Conference in Rome
Thursday Without
Results.
SEPARATE MEETINGS
MAY BE THE RESULT
Howell Committee Don’t Want to
Be Placed in Attitude of
Smith’s Guests.
The wrangle In Rome for the Joint
debate between Hoke Smith nnd Clark
Howell Saturday Is still undecided.
At another conference hold In Rome
Thursday morning between James B.
Nevln, chairman of the Howell com
mlttee, and Seaborn Wright, chairman
of the Smith committee, practically
nothing waa accomplished In deciding
the differences between them.
Both adhered to their position*—
right for the open air meeting, Nt '
for the opera house. After the con
ference Mr. Nevln said to the Georgian
representative In Rome:
"We were challenged to a Joint de
bate by the Smith committee upon the
same terms as were prescribed In the
Columbus debate, which we agreed to,
and that was to have equal say when
and where the debate should he held.
To that proposition we will hold.
’’We do not want to bo considered
In any way as Mr. Smith’s guests. Wo
propose to pay our full share of tho
expenses, and we think we should have
equal rights In the selection of the
place.”
Mr. Nevln atated further that If Mr.
Howell notified him that he would ac
cept the terms as set forth by Mr.
Smith's committee, he has nothing fur
ther to say, and the debate would, be
held according to the Smith plans. If
Mr. Howell said nothing, his committee
In Rome positively declines to yield to
the proposition.
Muddled, But Hss Hops.
after the conference was:
"Oh, well, the whole thing eeemi
be In a muddle, but I trust we can
come together without any trouble.”
When a Georgian reporter called at
Mr. Smith’s offices In Atlanta Thurs
day, It was stated that Mr. Smith was
not there then, but that the adjust
ment of the trouble nt Rome was be
ing left entirely to the aommlttee there,
Mr. Howell Was seen In his office In
The Constitution building, and said:
"I am willing to leave the whole mat
ter to my committee In Rome. What
ever they decide upon I will be bound
by. I do not think It fnlr, however, to
be placed In tho attitude of being Mr.
Smith’s guest. I talked with Mr. Nevln

"Aside from this I do not know that

ever, that they should seek to -take
undue advantage of me, as that has
been the tactics right along.”
Beginning of Issue,
Following the perfection of the ar
rangements for the Joint debate here,
“r. Smith challenged Mr. Howell tot
Joint debate In Rome June 33, and
another In Albany at a date between
July 7 and August 1. In the light of
the present wrangle In Rome the re
production of this correspondence will
prove Interesting:
Mr. Smith’s challenge to Mr. Howell
for the Rome and Albany debates was
as follows:
“Hon. Clark Howell, City.—Dear Sir
have an engagement to speak
Rome on June 23. I Invite you to
meet me there at that time for a Joint
discussion.
If the time named conflicts with
your other engagements, I will agree
with you on any date between the 17th
and the 24th of June.
"I also Invite you to meet me In joint
discussion at Albany,. Ga.
“I can agree with you on any date
between July 7 and August 1.
"I suggest that the same rules gov
ern these debates that governed the
Columbus debate, you to open and con
clude at one of the meetings, and I to
do so at' the other,
"Very truly yours,
(Signed) "HOKE SMITH.
"June 3,
Mr. Howell’s reply was as follows:
"Hon. Hoke Smith, 70S Peters build
Ing, City.—Dear Sir: I have yours of
even date, and In reply beg to say that
I will be glad to meet you, both at
Rome and at Albany—at Rome on the
date Indicated by you, June 23, and'at
Albany between the dates Indicated by
you, July 7 and August J.

are not perfected for the Joint debate
that both candidates will apeak '
Rome Saturday.
The Smith committee has decided

