METHODIST MINISTERS
DISCUSS 4-YEAR TERMS
Churoh to bo Constituted.
rritnlllT* Baptiar church will h* con
stituted si tb* old- Brae* tn**tlng house,
rnrii*r ltnul*rard and llnuston-st*.. nn
WMlweday. at M a. m. Elder* W. II.
Smith and 8. H. Whatley sr* expected to
h* present tn preach and nlflclnt*.
The question of the abolishment of
the present four years’ term In the
Methodist Episcopal Church South was
the subject up for discussion before the
meeting uf the ministers of that de
nomination at Trinity church house on
Monday morning and greater Interest
waa manifested than at any meeting
for a long time. Rev. Dr. W. T. Hun-
nlcutt, of I-avne Atemorlal church, con
tended for the abolishment of the time
limit, while Rev. Dr. R. F. Eakes. of
Wesley Memorial church, argued In fa
vor of a continuation of the present
itinerant sysiem.
With the conclusion of the arguments
followed by a general discussion a vote
was taken and of the eighteen voting
nine favored abolishing the time limit
and nine the continuation of the pres
ent plan as presented by Dr. Enkqp,.
Dr. J. T. Daves, presiding elder of the
district, who also presided over the
meeting, was asked to decide the con
test. He refused to do so, but admitted
that he favored abolishing the four
years' time limit.
There are over 17.000 communicant*
of the Methodist Church South In the
Atlanta district alone, this being the
largest In Southern Methodism In point
of numbers and in many other ways. It
was sdniltted by several of the speak
ers that that laity were greatly Inter
ested in this matter, and even Dr.
Eakes. contending for the Itinerant
method, stated that some 95 per cent of
the Atethodlsts with whom he talked
were In favor of abolishing the limit, as
It was done some six years ago In the
Northern Methodist church.
Able Arguments Heard.
Many and able were the arguments
advanced on both aides, the one con
tending that this limit was hurting the
progress of church work and the other
Insisting that the itinerant method was
responsible for moat of the great good
tlfat had been accomplished, '
Rev. Dr. M. J. Cofer !h the dlsqus-
alqp urged doing away with the time
limit. Pastors, he said, were only ap
pointed for one year, anyway, and If
there was need for a change this pro
vided the means.
Rev. H. C. Christian. St. Johns
Church, favored the present plan.
Rev. M. L. Troutman. Pe.rk-st.
church, said: ’’Conditions have changed
and we must change or be hurt by out-
of-date method*. We are working un.
der an anachronism. It Is a crime
against the preacher and the church to
remove him simply because of a time
limit.
Rev. R. H. Robb and Rev. Dickerson
Moore both favored the present Itiner
ant plan.
Dr. Hunleutt said ‘among other
things: "I candidly believe that- the
time limit should be Rbollshed. altho
not In any way to Interfere with the
present appointive powers of Ih#
church. It seems to me the limit works
an untold hardship on Methodist min
Isters. No matter how good the work
he Is doing, no matter how much he
love* his people or Is loved by them,
when the clock strikes he must move.
I do not think thet th* grest work
accomplished by Methodism waa ever
due to tho Itinerant system.”
Dr. Eakes. having stated that he had
the reputation of being so orthodox as
to be sway-bark, then said In part:
’’It seems to me we have -done pretty
well under this system. We started
out moving every *1* months, but In
1868 the limit was placed at four years.
I think the success Is sufficient leaving
well enough alone. No other church, as
a whole, measures up to our church
machinery.”
How Will Governor
Prison Commission Get
Along Together?
