Next Year in Cordele,
The forty-eighth annual session of
the South Georgia Conference con
vened at the Methodist church in
Dawson at 9 o’'clock Wednesday
morning, Bishop Warren A. Candler
of Atlanta presiding.
The opening song, ‘‘Let Zion's
Watchmen All Awake,”” was sung
with great fervor by the conference
body, after which Bishop Candler of
fered an earnest invocation. The
bishop's introductory address to the
conference was based on the ‘‘Parable
of the Wise and Foolisn Virgins,” and
was greatly enjoyed by the large con
gregation that had assembled for the
opening session.
Secretary Re-elected.
Rev. W. F. Smith of Valdosta, who
has served the conference so effi
ciently as its secretary for a number
of vears, was re-elected with the fol
lowing secretaries: Revs. T. H.
Thomson of Tifton, J. A. Smith of
Macon and L. W. Colson of Quitman.
The report of the board of trustees
of Emory University and of Emory
Coliege was read by Dr. W. C. Lov
ett of Atlanta and was referred to
the following special committee:
Drs. T. D. Ellis, C. R. Jenkins and
Rev. T. D. Stanford and A. I. Bush
and W. G. Solomon. This report very
clearly and carefully defines the rela
tions of Emory University to Emory
College and the relation of both to
the Methodist Episcopal 'Church,
South.
The report of the educational com
mittee appointed at the general con
ference, which convened in Cklahoma
City last May, was read by the secre
tary. Pending the consideration of
this report Bishop Candler, who lis
chancellor of the new Emory Univer
sity, made an address in behalf of
that institution.
Ellis Placed on Board.
When the education board was an
nounced Dr. W. N. Aingworth, of
Mulberry street church, Macon, op
posed the elimination of the name of
Dr. T. D. Ellis and urged that Dr.
Ellis’ name be placed on that board,
since he has been actively and inti
mately identified with Methodist edu
cational work for many years. The
conference supported Dr. Ainsworth
in his contention and the name of Dr.
Ellis was placed on the board.
Dr. Ainsworth was made chairman
of the board of missions.
Dr. T. M. Ivey, editor of the Christ
ian Advocate, the general organ of
the M. E. Church, South, was intro
duced to the conference and spoke
most encouragingly of the outlook of
that organ.
Two Transferred.
Rev. A. W. Quillian, from the
North Georgia Conference, and Rev.
J. C. Sirmans, from the West Texas
Conference, were announced as
transferred to the South Georgia
Conference,
The various boards and committees
had executive sessions Wednesday af
ternoon. Rev. Julius McGath, mis
sionary to the Hebrews, preached to
an appreciative congregation at 3
© clock.
Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock
the Epworth League anniversary was
held, at which Dr. H. M. Dubose of
Atlanta made a masterly address. The
Epworth Leagues of South Georgta
‘have enjoyed a year of unusual pros
‘perity.
Dr. McGath, missionary to the He
brews, reported a good year. He pro
posed a plan to raise $50,000 as a
memorial to his brother, Joseph Mc-
Gath, said fund to be used in his
work for the Hebrews.
Dr. C. R. Jenkins, president of
Wesleyan College, made a spilendid
report to the conference.
Rev. Dr. W. F. McMurray of Lou
isville, Ky., secretary of the general
board, spoke regarding the extension
work of the church.
An Inspiring Feature. |
The most inspiring and delightful
feature of the conference sessions
were the morning lectures by Bishop
Candler. His epigrammatical exposi
tions and elucidations are truly gems
of wit. Speaking of false claims ot‘l
revelations from God Bishop Candler |
declared: “I am dead certain that|
the man who says that the Lord has|
told him what will be the next move‘
after the present war has not had the':
Lord to speak to him at all.” |
Concerning the claims of the liber-|
ality of gamblers the bishop wittily;
declared, “I would rather undertake |
to run a dairy with a pair of steers{
than undertake to run a kingdom of
God depending on the contributions‘
of gamblers or ungodly men.” ‘
Thirteen Young Men Admitted.
A large class of thirteen young
men was admitted on trial into the
traveling connection of the South
Georgia Conference, and will be given
wor_k and a course of study to pursue
during the coming year under the
Supervision of presiding elders. The

