A. "heart to heart' tulk with the

ly Democrat-Onsotto signed by dry
goods, shoos and clothing merchant")
of the city. The statement is chara-
cterized liy Its frankness In that It
takes the people Into the confidence
of the merchants, so to speak, und
talks with them frankly about the
(•resent condition of the win lesato
.mil retail markets and conditions in
.nc nerui.
'I'hese merchants say that they
bought good expectlnK that the farm-
ers would get 80c per pound or better
for cotton. The cotton market trend
Is well known to all and needs no
comment they say. The meroliandlae
they have on their shelve* la going to
lie sold, reKiirdless of Its coat. In short
they say In one chorus "we are going
to take our medicine" by Helling the
goods, not according to the conditions
of the market when they bougbt but
according to today'* market They
recite that the people need the goods
an that they nee to get their stocks
hack to normal nonltlons.
No town in Texas has a better set
of merchants than has McKinney.
They are high class, clean eul busi-
ness men who helleve in and practice
fair dealing. They are doing their
utmost to make McKinney the trnd-
ItiK center of this section of Texas by
giving the greatest values to be found
anywhere. They are always ready and
willing to cooperate with the farmers,
the laborers and everybody for the
uphulldlnK of McKinney and Collin
County In general. They never turn
their hacks to those who need them
but may always he found ready and
willing to do their bit In every worthy
cause and undertaking.
McKinney Is the pltico to do your
trading for more reasons than one.
Leaving out the patriotic duty that
you owe your county seat town you
i mi trade In McKinney as a plain
business proposition of getting better
vnlues for your money.
Your attention Is directed to tlio
frank statement of theHe merchants.
Head It, with an tinblatJtcd mind and
place yourself In the frank, friendly
and fair attltcd i which the merchants
themselves take.
Thn closing paragraph of the an-
nouncement follows:
"We have brought to McKinney
the largest stocks of merchandise ev-
er shown in this town. We bought
theso stocks thinking the farmer
would get at least thirty cents a
pound for his cotton. No neod to tell
you what cotton has done. You know
it as well an we do. You need the
merchandise we have oil our shelves.
We propose to place It within your
reach. Hegardles* of what we paid
for these goods, we are . going to sell
them bused on today's market This
means we are going to take a heavy
toss on worlds of merchandise. That's
what we mean by taking our medi-
cine. nnd taking It now. We arc go-
ing to take this loss cheerfully be-
cause we think you lire entitled to

