GIBSON 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 RED ROUGH HANDS scaly, l ,lcc< t |n K palms, shapeless nails, aw painful Unger ends, pimples, blackheads, oily, mothy skin, dry, thin, and falling hair, itch ing, scaly acalps, all yield quickly to warm bathe with Cuticuba Soap, and gentle anointings with Cutiouha (ointment;, the great akin cure, (yticura If •eUthroogtKiutthewo’M.

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.

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 ald.

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.
