DOCTOR THOMPSON
TWICE EXONERATED.
Investigating Commttees Report to
Benton Conference on Charges
Made Against Certain Clergy
Of Methodist Church.
Benton, Ark., Nov. 29.—Dr. W. E.
Thompson was twice exonerated by
the Little Rock conference today, and
will be given a clean bill of spiritual
health for his transfer to the First
Methodist Church of Memphis.
The committee appointed to hear
statements in the case against Rev.
James Thomas is still in session.
The fourth day’s session was opened
at 9 o’clock by Bishop E. E. Hoss.
Scripture lesson, first and second
chapters of St. Paul’s letter to the
Ephesians. Prayer by Rev. Mr.
Sanders. Bishop Hoss asked if the
committees appointed were ready to
report. They were reported at work.
After some routine business, the
committee appointed to investigate
the complaints against Dr. William E.
Thompson made the following report:
I “We, your committee appointed to
I investigate the complaints against
! Rev. W. E. Thompson, after hearing
all the parties and all the evidence in
connection with the case, beg leave to
report a trial unnecessary. ,
“T. H. Jewell.
“T. W. Ramsey.
“R. R. Moore.”
A motion was made for the adoption
of the report, and by a vote of 34 to
33 the report was voted down, and by
request of Presiding Elder J. H. Rig
gin a new committee was appointed
i to investigate the matter, as under
* the rules when a committee report is
k i not satisfactorv to a maioritv of the
I onference a new committee shall be
appointed. The following composed
the new committee: W. M. Hayes,
T. O. Rorie, J. A. ^.ge.
The committee reported on the in
vestigation of the complaint against
John R. Cason that a trial was un
necessary. The committee was com
posed of T. H. Ware, R. C. Moore and
E. M. Pipkin.
The second committee appointed to
investigate the complaint against Rev.
Wm. E. Thompson’s character re
ported they deemed a trial un
* lici essary, and this is the end of the
matter, in so far as complaints are
concerned against Rev. Wm. E.
Thompson, and his character will now
pass.
The case against James Thomas is
now progressing, and an early report
is eagerly looked for by ministers and
b citizens alike.
The committee on complaints against
>• Dr. J. F. Codbey has not reported.

d RIVER CHANNEL CHANGES.
E. R. Butler, while in Newport Mon
0 day, confirmed the reports which had
reached here, of the channel of White
s River changing above Batesville. The
river is now running around the lock
0 and dam just completed, having cut
through on the opposite side from the
city of Batesville.
What the cost of keeping the river
to its former banks and of remedying
this outbreak upon the part of White
1 River, will be, is not known, but the
; government is evidently spending
millions upon the improvement of
such waterways, where no practical
or valuable results are ever accom
plished.
PURCHASED SUPPLIES.
I
H. Bernstein returned Sunday night
from St. Louis, via Cairo, where he
met his daughter Miss Blanche, who
has been visiting in Fulton, Kentucky.
Mr. Bernstein says that no one will
be ashamed of the spread Tuesday
night, of which he has very properly
been placed in charge, for no one
knows better how to get up an affair
of this kind, and Mr. Bernstein is
giving his personal attention to all the
arrangements. With $300 subscribed,
the sale of plates will probably run the
amount to be spent upon the affair
close to $500.
FAVOR A GAME LAW.
The farmers of Lonoke and Prairie
counties are in favor pf a game law
being passed prohibiting any game
from being shipped out of the state.
It is felt that a law of this kind must
be passed to prevent the extermina
tion of game.
