Conference Notes. The subject matter of the foregoing program was prepared by the General Sunaay-school superintendent of the annual conference. The Sunday-school of. Trinity Methodist Church in Bamberg is one of the leading Sunday-schools of the district, if not in this section of the State, and all pastors, officers and teachers are urged to remain over till Sunday afternoon and see how it is conducted. The conference will attend the Sunday-school at half after three o'clock, and after its adjournment, meet for an hour's discussion of such questions as this Sunday-school may suggest. Each Sunday-school is entitled to three representatives, and should by all means send them. First, the pasj tor is one of the representatives by reason of his position; second, the superintendent is another, but in case he cannot attend a competent substitute should be sent; third, the Sunday-school should elect or the superintendent appoint one other delegate from the teaching force, and the person appointed should promise to go before such appointment is made. There are twelve districts in the annual conference, ten of which have already held their annual Sundayschool conferences. Shall we not work together to make the conference in our district the best of the entire twelve? To do this, we must have all the Sunday-schools repre| sented, and must depend upon the pasiors ana suyt:iiuiruucui.s ?,v cure the delegates. The attendance of pastors on the district Sunday-school conferences has been good, and we are relying upon those in the Orangeburg district to rise to the occasion, and keep our district up to the standard of attendance. Why not put it in the lead? Let no person whose name appears on the program fail to be present and discuss the subject assigned. All speakers are requested to confine their remarks to the time given them on the program. In 1909 the Orangeburg district reported a Sunday School enrolment \ of 4,611 and a church membership of 7,656. If the Methodist Church is to grow and keep her place as a Sq leading denomination she must increase the attendance on the Sundayschools. If every Methodist Sunday school in South Carolina would se- in; cure an increase of 76 per cent, in nij the enrolment it would give us an en- ta rolment of over 100,000 in the State. Iti Several schools have reported 100 co per cent, increase since the requests w( were sent out a few months ago to H< get 76 per cent, increase. What hi about yours? ne All delegates should send their lii names to Mr. M. W. Brabham, Bam berg, S. C., at once, and he will at- o'< tend to securing homes for those sh who thus notify him. ri< Forget not to pray God every day lii for this conference, and for our Bi general Sunday-school work. w?

T. Simpson Shot by T. R. Pitts in Ej Barnwell County. Barnwell, Sept. 25.?In an altercation at Bobbins Friday afternoon T. T. Simpson was shot twice and killed by his father-in-law, Travis R. Pitts. ^ Indications are that the tragedy is the result of a domestic quarrel. At- P T( ter the killing Pitts gave himself up ^ to the authorities and has been lodged in jail. Both Simpson and Pitts are Laurens county men, the former of whom has been working for a lumber com- w pany at Robbins, in Barnwell county. p< Several days ago Pitts received 'sev- b eral telegrams from his daughter, c< urging him to come to her at once but giving no explanation of the ur- a< gency of the call. He told several of pi his friends of the messages received A and left for his daughter's home. Simpson is said to have ordered ei Pitts away which started a row. h Simpson fired once but missed, and a the fire was promptly returned, two h shots taking effect and resulting in death. T Pitts is about 50 years of age and a is a painter by trade. Simpson's f< body was taken to Laurens Saturday tl afternoon and was buried at Rocky Springs church. He was a son of a 'ihomas S. Simpson of Laurens county and was well connected. He had ji been living at Robbins about a year, a TOOK NIAGARA BARREL TRIP. ^ Canadian "Rides" Through Rapids in Three Minutes. a Niagara Falls, N. Y., Sept. 24.? C( Bobby Leach, of Niagara Falls, Ont., Cl this afternoon made a trip through Ci the whirlpool rapids in a barrel, starting from the Old Maid of Mist landing. Except for a few scratches and bruises Leach, who claims to have ^ made the trip several times, wras unhurt. Leach entered the rapids at 3.57 and went through them in three E minutes, riding the tremendous waves L smoothly. o The great, wave caught the barrel o and hurled it clear of the water, but a it righted itself nicely and went on h ' to the whirlpool without mishap. Five times the barrel circled the pool, o keeping to the outer edge away from c the vortices, and was caught with a t< pole at 5:05. The only one of the barrel navigators to be killed in the trip to the whirlpool was Maud Willard, who h suffocated in her barrel on September *J 7, 1901. She was in the whirlpool p ! for five hours. a i , b If you find gladness you must play c : life's great game with eagerness and n t fairness. g l LYNCHING IN TAMPA. uad of Armed Men Hangs Two Prominent Italians.
