TWO CONFERENCES FOR METHODISTS General Conference May Ratify Vote?Status of Church Colleges After Division. Rock Hill, December 1.?There will be two Methodist confer ences in South Carolina. The question of toe division of the State Conference came up as a special order at 10 o'clock this morning, and by a very decisive vote it was determined to make two conferences. The vote was one hundred and twenty-three to eight. The Rev. D. D. M. McLeod, of Sumter, was the author of the resolution, and in a very forceful way argued that the body was too large to be entertained in most towns. The Rev. John O. Wilson, D. D., of Greenwood, very strenuously opposed the division. The Rev. R. S. Truesdale, of Charleston, advocated the division in a very forceful effective speech, which elicited hearty applause. 'ine ?tev. j. m. sieaamaa xiiaue a speetfh of opposition. The Rev. J. C. Roper favored division. The vote showed an unexpected sentiment. The lines have not been decided upon, but will be determined later. It will be necessary for the general conference to ratify this vote, but it is hardly probable that this decisive vote will be ignored. The Rev. Peter Stokes read the report of the board of education. Several speeches on education were made by representatives of the several colleges of the conference. Dr. E. 0. Watson was anxious as to the status oi the colleges when the division of the wa.s Affected. He wanted it written into the constitution that the schools be the joint property ol the two conferences. , A commission to draft a memorial to the general conference for the division of the conference and to determine the details of division was appointed, consisting of Dr. J.

Juarez, December 2.?Seven generate of the Mexican regular amy are ready to surrender and the backbone of the Huerta dictatorship in the north has ben broken. A peace commission tonight arrived in Juarez bearing terms of the surrender. The peace commission was headed by Odilon Hernandez and came from Chinuaihua bearag a proclamation signed by Gen. Salvador Mercado, Huerta's Military governor and commander of the federal forces in all the north. The proclamation stated that the Huerta government was bankrupt and was unable to pay its soldiers.

Gen. Mercado's proclamation read: "Under the circumstances whidh have existed in Chihuahua it has been deemed necessary for the federal troops to evacuate. I leave in charge Federico Move, a person who is not identified with politics and who is, therefore, qualified to give full protection to foreigners. It is impossible to remain here longer, as there is no money with which to pay the troops." Fleeing to United States. The generals wiiio have signified, through Gen. Mercado, their willingness to surrender, but who, nevertheless, are fleeing to the United States border, are: Gen. Salvader Mercado, Gen. Pascual Grozco, Gen.

The appearance of the handsome new parish house o? the Church of the Advent has been greatly enhanced by the addition of the new memorial window. It is an adaptation of the Golden Tree Panel of the abbey series of Galahad paintings in the Boston public library. The Golden Tree, grown to full perfection, represents the life of this little Sir Galahad, which has reached thus early in the Father's eyes the full earthly development. The Holy Grail, [held out by mysterious hands, represents the vision of fcne heavenly, which the eyes f the beautiful kueeLng 2gure hava ! caught. Enraptured at the sight, the 'sword of earthly warfare falls from |the young and eager hands and, kneeling in robes of red, typifying the j i purity that ha3 been won tJhrough ; trial, mingled with the blue which reI presents the purity of innocence, the young knight stretches out his hands j to follow hereafter the heavenely vision which his burning eyes have seen. I Flowers are seen springing along the 1 rnnpih nathwav of life as the celestial - ~ X ? W j light bursts upon the scene. In the back-ground are the mountains, suggestive always of serenity in this case of the soft and beautiful outlines of the Blue Ridge, which surrounded this j young knight's former home in Virginia.

The regular annual primary elec-! tion or town officers was held yes- j ' j terday. | Z. F. Wright was re-elected for j ; mayor. One year ago he was nomi- j nated and elected to this position by his friends. His re-election without; 1 an opponent is a compliment to his (j administration. The quality of his ! government and the esteem in whicni he is held by his fellow townsmen ' is heightened by this being the first : public office he has ever held. Z F.

The Wiregrass Farmer and Stockman is the name of a newspaper pub lished at Ashburn, Ga. In its last is- ! sue a correspondent furnishes an ar-' tide against a wild west show from which we take this: , I "It is probable that the gamblers connected with this miserable institution carried away from eight, hundred to a thousand dollars, j , whicn they fleeced from the citi- j j zens of Ashburn and Turner counj ty. One man lost fifteen dollars, another thirty-five, one lost ai bale of cotton, and another was beat out of sixty dollars. I have heard of one man who came to town to pay for a mule ana lost ana or anomer who went home two hundred dollars, poorer than when he came to see the' show." ; What The Herald and News man at this distance wants to know it how | can such things be? _ : Summer Pros.

STRENGTH iFOR OLD PEOPLE. Old people, to overcome the weaken ing, debilitating effects of increasing age, often make a very sad mistake in using so-called "remedies" that contain alcohol and dangerous or habit-forming drugs. Often this stuff, because it livens and brightens them up a little just after taking a dose, leads them to imagine that it is doing them good, when it isn't. Remedies that relyf for their sale on Riifh deceit, do harm, because the false excitement of the nerves and heart leaves them worse tnan they were before. Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is a real medicine?a splendid body and strength-builder especially good for old people, because it furnishes to the system ingredients necessary to re build wasted tissues, strengthen tne nerves, give new energy and a younger and livelier feeling to the body. It doesn't contain a drop of alconol nor any dangerous drug. It may make you feel better after the first dose, nor perhaps for several days. But if you have taken a quarter as much as you har-A nf nther medicines that didn't help you, we will gladly give you back your money. That's certainly a square deal. The four hypophosphites it contains are used by leading physicians everywhere in debility, weakness and liability to disease, to tone and strengthen the nerves. Purest Olive Oil, one of the most nutritious, most easily-digested foods known, being taken with the hypophosphites, gives rich tissue nourishment to the entire systeir. , You who are weak and run down, and you who are apparently well now, but are liable to suffer from various cold water ailments, use Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion to get and keep well and strong. For the tired-out, rundown, nervous, emaciated or debilitated?the convalescing?growing children?aged people?it is a sensible pleasant-tasting aid to renewed strength, better spieits, glowing health. If it does not help you, your money will be given back to you without argument.
