Americus people who attend the ecumenical connci’ of the Methodist church in Washington next October will see come of the antiquitlee of Methodiem. A department of the council will be devoted to these relics, one of which will bo a little piece of wood from the Betbesda orphanage. It is nothing more than a splinter, bnt it ie connected with the name of George Whitfield—a name that standB unsurpassed in the annals of pulpit eloquence. Bishop Asbury's old tea canister will have a prominent place. The canister le a simple, old-fashioned concern, and would not attract much respectful at tention at a camp meeting now-a-days Yet this old canister was the traveling companion of ono of the purest and best men of Methodiem. What a tale that old piece of tin could tell, were it an animate thing! It could tell how many miles it had traveled with the bishop. It could tell how many cups of tea the old clergyman used to drink at a meal; it could tell, too, perhaps, of the wonder ful self-denial of the venerable man, as amid peril and deprivation he went about laying the foundations of a great religious denomination; it could tell, too, no doubt, how the good bishop' would re- buke sin and sinners without fear and trembling; it could tell in a few short words, many of the noble things in the bishop's life that only a traveling com panion can know. Though old, still the tea canister is well preserved, and would still do on a pinch for a bishop’s travel- ing companion now. The canister bears the following inscription: “Asbury’s tea canister—the traveling tea canistcrof Bishop Asbury." Bishop Asbury’s pouch is a relic of in terest. It is a simple piece of muslin canvas tied up with an ordinary cotton string. It is a forcible reminder of the bishop’s simplicity. And then tho bishop’s spectacles; they lie in the glass case side against the pouch. They are tho old timo "specks.” Their frames look as solid as the prow of a steamer. There is no delicate workmanship to be soon, but simply a plain idea of strength can bo gathered from them. When Bishop Asbury died the spectacles passed into the possession of Bishop Me- Kendree. Itov. Dr. G. C. M. Roberts’ razor case is an old-timer. It is about the size of a small valise, and looks as though It would hold half a dozen razors. The case, though antiquated in looks and a little out of style, has a vigorous appear ance, and could, no doubt, bo used by somo successor of Dr. Roberts. Tho old razor case of tho Rev. Jacob Gruber is in a fair state of preservation, It is a curious looking concern, and lacks the modern ideas in stylo. Bishop McKendreo’s clothes brush is an oddity. It looks more like a paint brush than anything else. It is made of the ordinary straw, but tho top part of it Is wrappod heavily with cord. There is an interesting group of canes in the antique cailectlon, among which arc somo which vividly recalled the men of tho times of long ago. Some of tho canes are curiosities in shapo and design and many of them are but the silont wit nesses to the simplicity of the Motho- dlst preachers. Among them aro tho following: Tho Sunday cano of Rev. Ilcnry Smith. It was made from timber of tho First Methodist church among the Indians at Sandusky. A cano Horn tho timber of Strawbridgo church at I’ipe creek, one cut from Mount Lebanon by a party of llaltimorcans, among whom was Mr. William Cortland; anotliorfrom tho rigging loft in Now York city, In which the Methodists first worship ed heforo the building of Wesley chapel in John street; a cano f-oin Mount Olive, once used by Bishop Bov- crly Waugh, and one which was carried for sixteen years by Bishop Waugh, and which was cut by Rev. Dr. John P. Dur bin, and presented to tho bishop. It later camo into tho possession of Itov. Thom is Myer and by him was presented to tho Maryland Historical Society. One made from wood of tho Eutaw strcc- Methodist Episcopal churcli orig inal pulpit, and carried by Dr. G. C. M. Roberts; ono that was once used by Rev. Paul Hitt, another that was used by Bishop Francis Burns of Africa; ono cut from a cherry treo under which Straw- bridge preached, and ono from Wes ley Grove, City Road Chapel, London, England, and another from the birth place of Rev. Dr. G. C. M. Roberts. Perhaps the most touching and ten der memento of tho past is a littlo paper box that contains locks of hair of Bishop Ashbury, of the mother of Bishop ASbury, Bishop Empry, Bishop McKondroe and Father Smith. Over four score years have come and gone since Asbury was ordained a bichop, and now locks of the hair from the head* of these great men are treasures, indeed, and will doubtless attract a great deal of attention at theccumcncial council. - ■ Who Got Tho Prizes » There seems to be some misunder standing about who got the prises at the colored firemen's tournament in Augus ts. Here is what the Haoon Telegraph said about It and following is given ver- batum the telegram received by Tna Times-Recobdeb. Gaze on this and thou on that: Augusts., July 22.—Macon bore off the honors In the reel contest, winning the first prize in 22| seconds, Bieden- berg Hose Company of Augusta won the the second in 26] seconds, and won the first in the “shoo fly" race in 10] seconds. Augusta, Ga., 22.—To The Times- Recobdeb: Vigilance first test bust first money second test D. A. Dudley No. 3, second money iu second test D. A. Dudley. When the Americus companies get borne they may be able to explain the difference in the telegrams.

