Bishop U- I>arlin ? ton,
Huntingtofl, W««t Virginia,"? who*
will preside over the sessions of
the "annual North Georgia con
ference, which meets here Wed
nesday motiving, arrived in the.
city last night and is a distin
guished guest in the hospitable
horns of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph M
Thomas on South Eighth street.
The bishop came in from At
lanta, where he preached at St
Paul’s Methodist, church yester
day morning. He was met hy his
hosts and quite a number of th'
members of the Methodist de
nominations, who extended him r
most hearty welcome to Griffin.
All day today the bishop has
been buri!^ engagedin his headf;
quarters in the Thomas home and'
numerous Griffinites have called'
"there to see him and exchange
greetings.
Silent On Unification
The bishop is a very Dleasant,
affable gentleman, but is quite
modest when it comes to discussing
the affairs of the conference.
Asked about the proposed plan
of unification this morning, a
question of all-absorbing interest
with Methodists just now, the
bishop had nothing to say.
“I was bom blind andd umb, »»
he said. “I have my eyes
now, bbt I am still dumb. »»
He refrained from discussinl
this question because of the
that he is the presiding officer "if
the conference arid it is a question
that he should not officially com
ment upon, he believes, though he
has his own private convictions,
which he would not make known.
While the bishop refrains from
publicity, he said that the ap
proaching session ot the conference
would be a most important one on
account of the consideration of and the
proposed plan of unification
the election^# delegates to the
general conference which meets
next May.
“You can tel] the people of
Griffin that I am glad cf th^
opportunity to visit your bfautifu'
little city and that I am happ'
to be a guest in this dslightfu
home,” said the bishop most pleas
antly. This is his first visit to
Griffin.

Bishop Darlington stated he had
accepted an invitation extended V”
Captain E. F. Travis to to ad
dress the Griffin Exchange Club
at its regular meeting tomorrow.
«< After this,” said the bishop, U my
time Will be taken up with th

position to deliver any other pub
r ;c addresses." He has, been invited
“3 address the Rotary Club Thurs
day. bat qaid he could not accept
