Dec. 1. —The second day’s session of the South Georgia Conference was an interesting one. FY>r response to the eighteenth ques tion, "Who axe superannuated?" the names of D. R. McWilliams, A. M. Wynn, S. G. Childs, J. M. Austin, the latter having recently died, his name was given to the Committee of Mem jnoirs; W. F. Roberts, W. S. Balter, R, F. Williamson, J. T. Ainsworth, C. D. Adams, D. F. Riley, W. C. Jones, W. C. Brewton, P. C. Harris, D. F. Miles, W. M. C. Conely and C. E.

MacDonell, the presiding elder stated that he was exceedingly feeble, but that the religious habits of his life still moved him to daily wor ship and devotion. The seventeenth question was called and George C. Thompson and J. M. Boland were granted a supernumerary relations. Rev. G. T. Roberts, having broken down in health, was granted a super annuated relations. A Letter from Korea. A communication was read from Rev. J. L. Gerdine, missionary to Korea. For years Mr. Gerdine, before entering the ministry, was one of the leading lawyers in Macon. Referring to the effect of the war between Japan and Russia on Korea, Mr. Gerdine wrote that it must necessarily prove of in valuable benefit to the cause of Christ. Question No. 2: “Who remained on trial?" The names of the following preachers were read, and having stood an approved examination, they submit ted their reports. Their presiding el ders reported on their cases; their characters were passed, and they were elected to deacon's orders: Guy D. Moses, Olmstead K. Hopkins, Paul Wesley Ellis and John W. Bridges. The Bishop’s questions to the young preachers, as to how many had been really converted in their charges this year; how many members they had who had taken the church papers; do you preach to your congregation on the value of Christian literature? caught some of them napping. The Bishop's Religious Papers. One young minister reported that he had not secured a single subscriber for the Wesleyan Christian Advocate. “My friend,” said the Bishop. "If you are sent away you will not have a single paper to represent you. How any man can smoke up and chew up SSO a year and then refuse to pay $2 a year for a religious paper for his wife. I can’t see. I suppose that his good wife prays daily, 'Good Lord who will deliver me from the body of this death.’ Rev. J. M. Foster, stated that many of the people were satisfying them selves by talcing so-called religious Papers that only cost 50 cents a year. "Why do you allow your people to take such papers?” "We can’t help ourselves,” replied the preacher. "Some of these very Papers come from your state.” This sally brought down the conference. The Bishop seemed somewhat embar rassed. but rallied and replied: "I can’t help these papers coming from my state, I suppose if tainted meat was to come from South Carolina, you would want to eat it.” The roll-calf Included, David B. Mur itt. Robert A. Sowell, Jas. N. Pea ,<*nd S. J. Davis. L. B. Mc- Michel and John E. Ellis, were dis continued at their own request. Provi dential reasons made it necessary for the two young ministers to withdraw from the conference. Elected to Deacon's Orders. Rev. Olln L. Evans, Alonso N. Rprayberry, Samuel A. Mitchell and alter Anthony, local preachers were elected to Deacon's Orders. J, M. Langford, from the Methodist Protes tant f’hurch, and H. Judson Graves, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, had their orders recognized by the con ference. Rev- A - M. Cason, who left the Methodist Episcopal Church), a few years ago, and connected himself with a small organization, known as the | ongregatlonal Methodist Church, hav ing returned to the M. E. Church, Enuth, asked through the presiding el °er; of the Waycross District, that this no.ly recognize his order of eldership. ? ,*■ effort resulted in a spirited de bate. Many were willing to let Rev. * aeon come back as a Deacon, the order* he had when he left our church, but the majority, of the conference was not willing for him to have his or • *"?._** which he had received m this church recognised.