When The Times-Recobdeb announc ed last Sunday a week ago the changes that were to be made on the Central and its divisions there were those who said it was “round house" talk, while others boldly cried “fake." Those very changes are officially an nounced in the following circular: Oftice or Geneuai, Superinten dent, Savannah, Ga., July 20, 1891.- Reorganization of the transportation de partment, as below mentioned will taktf effect on August 1,1801, The offices of superintendent of trans portation and superintendent of term!' nals will be abolished. The main item division will consist of the lines from Savannah to Tyboe, Sa vannah to Atlanta (including Savannah Terminals), Griffin to Chattanooga, Barnesville to Thomaston, Gordon to Eatonton and Meldrim to Lyons, with Mr. W. W. Starr as superintendent, office at Savannah, Ga. The Southwestern division will com eistof the following lines: Maeon to Columbus, Columbus to Montgomery, Fort Valley to Union Springe, Smlth- villo to Columbia, Columbus to Troy, Troy Extension, Columbus to Greenville, Columbus to Americus, Cuthbert to Fort Gaines, Eufaula to Ozark, and Fort Valley to Perry, with Mr. D. D. Curran as superintendent, office at Macon, Ga. Tho South Carolina division will con sist of linns In present organization, with Mr. B. C. Epperson as superinten dent, offico at Augusta, Ga. The superintendents will have charge of all the real estate and personal prop erty of tills company, Including shops, depots and other buildings, and the mo tive power and rolling stock of their re spective divisions, and will be held re sponsible for the maintenance of the roadway, proper discipline of omployos, and the advancement of the service gen erally to a thorough standard of efficien cy, reporting direct to tho general su perintendent. The shops at Savannah will bo under the control of the superintendent of thq main stem division; shops at Macon (in cluding the agency and yard), and Co lumbus shops, under the superintendent of the Southwestern division; and shops at Augusta under the superintendent of the South Carolina division. V. E. McBee, < Approved; General Superintendent. W. H. Green, General Manager. SnpL W. W. Starr, who succeeds H. R. Dill as superintendent of the main stem, and T. S. Molee aa superintendent of the Savannah A Atlantic division will also have charge of tho Savannah term! ils. Mr. Starr was superintendentof trans portation under General Manager Gab- bett's administration, and prior to that was superintendent of the Port Royal and Western Carolina, and afterward of the Southwestern division, having been promoted Lom master of train service under SupL Rogers. His long expert' ence and thorough acquaintance with the Central railroad, with which he has been connected in various capacities from that of messenger boy up to super intendent, hteknowledgeof the termi nals and his recognized ability fit him for the office to which ho lias been ap pointed. Supt Dill, it is understood will re main in Macon with the North Macon Land Company, and SupL Moiso will re turn to Columbus. SupL J. D. Wil liamson, of the Chattanooga division, is also rolieved by tho consolidation of the division with the main stem, which now oxtends from Tyboo to Chattanooga. Superintendent McKenzie of the Southwestern also goes out and tho of fices of that division will bo movod from Smithvillo to Macon. What is now known as tlio Savannah A Western division will likely bo given, in an official circular to follow in a day or two, to tlio Richmond A Danvillu men in Birmingham. It is thought that the chango in the Southwestern’s affairs will result in a decided change in the force of agents and other employees. Tho lightning will ho striking the boys all around the first thing anybody knows. The news hero given is affirmed by this special from Columbus: Columbus, July 23.—[Special.]—Offi cial circulars wero received here this morning announcing that Superintend ent D. D. Curran would be transferred to Macon, which will be the headquar ters of tho Southwestern division of tho Central in the future. DOLLARS AND SENSE!
