SOME METHODIST MATTERS. Proposed Division of 8. O. Conference Still Finds Opposition. (Cor. News and Courier.) Spartanburg, Oct. 2 4.-The re port is current among Spartanburg Methodists that Rev. A. D. Betts, of Conway, will ask the South Carolina Conference, when that body meets in Sumter November 2."), to appoint him publisher and editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, to succeed Rev. S. A. Nettles, who will sever his con nection witli the publication on Janu ary 1st. ' Discussion is already,under way as to what effect the division of the Con ference will have on the management of the Advocate and as to how the ex pense of publishing the paper will be met. The suggestion is made here that the expense be defrayed hy a conference assessment, with the pro viso that tile Advocate be sent into the home of every Methodist In South Carolina. This would give it a circu lation of $2fi,OOO and would greatly enlarge the scope of i s usefulness, according to those in fi vor of the plan. With the division of the Confer ence, the Southern Christian Advo cate, with Wofford College and Ep worth Orphanage, will be jointly owned by both of the new Confer ences, it is said. The question as to the territorial line of division between the proposed new Conferences is attracting atten tion. Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wofford College, In an interview on the subject, said that of the various plans of division proposed he favored one which would include in eaeh new division about equal areas of so-called "up-country" and "low-country," as he thought South Carolina rather em phasized tills "up-country" and "low country" idea too much in the past. Dr. Snyder said he had opposed the | division of the conference when the matter first came up and that he still held to hi j original sentiments. Dr. Snyder said that in his opinion the conference had not reached such alarming proportions as to necessi tate such a division, which would en tail a considerable multiplication of the church organizations without a gain in efficiency to make it profita ble. Opponents' of the division of the conference, which was decided upon last year, still hope to block the plan. They p.opose to use the controversy over the dividing line as an instru ment with which to cause the confer ence to abandon the project. ikMifne.ss Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

Writes of "Recent Unpleasantness' on Street* of Walhalla. Wo clip the fellowing from the An derson Mall of Saturday last relative to the fight which occurred on Tuga loo street, near Main, at the s'de en trance to Mrs. A. V. Duncan's store last Wednesday afternoon. This ac count is important in Oconee in order that certain rumors may he set straight, one or which is to the effeet that it was Judge Memminger who was assaulted. The story in the Mail is as follows: "Constable Smith, of Sheriff Ash ley's office, has received a letter from his son, Clyde Smith, official court stenographer, attending court in Walhalla, telling of an assault made i on bim by a man named Duncan. "Clyde Smith was walking along aj street of Walhalla In company with.I Judge Memminger, being on their way to dinner. The judge was read ing a newspaper and Mr. Smith was | looking over the judge's shoulder at I the newspaper. Without any notice, Mr. Smith writes, the man named ; Duncan raised a bottling works crate and came down on Mr. Smith's head and shoulders. Mr. Smith saw a | shadow of something descending up on him and he threw up his arm. j whiuu uciitii. t:U some of the weight i of the blow r.'O' i his head. Mr. Smith i then waded ii to Duncan, knocked him down and gave bim enough inju ries to cause him to go to a doctor for repairs. Mr. Smith says that he struck the man with his bare fists; that the report heard on some sides that he used the butt of a pistol on Duncan is untrue. "Mr. Smith's trouble with Duncan is of a year's standing. About twelve ? months ago a carnival visited Wal- ? halla, and Smith, in company with I tho sheriff of Oconee county, visited the attractions and began throwing balls in one of the 'hit the baby' tents. While the sheriff and Mr. Smith were trying to excel each other in accuracy of th row in ?r Duncan, whom Mr. Smith *''_v?.tred had been drinking butted lh. Smith says he did not pay any attention to the man at first, but he became obnoxious af ter so long a time, and he finally told Duncan that he did not care to have anything to do with him; that he (Duncan) had liquor in him. Dun can, Smith says, called him a liar, whereupon Smith knocked him down "That was a year ago. On Wed nesday of this week, Mr. Smith writes, as he and Judge Memminger were walking down the street, be saw Duncan in front of a store where he worked. He was leaning over some thing as if in the act of serving a cus tomer, and Smith took no particular notice of him. After he and the judge had passed by the man a few feet the blow descended upon Smith. "Mr. Smith was not hurt in the fight, being only bruised up a bit.

The young man, whoywas 19 years of age, was resist ing arrest and the officer struck him over the head with a .?18 calibre au tomatic revolver.

A dispatch from Greenville undor date of October 23 says: Thurston U. Vaughan, convicted of heinous crimea alleged to have been committed while suprelntendent of Hm odd Kollows' Orphan Home near this city, is suffering from mental de rangement, in the opinion of Sheriff Hector, who has just returned from a visit to the State penitentiary, where he went to get a prisoner. Tin? sheriff said that Vaughan, who, since his in carceration, has been transferred to the hospital, fails to recognize any one and acts at all times in a queer and peeulair manner, if feigning in sanity, he is putting ?ip a convincing bluff, opines Sheriff Hector, who says that he is a perplexing problem to others in the hospital and the peni tentiary. Vaughn is under a death sentence that ha? been stayed pending nu ap peal to the United States Supreme Court, tlie decision of the State Su perme Court having affirmed that of the lower court. Vaughn pleaded guilty to the charges after withdraw ing a plea of "not guilty" entered af ter bis arraignment. In a dramatic confession before the court, he ap pealed to Hie jury's sense of mercy, but without avail. A verdict of "guilty" was returned after a few minutes' d?lib?ration. Upon the pre siding judge's refusal to grant a new trial lie was sentenced to death. By the end of this month Vaughn will have been in the penitentiary two years, and little has been heard of him since his confinement there. If adjudged insane by a board of exam iners lie will not pay the penalty pre scribed by the court. The self-confessed criminal lias ap peared ol* unsound mind for more I han a year-so assert persons who have come in contact with him. Some went so far as to ad van e the opinion that he was protending insanity to avoid the electric chair. To the observer it appears that Vaughn is laboring undor the Impres sion that he is Infested with bugs or insects. He is constantly picking at bis bair and clothes, and disposing of the imaginary object with an habitual thump. When not engaged in this illusion he is brushing off lils trousers or coat with lils band. He keeps this practice up as if uncon scious of what is going on around him. In the ward with Vaughn are several other inmates of the hospital, it is stated. "TEACH THE MEN TO SHOOT." C. S. Government Issuing Hilles and Ammunition to clubs.

THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Enhanced By Perfect Physi cal Health. The experience of Motherhood Is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every wore rn nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system ha9 received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for tho child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable tiling is that, with all tho evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from ?n unprepared condition, and with am ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to tho trial. Every woman ot this timo should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.
