First Baptist church of Savannah,

more rapidly than Mr.. Jordan.

Der of pulpits IN the western part
of the State. Although still under

Running Order.

Thursday night Revenue ofhcer

of which was destroyed. The par
ties operating the still were not
captured. One man was shot and
it is supposed dangerously wound
ed. 1t is not known how long the
still has been running. This is the

NashviIIe's rlay Festival.

Ten thousand dollars has been
subscribed to the fund that was
raised by the merchants of Nash
vile to insure the success of the
great May Festival, which begins
May 10 with parades and contests
by the fire departments of Nashville
and many other cities. Handsome
prizes have been offered in these
contests of apeed, etc, and this will
be a great feature. The women of
Nashville and of almost every city
and town hereabouts are greatly
interested in the splendid floral
parade which will be had one day,
and in which hundreds of beauti-
fully decorated carriages will take
part, the society women of all cities
in the state being represented.
Mrs. ]. w. Thomas is in charge of
this part of the weeks festivities,
and she has never found out what
failure means as applied to a pub
lie enterprise. Committees from
every section of the city of Nash
vile are enthusiastically working
night and day and the determine
ton is to make this parade the
most beautiful ever seen in this
country, and even surprising the
grand pageant seen at the Expo
sition on Kate Kirkman Day.
Fire works such as have never be-
fore been seen in Nashville and
music by the greatest of bands,
Observation-Disclosures Band, are
among the other attractions daily.
The railroads have given rate of
a single fare for the round trip for
the whole week.

WHITSITT'S SUCCESSOR.
DR.. j. p. Greene, Of Missouri,
Il Unanimously Chosen.

Louisville, May 13--Rev. John
p. Green, d. D., of Missouri, was
to-day elected President and pro-
fessor of church, history in the
Southern Baptist Theological semi
nary, succeeding Rev. William HI.
Whihsltt in both Offices. The cleo
ton was unanimous. &
Three candidates we're promi-
nently mentioned for the place when
the trustees assembled-Rev. F. H.
Kerfoot and Rev. ]. r. Sampey, OF
Louisville, and Rev. John p. Greene,
of Missouri. There was report
that DR.. Greene would not accept,
but later developments showed that
it had no effect on the trustees.
Shortly after the trustees came to
order letter was received from
Rev. f. H. Keerfoot, stating that he
was out of the contest for president
and professor of church history.
Rev. Sampey got out OF the race
and the unanimous selection OF Dr.
Greene followed.
The election of DR.. Greene is
virtually victory for the Whitsitt
people, for Kerfoot had been ardent
ly championed by the Eaton crowd
Rev. John P. Greene is dlstln-
guished member of the Baptist
church. He was born in Scott
county, Mo-, August 20, 1872 he
received his first education at La
grange College in Missouri, after
which he matriculated at the South

Most Valuable Cat in the World.

People who admire cats say that
they are the only domestic animals
which possess either character or
individuality, but even the most en-
thusiastic cat lover would probably
hesitate before valuing cat at S.
600. Mrs. Charles Weed, of Bound
Brook, N j., has a cat, however,
which cat connoisseurs say is
worth that sum.
The name of this cat is Napoleon
the Great, and he is great. He's a
big, gray fellow, with a coat as
thick as a bearskin, but considera-
bly, softer. Napoleon belongs to
that brand of cat known as Ango-
ras. The breed is distinguished
for the length and sickness of the
fur, but also for the beautifully
symmetrical markings which some
of them possess.

A NEW BERRY.
Mr.. Frank b. Hancock Has Fruited
Fine Seeding Strawberry.

We have been shown specimen
berries from Mr.. Frank B. Han
cocks new Seeding strawberry,
originated on his fruit farm at Cas-
ky. The berries shown us were
not the largest, being selected as
average. They are of fine size,
beautiful color and excellent flavor.
The plant growth is as nearly per-
feet as can be, every plant being
loaded with berries, and it is a fine
plant maker. The berries ripen
with Michel's Early and are larger
and finer than that popular variety.
1t is from Bubach pollenized with
Wolverton. Mr.. Hancock now has
so fruiting plants and is casting
about for a name for the new berry.
He is thinking of calling it the
"Hopkinsville."
