The recurrence of the annual ses- Ision at the South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I South is a matter of close and direct concern to tens of thousands of per sons, In all parts of the state. So great are the interests of the Metho | dist church in Georgia that, for the ; better handling of the church business, it has been deemed advisable to divide the state into two conferences; yet the division is geographical only, and for the expediting of the work. In senti ment and high purpose, the church throughout the state is one, and the membership in each section follows with pride and pleasure the story of the growth and widening influence of the organization in other sections. The excellent system which the Meth odists have of supplying the pulpits of their churches tends to highten the in terest with which the proceedings of each conference is regarded. “Who will toe our minister next year?” is a question that every Methodist church member desires to have answered at the earliest possible moment, hence the conference proceedings are followed closely day after day until the an nouncements are finally made public, for a possible inkling of who the new pastor will be, as well as to ascer tain if the retiring pastor, usually well grounded in the affections of his peo ple, said or did anything during the meeting that attracted especial atten tion to himself or his charge. The Methodist system of rotation in pul pits is essentially democratic and therefore wise. Under it the congre gation doesn't have to retain for an indefinite period a pastor with whom it is not pleased, nor does a disap pointed pastor have to await a call from another charge before he can lay down a pastorate that is disagree able to him. The Methodist system saves many a heart-ache, in addition to which it distributes both the talents of its preachers and the desirable pas torates among its congregations in a manner remarkable for its equity. Methodism, originating with the Wesleys and founded by them in Geor gia, has ever been close to the hearts of the Georgia people. That it is an attractive and satisfying theology is evidenced by the great and powerful church organization that it has (buiit up. And the church was probably never in a better, more promising con dition, than that in which it finds it self at the opening of the current an nual conference. Its growth since the conference of a year ago has been healthful and vigorous, and its work ers are filled with enthusiasm. SOLID PBWSU ASIA. Immediately after the presidential election the Philadelphia Ledger had a good deal to say about the "solid South” and the “aloofness of the South.” It was not at all pleased with the fact that Mr. Roosevelt got no electoral votes In the cotton states. It assumed that the entire vote of. the South was cast for the Democratic ticket—that there was no division of sentiment. On Sunday, the consolidated vote of Pennsylvania having been made pub lic, the Ledger printed an editorial commending the Republicans of that state for the large majority which they gave Mr. Roosevelt. The title of the article was "Solid Pennsylvania.” But why didn’t the Ledger speak of the aloofness of Pennsylvania? If it is a good thing for Pennsylvania to be solid politically Why isn’t It a good thing for Georgia or Virginia or any other Southern state to be solid politically? Why does the Ledger think It a good thing for Pennsylvania to be solid politically and a bad thing for Georgia to be solid? But, as a matter of fact, was there not a greater division of sentiment in either Georgia or Virginia in the re cent election than there was In Penn sylvania? The total vote cast In the latter state was 1,236,73*, of which the Republican ticket received about two thirds. Here tn Georgia the total vote was about 131,000, of which the Democratic ticket received 83,000, not quite two thirds. In Virginia the Democratic ticket didn’t receive two-thirds of the votes cast. The vote of Georgia and Virginia is taken to make a comparison with the vote of Pennsylvania because we have seen no statement of the total vote of any other Southern state. Judging from this comparison there was a greater division of sentiment in the foregoing Southern states than there was In Pennsylvania. What reason, therefore, has the Philadelphia Ledger for criticising the South for being solid or for her aloofness? And, after all, the result of the election was a solid North against a solid South. In one respect the North is far ahead of the South, namely. In her Socialistic vote. In Pennsylvania there were cast for Debs, the Socialistic can didate for President, 21,683 votes. For the same candidate there were cast in Georgia 197 and In Virginia 66 votes. Socialism is making rapid headway In the North, but It hasn’t got a foothold In the South, and it is doubtful If it ever will. The time may not be fat in the future when the North will de pend upon the South to save the coun try from the Socialistic forces that are organising there now. The South is the American and conservative section of the country, and as such will be called upon eventually to conduct the republic along the lines marked out by Its founders.

