South-Carolina Methodists met In their 126th annual Conference at Bennettsville Wednesday q^ornlng. The Conference began with the Sac rament of the Lord's Supper, admin istered by Bishop John C. Kilgo, as sisted by the Rev. Messrs. C. B. Smith, J. W. Elkins, J. O. Wilson, P. F. Kilgo and R. E. Tuinipseed. The sacrament was administered to hundreds of clergymen, laymen and citizens <>f Bennettsville and the ser vice was exceedingly impressive. When the Rev. T. J. Clyde .one of the oldest members of the Confer ence, approached the chancel Bishop Kilgo affectionatHy embraced him an 1 wept. Mr. Clyde was the senior preacher of Bishop Kilgo on the Bishop’s first charge, here in Ben- nettsville, and to him the Bishop de clared he owed a debt of gratitude which could never be paid. The organization of the Conference was perfected by the re-election of Dr. E. O. Watson as secretary. Dr Watson appointed as his assistants the Rev. Messrs. A. E. Holler, S. B. Harper and W. 1,.

Th outcome of the race was a sur prise to automobile enthusiats, as neither of the two favorites of Wed nesday, both Frenchmen, were in the running at the finish.

A closer run of the state for pop ular government, and the elimination of special tariff and other privileges, as the only basis for constructive na tional progress was advocated by Gov. Eugene N. Foss, of Massachu setts, in an address before the St. Andrew’s Society Thursday night in Charleston. He declared the business interests of the country must he built upon constructive business lines for the benefit of the people and that the Republican party had utterly failed in this regard. He outlined the progressive move ment of the Democratic party, which, he said, furnished the necessary so lution of our national problems and declared that the country is calling upon that party to assume the lead ership. He declared that the Sher man act had failed to safeguard and develop our Industrial prosperity, and that it had reacted injuriously upon all business. He believed, he said, that each state must now take up the duties of regulating its trade and commerce, instead of leaving this to take its chances with unwise Federal control and litigation; called for a more bus iness-like direction of public affairs and declared it to be the duty and the opportunity of the progressive Democracy to establish clean-cut bus iness methods in government as well as Industry and commerce. "The people now realize that The business interests of the country and all problems of public finances and all problems of public finances and fiscal policy cannot remain the prey of partisan schemes; but must be raised to the highest level on sound economic principles. Progress is pos slble on this plan, and on no other "legislation in regard to our in dustry and ^munerce has hitherto been far more deabtuctlve of broad, honest expansion .Jihsn effective In checking dishonesty or In limiting monopolies. "We now enter upon a new era in which progressive legislation on these lines will teke the place of tariff Juggling and its attendant evils "The era of the Payne-Aldrich tar iff has been also the era of the polit ical boss It has witnessed the sub version of Legislatures, the dictation of congressional action, and the dis turbance of executive duty, through forces that work in the dark, against the public welfare. It has been the direct representation of popular will supplanted by the dictates of polit ical machines. "Relief from PLEAD GUILTY Juits B lOiairaCtfifestts It BUw- it| Up ike Tiaei Bi'Mirg. BOLT FROM A CLEAR SKY T Eeaonshrdu etaon shrdlu cmfwyp The Explosion at Los Angeles, Cal., Which Destroyed The Times Build ing and Killed Twenty-One of the Paper's Employees, is at Last Cleared Up. James B. McNamara pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree In Judge Walter Bordwell's court at Los An geles, Cal., Friday. A summary of the day's happenings included many sensational incidents. James B. Mc Namara pleaded guilty to having placed a dynamite bomb under the Los Angeles Times building in Octo- ter, 1910, and caused the death of 21 persons. John J. McNamara, rccretary- treasurer of the Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, brother of James B., did not enter plea at this time to the tnrlirtment similarly entered acpinst hi-M tor Th" Times explosion, but when lie Is ar ranged next Tuesday it is virtually certain proceedings against him for this charge will be dismissed, as the State admits it has no evidence con necting John J. McNamara directly with this particular disaster. John J., however, pleaded guilty to the charge of having caused the ex plosion of the Llwellyn Iron Works, in which no fatalities occurred. 'District Attorney John D. Fred ericks will recommend life imprison ment for James B., and ten years for John J , but Judge Walter Bordwell a'one can fix the sentence. Ortie E. MoManigal, who con fessed to having actually blown up the Llwellyn Iron works there in December, 1910, at the direction of John J. McNamara, will be brought to trial, but it is expected the State will recommend a light sen'ence be cause he turned State's evidence. The scene in the court room Fri day was one of protracted tension Sensation followed sensation with such rapidity that the gaping crowd hardly realized what happened in those few minutes of formal pro cedure In less than twenty minutes the big case was disposed of, hut for hours previously there had been a feeling that something startling would develop, and so closely guard ed was information that spectators "ere prepared for anythin*; except the thing presented.

