There have been several attempts to 'ob private homes in this town lately, ut so far the most that has been taken ras from a refrigerator on the . back orch at the home of Mr. Louis Levi. Jonday night an attempt was made at ~he home of Mr. A. Weinberg, but the ~ellow was interrupted by a shot from Er. Bertram Weinberg's pistol. At ,he crack of the gun the thief made us escape leaving behind his hat as a ~ouyenir. Heretofore the residence ortion of the town has not been care ~ully guarded, but now since attempts ave been made at depredations the uthorities will endeavor to apprehend md punish the rascals. While in Florence last week a sug estion was made to organize the to acco growers into an association to arther the interests of those who :narket tobacco. The argument is that :he buyers who come to this State orce an early sale of the weed in order to get to other ufarkets, and the result Ls that our farmers do not get the price rheir-product is entitled to. The pro posed organization purposes to have a Longer time in which to market, and hereby give to the growers time to ~rade and otherwise put the weed into thape that will bring more money, as it is, the foreign buyers come here,stay a very short time, and require the to bacco rushed into the market so they :an get to the markets in North Caro ina, and Virgingia. Then too, the matter of warehouse charges is a fea ure that the association will take into ~onsideration-the growers complain f the charges being too high, and they intend to ask for legislation to regulate his. Tbe law now fixes the charges but this was done when the tobacco in iustry was in its infancy, the charges fxed at that time have not been chang ed, and it is contended that' with the uantity of tobacco grown now the harges can be considerably reduced and still leave a fine profit for the ware Lousemen. Clarendon being quite a tobacco growing section, we should like to have the views of some of the farmers on this subject. We confess our inability to know whether by leg. islation a longer market can be secur ed, and whether or not the charges of the warehousemen are out of propor tion, but should there be an association formed, those put at the head of it should be conservative business men who have a full knowledge of the to bacco culture, and are acquainted with the methods of the various markets. Magistrate Bradham had before him last Saturday a case which created con siderable interest, not to say indigna tion. A Mr. Ellis, of East Orange, N. J.was a guest at the home of Mr.J.McD MFaddin, near Manning, and upon the jinvitation of Mr. Sam Barron, he ac companied Mr. Barron and other gentlemen to Santee on a hunt, but be fore starting Mr. Ellis inquired if a license was required. Mr. Barron look ed up the law and found a section, which in his opinion, and the opinion of others, that covered just such a a case, and he so informed his friend. The section provides that a resident free holder has the right to invite: a non-resident to hunt with him on a special occasion without a license. Feeling that it was not necessary to procure a license, the party hunted 3 days in the Santee swamp, and they say, they got game--no proof so far as BAP PUN STREET. 7, December >re. Entire Stock and Fi ned in this community, I id Fixtures as a going bu ale Opens eB were taken for it. The matter. wa reported to Mr. Grumble,who Is a gami warden, living in the Santee section,h teleplioned to Manning and had Mr Ellis detained on a charge of huntini without a license. The trial was set foi Saturday, at which time the case wa. heard in the presence of a number o: interested spectators. The State wa represented by Hon. J. H. Lesesne and the defense by J. W. Wideman, Esq. The evidence was convincing thai there was no intention of violating any law, in fact, it was shown that the de fendant desired to take out a license ii such was required, and as he stated, no true sportsman will violate the game laws of State knowingly. The jury heard the evidence and the argu ments, and after the magistrate's charge, in a few minutes, acquitted the defendant, to the gratification of those who heard the case and knew the facts and circumstances. We hope that Mr. Ellis' experience in Manning will not leave a bad taste in his mouth for this section, and we do not think it will, be cause it must have been gratifying t him, a stranger, to note the sincere sympathy the people here had for him in his embarassment. He must come back to Manning just to prove his heart is in the right, place. Mr. Ellis is a member of the New Jersey Bar and frequently visits Greenville, S. C., where he married a friend. of Mrs. J. McDowell McFaddin. - The list of prizes awarded for the tomato and corn clubs would have been published in The Times sooner, but through an oversight they were not furnished to us in time. Mr. McFaddin presented the prizes and complimented the club members on the work they had done. He said that Viola Thames and Allie Turbe ville had already had their short cour ses at Winthrop for their good gardens. Alice Wilson; of Manning, and Leila Coker, of Turbeville, are entitled to the short courses next summer.

