That was a forward step taken by 8
the Bithops at their recent meeting by
which each Bishop takes control of *
the Conferences assigned him inline- 1
diately after the adjournment of their 1
meeting. 9
Now let the General Conference take 1
a step forward namely: So change $
the law as to give every Annual Con- a
ference the authority to fix the time c
for its sessions, say, a certain Wednes- e
day in a certaiu month of every year. ?
Let the time be fixed and stay fixed, i13
Let the Bishops adjust their plans ac:
cordingly. ?
However desirable it may be to have 1
a bishop to preside, the advantages at- r)
tending the proposed change would c
more than balance the disadvantages t
of possibly holding a Conference, now a
and then, without a bUhop. ?
The advantages of the change in |
brief, are: r
1. The Conference year would cor- i
Kiannnrl tvlth ihaKolunHoruiMr mnnlH '
be an even twelvemonth. j
2. Preachers and people would s
know when the Conference year would i
begin and end which would enable 9
them to make their temporal arrange- f,
merits timely and advantageously, d
As it is, preachers and people wait '
about six months after one session of Jj
the Conference before they learn when |
the next session is to be held, and cou- o
sequectly whether the Conference F
year is to be shorter or longer than the 9
calendar year?or whether, perchance, G
an even twelvemouth. s
3. Presiding elders, pastors and 1
Stewards could make their appoint- *
merits more judiciously?methodically *
and profitably. a
4. The time for an Annual Confer- c
ence being fixed, it would or should ^
lead to the fixing a time for the preach- a
ere to begin their work and when to
1 close.
Other regularly organized bodies, ec- t
clesiastical and civil, have fixed time** ^
for meeting. Why bhould so important
an organization as an Annual Con- t
ference be without a fixed time for
it's sessic ns? (
In the foregoing nothing is intended g
to disparage our bishops or to undevalue
their labors in an Annual Con- (
ference. With their efforts toward the
betterment of Methodist economy we j
simply desire to unite in working to ^
the same end.

LEENWOC
THE LITERACY CLUB.
A Learned Essay Knocks the Club all
Into a Heap.
The Abbeville Literary Club met last Friday
night at the home of Mr. W. A. Templeton.
Walter L. Miller. Esq., was president,
and Prol. W. F. Moncrelff was essayist. I
The subject of the essay wiih Spencer's Phi- |
losopby, and It was written as a member said (
that nleht. In a dialect with which a major- ,
lty of men are unfamiliar. ' j
while a few ol the members spoke in response
to the call of their Dames bytbepres- (
laeDt, yet, as far as we were able to under- .
stand, nobody discussed tbe essay, or in, any j
special way referred to the subject matter
which was discussed by the essayist, as is {
usual on such occaslohs. ?
One member, however, did venture to ask ,
if Spencer was a believer in evolution, and j
this after listening to the essayist for perhaps t
an hour. c
Tbe fact is, the club was knocked all into a
heap, and dnrlmt its delivery tbe most that ,
anybody would do was to notice the effect r
the essay was having on his fellow-members. J
One member never batted an eye, nor cross- <
ed a "t," all the time, and never took his eye j
off the essayist. His looks seemed to be saying,
"Boys, that is splendid; I am enjoying g
every word of it." , 8
His next door neighbor seemed to look: "I ?
don't care a cent." e
Tbe next had a look which seemed to say : j
"I will take It this time, but I don't want t
anybody to try it again.''
Another seemed to say in acts, which were c
plainerand louder than words: "I give It L
up; I don't care what be says. He oan't hurt s
me" f
Another held his fingers astride his nose
with his bands over his moutii, and his eyes j
shut, all of which was coastrned to mean; j
"If the essasvlst keeps on be may come to r
something that I can understand."
But to a looker on, who knew nothing of t
what was being said and bad only his eyes 0
and his thoughts to entertain him, theserlous ,,
manner of the essayist, all unconscious of the 3
Joke, was a greater excitant of one's rlslbiles
than anything elxe. ?j
Upon the whole the meeting was a pleasant *
one, and the refreshments were of the choicest a
of their kind.
The learned essayist delivered an essay r
which we doubt not. by specialists, would .
have been considered an able paper. The tj
only drawback to It, as far as the club was
concerned, was that the members were not 6
sufficiently Informed on the subject either to v
understand the essay or to discuss the sub|ect,
but this In no way could be construed to u
be a fault of the essayst who seemed to tbor- a
oughly understand what he was writing ,,
about. 8|
The next meeting of the club will be at the 1(
bouse of Mr. J. H. Latimer. 0
OUR HEALTH. ?