FOSTER'S
WEATHER
BULLETIN
Copyrighted 19-0 by W. T. l'o^tor.
Washington, !>. C., Oct. 2 8.—
About October 30 an Important
storm center is expected to occupy the
Northern Rockies; a day or two later
the Oreut Lakes; about November S
the ttastern sections. It will he u largo
and severe storm, reaching to Gulf of
Mexico, pushing before it high tem-
peratures al lover the country, und as
the cool wuve comes in frequent
showers and some heavy rains may be
expected. This storm will introduce to
your forced notice the best efforts of
November at making disagreeable
weather.
I gave you warning about Novem-
ber and urged you to get your out-
door affairs arranged for a bad weath-
er month and it Is coming. Worst part
of It will bed during the weeks center-
ing on November 3, 13 and 1!7. The
eclipse of the hiiii November ID will
have nothing to do with the bud
November weather, but eclipses are
related to weather events und there-
fore 1 watch und study them close-
ly.
Following storm described in first
paragraph above It appears from the
weather records of 187f>, 67, OU. 58,
fi; 1911, 1912, that a cold -wave will
come down through Alberta near Nov-
ember 1 nnd lilt St. Ijouls near Novem
her 3. Those northers are usually very
large and If it strikes St. IjoiiIs not
much of the country will lie missed by
It. Seems that it will also strike Cin-
cinnati, 1'lttsburg. Pa., and Ottawa,
Canada, a few days later. I made the
calculations from the old weather rec-
ords and the positions of Jupiter, Sar-
ui'ii. Mars and Prun us. These planets
seem to have centered Into n con-
spiracy against their little sister, our
earth, which is so small and insigni-
ficant that It Is not permissible to be-
gin lis name with a capital K.
Resides, our Interest in the weather,
generally, It be Interesting to wntcli
first week In November for a cold
wave that will affect all the country
east of Rockies. I believe the planets
indicate sir h an event. The planers
never lit, hut I sometimes err. It Is
a difficult problem to calculate, night-
ly, that a cold wave, probably a hlls-
zard, will hit. Alberta, St. Iiouis. Pitts-
burg and Ottawa the first week In
November. It would he a big success If
I am correct and no crime If I am
mistaken.
Someone hns lied or Is mlstnken
One side claims that Wnll street finan-
ciers caused the farmers to he robbed
of their cotton and grnln by a slick
little game of manipulating the circu-
lating medium. The other side claims
thut the National Treasury, through
the Federal resorve hoard, did It. Any
way yon fix it the formers lont a bll
lion dollars, more or less In a very
short time. This nil occurred In
America, not In Conndn. If thnt kind
of work Is permitted what's the use of
n government? T helleve our now fi-
nancial nnd honking system Is the best
♦hat Amerlcn ever adopted, but It Is
n very dangerous system If ony clique
of men is permitted to mnnlpulnte It.
Rettor turn the innnngement of nffnlrs
over to the women! they would never
permit such n thing. Tn rhino n linnk-
c- or a government official, guilty of
such trickery, forfeits his head, oc-
col'illngto their lows, nnd It ,tocs Into
the bosket. We need some hend-hunt-
ers' laws In tills country. Sell nothing.

BY I I-OilI.M l'. MAI*
Annual conference week in* a city
the slse of MiKlanu) Is .hi event of
more limn passing Importance. The
tuct thut the North Texas Conference
of the Methodist Wplseopal Church
South has u membership above four
hundred means a largo number of
visitors in tlie city. And since the flu-
unciul report tor lust year totaled ov-
er a million dollars, it may safely be
said that there is real business inter-
est in the sessions. Then thu fuel
that some of thu church's most
prominent leaders are to be hero
means that the people of McKinney
are to hear some of the greatest gos-
pel messugeu of the year. These
things combined with the coming of
our former pustors, and the renewal
of old friendships make this a week
of real human Interest.
This Is the third coming of thla
body of Methodists to McKinney. The
seventeenth hossion convened here In
November 18t>8, with Bishop Parker
Inthe chair, und ltev. li. A. ltourliuid
secretary. In November, 1901 this
city was again host of the conference,
with Bishop Wilson presiding and
with llov. J. M. Nichols as Secretary,
of the thirty-fifth session. Nineteen
years elapsed between these two
meetings here, and the same time
passed before thu present session
came to McKinney.
♦ ♦ ♦
Fifty-Fourth Sm-lmi.
When Bishop W. N. Alnsworth calls
this conference to order Wednesday
morning ut 9 o'clock, the l'ifty-fourth
session will begin, of course it is not
possible just yet to forecast who will
he secretary, but that responsible po-
sition has been held for the past
twelve years by Rov. R. O. Mood,
who hail also served for five years in
the same capacity previous to this
term of service. Whoever lie may be
ho will have need of a two or more
assistants, and tho statistical secre-
taries generally number not less than
three.
The financial affairs of tho confer-
ence are In tho hunds of L«. 13. Bird-
song of Greenville, who baa had thin
responsible position for soveral year*,
and who Is one of the busiest men at
the sessions. It. C. Dial also of
Grecnvlllo has charge of the Laym
of tho conference, having been I.
header for a number of yearn Til
year the old order changeth by tile
coming Into the conference of a num-
ber of wo^nen delegate*. Thlsls the
flt-st year that wonted hr.ve had the
rights of tho laity, and almost every
district Is remembering that she has
"equal rights" by sending at least one
woman to tho conference, iduch Dis-
trict has eight to ten lay delegates be-
sides their clerical representation.
The territory covered by this con-
ference is one of the richest In the
suite. It Includes nearly all tho black
land belt of North Texas beside the
rich oil lands about Wichita Fall*.
There ore nine Presiding IOlders dis-
tricts, all of them together covering
nineteen counties, Thero were 190
pastoral charges, and A 86 churohen
last year reported, representing «.
membership of uhout 65,000, with
church property vulued ut about
*7,000,000.
It Is not yet time for the forecast-
ing of appointments, us thut Is sup-
posed to he tho secret of tho Rlshop
and his cabinet of Presiding I'JIderS.
Neither tho McKinney pastor nor
Presiding Killer will bo compelled by
tho time limit to go, but there Is al-
ways the danger that some other
church will try to take a good preach-
er from you. of course there is less
■ lunger of this where tlie Bishop and
a cabinet have the moving power
than In caae of calls, lint tlie danger
remains that the tier-rt of another
church will outweigh tho need of your
own. Possibly there Is no church In
which thero Is more Interest being
manifested tn tlie pastor than In tho
First Church at Paris, where Rev. R.
P. Sliuler did such a great work bo-
fore hi* transfur to I s Angeles, and
in this connection It Is rumored a Han
Antonio church will bo the loser.

