We have iievor utteiuled a more pleasant Conference than the one In Laurens just closed. Everything was the best -the hospitality, the woathor, the brotherly spirit, the sermons, the Bpeeches, the proceedings generally. And the Laurons church is a thing of beauty, as well as commodious and comfortable.?Southern Christian Ad vocate. Confcrenccc Itellecllons. The session of (ho South Carolina Conference held at Lnurens was in some respects more like the Confer ence of thirty year;; ago than any we have ever attended. Cor more than fifteen years wo have attended every session of the Conference and this is the only Con ference at which we did not hear more or less criticism and complaint sometimes severe and bitter. lint at this session of the Conference we did not hear a word of criticism. This fuel was observed by others and elicited comment The spirit of the preachers at Con ference was exceptionally line. The people of LlUd'CIIS did not stand on ceremony during the Conference but tried to make the preachers, dele gates and visitors enjoy their stay among them. Several Introduced themselves to Ihr- writer and express ed a personal wish that lie might have a pleasant stay in their city?Christ inn Appeal. From Pillar (o Post. The fowls and turkeys of Laurens which sought refuge in this count} during the Methodist conference, have apparently decided thai the wisest thing for them to do is to return to their roosts in Laurens before the del egates to the Slate Baptist conven tion reach here.?Union, Progress, Oh. .No! The Methodist Conference at Lau rens got by, so far as we have ob served, without any reference to tin old fried chicken joke. Surely w< are coining on better times. - Spartan burg Journal. Divided Sentiment. .Methodist sentiment seems to be di vided on the matter of Sunday excur sions. The Methodist Conference, in session in Laurens last week adopted a resolution strongly eon demning Sunday excursions, and now Iho Methodisis of Greenville are a> nind as tucker because the C. & \v. c. ' Railway wouldn't run an excursion I over to Laurens for them on Sunday. Which merely shown, among other I things, how Impossible It Is for the railroads to please all the people.? Honen Rath Chronicle. Didn't Hurt I s. LnuretlB is now probably the best I market In the State for chickens and eggs.?Anderson Dally Mail. The Chicken Joke Arrives. The Methodists of South Carolina have had their honor vindicated. They did not meet and adjourn without the annual chicken joke having a prom inent place in the annals of the meet ing, as a South Carolina paper so basely staled a few days ago. A visi tor to the city stated last night that this is a mistake and a reflection on I the Methodists of South Carolina, for which lie, for one. will not stand. As a fore runner for the joke, the unfor tunate and misguided reader hereof must know that the Methodist breth ren have a Conference song that is sung on their convening in annual Conference, This hymn starts, " and arc we yet alive and see each other s lace?"' This, of course, was enthusi astically sung in Laurens and was finite generally known throughout the town shortly after. When the Con ference had adjourned and the la-st traiulond of delegates had disappeared around one of the curves of curving old Laurens a big rooster stepped out from behind a large rock near the station and crowed lustily. This ex ultant crow upon the quiet Laurens air brought forth another satisfied crow as another stepped out from bis hiding place behind a friendly lumber pile. Tin- two naturally met and said, i no not the governor joke.i "and are we yet alive and see each other's face?" This is labeled as the only original joke of the 1908 Conference and will he safeguarded as such un der the laws for the protection ot dealers in rarities and curiosities, it is aid that this alleged joke is quite timely on account of the fondness for chicken claimed to exist among Meth odist ministers and "lay" delegates. I This coultj not be confirmed, however, and the presence of the two roosters still in Ha- land of the living would 'end to contradict the allegation which has long been accepted as au thority. The matter will be taken under advisement at the next meeting of the Conference. ?The State. Have you bought that new Cooking Stove or Range yet? If not be sure lo see our line before you buy. S.