Weston, so It developed in the dls cussion that in the last few years he had connected himself with the min istry of several churches. The Bishop contended that these ministers ought to return with the original orders giv en them; tWat having surrendered these orders to the ministry with which they had connected themselves, the confer ence could not with any sense of self respect receive and recognize the or ders from other connections, where lit tle was known as to their teachings or record. Elected Elders. Question No. 7, “Wo are deacons for one year?" was called and the follow ing young ministers, having stood an approved examination, and submitted their reports, had their characters passed and were elected to elders or ders: J. N. Hudson, John E Beals, Solon H. Bryan, James W. Lilley, John Swain, Charles G. Earnest, Charles R. Jenkins, Thomas F. Drake, S. S. Kenvp, and H. B. Bardwell. Thomas F. Drake and S. S. Kemp and R. B. Ross, on account of physical disability during the year, did not stand their examina tions and were continued in the same class for another year. Rev. W. P. Turner of Japan was introduced to the conference, as was Rev. Crawford Jackson, the agent of an orphanage in Atlanta for colored children. Mr. Jackson’s plea was for the support of the institution. At one time Mr. Jackson was a member of the South Georgia Conference. Four hun dred colored girls have been cared for and trained for usefulness in the home since its organization. A collection was taken for it. Mission Work in Brazil. Rev. W. R. Lambuth, D. D., mission ary secretary of the M. E. Church, South, who has just returned from an official visit to Brazil, was given an opportunity, after introduction, to address the conference. The address •was a most encouraging address on the work for home and foreign missions throughout the church. It developed during the address that Southern Methodism will raise this year within $150,000 of a round $1,000,- 000 for missions. The report of the work in Cuba and Brazil gave univer sal satisfaction to the conference. The Closing remarks of Dr. Lambuth, in which he referred to the death of his mother after spending fifty years in missionary work in China, and her 'burial in this far-away land, brought tears to the eyes of many. Dr. Magath, missionary to the He brews, was very pleasantly presented to the conference by the Bishop, Rev. W. B. Burke of China, Rev. Jones of the Tennessee conference, and Rev. Brewton of the Baptist Churcs, this city, were introduced to the confer ence. After various announcements, the conference was dismissed with the benediction by Dr. Lambuth. Rev. J. W. Lourance of Quitman, preached this afternoon, and Bishop Galloway to-night. Relief Association Met. The Relief Association of the South Georgia Conference held its annual meeting, this afternoon at the close of the preaching service, Rev. J. P. Wardfaw, president, presiding. Rev. J. A. Smith, the treasurer, submitted a report of the year’s work. The re port developed that the association is in a healthy, growing condition. This is a kind of insuranee order in the conference. Every clerical member pays $3.10 on the death of a mem ber, and laymen and Sunday-schools sl. Rev. J. P. Wardlaw was re-elect ed president; W. Langston, vice pres ident; J. A. Smith, secretary and treasurer. The announcement that Bishop Charles Galloway would address the congregation at 7 o’clock, drew a con- STARVED TO DEATH. Our text to-day is the story of the miser who taught his ass to live on straw, of which he gave him a smaller portion every day. Just as the miser had got him so trained as to eat one straw a day— the poor ass died. He is an ass who starves himself to death —as thousands are doing, mis led by foolish teachers —because their stomachs have become too weak, through neglect or disease, to do the work which nature has provided for their stomachs to do. Because the engine is out of gear, would you consign it to the Junk heap? Why, no! Mend It! Commit slow suicide because your digestive organs leak? Certainly not! Take Stuart’s Dys pepsia Tablets. One thing is sure as shooting. You can never get anew stomach. You must mend it, or It will lead you a miserable existence. The only way to mend it is to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This has been practically and scien tifically demonstrated by the many thousands whom Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet* have positively cured, after every other treatment of medicine, mineral waters, pills and slow, suicidal starvation had fulled. These methods are all unscientific— therefore false. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scien tific —therefore true and successful. Having cured so many thousands— many of whom doubtlesa have suf fered more than you do—do we claim too much when we say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good to you? Surely not. Especially when we make it plain that no promise is made to cure more then one disease—Dyspepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cure for Just this one disease. They are a scientific combination of Ingredients which search out the weak •pots in ail the digestive organs and make them strong and well. They have sn Immediate digestive action on undigested food, and thus, while curing weak organa, they at the same time help them to do their work.

Sunlli Georgia Lead*. Owing to delay by rail, Bishop Gallo way not having arrived, Rev. W. R. Lambuth, D. D., of Nashville, Tenn., was pressed into service. In opening his address Dr. Lambuth said: “I am glad that I am here to-night to listen to the gratifying reports of your treas urer. Indeed, I say to you that this showing cannot be duplicated in the Southern Methodist Church. Then you are supporting more missionaries in the field than any six conferences in the connection.” In his address the speaker paid a glowing tribute to the late Robert Mc- Intire of Trinity Church, Savannah, who gave to the church certain funds to be used in mission work. He commended the church for its interest and activity in the “forward movement," and told of some of the different features of the work being done through its efforts. He insisted that the work be contin ued. His description of home mission work in England and the work In Bra zil, from which country he has Just re turned, was zo entertaining and in structive that the large congregation was delighted. His reflections on the Japanese-Russian War were of more than ordinary interest, as he lived in Japan for years. He stated that in the face of the war the Southern Methodist Church has made the greatest gains there in Its history. CHAPMAN WAS INSANE. So Said the British Jury That Con sidered Ills Suicide.

Chapman, while in Paris exhibited signs of derangement.

