SOME FAMILY HISTORY IN

A nephew Of General Benjamin
Franklin Tracey. ex-secretary OF the
Navy, has gone to Rome, Ca, to marry
Miss Florida Seay, whose -Aother was
the college chum Of Martha Bulloch,
or Bullooh,, the mother Of President
Roosevelt. All Georgia is excited over
the accession of half Georgian to
the Presidency, and every family that
knew the Bullochs, or Bullocks, is
willing to claim kin with the son of
Miss Martha" once the belle of the
State. Mrs. Seay was known in the
high society of the State as Miss Flo
Bayard. Her family were closely re-
lated to the Bayards of this State.
Though a woman of the utmost re-
fnement, culture and beauty, she re-
manned a spinster so long that the
faithfulest of her ardent worshipers
admitted the hopelessness OF their suit
and spread it abroad that mo man in
the South is good enough for Miss
Flo"
A live man of the name of John
j. Seay came along, met Miss Flo and
captured her, to the amazement not
only of Georgia society, but OF the
Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee, the
Right Rev. Charles Todd Quintard, her
brother-in-law, and his children, who
called her Aunt Flo" George W..

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION


The Episcopal General Convention.
now in session In San Francisco, prom
ises to be one Of the most important
gatherings under the auspices Of the
church, for many decades. Il was gem
orally understood that the attitude OF
the great body towards the question of
divorce wou.d be brought up for final
settlement; but at the very beginning,
another question which has caused
much agitation, and upon which the
ccmmunicants. laity and clergy, are
divided was brought before the body.
Bishop Morris. Of Oregon, is respon-
sible Tor bringing to the attention Of
the convention the question Of ritual
ism. In an address before the body he
denounced certain OF its phases in Ian
guage that might have come from a
Methodist or a Presbyterian. It is the
most difficult problem the churoh has
to solve. and is as old as the idea CT
worship. There are many elements
which go to make up opinions in this
matter; temperament, training, preju-
dice and custom. Al bottom it is a
question OF psychology, and that is the
reason that the race has been SO long
and so positively divided on It,
The High Church and the Low
Church have each had loyal adherents,
and open rupture has been prevented
by a charity and a policy which have
prevented a clash in opinions. In short
there has been spirit Of concession
and liberation, which has allowed indi-
vidual churches considerable latitude