With Governor Smith mithorind to ap
prove •very xct of the prtxon rormniiiion,
which involve! fhe leasing or buying of farms
[or equipment, and in disposing of sny
I'‘overs." sn interesting sit nation is present-
led in the state penitentiary department,
j Altho the new convict law does not make
Governor .Smith an ex ofdelo member of the
i hoard, the commission cannot do anything and
j everything, as in the past,- without the *p-
prnval Of tho governor,
i This festure is what makes the interesting
1 <itustion. ‘The governor's Arm *tand on the
1 convict questtnir, snd his insistent demand for
! the termination of convict leasing in Georgia,
ha* not put him in high favor with the mem
bers of the commission. , , . t '
, It is known that Governor Smith will novel
consent to the leasing of any "overs by
the prison commission until it Is proven to
his hack teeth that auch action is absolutely
a«Mtawy. and already thera are rumors of
some action liy the prison commission which
alii relieve it of the necessity of acting with
the governor sod seeking nil approval of,
actions. •
It is known that Governor Smith is Invest!
gating the feasibility of making arrangements
for the securing of a farm and some con
victs so that a crop may be started befdrs
April 1. next year, when the convicts art
turned in by leasee*. If the stats waits until
that time to begin a crop there will he no
crop and the governor is anxious to have th*
farm started in .Tanuar- Ht may seoure
some convicts from the state farm and it is
poseibla that he may secure some 'over*
which formerly went to ,W.-B. Hamby and
•But whatever is done, the fact that the
governor must approve important actions of
the prison commission when that body is
composed as it is, makes the situation inter
esting. ,

EXHIBITORS RUSH
FOR SPACE AT FAIR
Every Inch of apace In th* big man
ufactures building at Piedmont Park
has been assigned by Manager Weldon,
of the Atlanta Fair Association, and
late applicants for space are' being
given space oulslda the building under
temporary coverings.
That th* Georgia State Fair this year
that has ever been given
tht tremendous volume of exhibitors,
midway shows and privilege applica
tions. It la hardly possible that every
one will be accommodated.
The horse show during the fair will
~b€ on* of the greatest attractions for
society end horsemen. All the entrle*
that participated In the show last year
and many more from New- Orleans,
Louisville, Memphis ami Richmond era
coming to contest for the big prists.
The auction of boxes comes off • thl*
The races will also be one of the big
drawing cards, ficveral strings nf fast
animals will be housed on the lower
part of th* grounds long before the rac.
ing begin*, and Ihe management ex
pects to begin building covering for ad.
dltlonal strings of racers that will be
coming after the meeting is opened.
Fin* Poultry Show.
The .live stock, poultry and pet stock
exhibits will far surpass anything aver
seen at the fair grounds. Th* exhibits
snd entries this year are bigger and
batter In every respect than those seen
at former shows. More Interest will
be teken In this branch of the big show
by fsnclers beesuee nf the great edu
cational campaign that has bean sweep.
Ing over th* fiouth sine* 1907.
The "101 Ranch" wild west show and
one of ihe kind Ihut will thrill the heart
of the youngster, the horsemen, the ex
pert rifle shot, the expert larlst thrower
and the amateur Indian scouts Is com
ing to the Atlanta fair with the bent list
of added features ever seen In any show
of lie kind in the fiouth.
Those who saw- "101 Ranch" last ye*r
will hardly recognize the hlg-aggrega-
tlon that will open the fair next vn-jrth.
It requires twenty-seven of the sixty-
foot show car* to carry the show that
la coming, whereas, the show that
Georgians saw last year would hardly
flll one-fourth that number.
Wild West Attraction.
A little Sioux Indian lass. Princess
chan-ta-ka-wea fLittle* Shooting Oil'll,
one of Ihe beet rifle shots In this Cbun-
tty, was picked up In Ihe Dakotas by
one of the Miller boys and she will
hereafter be one of the features of this
outfit. There are fifty genuine buffa
loes. one-tenth of all the buffaloes in
Ihe United Slates, with the show. There
are twenty-four gocd-looklng cow girls,
the same number of row boys, a whole
tribe of Indiana, bucking horsec. long
horn steers, tails t throwers, nnd. In
fact, everything that goes to make up a
real wild and woolly western show.
