrs. J. F. Smith, mother of Mrs. W. A.

(By Joe E. Blanton.) Well. Mr. Editor. I just feel impressed to say a few words through your columns if you will permit it. It has been said and is still said by some classes, that the farmers should not fix the price of cotton as they are a class that would not stop in rea son; they would put the price too high and ruin the country Well, let us investigate the ma ter just a little. Would he pu the price above normal price arly more than the other; class would put it below normal? I the farmer would just step down and out of the way. how ; long would it be until our Southern farmers would be roped in with mortgages again? You remem ber how it was a few years ago crop liens by the sack full. But we hope this will never be the case any more. We don't wan to go back to the time when cot ton sells for 5 cents and have our crop roped in mortgages for it don't look good nor feel pleas ant Some gentlemen were talking as we passed them a few days ago. We heard one say to the other, is it not a great thing that the farmers do not know their strength and the reply was. Yes. if they knew their strength the rest of us poor devils might try to buy a farm and go to it. - In reply to this the other one said, Yes. but as long as they stay one in a hill they can be very easily managed. As for organ izing them it is all bosh: that can never be done. Let me say that the Farmer's Union is growing by leaps and bounds. Never has it grow a3 fast as it has far the for the past year. Men are coming in and coming in to stay. It will build up our country and will never bring shame ' to the farmer's name. We think it is best for our country for the wealth to be scattered from east to west. The' farmer as a class has never grown rich from his labors and he does not expect to grow rich, but he is looking and ex pecting sx better future and he sure deserves it. It has been said that it is a long lane that has no turn in it. I think it is true and feel that the turn will be far better.
