METHODIsFs IN CONFERENCE.
The Savannah District Conference
in Session.


The Savannah district conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, con-
vened in Marvin church, on West Broad
street, last night. 1t was constituted with
devotional exercises. The opening hymn,
MY Faith Looks Up to Thee" was fol-
lowed by Rev. w. A. Gambler, d. d. The
scriptural lesson from ST. Matthew, xvi
was read by DR.. Gambler, who also
preached the opening sermon from the
text st. Matthew xvi, 17:1S. After the
sermon the hymn, Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" was sung, and the closing prayer
was offered by Rev. J. W. Hinton, D. d.
DR.. Gamblers sermon was marked by
great emotional power by profound
thought, by a graceful and popular style
and an easy, but effective delivery DR.
Gambler needs no introduction to any
southern audience. His fame as a scholar
a preacher, man of great intellect and
versatility II too well known to need any
comment. His subject was: 1.-The Super
natural Revelation of Divine Truth the
Basis of the Church of God" He empha-
sized the idea that it is personal, spiritual
experience rather than intellectual fire.
works than abstract theories, or external
organizations, upon which the church is
to rely for strength.
Great interest was manifested by large
and appreciative audience, and a deep i'm
preston seemed to be made by the address
upon the minds of all present.
An interesting feature of the opening
exercises of the conference was the de-
livery by DR.. Gambler to the graduates
of the Wesley Monumental Sunday school
Normal Institute the diplomas of gradu-
alton in their course. The scholars thus
honored were Frank Leyle, Miss Stella
Englerth, Miss Stella Pease, l. Row
lands, Miss Amelia Kirete, Miss Julia p
Sloner Certificates in the method sec
ton, Miss Susie Shea DR.. Gambler re-
marked that in order to teach well. that
one should know what to teach and how
to teach it. Many instructors, he said
do no more than commit an assault with
attempt to teach. He observed that nany
teachers, like a certain circuit judge. who
came under criticism of Gen Tombs'
scathing tongue, are excellently fitted to
shed darkness upon a subject
Before dismissing the meeting DR.. Hin
ton urged the Methodists to attend the re-
ligious meetings of the conference. ana
ne cordially invited them to attend jts
business deliberations. The conferences
then adjourned until this morning at $50
o clock. To-day there win be PREACHING
at II O'Clock and in the evening besides
the regular organization and order of pro-
cedure observed in Methodist district con.
ferences.

THE OGEEcHEE ROAD FINISHED.
Completed From the city Limits to
the Seven-MiIe Post.


the Seven-MiIe Post.
The work on the Ogeechee road, from
the city limits TO the 7-mile post, has been
completed. and gives Chatham county one
of the best paved and most satisfactory
roads in the country. The hands are now
engaged in cleaning up the little debris
OF the paving material along the road and
next week they will quit the road to start
work elsewhere.
This work has cost the county about
5000 a mile, and there are just about five
and quarter miles of it. Commissioner
w. F. Chaplin. chairman of the commit
tee on roads and bridges is Justly proud
OF the work that has been done He has
taken every step to have IL done as eco
nomlcally as possible, and at the same
time 10 get solid, substantial material and
work. He does not believe the work could
De done any cheaper, and if there is any
one who can build roads like this for 81 500
per mile, as has been stated. he is ready
70 make contract with them to build
sixteen or seventeen miles, as the county
mas enough money TO build II at that rate
Mr. Chaplin has gone over the roads
and bridges account for the last twelve
years. From 1884 up to 1895 he saws
$4,000 was spent on roads and bridges
and not mile of macadamized road was
built. In 1925 $500 was spent and the
lalter part OF that year and in 1896 $25,0OO
this amount having been used in paving
the Ogeechee road. The county budget
for the ensuing fiscal year, which was
recently approved by the grand Jury of
the superior court, carries with il an
appropriation of $4,000 for roads and
bridges work, and most of this will be
used in continuing the paving.
As soon as the county hands finish up
the odds. and ends on the Ogeechee road
they will begin work on the Bay street
extension, and then the Augusta road
This will be about the first of next week
The material for paving this road has
already been contracted for, and the
work will be completed some time be-
fore the end of the present year. The
Augusta road will be paved out to the
Dundee canal, a distance of about four
and a half miles. Arrangements will
probably be made later to pave this road
still further out.
Commissioner Chaplin says there is no
question that the broken stone makes the
best pavement of any of the materials
that have been tried on the Ogeechee
road, and that material will, in all prob
ability, be used exclusively hereafter
With a surface of the Augusta gravel
considerable of which has already been
used to advantage, a road as smooth as
an asphalt pavement can easily be Sc
cured and maintained at very little cost
The work of road paving will undoubted-
ly be kept up right along until the county
has good servieeable roads in every di-
rectiOn.

MCKINLEY DECLINES
An Invitation to be Present at a Club
Dinner at Cincinnati.

CANTON (OD, Nov. Ga delegation
Of prominent Cincinnati men came to
Canton late this afternoon to invite Ma
jor Mckinley to be present at the an
nual dinner of the Commercial Club of
Cincinnati on the 18th of November.
Major Mckinley received his visitors
N the library, and after they were COM
fortably seated Lars Anderson, the
spokesman, addressed some remarks to
Major Mckinley and urged him strong
ly to visit Cincinnati
Major Mckinley thanked his callers
heartily for the compliment of their
visit and for the invitation they bore.
He assured them it would give him
great pleasure to go to Cincinnati, but
that he had considered the matter of
visiting large cities pretty carefully,
and had decided that with the excep-
tions of the brief period he is to spend
in Cleveland he will not leave Canton
until he goes to Washington.
Major Mckinley explained that some
of his Chicago friends had urged him
with great vehemence to visit their city,
and said that G. n. Bliss and others
were coming out to ask him to visit
New York. He said if he went to Gin
cinnati he WOULD also have to go to the
other places. and he would therefore
be compelled to decline the invitation
Mr.. Mckinley feels that he has a vast
amount of labor to perform before the
4th of March, and he does not want
to waste time and strength in visiting.
Unless the health of Mrs Mckinley
should demand a change of air, he will
adhere to his determination to remain
in Canton now as rigidly as he did
before the election.
