High Island. ,,

a sample of what may . be looked for

possible to penetrate it within the next

By Ibt Methodists Last Night For Their Now
House ol Worship.
From Tuesday’s Dally Herald.
At a meeting of the members of the
Albany Methodist congregation at the
church last night, plans for the new
$10,000 edifice whioh it is proposed to
ereot were seleoted.
The meeting was a representative one,
and lasted nntil quite a late honr. Many
plans which had been offered bjf archi
tects from varions sections of the coun
try were considered, and the merits of
eaoh discussed. It was finally agreed,
almost nnanimonsly, that the plan sub
mitted by Messrs. Hayden, Wheeler Sc
Sohwend, of Charlotte, N. O., more
nearly approached the ideas of the con
gregation than any of the others, and it
was, accordingly, seleoted.
The plan is a very attractive one, and
if carried out will give the Methodists
one of the handsomest and most sub
stantial houses of worship In this seo-
tton of Georgia. Work will be oom-
menced at as early - a date as possible,
and will be pushed to early completion.

Senatorial Convention.
In the consolidated primary held this
year, no speoiGo provision was made
for a convention to nominate the sena
tor in this, the Tenth senatorial distriot.
Under the rotation system it was Worth
county’s time to name the nominee, and,
aeqnlesoing in this, Dougherty and Lee
took no action, or rather did not yote
for senator, leaving the choice of the
nominee to Worth. As is generally
known, Hon. G. G. Ford was duly nom
inated by the democrats of Worth in the
primary, and he was duly de
clared by the exeontive commit
tees of Worth and Dougherty
to be the nominee. In Lee, however,
delegates were elected or appointed to a
senatorial convention, and now it has
been agreed by the Democratic execu
tive committees of the three counties
to hold a convention and go through
the formality of making a nomina
tion. The convention is entirely un
necessary, but it will be held merely for
the sake of preserving party regularity.
The convention will meet at the Her
ald office at 11 o'clock on Saturday
next, Sept 22.

to carry Ohio, or any amount to prevent
the humiliation of William McKinley
in his own state. Heretofore money
has not b^eu coming easy from the re
publicans nor for tbs democrats.
The republicans may procure more
now, however, by sounding a note of
alarm to the varions trust interests.
Pekin, Sept. 20 —The Dowager Emp'
