OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH
CONVENES AT COLUMBIA
Special to Tho Georgian.
Columbia. Nov*. 6.—Columbia Ib en
tertaining tho great Episcopal Mla-
■lon&ry Conference, which begins to
day and continues till November 8. It
lx now certain that it will be the
largest gathering of the kind ever held
in the South.
It is estimated that there will be
between 850 and 600 bishops, clergy and
lay delegates in attendance. But these
do not* by any means, complete the^lst.
It Is more than probable that each
church of the department, whlali in
cludes South Carolina, Georgia, Flori
da. Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana.
Cuba and Puerto Rico, will send more
members.of the laity, just as visitors
ns general delegates, than It will
send full delegates.
One of tho 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 ttfTs has been
satisfactorily solved. There will be
meetings in Trinity and Good Shep
herd churches, in Craven Hall and in
the opera house.
The people of Columbia have, as is
customary with them, responded fully
and generously to the call of the com
mittee to help entertain the delegates.
Almost every* family has signified Uh
readiness to entertain one or more of
the visitor*.
In addition to this general hospitali
ty*, the Chamber of Commerce 1ms made
provision for a reception of the dele
gates at the state house on Wednesday
from 6 to 8 o'clock.
The large number of bishops and of
other men of the greatest prominence
In the Episcopal church will serve to
make this conference distinctive and
memorable. As there are to be such a
nuinlMT of Mshops preM iii, tli- com
mittf-»‘ h.n i arranged for a sp.-rlal bish
ops* session, which will be of unusual
interest, as each bishop will give a brief
survey of his diocese and Its needs and
opportunities.
The program for today Is as 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. Wilmer,
D. D., rector of St. Lukea church, At
lanta, Ga.
(b) "The American Episcopal Church
and Its Present and Future Work for
the Nation." Speaker, the Rt. Rev. C.
K. Nelson, D. D. r bishop of Georgia.

HOKE SMITH'S FIRM
PETITION FOR DEPOT
The romance and exciting doings of
the great West In Its early days, when
it was wild and woolly, and when
cowboya and Indians and things glo
ried In' each other's gore, have lost
none of their fascination as a msdlum
of entertainment.
People still like to see enacted on a
miniature prairie In front of a canvas
grandstand the lislr-ralslng episodes
whlct) have found another outlet In
the novels of th* “Ollle, the Outlaw,"
or "The Mon With the Silver Wind
pipe" variety.
The else of the crowds which wit
nessed both performances of the wild
West show, presented by Pawnee Blit
In Atlanta Monday, left no room for
doubting the popularity of the be-pls-
toled, broncho-bustin' life of the plains
of earlier days—the waving wheat-
fields of the present.
The sterotyped "thousands were
turned away” phraso of the press agent
found Itself In real llfa for both In the
afternoon and the evening enough peo
ple were disappointed by being unable
lo gain entrance to bave made a very
respectably tlxsd audience themselves.
And on the Inside, besides having
every seat Ailed, probably 2.000 people
stood up or sat cross-legged, pow-wow
fsshlon, around the ropes of the arena.
Major Gordon W. Lillie (that's Pawnee
Bill's civilised name) took In much
wampum In Atlanta;
1 The performance deserved the
crowds. It was a good show. If the
exhibition had been stripped of every
thing else—Its several sham 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 while In Itself.
The show waa all right, but the
crowd was too big and the smoke too
thick for the comfort of some of the
audience.

The disposition of everybody to plead
'not guilty" to a criminal chars- is of
course very strong,, but old offenders
have come to know that It Is expedient
to admit guilt where the preponderance
of evidence Is against them.
Johnnie Bonner, a negro woman op
trial for vagrancy In Judge Andy Cal
houn's court, let the desire -or freedom
get the better of discretion und allowed
her case to go to trial Tuesday. At
torney Bob Shropshire was appointed
by the court to defend the prisoner and
had thought that ho saw where he
might get her oft light nt least.
But when the clerk begnn to reel oft
the names of witnesses nnd had about
reached the eighth. Johnnie had a vis
ion of "the limit" nnd decided to change
her tactics. ...
•Good Lord! Judge. I plead guilty/
she blurted out nnd was let off with a
sentence of twelve months on the coun
ty works, the lightest Judge Calhoun
gives vagrants these days.

MALAR IANS FROM MALARIA
INTERESTED OLD DARKEY
One of the most interested specta
tors at the YYIId West parade yester
day was an old darkey accompanied by
a bevy of "chllluns." He carefully
scrutinised tho representatives of the
different races as they rode by, and
then told the children vrLo the riders
were.
"Dose am Mexicans,” said the old
fellow, as a squad of Cossacks passed.
“And ilesc fer sure am Krnbs," said the
children's guide as a number of Fili
pinos rods along.
When a. band of Arabs passed, the
old darkay looked at them for a mo
ment, and, -then, scratching his head,
said;
"Ah ain't quite sure des who dry Is,
but Ah reckon dey Is Malarlans."
The listener did not wait to hear
what the next squad might bo, fearing
the "darkey" would swear they were
consumptives.
