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.

Joint debate or no Joint debate, the opera house will probably be selected for that meeting. MRS. DONALD McLEAN. Photo ky J. N. KUHNS. WESLEY BRIN8FIELD. 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.

In order to attract the attention of neighbors and bring aaslstance, Mrs. Davis flred a revolver three tlrr\e* from a second-story window, at which the burglar bolted from the house.
