“Second, that the property of the
Diocese of Georgia, viz., the widows
and orphans’ fund, the permanent fund
for the support of the Episcopacy, thb
infirm and disablod clergy fund, and
,the Weston bequest for the education
of girls in the diocese of Georgia, be
equally divided botwoen the two dio
ceses, and upon* the organization of
the new diocese, that this division be
carried out by the pro sent Bishop and
the board of officers of the Diocese of
Georgia, the same to be submitted to
and confirmed- by a proper court, of
equity in this state under direction of
the Chancellor of the Diocose. But
inasmuch as the Georgia Mission Fund
Known as the Dodge Fund must go to
the southeastern diocese upon division,
in order that this project of division be
successfully carried out, that ; the
Clinch and Walburg funds for missions
bp assigned to the northwestern dio
cese. Provided, that the- division of
the diocese is conditional upon the
legal division of the funds of the dio
cese, as provided herein.” N
The following diocesan officers were
elected this afternoon:
Chancellor—Frank H. Miller, of Au
gusta.
Rogistrar-
lanta.
Treasurer-
Augusta.
The Bishop appointed the following
arch-deacons.:,, .<*
Albany—Von.. G. Sherwood Whitney.
Athens—Ven. Troy Beatty.
Macon—Ven. William Bobler Walker.
Savannah—Ven. Harry Cassil.
It was voted to hold the last conven
tion of the present diocese in Christ’s
Church, Savannah, on the third Wed
nesday in next May.
Columbus, Ga., May 17.—Division of
the Diocese of Georgia will be made,
and the southeastern division, the sec
tion in which Savannah is located, re
tains the title, “The Diocose of Geor
gia.” The Episcopal convention so de
cided today after a; discussion lasting
for hours, in which representatives of
both sections of the state explained
their views at. length. The convention
was. unanimously in favor of division.
The territorial division as suggested by
the committee met with approval. The
proposed division of the diocesan
funds was declared to be fair and prop
er, and tho only serious division of
opinion was on the question of name.
It was largely Atlanta vs. Savannah
in the debate this morning, the Sa
vannah delegates claiming that the
poutheastern division, being the oldest
portion of the dioCese and furnishing
most of the diocesan funds, should re
tain the title, “Diocese s of Georgia,”
while the Atlanta delegates contended
that It would be unfair to designate
either division of the diocese by the
rather misleading name of “Diocese of
Georgia.
The report of tho committee was
adopted unanimously, and the diocesan
division becomes an accomplished fact
when the formality of ratification by
the general convention next year has
'been gone through with. The report
follows:
MResolved, first, that the present dio
cese of Georgia be divided into separ
ate dioceses, as follows: By a line be
ginning at the state line at Columbia
county and ruuning north and' west
from said junction of the state line of
Columbia county and continue north
