VINDICATED
Cleared of Charges of
Immorality,
A SENSATIONAL DAY
Former Presiding Elder of Rome District
and Pastor of First Church.
CENTRAL FIGURE IN PROCEEDINGS
Murdock, Formerly ot Rome,
Has Tilt With Bishop.
CARY’S CHARACTER CHALLENGED
North Georgia Conference Had a Stormy
Session Yesterday-Meets in Au
gusta Next Year.
Athens, Nov. 27. —The most sensa
tional part of today’s proceedings in
conference concerned two ministers,
who, at one time served churches in
Rome.
Charges of immorality had been
brought against Dr. J. T. Gibson, of
Atlanta. He was formerly presiding
elder of the Rome district and later
pastor of the First Methodist church
of Rome.
This charge against Dr. Gibson
started in Rome several years ago. It
was reported there that he was in a
room with a lady at the infirmary
and that the door was locked.
This was found to be true, and tne
' gossips spread it far and wide. The
fact was established by evidence sub
mitted to the committee by Rev. C.
O. Cary. But the lady's husband
appeared before the committee and
testified that he was in the room at
the same time. This made the charge
ridiculous and the committee quickly
agreed on its report.
Another Lively Scene.
Another very lively scene which
followed the Gibson episode was the
tilt between W. T. Murdock and
Bishop Galloway.
Murdock was on mission work in
and about Rome three years ago. He
was suspended by Presiding Elder
Thomas F. Pierce for engaging in
newspaper work. Murdock rose aud
said: I
“I rise to a question of privileged
said be.
“How can you do that when you are
not a member of this body?” said the
bishop.
“Then I ask the conference to grant
me hearing,” said Mr. Murdock.
Mr. Pierce rose and’ wanted to say
something, but Bishop Galloway cut
the quarrel short with the remark:
“That can’t be done without a
motion. I hear none, and we will
pass on. ”
This put Mr. Murdock on his met
tle, and straightening himself up,
reaching out his arm and shaking bis
long finger at the presiding officer, he
said:
’’l put you on notice, Bishop, that
I shall appeal to the general .confer
ence. I have been wronged in this
matter, and I have a right to be
head.”
"Very good,” said the bishop, ’’l'll
accept the notice ”
When the Rome district was reached
Mr. Murdock again asked a hearing,
and Elder Pierce hoped the conference
would grant it, and received an au
dience. Mr. Murdock stated that be
bad incurred debt in the East Rome
charge because of "sickness and afflic
tion, and accepted the editorship of

debts with the salary. Mr. Murdock
asked a committee and so .did Mr.
Pierce, and one composed of S. P.
Richardson. W. A. Dodge and P. M.
Ryburn was appointed.
Cary's Charac er’s Challenged.
When Rev. C. C. Cary’s name was
called “nothing against him,” said Elder
Pierce.
“I have something against him in the
name of the North Georgia conference,”
said Dr. Walker Lewis, and “and I arrest
his character.”
“I ask that a committee be appointed,”
said Mr. Cary.
The case, it ■is understood, is on his
attack upon Methodist administration in
his published article endorsing Mrs. Fel
ton’s letter.
Meets in Augusta.
Tfie conference by an unanimous
vote accepted the invitation of St.
John’s church, Augusta, to hold their
next session at that church.
HE GOT FUNNY.
S. P. Milam of Cartersville Accosted
Girl on Streets of Atlanta.
Atlanta, Nov. 27.—5. P. Milam, a
very prominent young merchant from
Cartersville, was ai rested. and locked
up here tonight for accosting a young
lady on the street.
Mr. Milam was standing on the
street when a very handsome and
stylish looking girl passed Milam said:
“Hello there you sweet thing, where
are you going?”
The young woman grew indignant
and calling an officer made charges
against Milam.
NEW AFTERNOON PAPER.
Atlanta to Have One With Judge Joel
Branham In It.
