Anyway the name of the pastor of the

WHY ACTION WAS POSTPONED.

The postponement was evidently due
to the presence of a large number of
members opposed to the Scheme of the
fuss-makers.
The trouble at the First Baptist
Church is now worse than at any time
before.
1t is stated that the church has voted
hve times in some form or other upon
the Payne resolution and ca n time has

the pulpit of the First Baptist Church.

THE ELDERS REMARKS.

Rev; u. ID. Lewis, d. D., pastor of the
Second Baptist Church preached AN abIe
and interesting sermon ON last Supdav
morning. At its conclusion, he said
that some one had been telling lies ON
blm. He declared that member of the
church had made publication in the
papers and he wished the church to
know and understand that the case had
been investigated by the Deacon Board
The brother had declared that he
lReed) had bought the Raglan himself
from julius Sycle g. Son. That Mr..
Sycle did not have one large enough for
his wife and sent away and had one
made to order.

THAT INSTALLATION SERMON.

The sermon of Rev 2. D. Lewis. d.
u, at the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist
Church at the installation of Rev. r. "
Peyton was the subject of additional
discussion and tended TO increase the
talk concerning the Raglan incident.
Rev. Lewis declared that no regularly
ordained pastor should be engaged in
secular employment such as president
or insurance companies, Bank Directors
and the like. He claimed that it was
inconsistent with their high calling.
DIR. BIEGA oBJKcrs.
This called forth mild protest from
Rev. DR.. A. Binga, who is president
OF an insurance company and did not
tend to win the favor Of Rev. Dr. w.
+. Graham, Rev. w. L. TAYLOR, and
Rev. h j. Bass, who are regularly or
dalned ministers with charges and vet
are presidents OF insurance companies
1t was further alleged that Rev. DR..
Lewis at the time he was preaching the
sermon was Vice. President of an insur-
ance,cempany. So much for that. in the
way or an explanation.

HOW GIRL WHO DID NOT MEAN TO EX

AGGERATE WAS BROKEN OF HABIT
Helena Mountjoy did not mean to exaggerate;
nevertheless she did it, and it grew to be ter
rible habit. She seemed unable to say anything
reasonably. Every good time she had was the
very best time of her life. a fair sized dog was
the most enormous creature anybody ever Idld
eyes upon: waiting on the corner three minutes

thirty million hours until the sloWest cable car
that any one could poss bly, imagine finally came
crawling down the street And so it went on
until her family began to worry and wonder
whore Hrena's remarkable powers of CONVEX
sation would land her.
Mrs Mouutjoy decided after considerable
thought that the next time she heard her
daughter exaEgerate she would punish her in
way that would work great impression on
II-leua's vivid imagination. She was duly
warned of her mothers Intention. and soon the
opportunity came.

WORK OF THE CONFERENCE.
MIR. Adams Talks of the Business
That Was Transacted.

Mr. Samuel B. Adams, who was
chairman of the delegation of laymen
of the Methodist Church, who went to
Dallas from Georgia to attend the Cen
eral Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, returned yes
terday. Mr.. Adams was chairman by
virtue of having received the highest
vote in the South Georgia Conference
The other delegates were as follows:
Rev. w. C.NLovett, editor of the Wes-
leyan Advocate; Rev. A. NJ. Williams
Waycross; Rev. DR.. James o. Branch
Dixie; Rev. DR.. John b. MeGeehee;
Rev. DR.. c. E. bowman, president of
Emory College: Mr.. j. l. Day of Co
lumbus, Mr. Isaac Hardeman of Macon,
Mr.. o. L. Smith of Valdosta, and Mr..
M. B. Austin of Brunswick.
Mr.. Adams was seen by a repre-
sentative of the MAhing News, whom
he told that his trip had been a very
pleasant one, and that he considered
that the work of the conference had
been fraught with great advantage to
the church He said that the people
of Dallas had shown the delegates
every hospitality, and that the stay
of the visitors had been very pleas
ant.
Speaking of the order of deaconesses
that Is TO be eStabnShed, MI. ADAMS
said that only unmarried women will
be engaged in it. and that they will
be required to give their entire time
to religious and charitable work.
They will be clad in some distinctive
way, in order that they may be read
lily recognizable and their presence
always explained. Mr.. Adams does
not know whether or not there will
be one or more of the deaconesses
located in Savannah, though he said
that there seems to be plenty of room
for their work here.
The conference, Mr.. Adams said,
was free from bitterness or person
alities. It was characterized by dig
nifty and courtesy, and there was per-
feet good feeling.

NO CHANGE IN A YEAR.
Col. Cam Made the Same Reply to
the Sea Grit Invitation.


Last year an invitation was extended
the Georgia State Troops to send rifle
teams to participate in the contests at
Sea Girt, New Jersey, where so many
valuable trophies have been won by
teams from this state. The Governor
referred the invitation to Col. George
T. Cam, inspector general of rifle
practice, who advised against it's ac-
ceptance, his Endorsement giving his
reasons and showing that it would be
incompatible for the Georgia State
Troops to be represented in a Sea Girt
contest while the wrongs suffered by
the Georgians there in 1899 remained
unrighted. This Endorsement was pub
lished by the Morning News at the
time, and Col. Cams views met with
the sanction of all the crack rifle shots
of Savannah.
This year there has been a renewal
of the invitation, and again the Gov
ernor has referred the matter to Col.
Cam, saying that he would be guided
by the latterS advice. Col. Cam re-
piled that until the great wrong done
the Georgia team in the Hilton trophy
contest in 1899 is rectifed, or salts
factorilY explained, or the then execu-
tive management of the Sea Girt range
changed, it is decidedly to the best
interest of the service that the Georgia
troops should not contest there. This
statement, Col. Cam wrote, he made
with the utmost regard for the present
Governor and adjutant general of New
Jersey. He referred the Governor to
his Endorsement of a year ago, which
clearly shows the reasons that would
make it impossible for the Georgia
troops. in respect to themselves, to send
another team to Sea Girt under its
present management.
