directors of the Baptist general conyen-
tion in Texas met in spsc!.I session in
this city today. 1t was authoritatvely
denied that the board would discuss the

missions; ii looks after State missions
only. President c. c, Slaughter pre-
sided and Rev. A. b. Ingram OF Corsicana
acted as secretary. Twenty-one members
of the directory wore present. One OF
uhe reasons for the special meeting, 1t
was stated, was that the board. at its first
meeting after the general convention held

priated $4,000 for this years work IL
was stated that conditions have so shaped
themselves that $4,000 must be raised
before the meeting OF the next general
convention In order to make the books
balance. 1t was also stated that "at
present the Baptists of Texas have lob
missionaries on the roll This Will be
increased to 175 when the years work
is closed. The home mission board have
agreed TO give $4,000 to the State board
and oner $1,000 additional II Texas raises
Sl2 900 this year motion was offered
that the offer of the home mission bs ac-
cepted.
The State Baptist Sunday school board
WAS also in session In long memorial IL
was requested that the board OF directors
OF the general convention take charge
OF the affairs of the Stale Sunday school
organization. The substance of the me-
mortal was for the consultation of the
two bodies a special committee of fiye
was appointed by the state board of diree-
tors to consider the matter. This com
m!ttee, in a lengthy report, recommended

MEDINA MUCH SWOLLEN.
Fenred TINT There Has Been Loss
of Life Among the Campers.

San Antonio, Texas, July 17--Reports
received here tonight indicate that the
damage to farming interests and railways
in the flooded districts of the Medina and
Guadalupe rivers will be great. Loss of
life has been reported from several points,
but lack confirmation, except in one in
stance, that of the drowning of Sam Bell.
Jr., at the Haby settlement, seven miles
above Castroyille. Young Bell was
member of camping party that left this
city about week ago. On Monday morn
ing he and another lad attempted to
water horses in the swollen Medina; the
water swept down upon the boys so sud-
denly that 1t was with difficulty that the
lad with Bell could be saved. The last
seen of the unfortunate boy he was hold
ing on to log in the rapid current. There
are probably fifty camping parties from
this city spending their leisure hours
along the banks of the swollen streams.
Much uneasness is felt for the safety OF
several parties, as they have not been
heard from since the food. The water at
Castroville flooded many houses in the
town and was higher than was ever known
before. The San Antonio and Aransas
Pass railway has lost many bridges north
of here
