METHODIsT CAMP MEETINGS.
4 Movement on Foot to Hold Them
in south Georgia.

in s0utn GeOfSi0.
Waycross, Ca, Nov 2.-The question of
establishing camp meeting tabernacle
within the bounds of the South Georgia
Methodist conferences is noN' being agi-
tated for the second time during the past
few years. and it is most like
IL that the matter will be de-
cided in it's favor. Should this be done
the old-tlme camp meeting, which used
to be an important feature of the Metho-
dist church in Georgia, would be revived.
In former years the camp meeting
ground was in some quiet community,
near some spring, brock or river, where
the people gathered their families into
tents during the summer revival season.
The older people will remember the old
camp meeting days, and they tell of many
happy hours and of numerous ludicrous
incidents connected with them. Sometimes
the meetings lasted two or three months.
They invariably resulted in many con-
versions. The preachers were of the old
school of Methodism. Their fiery elo-
Quence, their strong denunciations of the
sinner and their lurid pictures of hell
caused the sinners TO quake and cry aloud
for mercy. The Christians would shout
continually and sometimes the women
fainted from sheer exhaustion.

six months from continuous duty at the

May ! to- Nov. l, and after that time the
surgeon in charge can come and go as
he desires. DR.. Burford has had complete
control of this station since il first passed
into the hands of the national govern
ment previous to which he was a local
practicing physician of high repute Dur
ing his administration several very i'm
portant matters have been passed upon
by him, and in each instance hts
decision has always been sustained by
the department at Washington, one of
the most important of these was the ad-
mittance of passengers from Venezuela
without detention. for the exposition.
The local authorities referred the cues
ton to the surgeon general, but in the
meantime the local surgeon heard of
what was going on and issued his ulti-
matum, based on the law governing such
cases. His remarks We're published in

C0NRAD's STEEL SAWS.
A Strong Suspicion That They Were
FurPiFbed by His Sister.

n
Waycross, Ga. Nov. 2.-sherim MiHer's
discovery of tools and a revolver Thurs
day in Conrad's cell at the county jail
revealed the plan of Conrad's prospective
daring break for liberty, which would
probably have resulted in the freeing of
the jail of all it's prisoners. The discov-
cry was at first surrounded with mystery,
and IL was not thought that a solution OF
the plot would be obtained at once. This,
however, was a wrong impression. The
mystery has been cleared.
The sister of Emerson b. Conrad, the
young man who is in jail for passing a
spurious check on the not-in-eXistence
firm of the Brooklyn Cutlery Company,
for $50 at the Bank of Waycross last sum-
mer, arrived on Saturday and paid daily
visits 10 him until Wednesday, when she
left, ostenslbly for Albany to settle a
Conrad -aaidbi aEhe would return
on Thursday ~ but this little
ruse was a part Of her plans, and she
has not appeared. Her mysterious disap-
pearance just the day before the tools were
found in Conrads cell has led to the inn
preston that she furnished her brother
with the tools and the revolver, and, then,
believing that her plans would succeed,
left the city. Miss Conrad was young and
pretty and she appeared TO be refined and
highly educated. Sheriff Miller is inclined
to believe that Miss Conrad furnished her
| brother with the means for his escape.
He is of the opinion that she was sure
believes that she left for some unknown
place. where Conrad was to join her after
regaining his freedom. The Even
ing Herald is not so certain
that Conrad's fair young visitor was his
sister, but intimates that she is his sweet
heart and accomplish ian his crimes.
The Herald plainly charges Miss Con-
rad, or whoever the young lady is, with

escape Sheriff Miller said this .moening
