At the morning services a brief resume of the year's work was read by the Da pastor, showing all claims against the church paid din full, while some of the items are paid in excess of the assessment. The total amount paid by the church during the year for all causes, incinding salaries of pastor, presiding elder, organist and sexton, amount raised on district parsonage fund, incidental expenses and conference collections, is $3.106 80. The to report the annual conference will also show gratifying evidences of improvement along all other lines of church work, the roll showing a net gain of ten in membership for the year after a careful revision of the church rolls from which many names have been dropped on account of death, 1 removal or other causes, while the Sunday-school, Epworth league and other organizations within the church are in a healthy condition.
The pastor congratulated the congregation on the showing made and expressed his gratification at being able to carry up such a favorable report to the conference. Evidently, however, the congregation felt that the pastor was chiefly responsible for the unusually excellent showing made, as evidenced by the adoption in open church conference Sunday before last of the following resolutions: Fayetteville, N.

Many Thousands Go. Up In Smoke. A few minutes before eleven o'clock yesterday a fire originating from the spread like wild fire over the boiler plant of the Hickson Lumber Company in southwest Fayetteville, and in less than an hour and a balf, $8,000 worth of property was destroyed. The Lacy Manufacturing Co's big furniture plant adjoining was saved after bard work, and with the assistance of a favorable wind, as was also the big oil tank of the Standard Oil Company, not more than one hundred yards in the rear. The wind was blowing directly away from the tank, otherwise it would probably have exploded, and in any event burned, its flames enveloping every.
thing it flammable within a great radius. As it was the fire covered an area of about an acre and a half. The scene of the conflagration being almost on the edge of the city limits the fames had made great headway when the Fire Department arrived, and then it took every piece of available hose, some 1400 feet, to reach from the near est bydrant. The pressure, at first, was poor, but increased considerably after a time. The Company, thus bandicap ped, did valiant service, and confined the fire to the area it had already covered, saving the big dry house, where 30.000 000 feet of lumber was stored, and several piles of lumber, within the breath of the flames.
A number of freight cars on the siding were early shifted out of harms reach. The plant destroyed was the property of H. A. Rankin and was under lease to the Hickson Lumber Company. Besides the plant used by the latter company, Mr.
Rankin's splendidly equipped Novelty Works plant was to tally destroyed with all its contents. Rankio Company's loss is estimated at fully $6,000, with only $2 000 insurance, and the loss of the Hickson Lam ber Company is estimated by Mr. Joo. F. Hickson, the manager, at fully 500, with $2 300 insurance.

Supreme Court Decisions. The Supreme Court handed down decisions in Bynum vs. Clark, affirmed, and Slocomb vs. City of Fayetteville, confirmed, on Wednesday.

The plaintiff appealed, and now the Supreme Court affirms the lower court, declaring the bonds valid. The plaintiff sued for himself and all other tax-payers, and the lawyers say the decision is final, as every one who wished to contest the validity of the bonds had to seek relief in the action.
