WILL BUILD A NEW CHURCH The Methodists of Vineville Determine Upon a Building More Adequate to Their Continual Growth. ' Will COST FIFTEEN THOUSAND KIs Thousand of Ihe Amount Already la Hand, nnd Plum flow Iteliig Con sidered for Raising the Ollier—Iter. J, IS. Wray. The Methodists of Vineville are to have a .new church. This has been under consideration for some time, but the calculations of the members only assumed definite chape night before last, when the board of stewards of the church met ut the home <yf Judge Ward to consult together. It is proposed to erect a 315,000 brick building on 'the same site where the present modem structure now stands. The church •will, tn point of comfort end modern conveniences, bo equal to almost any church In the city. The meeting of tho stewards was only to dctermlno upon how soon the work shall be started and (o consldeir tlio raising’ of funds. The stewards are all tn acoard with .one another tn the movimmet and wilt pull together In the effort ito give their people a more adequate house of worship, tv shins -wMch has been demanded for some dime by the gradual growth of the congregation. It was reported nt this meeting of the stewards that the Church already thus in the neighborhood of 16,000 In hand. It will fberclGro take only 39,000 morn ta have tho building an as»ur*l thing. As to how this remaining sum could be raised many plana were of fered and suggestions made. There ecoms to be uome doubt In the mlndjs of some of tho members as to the abil ity of the congregation to ralse.lt with out appealing to ou'tBldc assistance. On -the other hand, there are those who -aro equally confident that they will be able Oo get the 39,000 from among themsClvea. ■By whatever plan, the members all My that the entire earn must tie prom ised by subscription by December 13, when tho South Georgia conference moots In Wsycrowi. They desire that their pastor, Hev. J. E. Wray, may bo able to present the Vineville Metho dist church, a ndw building and yet without Incumbrance. "Vos, and we want to keep Brother AVray with us for another year at least," a member of the Church said yesterday. "We want him to preach In our new church one year, anyhow, and wo sincerely hope that the con ference will send him back to us." '.Mr. Wray hoe, Indeed, made a splendid pastor and the residents of Vineville have never had n tmn nmong them more universally beloved by all the people of the village. WIREGIIA6S EXPOSITION.

The old organisation died of chronic ennui yesterday afternoon *t 4:30 o'clock. Appropriate exercises ■were held in celebration of Its demise. No tears were shed—no regrets ex- preated—R Just fell dead—you know the rest. Immediately after the demise of the Board of Trade the Macon Chamber of Commerce was ,org:iuilxed and offi cers elected. The very .maimer tn Which the Ma con Chamber of Commerce was or ganised -roe Inspiring and convincing that Its members mean business. It will be an organisation similar In pur pose and intent as the old Board of Trade, but will be active In looking out for Macon's business interest and ev erything pertaining ito tho welfare of the city. The old Board of Trade Isas never carried out the purposes for which It was organized as 'fully as the interests of Macon donra-nded. This was mainly duo to the fact that R was an utter Impossibility to get the members to attend the meetings or to Hake any Interest whatever tn such milters as Should be considered by the board. Of course, this does not npiSly to all mem bers, as a few of them, and a very few. Too, were always ready and will ing to do what they could, but when 11 vast majority of the leading busi ness men Showed no Interest In the meeting of the board, or matters of importance 'than were brought to Its attention, tho few who were Interested could do nothing. Some of the most influential and aottve business men In the city 'have been officers of the board, ibut all of .their efforts have been to no avail owing to the Indif ference of the majority. The last pres ident of the board, Oapt. R. E. Park, i» not only one of the city's most ac tive and prominent business men, but one of the -most popular, and yet throughout his two years' presidency of the board he has been hand'lcalpped by Just such conditions as spoken of olbove. The 'Macon Chamber of Commerce starts out with the determination to Interest every business man In the city In the Clumber nnd to do everything posstble for the welfare of Macon. To Show to the commercial world than Mucon 1s a progressive, enterprising alty, offering hiducomenurofor tho in vestment of oapttnl nnd possessing every natural advantage an Investor or home-seeker could desire. With this object in view officers and directors wore elected who will infuse new life, not atone Into the Chamber of Com merce, but Into evary branch of com merce and business. ■ . The meeting of the old Board of Trade was held yesterday afternoon at i:S9 o'clock, pursuant to a resolution held on Wednesdiy. Vice -President Bdgtr S. Wilson called the mecthig to order, President Park belnig absent on acoourft of sick- n The flrst business before the meeting was the hearing of the report of the oommitteo appointed at the meeting held on Wednesday ito nominate a president nnd two vice presidents. This committee reported the names of MVirrt* Happ, for president-. R. M Rogers, flrst vice president, and R J. Taylor, second vice president. A motion was made, to suspend the rules and aullhorlzc tho secretary to cast the ballot of the board, and on the motion being unanimously carried, the secretory cast the. votes, after which 'the following board of directors was ejected In the saime manner: it. K. PaTk, 1. B. English. H. D. Adams. S. R. Jaques. Frank l>. Mallary and W. G. Solomon. A motion was then made to change the nsrtve of the board to the Macon Chamber of Commerce, anil It was utlirtlnfously carried. The chairman of-the committee on tna-nsponratlon read a letter he had pre pared to be forwarded to Mr. J. M. Culp, traffic manager of the Southern Railway Company. In regard to rite*, and on 'the letter meeting the approval the board tho secretary was Instructed to forward same. The meeting then adjourned.
