Secretaries Chosen and Working Committees of the Conference Nnineil— addresses Were Hearo from Men Prominent In the Affairs of the Church—Bishop Galloway Is to Be at the Conference To-day. Bishop Dnnean to Meet Elders. Mcßae. Ga., Nov. 30.—Promptly at 9 o’clock this morning, Bishop Wal lace W. Duncan opened the Thirty eighth session of the South Georgia Conference by having the conference sing the well known Igymn, “Draw Nigh O Son of God, Draw Nigh.” Commenting on a portion of the scrip ture beginning with the words “Be loved now are we the sons of God.” the Bishop said: “Brethren be yourself. Don’t try to imitate someone else. Don’t trouble yourself about your feel ings. Don't get out of your bed every morning and put your own thermome ter to your feelings. Don't be given to cant and hypocracy. Don’t worry if you can’t say hallelujah like some body else. Be righteous—not that type that must climb to the house top to proclaim it. You can't command your feelings at will—but you can com mand your faith. Sometimes preachers come to me and say, ‘why did you give that man that appointment. I can preach as well as he can?’ The Lord bless the brother—the trouble is that he is about the only one that has discovered this ‘state of affairs,’ ‘I am thankful in the providence of God that I am with you again, brethren, in spite of the newspapers—who had me unable to do anything—l had just sim ply gotten a seasickness from riding in cars over crooked railroad tracks.” The address was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire conference.

The young pteachers were asked to indicate to the bishop if they desired to trans fer. The president of Lane Institute, a school located in Jackson, Tenn., for the Christian education of color ed .people, was introduced to the con ference. Before proceeding with ills address Bishop Duncan warned him not to consume as much time as Rev. J. D. Hammond, who preceded him. The address was so In telligent, so earnest and so well chosen that the ear of the conference was caught at once. The school is under the direction of the M. E. Church, South, Recently the plant was destroyed by fire. The Rev. Bray, in concluding his address, asked the conference to give him a collection to assist In the erection of another building. By way of exhor tation he told of the prayer of a little boy who. being hungry, prayed the Lord to give him something to eat— even if It was crumb*. A little brother standing nearby stopped him, and told him that inasmuch as the need was great and he was praying to a pow t rful person, Just to ask for pie, "Now," said the speaker, "we are willing to take the crumbs this morn ing, but, Bishop, I want to ask tor pie." Tie address was so well received that a elmple exhortation from the Bishop to make a contribution for this pur pose was quickly accepted by the con ference, In a moment bills, silver, and smaller coins were being tossed all over the secretary's table.

The opinion that Nissen was lost be came general this afternoon, when it was found thait after twentv-four hours of silence, there was Still abso lutely no word from the inventor, who some years ago shot the whirlpool rap ids of Niagara Falls in a barrel. He hag not been sighted by any vessel. He has not. so far as is reported, drifted ashore at any point. At least his rel atives have not heard of it. Possibility of Nissen’s smothering to death was considered more definitely when it was learned that his only sup ply of air was that pumped into the “Fool Killer" before the craft was launched. It was said by Nissen's brothers, however, that the navigator had computed his air supply carefully, and figured that it would last him for a great number of hours.

"I would like to see more Germans come to Atlanta.” he said, “but they do not come because they are a liberal people. Atlanta Is not a liberal city. In many respects we are very narrow.

Promise of This Was Made by Col. Baiter, Who Will Attend (t Con ference of llallrond Men In New York—Should Satisfnctlon Not He Given the Rfitirond Commission Will Take New Action to Get Low er Hate. ns Desired by Atlanta. Atlanta, Nov. 30.—Litigation over the question of freight rates was ab ruptly ended In the United States court to-day as the result of an agreement reached between counsel on both sides, which promises nothing so far as lower rates are concerned, beyond an ef fort to get the railroad officials to make concessions which will satisfy the people of Atlanta, and of the state, who have been complaining. Negotiations which resulted In this agreement were begun when Col. Ed. Baxter of Nashville, attorney for the railroads, called attention to the fact that there is to be a meeting of the executive officers of the Southern rail roads In New York city next Mon day for the purpose of considering the whole rate adjustment between the Potomac river and the Mississippi. "I will advise my clients to make every effort," Col. Baxter said to At torney General Hart, and the other counsel for the state and the Atlanta Freight Bureau, "to reach a revision of the present freight rates that will prove satisfactory to the Georgia Hall road Commission, if the commission will first withdraw circulars 301 and 302, so Ss to relieve me of any em barrassment.” Revoked the Circulars. Several conferences followed, with the result that the agreement was reached, the objectionable circulars were revoked by the commission, the suits for Injunction were dismissed,arid now it remains to hear only what the railroad officials have to say about the matter. Attorney General Hart first address ed the court this morning, and read a letter which ho had written to Col. Baxter in reply to his suggestion. In this letter It was shown that in the event of a revocation of the circulars and dismissal of the suits, the com mission would be In a position to pass any orders it might deem necessary, If the railroad officials decline to make any revision of rates. Judge Hart then read the order of the commission, passed this morning, revoking Circulars 301 and 302, except so much of the order of July 16, as re fers to Interstate rates, which was al lowed to stand. He concluded with a statement in which he said It was the desire of the Atlanta Freight Bureau to let the matter take this course, be cause It does not want to prejudice In any way th Interests of other sec tions of th* state. Col. Baxter then read his memoran dum of the agreement and took an or der dismissing all the suits for Injunc tion. Relief Over the Result. Alt of the lawyers connected with the litigation express themselves as highly gratified over the courae ths matter has taken, ft brings to an end a long litigation, which a> "ordlng to general opinion, could hardly have re sulted in a victory for the Railroad Commission.

In his speech, the King, said: “When for the first time I spoke be fore Parliament, I affirmed my strong belief in liberty. My experience since then has confirmed my belief, and has persuaded me that only with liberty can the ponderous problems now stand ing before all the peoples of the world, raised by the new aspirations and new attitudes of the social forces, be solved. My government will continue to follow the policy of granting ample liberty within the limits of the law, which should be strongly defended, and which has met with such strong approbation from the country." The King then announced the intro duction of bills having the object of progressively elevating the condition of the working classes, facilitating an equitable and peaceful solution of the conflicts between capital and labor, substituting co-operation among all classes for sterile struggles and "re placing strikes which mean victory only tor the strongest, by arbitration, which means victory for Justice.” STARVATION AND MALARIA CAUSING MANY DEATHS.
