A aAnnewhat complicated case In

appears in the leading role, was hearl
In Ordinary Wiley's court yesterday.

J1m Butler, hob of Henry Butler, and
step-son of Mattie Butler, opposes the
nin/Mcnltlon of Mattie ns the legal cus
todian of his futher'a estate, worth
$1,000, and ekes a number of roieons
why, In his opinion, tho application
should bo set aside.

SECOND DAY OF
THE CONFERENCE
Dr. Warren A. Candler of Emory Col
lego Preached a Powerful
Sermon Yesterday.
REPORTS FROM THE CHARGES
Highly Encouraging and Show A
Steady Growth Among the Metho
dist* of tb* District — Or,
Monlt f * Sermon.
It was a day of great Interest with
the Methodists of the North Georgia
conference, in session In the Cant Mar
eon church, yesterday
The following new delegates reported
for representation in the conference;
it. C. Jones of fiandersvllle, Jones
Cook of Bullards, K. V. Hardeman of
Danville, L.' Skeltoe of Griswold.
L The entire morning sesidon wUs taken
up from the time It convened
o’clock um41 11, the hour for religious
eervlce, with the hearing of reports
from all the charges In the district,
The reports were almost unexecptlon-
ally everything that could be Wished
They were indicative of the marvellous
growth of 'th? church -everywhere in
the district and of the untold strength
and Increasing power of the Metho
dists. There was geneml satisfaction
at 'the work of all the pastors and they
are to be commended (for the able ful
fillment of their mission in every in
stance.
At 11 o’clock Dr. Warren A. Candler,
president of Dmory Collage, Oxford,
iiie.iciud. It a.!.; lut tjcm.T.illy known
that tne distinguished divine woulU
fill the pulpit, for It was not known
among tne preachers thcouselves until
too late tine nlgat before to announce
u Hum the puiplt. Else a very much
larger congregation would have been
in attendance upon tho morning ses
sion tin an greeted Jbtaiory’s able presi
dent and the Methodist’s giant
preaoher. •
As it was, the nehvs had been spread
to same extent before the hour for
preaching, and a large number of peo
ple from over the river who wen* 'for
tunate enough to be among those who
were apprised of Dr. Candler’s engage
ment were to be seen among the fairly
good congregation.
Those who neard the sermon * pro
nounced 1l u masterly literary ’effort
and an eloquent oxposltlon ol tho
Methodist doctrine as It proceeUs from
John Wesley, the fountain head..Tho
subject of hia discourse might toe prop
erly represented as follows: "Deadness
to the world requisite -for admission
Into 'tho kingdom of God.” Tne lead
ing idea in the icsson appeared to be
the giving up of all otner kingdoms
for tne kingdom of God, and on the
line of. strict doctrine the preacher
spoke for an hour and fifteen an 1 antes,
though so spellbound was tne congre
gation by his surpassing eloquence
that it scorned not more than the
usual length of church services.
Dr. Candler left the city early In the
afternoon, else an effort would Wave
been made to secure ids mapuocrlpt.
The business session of tho con
ference, which convened at 3 oVlock
in the afternoon, was not characterized
toy anything of public Interest, and at
4 o'clock it adjourned to tocur a ser
mon toy Rev. J. E. Wray at tho Vlne-
vlllc church at 4:30.
Mr. YNTay spoke with ohat same
earnestness and eloquent appeal Which
has marked him as one of tho Ji/blest
young ministers that tho north Macon
conference has ever had. He was Ids-
tenevl to attentively by a good con
gregation und made a deep and last
ing impression upon his brethren.
DR. MONK ON MISSIONS.
Dr. Alonzo Monk of Mulberry Street
chuwn preached the missionary ser
mon before the conference last night,
and pcrhui* the largest congregation
that has ever gathered In Mr- Wes
ton's church - was present. This distln-
gUkOied preacher and Methodist wrnr-
horae lltera.ly' shelled the woods for
tho great cause of the mission field,
and calling a spade a spade WtUKOTtr
R btCLume convenient and expressive
of what he wished to say, ho stirred
lh« north Macon conference from cen
ter to circumference and achieved •&
matfttTOcvm victory for tho church.
No congregation In Georgia has, per
haps. ever fallen more completely un
der cne ape&ker’a influence thUn crowd
ed mao* of anxious hearers who sat,
atood and peeped In at the doors and
wind nvs to OatDh a wonl from the
ell very bps of the orator.
The singing woo ouch as is given
up to toe found in an East ftlacon com
grog.itlon. Those old songs,
mel-dy and soul-aUlrlng *?weet
win live on, though now old, as long
a* time endure*, wero n*hearsod
the hundreds of thro As as on the
c iston of an old-;tm> oapap meeting,
and meanwhile tears could b* seen fur
rowing the checks of the good pcopl<
In the assembly.
It was a glorious meeting—-a MVi
gracefully brought to a cloan by
a sure-enough Methodist hand-shaking,
which served to put a fitting climax
upon the grand reunion of Gods peo
ple, for sucl

