t WAS RULED OUT. Rev. C. W. Creighton Not Allowed to Prefer Charges Against. THE MM W.T.DUNCO Who Ho Says Pocked a frwmlttee to Try Hia at Greeawood. Copy of the Complaint Mr. Crclffetoa Wanted to Submit to Conference. Among the first mot tori taken up In the South Carolina eonferenoe last week In Columbia was the eelebrp.ted Creighton oaae. whioli oamo OYer In m the oonferonoe of thp year before. JU will bs remembered that all the last, oonferenoe fcheol araoterof Mr. Cre'ghtou was arraigned by the presiding eider of hia district, It being charged that Mr. Croigb*on had published slanderous efccittnoenfcu tn biu about the presiding eldoT^i^t bung alleged that- llr Orcighton had car* ed that the presiding ciders were guilty of graft. The oc. e at that tin? attracted p great deal of intercut and taufled a b'g sensation. There were two faQtloas, on? fcr king 8ldM against Mr 'Jreigh ton, the other -allying to his support. A committee appointed to investigate the orue, but no report was made, and the case was carried over for a year. In the meantime Mr. Creighton was given bo wort aud was virtually suspended from the ministry. Mr. Crolghton's friends claim that ho was ri idy for trial a last year's oonfcreroc, and that the past postponoment of h?c%se and re fusing to give him v/ork;stras *u outrage and intended to t.umilat? him. The committee that hid been *p pointed to try the oaae at the conference of last year met at Greenwood l^st summer aud took testimony. During the investigation there was another scnaatiou. It appears that when the committee met at Greenwood and asueuubied in & room Mr. Grcightipn was on hand, bringing with him a young woman stenogrupuer, declaring that he was going to Vnvn all r.f l.ha f.*B' 1 B ! ? - M vi vub vno^i-uvajr UUW L> and published to the world. The e:>m mlfctee prowe3tnd against the prcasoae of the stenographer and Invited hei to leave the room. This brought Mr. Crelghton to his l feet, and the accused minister made a most vigorous protest, declaring that If an effort was my.de to eject his stenographer he would eaii In polios protection. He carried his point aud the stenographer was allowed to remain and take down the evidence. This ended the matter until last week, when the matter came up again In the oonferenoe at Columbia last week. Mr Orelghton was on hand ready to oontest the oase to the end. As stated above Mr. Orelghton was suspended at the conference of last year under the charge of slaDder and lying The oharge w?u brought by presiding elders then in office, whom the Rev. Mr. Orelghton had orlllolsed In his paper, the Onristlan Appeal. He had opposed system of paying the presiding elders of ths ohuroh ever since he has been editor of the Chris ti&n Appeal. Under the present system the presiding elders are allowed a percentage of the collections of the ohuron, which according to his view la wrong. He thought that under the system the presiding elders got salar les altogether out of proportion to many of the ministers on stations and circuits. He also claimed that many ef the pres ditg eldt-rs are too dictatorial an:. that they are clothed with too great authority. He has written freely and frankly on the subject and it is safe to say that he will continue to tspeak his thoughts througn his paper. Mr. Crelghton's paper has a large olrcula tlon and seems to be growing. He has a great many warm friends both In the ministry and among the laymen of the ohureh, who agreo with hlaa In most of his charges against the system. r \ Oa last W#(h Jftay in the conference when the ministers oharaeuere were called, beginning with the presld ing elders, their oharaoters were pass* ed without without challenge until the name of the Ray. W. T. Dunoan was called. Mr. Orelghton arose and attempted to prefer charges against him. Bishop Wilson promptly ruled hlmouv, saying that as Mr. Orelghton bad been suspended, be ooull not pre fer a c urge. Mr. Orelghton made a sarca.vio reply to the ^effect that he suppoud he would have to bow to the fact th it a man who has been banged h? s no appeal.