Knrly History of fVmferetioP.
Methodism entered Toxas in 1817.
The first das* was organised at
Joneshoro, Red River County, In the
territory of the present North Toxas
Conference. Twenty years later mis-
sionaries were sent to this state by
the Missouri Conference, and a year
later. In 1 838, Tex ad territory was
formed Into a mission, the first con-
ference meeting In Reutervllln in
1810, where seventeen Itinerant
preachers; twenty-five local preach-
ers and no laymen represented a
membership of 1623 In the wholo
state of Texas.
A rapid growth furnishes some
very Interesting facts for tho student
of Methodism from that time to the
present, and with tills history we dcul
here.
In April 1866, the General Confer-
ence passed a memorial admitting
laymen to membership In Annual
Conferences. This Conference also
authorised the division of the ofd
Knst Texas Conference, which dfvt-
slon was affected at tho meeting in
Jiffcrson thnt year, the northwestern
part becoming the Trinity Conference
with n territory of twenty-one coun-
ties lying north of the T. A P. Rail-
road from Jefferson to Dallas, and
northwest to Wichita Falls as the
Western point, the eastern appoint-
ment being Texarkana.
Trinity Conference met In Sulphur
Springe In 1887, with Bishop Mc-
Tvlere as the presiding officer and
Rev. W. C. Young secretary Seven

lay delegates and thirty-two prcuch-
ers were present. And of 'Ills num-
ber today there live only two, Rev.
.1 II. MtiA'in. who will thtn year an-
swer his fifty-fourth roll coll, und
Rev. W. C. Young now an i.ouored lo-
cal preach >r of MaMus IHstrlct. In
1 874 the name of the conference was
ehunged from Trinity to North Texas,
and four your* later the buuudeiieM
were adjusted to meet the needs of
the growing territory. And from thut
udjiistment has grown one of the
strongest conferences In all the Meth-
odist coiineoUou.
♦ ♦ ♦
luteal l'a«for Tw1i«e Hint.
Twenty-two Bishops have presided
over the sessions and only four of
them live today to read the history ot
this conference, Illshops, Hondrlx,
Candler, Mouxon and Alnsworth.
Nine Secretaries have kept the rec-
ord during these years, and It Is In-
teresting to note that twice the pastor
of this church, Rev. J. Sam Barcus
has been conference host, also that
the present meeting place, this
church, bus twice housed the breth-
ren In their deliberiith lis, Rev. J. H.
Mel.cuii was pus'or when it met In
this church before, und he will lie one
of tho most Interesting and Inlereit-
ed men ill iitleiidance ou this con-
ference.
There are many interests consider-
ed by an Annual Conference beside
the spllitut'i side of the church, oil
the organised auxiluiic* come III for
apeclnl retention, through boards and
committees. All tl.ese interests orci

Missionary activities of the confer-