Atlanta, Nov, 27 —Atlanta is to
have a new afternoon paper with Judge
Joel Branham, of Rome, his son- in-law,
J. 8. Appleton, of New York and D. R.
Morgan to back it.
They applied for a charter today, and
the capital 'stock is to be $200,000.

( Rome’s leading churches today. There
j will be regular services at the First Bap
tist and St. Peter’s Episcopal churches. “

terian will both be closed. Rev. 8. R.
Belk is attending conference and Dr.
i.Goetchius is in Birmingham assisting in
organizing an independent colored Pres*
■ byterian church.
i There will be no services at any of the
Methodist churches as the pastors are at
tending conference.
Reduced Street Car iFare for School
I Children.
Incompliance with the urgent re
quest of many parents, Manager Mar
yin has decided to issue special tickets
for school children, at a reduced
' prise. The tickets are in books, each
containing thirty-three tickets, and
these books will be sold for one
dollar each. The name of the
child who is to use these will
be written on the back of the book,
and the book must be presented to
the conductor by the child whose name
is on the back, and he will tearout
the ticket. The book of tickets are
for sale at Manager Marvin’s office at
the power house and at Lloyd’s
grocery.
Thanksgiving Brings Reunions.
No other gala season of the year, not
even Christmas, sets in motion so many
forces, sees cars and boats so packed
with children and grandchildren going
back to the old home, sees old people
so forgetting their age and young peo
ple so honoring the old, and altogether
witnesses such beautiful reunions as we
find at Thanksgiving. Men immersed in
business cares take . time now to run up
to the rocky farm in Massachusetts, or
the prairie home in Wisconsin, or the
Wheatfield of Dakota, to be boys again
beside their parents. “I’m growing to
be quite an old gentleman, ” said my
friend, whose 88 years are his crown of
glory, “but I tell you when Thanksgiv
ing comes I’m a boy again, for my chil
dren aud their families all come back to
keep the day with me. ’ ’ —Christian Her

THANKSGIVING DAY.
A HAPPY TIME WHEN FAMILY CIR
CLES ARE REUNITED.
An Occasion When the Turkey Outshine
the Engle -Date of the Festival Chow-
In 1788 —Fitting Souvenirs and Games.
Seasonable Decorations.
For a long time the observance of
Thanksgiving day was an annual custom
belonging almost exclusively to the north
ern states of the Union, but now the ob
servance knows no north, south, east nor
west, and everywhere over our broad land
the beautiful custom rests upon us like a
benediction. From far and near the mem
bers of the family circle who have flown
away from the home nest find their way
back for Thanksgiving, like carrier pi
geons, bearing with them tender thoughts
and remembrance of the loved ones who.
with the poet, decided that “to stay at
home is best. ”
There is no law saying that Thanksgiv
ing shall be observed, nor is there need of
any, for the law of custom has decided the
matter, and the president issues each year
a Thanksgiving proclamation setting
aside a certain day in the latter part of
November for the general celebration.
The first public Thanksgiving day ap
pointed officially in this country was ob
served by the Puritans on Oct. 24, 1621.
In 1778 -the chaplain of congress recom
mended that “Wednesday. Dec. 30, be ob
served as a day of public thanksgiving and
praise.” In 1779 the first Tuesday in May
was set aside, and in October, 1779, Con
gressman Root suggested that the day be
changed to Thursday. Dec. 9. but in 1782
Thursday, Nov. 28, was chosen, and from
that time to the present the last Thursday
In November has been the day decided
upon for the great festival.
It is a good day to lay aside and forget
all differences and to keep in one’s heart
only the tenderness and sunshine out of
which the lips and eyes will make such
loving smiles and glances.