With an abiding faith that he la di
vinely railed to preach the gospel, yet
forced by circumstances to work every
day from 6:30 o'clock In the morning
until 6:30 o'clock at night, that he
might assist In providing the ordinary
comforts of life for his father and
mother, Wesley Brlnsfleld, u young
Methodist local preacher whose very
name breathes an Inborn spirit nf
Methodism, was arraigned at the dis
trict conference of the Methodist
church at the Walker Street school for
olattng the Sabbath day.
Some said that Brother Brlnsfleld
,was working on Sunday, that be might
moke more money. Yes, he was work
ing on Sunday that he might hold his
position by which he Is enabled to help
support his good father and mother.
Rev. and Mrs. Wesley W. Brlnsfleld,
of Banks county, Georgia. Waa this
man of God violating the Sabbath?
There was a difference of opinion
among the doctors of divinity.
“Draw the line on Brlnsfleld,” said
many of the delegate* Wednesday,
while others spoke In beholf of .the
young- man of blameless character.
"The Lord said we should remember
the Sabbath day io keep It holy, and
we must draw the lino somewhere,”
said ons good brother, doubtless un
aware that at the very moment he was
speaking the man whom he would deny
the privilege of preaching the gospel to
his fellows was busy at his dally task.
He was unable to absent himself from
his work that ho might participate In
the deliberations of the body that was
questioning his character.
Protests Agslnat Him.
Would those godly ministers draw the
line on Brlnsfleld? I-'or a tlmo It seemed
that they would. Urgent speeches were
made by some who claimed that no
man of God would work on the Sabbath
day: others protested In behalf of the
young man who for five years has been
aligned with the Methodist church as u
local preacher, and whose record was
unmarred. .. ..
"We are bringing Into question the
character of this young man who Is not.
here to speak for himself. I move that
w« defer action on his license until he
con come before this body and present
his side of this case." These words
from Hon. E. W. Martin, one of At
lanta's best known) lawyers, and a lay
delegate to the conference*, touched
many of hli colleagues, and they all
assented. <
He Speaks for Himself.
Wesley Brlnsfleld was to have
chance to speak for hlmaelf. An hour
was appointed and h* was on hand. Its
took but a- few words to tell of hi*
church work of the past year. The
religious seal that wsi enabling him
to deny himself to be able to help oth
ers could not be mistaken. His high
motive was a sufficiency and his unnn-
Imous vindication was no surprise. The
picture of that mother and father de
voting their lives that they might up
lift the poor and sin-ridden In a small
Georgia village, with no thought of
their own comfort, wa* before many
of those delegates who knew Wesley
Brlnsfleld's father.
Another picture was before their
eyes, too. Wesley Brlnsfleld, young
strong, with a spirit of youth nnd
good health apparent tn Ills every move
ment, could bo seen at his work In the
railroad office, tolling awny twelve
hours every day, yet with a light heart.
Sundays, too? Many times, but with
the same willingness on his part, and
for the same cause.
Was It surprising that this young
minister waa vindicated?
It waa a bright, manly face, Illumi
nated by a smtlf. that wa* noticed
moat when Wesley Brlnsfleld spoke.
The vote had Just been taken and he
was happy. The privilege of preaching
had not been denied hint. How happy
his good mother and father would be.
could be read In his clear-cut counte
nance.
Tall and slender, his face slightly
thinned by long hours In a railroad
office, neatly dressed, Brlnsfleld chat
ted a few minutes with the reporter,
though so modest that It was no easy
matter to g#t him to tell of his work,
his ambitions and his happiness at be
ing assured his license to preach.
"I Am Happy Now.”
“I waa getting a little afrpld when
I heard that my license would not he
renewed, and thought I had batter
come over and present my case. I am
happy now, and can return to my work
In an eady state of mind. I try to do
all the good 1 can and, (hough I do
have to work on Sunday a good deal,
I have to do lt- to hold my position. I
would enter tho regular ministry If I
did not havo to help my father and
mother. As It Is, I cannot afford to 1st
them do without all the necessities of
life. If I could get a pastorate that
would pay me 1700 a year I would be
the happiest man you ever aaw, and I
would not hesitate to tako It. But I
must hurry back to my work—”
Wesley Brlnsfleld lives at No. 201
Kennedy street. He has been In the
ministry live years and hopes some clay
to have a regular pastorate Charge. He
Is employed at the yard office of the
Western nnd Atlantic railroad, whera
he works twelve hours every day.
When opportunity presents tlaelf he
preaches at several little missions and
on Sundays always tries to arrange hi*
work so he can attend all tho church
services, and It Is few that he misses.
May a minister In the Methodist
church work on Sunday without violat
ing the Sabbath? The district confer
ence at the Walker Street church de
cided that with a purpose like that
evinced by Wealey Brlnsfleld, the work
he does on the Sabbath Is holy, and no
violation of the Lord's day.

BURGLAR ROAMS THROUGH HOUSE;
TWO LADIES BADLY FRIGHTENED;
BULLETS CHASE THE INTRUDER
The appearance of a bold and daring
burglar, who la supposed to have en
tered the front door by mean* of a
skeleton key, Wednesday night about
11 o'clock badly frightened Mrs. Leop
ard Davis, of 676 South Pryor street,

Officers Lindsay and Holcombe, made
an Investigation, but failed to And any
traco of tho marauder.
Both Mrs. Davis nnd her slster-ln
law heard the burglar as hs roamed
through the house, but neither of them
saw him.
They were up stairs at the time and
heard the burglar ascend the stairs.
They then heard hlin descend to the
first floor. The two ladles were afraid
to venture down stairs, but went Into
another room to call out of a window
for help. Before they did so, however,
the burglar again went up stairs and
started through the hall. Mrs. Davis
then fired three times out of a win
dow, at which the Intruder fled pell-
mell down the stairs and out of a back
door.
The shooting aroused the neighbor
hood, and It wa* only a few moment*
until a number of people had collected.
Mr. Davis was notified at No. 9 engine
station and qulckl arrived on tho scene.
Both of the ladles were badly scared
by the thrilling experience.

Report of Textile Establishments,
t'bnslatent with the practice of pre
vlou* years, the Southern Railway
Company hss prepared It* yearly state
ment of textile establishments operated
at points tributary to It* line* |n the
various states traversed, the record
closing with Jsnusry, 1906,
On the date named ths tsxtlls mill
equipment In these establishments
comprised 17*264 looms and 6,977,616
spindles, recording an Increase In the

2,166 loom* nnd 103,264 spindles, mnk-
Ing a grand total of 176,440 looms and

The future of the Southeast ns ths
home of textile Industrie* offering
economies In production nnd distribu
tion excelling those of any other sec
tion of the United Htntea, New England
not excepted, or of any foreign coun
try, I* becoming more strongly assured
by the record of each passing year.
Great as has been the development of
cotton nnd related Interest* In thla
section during the past year, the grow
ing market demands will call for the
erection of many new mill* In the near
future, and ai this necessity becomes
more manifest It will also become ap
parent that ths advantage of location
will continue to be found In the thriv
ing sections of Oeorgla and th# South.
