n joint debate In
another In Albany at a date between
July 7 and August 1. In the light of
the present wrangle In Rome the re
production of this Correspondence will
prove Interesting:
Mr. Smith's challenge to Mr. Howell
for the Rome and Albany debates was
i follows:
‘‘Hon. Clark Howell, City.—Dear Sir:
have an engagement to speak at
Rome on June 11. I Invite you to
meet me there at that time for a Joint
discussion.
If the time named conflicts with
your other engagements, I will agree
with you on any date between the 17th
and the 24th of June.
I also Invite you to meet me In Joint
dlacueslon at Albany, Oa.
‘‘I can agras with you on any data
between July 7 and August 1.
“I suggest that the same rules gov
ern these debates that governed the
Columbus debate, you to open and con
clude at ona of the meetlnga, and I to
do so at the other.
“Very truly yours,
(Signed) "HOKE SMITH.
•'June B, 1»0«,"
Mr. Howell's reply was as follows:
“Hon. Hoke Smith, 70S Peters build
lng. City.—Dear Sir: I have yours of
even date, and In reply beg to say that
I will be glad to meet you, both at
Rome end at Albany—at Roma on the
date Indicated by you, June 12, end at

you, July 7 and August 1.

It Is probable thnt If arrangements
are not perfected for the joint debate
that both candidates will speak In
Rome Saturday.
Tho Smith committee has decided
i the grove at the foot of Myrtle Hill
cemetery for their candidate, and 2
o’clock as the hour. If the Howell
committee determines to have Mr.
Howell there. Joint debate or no Joint

be selected for that meeting.

The young
was granted
Conference.
railroad worker who
license by Methodist
With an abiding faith that he Is di
vinely called to preach the gospel, yet
forced by circumstances to work every
day from B:J0 o'clock In the morning
until <:>0 o'clock at night, that ha
might assist in providing the ordinary
comforts of life for his father and
mother. Wesley Brlnafleld, a young
Methodist local preacher whose very
name breathes an Inborn spirit of
Methodism, was arraigned at the dis
trict conference of the Methodist
church mt the Walker Street school for
olatlng the Sabbath day.
Some said that Brother Brlnsfleld
was working on Sunday, that he might
make mors money. Yes, he was work
ing on Sunday that he might hold hla
position by which he Is enabled to ‘ '
■AAA*SPSARAMHBB#A**BI help
support his good father and mother,
Rev. and Mrs. Wesley W. Brlnsfleld,
of Banks county, Georgia. Was this
man of God violating tha Sabbath?
There was a difference of opinion
among the doctors of divinity.
"Draw the line on brlnsfleld,” said
many of the delegates Wednesday,
while others spoke In behalf of the
young man of blameless character.
"The Lord said we should remember
the Sabbath day to keep It holy, and
we muat draw the line somewhere,"
said one good brother, doubtlesa un
aware that at tho very moment he was
speaking the man whom he would deny
the privilege of preaching the goapel to
his fellows was busy at his dally task.
He was unable to absent htmself from
his work that he might participate In
the deliberations of the body that was
questioning his character.
Protects Agslnit Him.
Would those godly ministers draw the
line on Brlnsfleld? For a lime It seemed
that they would. Urgent speeches were
made by some who claimed that no
man of God would work on the Sabbath
day; others protested In behalf of tha
young man who for flvs years has bean
aligned with the Methodist church as a
local preacher, and whose record was
unmarred.
“We are bringing Into question the
character of this young man who la not
here to speak for himself. I move thst
wo defer action on his license until ho
esn come before this body end present
his side of this case.'' These words
from Hon. K. W. Martin, one of At
lanta's best knownt lawyers, and a lay
delegate to the conferences, touched
many of hts colleague, and they all
assented.
He Speaks for Himself.
Wesley Brlnsfleld wax to' have
chance to speak for himself. An hour
was appointed and ha waa on hand. Its
took but a few words to tell of his
church work of the past. year. The
religious seal that was ennbiln_
to deny himself to be able to help oth
era could not be mistaken. Ills high
motive was a sufficiency and his unen
Imous vindication was no surprise. Thi
picture of that mother and father de
voting their live* that they might up
lift the poor and aln-rldden In a small
Georgia village, with no thought of
their own comfort, was before many
of thoee delegates who knew Wesley
Brlnsfleld'a father.
Another picture was before their
eyes, too. Wesley Brlnsfleld, young
nnd strong, with a spirit of youth and
good health apparent In hla avary move'
inent, could be seen at hla work In the
railroad office, tolling away twelve
hours every day, yet with a light heart.
Sundays, too? Many times, but with
the same willingness on his part, and
tor the same cause.
Was It surprising thst this young
minister wss vindicated?
It wss a bright, manly face, Illumi
nated by a smile, thst wss noticed
moat when Wesley Brlnsfleld spoke.
The vote had just been taken and he
was happy. The privilege of preaching
had not been denied him. How happy
hts good mother nnd father would be,
could be read In his clear-cut count!'
n °TaH and slender, his face slightly
thinned by long hours In n r«Hr°«<l
office, neatly dressed, Brinsflelil chat
ted n few minutes with ths reporter,
though so modest that It was no easy
matter - to get him to tell of his work,
hts ambitions and his happiness at bo-
lng assured his license to preach.
•i Am Happy Now."
"I waa getting a little afraid when
I heard that my license would not bo
renewed, and thought I had better
come over and present my ease. I am
happy now, and can return to my work
In an easy state of mind. I try to do
all the good I can and, though I do
have to work on Sunday a good deal,
I have to do It to hold my position. I
would enter the regular ministry If I
did not have to help my father and
mother. As It Is, 1 cannot afford to let
them do without all the necessities of
life. If I could get a pastorate that
would pay me 1700 a year I would b#
the happiest man you ever saw, and I
would not hesitate to take It. But I
must hurry bsek to my work—''
Wesley Brlnsfleld lives st No. 101
Kennedy street. He has been In the
ministry five years and hopes some dsy
to have a regular pastorate charge. He
Is employed st the yard Office Of the
Western snd Atlantic railroad, whore
he works twelve hours every day.
When opportunity presents Itself he
preschea at several little missions and
on Bundaya always tries to arrange hla
work so he can attend all the church
services, and It Is few tHat ha misses.
May s minister In the Methodist
church work on Bunday without violat
ing the Babbath? The district confer
ence nt the Walker Street church de
cided that with n purpose like that
evinced by Wesley Brlnsfleld, the work
he does on the Babbath Is holy, and no
violation of tho Lord’s day.
