A Good Shot.
Amonp the first official acts of the
? J -1J
new mayor ana atueruicu ?0; n?r
passage of a traffic ordinance,intendk
ed mainly, we believe, for the guidance
of automobile owners and drivers.
and as a measure of safety for
the citizens of the town, and others
who use the town's thoroughfares.
It is a good shot the mayor and
aldermen have made,whether it hits
the bull's eye or not. We can hardly
hope for this, however, as the town
is not able to maintain a policeman
day and night at every street crossing
within the corporate limits, to
catch and round up those who seem
to think it smart to violate an ordii
nance.
It is good because there are many,
a majority of automobile owners, in
font irKn npr>H nnlv to be advised of
1 CAV, b , Tf (IV MV vv. ? _ _
the rules and regulations governing
the use of such machines, and who
are ready and willing to acquiesce
in the observance of the same.
The perpetual joy-riders and speedsters
who race through the streets
day and night, causing their cars to
make all the hideous noises it is possible
to force from them, will have
to be shown. A few arrests among
this class of chauffeurs, accompanied
by a stiff fine, will probably be required
to convince them and others
of their ilk that the ordinance referred
to and published in this paper is
a reality, and not to be regarded
lightly.
CONFERENCE IN ANNUAL SESSION
Bishop Chappelle Presides at Meeting
of Colored Ministers Here.
The Palmetto Conference of the
A M E church convened in its seventh
annual session in Bethel A M E
church here last Monday morning at
9 o'clock and remained in session
during the week.
Right Rev William D Chappelle,
D D, bishop of the Seventh Episcopal
district, presiding over the conference.
Bishop Chappelle opened the
conference with religious exercises,
conducted by Drs L R Nichols, J E
Beard and Rev T J Miles, the three
presiding elders. The bishop read
and commented at length on the 3d
chapter of Philippians, closing with
a strong appeal to lift up a standard
omnncr thp nPODle. BishOD
Chappelle's discourse was heard with
marked attention by the many who
had turned out to witness the opening
of the cenfeeence.
The work of the conference during
the week covered a wide range
of labor and many interesting reports
from the pastors and presiding
elders were heard.
The Rev S P Bruington, pastor of
(hp Rethe! A M Ecliurch, Kingstree,
evidently put forth indefatigable efforts
in the task of entertaining thev
conference in his field of labor. He
has met the situation bravely. The
size of his church was no novelty to
the members of the Palmetto Conference
compared with the magnanimous
heart evinced by him.
The annual sermon preached by
the Rev J B Alston, of the Pee Dee
circuit, and the welcome address by
the Rev G T Harmon, pastor of the
local Methodist Episcopal Church.
South, were the leading features 01
the opening sessions of the conference.
The Rev J B Alston delivered
a powerful discourse on the increase
of Christ's kingdom.
The Rev Dr T B Nelson, pastor of
Emanuel church, in Charleston, at- J
tended the conference. Among other
ministers present were Revs A W
Timmons, J P Pendergrass, L E
Logan, G L Witherspoon and L
Hemingway, all of the Columbia
and Northeast conferences.
The conference consumed consid
erable time in criticising the management
of the AM E book concern
in Philadelphia, charging that the
Rev Dr R E Wright, Jr, editor and
manager of the Christian Recorder, 1
published by the concern, was not
treating the Southern wing of the
church with fairness, and that in regard
to the fifteen bishops of the
A M E church in America and foreign
fields Dr Wright is continuing
to show unwarranted prejudice towards
Bishop Chappelle, the head of
the Seventh Episcopal district, embracing
five conferences in South
Carolina; that he is dominated by
certain individual influences in Philadelphia
prejudiced to the interest
of Bishop Chappelle because of the
latter's Southern birth and training.
It was pointed out that Bishop
Chappelle's appointment to South
Carolina by the Episcopal committee
at the general conference two years
ago did not meet the approval of
the Northern members of the house
of bishops, whose choice was one of
British birth, and that Dr Wright is
being schooled in his newspaper tactics.
The discussion in the conference
had the color of an indignation
meeting.
The Rev J E Heard, presiding elder
of the Kingstree district; the
Rev J H Chestnut, of Bethel church,
Georgetown, and the Rev L F Alston,
of St Luke's church, in Charleston,
were elected a committee to
draw up a set of resolutions and
memorialize Dr Wright on the subject.
Dr Robert Weston Mance.
president of Allen University, was
the principal speaker at the educational
exercises Friday night. He
was heard by a large audience, and
the sum of $500 was raised for the
benefit of the school.
During the session the visiting
pastors and laymen were entertained
by the colored people of Kingstree
1 ' ' vl. 3
and surrounding community, anu
i much praise has been heard relative
i to their generous hospitality. The
J conference adjourned Sunday.

Praises Mr Boyle's Stand
Mr Editor:?
It makes us so glad to read and
know we still have such men as Mr
T W Boyle?men who do not live for
self alone?men who can see and
realize the principles of justice to
others, and who have the backbone
to express it. Upon such men the
prosperity of the future generations
of this land and county rest. Yes,
Mr Editor, scores of us know that it
is nothing less than discrimination
to the detriment of future generations
to bottle them up in this lizard,
illshaped plot of a new county?about
fyur miles wide at the
tail end and 35 or40 miles long,with
no hopes of ever getting it bettered.
Oh! they say, "Help us out. Vote
with us, and some day in the future
we will let you cut away from us
and form a county down there." I
wonder if they think that we are i
fools enough to believe such?when
we know that we have got to leave
450 square miles in the old county,
and she has only that to begin with.
I have been repeatedly told by those
near Lake City, who favor the new
county, that if they were down
here, situated as we are, that they
would oppose it to the end. And
thank heaven some of the men there
are now opposed to it. feeling about
it as Mr Boyle does. But you know.
Mr Editor, that spirit of greed and
grasp, no matter how you get it,has
about ruined this old world, and has
plunged it into a world-wide war?
for we read that it was this which
put Genmany to fighting?she wanted
more of the earth. But thank
Heaven we have a few Boyles, and
we also have the medicine to kill
Rutledge county the second and last
time.
