wEsLEY's ANNIVERSARY.
It's Sunday School Twenty-Five Years
Old YesterdaY

Wesley Monumental Sunday school
celebrated its 25th anniversary
last night at the church, presenting a
beautiful and well prepared programme.
The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, palms and large bouquets
of flowers being prOfusely and prettily ar
ranged around the pulpit. In the center
Just in front of the aisle was
a large cross of white flowers work.
ed in evergreens, while on either
side was beautiful memorial piece to
two of the scholars who died during
the past year. On the left was a beauti-
full representation of a harp worked in
white flowers with the initial "A"
worzen in violets. It was a memorial to
Miss Annie Adams, and the other was an
anchor of white flowers inmemory of Miss
Matte Cressler. Both these designs were
prepared by the children and teachers of
the Sunday school.
The greater part of the programme
consisted in singing, for which Wesley's
Sunday school is famous Among
were 1.-THE Battle March" Our
Festal Day" eve Shall Stand Before
the King" "Praise the Lord, We
Heavens, +" Gland Ahead" Sunshine in
the Soul Jesus is Passing By and good
night. The music was beautifully lead
by Mr. w d. Thomas, the director, with
Miss Weekes as organist.
The address of welcome was well de-
Iivered by Eddie Manucy. Among other
features of the programme was recita-
tion by small children, song by the in
FAINT class, recitation, "The Church and
the World" by Lille Manucy, and a
recitation by fourteen girls arranged in
the form of a cross, entitled 1.-The Mis-
sion of the Flowers" which was one of
the most beautiful features.
The pastor made a short but very i'm
prcssive and interesting talk to the Sun
day school children, as well as to the
teachers, urging upon them the impor-
lance of their attention to duty and the
work they had before them.
The report of Supt w. B. Stubs
showed that the average attendance
during the past year has been 1919,
or SO per cent. Of the number enrolled
The Sunday school has thirty teachers
and 300 scholars enrolled. The annual
contribution has been $21S so, or an aver
age Of S. Al each Sabbath. Thanks were
rendered to Mr.. r. b. Reppard who
kindly assisted in the work during the
illness of the superintendent.
There was a large attendance at the
anniversary, the entire church being
filled A noteworthy feature of the occa-
sion was that the Independent Presby-
terrain Sunday school attended the exer-
cises in a body. The annual picnic of
Wesley Sunday school takes place to-
morrow and ali children belonging to the
Sunday school win be taken out to Mont
gomery free. Refreshments and amuse-
ments are to be provided and it is to be
made gala day for the children

1srHE STANDARD REspoNs1B1Ep
Rumor Says 1t Urged Mr.. Plant Not
to Put Up the Turpentine Tanks.

hunor says 1t urged Mr.. Plant Not
to Put Up the Turpentine Tanks.
Learning that Mr. Plant had refused to
put up the turpentine tanks on the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western wharvcs
asked for by the naval stores men, iu-
quiry was made yesterday as to the prob
able cause of his refusal.
1t was found that the rumor was going
the rounds that the Standard Oil Com
pany was to a great extent responsible
for his refusal.
1t is well known that in some instances
those largely interested in the Standard
Oil Company are largely interested in the
Plant system. 1t is also well known that
the tanks, if put up, would be TO certain
extent competitor of the Standard Oil
Companys turpentine business here, so it
was easy enough to put two and two to-
gether and deduce the probability at
least that the Standard Oil Company is
III some way mixed up in the matter.
Besides, the actions of the Standard Oil
Company in the naval stores market have
been growing more and more mysterious
during the last few days, and it is known
That they are at present buying no
tlupentine at all in this market What
their designs are is pulling more than

Sandersville, Ca, May 24.-Eight
wooden stores on the north side of the
square were burned last night The alarm
was given at 12 O'Clock and the buildings
were all in ashes within an hour. The
fire originated in the rear of a building

Nothing was saved from Jcrnigan Il Sons,

companies would not take the risk The
total loss is from $4,000 to $4,000. The

dwellings were endangered The first
three are brick The bucket brigade
worked hard to protect these buildings
from the encroachment of the flames
There was but little wind
and some of the buildings were protected
partly by shade trees which fortunately
prevented the fire from being more dis
to be built in the burned district, which
includes one-half of the north side of the

the fire was accidental or the work of an

A PoL1oEmAN,s LIVELY FIGHT
A Young Man Under Arrest Tries to

a young Man Under Arrest Tries to
Down an officer.
Two young men, Johnson and Lopez
engaged in a fight on Broughton street
yesterday afternoon about the Savannah
Nashville ball game. Policeman Scully
arrested them, but Johnson resisted saw
agely and the policeman was compelled to
call on bystanders for assistance Con
stable Quinley and ex-Policeman Sam
Davis responded and helped carry the
prisoners to the box at Bull and Brough-
ton streets.
Here johnson again assaulted Police
man Scully and tried to tear his clothes
off. The policeman showed great patience
and endeavored to subdue his prisoner
without violence. While tussling with
him a gentleman who had just arrived on
the scene and probably was not aware of
the circumstances of the ease began to
protest vigorously with the policeman
and threatened to report him for i'll treat
ing prisoner. johnson heard the pro
tests and resisted more desperately than
ever and was giving him a lively fight
when Assistant Chief Reilly and Detective
Hanley took a hand. 1t required the
combined efforts of the three officers to
compel su bmission on the part of John
son, and they had to throw him down be-
fore succeeding
The affair created a great deal of eX-
cltement and attracted a big crowd.
Everybody but the gentleman who had
entered the protest agreed that Police
man Scully had been very patient with
his obstreperous prisoner. The pro-
tester was put on the information docket
for interfering with officers.

series here to-day before 900 people, and
Savannah won by score of to 4. Box
ingdale pitched for the locals, and his
wildness and general bad work was the
cause of Nashvilles defeat. Meakim
pitched fairly good game for the Wis
itors, which was well supported in the
Quilted. The game was long and tire
some one, and neither side seemed to
have the vim and so which is necessary
to first-class and interesting game Of
ball. Sullivan had his new man, Hines,
in center, and he did fairly well Some
of the other members of his team were
changed from their old positions and
were consequently more or less handi-
capped. Umpire Foster continued to give
dissatisfaction to both sides.
