ID MINISTRY
The Revs. E. H. and John B. Me- 1
Gehee Oldest Active Workers !
in South Ga. Conference.
CODTIMTltTS. Aug. IS.—Perhatm
there are no more Interesting char
acter. in Georgia than the Rev. E. H.
McGeheo, of Cplumbus, arid his broth
er, Dr. John B. McGehee, of Ogle
thorpe, whose combined services n
the ministry are 116 years. Both ware
horn in Perry, Houston County, and
■were admitted to the ministry when
young men.
Sunday night at East Hlghtands
Methodist Church in Columbus the
Rev E. H. McGehee, who Is pastor of
the church, will give some remi
niscences of 65 years as an Itinerant
minister. He was admitted to tho
South Georgia Conference 66 years
ago next November, in Columbus.
Since that time he has served two
years as a missionary to the negroes
ten years on circuits fifteen years .s|
a presiding elder and twenty-eight
years on stations Ol the class of 19
ministers admitted to the conference
with him, he is the only living, active
minister. In the past 60 years he has
not been confined to his room for a
period as long as four days at a time
from sickness.
The record of his brother. Dr. John
B McGehee, who Is now 80 years ?f
age Is still more remarkable. He has
been a minister for 61 years, during
which time he has served thirty-nine
years as presiding elder, two or three
years as president of Andrew College
and the remainder of the time on cir-
cults and stations During his long
and successful career he has repre
sented the South Georgia Conference
at nine sessions of the General Con
ference, which meets every four
y *r>r. McGehee is sstd to be the old
est presiding elder In the Southern
Methodist Church from a standpoint
of service while he and his brother
are the oidest effective ministers n
the South Georgia Conference, and
they arc strong refutation of the Idea
that a man when he reaches an ad
vanced age ts no longer capable of
rendering service to the church
The Rev. E. H. McGehee, of Co-
lumbus. is exceedingly active for a
man of 7-1 years of age, and on his
seventy-fourth birthday, which o< -
curred recently, he preached three
sermons and made a Sunday *chod
address in addition to making a num
ber of pastoral calls.
It is probable that there Is not a
charge within the bounds of the
South Georgia Conference that one or
these old and highly esteemed minis
ters has not served in some capacity
since their admission to the ministry.
During their ministry they have
* served a number of the leading
churches in South Georgia, and both
have been regarded as among the
ablest preachers In the conference
throughout their long careers.

MACON, Aug. 23.—Dock Mathis,
the negTo who shot and killed B. L.
Jossey, near Leesburg several days
ago, died Friday night In the Bibb
County jail at Macon, where he was
brought for safe keeping.
During the shooting Jossey is said
to have shot the negro in the side.
The wound was not serious, but the
negro hid in the woods for several
days and then laid in a shanrty In the
western part of Albany for a number
of hours without receiving medical
attention, blood poisoning set In and
he died.
Officer R. M. Denson, of the Al
bany police force, through whose ef
forts he and Sheriff Harbre were en
abled to capture Mathis, has receiv
ed the reward of *100 that was of
fered by Sheriff Moreland, of Lee
County, for the capture of the negro.
Officer Denson has not heard from
G A. Wallace and W. B. Bothwell,
who each offered a reward of *100,
but both are satisfied with the ar
rest of the negro and will pay the
reward at the proper time.
The negro was located In the west
ern part of Albany by Officer Den
son, and with the aid of Sheriff Bar-
bre he was captured and spirited
through the country to Macon, where
he was left for safe keeping.

THOMASVILLE, Aug. 23.—Em
ployee Rogers, of the Southern Bel:
Telephone Company, in this city, had
an experience with snakes a day or
two ago which was something of a
thriller and which he is not likely
to forget soon.
Rogers was sent out to C. B. Par
sons’ winter home near the country
club to do some work on a broken
telephone wire where he was trapped
under the house by two rattlesnakes.
There was nothing within reach
that could be used for killing a snake
so'he had only to wait and see what
would happen. After about a quar
ter of an hour one snake crawled
away and Rogers slipped down and.
grabbing a stick, attacked the one
remaining. He managed to kill it.
but only after a desperate fight, the
snake coiling up and fighting for all it
was worth. It was over five feet
long and a bad looking enemy. The
other could not be found.