SAVA WAIT MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1904. ANOTHER HIMBURT AFFAIR! Is there another Humbert affair con j cealed in the suit which Herbert D. • Newton of Brookline. Mass., has brought against Mrs. Cassie Chadwick J of Cleveland. 0.. for $1*0.800? The suit has some mysterious features. And it seems it is not the only suit of the kind which has been brought against the woman. There are others, making the total amount for which she is being sued $267,800. Mrs. Chadwick is the wife of Dr. Chadwick, a well known physician of Cleveland. She is about fifty years of age, there being but little difference between her age and that of her hus band. Mr. Newton, the chief plain tiff, is represented as being a clear beaded business man. The wonder is, therefore, how he was induced to lend the woman such a large amount of money without security. Besides, she seems to have been a stranger to him when she first applied to him for a loan. She represented that she had a pro missory note for $500,000, and securi ties to the amount of $5,000,000 on de posit with a Cleveland trust company, and she showed a certificate from one of the officers of the company to that effect, though the certificate was not signed by the officer in his official ca pacity. Her excuse for not using her stocks and bonds as security for money she wanted, was that they were tem porarily tied up in litigation. It seems remarkable that a business man should have accepted an excuse of that kind without thorough inves tigation. Mr. Newton did inquire as to whether the signature of the official of the trust company was genuine and discovered it was. He seemed to have no hesitation then in letting the wom an have what money she wanted. After awhile he tried to get his money and found he couldn’t. The note* the woman gave couldn't be sold, because nobody wanted them under the cir cumstances and the checks her hus band gave were turned down by the bank on which they were drawn. Na turally about that time Mr. Newton became very much alarmed at the prospect of losing his money. He had several conferences with Mrs. Chad wick and she assured him that he would get his money in good time— that she intended to pay him. But she didn’t pay, and so he sought to find out what the value of the securities deposited with the trust company was, but Mrs. Chadwick wouldn’t let him see them. Then came the dreadful suspicion that the securities had no value, If, In fact, there were any securities. It was on this state of facts that he began his suit, and now everybody that knows of the case is wondering if the wom an really has $5,000,000 worth of se curities, or if she has any securities whatever. It wouldn’t be surprising if it should turn out that the alleged securities haven’t quite the value Mrs. Chad wick placed upon them. Should that be the case there would be a sensa tion almost as great as that which Madame Humbert created by getting about $10,000,000 from London and Paris bankers on certain alleged securities, which she said she had locked in a safe, and which a notary certified she had. An effort is being made to identify Mrs. Chadwick as a woman who, some years ago, was noted for her hypnotic powers, and who had quite a career in,the courts in the Middle West. Her case is beginning to attract wide at tention. SEW PHASE OF TIIK SMOOT CASE. There is going to be a good deal of talk about the political power of the Mormon Church in the newspapers this winter. The hearings in the Smoot case will he resumed as soon as Congress assembles, and it is the un derstanding that particular attention will be given to the efforts the Mor mon Church is making to get political power. _ ' During the recess of Congress those who are back of the effort to keep Mr. Smoot out of the Senate have been gathering testimony as to the purposes of the Mormon Church in this direc tion, and it is said that there will be revelations made that will be start ling. The Mormons claim that they are not Inimical In any manner to the in stitutions of the country, but It Is evi dent that there is a great deal of doubt of their sincerity In this respect. The Mormon Church Is a great power in politics in Utah. Idaho and one or two other of the Far Western states. That the Mormon leaders are striving to Increase the political influence of their church there isn’t any doubt. Having this idea firmly fixed in their minds the men and women who are the prosecutors in the Smoot case will strive to bring matters before the in vestigating committee that will set the whole country talking about the Mor mons and the menace they are to the institutions of this country. The Philadelphia Press says that the army-navy football game, played In that city on Thanksgiving Day, brought to the trades people and hotel keepers a neat little extra income amounting to not less than $201,000. This is exclusive of railroad fares, and gate receipts at the game, both of which amounted to round sums. The Press figures it this way; Meals, sllO,- 000; incidentals (another way of say ing "drinks”), $40,000; lodgings. $36.