Docketed for Letting
Boys Play Machine.

Alec Cohen, who conducts a
general store at Montgomery and
Bay streets was placed on the
police docket yesterday morning
on a charge of keeping a gaming
house.
The charge grew out of the
fact that Cohen had a slot ma
chine in operation in his store, at
which he permitted small boys
to play. The machine is the
as a number of others around the
city, which the police ordered
owners to keep away from the
public.
The chances of getting great
returns from the machine are
about the same as one would have
to guess the shell under which
the small black ball is located,
and some one has tersely put it
that lit is 30 per cent. stronger
than stealing"

South Georgia Conference.

| uS OOutu 1SOI Id SOA1CI SASS
of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which meets at McRae
this morning, is not one whit IF
less importance, though slightly
smaller in the number of it's
members, than the North Geor.
gia conference, which has just
closed most successful session
at Marietta.
When DR.. Wallace Duncan
opens the work of the conference
today there will be gathered in
the thriving little metropolis of
Telfair county, the representa-
tives of nearly seven hundred
houses of worship and over four
hundred pastors aud localpreach-
ers, who have been ministering
to nearly 10000 members. Dur
ing the past year this great body
of Christian workers raised in
Georgia the handsome sum of
$40, 469.SS for mission work.
If the founder of Methodism,
AID the man who esta biished the
second Methodist society ever
organized in the world, could
look down upon the body of
earnest men gathered at McRae
today, he must surely feel graft
fed at the tremendous strength of
this denomination in Georgia and
throughout the nation, for even
his jealous regard could hardly
have pictured the homes and
!. school houses, the substantial
and enduring church edifces
and the millions of those who are
enrolled today in the ranks of
Methodism in America. The
special doctrines characterizing
this body were first inculcated
by John Wesley among the
co1onists at Savannah.
A church with over six million
communicates in the United
States, holding second rank in
numerical strength among the
Christian denominations in this
country, having in it's seventeen
various branches in the year 1908
a total of 1864 ministers and
81, 572 places of worship, is sure
ly performing the la Dor of zeal
Gus workers in the vineyard of
earthly affairs and yields an in
f1uence that il powerful for good.
Nearly four hundred pastors
are waiting for the verdict of the
presiding bishop and his advis-
ers, in absolute darkness as to
the work that will be cut out for
their attention next year, or the
charge to which they will be sent
to minister, for when the bishop
speaks, there is nothing to do
but obey, and that willingly.
Tne readers of the Constitu'
ton are familiar with the earn
estness, zeal and aggressive en-
ergy of Bishop Duncan, as re-
vealed 10 his conduct of the
North Georgia conference, and
the fact that he will also preside
over the sessions of the South
Georgia conference is a certain
guarantee of the prompt and
businesslike administration o.
the MISREPRESENTATION.