Sharp, William L. Huggins and
Frank L. Mingledorf, from the Way
cross district; Columbus A. Morr’'son,
from the Mcßae district.
Dumas Malone was discontinued
from the membership of the confer
ence at his own request.
President Dickey Speaks.
Dr. James E. Dickey, president of
Emory College, addressed the confer
ence body and made a rteport of
the educational work at that college.
Dr. Dickey stated that Emory college
now has an enrollment of 201, and
that the present senior class will be
one of the largest ever graduated
from the institution. Dr. Dickey de
clared the establishing of the new
Methodist university, of which Emo
ry college becomes. the heart, opens
to that college a larger field of ser
vice than ever before enjoyed.

who have been on trial for one year

ident, R. F. Burden; treasurer, C. T,

cial agent, Rev. J. A. Smith; superin
tendent, M. Daugherty, who takes the

the institution faithfully for thirteen
vears, but who retires on account of
failing health.

tered mcre than 2,700 homeless or
phans. At present there are 148 in

the interesting features of the ses
sion.

was superannuated last year, is im
proved in health, and requested that
he be assigned a pastorate for next
vear.
There was a pathetic scene when

four of the most honored and grea:ly
beloved minist>r<, because of their
age and infirnaty, requested that
their names be referred to the com
mittee on conference relations for
superannuation. These brethren were
Rev. H. C. Fentress of Spread, Rev.
J. S. Jordan of Oglethorpe, Rev. G.
W. Thomas of Pearson and Rev. J.
T. Lowe of Surrency.
D. W. N. Ainsworth paid a most
glowing tribute to the lives and la
bors of these brethren, after which a
liberal offering was raised with which
to provide each of these retiring min
’isters a purse as a token of apprecia
‘tion. 3
| $125,000 For Church Enterprises.
. The reports on the several enter
prises of the church were most grati
fying—embracing home missions,
foreign missions, church extension,
American Bible society and confer
erence missions, and the grand total
of over $125,000 was raised by
South Georgia Methodists for those
purposes.
The detailed reports of the districts
were as follows for the foreign mis
sion support: Savannah district,
$4,778; Macon district, $4,624; Co
lumbus district, $1,960; Cordele dis
trict, $1,681; Mcßae district, $l,-
436; Thomasville district, $4,571;
Americus district, $1,952; Waycross
district, $1,582; Valdosta district,
$2,254; Dublin district, $2,873. |
For home missions the districts;
contributed the following amounts:
Savannah district, $2,770; Macon
district, $2,315; Columbus district,!
$2,047; Cordele district, $2,172; Me- |
Rae district $2,889; Thomasville dis
trict, $2,660; Americus district, $2,-l
397; Waycross district, $2,088; Val-}
dosta district $2,660; Dublin district,
$2,873. |
For church extension enterprisesi
the reports of the districts show the
following contributions: Savannah
district, $1,358; Macon district, $l,-
001; Columbus district, $955; Cor
dele district, $755; Americus dis
trict, $905; Thomasville district, $l,-
310; Valdosta district, $1,140; Way
cross district, $681; Mcßae distriet,
$497; Dublin district, §709.
For the support of the American
Bible Society, which is a distinctive
missionary work, the districts of the
entire conference contributed the
sum total of $l,OOO.
A most splendid feature of the mis
sionary activity of South Georgia
Methodists is that of the women’s
missionary societies. The women of
this section of the state have made
contributions to missions this year
that totals only $ll4 less than the
total sum contributed by the remain
der of the church membership.
Miss Mary Culler White, a special
missionary sent by this conference to
the China mission, was present at
the anniversary and made an addre:s
recarding the outlook for missions i
the Orient. Miss White stated that
during the past four years in China
in her immediate work the mission
churches had doubled in four phases
of the work—that of the number of
members, the attendance upon Sun
day schools, the attendance at mis
sion schools and that of collections.
oOld Fashioned Love Feast.
Meetings were held in all of the
churches of the city Sunday, vis
iting ministers being invited to
' preach in the pulpits.
' The center of interest, however,
was at the Methodist church, where
the meetings began at 9 o'clock with
‘an old fashioned love feast conducted
by Dr. J. B. McGehee of Buena Vista,
one of the oldest and most beloved
‘men of the entire Georgia Method
ism. At 11 o’clock Bishop Candler
preached a sermon and then ordain
ed a large class of young men who
had been elected to deacons’ orders.
At 3 o’clock a memorial service was
held in honor of the preachers who
had died during the past twelve
‘months. At the night meeting Dr.
'W. N. Ainsworth delivered a strong
and eloquent sermon. The class
elected to elders’ orders was ordain
ed at the close of the night meeting.
At the love feast a session of spir
itual refreshing was enjoyed by those
present. Bread and water were
taken in token of brotherly love and
testimonies of Christian experience
were given by men and women.
Bishop Candler’s sermon was the
featare of the day. An immense au
dience gathered to hear him, and the\
common expression of all was that
the sermon was a masterpiece, and‘
greatly strengthened all in faith. The
bishop’s theme was upon that rock!
the cl?)n'ch should be founded. 'l‘he;
sermon was strictly orthodox, the;
bishop urging all to adhere to Jesus
Christ and Him only, declaring that |
every other teaching was heresy andl
would end in defeat, but that the
church of Christ would endure for
ever and ever. |