Let lis Clean Our Premises and Look G
After Onr Wells. ?
As a large per cent, of typhoid fever comes e
from the polluted water which we take from 0
)ur wells, and as the water Is polluted by e
the filthy drainage from the surface surround- a
Ing the mouth of the well, would it not be p
jood economy to give our back yard a tbor- u
jugh cleaning and sweeping? tl
We have nothing against any doctor, but as r
1 matter of self-preservation, we should avoid a
tbe filth which brings disease, doctors and I
leath. Even if the members of our families n
;ncape with their lives, it is cheaper to clean t<
nn than it. is tn n?v dontors' bills. Thescav- 11
snger will work all clay for less than tbe doc- p
lor will make a single visit, and tbe saving in tl
rood daring sickness will not near equal tbe t<
druggists bill.
Cleanliness Is next to godliness, but filth In ti
tbe back lot will send a man to bis borne in tl
the skies much quicker. o
Don't fool around, bave a member taken w

seaplngs of a cesspool, don't insult your Ma- u

Hon. T. J. Klrklaod In Camden Cbroi
In the course of a discussion, recen
the Railroad tax cases, I promised to r
ralr statement through the local press
question Involved, and this I attempt
lo the best of my ability, upon soinewb
serfect Information.
The State Constitution, Art. 9,Sec. 6 re
bat an assessment or "lands and ti
irovements thereon" shall be made "on
Sfthyear." k
Th? Legislature by Act of 1892 provide
be road-bed, right of way, structures at

Art. 1. Sec. 8Gof the State Constitute
rides that all property shall be taxed "1

orin and equal rale of assessment" ai

eal and personal.
Comp. Qenl. Ellerbe, in his report c
ays: "The Legislature, in my Judg
hould order a re-assessment of real est

ourt to order State taxes paid out o

This decision was a suock to ail or as

The railroads rely upon these gro
'hey contend that real estate is notorii
nd by confession of Comptroller Ellert
essedatbutco to 60 per cent, of Its <
alue, and theirs should be at the same
'bat as the Constitution requires an s
aent on real estate every fifth yearoniy.
ealty should stand as fixed in 1890, and
be act of the Legislature making their
nd improvements personalty for the pu
t taxation, In the face of this constltu
irovlslon, Is void and obnoxious to tin
mendment of the U. S. Constitution wh
lares: "Nor shall any state deny U
lersoti within its Jurisdictiction the
irotection of the laws."
In candor, these appear to be forcible
nents, and respect for constitutional
tees demands their aerlous consider
doney would not be spent amiss to havi
[uestlons finally solved. If the State'
ose, after submitting the matter to the
ist courts, she should surely not turn
he corporations with whom she had
lescended to litigate the controversy an
;el their charters. She has the power Ui
irate them, but could not afford to exen
sxcept with propriety and for most i
easons.
Let us take the South Carolina road,
ias paid upon;the basis of $13,000 per m
jxed in 1890. As the tax returns go this
. r,.ii-iv rpfi*rmithle valuation. The8C'e
s In ii different position. It has paid c
^,100 per mile, having been fixed at 87.
890, and at 810,000 In 18'Jl and 1892. N<
*ere once simple enough to subscribe li
,o build it, and it seems but just that It
je made to contribute liberally in retur
ibould pay at least on tbe basis of 1800.
when we come to a question of vuli
ibould have no prejudice. This road I
,o have been operated without profl
jvenatloss. It Is undeniably a publli
lenience aud builds up (he section tb
which it extends. It was sold recen
jpen market for $.'1,000 per mile, and it
)o certan but that $10,000 Is an extrero
aation. Justice after all Is the end of tl
mdthe courts, and unless It be tlx
whole system Is thoroughly corrupt, we
itlll regard the courts as the best trlbun
adjusting ^he rights of persons and c
it i on b.
So there would seem to be uo groun
uneasiness that I lie contention over tb<
road taxes is being brought In review
the highest and ablest judiciary of the
1'he Staleadministration will not havei
iny censure lor bringing these vital que
to a final decision, the results of whlcl
