WORK OF MISSION BOARD.

ooo-sishop Kilso's Sermon.

The board of missions of the South
Carolina conference held its sessions
Iii the Washington Street Methodist
church. All of the IL clerical mem
bers of the board, two Of the IL lay
members and six of the IL presiding
elders were present. The collection
and distribution of the $4,000 mis-
sionary offering is the business OF
the board. The members OF the
board think the outlook for the larg'
est missionary offering ever made BY
the South Carolina conference is
good, and will be made this year
Rev. M. B. Kelley Is deyoting his
time as missionary secretary to tho
matter of missions throughout the
conference.
Bishop Jno. c. Kilgo, a native OF
South Carolina, and the SON OF
Methodist preacher, addressed the
board. His subject was "Eyange.
lism." The bishop also preached at
night to a mixed congregation. The
text chosen was Tim. 1:15: "This if
a faithful saying and worthy OF all
acceptation, that Jesus came into the
world to save sinners"
The bishop said, in substance: "Tht
words of the text are the only ex.
PLANTATION of the incarnation and
atonement. The one great fact ever
present to the consciousness OF
Christ was the salvation of a sin
cursed world. The one great fact OF
salvation is the explanation of his
mighty works. He spoke with finality
concerning himself: No one cometh
unto the father but by me-
"The one passion of Jesus was the
salvation of sinners. Their cry com.
manded his instant attention. The
leper, the sinful woman, the thief on
the cross, penitent Peter, all called
from him instant redemption.
"The church which does not possess
such passion for sinners is organ.
lied hypocrisy. The protesting Chris
tian who does not share the passion
of his master is a hypocrite.
"The passion of the master is the
ground of all the science of missions.
AS the church shows the passion Of
the master SO will the world be
brought to Christ"

MAY DEFEAT
INVESTIGATION BILL
Division Exists Over
Proposed Measure.

Atlanta, July 19.-In the senate to,
day a determined attack was made on
the Ault resolution which recently
passed the house and which provides
for complete investigation of the
state department of agriculture.
The resolution came up for a sec
ond reading and Senator Sheppard
tried to prevent its being read a sec
ond time, this being a part of an ef-
fort to prevent it coming before the
senate with a favorable comittee re-
port. The vote on the question of sec
ond reading stood 16 for and II
against. President Slaton voted for a
second reading, thus tying the vote
and making the second reading neces-
sary.
The incident caused considerable
gossip, especially on account of the
fact that it was so prominently stat
ed when the resolution came up in the
hRuse that the investigation was be-
Sg ordered at the requests Of com

IN THROES OF RABIES
AUGUSTA GROCER Died
Tortured for Three Days Be.
fore Death Came.

Augusta, Ga, July 19.-After suffer-
ing paroxysms, the most eXcruciating
pain and having convulsions one after
another, p NJ. Selby, a grocer of this
city, died last night from hydrophob-
ia.
1t is the first case in the history Of
the city, so medical men say, and one
of the very few cases ever in this
county.
Selby and his wife live at the corn
er of Kollock and South Boundary
streets, where they keep neighbor-
hood grocery. Six weeks ago the hus-
band took a little fox terrier dog into
his store. A short time after the dog
began to stay with Mr.. and Mrs. tSeI-
by it seemed to be i'll and refused 10
eat. One day Mrs. Selby was trying
to get it to eat and it bit her on the
hand. The next day it bit the hus-
band. The dog soon afterward died
and was buried by the Selbys, al
though neither man nor wife thought
that it had the rabies.
On Sunday last Selby complained ct
having pains under his left shoulder.
He thought it was rheumatism and
doctored the pains for rheumatism.
Sunday night and Monday night ne
failed to sleep and Tuesday morning
his wife sent for DR.. J. B. Wright.
Just before DR.. Wright reached the
place Selby, without any one suggest
ing it to him, said to his wife: "An-
ME, little girl, it's hydrophobia; pray
for me-
He then went into commissions and
tossed about on the floor and finally
rolled down the steps into the yard
writhing and twisting and groaning
He was then taken to a hospital.
His wife is badly frightened and
believes that she. will be attacked by
hydrophobia also. 1t is probable that
she will be sent to a Pasteur insti-
tute

BUSY BUILDING BARN ON HIS
CHEROKEE COUNTY FARM.

Atlanta, Ga, July 19,-News from
Marietta, concerning the attitude Of
former Governor Brown Thursday d.
vided interest and with other deye-
opments equally as important with
reference to GeoTgials impending CUB
ernatorial campaign A mass meet
ing at Dalton, to urge the candidacy
of Paul B. Trammell, the activities Of
Col. ]. Pope Brown and Judge R. B
Russell, coupled with significant gos-
sip about the probable candidacy Of
President John NJ. Slaton and the
facetious announcement of Col. w. w.
Wilson, of Gwinnett, of his candidacy,
served to keep alive interest in the
situation.
Former Governor Brown returned to
Marietta Wednesday morning after a
week or ten days in Cherokee county
He made it clear that he is not now i
candidate for the gubernatorial char
and indicated his belief that any for
NAL statement on his part at this
time would be premature. He is more
interested just now in the construc-
ton of a three-story barn on his
farm than he is in the gossip about
the governorship. The silence of Jhe
former governor as to his reputed
candidacy has given the friends of
President Slaton renewed confidence
H. their belief that Mr.. Brown viii
not run for the office and sy the
same token has given additional i'm
petus to the Slaton boom, which
shows no signs of lessening. Some
of them assert that Mr.. 6laton's an
nouncement may be forthcoming at
any time and they anticipate an early

ONLY IMPERATIVE NEED
WILL GUST GOVERNOR
Otherwise He Will Not Go to
Senate.

Atlanta, Ca, July 19.-Governor
Hoke Smith is still on the job at the
capitol His friends believe he will
remain there for many days, proba-
bly, until the legislature adjourns. The
governor himself has made no formal
announcement concerning his pur-
pose, but it may be stated that there
is small chance for his Tesigning I'M
less he is convinced that his pres
ence in Washington is imperative 20
the success of the Democratic party.
AS indicated in Tuesdays News,
the governor is in close touch with
Washington and his advices do not
indicate that he is needed in the SEN
ate. He had other communications
Wednesday morning and these tended
to corroborate earlier advices. The
friends of the governor are insistent
in their demands that he is in no way
responsible for the fact that Georgia
is only pafudlIy represented III Tue
serate. Senator Terrell purposely quit
in order to embarrass the governor,
they say, thereby indicating willing
ness to sacrifice the state to order to
play politics.
The Ragsdale-scott resolutions was
finally introduced in the house We'd
rcsday morning. 1t will lie on the
table for a day. The resolution calls
upon the governor to resign and re-
pair to Washington. 1t will be de-
feated, if it is ever voted upon. Both
of its authors supported Mr.. Terrell
eor the senate.