COLUMBUS, GA., Aug. 23.—As an
evidence of the depleted condition of
the city treasury of Columbus, it has
been announced by the City Tax As
sessor that all city taxes due Sep
tember 1 and not paid promptly,
steps will be taken at once to collect
same, and to this end will issue exe
cutions against the property in order
to collect.
While the date upon which the
taxes are due is still several days
off, there is already much dissatisfac
tion over the announced intention of
the City Tax Collector. Heretofore
when it was not convenient for prop
erty owners to pay their taxes when
due, they were given njnre time and
given the privilege of paying interest
at the rate of 7 per cent. It is known
that much dissatisfaction is going to
be felt.
CORDELE, GA., Aug. 28.—Becom
ing dissatisfied over the tax of $1
per day recently assessed by the City
Council on transient buyers, local cot
ton men have refused to pay the
tax of $25 assessed them.
It is claimed that the tax on tran
sients is so low that it practically
gives them free rein to come into the
city and buy up all the cotton. The
local buyers state that they will not
be satisfied until the tax on tran
sients is made the Same as was as
sessed them. Some of them paid the
license and then recalled it. Cases
were made against them by the po
lice, and the matter will have to be
settled by Mayor Harder.
The movement of cotton in theCor-
dele market is getting well under
way, over 500 bales having been gin
ned and warehoused. Within the past
several days the receipts have been
increased rapidly, the farmers making
a strenuous rush to get the crop gath
ered and on the market to take ad
vantage of the very fair prices that
now prevail. Not a bale has been
held for better prices, and most of
the staple is classing as good mid
dling, with the prospects of the
grades nolding up well through all of
teh season.
Five • thousand bales above the re
ceipts of last year are expected in the
local market, due altogether to the
increased yield in Crisp County over
last season.
MOULTRIE. Aug. 23.—Hezekiah
Adams, of this county, has shaved
himself twice a week for 50 years, but
never owned a shaving mug, a razor,
a strop or a hone.
It is Mr. Adams’ boast that he keeps
his instrument used in lieu of a razor,
an old cleaver—twice the size of a
common razor—in the finest trim with
the least trouble of any man in the
country.
He wears old-style boots, and still
has one pair which he purchased 26
years ago. Wishing to shave, Mr. Ad
ams first puts oh these boots. He
then smacks the razor substitute back
and forth along the leather leg of the
left one for a minute or two. His
next operation is to moisten his face
with rain w'ater—no perfumed soap
for him—and then he Just shaves.

Bumper Cotton Crop
In Albany District
Several Hundred Bales Have Al
ready Been Received in
Market.
ALBANY, Aug. 23.—That about 50
per cent of the cotton in the Albany
territory is from ten to fifteen days
earlier than Jast year is the estimate
of well-informed cotton men In Al
bany. The fact that Albany has re
ceived several hundred bales already,
not counting that moved direct to the
compress, k considered evidence that
its estimate is approximately correct.
Last voar, in addition to making a
poor cotton crop, the farmers had no
forage and have had to buy high-
priced feed for eight months. While
the acreage in feed crops this year is
not much greater than it was last,
the farmers have paid more atten
tion to Us cultivation, therefore mak-
j ing a better cop. With a bumper cot
ton crop and plenty of feed for their
I stock, the farmers expect a season of
| prosperity.

The Board of Trade is anxious to

SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.—It is not
likely that the new system of account
ing, recommended by the auditors
who recently checked up the city's
books, will be put into effect before
the first of the year. Likewise none
of the changes recommended along
with the new system will be mads
before the first of the year. Pre
liminary reports on the proposed new
system, together with the severai
recommendations for changes in th«
methods of conducting the municipal
government, are now in the hands oi
Mayor Richard J. Davant.
The most important change recom.
mended, perhaps, is that a depart
ment of finance and accounts be es
tablished, with a Comptroller lit
charge. It is not the intention to
have the office of City Treasure*
abolished, but to let him perform
merely the functions of a cashier
His office will be in addition to that
of Comptroller, to which official ho
will be responsible. Neither is it in

pastor of the church, will be the
teacher. The school is absolutely
free, and among the things taught is
bookkeeping, stenography, typewrit
ing, domestic science and a number of
other useful occupations. More than
one hundred were enrolled last term,
and it looks as if the enrollment will
be still larger next year.

GENERAL MELDRIM MAY
HEAD BAR ASSOCIATION
SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.—That Gen
eral Peter W. Meldrim, of Savannah,
will be elected the next president of
the American Bar Association at its
meeting on September 1 at Montreal,
Canada, is thought by many to be
very probable. For a number of years
General Meldrim has been regularly
attending the annual meetings of this
association, and he has been regard
ed for some time as one df Its most
prominent members.
in authority, and he will report di
rectly to the finance committee ol
Council.
The auditors recommend the crea
tion of a purchasing agent, who would
be at the head of the department ol
purchases and supplies. This official
would probably be directly under the
Mayor and the finance committee.
In the matter of the exhausted
cemetery funds, the auditors submil
a complete report. They show that
a fund was created for the purpose
of perpetuating the care of lots in
the cemeteries. Funds to the amount
of approximately $12,000 should be
on hand at this time, besides the in
terest that would have accrued dur
ing the years the fund has been in
existence. This trust fund, it is
claimed, was protected by ordinance,
but the auditors show that the se
curities—stocks, bonds and cash—
were diverted to the general treasury
and spent.
It is understood that former Mayor
George W. Tiedeman is to make a
statement in a few days explaining
what he knows about the cemetery
trust fund matter. Mr. Tiedeman has
called on Mayor Davant for certain
information.
The investigation covered only the
tenure of office of Mayor Tiedeman
and his administration.

Horse Wouldn’t Go
Doctor Calls on Other Man to Swap
Back, and He Says Was
Cheated Again.
ROME, GA., Aug 23.—Dr. W. A.
Wright’s fondness for automobiles
was the cause of trouble with A. W.
Williman, of Cave Spring, which re
sulted in the arrest of the latter on
a warrant charging him with cheat
ing and swindling.
Dr Wright has discovered that an
automobile, which looks as good as
new standing still, easily could be not
worth anything running. It Is alleged
that William traded an automobile to
the doctor which, after the deal, re
fused to move.
A horse and buggy was given in ex
change. When the physician, called
upon Filliman to trade back, he was
quite willing, hut had sold the horse.
He, however, agreed to give him an
other. This horse was defective, Dr.
Wright alleges. The case will be
aired in the September term of the
City Court.

BRUNSWICK, Aug. 23.—Brunswick
will have only one election this year,
which will take place in November,

doubtful if there will even be any op
position for the four Aldermanic
