Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May '25.? The Methodist General Conference refused today, by a vote of 4S55 to 360, 4s. remove from the discipline of the (church clause which provides the penalty of expulsion for church members who play cards, dance ami attend Before the vote was taken a rule 'was unanimously adopted cutting of all debate but permitting brief speeches by Chancellor James R. Day, of Syracuse, who presented a report re/inpd inir ttliiyiin-ifinn nf ho olanco I .and by Frank Neff, of Tulsa, Okla., who spoke for the majority report, urging that no change be made. in urging the removal of clause Dr. Day proposed the substitution of a warning which he characterized as the .strongest pronouncement the church has ever made on this question. He asserted this was efficient to make the church's position clear as opposed by the amusements. Mr. Neff insisted that removal of the prohibition was equivalent to weakening the position of the church. He said 114 petitions against removing the section were received by the committee fr^m all parts of the coun try. '.The foreign and colored delegates "Voted almost solidly against any change, while the principal support came from the cities. More stringent rules regarding the remarriage by Methodist ministers of divorced p. rsons are provided in a report submitted today by the committee on the state of the church. 'The church has never recognized any cause for divorce except adultery and has always forbidden remarriage in any case where the divnrrprl wifo r?r husband is living. By the proposed change a minister who performs such a marriage is guilty of maladministration, arid is to be held answerable to his conference. The total abstinence by Methodist church members from the use of tobacco is urged in another report which states: "We record our solemn judgment that the habitual use of tobacco is a practice out of harmony with the best Christian life." Polygamy and the social evil arc condemned by the committee on temperance and public morals. The enforcement of laws prohibting the former is urged. Regarding the social evil the committee asserts that neither segregation nor punishment by fines is a remedy. T#e ccnr|tm!nity should official ly expel and disperse vice, it continues and the State should provide industrial setlements for the mentally deficient en honest place in society foi those mentally capable. .

THE HORRY H HOW IT FELT WHEN HE~i MORE MEAT-MAKERS rrilirn n inn n rtVYLK KAIUKBAIKS "Piney-Woods Rooter" is Giving Way to Better Bred Members of Hog Tribe The ungainly, unprofitable ho* itnowii as the razor-back is fast giv ng way in South Carolina to a b6. ter type?a safety type that insures reasonable profits from reasonable care. The well bred hog far exceeds the razor-back in both meat and pig production and modern farming conditions require that these two factors bo carefully considered whoti hogs are being selected. Good farming has no place for the razor-back, bocause good farming is first of all oconomical. Market hogs are storehouses in which grain, l'orage, and other feeds are stored up in the form of meat. The small granary is of comparatively little value; the profits' are in those having at least reasonable capacity. The razor-back is a "storehouse" with very little capacity and can not make rapid gains. On the 1 1 - ?- ... wuui iittini, si pis oi any or tne pop* ular breeds is capable of attaLning a weight of from 250 to 350 pounds a? nine to twolve months old; indeed, such weights are not unusual in th? Corn Belt. The well bred ho;? far outclasses the razor-back in regularity of breeding and ability to produce large litters of pigs. This is one of the most important points to be considered in hog-raising. Finally, look at this picture of a typical razor-back and then call to mind the appearance of any well-bred hog. The differences are so striking that a comparison seems absurd. *' ' ' \ *"' ' v : " ; . T < A typical "piney-woods rooter" one year old. The kind of hog not to have. It is less common In South Carolina than It once was. However, one need not begin with an entire herd of pure bred animals in order to succeed with hogs. The logical method is to use pure bred sires?whether breeding hogs or horses or cattle?and to grade up the herd at minimum cost. Decide on the breed of hogs you desire to raise, selecting from the popular breeds; use only pure bred boars of this breed, ^ 4 ^ I .1 1 a _ * HiiciviiiK uj nit; uiueii ciiuhuh, aim at the name time avoiding inbreeding; give reasonable care in feeding and general management.

As is well known, the American telephone is often very unsatisfactory, but the drawbacks are wholly eliminated by the Baryphone, which makes conversations on the longest distances just as clear as on short circuits, as the sound is carried to both ears and all noise excluded. Persons hard of hearing, who hitherto have been prohibited from using the telephone, can now use it with the aid of the Baryphone, which also will fjarmit two persons to hear the message without the use of double telephone. The Baryphone is the only sijtnple, practical and effective sound irttensifier in existence and is incomparably superior to all others especially as it leaves the hand free for annotations dlirinor fho nA?,ro?-c.ifirtn r x, - - - . . p, w.?Vy v\/iiv V/lQUblV/ill Increases the sound wonderfuily..

He was reelected successively for the terms begining March 4, 1807, March 4, 1813, March 4, 1819 ,and March 4, 1825. H|? died February 26, 1826, having served 21 years and 83 days, or three full terms of six years each and two parts of terms, and having been elected to the position five times. He was prsident pro tempore of thp senate i\ considerable portion of that time. Senator Tillman began his service in the senate March 4, 1895, and passed the 21st year of service March 4, 3916. Thursday Senator Tillman equalled the record of Senator Gaillard and today he passed it. Senator Butler. The South Carolinian with the next longest service to Senator Gaillard was Senator Matthew Calbraith Butler with 1.8 years, from March 4, 1877. to March 3, 1895. Next came Senator John C.

He entered the senate to succeed George McDuflie, : resigned, December 21, 1844, and served to his death, May 25, 1857, a matter of 1'2 1-2 years. Towards the 1 close of his service he aroused the anger of Charles Sumner who spoke [ very insultingly of him and of the State which he represented during his : absence.. Senator Butler was about GO years old at that time and not in good health. His kinsman, Preston S. Brooks* then in the house of representatives, resented Sumner's language and ended by caning him on the floor of the senate after the senate had adjournd. Gen. Wade Hampton. Gen. Wade Hampton served 12 years in the senate, from March 4, 1879, to March 3, 1891.

Pierce Hutlcr also served a little over nine years, but not continuously. He was one of the two first senators from South Carolina, commnecing his first term of service March 4,1789.

Representative of iSixth; District | LATTER EXPLAINS IT WHEN ASKED BY REPORTER Says It Is Political Move, Papers Have Been Lost or Stolen. Washington.?The Washington Star carried the following .story last week:. '"Justice McCoy oi the District, supreme court today cited J. Willnrd Ragsdale, representative in congress from South Carolina, to appear in court June 2 and show cause why he should not be required to surrender possession of certain promisory notes of the face value of $1,657.50. The notes are said to have come into the custody ot" Mr. Ragsdale last November, after he had been retained as counsel to enforce their collection. "The order of court is based on a petition for a mandatory injunction filed by the Free Sewing Machine Company of Rockford, 111. , through Attorney H. Winship Wheatley. "Several attempts have been made to procure the return of the notes, the court is told, and other counsel had to be employed to obtain a settlement with the indorsers on the notes. A settlement was effected, it is stated, and the plaintiff required to furnish a bond to protect the indorsers. "It is stated that Mr. Ragsdale claims no right to hold the notes, and the company expresses its willingness to pay any claim he may have for services rendered. The notes are needed for evidence in enforcing their collection, it is asserted". When seen by the State's correspondent and asked for a statement Mr. Ragsdale said: "This is a political move on the part of my enemies in South Carolina. Some time ago these notes were sent me for collection against certain parties in South Carolina, and they have either been lost or stolen. That is all there is to the matter." o NOTICE.