After father and mother, the oldest
grandchild and the newest baby, the next
most important Thanksgiving personage
is the turkey. He is a noble biped, and,
while it may not be his aim in life to shine
at the festal Thanksgiving board,,it is
most assuredly his end. The turkey is
the great American bird, and on Thanks
giving days he outshines the lordly eagle
in point of utility and as a subject for dis
cussion of the most absorbing kind. The
exact origin of the turkey is buried in ob
scurity, but he himself is so resplendent
that his ancestry may be forgiven him, or
rather the haziness of it may be. Any
bird so thoroughly satisfactory and admi
rable as the turkey must have had a noble
ancestry, and the proud blood of some
great and royal biped must 'perforce flow
gladly through his veins.
In the fore part of the sixteenth century
the old world had become acquainted with
the charms of the new world bird, and
wherever he has been introduced he has
made a favorable and lasting impression.
Who can imagine a Thanksgiving dinner
without its piece de resistance being the
turkey stuffed with chestnuts, oysters or
truffles and revealing its noble propor
tions and golden brown breast to the ad
miring gaze of the assembled diners?
Can it be possible that the turkey will
ever occupy a less lofty pinnacle than he
at present enjoys? Perish the thought I
Akin to our Thanksgiving day celebra
tion is the green corn dance of the Indian,
which probably had its origin hundreds of
years ago. It falls due every September
and is observed with great enthusiasm
and picturesque savagery. The event is
commemorative of the yearly ripening of
the corn and grain, and all the members
of the tribe assemble at a given place, ar
rayed in the glories of paint, feathers, red
blankets, beads, moccasins and other sim
ilar adornments. But, alas, there is no
roast turkey! In its place is a boiling
caldron of real dog! So saith tradition,
at any rate. But to return to civilization.
The exchange of Thanksgiving souvenirs
Is almost as universal now as that of
birthday and Christmas remembrances,
and really the occasion is eminently fitting
for such a custom. One always enjoy* the
possession of pretty souvenirs, for many
happy little memories cluster around
them, like sunbeams around a summer
rose. Thanksgiving souvenirs should not
be elaborate, but appropriate and sugges
tive of the merry occasion. All kinds of
cunning little bonbon boxes are now
shown, decorated with tiny gilt turkeys or
silvered baby pigs with tiny candy apples
In their Innocent little mouths. Small
paper pumpkins, filled with dainty bon
bons, are also timely little souvenirs, and
real Thanksgiving candies in the way of
sugar turkeys, an ear of ripe corn in cream
paste, nuts and pumpkins in chocolate
and barley sugar are especially appropriate
decorations.
Autumn leaves and flowers form beauti
ful adornment for the dining room and ta
ble, the halls and parlors, and only the
rich autumn colors of red and russet, tan
and gold and brown, should be allowed to
hold high revelry at the great autumn
carnival of the year.
It is a happy custom now for Thanks
giving evening to be filled up with merry,
informal games and dances, in which old
and young may both join with equal pro
priety Any of the games played during
the holidays and on birthday and social
occasions are perfectly suitable for Thanks
giving night, and proverbs, buzz, story
telling reading character in the palm, for
tune telling, quotations, the memory game
and others of a similar nature will afford
any amount of fun and pleasure to young
and old
A big, splendid, golden pumpkin,,
decked with vines about its base, makes a
fine centerpiece for a Thanksgiving dinner
table, or just the shell of the pumpkin
may lie used as a vase, and autumn leaves
and berries and vines may overflow its
golden body in the most gorgeou.- splendor.
One of the best ways to enjoy Thanks
giving is to contribute something to the
fund for supplying the poor and friendless
with a good, wholesome Thanksgiving
dinner. New York and Brooklyn have
many charitable people who will see that
the poor are ted that day, and it is one of the
sights of the great city to go among the
clustering thousands of unfortunates and
see them in at least one thankful mood,
however short it may be.
It is asserted by many that the first
Thanksgiving day in America was not es
tablishcd by- the pilgrims, but by the
church of England.' It is said to have
been celebrated at Monhegan, off the coast
of Maine, in 1607. A chaplain by the
name of Seymour preached the sermon.
Thirteen years later the Mayflower reached
Plymouth. -New York Tribune.