One neighbor should not allow hie stock to depredate upon hli neighbor's fields. There is no telling how muoh tronbls and annoyanoe this Is to a man who is engaged in railing grain and winter vegetables. The law requires that all stcck should be shut upaud not bs allowed to run at large, but a man does not want to t ke up his neighbors stcck when It annoys him and no man should force his neighbor to do it by failure *o ob ucrve the amenities of life. E rery man should praotioo the golden rule, that Is to do to others as would have them do to him. So If your stock is running out and annoying your neighbor, be neighborly and shu1: r.hem up, as you would want him to do if his stock was annoying you. Water Powers ol the Btate. Oapt. W. E. Gonzales, chairman of the South Carolina Jame*town commission, is very anxious to Make a flue ropresention of South Oarolina'a water powers. For this purpose he requests that photographs of developed and undeveloped water powers be sent him. South Carolina has done more than any other Southern State to harness tho water powers, but there?is yet a world of power looked up in the tumbling streams of this State, and he wishes to show this to the world as an invitation to oapltal. dipt.

The UUeig'i Progressive Farmer prints a notable arslole exposing t.- e stock food fraud, which it prouounoes the most stupendous swindle now be lng practloed upon Amerloan farmers Millions and millions of dollars are spent every year?several thousand dollars a year perhaps In this very country?for gaudily advertised "stock foods" "oonditlon powders" etc., for farm animals, white the investigations and tests made by the Experiment Stations have demon strated that these preparations are nothing more than common meal, bran, eto , with a little cheap sulphur, salt, Epson salts, pepper, saltpeter, etc , added to change the taste and the mixture (hardly more valuable than ship stuff) put up In flaming packages, adverthod In farm papers, indsold to gullible farmers at rates ranging from $250 to $2,500 a too. Those stock foods, waloh can be found in almost any country store, have recently oeen tested ia seven .1.throat Expc.injut Station", and our farmers who are paying such snormous prices for the mixtures, duuld us lniorested in tine remit? as reported by Tire Progressive Farmer.

Tilts is a sug gesbioa that might well be acted up on by the patrons of every ru al route. Tho carriers have a governmoat poittion, it is truo, but it la b" no means a soft snap. It takes a good deal of managemant to inako both ends meet when they are obliged to keep two horses, )lv? in town and buy all the neoojssary provision at the market prios. The carriers of our country have gone over their routes during the muddy woatbor at a great lno mvenicnoe, and are always faithful in the discharge of their duties. A. bushel of com or so given to the carrier would hardly be missed by the farmer, but It would be a great saving in he ex pease of horse feed and the generous act would certainly be appreciated by the faithful mail msn. Mast Hang. R. A. Adams, who was convicted several years ago of the murder of Henry Jacques at Gottagevllle in Coletna Gmnty was last FrlJay resonoeiosd at Walfcerboro to bs hanged, the day being set for the fourth ITrliay la Janurary. Adami was convict '.d of the crime and sentenced to bs hauged about two years ago. He escaped and was at liberty for some inn Finally he was re captured and since that time has been in jail, his easebolag in the courts on question* of law. The supreme court was finally appealed to and the justloes of this oourt and the circuit judges sat enbane on the case deoidlding against Adams. The man will probably be hanged as the governor and the par dontng board have already been appealed to In vain. Ui?ok Fatti Dead.

It is satd to ba all that oould be desired as a motor?infinitely longer lived than any battery now in use, so light It can be used to run a bloyole or light vehicle, remarkably cheap, and its cost of operation is next to nothing. This wonderful engine was entirely complete several years ago, aod almost any other man than the mighty Edison would have at once placed it on the market, leaving the publlo to discover any possible defects Not so the Wlxzard?he desired a thorough teat. He placed them at work under every conceivable handicap and strain. Some represented automobiles speeding over corduroy roar's for months, and Infinitely more required of tbein than will ever be demanded In ordlnarv uho. These tests thousands of iraohlnes, have proven the battery all thai, can oo desired in a cheap motor. It Is the longest step In the use of eke r'olty an a motive power, ytt attained, it greatly simplifies the problem of aerial navigation, giving a motor light, but powerful enough to drive a huge vesuel. As heretofore, the Inveuter had had to piactic&lly create the material of which the motor 1b roaclo. He has had to search the world for r?re minerals, and from his giant mind evolve practical methods of transforming them into the wonderful mcchsulhm the world Is bo ragerly awaiting. There is no doubt this motor Is well nigh perfect as a che p, Indestiuctlhle power.
