" there Is nothing so sweet to the wound ed spirit -» the sympathy and affection of kindred and friends. • I have been undergoing a sad experience for some days, and weeks, and I know how gracious and cheering have been mes sages and letters that have been coming ( to me In large number since Dr. Felton •> death was announced to the public. They are consoling and gratifying to me. They help me to turn awaj6 from my own loss to think of the appreciation that is be stowed on the departed. For 56 years we had journeyed along together.and he knew of these kind friends in life and I believe It would be pelasing to him to know and remember r.ow if such a privilege is his. and why should it not be his privilege? He enjoyed The Semi-Weekly Journal, and it has been my custom to draw near his arm chair when the paper came from " the office and read aloud to him what I had written for you dear readers. He enjoyed these articles very greatly, and he enjoyed the private letters you wrote to me about them, and I feel glad we were all so well acquainted with each other. Now. I desire especially to return my thanks In this way to every one who sent me a message or wrote me a line in • sympathy. It helped me. cheered me. made the world brighter and the going away of my life’s partner less grievous I thank yon with ail my heart. Dear Mrs. Felton: Every day since the tidings of your loss reached me I've had you in my mind and on my heart: but there's never been a moment I could take for the letter that I wanteo to send you. We both know that sorrow is not for those gone, but our own lonely hearts, and as the years pass I realise mire and more that the three score years of faithful service, such as your d“a _ hus band gave the world for his Master's sake makes “going home'' an event for con gratulation instead of mourning. After the constant loving aare you have given him. I realise how empty your hands seem, but I am sure that it won't be long before there will be plenty of work presenting itself to you. I hope that yuc may nrd it conven ient to take dinner with me the next time you are In the city. I'd be so glad to have you and Mrs. Mary E. Bryan and Mrs. William King meet up there some day. Both of the two mentioned come in quite frequently. I hope to have my mother a month this fall, she usually comes in July and spends three months, but month by month some thing has kept her. so I must be thank ful for one. Living In Florida she feels the cold and flees before it—l nope that • you noticed the letter in the last “Semi ’ headed "Thanks to Mrs. Felton." The seed you sowed years ago will continue through the ages to keep the women. B Pardon thia long letter. I know you y “ kre getting a great many, but I coull not feel rignt until i uad put into words my sympathy for you tn this hour of your loss. If. at any time, I can be of any service to you please remember that it will be a pleasure to me. > Sincerely yours. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 2. 1909. The Election of Southern Bishops When the genersl conference of the Methodist church. south, meets in Asheville, N. C-. next May, tn quadrennial session, the principal interest of the meet ing will center around the election of new bishops, where the deceased bishops left it. when they passed into the Great Be yond. As chief survivors, these new selections should be carefully protected from even rumors or suspicion of seeking the places now to be filled, but we see it author itatively stated that Bishop Seth Ward's death had scarcely been announced from Tokyo. Japan, where he died, before log rolling tactics begun and the friends of aspirants proceeded to publish their names in the newspapers of the country to get in on the “ground floor" to help along the ambitious ones—some six or seten months before the conference as sembles In Asheville. N. C. The Wesleyan Christian Advocate, pub lished in Atlanta. Is justly indignant at the unseemly haste of these untimely publications. The editor says: “It is unseemly and cruel, degrades good men. in the eyes of good people and dishonors the church. “If reporters must have such matter for their papers, do. in tue name of de cency. let the bodies of dead officeholders in the church get cold before the church is presented as having men tn it seeking XVoWAuoX sistaacecjlWctteVnAy beMsic\a\ VucAive* rane&ySyrop XabAsiaAvssAW ossislaivuto nature wa, be dispensed w’dh. uKn.no lancer neukd.as the UsX cj raiedus axe k assist P •oXure.Qi^net k snpptaid Vta xwftwd JuntUoxis .wKidtmusl depend \dtx wAdy upon proper ruAinshmenV proper ejcrts.and ngttlwwg fcouaWy. 1b $d the CALIFORNIA Fic Syrup Co.