On last Sunday night the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. 0. Lowder, of Sumter, and took from them, dear little Harry, he had pneu monia and lived only a week he was a sweet boy and was never known to ut ter a bad word, or even give his parents~ or anybody a frown, he was an excep tion, he was only 10 years of age, he was a beautiful and an obedient boy. During his illness he called his mother and father to bis bed side and kissed them and said to them he wanted to go to Heaven. Everything that hands could do was done to try to savs him but the Lord knew best and took him home. With him a precious one from us is gone, a voice we loved is still a vacant place witbin our home which never can be filled, we loved him so good it was hard to giye him up, but the Lord's Will must be done. They brought his body from Sumter and placed it in the Oak Grove Ceme tary. The entire family has our deep est sympathy. C Roses Will Bloom Again, "Boiling water will revive floweri that are so wilted that any one no: knowing its magic powers for resusci tating them would throw them away as worthless. Try it and see before you scoff the idea," said the woman whs likes to try new experiments as she was lightly scraping down the limp stems of some roses that drooped de jectedly. "I'm doing this lightly, you see, so that the hot water will soak all through the stems." After she had finished the scraping she ran the flowers into a deep pitcher and going to the stove took from it the steaming hot teakettle and poured the bubbling water into the pitcher until it just covered the stems, leaving the roses above the surface. "There, in a little while I shall have fresh flowers for the dinner table." And her visitor saw just what she had prophesied-a mass jof Iroses thal looked as though they had neve: thought of wilting. "I1away try the boiling water curi on wilted flowers before throwing then away. I find that very few people knov about it. You mustn't lay the flower! themselves in the hot water.

Stodk and Fixture saturday, D Eank - Near Sumter I Conferenc Appointments for Close c Final Session Marred b3 of the Nettles Case Against [Sumter Iten The South Carolina Conference t day decided to locate Rev. Stephen A Nettles, for years editor of the Curi tian Advocate, and not to allow him a active pastoral charge in either. of th South Carolina Confernoes. The vet on-the resolution was 76 to 65 an Bishop Denny held that Nettles ws thierefore not entitled to a pastora charge. The resolution was offered by . ( Boulware, A. H. Bes, J. T. M Farlane, J. L. Harley, J. J. Stevensor A. V. Harbin and G. C. Hutchinso and Wias as follows: "We the unde signed members of the South Carolin Conference move that Rev. S. A Nettles be locatea on the ground < unacceptability." The adoption of thi resolution means that Rev. Nettle still remains a member of the confei ence, but that he is not given an charece. The vote came after- a length debate and one that showed signsc becoming warm at several points, bt was kept rigidly within parliamentar bounds by Bishop Denny, who held th speaker down to strict observance c parliamentary rules and thus preven1 ed anything personal in the argument S. A. Nettles, after there had bee repeated expressions of members c the Conference to have him speak i his own defense, made a few remark in his own behalf, but declined to mak a plea for forgiveness, as he had bee: asked to do by his brethren of the Cot ference Immediately after the.,vote was take: and he found that the Conference has decided to locate him, Mr. Nettles asb ed to be allowed to make charge against a number of members of th Conference for lying. He named Rev W. I. Herbert, before he was stoppe by the Bishop, who stated that sh charges must go before his presidin elder and be investigated before the; could come beforo the Conference. On of the reasons assigned for locatini Rev. Nettles was that he had used ur becoming language toward his assc ciates, having cailed at least two mem bers of the Conference liars during it session, according to statements mad in the Conference this morning. B ?efore the appointments were reac Bishop Wilson made a short address 'egging for harmony in the two Con ferences saying that a spirit of peac and brotberly love should be shown b; all and that all should strive togethe for the good of the church. Bisho] Collins Denny thanked the people c the city and the members of the Cot ference for the courtesies which has been extended to him and the kindnes shown him. He reiterated the wora of Bishop Wilson calling for peace ani harmony in the Conference and amon, its members He said that he has tried his best in giving out the assigr ments to put each preacher in the Cot ference which was most acceptable tu him. It was a very difficult matter te adjust in a manner satisfactory to al and if he had failed in any point, h asked the forbearance of the member of the two Conferences. The morning session was taken u: in hearing reports of the various con mittees, the electing of committees t serve in the two Conferences durn, the coming year and in the discussio: of the Nettles resolution. The las business of the Conference as usual was the reading of the appointments b the Bishop, a matterlwhich is alway of the greatest importance to the meui bers of the Conference and awaite with Interest all over the State. A committee consisting of Messrs H. B. Carlisle, J. A. McCullouh, C. C Featherstone, Charlton DuRant, E. C Dennis and B. Hart Moss was electe to make provisions as to the division< Conference property between the Sout Carolina and the upper South Carolin Conference. It was decided that the Sunday scho< secretary should work for both Confei ences, as there were not sufficient fund to keep two secretaries at active wor in the field. Rev J. B. Wilson urged that a: members of the Conference join th the Brotherhood of the Conference an called for members. About fifteen ne members were added to the organiza tion. J. Fuller Lyon of Abbeville was elet ted treasurer of the Upper South Ca: olina Conference aud Henry B. Wil lams of Charleston was elected treas urer of the South Carolina Conferenc< A vote of thanks was given the Rei E. 0. Watson for his long and faithfl service as secretary of the South Cari lina Conference. S. B. Harper was elected secretar of the South Carolina Conference au~ R. E. Turnipseed of the Upper Sout Carolina Conference. Upon motion of Rev. Watson B.

