Appointments Read Tomorrow.
The Bishop and his cabinet have
seemingly sealed up their work and APP
pointments. There is little leaking al
this point. Although the transfer has
not been announced, ii has been stated
that Or. Shoaff of the Alabama con-
ference, will be placed at st. Paul's
Church, Columbus to succeed Rev. J.
Z. Wray. who has been transferred
to New Orleans.
The address of Rev. H. NJ. DuBose,
secretary of the Epworth League, was
one of the richest treats of the con-
ference. DR.. DuBose is one of the
most fluent. eloquent speakers in the
church. AS there is to be a session
Monday morning, it is now quite like
ly that the appointments will not be
read until afternoon or night.

Cornerstone Was Laid.
There was no session of the confer
ence this afternoon, as it developed in
the morning session that while it was
possible by rushing the business of
the conference in an afternoon session
to get the appointment Monday, it was
best to adjourn until Monday osthat
several reports to be acted upon might
receive the time and attention which
they deserve.
Awaiting himself of the presence of
the conference and the Bishop, Mr.. r.
]. Stroller, president of the South
Georgia College, had arranged to have
the corner stone of a new annex to the
college laid this afternoon. Bishop
Duncan presided and made the lead
ing address. The following articles
were placed in the stone: "A Simple
Mountain Woman and Her Great
Work." mother of w. A Huckabee,