AS A RESULT
OF THE STRIKE
All Kinds of Salt and Fresh Meats
Have Taken a Rise in
1 1
Price.
LIKEWISE FLOUR AND GRAIN
While Western Beef Cannot Be find
at Any Price—The Outlook Con
tinue* to Grow More Serious
ns Each Day Passe*.
At last the big Western strike Is being
felt In Macon and unless the strike Is
ended within, the next few days it i«
highly probable that here may be some
actual suffering. '
It Is Imnoselble to get a ringle car
load of either fresh or salt meat from
the West and grain is also not to be
had. This state of affaire is alarming
when it Is considered that every other
oily is in a similar predicament and
ea'A one Is dependent on the local stock
on hand to supply the consumers until
the railroads are again opened for
trade.
Yesterday the price of all salt meats
went up 1 cent per pound and the pros
pect is that it will go higher as the
supply grows leas. Fredh Western
meals are no longer to toe had find con
sumers must depend on the native cat
tle for beef after the supply now In
oold storage In the city is exhausted.
It Is understood that Macon provision
dealcre have a good supply. of provis
ions on hand, and as the urnount con
sumed will necessarily *be less with
higher prices, there is no danger of im
mediate suffering.
The farmers, especially those in mid
dle Georgia, are In better condition to
stand such a state of affairs than the
people In the oii*es, as most of them
have well filled smbke houses and corn
cribs. There are a number o>f them,
however. In various sections of the
state, who have devoted most of their
time to raising cotton and neglected
their meat und corn. These will suffer
mtore than any ocher elans, as they
have their stock ns well as theix fami
lies ami laborers to feed. How thjy
will do It Should the strike be prolong
ed. it is hard to tell, as not a car of
grain can be had from-the West and
there ore few farmers who not know
ing how long the strike will last will
care to seal their. 00m to their neigh
bors at the risk of depriving them
selves.
Flour, lard and similar necessities are
on the upward tendency and it Is also
impossible to get them here as long ns
the strike lasts.
Macon Is better off than most cities,
but If the strike continues much longer
It will work many hardships on her cit
izens.
HOWS THIS ?
If you want your store represented
among the Illustrations In tho Tele

They cost you nothing, and are the

you may have the “cut." Nothing

WANTED A CERTIFICATE,
So 'Hint IBs Wife Would Know He
Hud Been On the Jury.
One of the Jurons who has been serv
ing on the superior court Jury for the
past week astonished Judge Griggs
yesterday by asking him tor a certltl-
eale, to be countersigned by tho sollc-
Itor-geneml and clerk, certifying that
he had served on the jury for the
week, and had also served two full
nights in the jury room.
Before granting the extraordinary
request Judge Griggs nsk^l the Juror
why he wanted the certificate.
“The facts Is, Judge," ho said, "whon
-I went home the other day after re
maining out on a case nil night my
wHfe took me to task and, despite my
most earnest asfxrtlonK, 1 never did
fully convince her that I bad served
on the jury all night, and I only satis
fied her by jn\>mfsing to get a certifi
cate signed by you, the clerk and s<>-
Ucttor certifying to whoit I had said.
After being out hist wight I don’t dare
go home witHi-ouj it, as I know tbore
will he the dtelcicxbLtO'pay.'*
Judge Griggs readily granted tho re
quest, and the Juror went home with
a* triumphant smile.