Philadelphia, Dec. I.—President Roosevelt was to-day requested by the National Women’s Christian Temper ance Union, In convention here, to see that Congress observes the existing treaties with the Indians prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors before granting statehood rights to Indian Territory. A telegram was forwarded to the President, asking him to use his influ ence to carry out the treaties of our government with the Indians concern ing the sale of intoxicating liquors In Indian Territory, and that this prohib itory clause be inserted in the enab ling act for the new state. Mrs. M. M. Allen of New York re viewed the work for a year, in the expose of the alcoholic nature of many patent medicines. “This topic excites more interest than any other brought before the state unions,” said Mrs. Allen, “and a mark ed feature of the year has been the number of W. C. T. U. meetings ad dressed by physicians and the greatly increased interest manifested in the W. C. T. U. by the medical profession,” Mrs. Lucy Thurman of Michigan, the national superintendent of work among colored people, said the branch was becoming effective in the politics of communities. The Fourth ward of Columbus, 0., was cited as an In stance of the strength of the colored union at the polls.

One of the reso lutions is as follows: “We deplore the tendency of modem writers of fiction to assume that the bottle and the pipe are necessary ad juncts of many of their characters, and we recognize the statements of Dr. Crothers. the well known author ity on Inebriety, ‘that the use of alcohol is influencing literature of the day.’ ” The Executive Committee announced that the convention of 1905 will be held In Los Angeles, Cal.

GRANDSON OF STONEWALL JACKSON APPOINTED TO A CADETSHIP President Sends Stonewall Jackson Christian of Atlanta to West Point. By R. M. Larncr. Washington, D. C. Dec. I.—“lf I can place the name of Stonewall Jackson in the army register lam going to do it.” It was this way that President Roosevelt to-day announced to a de legation of Southern Congressmen that he intended to designate the grandson of the late General Stonewall Jackson, C. S. A., for appointment to the Mili tary Academy at West Point. Among the callers at the White House this morning were Representa tive Lon Livingston of the Atlanta district and Professor W. C. Woodard, of the Georgia Military Academy. The object of their visit was to re quest the President to appoint Stone wall Jackson Christian, a grandson of the great Southern soldier, to a cadet ship at West Point within the gift of the chief executive. When the proposition was first made to the President he said his rule had been to reserve these appointments for the sons of men who had served in the United States Army. When the President was Informed that the young man was a grandson of the famous Southern general, Stonewall Jackson, and also one of the bright est students at the Georgia Military Academy, College Park, Georgia, the situation appealed to him in an en tirely new light During the conversation that ensued the military career and the high moral character of Stonewall Jackson were briefly reviewed. So deeply was the President impressed with the subject as presented that he remarked: “It has been the practice to give this class of appointments to the sons of army officers only, but I am going to make an exception in this case If I can place the name of Stonewall Jackson in the army register I am go ing to do it. I do not do it for Georgia alone, but I do it for the entire South.” Christian is a son of William E. Christian of the passenger department of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, with headquarters at Atlanta. Mr. Chris tion for several years was a member of the New York Herald staff in Washington. He married the only daughter of the late Stonewall Jack son. At the same time the President took occasion to state that he proposed to give two West Point appointments to Georgia. The other, he said, would be given to the son of Harry Still well Edwards, the present postmaster at Macon. It was Mr. Edwards who seconded the nomination of President Roosevelt at the Republican National convention on behalf of the Republi cans of the South. Later In the day several Democratic congressmen from Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana called upon the Presi dent to pay their respects. The Presi dent referred with pride to the fact that he had decided to appoint the grandson of Qen. Stonewall Jackson a cadet at West Point. In the group were Representatives Bankhead, Clay and Richardson of Alabama, and Rep resent at Iv Sims of Tennessee. As they left the White House they were commenting upon the cordial manner 1n which the President had received them and hia friendly expression* con The Manufacturers ’ Lace Curtain Sale Starts Sharply at 10 O’clock. We expect some of you will be here long before the hour of the most mar- cerning the Southern people generally. Incidental to the appointment of Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s grandson. Judge Richardson apparently voiced the sen timents of his colleagues when he said: “In view of what the President wild to us to-day we should proceed upon the presumption that he Is going to give the South a square deal. The presentation of the name of the grandson of Stonewall Jackson to the President was well timed, for the President’s military spirit was fully aroused by a preceding incident. Just prior to the arrival of Representative Livingston the President had been pre sented with an old German rapier, coming down from the fifteenth cen tury. Representative Lawney of Min nesota, on behalf of one of his German constituents, delivered to the Presi dent a sword, of ancient design and description, which, the donor said, had been in the family of Capt. Magnus of New York during the past four cen turies. It was related ss part of the history of the remarkaible weapon that It had figured in 115 deadly combats. A facetious member of Congress, who happened to be present while the trans fer of the rapier from Mr. Tawney to the President was being made, sug gested: “You better accept it, Mr. President; you might need it to use on one of those Southern Governors.” The humor of the remark was fully appreciated by the general laughter which followed. Was a Courier for Barry. Atlanta, Dec. I.—Stonewall Jackson Christian is at prssent a first lieuten ant of his company at the Georgia Mil itary Academy at College Park. Dur ing the army maneuvers at Manassas he was a courier on the staff of Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Barry.
