THE ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP

was read on Friday the Sd day of the SEES
sion and created q profound impression
upon all who heard it. 1t spoke OF the
history of the church during the past four
wears, the results Of it's labors, shows the
progress that has been made, dwclls upon
the general conditions and relations OF the
church and makes valuable suggestions
as to the future. This is an exceedingly
interesting document and will doubtless
be widely printed in full both in our reli-
gious journals, and in the regular press.
From the address we naturally pass to a
word or two about III Bishops. Bishop
Pain is the senior Bishop, was born IN
North Carolina, and became a Methodist
early in life. At the age OF ~ he was
admitted to the Tennessee Conference.
After the separation Of the church South
from North, he was takon from the Pres
idency Of LaGrange College in Ala, and
made a Bishop in South Carolina. We are
so familiar with the life of Wrightlnan
that l shall contine my remarks to his as
sociates. Bishop DogSitt was born III Vlr-
ginia in 1910. He too entered the State
Conference at 10 and was chosen Bishop
at the General Conference of 1866. Bishop
Mc1'vicrc is also Il South Carolinian. He
Joined the church ut IL years OF age and
was licensed to preach in 1914 while yet at
College. lie was elected Bishop in 1866,
being the youngest Bishop of the church.
Kentucky furnishes Bishop K~avanaugh,
who was born in 1SO2. He Joined the
church at lG and began to preach at FL,
and was chosen Bishop in 1854. Bishop
Keencr is from Georgia-was born IN ISL
and elected Bishop III 1852. He too ioined
the church in early youth, and this fact
stands out with it's great lesson in the
lives of all our Bishops. All of them,
without exception joined the church il
their youth, and their great piety n
honored position i'll the church Militant,
come from an early conservation ana
life time labor.
The General Conference will probably
be in session Il month.

Editors Press and Banner:
7 promise to give you a few lines from
the "Gate City"
Located upon the dividing ridge be-
tween the waters of the Atlantic and
those flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.
Atlanta enjoys an altitude Of 1850 feet
Naboyc the sea level. The site was cho-
sen with n Wow to its accessibility by
railroad lines ronvcrging from the vari-
ous sections of the State to meet a rail
road line from the great West; of this
line from the West Atlanta was made the
Eastern or Georgia terminus, and the
work began. In ten or twelve years the
road to Chattanooga and the roads from
middle and Southern Georgia were COM
pletcd and then
ATLANTA LEAPED FORWARD
with that rapidity of growth which is
only na~allcllcd in the history Of some OF
orr Western cities. In 1S45 a village OF
q dozen families. tn 1861, at the begin
ming of the wal Atlanta numbered q pop
u,ation of fifteen thousand souls. Utter

its ashes, until now it embraces within

five great railroads reaching out in every

in &c hours or a day and q nay. rms is
but an illustration Of the enterprise
which pervades every business and IN
dustrv. and is the characteristic OF every
class of the population. industrial, mer-
camille and professional.
The accessibility of Atlanta, and its
prominence as n great centre of progress
have combined tn make it the most pop
ular of all places in the South for the as
somblare of general conventions. l
should also have added that the hospitali-
ty of the people is also q large c0ntrlbu-
tor of this result, for wherever the enter
prise of this city has been heralded thcrc
also is known the story of its hberallty
and kindness to strangers. But recently
the international Sunday School Conven
ton assembled nearly fve hundred dcte-
1ntcs, and vet they were cared for ana en-
tertained by the citizens; and now the
General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, is in SEES
sion, and it's three hundred members
have been provided with homes. AS de-
tailed accounts cf the proceedings OF the
conference have doubtless reached your
readers through publication in the local
press, I will confine myself to 4 general
glance at the work to be done, ana at
the p~ersonelle of the body.
AS you are aware this Conference
meets only quadrennially and is the
great law-making body of the Methodist
chuch. The present session was maze
still more interesting from the fact thai a
part of its work is the election OF u or
more bishops. At 10 o'clock, May ISL the

A Prison-Keeper's Crimes.

The warden of the.Io penitentiary proves
conclusvely that the prison is not u rcforma-
tory or even a preventive institution. He has
just been detected in crime which will prob
ably cause him to exchange the position of chief
keeper to that of chief convict. A committee
has been investigating the prison. and reports
that S. IL. Craig, the warden has connivcd
with divers persons in deirauding the State.
Thousands of dollars have been paid by tho
State for merchandise never delivered, and for
repairs never made. Craig made private con-
tracts whereby tho State lost large sums Of
money, not less than half Of which went into
Craig's pocket. lie cOnuved with dealers to
include the private accounts Of his own and
the families of his clerk aud deputy in tho
State account, all of which the State paid, and
he sent large quantities of goods to his farm at
Farragut, where he kept large number Of
horses and cows aud $50 hogs at the expense Of
the State. In fact, he stole wherever he had .
chance, which was in pretty nearly every direc-
ton. The commissioners say their report gives
only glimpse Of the frauds of Craig, his deputy.
Reynolds, and clerk, Smith, MS the witnesses
have destroyed or hid their books or fled to
the country with them. Four months alter
Craig took the office he began system of lar
ceny and plunder, which he continued up tho
day he was deposcd.
