A. Candler, presiding bishop of the Upper South Carolina conference in 1916 and 1917, has been returned by the 1930 general conference for the 1930-’34 Methodist quadrennium, and will convene the 16bh annual meeting of the conference, Nov. 26, at Central church, Spartanburg. At the first session of the five-day conference, Wednesday morning, the Lord’s supper will be administered by Bishop Candler, assisted by the fol lowing presiding elders: The Revs. F. E.

Bishop Candler and his cabinet of presiding elders will meet in execu tive session to decide appointments for the ensuing year. Although pas tors may be returned indefinitely to the same pulpit, the old “four-year” rule is still the custom, and the fol lowing 25 men who have been at the same church four years or longrer will more than likely be changed: Four-year pastors: the Revs. M. M. Brooks, Central; G. H. Hodges, Clem- son; W. F. Harris, Hona Peath; J. F. Lupo and R. C. Griffith, Columbia; J. M. Steadman, Edgefield;< D. D. Jones, Fairfield; W. R. Bouknight, Johnston; A. J.

C. team should win and thereby win” its first association title in the his tory of the school with six wins and no losses in the association. Newberry has in the past been one of P. C.’s biggest rivals and a victor}’ over the Presbyterians, especially at this time, would appease it for the other losses this season. Newberry was idle last week. It will not have a game this week-end, giving it nearly three weeks to prepare for the Calvin ists. It will be out to mar the record of perhaps P. C.’s greatest team. tinue sending his men through work outs this week and next in preparation for the season’s closing game. The win over Erskine was the eighth straight win for the Presbyte rians and the sixth straight team that they have not allowed to cross their goal line. This speaks for itself con cerning the strength of this year’s line. In this number it has withstoml much battering from some of the best charging backs in .North and South Carolina. Two men especially that have been working hard all this .sea- .son shone in the victory over Erskine, Cheatham, tackle, and Ritchie, in the backTield. Thus is Cheatham’s junior year. Great thing.s are expected of him next year as he has already show ed this year what he can do. Ritchie, playing his la.st year at P. C., went in as a substitute against Erskine. Al though the field'was a sea of mud, he showed the Erskine ends and backs just how a 9.9 second man can run in a .football uniform. The team, al though hampered in its scoring by the muddy field, showed that it still had the ckrive, making 14 first and tens to Erskine’s four. Newberry -is the last game for the Piesbyterian team. The Indians will be met at Newberry on Thanksgiving day. it is hoped the men of, the town will rally to their support by helping raise the necessary funds. It is believed that six or seven hundred dollars, wise!}’ spent, will take care of the communi ty’s poor during .the winter. A can- the hours will be announced next j vass of the community for fundcs to w’eek. Records will be kept of the cas-j supplement the ladies’ work will be ery Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, es and a statement showing how the money is spent will be put in the pa per every week or so. Chief Holland is co-operating with the ladies in ev’ery posvslble way. He has had experience in this work, i.s thoroughly familiar with the needs of the community, and with his help only the de.serving ca.ses will receive aid. l^adies on each street are collecting clothes this week and the room will he opened Saturday moming. There will be practically no averhead ex- made soon. Metlicine and fuel will be needed. If the grocers, druggists and men who sell coal w’ill make special prices rn all things purchased for this cliarity work, it will help greatly.. If every one in town will plan to help with this work in some way, it wlil not be a burden on anyone and the suffering and need of the com munity can be relieved.

He was apparently do ing well until Friday when he became seriously ill. He was an ardent foot ball enthusiast and rarely ever meised a game. His son, Lawrence, starred as a player on the Newberry college team and is rww coaching for Chester high school. Mr. Spearman was born SeptemlnT 9, 1868, in Newberry. He was the son cf the late G. W.

Governor Richards stated lo.iay that he has under advist^nent the n- nlediate is.sue of an additional 000,000 of bonds. “Not only the netnl of completing our highway sysfem, but the urgency of finding employ ment for South Carolina’s jobless thousands moves for a bond issue in the near future,” the governor sai l.
