FINE YEAR WITH IIl,I
THE METAODISTS
SPLENDID REPORTS WILL BE
SUBMITTED TO ANNUAL CON-
FERENCE sY COLUMBIA.
Big INCREASE IN COLLECTIONS
One Hundred Members Have Seen
Added to Church Rolls Dur.
ing The Year.

Progress and advancement charac
terized the past year with the twC
Methodist churches in Columbia. The
First church has met all its obliga
tions and the South Columbia church
viii do So In fact, the money is
practically in hand at the latter
church for a full, clean slate to be
reported TO the annual conference a;
McMinnville on Wednesday.
At the First Methodist church on
Sunday night the pastor, Rev. A. E.
Clement. submitted the report for the
past year This report was most
gratifying in every respect and was
received With much qualification BY
the members present. 1t shows that
the church, despite difficulties under
which it has labored, has had one OF
the most successful years in its his
tory.
Especially gratifying is the financial
report which shows that the total
amount contributed during the year
exceeded the contributions for the
previous year by over s1,7OO. The
total for the past year for all purposes
was S5,S99.75 as compared with $4,-
1881 for the conference year 1906
1907. Every assessment and the pas
tors and presiding elders salaries
were paid in full In addition to the
regular assessment for missions $50
special was contributed. The Women's
Home and Foreign Mission Societies
contributed a total of $697.2O, an UNI
fine contribution.
The membership report is good.
During the year there have been six
teen additions by profession of faith
and fifty-two added by certificate and
otherwise. The membership of the
church is now $50. While there has
been no revival meeting there has
been a continuous and glorious re-
vival during the year as attested by
the membership increase.
A splendid report likewise comes
in from the South Columbia church
by the pastor, Rev W. A. Stroud.
During the year forty-eight members
have been added to that church and
the collections probably exceed those
Of any previous year in the history Of
the church.
A most enjoyable feature of the
meeting Sunday night at the First
church was the special song and
lymnal service under the direction of /
Mrs. Charles H. Sharp.

are warming up in this county and
interest now centers in the race for

of the Republicans will also support
the independent
These candidates have met in the
county in four appointments begin
ming last Monday at Linden and the
result has been highly gratifying to
the Democrats, as their candidate, Mr..
Greer, has given strong and logical
reasons why he should have the sup
port of all the Democrats. He has
been especially severe and effective
in handling the political record of his
opponent. Democrats in this county
like regular, one who adheres to his
party's nominees, and they are not
taking kindly to the candidacy of one
who has SO often been a candidate In
opposition to the standard-bearers Of
Democracy.
Mr.. Greer has asked Capt. Russell
to meet him at Hohenwald for a de-
bate but the latter has not yet agreed.
The Democratic nominee is also anx-
ious for a division of time with Capt.
RUSSELL in Maury county, and has
written to his leaders and friends in
that county to arrange a series of APP
pointments. 1t is not known whether
Capt. Russell will agree to this ar
or not.
From present indications Greer
will receive an unprecedented major
ity in this county, which some of his
friends now estimate as
high as 1000. But $50 majority would
be a safe and conservative estimate.

An audience which taxed the ca

Bishop Gailor at the morning service

MANY GIFTS
FOR THE POOR
Santa Claus Association Will Glad
den the Hearts of 1874
Children.

The busiest place that a reporter
for The News saw in his rounds
Thursday morning was the head
quarters of the Santa Claus Asso-
citation in the county. court room at
the court house.
The room was so packed full of
candies, toys, fruits, fire works, and
such like, that it was almost impos-
sible for one to get In. The work OF
getting these gifts distributed is a
great task; but those In charge of ii
have performed the same thing SO
often that they have almost perfect
system adopted.
Mrs. Lyddane said that the associ-
alton had one hundred and sixty-four
children to supply with presents,
The News reporter never realized
how many 164 was before; the pile
of toys and other gifts looked more
like supply for thousand than
it did for 164.
Each chiid's name age and sex
have been registered and the pack
ages have been arranged so thai
each may receive an appropriate
present and so they can be quickly
delivered.
This is a great work and one that
Winchester is proud of. The hap
piness that these good people who
are at the head of this movement
bring into the homes of the poor of
this city Christmas morning will be
beyond description.
The citizens have responded lib
orally and they can all rest assured
that Old Santa will make a visit to
every poor child in our city.

Sydney, Australia, Dec. 24-At 1920
tomorrow night New York time) the
Burns-Johnson heavyweight fight will
begin. Sydney time is fourteen hours
and forty minutes earlier than New

from Texas and the French Can

Christmas bells will still be ringing.
All Australia seems to have gone
sport mad over the fight, although
the church people have made some
efforts to prevent it. Nothing else is
talked of wherever men get together
in all parts of the commonwealth and
there is much betting on the result.
Burns seems to have the call among
the betting men, but followers of
Johnson are not shy.
Hot Weather at Sydney.

midst of the Australian summer. It's

aged to feather his nest with the fight.
Win or lose, the shrewd scrapper is
to get $4,000, while Johnson will get
only So 900. Much other cash will flow
to the men in the shape of picture
royalties, theatrical engagements, etc..
but in everything Burns will come in
for the lions share. Burns profits
from the fight will be over 100000.
He makes no bones of the fact that

johnson Anxious to Fight.
Johnson's supporters harp on the
fact that he is so anxious to, face
Burns in the ring that he would al
most fight him for nothing. Both men
have good records as fighters, Burns
being more brilliant, while Johnson's
is longer.
In tomorrow's battle Burns is en-
pected to carry the war into John
sons territory as long as he is able
to fight on the aggressive, while John
son will probably rely on his skill as
a long range boxer and try to stand
off rushes until he is able to deliver
knockout blow A long battle is ex-
pected.
Many reports have come here from
America to the effect that Yankee
sports look on the fight with suspi-
cion. 1t is declared here also in some
quarters that it will be a fake, and it
Is pointed out that terms of the con-
test are such that Burns has little in
ducement to fight ION the level"
However, Australian sports are keen
observers. They would be the first to
spot any taxing and would be quick
to resent it. They are going to give
up a great deal of their money to see
fight, and they want TO see a real
one The general opinion here seems
20 be that they will get one.
