In the Country


Bishop Charles B. Galloway, OF the
NJ. r. Church South, which occurred
at his home in Jackson, Miss, yester-
day morning at five O'Clock, OF pneu-
monia, will be received with VIDE
spread sorrow, not only by Methodlsts,
hut by all Christian protesting peo-
ple. in all climes, for his reputation
was worldwide. In fact, he was rec
sognized as one of the ablest preach
sers and one of the most distinguished
.churchmen in the United States.
Those who have heard him preacn
carry with them as a distinct mem
ory the great ability of his exegesis,
the charm of his eloquence and the
power of his argument. He was
great and good man, whose demise
will be regretted throughout the land
In Goldsboro, where he has rela-
tives resident, and where he has on
several occasions been their guest and
preached, both in st. Paul and St
John M. E. churches, his death will
be especially mourned, for our peo-
pie had formed a strong attachment
for him, and always fiocked to hear
him.
Bishop Galloway had been in ill
health for some time, suffering, it has
been stated, with Bright's disease, but
with the return of spring he seemed
to improve, and his friends hoped he
would be able to preside over the con-
ferenees to which he had been as
signed for this term. Recently, how
ever, he has shown considerable
feebleness, and some days ago devel-
.oped pneumonia, from which he died.
The bishop was taken i'll last Fri
.day, en- route from Nashville, where
he had attended the annual session of
the College of Bishops. No alarm
sover his condition was felt until Mon
day night, when pneumonia develop
sed in one lung. The patient grew
worse rapidly. During the final twlve
hours he was unconscious.
The funeral will take place this
GThursday) afternoon from the First
Methodist Church. followed by inter-
ment at Greenwood Cemetery, Jack
son.
Bishop Warren A. Canler, of Geor-
gia. will conduct the services.
Orders have been issued for all de-
partments of the Federal, state, coun-
ty and municipal government to re-
main closed all today and Mayor
Crowder has issued a proclamation
urging all the business houses to close
for the day.