- 000; flags and ribbons (in which prob ably may be counted a few more drinks, like ice cream soda), $5,000; theaters. $4,500; cabs, $4,000; trolley fares. $2,000. There is no Intellectual entertainment that can be Imagined that would have brought so much ex tra money into any city. For years the woman suffrage ad vocates have been assuring us that the granting of full polltioal privileges to women would elevate party politics and tend to purify the ballot. Rut has that sort of thing happened In Colorado, where women are vested with the elective franchise? Our dis patches of yesterday contained ac counts of women arrested in Denver and of ruses to he made against them for corruption and bribery in connec tion with the recent election An incident illustrating the peculiar ethics of the gambling fraternity was the shooting and killing in New York the other day of a gambler of the name of Roche. Another gambler of the name of Felton is suspected of the crime. On his dying bed Roche re fused to aid the law in avenging him. “If I die," he said, “it will be all right; if I live I will settle the matter my self.” At another time he declared, “Yes, Frank shot me, but he was jus tified. for if he hadn't killed me I would have killed him.” Such are the amenities of homicide among gamblers. The gambler, living perpetually in fear of the law. doesn't like to have the law Interfere in his quarrels and fights. Living by his wits, he pre fers all of his affairs to remain in his own hands. He is willing to take chances on everything that comes along, hoping to get out on the general average if he cannot accomplish It by a shrewd trick. This may be termed a reversion to primitive and savage nature. But it is the gambler's na ture. A dispatch from Duluth, Minn., says that an agent of Booker T. Washing ton has made arrangements for the purchase of a large tract of land in Beltrami county, that state, for the purpose of establishing thereon a col ony of Southern negroes. Some of the proposed colonists, it is reported, have already arrived at the place. It would be Interesting to know if the promoters told the colonists that Min nesota is a very cold state, in which winter lasts for about as much as six months, with snow on the ground most of the time. The average negro has about as much horror of cold and ice as he has of the proverbial lake of fire and brimstone. And there is good rea son for it. Statistics show that in cold climates the black man is particularly susceptible to lung diseases. A professor of the Illinois State Normal School wishes to have James Whitcomb Riley's poems barred from the school library because “they are not written in classic English.” He objects to the dialect and the “ple bian dress” of the poems. Cannot the professor realize that far more people speak in dialect than in classic lan guage, that the immense majority are in "plebian dress,” and that to get near the great and warm hearts of these people it is necessary to adopt their dialect and “dress” for * pur poses of study? This Illinois professor cou*d not, to save his life, write in clatoic language a poem of such 'warm human interest as “Knee-deep in June.” PERSONAL, —No fat cadet at West Point hhs any chance of getting into the cavalry service.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says: "If the South Is no longer solid, perhaps Folk and Cockrell of Missouri will have to assume part of the re sponsibility.” The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) says: "President Roosevelt will find- In this section no todylng to an Indi vidual in power. He will find no bend ing of the knee in prayer for special favors, but he will find that the peo ple of Alabama are full of patriotism and are ever ready to welcome with hearty salute the coming among them of the Chief executive of a nation of which they form a most important part and to which they are ever loyal." The New Orleans Tlmee-Democra* (Dem.) says: "No American, no mat ter in what aectfon he dwells, could ask Mr. Itoosavelt to do more than live up to the spirit of his Bt. Louis address In it he has said all that oould reasonably be expected, and we think the country Is prepared to take him at his word.

