In the South. It Is estimated that there will be between 330 and 500 bishops, elergy and lay delegates In attendance. But these do not, by any means, complete the list. It Is more than probable that each church of the department, which In cludes South Carolina, Georgia, Flori da, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Cuba and Puerto Blco, will send more members of the tatty. Just as visitors or as general delegates, than It will send full delegates. One of the problems that the com mittee had to solve was the finding of halls large enough to hold with com fort the enormous gatherings at the various sessions. But this has been satisfactorily gplved. There will be meetings In Trinity and Good Shep herd churches, In Craven Hall and In the opera house. The people of Columbia have, os Is customary with them, responded fully and generously to the call at the com mittee to help entertain the delegates. The large number of bishops and of I other men of the greatest prominence [ In the Episcopal church will serve to make this conference distinctive and memorable. As there are to lc such n number of bishops present, the com mittee has arrangod for a special bish ops’ session, which will be of unusunl interest, as each bishop will give a brief survey of his diocese and its needs and opportunities. Tho program for today Is a* follows: Tuesday, November 6. Opening service In Trinity church. Short address of welcome by the bishop of the diocese and addresses upon: (a) “The American Episcopal Church and Its Place In the Life of the Na tion.” Speaker, the Rev. C. B. Wllmer, D.

(Speakers limited to twenty-flvo min utes.) , Good cheer and fellowship abounded Monday night at the annual meeting and banquet of the Transportation Club. The well kept rooms of the club nev.er looked better than Monday night when myriads of lights nnd the profu sion of roses gave the rooms a home like appearance to the members and their guests. In reviewing the work of the year. President John 1* Word spoke feel ingly on the death of a number of members, the only happening to mar a story of continued success. Mr. Word stated the new quarters and the splen did furnishings of the rooms have been conducive to Increasing the member ship. Secretary and Treasurer Healy stat ed that had h*en deposited In the bank, although a like sum had been expended for the thorough equipping of the rooms. . According to the secre tary’s report, 130 new members have been received lit tin The new library and tho ladle have proved popular additions. The courtesy nnd efficiency of Superintend ent Paul W. Spink, according to Mr. Healy, has contributed greatly to the success of the post year. Feast of Good Things. Following the business meeting, the members and their guests adjourned to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous repeat awaited their attention. One hundred nnd seventy-five members nnd friends discussed the menu until a late hour while Wurm’s orchestra furnished a muslcnl program. After a thorough discussion of the good tilings.

PA WNEE BILL HEAP GOOD! NOT ROOM FOR BIG CROWD The romance and exciting doings of the great West In It, early days, when It was wild and woolly, and when cowboys and Indians and things glo ried In each other’s gore, hare lost none of their fascination ns a medium of entertainment. People still like 8o see enacted on a miniature prairie in front of a canvas grandstand the hair-raising episodes which have found another outlet hi the novels of the "Ollle, the Outlaw." or "The Man With the Silver Wind pipe” vprlety. The slxe of the crowd, which wit nessed both performances of the wild West show, presented by PaWnee Bill In Atlanta Monday, left no room for doubting th, popularity of the be-p|s- toled, broncho-bustin’ llfo of the plains earlier days—the waving wheat- fields of the present. The sterotyped "thousands were turned away” phrase of the press agent found itself In real life, for both In the afternoon and the evening enough peo ple were disappointed by being unable to gain entrance to have made a very respectably slsed audience themselves. And on the Inside, besides having every seat filled, probably 8,000 people stood up or sat cross-legged, powwow fashion, around the ropes of the arena. Major Gordon W.’Lillie (that's Pawnes Bill's civilised name) took In much wampum in Atlanta. The performance deserved the crowds. It was a good show. If the exhibition had been stripped of every thing else—Its several shim battles' between Indians and cowboys, crack shooting, acrobatic stunts, the buffalo hunt and the like—the expert horse manship of some of the show people would have been worth whll* In itself. The show was all right, but the crowd was too big and tho smoke too thick for trie comfort of some of the audience. ' Smith, Berner, Bmlth & Hastings filed a petition with the railroad com mission Tuesday morning tor a new depot at Lanier, Bryan county, on the Seaboard Air Line. The petition was filed with Colonel Robert L. Bertier. This Is the first case of the kind brought before the comints slon by the law firm of Governor-elect Hoke Smith since his election.
