LIKELY TO ADJOURN MONDAY.
The Announcements the Last BUSH
ness of the Conference.

The Announcements the Last BUSH
ness of the Conference.
The members of the conference say its
work has progressed well, and that they
anticipate no reason why it should not be
ready for adjournment by Monday night.
There is NJ fixed time for the continual
ton of the sessions. The conference al
ways sits until all business has received
its attention.
Up to this time there have been NUM-
Der of talks made by distinguished attend
ants upon the conference. While the
members have enjoyed the addresses and
have been more than delighted to have
the visitors with them, time has been con
sumed, though pleasantly. Estimates vary
as to whether more than the usual amount
of time has been taken up by these
speeches, though the consensus seems to
be that they have required more than is
usually the case The actual business
has been transacted with dispatch how
ever, and the conference is well up with it,.
The bishop and his cabinet are still busted
with the consideration of the appoint
ments for the ensuing year. Meetings are
being held for the settlement of these all
important matters. None of the preachers,
it is said, are getting an mixing of where
they will be sent. The mandate of the
cabinet is like the fiat of fate, and forth
they must go to the work to which they
are directed, whether or not the prospect
may be pleasing to them.
One of the most interesting features of
the ireSconference is found in an in
spection Of the proceedings of the closing
session. 1t is then that the appointments
are read. The announcements come slow
ly, and the visitor to the. session has every
opportunity afforded for a narrow scrutiny
of the anxious and expectant look of the
ministers as they wait to hear their fate.
| While it is a laudable thing for the
preachers TO possess that resignation and
acceptance of the ruling of the cabinet
that is enjoined upon them, to the laymen
it seems impossible that they should not
be greatly moved by the consideration
whether they are to get a city station,
with a salary competent to satisfy every
need or to be consigned TO the small re-
muneration of an obscure country charge.
The faces of the listening preachers as
they try to catch their names as they fan
from the lips of the bishop show that they
are not wholly dead to these things, and
that the stations they are TO be given pos
sess a world of interest for them. The
announcements are made at the close of
the last session.

MISSIONS ANNIVERSARY.
wesley Church Crowded at Last
Nights Services.


The missionary anniversary of the con-
ference last night was attended by prob
ably the largest congrega ton that has yet
been had. The anniversary services were
under the direction of the board of mis-
sions.
The devotional part of the service was
conducted by Rev. w. e. Mumford, super
intendent of the Orphans Home at Ma
con. Rev. G.. G. n. MacDonell president
of the board of missions, announced the
reports. He stated that the occasion
would bring forth the reports of both the
home and foreign mission work of the
conference.
The first report was that of the board Of
missions. This was rendered by the secre-
tary, Rev. p. S. Twitty, presiding elder
of the Waycross district. This report COW
cred the work that was done by the
board at its meeting last Tuesday. 1t
showed that there were forty-seVen mis-
sions under the direction of the board. and
that the preachers in charge of them had
done good work during the year.
Rev. +. A. Branch, presiding elder OF
the South Macon district. and treasurer
of the board of missions, rendered his
report. This showed that Sc, Sc has been
received from the districts during the year
for domestic missions, and that the
amounts from other sources runs the total
to S. 3d. This was announced to be
same purposes last year and to be about
TIN per cent. of the entire appropriation.
This percentage was better than that OF
the year before.
The report of the treasurer of the for
eign mission fund, Rev. T.. +. Cook, an
nouncd that more than 81, 900 had been
received from the districts during the
year. The amount was stated to be S274 in
excess Of that received the year before.
The report of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society was also rendered. This
had been sent in by the secretary, Mrs. J.
B. Cobb of Macon. 1t indicated the work
that has been done by the society, giving
the stations that are maintained by ii
abroad, the schools 1t has established, and
the teachers and helpers 1T supports.
The president of the board announced
that the total of the money received for
missionary purposes by the conference is
more than 1900.
The address of the evening was delivered
by ReY. DIR. II. c. Morrison, missionary Sc
cretary of the church His talk was full
Of interest and was greatly enjoyed.

QUESTION 20 CALLED AGAIN.
Preachers Characters Passed Upon
by the RishOp.


The twentieth question of the discipline
was again taken up. 1t was under this
head that the sensation of the confer
ence was sprung on the first day by DR..
McGehee 1t was not expected that any
additional ones would be let loose by the
announcements of the rest of the names,
and the event showed that, in so far as
the list was called, that there was nothing
against the character of the preachers in
the private lives or official administrations.
As the names were called by the bishop
the presiding elders of the Savannah and
North Macon districts, which were the
two that were gone through with, answer
ed for the blameless lives of the preach
ers under them. The latter then gave
some report of their work, and their char
acters were passed upon by the bishop.
Mr.. r. B. Reppard announced the ar
engagements for the Tybee trip, and, after
a few more announcements, the conference
adjourned, with the singing of hymn and
the pronunciation of the benediction by
Rev. Thomas of the superannuated list.
A meeting of the joint board Of finance
of the conference was held last night at
Z O'clock This committee has much inn
portant work to do during a session. Upon
the adjournment of the morning meeting
the committee on public worship assem-
bled to map out the services for to-day
The regular business meeting will be held
this morning at 8 o'clock. A business ses-
sion will also be called, it is thought
for this afternoon. The Epworth
League meeting will be held tonight
at the church. DR.. S. A. Steele, general
secretary of the league, will deliver his
lecture on Pioneers of Methodism." This
lecture is said to be very fine and mem
bers of the conference are anticipating a
treat.
Dr. David Morton, general secretary of
the church extension board, is expected
here to-day. He win be asked to address
the conference this morning.
The newly elected deacons and elders
of the church will be ordained tomorrow
the deacons at the morning and the elders
at the evening service. The ceremony Of
ordination will be performed by Bishop
Key.
Rev. DR.. C. E. Bowman has announced
that he will be ready to distribute to the
members of the conference copies of a
pamphlet on "Denominational Colleges VS..
the State University" The paper was writ
ten by Rev. Dr. John D. Hammond, presl-
dent of Wesleyan Female College.

