METHODISTS AIM AT UNIO SOUTH CAROLINA CONFE1 EXPRESSES ITS HOPES. Florence Churches Join in Ol fcace of National Fcust of Gratitl on Thanksgiving. Florence, Nov. 30.?The South ollna Methodist conference introdu< the exercises of this day's session devotional services conducted by A. Murray. The pastors of the Oranj burg and Sumter district were lu in reporting the work of the year. The following resolution was un< imously adopted: Rejoicing over the prospects of unified American Methodism, South Carolina conference wisJ formally to express confidence in ability of the commissions of the great Methodist bodies to formula! an equitable plan of union; and shall hope and pray for the sp< consummation of this proposal to fill, in a measure, the prayer of Lord for the unity of His disciples. (Signed) "E. O. Watson, "J. S. Beasley."1 At 11 o'clock the spacious at torium of the church was filled, capacity by a great congregation Florentines and many visitors for purpose of observing the Thanks! ing service. All of the churches in the city ticipated in the service, each pai having a place on the programme*. Dr. John M. Moore announced his text the words of Solomt "Righteousness cxalteth a nation; .! sin is a reproach to any people.'* Moore showed that the foundath of every colony in this country laid in Christian ideals. The hoi and the church and the school simultaneously established by early colonists. The open Bible, its heavenly light on their desires their ambitions. The nation ni righteousness at tho ballot box, li schools, in the homes, of this coi Righteousness?the sense of right ness?must mark America's dealings with all the peoples of the earth as well as with the individual interests in this country. Just and fair must be its dealings with all men. Salvation will come by the promotion and the pre? valence of a right idealism. The country mist stand for the highest ideals in every realm of life. At the afternoon service Dr. Moore yielded to tho desire of the brethren and delivered an impressive address on tho vital them of "Evangelism." Methodism is itself the product of the evangelistic zeal which burned in the hearts of the Wesleys and their fel? low workers, he said. Those men were driven out by the spirit of God, not to the place of temptation but to the place of service. The "mourners' bench" and the "Inquiry room" are not contemporary with the beginnings of Methodism. Theso were unknown in England. They are American additions. Men were not led to the mourners' bench. They ran to it. Their desiro was to know God. The revival of the church is necessary before evangelism can roach the unsaved. People want a God that they can handle. What they need is a God who can handle them. The need is to bring to the people the gospel of life. The only way to build a church is by the "new birth." It Is not abuse that the world needs. It is enlightenment. Soul winning should be the prime object of the church's w ork. The conference has been greatly benefited by the ministry of this splendid worker. TOM WATSON ACQUITTED. Augusta Jury 1 Vela re* Georgia Edb tor Not Guilty.

Bishopville, Nov. 30.?On enterin? ? administration building of the e county agricultural and mechan al fair one is more and more as red that the people of Lee county, t least a very large number of them, ,re living at home and not stinting hemsclves in living, either. The rst exhibit that attracts one's at? tention at the main entrance is the hlbition of the Pedgreed Seed ?mpany of Hartsville. Here are seed in variety and abundance to jjpatlsfy all and, quality taken into con Sgideration, at prices that please, al? though seed are here quoted at from P$l per bushel to $5 per bushel for cotton seed and prices on all other seed in like proportions.

Not very far behind this were beautifully knitted red spreads, all the work of Lee county mn.trons. L terally it would take a genius to describe fully and give all credit where credit ia due to each of those who, either as exhibitors, officers, maragers and judges, have done so much, to make this the first fair of the Lee County Fair association a most supendous success. Just to chow the spirit of the Lee county generally and of the promoters of this show, it may be said that already plans are being made to increase the size of the buildings, which are to be brick veneered, thus assuring the permanency of the enterprise and re? ducing to a minimum the fire risks. One man who has attended such shows in several Southern States said this afternoon that this is not to be described as one big fair, but as a first class poultry show, a first class cattle show, a first class hog and pis show, a first class horse and mule show and one first class in every fea? ture?just six big, fine, first class fairs inside of one inclosure. The management desires every one to know that owing to the inclement weather on the first day and tho de? mand for such action on the part of the home people and visitors, the fair will run through Saturday, with every exhibit In place and every one on hand to keep the races, shows and everything else up to the high stand? ard set thus far. The attendance to? day was 5,000. ADAMSON LAW ENJOINED.
