4 * Upper Conference Makes Appointments GREENVILLE, Nov. 21.—A reso lution favoring retention of the 18th amendment was adopted by the Uppen| South Carolina confer ence o^ Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which adjourned here today after readings of ap- * xtments and hearing various ilttee reports for the year. The conference endorsed the in vitation of Columbia for the 1934 general conference of the church while the matter of next year’s meeting place of the upper confer ence was referred to the presiding elder. A cut of $10,000 in the 1933 bud get was made, the reduction being made from $135,023 to $125,098. Reports showed collections of the past year were considerably below those of a year ago. Hie committee on temperance and social service recommended the resolution calling for retention of the 18th amendment and enforcing acts. . The resolution opposed re- submission and declared against any relaxation in enforcement of the state code. Newspapers sup- porting the dry cause were com mended. • v An unusual number of changes occurred in the assignments of new pastors for the coming year but only one^cjaa^ige was made in the list of, jH^siding elders.