J. B. Traywick made a beau n tiful prayer and after a few words by - Bishops Wilson and Denny, the ap a pointments were read and the one hundred and fifty-ninth and last session if f the' old South Carolina Methodist s Conference was held. In future there s will be two Conferences and two places -of meeting. v The feature of the day's session was y the fight on the motion to locate Rev. af S. A. Nettles and not to give him areg t ular pastorate. The fight showed that i there were many warm friends of Rev. B Nettles in both the South Carolina and f the Upper South Carolina Conferences, -but that these supporters of Rev Net .ties were in the minority. Many elo a quent and able pleas were made in be f half of Nettles, but these did not prove 2 sufficient to turn the tide in his favor. s A. H. Best, J. L. Harley, two of the B signers of the resolution, took the floor 2 in urging its passage, but other than Sthese there were none to push the mo tion. Mr. Best is of the Pacolet Cir 2 cuit. He thought that in mercy to I others the resolution should be passed. - Rev. Harley is chairman of the Anti s Saloon League in this State and, while B a personal friend of Nettles, favored -the resolution as he thought it would I be injurious to the church to continue B Nettles in a pastorate. .He thought Sthis would be an act of mercy pn Net F ties, as he did not believe that Nettles B would be acceptable anywhere, and i that his usefulness had waned. - Rev. L. F. Beatyv, chairman of the - Sunday school board, made a strong Splea for Rev. Nettles, who he said had s sinned no doubt, but others also had B sinned and he believed that Nettles was sorry for his mistakes of the past. ,Rev. P. B. Wells also made a strong ,plea for mercy, saying that while Rev. - Nettles had not been acceptable to a some as editor of the Southern Chris i tian Advocate, it had never been shown e that he had not proved acceptable in 3 charge of a pastorate. Rev. Best went f over charges against Rev. Nettles, - which were threshed out last year at i the Rock Hill Conference. S Rev. R. R. Dagnall made a motion to table the motion. but his motion failed. 1 Revs. L. F. Beaty, Henry Stokes, P. f B. Wells, B. G. Guess, S. 0. Cantey, S. D. Vaughn, G. C. Leonard made - pleas on behalf of Rev. Nettles, while - J. C. Chandler and others asked for a ) statement from Rev., Nettles before they were willing to vote on the ques tion. It was after there had been re B peated requests that Rev. Nettles be s beard from that he arose from his seat and addressed the chair for recognition. )As he rose to make his defense ev -ery person in the honise leaned for 3 ward to hear what he had to say and i his words were listened to with the 2 greatest intentness. He told of how, t as the son of of a Methodist preacher ,and knowing the hardships of a Meth V odist preacher's life, he had received Sthe call to preach and after it had come to him again and again, he went into this work. For 11 years he filled the storates to whieh he was sent -and then for nine years he had filled -the position as editor of the Southern -Christian Advocate. He had. during that time never had any diilculty~with Iany member of the board,and everyone~ I was now bis firm friend and statnding a by him. He realized his ftults and regretted them. No man could ever isay that he had lied and he despised a -lie. He had correspondence to prove s every charge he had ever made, but thought that these charges should have been brought before the Conference. .1 He still felt that he was called to preach and he was willing to do what be be d lieved to be his duty. * J. H. Mendley stated that he also - had had difficulty with Rev. Nettles in the settlement of his account. He ,thought that he had been overcharged, .but was willing to pay for the sake of . peace. At this point Rev. Nettles rose .and ask 1 if he might ask a g'estion. He was .nted the privilege and ask ed if Mr. dley meant to say that he had been charged what he did not owe. >.Mendley stated that be did not think that he owed as much as he had been charged. Nettles then stated that he had letters from subscribers stating d that they bad turned over to Rev. h Mendley money which the latter had not turned over to him. Mendley ' further stated that he had heard Net a tIes say that a certain man bad lied, r while he was discussing the settlement with Nettles. After some mnore dis cssion the vote was called for and Nettles was located. 