In the wiregrass part of the state there
a section commencing with Twiggs
county, and running northeast and south*
west 180 miles, east and west 107 miles,
northwest, and southeast 145 miles, with a
population of 170,202, with an average
population to the county of 0,552, in which
there is $108.75 worth of Bibles in the fivo
auxiliaries now in existence to supply the
destitute in this section.
Clearly all is not being done by the
people that ought to be done to help the
American Bible Society, which for seventy
years has been seeking to carry the word
' life to all the people. It is some credit
the South Georgia Methodists that their
contributions to this purpose are in excess

The Atternnon Session.
Eastman, Deo. 15.—[Special.]—The
conference met this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The report from the board of education
was read by special order at 3:30 o’clock.
Judge Giles of Perry, offered to amend
the report by inserting a resolution asking
our representatives inconercss to favor the
Blair bill. The amendment, produced
quite a lively discussion for a little while,
Judge Giles favoring and Dr. J. W.
Hinton opposing the resolution. Finally
Judge Gues was allowed to withdraw the
resolution.
The remainder of the afternoon soasion
was occupied in hearing the statistical re
ports from the pastors.
MISSIONARY EXERCISES.
Tonight at 7 p. m. the church was
crowded until standing room was desirable
to witness the anniversary exercises cf the
board of missionaries. Dr. W. P. Harrison
delivered the address and charmed and
thrilled the audience. The conference has
raised this year the following amounts:
For foreign missions $9,700.06; for do
mestic missions $5,000; for Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society $4,442.53.
The impression now' is that the confer
ence will adjourn probably by noon of
Monday, certainly not lata* than Monday
night.
DISASTROUS Flit MAT DAWSON.
The Lowry Warehouse Homed With 100
Hales of Cotton*
Dawson, Dec. 16. —[Special.]— The
Lowry cotton warehouse and the brick
store adjacent, occupied by W. F. Talbot,
were burned this morning about 4:15
o’clock. It was evidently the work of an
incendiary. Almost in a moment from the
beginning the entire place was a solid
flame, and but for the energetic eflorts of
the fire department the flames would have
destroyed the eastern side of the town.
The engine ccrtainlvdid fine work and the
company deserves the praise of the people.
The losses are as follows:
A. J. Carver lost heavily ^covered by in
surance.
L. A. Lowry lost $800; no insurance.
Lowry and Orr lost $260; no insurance.
1L Rogers’s loss is heavy; insurance not
known.
W. F. Talbot’s loss is covered by insur
ance.
The James cstato lost two rooms; insur
ance not known.
About one hundred and fifty bales of
cotton were in the fire. Seventy of these
belonged to buyers and were insured. The
others were owned by farmers and the
losses were from one hale to seven, with no
insurance. .
New York, Dec. 15.—Hubbard, Price
Co., in their cotton circular today,
say: An easier tone has characterized to
day’s operations in cotton, and there has
been some good buying noticeable at a de-
oline. It has been mainly so, ft is assumed,
to cover shorts. Receipts are on a some
what more liberal scale and, though this
was expected in view of the existing deficien
cy the disposition is to await developments
and Bee how much greater is to be the in
crease, which is to be established after Jan

today was extremely dull, with little feature
of any kind and unimportant fluctuation*
There was, however, a firm tone at the

Beemed to be some support in grangers,
coalers and trunk lines, and traders
showed no inclination to make new ventures
on either side of accounL
Advances at the opening extended to
% per cent, in Reading and New Elglnmb
and further games of from X to X per cent,
were established in early trading, with St
Paul most prominent in the rise, and the
market then became intensely dull and
prices ssgg»<l off slowly, with no marked
movement outside of Richmond and West
Point, which declined X per cent., on
proposed action in the South Carolina legis
latnre, antagonistic to railroads in that
region. East Tennessee second preferred,
however, was exceptionally strong,
moved up over a point. Fluctuations were
confinsi! in ins narrowest limits, nr.d al
though there was a slight reaction, after the
issue of the bank statement the market
closed very dull and about steady, at in
significant changes for the day. Final
changes are for slight fractions only, ex
