Meets Every Four Yaars.
The General Conference meets every
four years and is the law-making body
if the Southern Church, which includes
several million communicants. A total
of JOS delegates are expected to be in
ettendance at Asheville this year.
On account of Its beautiful location
and Ideal climate. It is said that An
effort wlU be* made to have Asheville
selected as the permanent meeting
place of the Conference. Richmond
was a candidate for the Conference four
years ago, but will not be a candidate
this year, ft is stated.
in accordant e w ith'the rub s of the
Conference. Bishop Wilson. of Balti
more, the senior bishop, will preside
the first day, and the other six bishops
will take their turn, according to seni
ority. In presiding Over the sessions
for a day each. On the eighth day
Bishop Wilson will again preside, giv
ing way to the other bishops in the
same order yaeh day.
To Chooss Six Bishops.
“You can never tell where the light
ning is going to strike," remarked Rev.
\V Asbury Christian, of Richmond.
Thursday, when asked ns to who will
probably be chosen to the six vacan
cies In the episcopacy to he filled at the
approaching General Conference
Among the Virginia ministers men
tioned for the episcopacy are Rev. W.
r Young and Key . Walter Rambert.
Another subject which will receive
the attention of the Conference is the
question Whether presiding elders shall
tie elected hereafter at Annual Con
ferences instead of tioing ^named by
bishops, ns at present. Whether the
limit rule regarding the pastorate shall
he abolished is still another question
to he considered, and there is a belief
in many quarters that this will be done.
In such so eventuality. It Is pointed out.
this would not affect the holding of the
Annual Conference, as the pastors,
serving the customary four years,
could then lie appointed for a fifth year
or for more.
Changs Order of Worship.
In view of the fact that tin present
order of worship Jn many (hurcf.es is
regarded us beitf&'itto much In the na
ture of a ritual, an effort will be mad.,
it is said, to have all the churches get
hack to the original simple method of
worship. A number of suggestions to
this , (feet have hen made in church
papers of late.
There is much speculation a** to what
action the Conference vv: l take on On

:raU all over the Ninth district aro.
paying their poll tax and getting In
readiness to vote this fall In the con
test between Representative Blernp,
Republican, and Henry C. Stuart, the ;
Dembcratic nominee. The Democrat* ,
ire more enthusiastic than for years, |
ind the prediction Is freely made oni
every side that Henry Stuart will
»weep the Ninth district. j
The Democrats have their shoulders j
lo the wheel and are quietly work- j
lug. They realise that the work to j
be done now Is that of getting the<
voters to register. Little In being said j
while wood Is being sawed.
The absence of Mr. Stuart, w ho;
was called to the bedside of his wife ;
in Paris shortly after his nomlna-1
tlon, has not operated to dampen the >
ardor of the Democrats In the least,j
because It was the understanding at
the convention In Bristol, March 1, j
when he was nominated, that he i
would feel privileged to leave the city j
anv moment and not return until the;
close ollhe- campaign lt-hla wile's!
health demanded hts presence In
France, where she has been for more
than a year.
Mr. Stuart's ambition Is to be Gov- j
ernor of Virginia, as he stated Just!
before leaving, and If he Is electeu
to Congress In the Ninth and redeems
It for his party. It Is not believed here,
that there will be the slightest doubt
about hl« election a» Governor.
The Democrats of the Ninth are all.

for the Common Council of the I1
City of Richmond. For 18 years, j
I have been employed by the C.,
