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. Presiding Eider Duncan's
oi arso or was then passed. Toe
Charces which I V. firpiohtnn

Bhowhl Not Be Allowed.
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

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.

was enoouraged by the news, but
he said that the department would In

Htock FoihI Fraud.
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

our farmers who are paying such
snormous prices for the mixtures,

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

act would certainly be appreciated by

General Wallace's Humor.
An Interesting anecdote of General
Lew Wallace Is related in Harper's
Weekly. While tho General
was serving as Governor of Now
Mexico ho shipped homo to Indiana
a carload of curios. Tho collection
Included a Mexican burro Intended
for a neighbor's child us a pet.
When tin) car reached Its destination
the freight agent misunderstood
the word "burro," and thinking that
it was a phonetic attempt to spell
"bureau," was unable to find any
piece of furniture to lit the bill of
lading. So, according to custom In
the matter of Irregularities, ho telographed
to the shipping-point:
"Car 3S.402, A lbuquorquo, consigned
Wallace, arrived, minus one
bureau, plus one Jackass. Pleaso
traco and notify."
General Wallace himself dictated
the reply, "Change places with
Jack ass."

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. Coming as dcei
with cheap alcohol as a fuel, coincident
with an ever InoreaBirg demand
for such motors on farms, In
shops, on vehicles, and in planes
where it was never lofore thought ef,
this new motor may he regarded as
one of the greatest bleH?.ings providence
through lCulson, has conferred
on humanity.