01 SUNDAY SERVICE. ISunday moi-ning there was preach h-I ng at all of the churches in the city, . SUM ntire Stock a i short time regardless of ct, the Stock MUST BE S it any time before or duri ,8:30 A. I UC :Stc practically all of the pulpits being oc cupied by the visiting members of the Methodist Conference. Bishop Denny preached at Trinity Methodist church and Bishop Wilson at Broad Street 'Methodist church. Sunday afternoon the memorial session of the Conference was held and memorial tributes were read to those members of the Confer ence who had died during the year. Sunday night the pulpits of the city were again occupied by the visiting preachers. Bishop Denny took for his text "Whatsoever a Man Soweth, that shall he also reap" and for an hour an a half held the undivided attention of his large audience.. After the ~ sermon, Bishop Denny ordained the class ol three elders and twelve deacons. usinz one service and ordaining both at the same time The ordaining of deacons .and elders at one ceremony is some thing unusual it probably never having occurred before in the South Carolina Conference. Before the morning ser vice a Love Feast was held, being pre sided over by presiding elder J S. Beasley. Sunday afternoon the memorial to Rev. W. B. Baker was read by Rev. P. B. Ingram: that of Rev. N. B. Clarkson by Rev. G. C. Leonard; that to Rey. Geo. M. Boyd, by Rev. R. E. Stackhouse. Pages in the minutes were inscribed to Mrs. Paul F. Kistler, Mrs. J W. Murray and Mrs. J. K. Mc Kain, preachers' wives who have died during the year. The meeting was resided over by Rev. R. E. Stackhouse Sunday night Rev. S. A. Stell, D. D. preached an eloquent sermon at Trini ty church to a large and interested cengregation. SATURDAY AFTMENOON AND NIGHT. The session Saturday afternoon prov-. ed one of the most interesting of the Conference. Final plans for the divis ion of the Conference were decided on and Trinity Church Char'leston chosen as the meeting place of the South Car lina Conference for next year, and Bethel Church, Spartanburg, as the meeting place for the Upper South Car. lina Confesence. The Rev. W. C. Kirkland was electod editor of the Southern Christian Advocate when Rev. R. E. Stackhouse declined to serve, and Rev R. W. Owen was elect ed field secretary of the Sunday school work in South Carolina to take the place of J. M. Way, who resigned to fill a larger field of operations with the South Atlantic Division of Sunday schools, vhich covers several States. The roll was called and the character of the ministers was passed upon, there nt being one who failed to pass. Saturday night the Epworth League meeting of the Conference was held. The address of the Rev. S. A. Steel, D. D., proved a most instructive, liter ry offering to the conference. Dr. Steel took for his subject "The Book," referring to the great value of the Bible as a literary, historical and phil sophical reference book. The meet ing was presided over by Rev. Geo. C. Leonard. presidenit of the Epworth League Board, and a few remarks con erning the work and value of the lea us were made by 3. C. Smith, presi dnt of the State Epworth League Con erence. At the Saturday afternoon session much business was attended to. The haraeter of all of the preachers was passed upon. The discussion of the final plans of division took up some ime. There was some debate as to the names of the two conferences, the ques tion being settled by the names already suggested in the McLeod resolution, the eastern Conference being called the South Carolina Conference and the .estern Conference the Upper South arolina Conference. There was no uestion of locating the ministers in the onference which they preferred and this makes the announcemeut of ap ointments an even more interesting matter than usual. Bishop Denny announced that Rev. t. R. Tucker bad been received by transfer from -the Tennessee Confer nce. W. B. Wharton of the Epworth Or phanage requested the especial re membrance of the Conference at Christ as season. The decisions as to places of meet ing for next year were then made, C. P. Hammond of Spartanburg invited the Upper South Carolina Conference to meet at Bethel Church in that city next year and his invitation was unan imously accepted. R. s. Truesdale of Charleston then asked that the South Carolina C'onference meet at Trinity church, Charleston, the home of Meth odism in South Carolina, next year and and his invitation was also unanimous ly accepted. T. N. Ivy of Nashville, editor of the Christian Advocate, asked the support of the two Conferences for his publica Lion. SUMTER DISTRICT-H. W. BAYS, PRE SIDING ELDER. Bethany--0. N. Rountree.