PItEA CHEERS AT THE BEACH.
They Made Game of Roasted oysters
at Tybee.

They Made Game of Roasted Oysters
at Tybee.
The preachers trip to Tybee in the after
noon is an event they will long remember.
All of them reported having had a delight
full time. The gentle zephyrs of the ocean
blew with just the right velocity and
warmth, the luscious oysters offered them
selves to the clerical palates in ample pro-
fusion, and the trains ran conveniently and
on time. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of the day.
The members of the conference left the
church at l o'clock and proceeded at once
to Liberty street, where cars were taken
for the depot Two trips were necessary
to get all the crowd to the station. Some
of the preachers preferred walking, and,
as they had plenty of time that plan was
taken. The train left the station at 2
o'clock.
There was even a larger crowd aboard
than had been anticipated. Ii numbered
395, as the tickets taken up by Superin-
tendent Clement Saussy, who was in
charge, showed. OF this number 255 were
delegates to the conference. The commit
tee on the entertainment of the visiting
delegates was largely represented, there
being thirty-fiVe, ladies and gentlemen,
who accompanied the preachers. There
were eighty-five who went down with
the visitors on tickets purchased. Thir-
teen cars were used, the service was ex-
cellant, and the officials of the road have
the gratitude of the preachers for the
courtesy extended them.
The special feature of the trip was the
oyster roast. This was something new to
the vast majority of the preachers They
are of an investigating turn of mind,
however and they soon learned how the
bivalves are cooked There was another
lesson in store for them, and this was the
mastery of that simple twist of the wrist
that lays open the shell and discloses the
fat occupant in all the seductiveness that
makes him the most popular product of
the months of RS"
Those to the manner born derived CON
siderable amusement from observing the
movements of the prentice hands They
were always ready TO instruct in the art
however, and it was not long before the
preachers from the lands where the wire.

oysters with as much celebrity as the sea

HOLIDAY TRADE OPENING UP.
Merchants Have Busy Three |
Weeks Ahead.

buSy
Weeks Ahead.
The holiday trade has begun, but it will
not reach it's highest notch for ten days.
The merchants are all in readiness, with
but few exceptions and an unusually ac-
tive season is expected.
1t was hoped by the Merchants Associa-
ton to arrange excursions and facilitate
business by bringing out-of-town buyers
to Savannah but the plan was abandoned
because it was suggested too late. Besides,
the merchants have a gala week in April,
which is to be celebrated this year in con-
nection with. the Travellers Protective As
sociations convention.
The mercantile agencies report encour-
aging prospects for the holidays. They
say collections, while they are no better
than last year, are equally as good. The
volume of business has been better for
the last three months than during the
same time last year. This fact is con-
sidered rather strange, in view of the low
prices now paid for cotton.
Because of the reduced price, which is
now cents. many farmers are holding up
for higher prices. In view of the fact that
considerable money is placed in circula-
ton by the sale of this commodity, direct
ly and indirectly, it is thought it may
seriously affect holiday business. How
ever, this reserving is thought by some to
amount to little, and It has not yet man
ifested itself.
Already holiday preparations are being
made and all the, stores will have holiday
decorations in their show windows very
soon. Later on they will keep open even
ings, but none have yet decided when they
will begin this. 1t is understood that most
of the retail stores on Broughton street
will keep open evenings, commencing
about Dec. 15

making all the arrangements for the trip,
was master of ceremonies, and he acquit-
ted himself nobly of the arduous duties Of
that position. He told the company at
the tables that they would be greatly edi-
fed after they were through with their
attacks upOn the good things before them
by addresses in the pavilion by Dr. War
rem Gambler. DIR. Hoss, DIR. Steele and Dr..
Hinton. Some OF those gentlemen con -
cluded that they had had enough of
speech-making or would have before they
are through with the confer.
ence, and they put out up the
beach Immediately after the ad-
journment from the tables. They say that
DR.. Gambler and DR.. Hoss went way up TO
the south end of the beach and played in
the sand together until DR. Hoss got tired.
He wanted to go back to school then and
say his speech like a little man. DIR. Cand-
Ter tried to get him not to do it, but Or.
Hoss insisted that he was going 10 do It
anyhow. So he went back and talked to
the crowd very happily, but DR.. Gambler
did not show up until it was time for the
train to start.
1t was then too late for him to tell the
preachers any of that wonderful store of
good stories and rich anecdotes he always
carries in his mind.
DIR. Steele and DR.. Hinton entertained
the crowd in fine style. Everybody form
ed a ring in the pavilion Mr.. Reppard
was the ring master. He cracked his
jokes and afforded as muC1 amusement
as anyone. When it came DR.. Hinton s
turn to be heard from. he marched to the
center of the ring with all that dignity he
can so well show, calmly deposited his
high beaver on the floor. laid his cane
across it, and gave himself up to the I'M
qualified entertainment of his hearers for
a few minutes.
The preachers were on the island for
about two hours. They got back TO the
city at $50 o'clock.
