WE WELCOME THEM BACK .It will be gratifying to the many friends of the ministers who., served Charges In fha City to learn that they b?/e been, returned by the Methodist encCarence.

The changes that have been made in other charges ia the district will, we trust, bo acceptable to the people of their several communities. One minister trill be missed because of his big whole-souled personality, and the con geniality and friendliness to everyone ot his wife, ia Rev, W. S. Meyers, of the Townviile charge. For. the now ministers we would urge a cordial re ception, and kind attentions on the part of all, and we are aero they will s&W with thte cordiality. The Iota].

Mr. Morrow waa with The Intelligencer for several months as linotype operator, going from hen. ?o Charleston where he was with the Charleston Evening Post in a similar capacity. He was formerly editor of the Belton paper and made many friends there. The first issue of The Press and Standard under Mr. Morrow shows considerable improve ment, and he bss taken hold of the proposition down there with great energy. We predict for him a success ful and profitable connection with this newspaper. CONFERENCE DIVIDED The division of the South Carolina conference ha., been accomplished, and the State now has two confer ences. The division was not accomp lished without opposition, and al though there was an overwhelming majority In favor of the division, there was a determined minority who were hard fighters. Now that there has been a division made lt ia hoped the Methodists will fall in with the new order of things und make the confer ences harmonious and if there be merit in the division, let each get the greatest good out of lt. The Upper South Carolina Conference must not lag or allow the lower conference to outstrip lt, but the Piedmont spirit must be shown in this as In other things and we must lead. "BEING ON THE RIGHT HIDE.** This is th. caption of an editorial appearing In yesterday's Issue of the Greenwood Journal. We do not know to what newspaper the Journal was referring, but If there be such a news paper lt deserves to succeed, and we heartily concur in what this editorial says about the matter of doing right. One may not always agree with a person or a newspaper standing for something and having the courage to express honest convictions, but every one will respect such a newspaper and such a person. Then, it often hsppens that persons disagree today on one is sue' and tomorrow agree equally ss heartily an another. So, when there are honest differences of opinion, there should' not be unkind feeling because of the difference. The Journal, which is outspoken on matters of right, says: ' A gentleman 'remarked to ns this' morning that the success of a cor? taih newspaper enterprise in another city was assured because lt was on tue right sida on sit morsl Issues. V e have known fer a' long time that thia was true, and have tried to act upon lt regardless of consequences, and we have never had any fear of failure. People may fall out with a man .because he stands four square, but they can not keep from admir ing his course. Of coarse when they are in the wrong they are going ta condemn tba manly Independent fel low who speaks his convictions, and predict ell kinds of bad things for him, hut their stand ls a commenda tion and a help rather than- an in jury No one should fall to do right for business consid?r?tl^r s or for any other consid?rations. The thing to do ts walk ont Into the open and let the world end the devil know where you ere. And it is especialt> right to let the forces that stand for good know that you can be counted upon when your services are needed. Popularity! O, well who caree for popularity that costs one the price of courage and Independent ?man hood! Being on the right aide is tba main thing' * And an with men so with newspa per*. It ls Just ss important that thsy should be on the right aide on all questions as it ls tor the Individ ual. It ia not a difficult matter for even an editor to know when a thing ls right or wring .