This is good advice, but will it work any change tn the methods to be pursued? I fear not. I'll give the reason why. From now on. until May 1, 1910, when the conference will begin its sessions, there will be strenuous methods used which might give tips to political ring-masters in the political government of the people I of these United States in every presiden tial campaign. < When the general conference meets we shall doubtless see assembled as we have seen in the past, a great lot of preachers, delegates who were elected as delegates tn the interest of one man or set of men. who are candidates for the highest posi tions In the M. E. church, south. It Is the same thing in the northern church, and I m ght add.truthfully.both have been imitating in some degree the action of Catholic cardinals when they meet to elect a pope, after that office is become vacant at the Vatican in old Rome. When electors must be chosen in either church or state to choose ambitious men In religious or civic organisations there will be more or less of log-rolling and wire-pulling, of vote swapping and com binations to elect some and defeat others, but I agree with Editor Lovett, of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, that the total disregard of decency In the ad vertisement of men who will be candi dates before the Asheville general con ference Is "unseemly and cruel.” Bishop Seth Ward well became the of fice of bishop in the southern church. He was a dignified and consecrated Christian minister before he was elected bishop I four years ago. His death was peculiarly sad. in that he passed away In far off Japan, while his grief-stricken wife and daughter were at their home in America and could not see or soothe him in his dying moments. When these sorrowing ones now read of the beginning of the scramble for Bishop Ward's shoes, before* his remains are put !on shipboard to be brought to Houston, j Tex., it must make chills of contempt pass over them, even while the fires of 1 indignation possess them, because of such prnhallowed ambitions and disregard of their grief-stricken household The Wesleyan editor rebukes the secu -1 lar reporters for writing up such reports and making such premature nominations for the high office of bishop, but the edi tor must not forget that the elections which took place at the last general con ference were in the south, because these elections centered largely about the an tagonisms and combinations of that ter rible publishing house claim, that was pushed through the national congress by deception and lobby money and was con doned and accepted by a majority vote in the conference. This hullaballoo about electlhg new hlshops at Asheville is the natural out come that strange condition of affairs, as were exposed, deplored and deprecated I four years ago by a deeply grieved mem bership. but which were overridden and trodden down by ambitious and self-seek ' fng men who were clutching and holding fast to pelf and power, growing out of i the methods used and money obtained to get that publishing house claim through the national congress. But for a very strong combination of ' tricky men who organized and entrenched tn connectional offices the Southern Meth odist church would have relieved itself of the odium, that deed which will now forever attach itself to the reputation of the religious organization which accepted and retained that claim money, a deed that had been stamped by the infamy of Staplman's large lobby fee, and was ( disgraced and branded by a denial made by certain men who put old Ananias and Sapphlra to the blush! Thjs advertisement of coming bishops is only another leaf on the same subject, I another chapter in the same book, anoth er plot of the same dark color, and an other scheme for the aggrandizement of self-seeking, ambitious men. All the same, it is unseemly, indecent and disgusting. It is a forerunner of what will get there. It is a signal overhead to show what will happen. And it is fast weakening the hold that genuine Methodism once held ' on southern Methodists. I BOY WAS MURDERED; HURLED INTO RIVER ATHENS. Ga.. Oct. 4.-Weighted down I with a 50-pound rock, the body of Von -5 derau Kennon, a well-known young man. ■ who disappeared from home on September I 25. was found in the Oconee river, half mile below Cemetery bridge today. It is ! supposed tha* young Kennon was murder ! ed and his body thrown into the river. Kennon left his home on September 25 ' on his way to Atlanta to undergo treat ment by an eye specialist of that city. He was last seen in Athens near the de pot of the Central of Georgia railway. His father learned that his son had nev er reached Atlanta and Immediately be gan search. The river was dragged today and the body found a few hours later. ATHENS. Ga.. Oct. s.—Every clue that has been traced by officials of Clarke county as well as the local police since the disco very of Vonderau Kennon’s body in the Oconee river yesterday points to one of the most brutal murders ever re corded in this section, although there is no information that would lead to his as sailants. The body, weighted down by the heavy stone, the half dozen blows that had crushed in the skull, and the disappear ance of $65. all seem to corroborate the theory of robbery and murder advanced '. by the officers. Not satisfied with the evidence secured ' yesterday, the coroner’s jury resumed to . day and sensational developments are ex i pected. The father and five brothers of the dead man arrived In Athens today and are as sisting the police in ferreting out every clue. Kennon was buried yesterday in the family burial ground. * From the evidence secured by the coro ne s jury at today's session, it appears that the assailants of Kennon were ne groes. The jury, which is still In session, believe sit will be able to bring the guil ty parties to justice. •flow is it your rabbits are so fond of you. Edwin?"