Debate Temperance Report.
A spirited debate occurred in the
adoption of the temperance report.
Drs. A. M. Williams and W. N. Ains
worth bitterly fought the paragraphs
of the report that endorsed the polit-f
ical activities of the Woman’s Christ
ian Temperance Union. They de
clared the tendencies of the union
appeared to be drifting towards wo
man’s suffrage, which they opposed
with all their heart and mind. The
report as finally adopted endorsed
the Woman's Temperance Union only
so far as they engaged in temperance
work.
A resolution was adopted assessing
the conference two cents per member
for the support of the American Bi
ble Society.
Report on Orphans’ Home.
Rev. J. A. Smith, superintendent
of the South Georgia orphans’ home,
located at Macon, made report of the
vear's work at that institution. Mr.
Smith reported that 167 children are
now in the home, and that the home
is in splendid condition. During the
history of the home of 42 years he
reported that 2,732 children had
passed through the home and that,
so far as could be learned, only seven
boys “had ever been convicted of any
crime, and only five girls had gone
wrong.
Rev. J. M. Bass, conference evan
gelist, reported that during the year
he had conducted twelve meetings,
preached 595 sermons, and had re
ceived into the church 648 persons.
By vote of the conference a mes
sage of greetings was sent to Rev. W.
J. Callahan, missionary to Japan,
who is now confined by sickness at
a Battle Creek sanitarium.
“Five Cents For Silence,” 1
Bishop Candler was vexed in spirit
because the brethren would not keep
quiet while he talked. After appeal
ing to them a time or so for quiet
ness he finally proposed: “Breth
‘ren, if you will stop talking for a few
minutes I will give you five cents;
‘and if that is not enough 1 will add a
copper to it.” The brethren kept
quiet afterwards.
.~ Bishop Candler called the question,
?“Are all the preachers blameless in
' their life and character?” and their
| names were called one by one. ‘“Noth
ing against him,” was declared of
| each man as his name was called and
| he made his report.
l The appointments were then read
and the conference adjourned.
FRANK ISSUES ANOTHER STATE
MENT AND REVIEWS CASE,
Declares He Was Prosecuted Wrong
fully and Grotesquely. Vigorous
ly Denounces Jim Conley.
ATLANTA.—L. M. Frank, under
sentence of death for the murder here
in April, 1913, of Mary Phagan, to
day gave out a statement to the pub
lic declaring his innocence of the
crime and reviewing the <circum
stances surrounding his trial and the
legal steps taken to obtain for him
a rehearing or the setting aside of
the verdict. Frank’s statement was
issued from his cell in the Fulton
county jail, where he has been con
fined since his arrest several days
following the discovery of Mary Pha
gan's body in the basement of the
pencil factory of which Frank was
superintendent.
Never Reviewed,
He declared he has been ‘‘prose
cuted wrongfully and grotesquely for
a crime of which I have no knowl
edge,”’ and mentioned that in all the
steps taken for a new trial the ques
tion of his guilt or innocence has nev
er been reviewed by the higher
courts, but only the legality of the
proceedings have been considered.
The statement relates briefly the
action of Frank on the day the mur
der was committed and the prisoner
then turns to a vigorous denunciation
of James Conley, a negro, who was
employed as a sweeper at the pencil
factory, and who was the prosecu
tion’s principal witness. Conley i 3
now serving a year's prison sentence
