A Minister Sues for Damages
We clip the following from the
Richmond Times:
Rev. DIR. +. III. Kerfoot, a Baptist
preacher of Louisville, has fled suit
for $4,000 damages for libel against
the Shelby Ky Sentinel. The suit
grows out Of an editorial article pub
lished last week reviling Dr. Cur
Foot because he had stated the pO-
Sition of Senator Goebel and opposed
Roberts local option bill. The sec
ton of the editorial is as follows:
'lt is unfortunately too frequent
that the cloak of religion is used to
cover the hydra headed and venomous
snake Of rottenness and treason, and
whenever beneath its fold is discov-
cred such cur it is fitting that the
foot should be called with it until
ne Is kicked from his false position"
\ dispatch from Louisville, Ky.
to the New York Sun, says: "The
Baptists of this State are thoroughly
aroused over an attack made last
week by the Shelby Sentinel, one of
the organs of William Goeble. the
nominee of the Louisville Con vention
for Governor, on the Rev. +. II. Ker-
foot, of the Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary. DIR. Kerfoot in a
recent address referred to the dis
tressing condition of politics in Ken
lucky, speaking especially of Goebers
tactics. The Sentinel took up the
matter and belittled and derided DR..
Kerfoot, both asa man aud as a min
lister. Dr. Kerfoot has brought suit
against the Sentinel and its editor.
Charles VI. Lewis, for S25. 900 dana

baptist associations and confer
ences in all parts of the State have

likely to lose much of the vote of the

of the amateurs of the Metropolitan Dis

asmuch as all of the three tracks in New

tracks, it is hardly probable that the one
hundred pures who were thrown profess
sonal this past winter through competing
with Ertz, the l.. A. w. professional. re-
instated by the N. C. A, will care to re-
turn and be compelled to travel at an ex-

Texas. Morriss was succeeded by Bovee
as the amateur champion of Texas back
in '96. Neither has been seen in the East.

On next Sunday the club will make run
to Rockville. Md. Every year about the
middle of April the boys make a run to
this town and this recalls the, fact that it
was the first run called after the organiz-
ing of the club in the spring of 1896
The boys are sorry to learn OF the ILL
ness of Oscar p. Schmidt who has been
one of the honorary members of the club
for the past two years, and hope that he
may soon recover