CI?Y ATTORNEY FILES REPORT WITH COUNCIL REGARDING DEVELOPMENTS IN FRANCHISE MATTER SINCE DELIVERY OF OPINION LICENSE MATTER Taken Up Last Night and Only Partially Disposed of-At torney*? Report. Meeting in Bpeclal session last night at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of taking up the license ordinance for 1910, city council made some head way into the proposition, getting down as far as the letter E in the alphabet ically arranged list of various bus? nesBes and callings for which license is exacted by the city. The matter will be resumed at other special meetings to be held in the near future and dis posed of before the expiration of the present calendar year. In addition to consideration of the license measure, city council last night listened to a report from Cf?y Attorney G Cullen Sullivan wit', reference to proceed ings that Ii Ad taken place since ha submitted on November 9, 1914, his opinion declaring invalid the fran chise-contract and white way contract of the Southern Public Utilities com pany. As generally known, city council this year is confronted with the task of making up a license system on an entirely new basis. Instead of u*in& the old "flat" jystem in vogue here tofore, a graduated scale of assessing license must be used. In making ua the ordinance for adoption, city coun cil has called upon the city authori ties of Greenville for a copy of their law on this subject. The report flied last night by City Attorney Sullivan, which wai. receiv ed as Information, is as follows: TO THE CITY COUNCIL OP ANDER SON: Gentlemen: On November 9th, 1914, I read be t?r you and filed a written report and and opinion as to the validity of the alleged franchise-contract and White Way contract of the Southern Public Utilities Company, in obedience to your formal Instruction embodied in a resolution passed by you September 9th, 1914, in which I expressed the view thst under the authority of cer tain decisions of our Supreme Court I wss compelled to advise that these alleged contracts were invalid be cause, among other reasons, not in ac cord with those decisions. Thereupon, after discussion, you passed a resolution, a part of which adopted the following recommenda tions contained In my written report, U. wit: ? Tb?? I be authorised to fur nish a ccpy of this opinion tc Southern Public Utilities Com pany with an Invitation to Ita at torneys to confer with mo and associate counsel with a view to some agreement by which the city and the company may avoid all unnecessary expense, litigation, misunderstanding and confusion consistent, of course, with a prop er protection of the Interests of both parties S That, if in my judgment and that of associate counsel, lt ls wise to do so, I he authorised to propose to the company that the issues to be submitted upon sn agreed statement of facts. 5, That, subject also to ?ny juus msnt and that of associate coun sol. I be further authorised to propose that the cltlssns Interest ed be given a reasonable time to present a petition ot a majority ot the. freeholders asking tor an electron upon the the issues, such election, of course, to be held it sud petition be flied within such time. I beg leave to report that In conse quence of the resolution adopted th\ recommendations I had a copy of my afrltten opinion delivered to Mr. H. A. Orr. tbe local manager of the com pany, the day after my report waa flied with you and knowing that the officials of the company would prob ably wish for a few days for consider ation, I Informed Mr. Chapman ot the Company, a' few days later' that the oliy attorney and associate oounsel for the city would be glad tc confer W lui \uo Mv.w. ..?j ...... wm?. i of the company at their convenience. A day or so lalor I gave Mr. Orr substantially the same message, think ing that Mr. Chapman had perhaps neglected to transmit lt No .reply to these invitations has as yet formally reached me. although t presume from the letter of President Taylor tn reply to that ot Mayor God frey, with which you are doubtless familiar, that the company for reas ons satisfactory to itself does not de sire a conference. I therefore report to connell for Its information that Its instructions te me, resulting from tho adoption ot the above recommendations, were carried out with tho above results. My purpose ta making Ute recom mendations wss to facilitate a final settlement of the Issues by. aa agreed statement of th? facts for tho courts to consider or aa agreement to sub mit the matter to the qualified votera ot the city upon petition ot freehold ers with as little delay as possible. If tbe question ls submitted to the qualified voters of the city with an agreement that this shall end it and thereafter there la to be no litigation tn the courts by either side, this wli* undoubtedly be the quickest, least ex pensive and most permanently sstls fscot ry solution of the question. Any taxpayer or citlaea can force the qsealion to issue ta months or years to como even it the press?t connell should not do so. If. on the other hal? J. aa election la held now without any agreemsov a* to litigation in the courin, the company could of course resort to the courts. If the election went against it, and delay the mater for a long time eren if the city was successful flunl ly. It was therefore my idea that much time, money, litigation, misunder standing and confusion would have ben saved by both sides by a confer ence, even though the company decid ed then thst lt preferred to test the right of the people to vote upon lt at all in the courts before agreeing to be bound by the result of an election. Even In that case an agreed statement of facts for the courts lo consider would have saved much time, money and misunderstanding. It ls of course, the right and pre rogative of the company to do as lt pleases in such matters and I can only report its apparent decision aa indicated by its failure to reply to m> invitation and the correspondence with Mayor Oodfrey.
