Guyton Divine Expelled from the
Baptist Church.


Baptist Church.
Saturday was a memorable day in the
history of New Providence Baptist church
in Guyton. The occasion was the trial of
Rev. T. W. Lanier, pastor of the church
for eight years Rev. DR.. J. E. L. Holmes
of Savannah was made moderator of the
conference, and he performed the delicate
duties of the position with marked ability.
and his rulings gave general satisfaction.
DR.. I. w. Lanier was arraigne1 aud
pleaded not guilty to the charges made by
| the council. The latter was composed of
tho following named gentlemen: rev.
James Cross, Rev. Mr. Costin, and John
Speer, Angus Moore, David Sorren. John
Rogers and George Hodge, lay delegate.
This committee heard at length Rev. Mr..
Lanier, Rev. j. A. Scarboro, the present
pastor, and others. and it was not until 10
o'clock Saturday night that they could
come to an agreement. The report of the
council did not disappoint any one. for it
was we'll known from the sentiments
of the gentlemen composing the
council that Rev. Lanier would stand
slim chance to run the gauntlet
of their well-known views on theology.
In other words thsy, or the majority of
them, believed in sticking to the old land
tolerate any deviation, hence, az a gentle
man said, it was a fight between the liberal
element of the church headed by Rev. Mr..
Lanier, and the orthodox, who held ex-
treme views in another direction.
The report OF the committee, after recit-
ing the causes which brought the confer
ence together, recommended that Rev.
Lanier DO expelled The report of the com
mittee was adopted. 1t is understood that
the vote was five in favor of expulsion aud
two against. The whole day was consumed
in skirmishing and hearing evidence, and
it is reported that there were some sharp
bouts between the parties at times, which
looked as if it would lead to something more
serious
Rev Lanier was allowed to address the
congregation after his expulsion, which was
one of the most feeling talks ever heard in
the church. He reviewed at length his
eight years services as pastor, the difficult
ties he had encountered and the obstacles
he had overcome, and said that when he
took hold of the church it was mere frag-
ment, with no Sabbath school of its own.
that he had built up the congregation to
considerable numbers and when he left the
Sabbath school numbered lao pupils.

IT WAS A HOT MIGHT.
The Scarcity of Wind Made the Heat
Severely Felt.

Once in q long while is often enough to
experience such nights as last night was.
The temperature was not 50 high, but not a
breath Of air was stirring and the heat was
almost unendurable. At o'clock the TEN
perature at the signal station was S. and
the highest any time during yesterday was
IS.
The stiffness of the atmosphere was what
made the heat so severe, What wind there
was last night came from the northwest
and 1t did not move more than mile an
| hour People sat on piazzas and doorsteps
| to catch every breath of air that moved
| Windows were thrown wide open to get the
wind. but about the only thing that stirred
was the mosquitoes, aud the weather just
suited them. All of the Belt Line cars
were well patronized by people who rode to
| get the breeze
Although the weather In Savannah was
| hot enough. there were any number of
| places in the state where it was hotter.
cambridge and Townsville reported 96',
Eastman and Millen IS, and at Jesup the
| 100 mark was reached. The average
| highest temperature for the thirteen signal
service stations in the Savannah district of
| the cotton belt was 9G. The mean temper
| allure for Savannah was only 2 above the
average for the last eighteen years.
The hot weather, though, is prevailing all
| over the country. At O'clock last night
nearly all Of the southern stations reported
temperatures above 80. Titusville, Fla,
reported l0G0 yesterday. Up in the north
west 1t is hot, too. There are no indica-
tions for any change at Savannah to-day.
All of last week was slightly warmer than
usual in the states west Of tine Mississippi
river, and in Mississippi, Maryland. Della
ware and portions Of Pennsylvania, Viz
ginia and Alabama. About the normal
temperature prevailed in the South Atlantic
states, the Ohio and the Upper Mississippi
valleys, while the daily temperature in Now
England and the upper lake region, inciud-
ing the northern portions of Indiana, lii
nois and Ohio, averaged about g below the
mean.
The thermal conditions for the season
have changed but slightly within the las
two weeks. In the states Of the Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and the Lake regions the
daily average temperature has differed less
than L from th3 normal, while in Southern
New England, Eastern New York and in the
extreme northwest the daily temperature
for the season has averaged 2 above the
normal and in Northern Dakota this excess
amounts to 4. Along the South Atlantic
and Gulf coasts the season has been slightly
cooler than usual

but she succeeded in effecting her escape,
and finally made her way back to Savan-
nah, surprising her husband by her strange

a Pair of Shoes.

Few of our readers pay little attention to
footwear except as necessary article of
apparel, or when it happens to cover a
pretty foot. and fewer still ever give
thought to the skillful workmen and intri-
cate machinery now required to produce a
perfect shoe.
Many would be astonished to visit a large
factory such as w. L. Douglas at Brock
ton, Mass, to see how the excellent shoes
manufactured by him could be made to sell
at such low prices Never in the history of
shoe-making in this country have such
values been put into footwear as are shown
to-day, and never has well-made and
durable shoe been so completely within the
reach of the masses as at the present time.
The system of stamping shoes with price
and warranJee is used by w. l.. Douglas on
all his shoes, which protects the wearer and
gives Inducements that no other manufact-
ures can, as the skilled labor and careful
attention to every detail employed by Mr..
Douglas make it almost impossible for an
imperfect shoe to leave his factory.