There was a rush for the incloeure where the attorneys sat when around tbe district attorney to congratulate him upon the way he worked up his case He smiled in return—not a smile of exultation, but relief. "I don’t want a pound of flesh,” ht- explained. "1 look at this from two view points. As a lawyer I wanted these men to plead guilty because they were guilty—because the evidence we gathered showed them guilty be- von' any doubt.

The True American, of Trenton, N. J., in a recent issue shows that Woodrow Wilson really carried fiew Jersey In the late election. Accord ing to the True American Gov. Wil son spoke in twenty of tbe twenty-one counties of the State during the cam paign. He did not speak in Essex county, where the socalled "Democratic" can didates for aesembly were running on a Smith-Nugent machine ticket in opposlt^n to the Wilson platform and in opposition to progressive leg islative program. In the twenty counties where Wil son spoke the Democrats Increased their phenomenal majorities of 9,531 for the legislative ticket in 1910, to 10,188 in 1911. This, In conjunction with the fact that taking tbe State as a whole the Democratic candidates for assemblymen received a plurality of the votes cast for assembly candi dates, and that, too, in a year when the twit vote was exceptionally light, shows that Governor Wilson has r»- 'Verne* New Jers?y to Democracy "for keeps." These figures also bear out the statement made this week by Nation al Committeeman Robert S. Huds peth, of Jersey City, in which he de clares that “ the result this year was accomplished in spite «f opposition to Governor Wilson on the part of James Smith, who dominated tho or ganization in Essex County. This County has twelve assembly seats, which were lost, the Democratic vot ers refusing to support his candidates, who were running on the anti-Wilson platform. * "Yhe Democratic loss in Essex county changed the complexion of the assembly, but the total vote in the State nevertheless shows a Demo cratic majorltv. "The difference be tween this and last year In the Dem ocratic majority lies chiefly In Smith's county. There was a change against him of 12,227 votes. Last year his county was Democratic by a majorltv of 4.999 This year there was a Republican majority of 7,288. “The State senate last yeur was Republican by a majority of thrso. Asa result of the recent election that body thla year Is Republican by a majority of only one. Governor Wll- son'a legislative program at tbe last session was carried through tn its entirety, notwithstanding the Repub lican majority in the Senate. "The Democratic majority in the State Is notable In view of the fact that there was no candidate for State office, and no one like Governor Wil son running for office about whom a State-wl interest might revolve. As s natural consequence, a large num ber of registered voters, In the main Independent, refrained from casting their ballota.

Waiting was a squad of newspaper men who had waded to no avail through a maze of possibilities Fri day to determine the reason for the sudden halting of the morning's pro ceedings. Three little boxes conceal ing telegraphic wires were prepared for the developments, and less than two seconds after the word "guilty" left the mouth of each defendant the news was being flushed across the land. Seated with district Attorney Fred-1 encks was his entire staff. Facing him was Clarence S. Harrow and three associate counsel for the de fendants. James B. McNamara at first took a seat to one side, us usual, with two deputies, but soon Attorney Scott beckoned to him. The two mtii sat together for a few minutes, and Scott’s arm was about the pris oner's neck and he counseled cour age for the supreme crisis. It w T as James B. McNamara who balked at entering into an arrange ment to plead guilty if it might af fect his brother, sreriflee himself, but he wanted his brother to go free. The attorneys, 1 however, convinced him that the bet ter course was for both to plead guilty and take tholr chances on a merciful sentence. Word that John J. McNamara was coming caused the first ripple of ex citement. He had not visited the court room since October 11, when the trial was begun, And the cases of i the McNamaras were severed.
