FAVORS DIVIDING THE DIOCESE Episcopal Council Favors Idea When $40,000 is Raised. Yorkville, May :3. That this council considers the division nf the diocese desirable when $40, 000 is added to the present bish op's permanent fund," is thE wording of a resolution adopted by the Episcopal diocesan coun cil hee today. This with thE adoption of a resolution provid ing or a special committee tc look into the advisability of elect 'ng a negro suffragan bishop of tihe diocese were the chief mat :ers of interest disposed of by 'e council today. Bishfop Guerry submitted his annua! rep-SOrlt tIMs11 Mrning and it he explai:ed h tpsi'on on he livisiOn of the diocese. He sdid not mean by C'n lee'' 0ed last Ju I -e p- si the (pecial comnittee in s work to raise an endowxmcint rthe A'iscopat i What esaid( h-a reference t the notice 'er ved on the diocese that the mat Ler of division would come up agy-in at the Yorkville meeting. In the letter he expressed him I self as believing that the contin ued agitation of a division of the I diocese was setting back the work of the church and preventing co operation on matters of great im portance which concerned the welfare of the diocese as a whole. He opposed a discussion of the division in advance of an increase 5 of endowment with which to pro vide money to finance the addi tion of diocese. When a division is made feasible by increased en dowment, and when it is clearly 3 the wish of a majority of the lay men of the diocese to divide, Bishop Guerry says he will not oppose the divisions. 5 The special committee which 5 was empowered to raise the en 3 1dowment of about $40,000 for the division reported this morning that they considered it useless to attempt to raise funds after 3 Bishop Guerry had issued kis 5 open letter in June, therefore 5 the conmittee had..not acted. The 'comdfitteenoweverme%and fol mulatd a report which was submitted to the council to-day, a in which it was stated thaE it 5 was their belief that the endoNv 3 ment could be raised and ree -ommended that the council ap point a committee of three with s full power to carry into execu, tion the issuing of coupon bon4s s in several denominations, matur s ing in ten years. This recom mendation was adopted and then this council went -on record as sthinking a division of the diocese desirable when the endowment s of $40,000 is raised. Sad Death of Little Child. *Mr. John Varmadore, who lives at the old Newton Gaston p)lace 3 twelve miles from Chester, lost r his youngest ehild, a boy be tween sii and seven months old, under particularly sad and dis Stressing circumstances I a s t SThursday afternoon. The child I had been taken out into the yard ain its carriage by the- other chil drnfor a ride- and had been letthere by its brothers and sisters, who had boeome absorb ed in their games and gone back to the house. When Mr. Varna s dore came in and inquired_aboul the baby they were playing ir s the house, and it was only aftei sa moment or two. that one of th* S little girls remembered that the s child had been left sin the yard. sWhen the father drew near thE carriage he was horrified to fine s the child's head over the strar that held it in the seat and life extinct.

A &i' t-irl Passes Away. On Frida ight April 28th, as: the dock was striking ten Ethel, McGarity fell on sleep. She had been sick for about three: weeks. From the beginning of her Midness she was critically ill and death was not altogether' unexpected. Her body was ini te-red on Saturday afternoon at five .o'elock in the Presbytetian cemetery. Ethel was the second daughtter of Mrs. L. J. McGarity. She was a bright attractive girl of 12. She was in the 4th grade at school :and always stood at or near the head of her class. Her ovaMe disposition endeared her to ai ther friends, school nwtes and teachers, the kindness to the. girls younger than herself won f,r her the love and esteem of the~ girls in the lower grades. As a pupil she was obedient to all the rules of the school. She was a regular attendant upon the Presbyterian Sunday School and aimays took a great intefest in the school. She is survived by her mother and three sisters, Marie. Jessie May, and Agnes. The loving sympathy of the whole com munity goes out to these in their bereavement. In speainng of Ethel one 01 her teachers said: "She was a good girl and young as she was she had an influence for good. We shall miss her." Col. Crittenden Suicides.

In fact, this is the iost favorable season of the Ihole year for the planting of his, the greatest of all the for ge crops. There is no danger f you planting too much of it. Lt least, that is what those who [ave given it the fullest trial ay. Of course, there are a few 7ho still stay shy of this valuable rop because it kills their stock, s they think, but then their umber is growing much less. Several farmers have spoken > us lately about their planting ut potatoes and pindars for their ogs. This-s a splendid way to aise meat at the' vers lowest 4t and to keep the corn ip the rib for the horses.

GARDEN ANDI What and When to Plar Necessary for Coi At least three parties within the past few weeks have told us that they plant their terraces in iunflowers. which prove a de eided ornament and make an abundant yield of the very finest poultry feed. The value of the; sunilower is very much more ap- 3 preciated out west than here, as r here it is a crop of importance. The example of the farmers re ferred to above might be foliow-, el by all a considerable profit. The ,Uuestion of what to do in reg-rd to re.jantingz. where one has lailea to gtx a stand. is one :ba1 in a large majority 01 m stances can be answered by say ;r that where there is only a arai stad about Lne ocst :hing to ao is to plan: over. Especially is this true ot corn mc! practicaily all other field :?ops except cotton. which is a onderfully resourceful crop and o h,vich frequently mades a very a ine yield with only a partial I ;tand. Replanting corn is about 2 as unsatisfactory piece of work r Rs one ever gets at. v t This is about the season. when nost farmers plant their branch bottoms and other bottom corn, which usually does better when planted not too early. These bottom lands are very valuable, ,vhen they hit all right. a The soia bean is a crop the * value of which the farmers of this section need to learn more abt.

CAPERS CHAPEL 1 The Memorial Services at Yorkville Were Well Attended. Yokville, Mty 2.-Fully seven undred persons were present at' the Church Home Orphanage this afternoon to witness the laying of the corner stone for' the Ellison Capers Memorial hall. This hall will cost abor*~ 510.000 raised by public subscriptions and will be in the nature of a double cottage which will accom modate 32 children of the orphan age. The stone was placed a n d' blessed by Bishop Guerry, who:a reviewed briefly the life of Bish op Capers as a soldier and citizen, as a priest and bishop and as a servant of God. J. Steele Brice made a short talk in behalf of the people of York county,stating that they deemed it a high honor to have a memorial hail of so great a man. He knows of no man, living or dead. more be loved than Ellison Capers, he said. In the soldier-bishop were exeplified the highest ideals of man' said Mr. Brice. He pledged the support of the York county people to the orphanage. Following Mr. Briceecame Rev. .John Kershaw. D. D.. who was the speaker of the occassion.
