Lives of Preachers and Presiding Eld ers Have Been Blameless—Dr. A. M. Williams Again Placed on 8u- peranuary Relation—Some Excel lent R9portt. The following report gives the moat important happenings in the South Georg.a conference yesterday after the examination of presiding elders anu preachers, in which their lives were pronounced blameless. In the Thomaaville district, Rev •JIcL F. Cook's report so impressed jji© bishop that he remarked: “That report is remarkable/’ One thousand additions to the church; five mission aries are supported by the district; collections all in full and on an as sessment of $1,C5U for foreign inls-j slonn, $4,374 was paid. For the Valdosta district, Rev. H, M. Morrison, presiding elder, report ed a decided Improvement. There were 1,549 additions to the church throughout the district during the year. Seven new churches were built; $3,662 was paid on foreign mis aions. Rov. K. Rled, presiding elder of the Waycross district, stated that there had been a most gratifying in crease along all lines in his district. Mission collections were paid in full and some in excess. Brunswick has recently commenced the erection of a new church. Rev. J. H. McGehee, D. D., presld ing elder of the McRae district, In making his report, said: "Bishop, am now closing the 53rd year of my ministerial life. We have had a good year. This has l>oen the very best year of my life. There has bedn bo- tween 700 and 800 accessions to the church. Finances In excess of last year. We aro growing In grace and Rev. Geo. W. Mathews, presiding aider of the Dublin district, reported progreas; nearly 600 additions to the drarota. Every charge in the district but tpo has paid everything In full. Six Charges this year have paid as much aa 14 charges last year. Near ly $4,000 Was raised for foreign mis sions. One circuit Is supporting a missionary In the foreign Held. Wonderful Growth of Methodism. This completed tne call of the pre siding elders. Nevor In the history of tno conference has it listened to such lino reports. Tho growth this year huH been almost phenomenal. in an address by Dr. Whlsner, sec retary of tho Board of Church Exten sion. Immediately after the reading of the presiding elders' reports, he stat ed that he did not believe such re ports could be duplicated in the Southern Methodist church. Coming from this source, the fact that Dr. Whlsner travels throughout the South era Methodist field, his stntoment was appreciated. The names of tne superanunted ministers were callod. their charac* tors passed and they were referred to the committee on conference rela tions for this same relation. The Supernumerary Ministers. Under the call, “Who are on the supernumerary list?" Rev. T. Us. Rev. J. T. Mims and others were granted this relation. In this rein Uon the minister is supposed not to be able to do constant work, and is placed where he is not obliged to do tho work of an effective minister. Coder this call the case of Rev. A. M. Williams provoked quite a discus sion from the fact that Dr. Williams threw his case entirely on the wish of tho conference. After some dis cussion the bishop asked him what his wish In the case was. He replied "1 desire the conference to assume this responsibility.** "Well, what do you want the con ference to do?" asked the bishop. "1 want," said Dr. Williams, “God and my brethren to decide this ques tion. and I take the wish of my breth ren to be the voice of God in the case." Dr. Williams was again given a su pernumerary relation. Heavy Trade in Groceries.

ON THE RURAL ROUTE8. 1 The Times wishes to call the atten tion of its subscribers on all of the rural routes to the fact that they can get tlie pally Times carrying the as sociated press dispatches, the latest market reports as well as ail of the local news for Just a little more than a postal card would cost per day. Every farmer who can get his mail daily should get a daily paper and the daily paper that prints the largest volume of news in the rewest words is the one that will suit him best. In a paper of that sort you get the cream at the first sip. You get all you want almost at a gr&nce because the news of the world is sent out to you just as it happens, In clear, con cise form, without any of the slusn or embellishments that are added to fill space. The Dally Times hag already made Itself a fixture among the people of the city and there are scores of peo ple on the rural routes who have had their names added to our lists. The idea of rural free delivery was to put the people in the rural communities In touch with the outside world every day so that they can keep posted on markets and other things that affect them, it was in response to a de mand for a better service throughout the rural districts as well as in the city, that the Dally Tlmfis was estab lished. The merchants and business men have come to recognize tho Dally Times as a fixture and its columns are increasing daily in advertise ments. In a very short while hope to change its form to an eight page paper and make other improve ments In it. In the meantime, we have every assurance that the Dally Times Is making a hit with the peo ple. They like Its style, its make-up and the news service, and they are convinced that It is going to prove to be a worthy representative of the business life and thrift of the com munity. The merchants who are advertising in the Dally Times are getting good returns. The paper is not so large that It is not read—In fact every thing in it Is read every day. LIBERTY MILL8 SPECIAL.

THE HARLEY VOTING CONTE8T. “THE TYPICAL SOUTHERNER.’ Governor Davis, of Arkansas refus ed to dine with President Roosevelt because General Powell Clayton was at the table. Mr. Davis said, by the way of explanation, that at one time when Gen. Clayton was In control of the state, the latter had murdered the formers aunt Gen;, Clayton has since stated the only faundwffi the accusatio^flprfXisPidtffcStTthe days of the KiNffx-Klan he had tak en the state militia through a stretch of country and incidentally passed the house where Mr. Davis’ aunt lay very 111 and that she possibly died fright because of the noise made by the tread of the marching troops. The Charleston News and Courier has grown very weary of Governor Davis and his talk. It cites the fact that he Is a candidate for tHe. United States senate, but does not believe he is strong enough to be elected, exclaims: l he time has gone by, forever, It Is hoped, when men of the Davis sort to ho sent to Washington os rep resentatives of tho people of any of the southern states. We have suffer ed too much already from such 'rep resentation* and the self-respecting people of the south ought to make their protests so clear and strong upon this point that none of the Ar kansas Pavia type of men will ever stand successfully # or public offleo again in the south.” There Id no more roik-rlbbed dis tinctively southern papr/.ln the south thnn tho News and Courier, and there fore, its denunciation of the "Davis type has a peculiar force and signifi cance.—Macon Telegraph.