upon conviction last February as an
accessory after the fact to the Pha
gan girl’s murder. §
“It was not shown,” the statement
declares, “that Jim Conley, who had
a long police court record, had neith
er the motive to conceive the crime
nor the opportunity to commit it.
Before,you can take this negro’s word
he must show that he himself is in
nocent.”
Frank closes his statement with
reiteration of his declarations of his
own innocence and with further
charges against the veracity of Con
ley.
DEATH OF MRS, H. A, CRITENDEN
Well-Known Shellman Woman Passes
to Her Reward.
The death of Mrs. H. A. Critten
den, who had relatives in Dawson,
was learned with regret by many
here. The following account of her
passing is from the Shellman Sun:
“After suffering for a long time
Mrs. Mollie Crittenden, wife of Capt.
H. A. Crittenden, was relieved by
death Tuesday morning at 2 o’clock.
She had been a resident of Randolph
county practically all of her life and
had a wide circle of friends whose
hearts go out to the bereaved ones in
their sorrow.
“Her maiden name was Cobb. On
June Ist, 1880, she became the wife
of Capt. H. A. Crittenden, and had
been his companion for more than 34
years. These thirty-odd years had
|been spent in ‘Shellman, where she
was known and loved by all. It was
she who welcomed the new comers to
Shellman, and as long as‘she was
able she made it a point to visit her
new neighbors and make them feel
that it was good to be a citizen of
Shellman, and in that way as well as
’many others she drew them mnear
to her.
~ “She had no children of her own,
‘but she had been a mother to those
in the home over which she assumed
the title of mother 34 years ago. ;
“Some time ago she discussed mat-i
ters with her pastor as to the ar
rangements for her funeral, and her
wishes were carried out accordingly.
The funeral service was simple, being
conducted at the home of her daugh-|
ter, Mrs. W. R. Terry, at 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning by Rev. R. E.
Bailey. Songs suggested by the-de
ceased were sung by a quartette. |
“The burial at Rehobeth cemetery
immediately followed the service at
the home.”
PUT IT IN HER STOCKING. i
And Forgot All About It, But the
Clerk Found It.
A salesman in an Atlanta shoe
store is not worrying about wherel
his Christmas money is coming from.
Several days ago he sold a lady a
pair of shoes. Next day she returned
them, ¢laiming they were too tight.
She got her money back and an-l
nounced she was leaving the city. |
When the salesman tried to put the
shoes back in stock he discovered
a silk stocking crumpled up in the
toes of one of them. He was about
to throw the hosiery in the fire when
he discovered something else. It was
a roll of currency, seventy do]lars.!
That was several days ago, and he|
has not yet had a complaint from the
customer, whose name he did notl
Jearn.
HALF MILLION DECREASE. 1
e e 1
October Business of Central of Geor-}
gia Suffers Badly. |
Because of the war and the busi
ness depression incident to it a de
crease of $558,288.13 in operating
revenues of the Central of Georgia
railway is shown in a report just
made public.
The road has been alive to the sit
unation, however, and decreased the
operating expenses for the same pe
riod by $224,940.10.
The war is wholly responsible for
the condition, it is pointed out. This
is a fair indication of how it is has
‘affected railroads in Georgia.
' When Atlanta men get tc be 90
vears of age they select their wives
by mail. Too old to see and too deaf
to hear, so it’s probably just as well
one way as another.
