North Georgia Methodist Conference Con-
dennis Their Course.
AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 80 AT the
session of the North Georgia M. e
Conference here to-day the follow
ing resolution was passed:
|. That we commend the action of
the Bishops looking to the return of
the money to the United States, and
express the hope that it will be done
as soon as possible.
2. That we request, and as far as
our authority extends, demand the
immediate resignation of the book
agents. The continuation of their
imprimature on our publications
would be very detrimental to the
publishing house and would not
properly represent our church.
3. That the Book Committee
should at once be so organized as to
free the church from official action
of those members of it who cOndon-
ed the conduct of our book agents in
this matter.

Mrs. Benson, with her husband
and 6-year old daughter, lives near
B lrron, Wisconsin. When the for
est fire recently swept down upon
that place the husband was in Min
noapolis and the wife was alone with
her child on little farm four miles
away from town. Seeing the APP
proach of the flames and recognizing
the impossibility of flight, this lone
ly woman went to work to save the
life of her daughter and herself. Her
GOODNESS did not desert her. She
ploughed burrows about the house,
and when the roaring onslaught of
flame leaped these as hunters
horse would leap hedge, she bu-
ried the child in potato match,
where there was but little fuel for
the flames, and lying down beside
her, tossed a water soaked cloak
around them both. They were found
terribly burned, but in condition
that gives hope of perfect recovery.

THE SOLDIERS ARE
HERE IN FORCE.
Remaining Members ofthe
Mississippi Regiments
IN Tue CITY MONDAY.
They Will Perhaps BE Mustered Out by
December 2O.-The Boys Have Been
Having an AII-Around Good Time.

Columbia now has a military en-
campment, sure enough. The re-
naming members of the two Missis-
sippi regiments, who had been out
on furloughs, arrived Monday morn
ing on six special trains, their fur
lOughs having expired on that day.
The two entire regiments, consisting
of about 900 men. are now quar-
tered at Camp Hamilton, the Fair
grounds being literally covered With
the white tents.
The day was an exceedingly bad
one for the arrival of the soldiers,
the weather being cold and rainy,
and the sudden change of climatic,
conditions made it ali the more dis
agreeable for them. Some of the
men were unprepared to meet such
weather. and as they had been en-
Toying the surroundings of home life
while on their furloughs, going into
camp again on such a day entailed
no small amount of discomfort
among them.
All this, however, did not dampen
the ardor of the soldiers, nor keep
some Of them from getting glO-
riously drunk and turning the town
topsy-turvey. The streets and pave
ements were soon filled with the
blue coats, and some of these blue.
coats with mean whiskey. Dur
ing the day a number Of dis
turbances took place, and serious
difficulties were narrowly averted.
The provost guard was increased to
about 100, and given orders to arrest
every man found drunk on the
streets. This gave the guards all
they were able to do, and they had
their hands full during the day.
Several of the men were bruised and
cut in fights, one OF them quite seri-
Ously. While City Marshal Jackson
was attempting to arrest drunken
soldier on the square Monday, sew
eral others interfered and the City
Marshal was forced to strike two of
them over the head with his mace.
This excited the soldiers, and but
for the GOODNESS Of the City M Irshal
and the assistance of officers Craft
and Mason and the provost guards,
a serious difficulty would doubtless
have occurred. Officer Goad was
also forced to strike drunken lieu
tenant over the head il Vortham' :
saloon Monday NJ ut. The police
have had grea' deal to contend
with, but under the circumstances
they have done the best they could
and discharged their duties we'll
The soldiers settled down somewhat
Tuesday, and since then better order
has been maintained.
The two regiments will probably
be mustered out by December 20
At all events they will not remain
in camp here more than a month
longer.

Alabama seems to Draw Closer and Closer
to Their ADOPTION.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Nov 80 Ala
hama appears to be drawing closer
and closer to prohibition. Several
local dispensary bills have passed,
and now Senator Moody, one of the
ablest and most Influential members
of the assembly, has introduced and
will vigorously push State dispen-
sarv bill, and the indications are it
will pass the Senate. While the
House on yesterday passed two local
dispensary bills with only four neg
ative votes. it is evident that gem
eral law of this character would
meet strong resistance there and the
probabilities are it would not pass.
1t has been "a matter of note alb Mt
the Hobbies that there are fewer liq-
uOr drinkers in the present assembly
than perhaps ever before.

Chaplain Solomon, of the Second
Mississippi, is greatly beloved by
every soldier in the regiment, and
he is always busy looking after the
physical, as well as the spiritual well
fare of the boys.
Lieut.. Wyllie, of the First Artil-
lerv, U. s. A., is here as recruiting
officer to receive any of the soldiers
who may desire to join the regular
army after they are mustered out as
volunteers.
A body of soldiers, to the number
of nearly 100, pulled" Col. Mont
gOmery and Maj Mayo out to the
Camp from the Bethel House in a
surrey Monday morning. The rain
was pouring and the road was al
most ankle deep in mud, but the
boys didn't care whit for that.
The soldiers are ubiquitous; they
are here, there and everywhere. If
you take the round of the saloons,
you will think they are all there
but if you HE yourself to the church
you will conclude that you are mis-
taken, for you will find them there
also. They composed Il goodly por-
ton of the prayer-meeting audiences
last Wednesday night. About 40 of
them were in attendance upon the
Baptist prayer meeting, the service
being led by Rev. Mr.. solomon
Chaplain of the 2nd Mississippi Reg
iment. At the First Methodist
Church about 20 were present, and
the meeting was conducted by Mr.
