BISHOPS CHOSEN. Xethodist Conference Promotes Able Men to the Episcopacy.-Besults Give Satisfaction. Asheville, N. C., May 16.-The mem bers of the general conference of the .Methodist Episcopal church, South, are delighted with the choice of men .so far elected to the episcopacy. It has been conceded since the opening of the conference that Dr. Collins Denny and Dr. J. C. Kilgo would be .elected on the first ballot. Dr. Denny received the largest majority ever known on the first ballot. The elec tion of Rev. W. B. Murrah, D. D., LL. D, was never in doubt. Dr. Collins Denny is at present head of Vander-; bilt university. Dr. Kilgo is president of Trinity college, Durham, N. C., and Dr. Murrah is president of Millsapp college, Jackson, Miss. As all three bishops elected are connected with schools, it is stated that an effort will be made in the next election to ele Tate some ministers from the active Tanks of the itinerancy; although those now in the lead, when the last' -ballot was made known, are also con nected with colleges, with the excep, tion of Dr. W. B. Lambuth, the mis sionary secretary of the church. Two sessions of the conference were held today in order that the great amount of business which had ac cumulated could be disposed of. The debate on the question of the: time limit in the pastorate at times waxed warm. There were many -speeches for and against the measure to remove the limit altogether. Those who favored removal of the limit have worked hard and long to press their 7neasure. . The women at the general confer ence who are interested in the wo men's memorial for laity rights are greatly encouraged concerning the movement. In view of the fact that every advance step that has been un dertaken hai been accomp'ished only after years of agitation and education,. they were not prepared for the strong indorsement they have found from many here. Some are hopeful that "when the question of laity right is taken from the calendar and discuss ied, the conference will grant the wo anen their request. Letters and tele 'grams from all sections continue to ardve, stating that men and women all 'over the church are praying that the women will be victorious. The result of the fourtli ballot for lbis1op will not be made known to siight. The ballot has ~been - divided into three parts, each\ teller getting <me part. Each teller's count has 'been sealed and the figures will not be made known until tomorrow morn ing's session. -~ Asheville, N. C., May 17.--With the selection of Rev. James H. McCoy, D). D., ofr Birmingham, Ala., as the 'seventh bishop on the sixth ballot. the quota of 15 bishops of the Meth nist Episcopal church, oSuth, was filled. The old bishops in active ser-: 'vice are: Bishop A. W. Wilson, with light work; E. R. Hendrix, Warren A. Candler, Henry C. Morrison, with Ilight work; E. E. Hoss and James .!tkins. Bishop Fitzgerald was con -'tined on the superannuate list and ~Bishop Joseph S. Key,added thereto -upon his own request. Seven was the largest number the church ever -.selected at one conference. Bouth Carolina fared splendidly in "the elections, getting two native sons, 'Dr. James C. Kilgo, born at Laurens, and.Dr. Mouzon, born at Spartanburg. "Out of the seven men chosen an in teresting feature was that only one -was not connected with some educa 'tonal institution and only one came from west of the Mississippi, although that iks strong Methodist territory. The new bishops in the order of their selectionkg?Z-Gbcyq'cZ%/M'Ma their election are: Dr. Collins Denny of ' Baltimore, a professor at Vander bilt university; Dr. John C. Kilgo, -president of Trinity college, Durham, 'N. C.; Dr. W. B. Murrah, president of Millsapps college, Jackson, Miss.; Dr. 'W. R. Lambuth, secretary of the church board of missions; Dr. R. G. ] Wa.terhouse, president of Emory and Henry college, Emory, Va.; Dr. E. D. I. Mouzon, dean of Southwestern uni -versity, Georgetown, Texas, and Dr. 23ames H. McCoy, president of Bir smningham college, Birmingham, Ala. "The -selection of Bishops Wat ar house, Lambuth and Mouzon on the fourth ballot came as a surprise this jnorning A~ total of six ballots were taken for the seven bishops, two resulting in no choice. Asheville, N. C., May 17.-Today bas been the busiest day since the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, opened its sessions. The election of four bish ops, editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, bookt editor and editor of 'The Quarterly Review and editor of Sunday school literature kept the del egates busy from early this morning until late this afternoon. The elec -tion of three bishops on the fourth ta11ot was something of a surprise, as many thought only two would be elected. Of the seven bishops elected all are in the prime of life and the delegates are congratulating themselves that the majority of the bishops chosen are, still young men, who give promise of long usefulness to the church. Of the four bishops elected today, three were engaged in school work; the fourth, Dr. W. R. Lambuth, being the only one not so employed. It is a singular fact that none of the bish ops elected were engaged in the reg ular work of the pastorate. Bishops W. R. Lambuth, of Tennes see, E. D. Mouzon of Texas, R. G. Waterhouse of Virginia and J. H. Mc Coy of Alabama, the bishops elected today, were kept busy receiving the congratulations of friends. Friends of Bishops Morrison are glad that the events of the past few days regarding charges against him are over. Bishop Morrison was shown the attitude of the conference when at this afternoon's session, he took the chair and was roundly applauded. The most courteous treatment was shown him during his presidency. - The Vanderbilt university matter will be fully discussed at tomorrow's session, and many are of the opinion that the church will be upheld and that the report of the committees on education, favoring the church, will receive the indorsement of the dele gates by a large vote. - The New Bishops. Edwin D. Mouzon, dean of the de partment of theology at Southwestern university, Georgetown, Tex., was born in South Carolina and educated at Wofford college, that State. With the exception of about two years spent in educational work, Dr. Mouz on has been an active pastor since en tering the ministry. He has filled pastorates at Dallas, Houston and Kansas City. He is 45 years old. Rev. Walter R. Lambuth, D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., is the son of Rev. J. W. Lambuth, one of the first Metho dist missionaries to China and Japan. Rev. Mr. Lambuth is considered one of the best informed men on the sub ject of missions in the United States. He is 44 years old, and.for iany years has been secretary of the board of missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, -South, with headquarters at Nashville. Richard Green Waterhouse, a na tive of Tennessee, now 44 years old, was educated at Emory and Henry cellege, of which he has been presi dent for 15. years. Befores accepting this position he was a miember of the Holston conference, in which he was several times a presiding elder and pastor of many of the largest church es. Rev. James H. McCoy, the 'only :ishop elected from Alabama, is the youngest of the bishops~ chosen today, being 42 years old. He is now presi dent of' Birmingham college, a posi tion which he has occupied for about three years. He was host to the last general conference which met in Bir mingham four years ago and his ad dress of welcome at that time had much to do .with his election to the episcopacy today. The committee of the Episcopal college held a session today to fix the Episcopal appointments and time of meeting for holding the, annual con ferences. It is stated that the slate is almost complete and information will be made public at an early date. FOR DYSPEPSIA. You Risk INothing by Trying This - Remedy.
