which begin that night in the Taber-

trict, and hay representatives from each
charge, numbering about seventy in
all. The conference will hold two busi-

to l p. m. and from to $50. There
will be preaching each day at IL a.

Rev. ]. d. Ellis. presiding elder of
the district, will preside at the con-
ference. Each year this body meets
to review the work of the year in all
of its phases, and to plan for the flu

These reports are tabulated and by

the sultry months.
The Casino at Thunderbolt with it's
vaudeville performances, light opera
band concerts, Punch and Judy shows
piano recitals, fish suppers, ETC.. al
though not an old resort, is already
known all over the Southern states be-
cause of the amount of advertising
done by the street railway company.
The Casino and Tybee, however, are
not the only resorts that Savannah
offers to visitors. Isle of Hope with
its many attractions, and Montgom-
cry, with its great number of adj
Vantages, are also being brought to
the front, and the visitor to Savannah
has no difhcultys in finding a cool spot.
Savannah is certainly well off in re-
sorts.

verted into canning factory, attracts
the attention of strangers at all sea-

one of the most beautiful places in the
country and the old decayed slave huts
will not be interfered with by Mr..
Zipperer, who will operate the factory,
and the Hermitage will be as much
an attraction as ever. Boniaventure,
too, is another favorite retreat for the
visitor, and Savannah has probably
more to offer to the summer traveller
in the way of beauty and attractions
than any place in the country-cer-

that what little sickness existed. has

SENSATION AT MoULTRIE.
Mayor Charged With Failing to Sup
mort Police.

Moultrie, Ga. June 2o.-An incident
bordering on the sensational occurred
here last night, when Chief of Police
]. A. Campbell and Policeman Wood
ard rendered their designations to the
City Council at called meeting. In
their farewell to the Council they
made some pretty salty charges
against Mayor r. P. Crenshaw. They
stated among other things that their
reason for resigning was that they
were handicapped in their efforts to
serve the city by the Mayor, who did
not give them the proper support. 1t
was particularly charged that the
Mayor had refused to uphold them in
their effort to Danish the blind tigers
from the city and they went so far as
to give ii as their opinion that the
Mayor was interested in one of the no.
torious blind tigers of the place. The
Council was very much stirred by the
charges and set a special meeting for
next Friday night at which the
charges will be investigated. The res
ignations of the two policemen were
accepted conditioned upon their stay
ing until suitable men to take their
places could be found.
Deputy Sheriff j. A. Collier recover
ed his horse yesterday that was stolen
Thursday night. The horse was track
ed to near ODE where it had been
turned loose and was returning home.
1t developed the thief was an escaped
convict from Allen G. Holmes convict
camp in this county. The negro had
friends at ODE and took the horse to
reach them that he might secure their
assistance in making his escape. He is
being pursued and it is believed he will
be recaptured. The negro had only
been sent to the gang last week.
Thieves continue to get in their work
around Moutrie. The home of Mr.
George Laney was entered by one last
night before II o'clock. He was heard
by Mr.. Laney who took his pistol and
went after him. The man heard him
and effected his escape, but not with
out Mr.. Laney getting a shot at him
The police took their hounds and fol-
lowed the man for several miles, but
finally lost the track in Ochlocknee
river.
Mr.. H. J. Murphy has returned from
fox hunt in the southern part of the
county. He brought back with him five
live foxes which he captured from one
hollow log. Mr.. Murphy reports the
most interesting chase in his expert
ence. The jump was made at o'clock
in the morning and with eight hounds
was kept up for eleven hours. Finally
the fox was forced to seek refuge in
big log that was hollow, and when il
was cut open, instead of one 1t con-
tanned five. Mr.. Murphy brought his
trophies back with him and now has
them on exhibition at his home In this
city.
