This day's work will end the South
Georgia conference, Appointments will
be made today,
Those who could get into Mulberry
street Methodist church yesterday for
the . morning and afternocn sermons
heard what most of them term the best
preaching they ever heard.
In the morning Bishop c. B. Gallo
way preached on the wisdom of Solo
mon; the gifts that God gave him and
the uses he made of them.
The sermon In the afternoon was
preached by -Bishop Warren A. Can
dler, on the lesion taught by the res
urrection.
Both of these were strictly Biblical,
but they shed upon the word of God
some new lights and portrayed beau
ties that the average man never sees.
Every seat In the house was Ailed at
each service. The aisle* were tilled with
chain* nnd these were all occupied. Be-
aldeg this eight hundred people in va
rious parts of the city listened through
telephone connection with the big meg
aphone that has been kept In front of
the minister."!’ stand In the church pul
pit since the conference opend.
Bishop Galloway dwelt upon and de
veloped the Idea that through wisdom
all power comes, nnd that Solomon
chose the greatest of oil gifts when he
asked for knowledge. This brought him
wealth, fnme and everything else that
he could have desired. He showed the
necessity for seeking wisdom through
teh spirit, and keeping the heart and
inind pure.
Bishop Candler discussed therenurroc-
tlonof Jesus Christ as a lesson for
guidance In this world. He demonstrat
ed that through It mankind Is taught
that this life Is nothing unless It be
as a preparation for the glory that is
to come.
A close of elders and deacons was or
dained ns follows:
Eiders—I^onard A. Hill, Wm. W.
Beals. Tho*. B. Stanford, Robt. F. Fain,

Memorial Service.
The memorial services held nt the
church Inst night were largely attend
ed. Two important members of the con
ference had died during the year, nnd
the conference paid high tribute to
them.
Rev. Peter Simmons Twltty, who was
born In Meriwether county In 1812, was
highly praised for hla noble deeds In
life. It was shown that hi# father died
when, the youth was only ten years old,
but tat in spite of the lack of aid he
made a man of himself.
Mrs. Julia Howard McGregor, wife
of Rev. W. D. McGregor, was also eu
logized und memorialized, it having
been decided at the preceding confer
ence that ministers* wives should be
remembered In the memorial service*
at future conference*. She died In Shell
man. . , ,
The following paper warn then read
nnd discussed, the subject, knop-n ns
Uncle Thomas, being one of the most
remarkable In the history of l^uth
Georgia:

Twltty, Mrs. Julia Howard McGregor
nnd Rev. W. II. Thomas were adopted.

NEGRO CALLED

A TEXAS WONDER
ssle Adum, a negro man, who re-
3 Jn Tybee, was shot through the
right lung yesterday morning about 2
o'clock by Will Henderson, another ne
gro. Adum, It is thought, will live.
Henderson has escaped. It seems that
Henderson and Adum had had some
trouble previous to the shooting. The
story told to the police Is that yester
day morning Henderson went to the
house of Adum, rapped on his door, and
when Adum opened It, Henderson shot
him. When the first shot was fired
Adum slammed his door, and Hender
son shot several more bullets into the
house, it is alleged, and left.
Adum Is employed in an oil mill and
is said to be a peaceful negro.
The shooting occurred outside of the

YESTERDAY’S WEATHER.
Arc Drawing Hundred* of People to
Texan.
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Dec. 8.-The
movement of both immigrants and em
{grants it at its fioodtide and the rail
roads are handling almost a car a day
Into the South and out of It. The oil
finds and the prosperity which followed
them are attracting many people to
Texas. The Louisville and Nashville Is
reported to be handling large numbers
through LoulsvlHe with Texas as theU
destination. Last night the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis moved thir
ty-three emigrants from Hobbs Island,
Ala., to Memphis, and from th*»re the
settlers will move on to Texas. This
morning thirty more from all parts of
Georgia, with Atlanta as the central
point, were handled over the same-
route, bound for point In the Lone Star
state.
While the outward travel is very
heavy, the Immigration is fully equal
to It. Twenty-five men are at White
Bluff today, and will continue to move
In this direction. Nine of them from
Polo and Sterling, Ill., will purchase
1,000 acres of land on the Paducah and
Memphis division of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis; four will
settle at Summlttvllle, Coffee county;
6cven at Tullahoma; one at Steven
son, Ala., nnd the others at White Bluff
and Tennessee City. Twenty-five more
are waiting at Rockford. HI., until their
leader recovers. In addition probably
ten have come by the Louisville and
Nashville to Tullahoma and various
parts of Coffee county.

His life wa* a very eventful one. Its

Brother Thomas’was never called upon

fruitage that God loves be»t—bringing

William Thoma*. the father, was a

from Georgia to Kentucky In 1811, the
son being then about' a year and a half

trict for four year*. But wlregraps dis
trict# in those days could neither estab
lish a preacher's fame nor make his for
tune.
Brother Thomas’ first term, of one
year, upon the Charlton work, wan dur
ing the war. His total collections that
year were J1.65. He had fallen among
the people who thought that he could
better afford to preneh for them for
nothing nnd board himself, than they
could afford to pay him. Some of these
people *eem to have moved from Charl
ton county, nnd scattered their descen-
denta pretty will all over our territory.
But Brother Thomas wa# not to be
daunted. Beside* a robuet constitution
nnd an Inexhaustible stock of energy,
he possessed a good trade—that of
blacksmith and wheelwright. About hla
first work on taking charge of a cir
cuit wa* to build and open a.workshop
nnd Invite patronage In hi* particular
line. He built outright, so hi# son tells
u», all hi* own buggies nnd did such
work as the public needed. During the
war ho made shoes out of home tanned
leather: also hat#, out of pine straw
and palmetto. He made himself useful
to the women by changing their “hand
shuttle" to “fly shuttle" loom?. While
a widower, he cut and made all his own
clothes. In short, he <*oul4 turn his
hand to any useful occupation, as ne
cessity nroac.
Six year# after his first wife died,
ho married agnln. The Indy was Miss
Laura M. Baker of CenlrevIUe, Charl
ton county. Of this mnrrlage one child
wa# born. Col. C. C. Thomas of Way-
cross. Wife and child survive.
About thl« time Brother Thomas was
superannuated and built him a home
in what was afterwards named Way-
cros*. When he settled there It was
known as the “Junction.” “Blackshoar
and Junction" wa# the charge In which
It was included. From that time on
’Uncle Thomas,” as he began to be
called, was a part of Waycrcas and
Waycross Was a part of him. To the dav
of his death, the whole world revolved
about Waycross. If all the rest of his
life should be blotted out, the work he
did for the church and for the Master
ns " the father of NYfcycroil" would
make his reward greater than that of
the most of us who survive hlm.^Blcs*-

He was a charter member—one of

the writer in the school house In Old
Waycross In 1873. There are now two
flourishing churches there, one in the
old town and one in the new. with a
combined membership of 1.060. When
the city of Waycross had reached
population of 3,600, he had .as he told
his son, offered prayer In every house
In the town—without a tingle exemption,
While on the Waresboro circuit he took
the census of Ware county for the gov

home he visited. Surely ho obeyed the
apostolic Injunction. "Be instant In
