CREIGHTON GUII??OF IMMORALITY
CASE WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED UNTH
GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Columbia, Dee. ?.-After del ?be
rating all nicht over their verdict
, the trial committee, clothed by tn?
Methodist conference- with full pow
ere to dispose of the charges <?f grosi
immorality brought against Kev
C. W. Creighton, carno to an agree
ment at 7 o'clook this morning, find
lng that the specifications prover
sustained the chargp, and deposing
tho acouBed from the ministry auc
expelling him from tho membership
of the church.
Conference had been kept theo,
retioally in session since Monda)
afternoon, since it had b-en thought
unparliamentary, under Methodisl
law, to adjourn the session or an
nounce the appointments of minis
ters to churches until it should bc
known whether Mr. Creighton would
be restored to ministerial good stand
ing. Many of the ministers whe
have been atteuding the conference
bad gone home, but there was still ?
fair number in the Washington
street ohuroh when Rev.L. F. Beaty
chairman of the trial committee, read
his report. It was received in due
form, and Rev. Mr. Daniel, oounsel
for tho accused, was asked if he de
sired to give notice of an appeal
Ile replied in the affirmative and the
notice was noted.
Rev. C. D. Mann, who has jusl
been elected to the House of Repre
sentatives from Oconoe county, arose
to a question of personal privilege,
The chair told him to state his ques
tion.
"If that roport. is right," said Mr,
Mann, "then three-fourths of this
conference ought to go with Creigh
ton."
A dozen members were on their
feet, calling out that the brother was
ont of order, and tho chair so ruled.
Mr. Mann took his seat and that was
all of the Creighton case. The ap
pointments of preachers for thc
coming twelve months were then read
and the conference was adjournod
until the next meeting, a year hence,
in Gaffney.
The following facts regarding the
case will be of interest :
The charges made against Mr.
Creighton are technically embraced
in the term "immorality." Tho spo
cifio charge is lying and slander, but
Mr. Creighton is not yet convicted,
and even if he shall bo adjudged
guilty of tho charges it will not be
such a reflection on his mora! char
actor as tho general public might,
infer from tho use of the term "im
.morality."
The ease is based on certain arti
e'es appearing in tho Christian Ap
peal, of which Mr. Creighton is the
i ditor and publisher. The particu
lar editorial on which tho accusation
rests was published in the issuo of
November 3, 1904, and is headed
"Rings and Results." The editorial
said : For many years the existence
of a ring in the South Carolina Con
ference has been boldly assorted aud
the charge is believed by many to bo
true." The Particle then disoussed
what is meant by a ring and states
that such a oharge could be proved
either by direct testimony or circum
stantial evidence. The editorial
continues as follows: "We shall con
sider in their order oiroumstances
that show conclusively concert of
action for definite purposes, if not
existence of a combination in the
conference.
"One set of men organize the con
ference, seleot the members of all
committees and so distribute them
selves in the organization that they
are able to keep themselves fully in
formed of everything that takes
place, inspire aotion, shape move
ments, control measures, and bring
to bear aotive influence to promote
A' or defeat any and every action as
T they may approve or disapprove.
The organization of tho conference
represents them, and they are repro
genteel in their organization. They
continue in office and when one of
their number, tor uuy reason, in
forced to retire they select hi? sue
cesser. They exercise the power of
a Kelf-perpelUHting body and thai in
direct Violation of the law of the
church to which they belong.
'^Second. They Bhelve the mon
who, for any reason, ?lo not sympa
thize with and approve their mei Innis
and promote those who mund by
them and support oaoh other in do
ing it."
Th3 rest of the editorial gives
other specifications, five in all, but
the two quoted above are those upon
which the accusation of lying and
slander is based. One of Mr.
Creighton's contentions is that the
methods of securing the presiding
eider's salaries is unfair ana wrong.
In his editorial already quoted he
says :
"Third. They agree upon a method
of foroing up their salaries in viola
tion of the law of the church."
It has not been the custom to pay
the presiding elders fixed salaries.
Each presiding elder receives 15
per cent of the total amount raised
by the churohes in his district for
salaries of pastors. Under this plan,
wh-.Mi a church raises the salary of
its pastor it raises tho salary of the
presiding elder also.
At the last session of the confer
ence a resolution was passed recom
mending that the district stewards
fix the salaries of presiding elders at
stated sums and abandon the per
centage plan. But tho resolution of
conference does not have the force
of law and the boards of district
stewards are not bound thereby.
The influence of presiding elders in
tho district hoards is very strong,
and unless they advocate tho pro
posed change it is claimed that the
change is not likely to be put into
effeot. There are twelve districts
in this conference and each ono of
tho presiding elders is a man of
strong personality and influence.
When the committee was appointed
to investigate the charges at the last
session of the conference at Spartan
burg Mr. Creighton was suspended
from the conference ponding tho de
termination of tho case. Ho has,
however, continued to edit and pub
lish his paper, the Christian Appeal,
at Greenwood, and it is said tho
paper has now about 3,000 subscrib

Keep
Your Nerve
It is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. Thc
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force ; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
"I take pleasure tn recommending
Dr. Miles' Norvtne to those suffering
from nervous prostration, lnsomnln
and melancholy. After several
months suffering" from above diseases
J tried this medicine and found Imm?
diate relief. It soothes and strength
ens tm nerves, chases away tho
gloomy au? depressing thoughts and
gives thc suf'eror renewed strength
and hope. It la a superb nerve re
storer."
