METHODISTS HEAR REPORT.
'
Plans Agreed Upon for Raising Fund
of $300,000 for Colleges.
Florence, Dec. 1.?The matter of
f
the most importance before the South
Carolina Methodist conference today !
was the hearing and adoption of the j
report of the educational commission,!
appointed by the board of education j
a year ago, to arrange for the raising
of a $300,000 educational fund
for the Methodist colleges of the
State. The report was read by Rev.
A. D. Betts, and with slight amendment
was adopted. The report recommended
the appointment of Rev.
F. H. Shuler as commissioner of edu- J
cation, to direct the proposed cam-;
paign; that the following apportion- j
ment of the money be made: Wof-|
ford college, $145,000; Columbia col-j
lege, $65,000, Lander college, $45,-]
000; that the time between February:
11 and March II be set apart for)
concerted action in the raising of the j
money, other work being suborainat-i
ed to this; that the second Sunday in
February be used for the presenta-j
tion of the matter from Methodist
pulpits; that the presiding elders and j
pastors look to the collecting of the j
fund under the guidance of Mr.;
Shuler.
The report provoked some debate,
objection being made to some features.
The Rev. M. L. Banks offered j
an amendment to the plan of cam-1
paign and spoke to his amendment.;
The amendment was defeated. |
Speeches were made in defense of the
report by Dr. E. O. Watson and
others, and the report was taken upj
and acted upon, recommendation by.
recommendation.
The Rev. A. J. Cauthen offered an
amendment to the report as it related
to the time for the campaign, nam-j
ing April in lieu of February and
March. Dr. H. N. Snyder and the
Rev. F. H. Shuler favored the earlier j
day. Mr. Cauthen's amendment was j
carried and the campaign will be con-!
ducted in April. Bishop Atkins made
a speech commending the campaign
and emphasizing its importance.
Upon the adoption of the report
Mr. Shuler asked for subscriptions
from members of the conference and
received money and subscriptions
amounting to $7,000.
The Rev. S. C. .Morris, of the Horschool
was recently given to the
church.
The Rev. Dr. Kirkland made an
address in the interest of the Advocate
which caught the ear of the conference.
Last night was given to Sunday

Bryan to Build Home on Mountain.!
Washington, Dec. 1.*?William
Jennings Bryan is going to build
himself a home on top of a little
mountain which rises 500 feet above
the city of Asheville, N. C. He will1
call his new home "Mount Calm,"!
and here he will spend the greater j
part of his time, especially in thej
summer months.
Tn flrninnnrine- this fact todav. Mr. i
Bryan made it clear that he will not
give up his legal residence in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
Mr. Bryan's reasons for building j
a home at Asheville are his desire
to be near his daughter, Mrs. Richard
Hargreaves, who lives at Ral- j
eight, N. C., and his desire to be!
nearer to Washington, so that he
can visit here oftener without sacri-j
ficing so much of his home life.
"I expect to be a frequent visi-1
tor in Washington during the next
15 or 20 years, if I live that long,"
he said. "I am interested in nationai
and international questions, more
so than ever, if that is possible.
"Asheville is beautifully located in
the Blue Ridge mountains. The cli-j
mate is salubrious and the mountain
peaks surrounding the city pre-j
sent a magnificent view, but our:
chief reason for spending the sum- j
mers at Asheville is that it is only!
a night's ride from Washington."
Mr. Bryan passed through Wash- \
ington today on his way to Asheville i
While he was here President Wilson
invited him to a dinner to be given j
in his honor at the white house on j
December 6, and Mr. Bryan accepted.
On December 5 a dinner will be j
given to Mr. Bryan at the Hotel La- j
favette.
Secretary Daniels, who is a close:
nersonal friend of Mr. Brvan and who i
is suspected of having been instru-i
mental in inducing him to make a
home in North Carolina, gave a i
luncheon in honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan today. The guests included
Secretaries Baker, Lane and Redfield,
Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the!
president; Solicitor Cone Johnson, of;
the State department; Assistant Sec-;
retary of State John E. Osborne, and |

