Mr. Meadors Vindicated
The Popular Presiding Elder
of Rock Hill District,
against "Whom Charges
were Preferred, Completely
Exonerated by Conference.
Special to Charlotte Observer:
Spartanburg, S. 0., Dec. 15.
?Charges were preferred in the
Methodist Conference this moniing
against Rev. W. I'. Meadora,
presiding elder of the Rock Hill
district, by the stewards of Trinity
station, who alleged tnaladministration
and actions not becoming
a minister of the gospel.
There are two charges, of two
A articles each. The charges grow
W out ol the holding of an election
ol district stewards November,
17, at Trinity sta'ion, on the
Rack Hill circuit. The first
charge says "that Dr. Meadors
did violate his sacred and solemn
duty by refusing to conduct the
district conference in accordance
with the true intent of the discipline
by declining to submit to
the quarterly conference the no
ruinations tor district stewards
until an election to the said office
should be held by the Conference
and further, that, while Mr.
Meadors did not raise objection
to the steward likely to be elect
?d, he still refused tu nominate
J said steward and did, without ex
/ cuse, deprive Trinity station of
proper representation on the
district steward board."
The second charge says: llMr.
Meadors is guilty of improper
words and actions, in that he reterred
to the actions of some ol
^ the members who took part in
the nominations above mention
ei as'capers,' and that he wrong
preaa tne case, knowing that if a
thorough investigation is made,
the accused will win out 111 the
end, and that he would present
evidence that will not he relished
by a great many Methodiflts,
who are in high standing in the
church. Mr. Oreighton has a
strong following, not only among
ministers of the Conference, but
the Methodists generally through$
out the State.
v. 1 V*
fully accused certain members
of laying a trap for him, and did
violate his Christian duty in
failing to bring about a settlement."
The complainants close
their formal complaiut by asking
that their rights be protected by
the Conference and their beloved
Methodism to be vindicated.
In reply to this petition the
Conference lost no time in passing
the character of the accused,
thus completely vindicating him.
Mr. Creighton's Case?Trial
Postponed.
Special to Nowfl and Courier.
Spartanburg, December 10.?
The Rev. O. W. Creighton, against
whom charges liave been preferred
by his presiding elder for
making false statements
against presiding elders of the
Church, will not be tried at this
session of the Conference, if at
aM. The case has been referred
to his presiding elder to pass up
on the matter of a trial if necessary
at next Conference. The
whole truth of the matter, in the
opinion of a great mauy, is that
Mr. Creighton will never be
brought to trial, as it common
talk that those who have thej
matter in hand are afraid to
Robert E. Lee's Advice to
His Children.

Study hard, gain knowledge,
and learn your duty to God and
your neighborhood; that is the
great object of lite.
In your youth you must be 1
careful to ?"> ?
? ,..wvi|/*?l?C J WUl
thoughts, words and actions.
Habituate yourself to useful em
ployment, regular improvement,
and to 'he benefit of all those
around you.
As to reading and music?all
accomplishments will enable you
to give pleasure, and thus exert
a wholesome influence. Never
neglect the means of making
yourself useful in the world.
II you want to be missed by
your friends?be useful.
You know my objection to incurring
debt. I cannot over
come il.
You must patch up your house
and get a sweet wile. You will
be more comfortable, and not so
lonesome. Let her bring a cow
and churn. That will be all you
will want.
Experience will teach you that,
notwithstanding all appearance
to the contrary, you will never
receive such a love as is felt for
you by your father and mother.
That lives through absence, difli
cullies and time. Your own
feelings will teach you how it
should be returned and appreciat
ed.
I hope you will also find time

-v? ivnu huu iujjjiuyo your imnu.
Read history, works of truth,
not novels and romances. Get
correct views of life and learu to
see the world in its true light.
It will enable you to live pleasantly,
to do good, and when summoned
away to leave without
regret.
Do not go to many parties;
preserve your simple tastes and
manners, and you will always
enjoy more pleasure. Plainness
and simplicity of dress, early
hours, and rational amusements,
I wish you to practice.
You must bear in mind that it
will not be becoming in a Virginia
girl now to be tine or fashionable,
and that gentility as well
as sell respect require modern
tion in dress and gayely.
A farmer's life is one of labor
but it is also one of pleasure, and
consciousness of steady improvement,
though it may be slow, is
very encouraging.
It you can do nothing more
than prepare a site, lay out a
garden, orchard, etc., and get a
small house partly finished, so as
to inhabit it, it will add to your
comfort and health. Then, too,
you must get a nice wife. I do
not like your being so lonely. 1
fear you will tall in love with
celibacy.
We must never yield to difficulties,
but strive the harder to
imoii;uiuc tllDUl,
I am clear lor your marrying,
if you select a good wile, other
wise you had better remain as
you are for a time. An imprudent
or uncongenial woman is
: worse than the minks
A failure in crops will occur
occasionally to every farmer,
even the best, with lavorab'e
surroundings. It serves a good
purpose, inculcates prudence and
economy, and excites energy and
presevei ance. These qualities [
will overcome everything.
You are very young still, and
it you are virtuous and laborious
you will acc'4 "plish all the good
you propose to yourself.
I hope that you are becoming
more and mote interested in
making those around you happy.
That is the true way to secure
your own happiness
The larmer's motto should be
toil and trust.
People have iror. to work T?
is creditable to them to do ro;
their bodies and their minds are
benefited by it, and those who