That Mr. Roosevelt realises this as eissrly and announces bis I Mention so post, lively and significantly is Indeed for lunate for the sour try/* Electioneering Long Ago. Apropos of electioneering customs, someone has extracted from William Cowper’s letters a description of the methods of an eighteenth century can didate. “We were sitting yesterday at dinner,* writes Cowper, “the two la dies and myself, very composedly, and without the least apprehension of any such Intrusion, in our snug parlor, one lady knitting, the other netting, and the gentleman winding worsted. Sud denly, to our unspeakable surprise, a mob appeared before the window; a smart tap was heard at the door, the boys halloo'd and the maid announced Mr. Grenville. Candidates are crea tures not very susceptible of affront, and would rather, I suppose, climb In at the window than be absolutely ex cluded. In a minute the yard, the kitchen and the parlor were filled. Mr. Grenville, advancing toward me, shook me by the hand with a degree of cor diality that was extremely seducing. As soon as he and as many more as could find chairs were seated, he began to open the intent of his visit. I told him I had no vote, for which he really gave me credit. I assured him I had no influence, which he was not equal ly inclined to believe. * * * Thus ended the conference. Mr. Grenville squeezed my hand again, kissed the ladies and withdrew. He kissed like wise the maid in the kitchen, and seemed upon the whole a most loving, kissing, kind-hearted gentleman.” A* Told By a Barber. Barbering may not be a lordly occu pation, but the barber has his trou bles, says the New York Press. One of the rich men of New' York, for ex ample, may toe seen daily in a down town shop, patronized by bankers principally, sitting erect in the chair of the boss, vigorously reading a news paper through eye-glasses and strenu ously puffing a black cigar. The bar ber moans and groaus, but cannot de cline to shake the individual, who gives a 10-cent tip. “But it is something frightful to shake that man,” he says. "The slightest touch knocks off his glasses, and he swears. Then I must watch that cigar, lest I burn my hand, And I must not interfere with his pa per, for he declares he has no time for reading except when in the chair. He refuses to take off his collar, but must he shaved low on the neck. I wish he would stay away.” This same barber used 'to go to a residence in Fifth avenue, near Fifty seventh street, to shave three times a week a millionaire paretic who had to toe lifted out of bed and placed In a chair for the operation. The charge for this attention is 50 cents. The man never knew when he was being shaved. The grave finally got him after, five years of pitiless insanity. He had not sense enough to commit suicide. Rival Organizations. The man who had been keeping his seat in a crowded street car spoke at last to the young woman who had been eyeing him Intently for five min utes or longer, says the Chicago Trib une. “I know I ought to get up and let you have my seat, madam,” he said, "but I’m pledged against that sort of thing. I have just joined the “Sit Still Club,' an organization we have formed in our part of town, and if I should violate the solemn obligation I took when I became a member of that body I should be expelled and held up to the execration of ail the other members.” “That is all right, sir,” replied the young woman/ “You mustn’t mind my looking at you, I’m a member of the ‘Stand and Stare Club.’ ” After which she continued to stand and stare at him. Reflections of a BnoHelor. From the New York Press. The train that your relatives take to visit you Is always on time. Women would subtract even more years from their age than they do ex cept that it would make thqm infant. It disgusts a bald-headed man be yond expression to see the way some people part their hair down the mid dle. When a woman’s husband has made money In the stock market she keeps it as secret as if she were a brass band. • It makes a girl awful nervous when she thinks a man is proposing to her, to find he is telling her of his engage ment to another. A Linguistic Tragedy. From the New York Times. A Korean maiden coy was she, whose parents were passing rich; A Russian of noble blood was he, with a name that ended in ’’vitch." Her matronymic he couldn’t pronounce, so simply called her “Dear”— She merrily tried to babble his name, but found it “too awfully queer.” Now every one knows that by Korean law, which cannot be gainsaid, The hubby takes his true wife’s name the moment that they are wed; So pity the lot of this wretched Russ who couldn’t pronounce his name, Nor envy the fate of the Korean maid to whom he ascribed the blame. To them In the course of time were born twin offspring—a girl and boy; And then a terrible strife arose that clouded the parents' Joy, Ae to whether the "k's” or the “q’s” or the "o’s” In the names should predominate. Or whether the “vttch's" or "ski’s” or “off’s" should determine the chil dren’s fate. There might be two ends to this hor rid tale, as you have probably guessed; I’ve tried them both, and I'm Jigger ed quite If I know which is the best (Which Is an ungrammatical way to say. if you stick to the very let ter. That ”I've tried them both, and I’m Jiggered quite if I know which is the better.") And this Is the first: They solved the puzzle by calling them “Bob” and "Sue." And lived their lives In connubial bliss In the town of Tungwuan-pu. And this is the other: The war broke out and the Russ fell fighting his foe, And the widow and orphans annexed a Jap and reside In Pltauwo. An Italian laborer named Baccalina has asked the New York police to help him find his twin daughters, Rosa ahd Virginia, who, according to Bac calina, have come to look down upon his rough hands and unpolished ways.