S BROTHERS, Al
Father Noah as a Farmer.
In Home and Farm of November i
1 I had occasion to refer to the incident
of Father Noah sending a dove
from the ark to reconnoiter for dry;
land. In this connection, I am reminded
that this venerable old navigator
took a great deal of interest!
in dry land, for just as soon as thej
flood waters receded sufficiently he
set about to establish a farm and be?in
life anew, as it were, for Moses
savs: "And Noah began to be a hus-j
bandman and he planted a vineyard." I
(Genesis ix, 20.)
It may seem somewhat remarka-;
ale that Father Noah went to farm-;
ng so late in life, for he was over!
500 years old at that time. Prior to
;he flood his energies had probably
Deen devoted mainly to raising sheep j
ind cattle, but as that cataclysm hadj
ievastated the earth of all livestock
ixcept the few specimens that were
saved by the ark, the old man realized
the imperative necessity of cultivating
the soil for a livelihood.
The exisiting conditions were exceedingly
favorable for agricultural!
jursuits. The great flood had sub-'
nerged the land for five months, j
eaving as it receded, a fine, rich de)osit
of silt.
The record does not state the kinds j
>f grapes that Noah propagated, j
rhere may have been several varie-:
;ies, or possibly there was but one
tind?a sort of all-purpose grape,
suitable for eating fresh from the
vine, for drying into raisins, for preserving
and making jelly of and for

rineyard had wine grapes in it, and
:he old man, unfortunately, upon one
occasion at least, drank a little too j
nuch of his claret. It is not stated j
:hat he was turbulent or boisterous, j
and the reasonable inference is that)
le simply imbibed too much of his!
iiome made wine and fell into drun-j
ien stupor.
While in no way attempting to excuse
drunkenness, let us not hastily j
condemn old Noah for his little in- j
iiscretion. We should bear in mind j
[hat he was over 600 years old at the
:ime the incident occurred. At such ;
an advanced age a very small quan- j
:ity of stimulant will produce intox-I
ioflton. Doubtless this was the first
^lass of wine that Noah had drunk
for several years. He had, in all
probability been used to drink wine;
prior to the flood, but when all the
rineyards were drowned out there
niust have been an interval of at j
least three or four years that the old
gentleman was wholly without a drop

of wine in his tent. The destruction \
of the vineyards probably caused
Noah to become a husbandman. Like p
Timothy, later on, he doubtless need- n
ed a little wine "for his stomach's n
sake." Consequently, in spite of the y
weight of six centuries resting upon c
his shoulders, he bravely accepted n
' 3 1M- . - L.I J
tne situation, ana, uKe a uuiu yiu- ?,
neer, he went to work. ii
Again, this home-made claret of s
Father Noah was pure, unadulterated v
wine, and being new its intoxicating h
power was great. Another thing in h
Noah's favor is the fact that this h
one little drunk seems to have been y
enough for him. We do not hear h
of his having ever again become in- e
ebriated during the remainder of his
350 years. There are not many F
men who can spend 950 years on this h
earth and get tipsy only one time. Ii
This fact alone speaks volumes in e
praise of Noah's high moral charac- g
ter g
After the cessation of the great o
flood we find him setting a worthy h
example to all following generations pi
by planting a vineyard and beginning s<
an agricultural career at the age of tl
over 600 years. How many old men, rthink
you, could be found nowadays! u
with sufficient energy and self-con-1 o
I
fidence to start upon an agricultural a
campaign at the age of 600 years? tl

Noah's career as a farmer also ^
roves indisputably the wholesomeess
of farm life. Although far reloved
from the period of vigorous
outh, and even beyond the sober,
alculating and conservative time of
liddle age, we see the grand old sexuple
centenarian embarking boldly
1 an ocupation requiring much phyical
exercise, but which so filled him
-*ith ozone and vitality as to prolong 4
is useful life 350 years. Suppose ^
e had undertaken the practice of
tw, medicine or dentistry at 600
ears of age, think you he would
ave lived the half of 350 years longr?
Hardly.
Of all occupations he chose the best
le chose the one most conducive to
ealth, longevity and peace of mind,
t is not probable that Noah's farm ^
ver was encumbered with a mortage.
Although the record does not
o into the minutae of his farming
perations, it is to be inferred that
e made the business at least iainjr
rofitable. The country was new, the
oil fertile, and we are not told
!iat he had any cockle burs or John- ?j
on .Trass to contend with. Ko v.ac,
o doubt, a happy, quiet and prosperus
old farmer to the end of his long
nd eventful life.?Dick Naylor in