Ga., Oct. 6.—When Judge Frank Park convened Dougherty county superior court yesterday and gave bis charge to the grand jury, he gave vigorous attention to blind tigers and gambling, urging the grand jury to leave no rtone unturned in its efforts to locate xuu bring to justice certain alleged violations ot these state laws in Albany. Tile court will dispose of civil cases this week and take up the criminal docket next Monday mornlug. SAVANNAH- Ga., Oct. s.—lt is possible tue Savannah cotton mill may have to close In a short time fdr want of raw material. It is reported there that there is no money in buying cotton et 13 cents a pound and over and selling yirn at 19 cents, which is the market price. It Is thought the spinners will get together after a while and put up the price of cotton yarn. This will hardly be done, however, until all the mills with large stocks on hard reduce their surplus of rotton which was bought at low prices. The situation Is said to be verv serious in this mill and In many others ttirougti out the south. SAVANNAH. Ga.. Oct. 5.—J. A. Price, a young man employed by the Seaboard Air Line railway, is thought to be dying nt the Park View sanitarium from tetanus or lockjaw. Price was employed running the machinery that sup plied the current for private electric light plant of the Seaboard on Hurehinsou's island, opposite the city. He mashed his thumb very badly several days ago. He had it treated, but the injured member continued to pain him a great deal. Finally lockjaw set In and bls condition at this time is most critical. Every modern remedy tor tetanus has been tried, hut has proven of uo avail In stopping the inroads of the disease. ALBANY. Ga., Oct. s.—That the wave of prosperity is sweeping over southwest Georgia is strikingly evidenced by an increase of 40 per cent in the freight burlness of Albany for the month of September as compared with September of last year. This Inceras'- Is shown in business belonging strictly to Albany and does not Include th* largely increased volume of freight which is tranrferred here or handled through the Albany freig.it yards. 1 It is safe to say that business generally Is 40 per cent better throughout southwest Georgia i this year than last .year. I ALBANY, Ga.. Oct s.—November 16 has been set as the date for the Com Carnival when the ) prizes in the Albany Herald’s Corn Growing contest will be awarded. The day will be made a memorable one in Albany. Farmers througnout this section of the state have raised corn to enter this contest for the SSOO in prizes which have been offered. It is expected thnt the prize yield from a sin pie acre will exceed 100 bushels. The contest 1 has been a great stimulus to diversified agricul i ture in southwest Georgia. ROME. Ga. Oct. s.—Charged with larceny. Will Robinson, a negro Is In jail here in default of a S3OO bond. Sunday night he broke Into the ■ yard office of the Central of Georgia rall i way and stole the car seals belonging to the ; road. His confession Implicates others, whom ' he said had planned to secure the seals, pillage I freight ears, and then seal up their doors again, i Had the seals not been recovered from the negro's possession, a loss of thousands of dol- I lars to the road would doubtless bare resulted.

A. Middlebrooks, of 84 West Harris street, is one of the very few con valescents of the dreaded disease pella gra. For nine weeks she was thought to be at death's door and during this time five physicians have diagnosed her case pellagra and pronounced it hopeless. Pellagra was an unheara of disease in America until a short while ago and has been considered incurable. The recovery of Mrs. Middlebrooks is considered re markable from the fact that it is mainly due to a simple tonic and the attention given- the case by a prominent young physician in the city, who, in order to make a thorough study of the disease, gave up his entire practice during the summer. For three years Mrs. Middlebrooks has suffered from this disease but not until the past few weeks has she had any re lief whatever, and the fact that she is now rapidly recovering means that pella gra will no longer be considered neces sarily fatal.