From the New York World. As the result of his exhaustive ex periments with a squad of United States soldiers doing heavy gymna sium work under restricted diet. Prof. Chittenden of Yale, concludes that most people eat too much. The men were worked hard In gym nasium and gained steadily and great ly in strength while they were being fed far less than the average diet. They were called the “Starvation Squad,” but their photographs taken at the close of the experiment do not look like those of starving men, rath er like those of competent gymnasts. Says Prof. Chittenden in his recently published “Physiological Economy in Nutrition” “Our results • * jus tify the conviction that the minimal proteid requirements of the healthy man under ordinary conditions of life are far below the generally accepted dietary standards, and far below the amounts called for by the acquired tastes of the generality of mankind. The amount of proteid or albuminous food needed daily fer the actual phys iological wants of the body is not more than one-half of the proteid food ordi narily consumed by the average man. Body-weight (when once adjusted to the new level), health, strength, men tal and physical vigor and endurance can be maintained with at least one half of the proteid food ordinarily con sumed.” Proteids are the chemical elements that most people get by a meat diet, though beans, peas and some other vegetables are also strong in proteids. Eat less meat is the practical equiva lent of Prof. Chittenden’s advice. It has often been noticed by ama teur mountaineers that Adirondack guides and Swiss mountain men eat less solid food than the average Wall street broker, who does little physical labor. OIH TRADE WITH CHINA. From the New York Sun. In 1880 our exports to China amount ed to only $1,101,383, but in 1904 the to tal was $12,862,202. This was reach ed by the following fluctuating stages: 1880 $ 1,101,383 1885 6.396,5')0 1890 2,946.209 1895 3,603,840 1900 15,259,167 1901 10,405,834 1902 24,722,900 1903 18,898,163 1904 12,862,202 The drop of $6,000,000 in 1903 from 1902 was in cotton cloths and mineral oils—equal amounts. For the first we have to thank the activity of the cot ton mills in China, and for the second Russian inroads on our Asiatic trade in mineral oils. In 1904 we dropped a further $6,000,000. In fact, we drop ped a further $9,500,000 in cotton cloths, but we came up $2,900,000 in mineral oils. Our imports from China In 1880 were $21,769,618, while in 1904 they were $23,- 342,188. This result was reached by the following stages: 1880 $21,769,618 1885 16,292,169 1890 16,260,471 1895 20,545,829 1900 26,896,626 1901 18,303,^06 1902 21,055,830 1903 26,648,845 1904 29,342,488 Our trade with Hong Kong could properly be added to our Chinese fig ures, increasing exports by $9,000,000 and imports by $1,500,000, both aver aged. / PAID TO SAVE RAJAH’S FOOT. From the Philadelphia Record. Kittanning, Pa., Nov. 24.—Dr. C. A. T (lower of this place has returned from S.t. Louis, mystified still, but covered with presents worth about 110,000. He has also promised to re move to India within a year to be come private physician to Rajah Tipe Sahigh, a dignitary of whose exist ence Dr. Flower was in complete Ig norance until some days ago, when he was confronted ■with the Rajah's courier in St. Louis. Eleven years ago, while at Chicago attending the World’s Fair, Dr. Flow er was instrumental in saving the foot of a young foreigner who had been trampled on by a camel. The lad, who appeared to be a Hindoo, pressed on the physician a peculiar medal and took in exchange the physician’s card. Some weeks ago Dr. Flower was sent a copy of a Western paper In which his name was mentioned. Would he call at the Indian embassy at St. Louis, bringing with him a medal which bad been given him for services at Chicago tn 1893 by a young native of India? The doctor hunted up his medal and hurried to St. Louis, the advertisement reading that he should be there before Nov. 22. The Kittanning physician was at once handed presents from the new Rajah Tipe Sahib, who, It seems, was the lad whose foot he had saved at Chicago. The Indian dignitary hoped that the American doctor would ac cept his poor presents and would come to India to live as his private physi cian. Dr. Flower will go to India on April 1. _ BOY TURNED TO RABBIT. From the Philadelphia Ledger.
