IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE
WORK BEFORE MEETING
METHODIST CONFERENCE
THE OLD KENTUCKY HOME
The picture last night was the
best of any of the several heretofore
taken in Thomasville.
The heroine, who so wonderfully
played the part of a Kentucky belle,
was, as many will remember, a
Swedish girl who, when introduced
at the local theater, when the picture
was being made, with the other
performers, said, “I cannot tell how
glad I am because I do not enough
English speak."
We are not sure that any of the
performers were Southerners ex*
cept little Teddie.Little and Mildred
Purser, of Thomasville, and Con
stable John Chapman, of Boston.
John reminded us of an old saying of
Josh Billings: “A baby Is a little
thing but a constable was once
baby."
The hero’s home was Susina, the
Mason place in the Duncanville dis
trict, built eighty years ago by Mr.
James Blackshear. The heroine’s
home was Winstead, the place of Mr.
Coburn Haskell.
The railroad between Boston and
Thomasville, the A. C. L. station In
both places, the Pastime Stables and
race track, and other local points of
interest appeared is the picture.
It was splendid without consider
ing the local color.
That part of the picture showing
the ocean and the big City was not
[taken in thomasville.
brief statement by
Dr. J. E. Harrison, of Arizona, who
spoke in behalf of the change.
memorial asking that the Ken
tucky territory now in the Memphis
conference, be transferred to the
Louisville conference, was not approv
ed.
The committee on itinerancy report
ed on the memorial dealing with the
right or unordained pastors to admin
ister the sacrament which was before
the conference for the first time Sat
urday. No definite action was taken.
Committee on Revivals
The first discussion concerning leg
islation was on the report of the mem
bership in a quarterly conference. The
memorial came from the east Okla
homa conference and asked that ull
members of the local church, eighteen
years of age, and over, be made eligi
ble for membership.
The majority report recommended
non-concurrence.
Rev. W. M. Scott, of the north Ala
bama conference, attacked the meas
ure and was followed by Dr. W. A.
Cooper ,of the Florida conference, and
Dr. Bascom Anthony, of the south
Georgia Conference, who also opposed
the memorial. The proposed change
was defeated by a large majority.
A report recommending a joint pro
gram of religious education by the sev-
eral boards dealing with the matter,
was adopted.
The report of the war council rec
ommended that the general conference
petition Congress for such legislation
as will give chaplains of the army
higher rating as commissioned offi
cers; also that there be no reduction
in the present number of chaplains.

that be had been recognized by the
chair, Blabop E. I). Mouxon, met at the
speaker's stand, and a voice called
The Gold Duet Twins, and there was. a
loud round of applause.
Dr. Ba«com Anthony, ot Savannah,
chairman of the committee of revivals,
delivered a forcible speech against the
measure, which was voted down in
overwhelming defeat. It is becoming
more and more apparent that the
"Conservatives" are in the decided ma
jority in the body.
Dr. A. J. Lamar, of Nashville, who
is the general conference treasurer,
atSted that the session of 1902 cost
$20,000, and that the present session
will aggregate a delegate expense ac
count of approximately $70,000, and
the question of payment of principal
and alternate delegate expenses was
referred to the committee of rules for
instruction. After a meeting ot the
rules committee, the chairman, Hon.
John M. Holder, of Atlanta, instructed
the treasurer to pay only one delegate
traveling expense account; and in case
of the necessity for the alternate dele
gate that the allowed traveling ex
pense account be shared equally be
tween the principal and alternate de-
egate.
Thursday evening was set as the
time to hear the greetings from the
fraternal messengers.

ed at yesterday’s session, some of
