The contractors erecting the building at the light plant want permission to use part of the street and sidewalk for the placing of material and building operations.

Alderman Hopkins 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.

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. BROOKS COUNTY MAN CONVICTED OF MURDER 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.

The formation of the Arizona An nuel Conference was ordered. Dr. J, E.

If created, will embrace all the state of Arizona and {territory and will he equal to the I states of Maryland, Vlrgina, West Vir ginia and Tennessee.
