At the general Conference, which
j convenes this week at Sumter, we
notice in the Sumter Herald that
our three members are assigned to

H Felder, 208 W Liberty street; Rev j

The mission at the Episcopal
church conducted by Rev Harold
Thomas of Florence closed Monday
morning with a celebration of the
holy communion at 6:45 o'clock. Interest
continued unabated to the
end and all the congregations were
good, that Sunday morning being
the largest in the history of the
church. Mr Thomas is greatly
nloncf?H with thp supppss of the mis
sion and contemplates holding another
here at some future date.
We fairly feasted this week on delicious
comestibles presented by ouf
generous and thoughtful friends: A
bag of fine Virginia apples, a mess
of birds and a large jar of most appetizing
apple jelly, a wild duck and a
brace of squirrels. But, alas, we are
so spoiled that to go back to our regular
frugal fare is a great let down
and it will take a few days to become
reconciled to it. The good friends to
whom we are indebted for this Epicurean
feast deprecate publicity and
we respect their wishes.
Our good friend, Charlie McElveen,
presented the editor and our
Mr Tolley with those two prize
pumpkins exhibited at the canning
club demonstration. They were
beauties, taken from a vine bearing
450 pounds of pumpkins, and the
prize specimens were not weighed
separately. They were a most acceptable
Rift, as we had been hoping
in vain to buy one for Thanksgiving.
Needless to say.we are deeply grateful
to our ever-kind and thoughtful
friend.

ANOTHER RULING VS. FRANK.
Supreme Court Justice Lamar
Refuses to Interfere.
Washington, November 23:?Justice
Lamar today refused to issue a
writ of error to bring to the supreme
court for review the conviction
of Leo M Frank for the murder
of Mary Phagan, a factory girl, in
Atlanta, Ga, in 1913.
Attorneys applied to Justice Lamar
for the writ on the ground that
a right under the Federal constitution
had been denied Frank when
the jury's verdict was returned durinjr
his ahspn(-p from the court room.
It was announced tonight that at-!
torneys for Frank will carry to other
members of the United States
supreme court their application for
a writ of error.
Mr Alexander said he had not lost
hope that a writ would be issued.
He did not say, however, to which
member of the court he would apply
next.
