THE WHITSITT RESOLUTION.
Vote On it Not to Be Considered Az
Favoring DR.. Whitsitt.

''In the News and Observers recent re-
port of the Anti-Whitsitt resolution in
troduced by myself in the Baptist State
Convention, in Oxford, the headlines
'WHITSITT SUSTAINED and the
general statement of the whole matter
IS calculated to mislead," said Rev. J. e.
Whitley esterday. "Dr. Whitsitt was not
sutained by the convention, and the
statement of the matter in this weeks
Biblical Recorder gives correct idea
the action of the convention.
Il introduced a resolution calling for
Dr' Whitsitt's resignation. DIR. A. NJ.
Simms moved to lay the resolution on
the table. The motion was lost by
vote of 30 to 90. Elder Il. II. VanR
offered the following substitute:
In view of the facts and circum-
stances, Resolved, That this Convention
take no action at this time upon the
Whitsitt controversy
After miscellaneous remarks from
several quarters and a very able speech
from Rev. DIR. J. w. Carter, of Raleigh.
vote was taken. The vote stood: For
the substitute, %; against it, 81; on
the original as amended. the final vote
stood for, SO; against, II.
Thus the Convention decided not to
take action upon the Whtsitt controver-
sy. 1t was distinctly declared before
the vote That this should not be con-
sidered as favoring President Whitsitt's
position; that il was a refusal to pass
Judgment upon him; and that it was
an action of Difference to the Trustees
of the Seminary.
The general impression was that the
best way to effect President Whitsitt's
resignation, was not to try to force him
TO it. This was one of the main points in
question, Should President Whitsitt
resignT the conventionw ould have been
ten to one against him. Bro. VanR
himself, who introduced the substitute,
made statement TO this effect"

Lansing, Mich, July 10.--Notwith-
standing the fact that a number Of
prominent attorneys have given an
opinion to the effect that Albert Stiles
of Jackson can continue to serve as a
member of the board Of control of the
state prison until the senate confirms
his successor, Governor Pingree main
tains that a vacancy has existed since
Feb Is. when Stiles six years of service
expired. The governor has, therefore,
appointed Harmon T. Holmes of
Chelsea to fill the alleged vacancy, two
attempts to fill it when the legislature
was in session having failed because of
the rejection of II. G. Brooks of jack
son, and the ineligibiity of William
Judson of Ann Arbor. 1t is not improb-
able that the question raised by Holmes
appointment will find its way into the
courts.
